OPPOSITION TO INGRAM.

It is reported from Helena that the
redoubtable and pugnacious sena
tor from Flathead is fighting hard
against the confirmation by the SEN
ate of Mr.. Ingram's appointment by
the governor as a member of the
board of managers of the Soldiers
home. Why is this?
Do Geiger and his friends believe
That democrats should be denied adj
mission to the home and to the board
of managers? Is there politics be-
hind Geiger's fight on Ingram?
Most of the people believe that the
management of the Soldiers Home
should be absolutely non-political,
and that the members of the board of
managers should not use their influ-
ence ana endeavors to PIE up large
partisan vote from the home.
Geiger's only reason for fighting
Ingram is that Ingram is democrat
Democrats should be as eligible as
republicans for admission to the home
and for a voice in it's management,
and all fair-minded men will protest
against partisanship governing in =,
such matters.
Mr.. Ingram is a veteran of !,
Spanish-American war, aid as the
veterans of that war are eligible for
admission to the home it IS only fit
ting and proper that they should be
represented in the management.
Mr.. Ingram having served in the
army of the United States, is quail
fed under the law for membership in
.ne board of managers, and it is to
be hoped that the senate will not be
party to the efforts of Geiger, ct
al to make the control of the Soldiers
Home matter of political consid-
Grafton.
But even if the senate should CO.
incide with Geiger's view of the mat
ter and refuse to confirm Mr.. Ingram
,Ae governor may reappoint him af-
ter the legislative assembly adjourns.

1t is learned from reliable source
that it takes in companies owning
seventy-eight blast furnaces, 149
steel works, and six finishing plants.
This includes bar mills, structural
steel and plate mills, tin plate works,
sheet mills and wire rod and nail
mills. The annual capacity in fin
ished material is about nine million
tons. The company owns Lake Su-
periOr iron mines. which produced
last year nearly eleven million tons
OF ore. 1t has $1,000 coke ovens,
1U,S30 acres of coal lands and about
10000 acres of surface lands in the
coal region. It's lake fleet will mum
Der sixtysix vessels. When the
Rockefeller ore and vessel interests
are absorbed, which, it IS said will
probably be done later, the iron ore
capacity will be increased about two
million tons year, and the number
of lake vessels by sixty-nine, making
125 ore carriers in ALL A conserva-
tive estimate of the number of men
employed by the company's various
interests puts it at $4,000. The
capacity of the conso, .dation's IS
blast furnaces is upwards of six
million, five hundred thousand tons
of pig iron year, or half of the pig
iron output of the United States
in 1890.

THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE.

The action of the city council last
night in appointing committee to
cooperate with the local board of
trade to make an effort to induce the
Great Northern to build the branch
to the boundary, is move in the
right direction. The proposition is
important enough to merit close at
tention. 1t is intimated that the
route from Kalispell has never been
properly investigated; that the adj
verse report thereon was not based
upon reliable data. The purpose of
the councils committee will be to
see that proper investigation is
made, and if the company's engin.
GERS pronounce favorably on
the route, to make an effort to Sc
cure the right-of-way at fair figure.
If the proposed Kalispell route is
impracticagle or the right-of-way can
not be had at fair figures, these
things have yet to be demonstrated
1t would be a grievous mistake if
the business interests of Kalispell
allowed the road to be lost to this
CITY through any Indifference. Let
the facts be properly and honestly
presented to the railway company
then, If they cannot see their way
clear to follow the route from. this
city to the boundary. Kalispell will
have at least the satisfaction of
knowing that the matter was not al
lowed to 60 by default.

GAMBETTA'S
VISIT TO
BISMARCK

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-Among the i'm
teresting letters in the new volumes OF
Prince Bisnarck's correspondence, says
dispatch from Berlin, are those ex-
changed by the Chancellor and Count
Henckel Won Donnersmarck ia regard
to the proposed visit of Gambetta to
Bismarck.
Bismarck protested against lhe sug ested
visit saying that It was important in the
interest OF peace that Gambetta's inhu-
ence should be preserved and it would
be injured by dealing with himself (Bis-
marck).
Count Won Donnersmarck still urging
he advsability Of the visit, Bsmsrk re .
peated his former objections, adding
that the Emperor would be frightened
by closer relations between his Chancel-
lor and Gambetta.
After all, the visit was arranged but
at the last moment Gambetta excused
himself because OF the pressure OF Par
liamentary business. in one letter
Bismarck said that an ultramontane gov
eminent under one of the French pre-.
tenders would have made on Germany
whenever the JCsuits gave the word.

