A Yankee Achievement.
Among thoso exhibiting at tho Terri
torial Fair this year is Jumos H. John
son, a farmer of tho Prickly Pe-nr Vnl
Icy, whoso ranch lios several miles north
of Helena.
Ho has a splendid collection of grain
nnd vegetabloi anions tlio latter n
&qunsh of nearly forty pounds in weight,
which has a history too remarkable to
pass unrecorded.
It is of the California mnmmoth va
riety, and considerably tho smallest
"bulb" of heverai of tho muio kind
shown in tho samo collection.
Somo six or seven weeks ago when
littlo moro than ten pounds weight
this was accidentally sorcred from its
vino by tho tread of a farm cmployco
Mr. Johnson deplored thu accident, tho
vcgetablo being n favorite and tho first
to set from tho blossom, nnd ho ontcr
tuinoil great expectations of it.
Tlio hired man seeing his dislrcsi,
suggested tho squash bo taken nnd
rniscd by hand.
"I will grow and maturo it if vou
will furnish tho milk," was tliu response.
"Uo ahead and do it," said Johnson,
who smiled grimly, thinking tlio Yan
kee hired man was disposed to play 11
"jo.h" on him.
Tho "orphan Tege table" with thu
stem and a fow inches of tho vino Mt
intact, was taken to tho house and de
posited in a garret room, where it could
get a Btinbnth part of each day. The
Btcni was wound with nevcml layers of
cotton cloth, nud this wns submerged in
a dish of new milk morning nud even
ing. Tho Hunnh fed hungrily on thu
lacteal fluid. On tho Htert it absorbed n
pint af milk in n Tow houry. Thin was
presently increased to a quart, nud
twice a day it was thus rationed to thu
first day of tho fair, on Monday l.n-d.
It tin ivctl wonderfully on its novel
biiii'.'ing up, nnd neighboia who dropped
in from timo to timo to suu it i-xprrhsed
their surprise and astonishment nt this
Miigulur 1110.I0 of vegetahli! pioductioii.
Thoy watched it nui-sa nnd could
easily detect tlio healthy appetito dniin
ing tho nutritious diiiik. Everyone;
gave thu i.qttasli repeated ahukcx, nnd
pivHied their investigations to learn
whether tlietv wiuiany internal orMouud
of nil tho mil!, which thut vegulnblo hid
consumed.
Tliu pquash prospeied amazingly, ov
jumled contiiiunlly, nud when taken
nwny for oxhibition weighed within a
million of forty poutuln. Thcio weiti
many at the fair whoso curiosity wus
greatly excited about thiH pquash, mid
Mr. Johnson promised to cut tho vege
table in the presence of witnesses, und
exhibit to thorn its "tiuo inwunlncFs."
Thin wan ilono this morning before
a largo concourse of pooplo, nnd tho
amazement of the inultitudo may Im
pictured but not described, when it wns
opened to their wondciing oyes.
Divided carefully in tho middle, tho
top half w.is remowd, disclosing 11 globe
01 uciuiiiui, gjuiun-iiuca nu.tcr, with
plump filled seed peejiing out fioni nil
tides of thn luscious-looking bull.
Its weight win oitiinatcd by ninny of
