DISCRIMINATION IN CHICKE N
BUYING.
A Sister Comes to the Front With
Some Stern FaCts-Seli Ac-
cordipg to Weight.

Mr. EDIT0R:-The farmers are daily
making their appeals to Congress,
the Legislature through The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER as a medium, s. | make
my appeal rs q representative Of
farmers wives. There is a chicken
d,~.er vino travels through our coun.
Try, who regulates the price Of poultry
and aggs, paying d different prices TO
differ ;sl5l peop.e:, the pIlces depending
on the kuoHledge OF seller as to
their worth, and giving in exchange
inferior sometimes money.
In Justice to this dealer | will say
that he does better by US thau tne
most Of them), The prices range
from 10 GEMS to 25 GEMS, 25 ce4. S
Being the highest price paid for d
grow chicken, regardless Of SIZE.
Indeed that seems to be the fixed
price of a grown chicken at the South
even in flush times. The Uncer 5ainty
OF the price of chickens is a source OF
iuiustice to us, the dealer generally
getting the best end Of the bargain, as
he knows by experience what they
viii bring in market. [ have just
weighed Two young chickan7, one a
fifteen cent chicken and the other one
for which | could get about twenty
cents. The former weighed l. lbs. !;
the latter Al lbs, difference Of three
pounds and a difference in price Of
five cents.
Ii a farmer carries pigs to market,
would they be sold proportionately =?
Now about turkeys? My neigh0or
carries them to market and he gets
IS cents apiece-sometimes more.
Now any two Of my large Cochin
hens would weigh as much as one of
MS turkeys, that Is all average turkey,
and it would seem absurd for me to
demand more than SO cents fer the
pair. | sent some to town last spring
and | know any one of them would
have weighed six or seven pounds and
| received 20 cents apiece for them
If they ever pay fancy prices, It has
not fallen to my lot to receive them.
1t is claimed that turkeys are superior
oirds to chickens; that their flesh is
more delicate, etc. If it is 50 | fail
to see it, and | have heard many
others say the same. | think they
acquired their reputation more by size
than anything else. Now as to eggs
A merchant with whom | trade has
told me several times that the eggs |
carry MIN are considerably larger
than the average, and that eggs
should be sold by weight. | have
seen it stated that ten average eggs
will weigh a pound, and if that is true
| am sure that many dozens will each
weigh two pounds, or nearly so. With
the present way OF selling and ouying
there is no encouragement to woman
to 90 to the expense Of buying i'm
proved breeds for the sake Of selling
eggs. | suppose this all seems little
to make so much ado about, but it
means many pounds Of poultry and
eggs to US. With the depredations OF
dogs, opossums, minks, foxes and
hawks, We are obliged to be put to
trouble and expense to have enough
to use and to spare to the epicures Of
towns, and we ought to have what
they are worth. say and repeat it,
let them be sold by weight.
Will you allow me space for this, SO
I can get the views Of others p?

Sportsmen, Look O1t!

It may be we'll to remind the pub
lie that by an amendment to the
game law. approved February z
1889, Amy person who wilfully
shoots or otherwise causes to be
killed, or offers for sale any buffalo,
elk, deer, antelope or mountain
sheep between the FIRST day Of jan
uary and the fret day Of September,
in each year, is guilty of a n,isde-
meanor, and is punishable by a fine,
not less than 500 nor more than
$500, for each offense committed. y
Also: That it is unlawful to
make any dams, or use any nets,
seines, fish-traps, or any similar de-
vice or measures, for catching fish,
or to ship the same out of the state
for speculative purposes; but no
person is prohibited from catching
salmon or sturgeon with seine or
spear"
Also: That any person who puts
into the waters of this state, or who
uses any poisons or explosive sub
stances, for the purpose of taking
or destroying any species of fish, is
guilty of felony, and is punishable
by fine not less than $3.50 nor more
than $500, or by Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary not less than
one nor more than three years, or
both such fine and imprisonment.
1t would be advisable for some
of these youngsters who intend to
indulge in summer sports hastily,
not to forget the above, and some
other provisions of the game and
fish laws. It may save them from
il world Of trouble.

School Election.

