Poultry coops.

A coop ten feet square will accommo-
date twenty-five fowls if the roosts are
well arranged and kept scrupulously
clean. If the floor is of boards, it should
be arranged so that the rats cannot get
1t. If the floor be sprinkled with dry
earth or sand after it is swept out with
a broom, which should be done every
day, the fowls will keep healthy and be
free from disease. A good coop may
be made ten feet square, s feet high at
the back and three or four feet at the
front, the rear of the coop, which
should face the south having a green
house sash three feet by six ON the
top, Such coop will cost as follows: /:
Sash, ready glazed, So; 300 feet Of lum-
Der for floor and sides, So; roof about
81 (shingles) total $13. This does not
include labor, and may cost less in some
places for material. The nests should
be OF boxes, separate, so as to be easily
taken out for cleaning. A good white
washing should be given the coop at
least once a month. If confined in
yards, the fowls should be given exer-
else by throwing the hard food into
leaves, In order to make them scratch.
Spade the yards up occasionally, which
turns under the filth and purifies them.
Cleanliness is the best medicine that
can be given for warding off disease

Deer and SWALLOW cultivation.

Professor J. w. Sanborn's exper-
iments at the Missouri Agricultural Col
lege are quoted by The New England
Farmer as appearing to contradict the
old theory that Cultivation of the soil
deeply in dry weather keeps it damp by
attracting and absorbing the humidity
of the atmosphere:
cit would seem therefore, that when
the housekeeper's clothes hung upon a
line to dry during the night are found
IN the morning to have given up their
moisture, or a portion of it, to
the surrounding atmosphere, the
earth too has been giving up its
It's moisture to the air. and that under
such conditions the deeper and more
frequently soil is stirred in a dry
time, the dryer that soil will become.
The preventive measure, as previously
recommended by Professor Stockbridge,
is to cultivate only the surface in dry
time and say one or two inches deep, in
order to keep the ground covered by
thin coat of soil, so thoroughly dried
that it cannot readily conduct off the
moisture from below. Stirring the sur
face lightly disturbs capillary attrac-
ton, and prevents the moisture from
rising to the surface to be absorbed bv
the night air. Deep cultivation in dry
weather it is claimed exposes the earth
to the absorbing action of the air."

SCHOOL ELECTION.

Amidst the hurly- burly Of general
politics there is one election soon to be
attended to that is liable to be forgot
ten. It IA the election Of County
School Superintendent and School
Trustees. The school act OF Feb d,
1883, provides that there shall be n
school election held annually on the
frat Monday OF September of each year
at each district school house'--witl the
exccption Of three counties named, OF
which Alt,lras is not one. On this day,
Sept. I'd, at least one trustee should be
elected, in each district to hold FROM
one to three years.
II appears thnt ut this school election
In September, the County Superintend-
emit Is also to be elected, and not In No
veml,eT with the remainder OF the gen
eral county officers. The Trustees and
County Superintendent are TO be chos-
en- at the same time.
We understand that Professor A. j..
Oaumer OF Bellevue will he candidate
for Superintendent and persnmc thnt
the present able incumbent will also be
. candidate for reelection.
In connection with school affairs we
call attention TO the election to he held
at Ketchum school district on the 3Oth
day Of August, submitting the question
Of leyying special tax for an addition
TO the school house here. This special
election is separate affair from the
September election. Tho two coming
80 close together may cause misapprc-

not examined tho matter,
We call attention also to the fact that
at this special tax election the ladies'

Big Land Sale.


Tribune reporter learned yesterday
from Bird & Lowe. land agents, TINT the
Central Pacific railroad lands in Utah
have nearly nll been disposed Of. The
last sale WIS consummated on Wednes-
day. when W. II. Mills, the compapy's
land agent, closed contract with Tarpy
and Phillips. large stock men OF Cali
fornia, for all the Central Pacific lands
embraced in rnges Ave. six. seven and
a part Of eight west. This land includes
each alternate section OF $40 acres with
In the twenty mile railroad limits north
and south OF the road, extending from
Corners Springs to the Nevada line.
The land disposed OF amounts to about
2l2, 900 ncres, and is the largest land sale
ever made in Utnh, the next largest be-
ing the compapy's sale to Kerr Il
Toponce. The surveys are now
being made preparatory to set
Ting title and ousting trespass-
ers. Included in the sale nre the Prom
ontory. Connor's Springs. Blue Creek,
SILT Wells. Cerlew Valley, Round Noun
tain, and the head waters OF Raft River,
at all of which places there are numer-
Gus ranches, and large bands Of horses,
sheep and cattle. just whit will hap
pen with all these ranches does not
appear, but It is certain the new pur-
chnsers are to begin Mt once stocking up
| their rancho with between 5000 and
| 100, 900 head of cattle. The price paid
| for the land by Tarpey & Phillips is not
given, but it is said to have been over
81 an acre. The rancho will he run in
conjunction with Tnrpey rancho, in Ne
vada, and when stocked will add about
two and n half million dollars to the tax
able property of Box Elder county. The
small ranchers within the limits Of the
land sold, though they may be on Gov
eminent lands, will be placed at great
disadvantage with-the big company and
will either have to let go or restrict

The almost phenomenal advance
m,,nt of the subject of this sketch,
from comparative ob5curity to a
nomination of the highest office in
the gift of the American people, is a
striking illustration of the poSsibli-
ties of free country, and the re-
wards for an honest, conscientious
performance Of duty in public sta
ton. Within period of something
over three years the Democratic can
di,late for President of, the United
States has been elected mayor of his
city by the largest majority ever Civ
en- acandidate for that office; Gov
crnOr of his State by the largest ma
jority ever given in it, and is likely
to be chosen chief magistrate of the
nation by an overwhelming vote.
Gov. Cleveland was born in Cald-
well, Essex county, New Jersey,
March Is, 1887, and is therefore
nearly As years of age. His father,
Richard Cleveland, was congrega-
tional minister, born in Norwich,
Conn.,, and his mother, a daughter
of Abner Neal, of Baltimore. When
about 10 years of age, Grover went
to Buffalo, where he had relatives,
who persuaded him to remain there,
instead of going to Cleveland, Ohio,
as he had intended. lie entered upon
the study Of the law in the office OF
Rogers, Bowen & Rogers, and in 1858
was admitted to the bar. During
the next few years he achieved
marked success in his profession, and
was made Assistant District Attor-
ncy for Erie County. In 1870 he
was elected sheriff of the county, and
later in 1881 mayor of the city. II
was his administration of that office
that attracted attention to him as 9
suitable candidate for Governor il
1882, and his record in the latter pos
ition has made him the standard
bearer of his. party in the prescn
campaign for the Presidency.