her mention is always given to Armenia
itself and the position Of the Armenian
district which gave Russia control Of the
Euphrates.

there are forests to be- reclaimed and

AS to cutting or feeding the after

York state says:
Moving Is worse than grazing.
However, It is possible to have too
much Of a good thing. There may be
such heavy aftergrowth that 1t is In
the way. Sometimes a too heavy after
growth will cause n field to be smoth-
cred by the Ice In winter. The grass
under the heavy mating or aftermath
keeps alive all winter and requires
some air. If there is n coating Of fee

extent by suffocation. Usually, how

averaged 500 gallons I'm one year Mr.
Tlsdall also told him that the system
Of feeding was practically the same all
the time.
The selection Of the sire TO mate with
the cows Kept was also point of frsr
importance. This was specially so be-
cause OF the fact that the bull would
regulate not the MIX of one COW only,
but would influence for good or bad
that OF every animal bred from him.
IL was therefore most important that
every stock hull Kept for service In a
dairy nPrd should be out OF the very
best milking COW procuHhle.
Their attention should also be direct
ed TO keeping COWS only whose milk
contained q high percentage OF butter
fat. They shoMd not delude them
selves with tie lloa tlmt II they had
cows giving plenty OF milk all that
they required TO do to get plenty of
butter fat was 20 feed them WELL BY
all means feed them well; but they
might rest assured that no amount OF
feeding would raise the percentage OF
fat In the milk OF COW which was
naturally low 90 equal the milk Of a
COW whose produce was naturally rich.
Two cows could quite ensily produce
the same quantity Of milk IN the year,
yet when that mix was turned into
butter the one COW might have produc-
ed 100 pounds more butter than the
other. That was not all, for the COW
which had the 100 extra pounds OF
butter had not probably cost any more
TO keep than the other. When the COW
came TO within a fortnight OF calylng
she should be brought into the house
and kept there till she calyed, This
was particularly necessary II food was
abundant, and especially so after mid
summer and during early autumn.
After being brought into the house
the cow should receive two or three
mashes OF bran and treacle daily, with
little hay and what water she cared
70 drink. After the COW calyed she
should not be MIXED completely dry
for several days A little milk could
be taken away as often as one liked,
but only just little TO relieve the nd.

Feeding EnsiIaRe,
One can begin 70 feed sllage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases. or the material may be left un-

er's Gazette. The silo should be ar
ranged to have such diameter that
from an inch and half TO two inches
Of sllage will be fed Off the top each
day. If less than this amount is fed
off, trouble may arise from the ex-
posed sllage starting to heat and mold.
If so much as an inch and n half or
two inches is fed Off daily, then the
silage material at the surface is always
fresh and in good condition.

tween these, about three inches to one
side of the middle, is bolted another
piece which extends down TO the base
Opposite the middle from this is =
stanchion. II Is mortised loosely at the
bottom and should work easily between
the two boards at the top and should
be so placed that when upright 1t will
allow n six inch space. A few holes are
bored through the boards at the top to
ft the animals neck.
ON each side of the rack, about four
feet high, is n cross tie. To these and
to the crosspieces I'm the middle be-
low are nailed boards, making a kind
Of fence. Between the two sets OF
boards at the bottom a three inch
board Is laid for a floor. This rests
behind on the frame and in front on
board bolted to the frame, which could
not be shown I'm the drawing. Near the
bottom of the stanchion and In front is
fastened an eyebolt to which ten foot
rope is tied About foot from the eye
bolt hook Is driven, and the device Is
complete. The animal is led into the
rack from behind and the stanchion
closed by putting a pin through one of
the holes at the top behind IT, The rope
is then put over its neck or once
around It and. after drawing down
tight, is wrapped around the look.
An enterprislng farmer may pay the
cost of making his rack by doing work
for his nelghbors. The customary
charge Is 10 cents per head In consider

on one side of this frame is fastened n
roller two feet long, as shown i'm the

with the top OF the frame. To load the
rack turn 1t up on end and drive the
wagon near It, when II may be rolled

the government may be compelled
to make further disclosures which will
cause revulsion Of feeling against the