The school law requires an cleo
ton annually, on the first Monday
of September, at each district school
house, at which the board Of trus-
tees are supplied whenever a vacan-
CIV occurs. There is a vacancy OF
one trustee in the Ketchum district.
An official notice in this paper di-
reefs attention to that fact, and the
time and place Of the d str Ct This
is a matter of Importance, and
should not be forgotten. Trustees
nave to employ teachers and fix
their salaries, take charge of all
school property, call elections for
the levy of school taxes, and in
many ways affect the minds and
morals of the young as we'll as their
elders. Such an election is deserv-
ing of attention.

Sudden Death.

From our Galena correspondent,
We learn some of the facts relative
to the sudden death Of Mr.. Frank
Wilmouth on Sunday, August Sd
Mr.. Wilmouth was we'll and in good
spirits on the evening OF that day,
laughing and joking with his FAM
lily. After supper be went out to
the river to his wagon to soak the
wheels, preparatory Of a trip to
ketchum on Monday to get the
tires set. Soon after, his granchiid,
four years old, went to the house
carrying his grandfather's with him,
and said, Grandpa is dead" His
wife and son went Immediately to
the river and found the body.
Whether he died from being struck
by the pole of the wagon in turn
ing, as some conjecture, or from
heart troubles, is not known. He
had been subject to attacks of heart
disease several times before. He
leaves a wife, two sons and one
daughter. He had a married daugh-
ter at Hepner, Oregon, and also
son, John, at the same place who
were teIsgraphed for. The son ar
rived in Ketchum on Wednesdays
train and left the same day for Ga
lena. The funeral took place at

1daho'S Population,

According to census reports Ida
ho contains a population of about
$4,000 souls. No doubt several
thousand have been missed by the
enulnerators. Governor Shoup had
this figured down pretty close, as
he has done in all other matters OF
interest to Idaho.-Cassia County
Times. August l..
Perhaps Major Pinkham, super
intendent of the census for Idaho,
will prove the better guesser of the
two. In reply to an inquiry as to
his guess of the number, made this
week, he estimated the figures at
about 10000.

THE following received from
Blackfoot gives to US the reason
why Judge Berry had no right in
appointing supervisors, and We
submit it to the consideration OF
our readers.
The supreme court Of the United
States has decided that immediate
ly upon the admission of territory
az state, the territorial courts
cease to have jurisdiction in any
United States matters.
Judge Berry overrules the decis-
ion of that court and now holds
that he has all power conferred by
the United States statutes on cir
cult and district courts of the
United States. This, too, in the
face of the enabling act which at
taches Idaho to the Ninth circuit
and creates it as a judicial district.
and provides for the appointment
of a judge therein.-Eag!e Rock
Times.

How to Make Money.

Mr.. e. II. Williams, Secretary to
Brighton and Garden City additions
to Salt Lake City, is in Ketchum on
business and stopping at the Baxter
House. Mr.. Williams comes recon-
mended by the Salt Lake Chamber
of Commerce and reports that
Brighton will have its street-car line
in operation inside of six weeks and
that the new hotel is in running
order. The Grace Church corner
stone will be laid tomorrow after
noon. All the streets are being
graded, as is also the public park,
while some immense artesian wells
are driven to supply water for the
10000 trees to he set out this fall.
Thirty-one wells are now flowing
from two to six barrels of water
minute each, and more fine resi-
dences are being built in Brighton
than in any other addition to Salt
Lake City. Brighton boasts of the
best transit to all parts Of Salt Lake
City at scent fare; the best build
ing sites, the best houses, the best
schools, the best water, the best
plan for securing homes, telephon e
services, and newspaper of its own,
and you can double your money in
three months by buying q lot in
Brighton in small payments. Mr..
Williams remains here only a few
days, SO call upon him at once.

A Paper With q Hobby.

The Boise Sun has hobby and
rides it with great freedom, which
is nothing more nor less than state
hood. One might imagine that its
editor had never lived in state be-
fore. He can see nothing but
statehood-not even historical facts
The common interests and inhuen-
ces that govern mankind are lost
to the Suns view in. it's prolonged
agony over one subject. Statehood
is a very good thing, but it is not
the only good thing in this life.
When the question was before the
people for action, the editor of the
Sun did not inform the world that
nobody but republicans helped to
ratify the constitution, or to make
it, or to bring it before Congress.
Neither did he then proclaim, as he
now does. that none but republicans
should hold an office in the state.
He tells his readers that "the flag
that headed the procession when
Idaho was escorted to her seat at
the council board Of the nation,
was the republican flag" We think
be was mistaken. 1t was the flag of
the United States, and the new star
on that flag on the Fourth of July
represented one Of those states
not any political party.
