How do you see RMH changing under your leadership? My expectations for RMH are to hold people accountable for our collective goals, both in the setting of those goals and how we go about reaching them. I believe leadership starts with setting a good example for your staff to emulate while building trust and a team-based approach to problem solving. When staff feel they are heard and their opinion is valued, they identify with the organization as being an integral part of any successes or...

It’s time to select and decorate pumpkins for your Halloween display. Get family and friends involved in a trip to the pumpkin farm and consider hosting a decorating party. Whether you grew your own or plan on purchasing one at a farm or garden center, select pumpkins free of holes, cuts and soft spots for decorating. Damaged fruit tends to rot faster, ruining your fall display. And always carry the fruit cradled in your arms not by the stem. Once the stem breaks away from the fruit, the pumpkin is more susceptible to rot and its beauty fades....
In this subseries of articles we shall depart a little from our usual format of spotlighting a particular ranch, farm, or enterprise and take up, rather, an aspect of Montana's history. One class of institutions persistently ran through the interviews and old photos that contributed to many of these paintings and brief histories. What would you guess it was? Oops! Darned if we didn't give away the answer in the title above. Yes, of course, schools, and small wonder that. In the normal course of...
John Butterfield, won a government contract beginning in 1857 to deliver mail to San Francisco, California from Tipton, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee within 25 days, which was the beginning of the Butterfield Overland Stage Company. (Lately, when a letter we mailed to Helena arrived there one week later, we decided Mr. Butterfield was considerably ahead of his time.) The two-way, semi-weekly route covered 2800 miles with 139 change stations and a water stop every 30 miles. The engines were...
Raking fall leaves can seem like a chore and a never-ending one, at that. Reduce time and effort spent managing fall leaves by putting this valuable resource to work in your landscape. Use your mower to recycle leaves right where they fall. As you mow the grass, you’ll shred the leaves into smaller pieces. If they are the size of a quarter or smaller, your lawn will be fine. As these leaf pieces decompose, they add organic matter and nutrients to the soil. Another option is to attach a bagger to shred and collect the leaves with every pass o...
In 1908 the Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad laid track and began service to Roundup and beyond. About 17 miles east of Roundup the company bridged the Musselshell River and contracted with the Globe Elevator Company of Lewistown to construct an elevator for neighboring ranchers to store their grain for shipment on the line. Thus, started Delphia, so that steam engines could have water and load up with grain, and one wonders if passengers may have worried about going back East when...
There’s no doubt that managing critters in the landscape can be a challenge especially as food supplies start to dwindle. If you are battling with rabbits, deer, groundhogs or other wildlife, don't let down your guard as the growing season begins to wind down. Be proactive. Start before they get into the habit of dining on your landscape. It is easier to keep them away than break the dining habit. Fence them out. Fencing is the best defense against most wildlife. A four feet tall fence around a small garden will keep out rabbits. Secure the bot...

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR (4!) ranches this week, all in the vicinity of Cohagen, MT. Quiz Question 1: Where is Cohagen? All true Montanans should know. Answer: Southeast of Jordan on Highway 59 and near Little Dry Creek, a queer name for a body of water. Quiz Question 2: How did Cohagen get its name?

A little east of the Grass Range area is perhaps the most variously owned and used land and buildings in our entire series. Long before homesteads, in the 1880s, when stops were about 15 miles apart, the distance covered in one day, it was a stagecoach stop on the Ft. Benton – Billings line. Coaches carried passengers, gold-mining equipment, and supplies for places like Gilt Edge, Flat Willow, and Musselshell. In the picture, "The Stage Station," the foreground building was the hotel, with s...

Fall poses a few different things to remember while we are out and about. Throughout Montana, several different hunting s...

Tucker Homestead There is little pictorial evidence to display this week, because traces of the two homesteads have all but vanished, but the stories are interesting and enlightening, and we feel close to them, because we are physically near them; both intersected our little corner of Musselshell County. From Ohio, William Tucker was awarded his first homestead in South Dakota, but when minerals were discovered on it, the government promptly reneged, confiscated it, and sent the Tuckers packing....

Short or tall, big or small, ornamental alliums are a treat for flower gardeners and for butterflies, bees and other pollinators. Plant the bulbs in fall and enjoy months of colorful spring and summer blooms – this year, and for years to come. Just like their relatives, onions and chives, ornamental alliums are easy to grow and trouble free. Pest, diseases and even deer don’t bother them. Most types are reliably perennial and winter hardy in zones three to eight. Alliums prefer well-drained soil and full sun, though they will also grow in parti...

Publisher Note: Due to an editorial oversight, the Beckman Ranch story is being rerun in its entirety. Not all our early ranchers were homesteaders. Born in Minnesota, Albert Beckman came to Roundup to work as a carpenter, found all the homestead land claimed, and bought a section from the Northern Pacific Railroad for $9.00 per acre. In 1917, when he was 30, he married Cora Strike, 18, who lived around Devil's Lake. For a couple of years, they camped in a tent, until Albert hauled lumber 100...
