LOOKING TO THE FUTURE,
Montara's College Of agriculture and
Mcchani Arts.

From correspondence in The Ana
conda Recorder we Gull the following
ing interesting items relative to the
Montana agricultural college:
Only two more weeks and the
school year Of of1S94-95 will have come
to an end. 1t seems safe to say now
chat the Montana College OF Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts is an assured
success, having almost completed
the second year Of it's existence, with
everything running smoothly and the
prospects promising for the future.
The cost OF sending q young man
or woman to this college need not
exceed exclusive Of clothing and in
cidcntal expenses) 5000 year.
Board ranges from $3.50 to SlG.50
per month: the entrance fee is SO
and the books and stationery need
not cost more than 10 Il year.
! Because Of lack Of aCcommoda-
tions the faculty is not in a position
to exercise that degree Of control
over the department Of the pupils
which is desired. However, they arc
required to spend a reasonable por-
tion Of their evenings in study and
must avoid all questionable resorts.
During the summer months, pll-
pills SO desiring can obtain employ
mcnt On the college farm. receiving
pay at the rate of Is cents per hour,
Some changes are contemplated in
the near future, which if put int
effect, will result in the entrance re
quircmcnts being much higher thar
they have been in tho past. The
local board have the changes undei
consideration and will make a repor>
next week.
At present the college occupies ;
portion of the public school buiIdiu,
and all of the old academy building
The location is not very convenient
but the near future will lndOuDtcd!'
find us in possession Of good building

AR1ICHOkES FOR HOGS.
4 highly Productive Crop Even on Dry
Ground.

Articholes are pronounced The
best and surest root crop for dry
seasons. This root will be apprcci-
ated by those living in drought sec
tions- and by farmers having poor,
chin soil while on rich soil it has no
superior. OShould another dry season
overtakc us we may be ready to meet
it. The yield is SO enormous that
one can scarcely believe the quantity
that can be grown On an acre.
Those WHO have given them Il
thorough trial the past year report a
yield from 900 to over ], 800 bushels
to the acre. Hon, w. l!utson, in
Rice county, Minnesota, planted in
his garden five ounces Of very small
artichole roots and harvested last
fall twenty pounds and seven ounces;
this equals nearly 1000 bushels to ar
acre.
The greatest hog feed known is
artichole roots. 1t is without qucs
tion the greatest root hog fattcne1
ever discovered. 1t will pay to get
if only few roots to start with. II
will surely pay well to have piece
Of land planted with this rich, juicy
nutritious food for hogs, milch COWS
and other cattle known, and hence
are now attracting much attention
They are highly recommended fol
milk COWS, increasing the yield 0
milk and at the same time improving
their condition.
They are well adapted to any sol
upon which corn or potatoes can b.
grown. The tops, which are produced
in immense quantities, when propc r
ly cured, make excellent food TO
| horses and cattle. No farmer can d(
better than to plant piece Of groun(
to Jerusalem artichokcs.
Here is chance, too, for the boys
to plant a few roots in the garden O.
on the farm. They can sell them il
the fall for a good price to ncighbor
to rcplant in September.
Freezing and thawing does no
injurc them. Plant IS inches apar
in rows three feet apart. Plant il
May Spade or plow up the ground il
the fall, and the fine root will appca
all over the surface SO thick that TIL,
ground can hardly be seen. They ar
not only good tor cattle, but arc yer.

SHAKESPEARE INCOMPLETE.
He Had Not Foreseen the American Type
 of Human Nature.

.It is not true, remarked the learned play actor, "that Shakespeare created all kinds of characters for I do not find in his dramas any characters that bear any resemblance to the great Americans who have figured in our country's history. There is not in all of them even the shad- ow of personality like Abraham Lincoln, than whom there Is not finer themo for some future American dramatist. able to illustrate the scenes in his career, from the Kentucky log cabin to the theater h which he was assassinated. Shakespeare has no George Washington, DO Andrew Jackson, none of our heroes or sages, none of our many unique notables, and none of our wondersome women. His creations belong to many countries, but he never gives forecast of the peculiar American product which came into existence centuries after his death.
 Few of Shakespeare's characters would ever have been tolerated in this country. We could not have Falstaff among us, or Macbeth, or Lear, or Caliban, or the ghost of Hamlet's father, or Ophelia, much less any of his royal or classical characters. "We have had plenty of Americans worthy of dramatic honors fitted for the tragedy, the comedy or the historical play, totally different in their traits and deeds from the Shakespearean people, and the like of whom were never suggested or fore shadowed by Shakespeare. The oft repeat ed statement that the playwriter of Strat- ford conceived and drew all types of human nature and all varieties of human life is fiction Should man of his genius ever be born in the United States, be would find hero an abundance of material for dramas as grand as ever were written "-- New York Sun.

GRANT AS A POKER PLAYER.
He Had Nerve and Self Possession and
 Was Always Cool.


 An army officer has recently been relat- ing some "reminiscences of his to reporter, among which is the following:
 "The difficulty we all experienced in playing poker with Grant,i remarked this officer, twas his extreme reticence and wonderful impassiyeness, which none could penetrate. Ninety nine men out of hundred, under the excitement of high play, will betray- emotion to n greater or lesser extent, but Grant was sphinx that never spoke. He was always cool and self possessed even when the wine flowed too freely and VIC wore all somewhat the worse for wear No ono could measure the strength or weakness of Grants hand by any outward sign or the circumstances of his play. Apparently he was oblivious to all surroundings, but close inspection re- vealed the fact that ho watched his adver- saries narrowly and could detect q bluff with unerring certainty. He would call a man with an inconsiderable pair when it cost good round sum to 'see' the bet.
 "It was undou btedly tho outcome of military genius which enabled Grant to detect either the strength or the weakness { of his adversary at cards. We did not then comprehend that his play was strategic, a and his methods of gaming really conduct ed upon military principles. Subsequent events developed that his passion for gam ing was not hedged upon winning money nearly as much as it afforded him oppor- tunty to engage in strife and conquer. General Rufus Ingalls,, who, in 1S41, was captain and assistant quartermaster, and subsequently, attained the rank of quarter 3 master general, was one of the Pacific {, coast party which played daily with Grant, but although recognized as a past master of the game, Ihgalls was no match for the little close 1nouthed infantry captain. Ben Holiday, the pioneer mail contractor of that section, was likewise on.the poker tapis with Grant, and so were Joe Lane and Jim Nesmith both senators subse- quently from Oregon, the former the can didate for the vice presidency on the ticket with John c. Breckinridge in 1860. Ben Holiday was an inyeterate poker player, but Grant, Ingalls,, Lane, Nesmith and Holiday arc all dead, and but few are now alive of the old coterfe which gathered to- gether at the card tables of that epoch on the shores of the Pacific.
