"koN SIDERABLE OF \ KICK" From
On OF THE IDAHO ] ,uRNALISTIr
WIFE tLERs. WIN. Wheeler, of the
Caldwell Tribune, givcs Commissions
err Sparks the following ''douber-up"
right in the pit of his official stomach:
''lf there ever was gigantic donk-
ev deserving page in future records
as "The Great MiStata," that partir-
nlar long cared bird is Sparks, of the
General Land O flee. He IS. without
question, the most consummate ass
who ever occupied an official posi-
ton, and the present administration
has made AN error from which it can
never recover in allowing him to per-
pctrate his outrageous decisions upon
powerless public. The western
people. against whom these orders are
especially directed, will not tolerate
men Of SDark's calibre in an Office
where he can create 81 mlch mischief,
and the government which kecrs lin
in must suffer the consequences. His
latest ruling on the vexed timber
question is in every way characterIs-
tic of the man. 1t SHOULD he read to
be appreciated. Bv the terms Of this
decision no man can purchase Il stick
of lumber rom sawmlll in this Ter
iritorv without furnishing an AFFIDAVIT
tn the effect hat he buys it for his
own use. He must also state wheth-
err it is want ed for house, barn or
piTpen H. must he ii resident of
the Territory and full-hedye'l
American citizen. No lumner deal
or can buy single hoard of one OF
our own mills, but j. forced to pur-
chase his stock from Oregon, or the
East. Ia. D,lltr for an infringe
ment is IA fine of $500 and three
months Imprisonment, AID all be-
cause these mills cut their logs tive
hundred miles back in the mountains,
on lan'l which can never be settled
being utterl y unfit for ANYTHING unless
for mining. This outrageous decision
of course, virtually closes all oul
mills, and kills one Of our most i'm
portaut industries. Unless it is
rescinded at once, the mills will be
forced to cease operations. AS the To-
cal supply for lumber would not pay
interest on the investment. There is
but one thing the government can dc
to reconcile the western people, and
that has been delayed too long. VIM

their oppositcn to priest Y rule and
again giving the weapon Of the bal

s'rlctng the elective franchise there
exists a threatened danger to The pu-

hor Of preventing the breaking down
of the safeguards that now exist
against the supremacy of the treas n
able Mormon prlesth cd and their
Jack Mormon aDettors and svmpa-
thizets.
That we protest against the scheme
proposed by the so-Gllied Democra-
cy, hut really Mormon party, which
by Its demand for such repeal asks
for the acknowledgements Of al China
men aud Indians within our Terrific
rv, aud seeks to throw open wide the
doors for the importation of non resi-
drnts to frau,lulentlv control our cleo
tons, administer our laws, control our
schools, aud star the protests OF the
loyal men and women of the land
against the existence and supremacy
OF a church whose religion IS lust,
whose plety Is theft, whose patriotism
Is treason, whose name is stencil,
whose practices are abominable and
~hose existence IS moustrou.

whi;f is not Vet completed, will add
somewhat to the above tota swelling
the amount of tax to about SlO2,UOO.
The increase roll over last year is
about $4,000, though this does not

) property are this year, by act of the
Legislature, not assessed against the
holder North from HALEY there has
been great falling off in property
values, notably at Vienna and Atlanta
which will not Yield more than halt
the usual revenue to the county this
year. AS an in lance, the Vienna
company last year paid over 81 800;
this year their tax amounts to only
=. about one-haif. But while this is true.
the county south from Haley has in-
creased proportionatrlv in property as
the north has fallen off; in fact, con.
siderably more, as the above figures

Vinegar Making.
Spirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
In sorting apples at this season of
the year, many will be found either
decayed or with decayed spots. Sc
lect all such and add TO them inferior
ones, such as are unstable or unfit
for eating, and grind and press into
cider. Save the pomace carefully,
and put in barrels with one head out.
Pour warm water over it, and in
day or two it will begin to foam; then
put it in old sacks, as it will be too
soft to press otherwise, and Lut in
the press. Add the cidar thus OBJ
tanned to the first, and set the barrels
in the sun, with the bung hole open,
except cloth or wire gauze over it,
to keep out insects. When the wealth
er turns cold remove to the cellar. If
vinegar is wanted sooner than it can
be made by the ordinary process, add
gallon of sugar-house molasses, and
some mother from an old barrel, or,
if it cannot be procured, a piece of
brown paper. In few weeks if the
weather does not turn to freezing,
good vinegar can be obtained by this
process. The second pricing of the
pomace makes much quicker vinegar
than the first. A gentleman of our
acquaintance who manufactures large
quantities of cideT-vinegar every
year, assures us he makes as good
vinegar from the pomace and water
as from the pure cider, and the differ
ence is the latter never makes vine
gar until the spring following, its
making sometimes requiring two
years, while the former is generally
ready for market the same fall it is
made. By filtering through char
coal and sand, just as water is filtered
for drinking, it becomes as clear and
transparent as distilled water.

