Progressive Farmers.

The true farmer does not stop to count
the COST Of improvement, for his reason
prompts him to believe that he cannot
go wrong by endeavoring to improve.
Every acre of his farm is cultivated to
its highest capacity, and his soil never
deteriorates in quality. lie rotates his
crops with the view to increased fertility
and he estimates his profits by the
amount of expense entailed in securing
that profit. The failure to realize inn
mediate results does not discourage him,
for he knows that, through his ,judicious
system of cultivation, the realization is
but deferred for little while longer.
He farms for profit and he spends for
profit. He knows nothing of stinted
economy, which saves to day and robs
tomorrow. The farm is his bank, his
workshop and his occupation, no stone
being left unturned, and no portion
sighted at the cost of another part.
A good farm means good stock. The
squealing hog has no place on it, but
must be superseded by the quiet thor
oughbreds. The tangled faced, small
carcassed sheep cannot be allowed where
only the Merino, the Cotswold and the
Oxford Down are adopted. The scraggy

A STRANGE HISTORY.

The Henry Stevens collection of docu-
ments, once the property of Benjamin
Franklin, purchased by the Government
of the United States and just handed to
Mr.. Lowell, has rather curious history.
Benjamin Franklin's illegitimate son.
William, was Tory through the war,
siding openly against his father, for
which he was cut with slight mention
in Benjamin Franklin's will. To Will
liam's son, William Ten pie, howeve',
with whom he had no quarrel, he left d
handsome legacy, besides his manu-
scripts, papers and large portion of his
books. These manuscripts contained the
secret history of the war, anecdotes, p,i-
vate negotiations, ETC., which now wouli
be inoffensive. Bat at the time of Frank
Inns death these revelations would have
been dreaded by many persons, and TT
the least by the British Governmer I.
William Temple Franklin took the d,,u-
purpose of publishing one of the ma
scripts, the autobiography OF his graz
father The work was not publish
however, until twenty seven years 4
in mutilated form. 1t was said th
William Temple Franklin was Undue d
to withhold it's publication during t
time and to suppress the other ma
scripts in consideration of s35, 200, pa d.
it was alleged, by an emissary of ttc
British Government.
The manuscripts, which have now lie
come the property of the United States
Government, are those that were SUP
pressed at that time, and which have
since come into the possession of Henry
Stevens. In January, 1881, Mr.. Evarts,
then Secretary of State, laid the matter
before the House of Representatives, but
no action was taken in that year. Sub
sequently however, the necessary appro-
priation was made. The price paid for
the collection was $25, 900.
Among the documents are the Origin al
petitions of the Continental Congress to
George III, in 1774, signed by the dele
gates, and the original records of Frank
Inns negotiations and his official cores
pondence in Europe from 1775 to 1875,
covering the time of his efforts toward
the raising of money for the support II
the Government of the United States and
the pay and clothing of its troops during
the years 177G to ITS, the recognition of
the United States by tho Governments of
Europe, and the negotiations for peace
which ended with the treaty.

To CURE COLD FEET.-The Philadel-

but little exercise, may warm their cold
feet without going to the fire. All that
is necessary is to stand erect and very
gradually to lift ones self up upon the
tip of the toes, SO as to put ali the tendons
of the foot at full strain. This is not to
hop or jump up Or down, but simply to
raise-the slower the better-upon tiptoe,
and to remain standing on the point #

coming to the natural position. Repeat
this several times and by the amount Of
work the tips of tho toes are made to 60,

Boise City was bound to become the

vantage, but he would only refer him
to the directors, to say what would be
done. Director Ames said that the rail-

Boise City is fast gaining an un-

of thieves here have things their own
way. They enter any house they
please anywhere in the suburbs and
as often as they please with
out fear of molestation. They con-
fine their operations to the laboring
classes, knowing that so long as they
do no stink will be raised. Last fall
when the rascals tapped house or
two of the more well-to-do citizens a
safety committee was formed, two OF
three bad ones were bounced, and
from fifteen to thirty good men pa
trolled the streets all night for two OF
three weeks. Since when not one OF
their houses has been molested
These disturbances will continue du-
ring the winter unless those most in
terested will follow the example sc
successfully set by Others by taking
immediate steps to break up the gang

would soon make the town so that a
