mons Use as they Please.
A TIMES correspondent, writing
from Boise on the 10Th instant pays his
respects to the Speaker of the House
of Representatives He says;
Speaker Fouch of the Assembly, is,
in the words Of an indignant member,
''making an ass of himself" He has
been 'roped inn by, and become en-
tirely subservient to, the dictation of
a combination Of Mormons and weak
kneed Democrats, whose policy, like
that of the old Boise "ring," is to work
tooth and nail against the interest Of
the outer counties. His appointment
of committees could hardly be more
inappropriate, nor the put-up job more
obvious. For instance, on the com
mittee of "Mines and Mining Affairs"
are Wilson, Of Ada Co., Bassett, and
Gruwell, of Oneida. Mr.. Wilson, not
rcsresentlng mining county, is wholly
unfit for such committee. Bassett is
Mormon and Gruwell Mormon
Bishop. 1t is well known fact that
Mormons of every class are directly
opposed to the mining industry, and
their priesthood labor assiduously 10
discourage and prevent its advance In
every quarter they can control. Altu-
ras county should have been fairly
represented OH that committee, and
the Unjust action of this shallow
minded tool of the Mormons is Justly
condemned by every minded man.
The Capital preents lively appear
ance indeed. Besides the numerous
delegates to the Legislature, the city
is almost filled with visitors from far
and near. Many come to attend the
session of the Legislature, and to
''lobby" in the interests of their respec-
tive sections or individual schemes,
while not few come to spend the
holidays and enjoy the social advan-
tages and festivities for which Boise is
so remarkable.

Writing of the effect of food on
hesh and eggs, correspondent of. the
Toronto Globe cites the fact that these
products of fowls kept on supplies of an
unctean kind, such as swill and decayed
garbage, will in one case quickly faint

At the last annual meeting of the
National Butter and Egg Association, it
was stated that the best material for
packing eggs is clear, bright oats, and
that in holding eggs in cold storage the
temperature should be kept at thirty
eight degrees to forty degrees. The oats
can be sold after unpacking.
Prof Tracy, in an instructive pa
per on the farm and garden, urged the
removal of all beds, and the planting Of
vegetables in rows SO that horse cult
vation may be practiced; gardens then
would be less neglected. The garden
should be convenient to the barn as we'll
as to the house, so that it will be easy to
cultivate it whenever fed cultivation is
in progress. The garden should be long
and narrow, SO as to save time in culti-
walton.
Prof. Taylor, of the Agricultural
Department, announced that naphtha-

says: If seeds, grain, dormant plants,

small quantity of the naphthalne be in
troduced into the vessel, and it then be
covered, in a few hours any insect that
may infest them will be asphyxiated.

A Female Lawyer.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood, of the Wash
ington bar, seems to be no better than a
man and brother. 1t seems that a
Mrs. Fanny Kelly Gordon sued Mrs.
Belva Lockwood as joint maker with
one Elizabeth C. Clark of promissory
note for $1,000, whereupon Mrs. Lock
wood promptly pleaded, 81 am married,
and my note is void To this plea
followed divers replications and sure
buffers, which brought before Justice
Macarthur, who held the court at the
Federal capital, the fact that the note
had some relations with Mrs. Belva
Lockwood's prs ctice as a lawyer. Then
the Justice, waxing wroth, and speaking
ouawith a decision that should shame
his brother, Judge Cox, told Mrs. Lock
wood that her plea was probably good,
but that it was fraudulent one as re-
garded her standing as lawyer, and
that unless she Withdrew the plea he
would not allow her to practice as if she
were single woman. Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, according to the local jour-
nails, 'talked back' at the Judge after
the fashion of her sex, but she withdrew
her plea all the same. Justice Macarthur
is sensible man. If a woman can be
''husbandless'' enough to be practicing
lawyer, she ought to consider herself
"husbandless" whenever her profession

Exhausting the Timber Supplies.

The now well-known fact is that we
are rapidly exhausting, largely by reck-
less and improvident waste, our supplies
of timber in the Northern States. The
demand for it increases at the rate OF
thirty per cent. year, and even those
who are interested in high prices and
immediate sales of what is left of it adj
init that in twenty years or sooner build
ing timber will be extremely scarce, and
that in many parts of the country, yet
supplied in part from their own soil, it
will have entirely disappeared. 1t is
stated on good authority that more than
$4,000 establishments, employing 40O,-
900 persons, and using material to the
value of over $3.50, 100000 a year, are
engaged in the United States in manu-
featuring articles entirely from wood, in
addition to 100000 persons partly
employed on wood or using that mate
rial yearly to the value of $4,000, 1000.
No country can be or ever has been de-
spoiled of her timber and flourish

Success in Farming.

To be successful in farming one must
always be careful in selecting his seeds,
use good judgment in selecting animals,
keep his farm well cultivated and free
from weeds, keep fences in order, and
take good care of tools. He must also,
as an exchange says, be one who keeps
out of debt, and has contented mind {;
sends his children to school, and takes
one or more good papers devoted to
farm and stock interests. A farmer
who never reads is like machine that
is never oiled-it wears. He wears
himself out, exhausts his land, and dies
poor. One good suggestion found in a
paper or book is worth to men more
than half a life of trials, when not made
intelligently. Don't be afraid to read
and acknowledge that you can learn
from others. No one knows it all.
Somebody knows something you don't.
Let your aim be to acquire everything
anyone can teach you, and it will put
money in your purse, brains in your
head, and influence in your presence.

Farm Drainage.


Prime. recently read in Illinois, on The
subject Of tile drainage the advantages,
of thorough drainage as a necessary
part of efficient and profitable farming
were presented in a striking manner.
1t is the only remedy, not only for ex-
cessive water on and in the soil, but for
the GOODNESS, sourness and hardness
that cause seed to- rot without germ
mating, stunt the growth of plants and
deprive them of the full sustenance
which they need to bring them to large
size and produetiveness.. An annual
complaint with farmers in the spring is
that their lands are too wet to BE plowed;
they are soaked with water which must
be left'to run off or dry up before the
task of putting in crop can be COM
menced. This occasions delay at a sea-
son of the year when days are most val
liable; and it is particularly. disadvan-
tageous to corn, which ought to Be
planted early that it may mature before
the dry weather Of the latter part Of
summer. .#
But tile draining is expensive. This
is true; and though the very best
method of drainage that can be used, it
can be afforded only on farming lands
of the highest value. in the neighbour
hood of cities and towns. The cost OF
tiles, however, is distributed over long
series of years, for, once 1aidr9down,
they will do their duty for lifetime;
and, being covered up, they do not dis
figure the ground, since they may be
plowed over without being disturbed
This method of drainage is a necessary
part of farming in. England and Bel
GUM, andsiti said that those countries
could not yield the large crops they do
yield and support their large popula-
tions but for the important advantages
it secures. In the not-distant future,
when the level prairie lands of Illinois
and Missouri shall have largely increased
in value, every level farm will
have to be underlaid with porous
tiles to bear off the excess of
water. Underground draining will
be regarded as an indispensable feature
in agriculture, and improved health and
larger crops will be some of the fruits of
it. But, if there are comparatively few
farming regions in Missouri where I'M
derground tile-drainage can be afforded,
there are few level farms afflicted with
excess of moisture in the spring of the
