Il am just returning home from Bill

OF Chinook, to the Butte Miner. 81
was formerly a resident Of that part
OF the state, being engaged in the
sheep business on Swimming Woman
creek in Fergus county and marketed
my wool in Billings. I closed out my
interests there, however, about ten
years ago and since that time have
been engaged in the sheep business
in Chinook valley. At a recent meeting
OF the sheepmen of the Chinook and
Milk river valleys they decided to have
a committee visit the Yellowstone
country and inspect the feeding meth

myself were appointed to visit the

serve the results of thorough irriga-
ton in the raising of alfalfa, and Sc
cure any points hat we might be able
to pick up for the information and
instruction of the sheepmen and
ranchers of our section of the state.
Mr.. Lehman visited Billings about a
month ago, but being unable to get
away at that time, my visit has been
postponed until last week.
"After looking over all the feeding
conditions of the Yellowstone valley
l think the farmers and sheepmen of
the Chinook and Milk river valleys
are fully as well situated, as far as
natural advantages are concerned, to
go into the alfalfa raising and sheep
feeding business as those of the first
named section, or, in fact, any section
of the state. Of the numerous ranches
visited in the valley west of Billings
| like the system of feeding that is
pursued by John Miller. He is feed
ing 5000 head of sheep for William
Rea, the large sheep buyer from st. |
Paul. He uses racks in feeding al |
falfa and there is absolutely no waste,
the sheep being unable to pull the hay
out under their feet and trample on it.
At many of the ranches the hay is
being fed on the ground or from
troughs and poorly constructed racks
and there is considerable waste where
this method of feeding is in vogue. In
the case of the trough method of feed
ing there is fully as much feed tram
pied under foot and wasted as there
is where it is fed on the ground.
"The ranchmen of that valley have
the best system of irrigation I have
seen, and I believe we will have
fully as good a system in our valleys
in a few years. When we do get this
we will have as productive and fertile
country as is the garden spot of
eastern Montana today. There are
one or two sheepmen in the Chinook
valley who raised alfalfa the past sea-
son and are now experimenting with
feeding it to sheep and l am confident
that they will be fully as successful as
are those Yellowstone people,"

MILLIoN-DoLLAR MINE FREE.
The Profitable Deal That Was Made
by a PenniIess Prospeetor
in Montana.

The case of c. W. Sherwood illus

ing. Sherwood had an option OF bond
on the Kearsarge mine, in Madison
county, Mont, for S100,OG0 which ex'
pires next June. He also held lease
o. the mine, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. He didn't strike much of value
in the Kearsarge, and, having in sight
another prospect which he considered
just as good, and which he preferred 70
work, he sold his bond and lease Of the
Kearsarge for $3.50. The buyer spent
$1,000 on the mine and got nothing out
OF it, and he turned the property oyel
to c. a. Damours. who was without q
dollar. Damours is geologist, and had
been prospecting in Madison county for
years. He took the mine on the agree.
ment that if he struck anything he
would pay the man from whom he got
it the $1,000 which that man had ex

the bond and lease.

ing he struck rich ore, and now he has
money enough in the bank to TAXI

Damours thinks the mine is worth
Sl,000,000, and even the most eonserya.
tive estimate here places its value at
S250,000. All this Damours will pos.

Sherwood will get the $3.50 for which
he sold the bond and lease, and which
the first buyer did not pay, and that

AS WE GROW OLD.

As we grow old-as all must do
And life takes on a sweeter hue.
Things long forgotten come to cheer
The burden of each passing year.
And as they one by one unfold,
Give recompense for growing old
Our happy childhood days OF yore
Unlock themselves from memory's store,
And once again we know the joys
We had when little girls or boys,
Without the after sorrows rolled,
But put away when We grow old.
Again as merry tots we play
And In the daisy meadows stray.
And bake our mud pies in the sun,
And home from school delighted run;
Again the fairy tales are told
We ali grow young when we grow old.
Kneeling before our cribs we see

Bestows her goodnight kiss 10 hold
More sacred still when we grow old.
Again we're in our chlldhood's home,
Without a wish TO ever roam:
The dear old pictures and the clock,
The chair in which we loved to rock
While mother held us we behold
With eager eyes when we grow old.
Once more we hear the birds that sung
Around our door when we We're young
And see the garden, yes, and smell
Its flowers. AT the dear old wei
We quar- its q stal water cold
With added thirst when We grow old
Once more up in our high chair seat
We feast on mush and milk so sweet,
And taste the cookies mother made.
Again. by her dear hands arrayed,
We march 10 Sunday school inscribed
Upon our hearts when we grow old.
As we grow old-as all must do
our childhood pleasures We review,
And in those happy days we seem
To live again an in a dream
But It's a dream most sweet to hold
When we grow young BY growing old.
