rather cold and the yield was about
three tons again. IN dry land tests
the yield has averaged half a ton or
a ton and a half per acre Of cured
hay.
I'VE were a little disappointed in
it's low yield on dry land. 1t is an
annual, that is, will have to be plant

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 o. forgiven. In May,
1867, Blake was appointed colonel

Meagher lost his life just as he
was undertaking a campaign against
the Indians. For the few score mill
tiamen he had appointed a full mill
tary staff, sufficient for an army of
10000. In place of revoking the
order, Governor Green Clay Smith
appointed a staff Of his own, leaving
General Meagher's staff to exist as

called into service only in case of
need.

The Montana climate has scored
another triumph. This land, once
popularity supposed TO be the favor
lite abode of the bleak blizzard, after
establishing a fame as a cor coun-
try, has grown to a 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 its 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 it's becom-
ing a 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.