Look to Your Livestock in January.
\ merican AgricuIturlst Tor january.

American Agricuturist for January.
January is critical month with all
kinds of live stock. They should be
kept comfortable and gaining. If
they begin to fall off in condition,
they will be almost sure to lose rapid
ly, and will require more food and
better care to keep them up, than if
well housed, and continuously well
fed. Be systematic and regular, then
they will not stand ard worry for
food or water, and will take time to
feed, to ruminate, and to rest. Look
after sheds and stables, to keep them
clean and warm. Water ought not
to freeze in COW or horse stables, on
the coolest night, and at the same
time the ventilation should be such,
that the air is always sweet. Pigs
suffer greatly with the cold, and
should have dry, well-littered nests,
always. Litter them with straw or
swamp hay, enough so that they can
cover themselves out of sight in it.
Sheep should have dry sheds; they
bear a great deal of cold, but should
not have wet nor dirtystraw to lie in.
Where much straw is to be thrown
into their sheds, provide a few nova
BILE platforms, like old barn doors, for
them to stand upon. They will be a
great comfort to them, and they are
easily turned over when fresh straw
is throwed in, or they get dirty.
Fowls will lay if they have warm
houses, are well fed, and have a
chance to exercise. The free range of
the cattle sheds, sheep sheds, and the
barnyards, gives usually sufficient
exercise. If debarred from these,
they must have sheltered runs and
bare ground. Ducks need to be well
fed, but not allowed to get too fat il
they are to begin laying early. Too
much corn is always bad, except for
fattening poultry, as it produces in
ternal fat, stops laying, and makes
the fowls lazy. No exercise, no eggs.

Sensible Advice.

Green's Fruit Grower.
President Whites farewell address
to the students of Cornell University
was replete with common sense, but
there was one bit of advice which
was pre-eminently sound. "Do not
try to be smart" he said, "but do
everything that comes to your lot in
a faithful and satisfactory manner"
The ambition to be smart is the
curse Of the generation. The smart
man is not willing to stop long enough
to do anything well, because he wants
to do everything in fifteen minutes,
and spend the rest of his life inadorn-
ing his own wonderful interior. He
starts with a series of kangaroo leaps,
and is more than likely to end one of
them by landing in an unexpected
ditch. There are great many smart
men in prison, and very considera-
BILE number have retreated to Canada.
They go up like rockets, and they
come down like charred sticks.
Go slow. Recognize the fact that
you are not genius, and that conse-
quently you must work hard for what
you get. And above all things do
not try to be smart.

No Small Matter.

Too often we fail to realize how i'm
portant part the egg product plays
in the food supply and commerce of
our land. On this point Mr.. c. p.
Dewey sometime since, contributed
some interesting figuresto the Ameri-
can Agriculturist, from which we
condense the following:
Five million dozen of eggs are an
nually imported from the Dominion
of Canada alone. The egg import
from Europe is also large. Eggs pay
no duty, and when we reflect, that
this product comes from millions of
humble sources-the poultry yards of
small farmers-and that it is only the
surplus that goes to market, we may
well wonder, where and how the bill
ions of eggs consumed in the United
States are produced. 1t is probable
that the egg consumption of our fifty
million inhabitants Is not less than
three billion a year, at a valuation of
from twenty-five to thirty millions of
dollars. There are "egg trains" on
the railroads of the northern frontier.
The import of eggs at Ogdehsburg
alone, was valued at one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for the last
fiscal year. At Buffalo and in two
districts in Maine, nearly three times
this traffic in imported eggs is done.
There eggs are taken from the origi-
nal packages, carefully examined by
candle or lamp light, and then re-
packed, the defective eggs being laid
aside. If transportation is not i'm
mediate, the eggs are placed in cold
storage warehouses, where the tenn
perathre is few degrees above freez-
ing, and there kept until shipped.

To Keep a Lawn.

Spirit of the Farm.
There is no more beautiful adorn-
ment to residence than smooth
shaven, well-sodded lawn. 1t re-
quires far less attention than anyone
would suppose, yet it must be attend
ed to with punctuality, otherwise it
becomes hideous mass of sodden
weeds and unsightly turfs of dead
grass. To keep it well shaver, it is
necessary to run the mower over it
at least once a month, or oftener, if
the vegetation is rank. All fallen
leaves must be raked and hauled off,
and as this is the top-dressing bestow-
ed by nature, its loss must be COM
pensated by the application of ma
nure about once in three or four years.
Stable manure is the best form, and
it must be applied late in the fall to
prevent the otherwise offensive odors
arising from it.
