THAT APPORTIONMENT.

The more the apportionment of
delegates made by the Democratic
County Central Committee last Thurs
day is looked into, the greater be-
comes the sense Of the foul injustice
done by that committee. The pur-
pose Of che committee was to practi-
cally disfranchise the Democrats of
Wood River; that is evident. And
that the ultimate object of this dis
reimbursement was to continue the
present clique of county officials Ill
Office, is equally patent. But the
committee had evidently not reckoned
on the exposure of their little game.
Il they had, they would have been
more careful, and have at least made
pretense Of fair play, by appropria-
ting few more delegates to the
thickly-settled precincts. As the APP
portionment stands less than one fifth
of the Democratic voters Of Alturas
county will elect over two.thirds of
the delegates to the convention.
Cold Springs, with u votes, got 2
delegates; Indian creek, II votes, 2
delegates; Sawtooth, 10 votes, 2 del
egates; Broadford, IL votes, 2 dele
gates; Canyon creek, II votes, dele
gates; Lost River, Is votes, 2 dele
gates; Galena, 90 votes,3 delegates;
Malad, 16 votes, 2 delegates; Big
C2mas, 10 votes, 2 delegates; and
Ethel's, IA votes, 2 delegates. Thus
152 voters are apportioned 81 dele
gates-or at the rate of one delegate
to every seven voters. And these are
It precincts which have lost vot ers
steadily during the past two years.
On the same basis of one delegate
for every seven voters, the Wood
River towns of Haley, Bellevue,
Ketchum, Bullion, Sawtooth, Galena,
and Vienna would be entitled to owe,
$50 delegates.
This can be easily demonstrated
HALEY, for instance, with 400 Demo
cratic voters, should get 81 delegates
Ketchum, with 800, AZ delegates
Bullion, with 200, 20 delegates; Saw
tooth, with 800, AZ delegates; Vienna.
With $50, Ga delegates; and Galena
! with $50, 81 delegates.
Nor is this all. Precincts like Dee,
and Warm Springs, where more
Greek uployed than at Bullion, are

The Trough and the Breed.


Philadelphia Record.
1t should be considered that every.
thing that is derived from an animal
must come from the trough, which
means that one must feed we'll but
the trough cannot compensate for
absence of good breeding. In the
dairy we sometimes find two or three
cows that produce far above the
average but with the thoroughbreds,
such as the Ayrshires and Holsteins,
it is not uncommon to find whole
herds fully up to the standard. But
ter-makers well know that the Jerseys
and Guernseys can be relied on for
butter of good quality, color and
quantity whenever the rack or trough
is full, but no amount of feeding can
produce such result from q herd of
common COWS. The trough does it's
work well, and that is admitted, but
there is reliance TO be placed on
breeds which meets with few disap-
pointments, and the dairyman who
does not place as much dependence
on the breed as on the trough is far
away back in the past, and will be
compelled to realize such necessity if
he wishes TO be successful. The
Berkshire hog uniformly gives pork
Of certain quality, and the trough
is the agent; but it is the breed and
its characteristic tendencies that
streak the fat with lean and round
the hams to fulness. The trough
cannot put q merino fleece on q Cots
void or give the former larg car
cass, but it can fulfill the work de-
signed and increase the size and
quicken the growth. How important is
it, then, to improve with the best that
can be procured. If the breed is to
be relied on we should select the best
of the breed, Trust to nothing in
ferior. Keep the rack and trough
right, the breed up to the standard,
the condition favorable, and not only
the individual will profit thereby, but
so will also the country at large.

lT is not quite just to work the
horses hard all day and then tnrn
them out in the fields to forage for
their living half the night. Better
keep them in the stable, properly
ventilated, and well bedded, and car
ry to them such portion of green food
as they need. They will do more
work and do it all the easier for this
care. They can be made to do their
own moving by using the mower q
few moments each day. An advan-
tage to be gained by this-and to
tell the truth this idea was at the
bottom of the suggeston--is that If
the mower is not in perfect order IL
will be discovered in time to have 1t
made so before the press of haying
comes on. And now we might go on
with the stereotyped advice to have
the rakes and forks on hand, and all
things in order for the harvest, but
we refrain. The hint given as to the
mower will be quite sufficient for
provident farmers.

Killing Up Corn a Mistake.

Henry Stewards Experience.
1t will be quite safe for every
farmer who plows his corn deeply
between the rows to try an acre or
half an acre with fiat cultivation in
stead of plowing. 1t is mistake to
put plow into cornfield after the
plants are a month old. AT that age
| have traced corn roots entirely
across the rows, and intermingling
with those of adjacent rows. 1t can
not be right to cut and tear those
roots and deprive the plants of their
mouths, by which they feed, or to
confne them to narrow strip of soil
of only two feet wide. | know that
it is not right for me to do so. When
| first used Shares horse hoe for
cultivating corn nearly 20 years ago,
| was first encouraged to try to grow
large crops Of corn, for found fat
cultivation greatly increased the
yield. More recently was still more
torcibly taught that blowing corn was
mistake. A field of sweet corn
was partly cultivated with horse
hoe and part was plowed. a stub
born hired man, who thought his
plan was the best, and in spite of
orders, plowed four acres very deep
", earthng up the corn several inch
rS. IL was as severe Il case of root
pruning as one could wish for. The
consequence was jhat from that daV
the pIowrd corn stopped growing,
and yielded not one ear. while the
rest OF the field produced more than
eleven thousand ears to the acre.
Root-pruning corn is serious mis-
take and deep plowing among corn
is root-pruning.
FOSTERING agriculture is no class
legislation, neither is it centrali2ing
power in defiance of the constitution,
for it is the peoples cause as the
nations life. Gou may scuttle every
American vessel and raze to the
ground all our manufacturing cstab-
lishments, this people would still re-
main as proud, as Independent and as
self-suppoltIng as any people ON
earth. But should the vengeful pow
or of an offended Deity destroy but
for II single season all our agricul-
tural products, annihilation, both in
dividual and national, would be our
inevitable doom. No, agriculture is
science too vast in its extent. too
powerful in its hearing upon the
welfare of the people to be consider
ed in the same legislative catagory
with our other manifold industries.
Agriculture is an original, productive
industry that is dependent only upon
itself, and is sufficiently extensive and
important to deserve separately and
alone the consideration asked for il
in this bill.- Congressman Aiken.

Beets are splendid for hogs, but what
can excel good clover pasture ?-Farm
Journal.
We give it up. But then we grow
beets, when we grow them at all, to
feed at time when clover pasture is
hard to find. Query: If clover pas
ture is so good for summer feed for
pigs, why cannot clover hay be profit
ably used as q winter feed! Put
away a ton or two Of second crop,
very carefully this season, and when
you come to winter feeding chaft it
up, mix with a sufficient quantity of
it, the days allowance of grain, and
cover it all with boiling water. Let
it stand, covered tight, for a few
hours to scald, and try your pigs
with it. Keep it up for week, and
then tell US how you like the plan.

FERTILIZER manufacturers are said
to be large purchasers of leather
scraps from the shoe factories. These
scraps are ground into meal and
mixed with the fertilizers. This meal
contains q large amount of nitrogen,
one of the most valuable constituents
of any manure, but while it yields to
the manipulations of the chemist in
the laboratory, and enables him to
put a high valuation upon tue manure,
it is of no practical use to the farmer,
because it is almost impossible to rot
itand cause it to yield up its nitrogen
to the soil. One more way of max.
