Meagher aroused hostility as we'll as

Secretary of War Stanton refused
him permission to go to New York
from the battlefield to recruit his
Irish brigade to it's original strength
but Lincoln reappointed him major
general with new command. Short

three tons. This year the season was
rather cold and the yield was about
three tons again. IN dry land tests
the yield has averaged half ton or
a ton and a half per acre of cured
hay.
1--WE were a little disappointed in
it's low yield on dry land. It is an
annual, that is, will have to be plant
ed every year and unless it would
yield more than the tests so far con-
Quoted would show it is probably not
going to help the dry farmers so
much.
"The experiment station here is
working to find the best systems of
crop rotations and the best crops
which might be grown under the
permanent agriculture which is sure
to develop here in Montana. The
present system of raising grain chief
ly is temporary and the reduction in
yield and the increase in weeds which
is sure to follow will for farmers
onto some other basis. This new
basis will include considerable live

by dissension. To fight the Indians
he recruited a body of militia that
has as large a proportion of majors,
colonies and generals as one of VII
las commands. He defied the feder-
al judges and demanded that they re-
sign and get out of his way. He
aroused the hostility OF the vigil
antes and on the night of July J.,
1867, suffered a death in the waters
of the Missouri that was generally
understood to be accidental or sui
cidal. The river never gave up the
body it had coffined. It was less
than four years ago, however, that
a man in Jail at Plains, Montana,
made confession, later retarcted,
that he had killed General Meagher
at the instance of the vigilantes.
Speech Won Him Name of
''Meagher of the Sword.'
When Meagher came to Montana
he was famous throughout the world
as an orator of impassioned force
and power. When Dan O'Connell's
son introduced the ''pease resolu-
tions'' that denounced armed rebel
lion against England, Meagher broke
forth in burst of eloquence that
won him the name of "Meagher of
the Sword"

we used grain and corn alternately
has proven to be several times as
profitable as the rotation definitely
to find the proper kind of crops and
the proper cropping arrangements
for Montana farms. Intertilled
crops and livestock are fundamental
to any permanent agriculture and the
station is working to secure this con-
dition."
Grows North of Glasgow
The experiments to be made
throughout the northern part of the
state were first proposed in cores
pondence between Mr.. Leedy and A.
]. Breitenstein, secretary OF the
Great Falls Chamber of Commerce,
who communicated the results OF
Professor Atkinson's experiments to
the Great Northern official, who had
previously noted the luxuriance OF
Sudan grass grown north of Glasgow
Montana.
In writing to Mr.. Breitenstein, Mr.
Leedy said:
"While do not know very much
about Sudan grass, I understand tha'
this grass is very nutritious and thai
stock like it very much. It belongs
to the sugar cane family, and while
not so coarse yet the stalks are pith!
and inclined to be sweet. The ha,
is very nutritious and it also makes
an excellent pasture. think thi

tie per acre through the season. This,
of course, is quite high and would
make it profitable for man to use
his high priced irrigated land this
way. For the higher valleys it is diff
ficult to find cultivated crop, that
is crop that can be cultivated dur

Sunflowers for Silo.
"Corn does not do very we'll
and we are trying a wide range of
other things. We are having very
good success in raising sunflowers
and putting these into silo. They

the Montana Post, the first newspa-
per in the territory, criticised the
conduct of General Meagher, the
acting governor challenged the edi-
tor to a duel. Blake, who was a
comrade of Meagher in the army of
the Potomac, ignored the challenge
and he was soon forgiven. In May,
1867, Blake was appointed colonel
and assistant adjutant general by
Thomas Francis Meagher, acting
governor, commander-in-chief."
Meagher lost his life just as he
was undertaking a campaign against
the Indians. For the few score mill
tiamen he had appointed full mill
tary staff, sufficient for an army of
10000. In place of revoking the
order, Governor Green Clay Smith
appointed staff of his own, leaving
General Meagher's staff to exist as
complimentary" officers, to be
called into service only in case OF
need.

The Montana climate has scored
another triumph. This land, once
popularity supposed to be the favor
tie abode of the bleak blizzard, after
establishing a fame as a corn coun-
try, has grown to height of six
feet, in initial experiments at Glas-
gov and Bozeman, Sudan grass, ORR
ginally an importation from tropical
Africa. This is expected to be a val
liable forage crop, especially for the
farmer on irrigated land. Final de-
termination as to it's practical value
is expected to be made next fall as a
result of experiments to be made the
coming year by the Great Northern
railroad in cooperation with COM
mercial clubs of the northern part of
the state. E. G. Leedy, general i'm
migration agent of the road, who is
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
new crop, is making arrangements
to distribute several hundred pounds
of seed to the farmers of northern
Montana.
Sudan grass is now grown extern
sively in Texas and Oklahoma where
it is used as hay and pasture for all
kinds of stock, but as for its becom-
ing valuable crop in Montana or
any other northern land-why even
the experts declared that was out OF
the question. "Better leave
Sudan grass alone in Montana" COM
mented Professor thomas Shaw, the
noted agronomist, when he was ques-
toned two or three years ago as to
the practicability of the crop. Other
experts concurred with him and even
Alfred Atkinson, agronomist at the
experiment station at Bozeman, who
has been experimenting with the
crop for the last three years, is much
surprised at his success.
Experts Are Surprised.

From the earliest fur trading days
Montana has lured to her mountains
and prairies men whose names loom
large on the scroll of history, but
none of her adopted sons had a more
brilliant career than that composite
of genius and eccentricity, General
Thomas Francis Meagher, who allied
himself with the fight for freedom
under three flags.
An orator at the age Of 20; a
leader in the Young Ireland party,
but one of those execrated by many
Irishmen as having by their tactics
driven the Liberator-Daniel O'Con-
nell-to his grave; envoy Of the
Irish extremists to the French revolt
utionists of '48; bearer of the tri-
color to Ireland; condemned to
death. reprieved, sentenced to exile
for life in the penal colony in Van
Dieman's land; free through viola
ton of his parole and a fugitive to
America; creator and later COM
mander of the Irish brigade that was
nearly exterminated in the battles
for the preservation Of the union and
the freedom of the slave-these had
been the milestones in his course
when President Johnson appointed
him secretary of the territory o.
Montana.
