In some experiments which were
made in feeding straw it was found
that when linseed meal was being fed
they had better results with the straw
than with hay. The linseed meal pack
ed too closely and was but imperfectly
digested. When cornmeal was given,
better results We're obtained from feed
ing hay than from the straw. Yet the
value of straw as a cattle food when
cut early is so well established that
it is now thought too valuable to be
used rs bedding in stables or yards,
until the cattle have picked out the
best of it, and they reject only that
which is overripe.

MONTANA FIRST IN UNION.
Per Capita Valuation More Than One
Thousand Dollars.


If the property in Montana were d.
vided equally, there would be more
than $1,000 for every man, woman
and child in the state. This is very
high per capita valuation, most of
the states showing but few dollars
for each person. In this respect Mon
tana is one of the first states in the
union, if not the rst
This per capita valuation is exclu-
sive of the property owned by the
railroads, which, of course, really be
longs principally to residents of other
states. 1t does represent the mines,
stock, real and personal property
which belongs to large extent to
residents of the state.
To verify the per capita valuation
it is not necessary to calculate long.
According to the reports of county
assessors received by j. J. Ryan,
clerk Of the state board of equaliza-
ton, the assessed valuation is more
than $152,00000O. This alone gives
a large per capita valuation, larger
than most states.
1t is generally figured however, that
the assessed valuation is about so per
cent of the real value. In most of
the states it is not so great, but the
rating is higher in Montana. On this
basis the actual value is more than
$4,000 900. Placing the population
of the state at 100000, this gives the
property for each person as more
than $1,000 Figures received from
the assessors by Mr.. Ryan show some
difference of opinion among the as
sesors. Silver Bows franchises are
reported at but two-thirds of the
value of Lewis and Clarke, although
the population is far greater. Stocks
of merchants there are placed at but
little more than those in Lewis and
Clarke county.
In solvent creditors, Silver Bow
county leads, with Lewis and Clarke
county second. Missoula county gives
the largest valuation for lumber and
wood, with Ravalli second The vari.
GUS counties also report considerable
difference in the valuation placed
upon certain classes of stock, espe.
cially thoroughbred horses. These
conditions the state board of equali
cation cannot legally remedy.

WILL ERECT
A MONUMENT
A Generous Bozeman Citizen Will
Mark Grave of Henry comstock.
GRAVE UNMARKED FOR 80 YEARS
Tragic End of the Man Who DiscoV-
cred the Comstock Lode That Made
Mackay and Many Others of Me-
vada and California Wealthy.

For az years the BODY OF Henry
Comstock, the man who discovered
the famous mine in Virginia City,
Nevada, bearing his name, which
made others wealthy, has occupied
an unmarked grave in the Bozeman
cemetery. Justice is at last to be
paid to his memory by the erection
over his resting place of a tombstone
giving his name and age. A literally
disposed citizen has taken the mat
ter in hand and will see that the fam
Gus miners grave is properly
marked.
By strange coincidence, John w.
| Mackay, who owed the beginning of
his great fortune to the miner whose
bones have been rotting in a Boze-
man cemetery, died last Sunday in
London, just about the time that P.
| j. Francis of Bohemian decided to
erect monument over Comstock's
grave. The press of the world printed
columns about Mackay told of his
rise from nothing to aff1uence, of his
large business interests in two hemi-
spheres, Of his generous traits and
of his sterling Americanism and man
hood; but there was not line about
Henry Comstock the man who found
the mine that gave Mackay his start.
The busy world gave no thought to

grave in Montana who made Mr..
Mackay a possibility. His grave

world cared. The deeds and achieve
ments of the dead millionaire far
outshone the simple, homely tale of
the life of the miner who died pau
per, for Comstock was not possessed
of a cent when he took his own life
in September, 1870.
Il Mr.. Francis intentions to place a
stone above the grave of Comstock
became known in Helena today, when
Librarian Howey of the State Histor-
ical Society received a letter from
the Bozeman man asking for Com
stocks first name. Strange as it
may seem, Mr.. Francis wrote that
diligent inquiry on his part among
the old timers of Bozeman failed to
disclose the full name of the dead
miner. Many of them remembered
J mat his name was Comstock, that
he discovered the Virginia City ledge
ofa rich ore, that he killed himself
near Bozeman and that he occupied a
) pauper's grave. No one seemed to
know exactly which unmarked grave
! in the cemetery he occupied. Mr.
Francis wrote that he had succeeded
in finding the grave and desired to

delighted to learn of the new Balloon
Cure recommended by the faculty at

place the sick party on his couch in a
new family balloon costing say $4,000
and. with a good. tried aeronaut in
charge. TO rise to an altitude Of 10000
feet. Here the aeronaut drags his
foot yer the side and stops the bal
lonn and the invalid takes the air, Of
which there is plenty in the vicinity
that is quite rare the well-done air of
the lower attitudes not being recon-
mended. Every sick person should
be provided with a parachute, so that
in case of too great disturbance in
the upper air currents it will be pos
Sible for the invalid to unlock his par
achute and drop gracefully down again
TO his sick chamber. To take this cure
good sturdy invalids are required, and
il might be well for the consumptiye
o take a curse at the gymnasium on
the flying rings as a preparation for
the strenuous balloon cure. At pres
ent. however, the matter is all I'D in

tioD it might be well to have the %
