few granite blocks and the railroad
arch bridge that spanned the factory
river and the highway leading up to

The country is generally well
supplied with water many creeks
and innumerable springs are found
almost everywhere, in few places is
it necessary to sink wells more
than 80 feet. The quality Of the
water is universally good.
The original fencing on the
Prairie WAS the ordinary rail fence.
In later years barbed wire has be-
come general. A very good fence is
now common, consisting of two
6 or inch boards at bottom and
three wires above, red frs or cedar
posts every feet, making strong,
lasting, and hog tight fence,
against which no snow ever drifts.
Fence posts are plentiful and are
delivered on the farms in this part
OF the prairie for cents each.
Shelter sheds for cattle and hay,
are cheaply built of posts and
rough lumber and are q very good
investment in this climate, especi.
ally for hay, as the wet weather
every winter spells many times the
amount of hay necessary to con
struct shelter. The improved con
dition of cattle especially young
cattle, that have had an open shec
to run in during winter is very
noticeable each year, when spring
comes.
What this district of the north
west requires to make it land o

been good; on the newly broken up
and well-formed land, this is a
most satisfactory crop and is
graded up to the top price in the
Chicago market.
Are grown to limited extent, and
financially a good crop of beans is
a great success; the home market
is always open, large quantities are
imported for the mountain trade
the high price of labor is detri-
mental to the growth of such crops,
as beans in order to produce a good
crop must be cultivated and abso-
lutely kept free from weeds.
GRASSES.
Bunch grass still fourishes on
the stock ranges on Salmon river
and Clearwater districts, but is
practically extinct ON the Prairie,
it's place being taken by timo-
thy, which is everywhere, and on
cultivated lands is persistent
weed. The writer has cut two
tons timothy hay per acre where
none was ever sown. A few loads
of hay fed to cattle in the winter
time is all that is necessary to es.
tablish a timothy ranch. The hay

fits ensure grain being put safely
away in good time, and usually be-
fore any rain falls. Steam thresh-
ers with cook wagon attached
make threshing luxury on the
farms compared to what it was
especially for the womenkind.
The Clearwater valley railway
reaching within Is miles Of Grange
vile does not open up more than
lilo. part Of the country, being of
no use for growers except on the
edge of the Prairie and reservation
country. Present prices forbid
wheat being hauled any great
distance; with the advent Of the
railway on the Prairie develop
ment will be very rapid.
The average yield of wheat as re-
ceived from the threshing machine
proprietors is about 81 bushels per
acre. The method of harvesting is
about equally divided between
heading and binding.
BARLEY.

rowed, awnless, and bald. The
awnless is most largely grown and
yields very large crops. In this
district it produces a large amount
Of grain for a small amount OF
