SENATOR MITCHELL of Oregon has
introduced a bill to incorporate a
company to be known as the Pacific
Cable Company. It is to have a
capital of 5000, 900, and major
ity of the directors must be citizens
of the United States. The company
will lay and operate cable lines be-
tween San Francisco, Hsyaii, ia
pan and Samoa. All of this looks
1irst-ra.e on its face; but back. of
this is q proposition that the gov
eminent shall pay the company a
subsidy of $500. 900 year for thirty
years. This divulges the true in
wardness of the scheme, which is
to defraud the taxpayers out Of
100000 for the use and benefit
Of a company of private capitalists.
To put it in the plainest terms, the
government is called upon to de-
fray the entire cost Of establishing
the cable lines, and the corporation
is to receive the entire benefits,
profits and emoluments of the bust
ness. But raiding the treasury is a
profitable business and will be kept
up until the people realize the ex-
pensivsn6ss Of the crime, aud then
it will be stopped. - land-grabbipe
wss stopped. There 10 no mors
valid reason why oable or other cor
povations should be subsidized than
why farms should be subsidized.

A majority of the legislature have
signed a petition to the President
praying the appointment of Judge
Beatty to the position of United
States Judge for Idaho.
Aliens own 100000 acres Of
land in this country. Estimating
their average profits on this at 81
an acre, we have an aggregate drain
from our soil by men who have no
interest in common with us of $780,
100000 per annum. 1s not this ii
strong argument against alien land
holding.
The Portland Oregonian says tie
President will appoint Beatty u S
District Judge for Idaho, but will
withhold the appointment until the
election bill is out of the way, in
order that he may not give offense
to Idaho's senator's and lose their
votes for the passage of that meas
ure. Not to speak of the low moral
estimate the Oregonian puts upon
our senators, who are members of
its own party, that paper should
know they have both put them
selves on record in favor Of that
vicious law.

Wanamaker's Report,

We received Postmaster-Ge
Wanamaker's annual report during
the week. Its statistical tables show
q stupendous amount of work by
the department, and the careful,
systematic and economical manner
in which it is performed in spite of
the frequent changes in it's manage
ment for merely political causes,
give the lie direct to the false pre-
fences put forward by interested
parties, that government could not
conduct the railroads or telegraphs
of the country. The fact is that the
government is the only power on
earth that can conduct them in q
manner to serve all the people at
fair rates. While these command
ing institutions remain in the hands
of private citizens they will be run
for private profit, as it is natural
and right that they should be, but
when their management and con-
troll is assumed by the government,
in behalf of the people, the incent-
i've of gain will have been eliminated
from their management and another
motive will govern-that Of efficient
and universal service. Mr.. Wanna
maker is therefore right, and should
have the cordial support of the
whole people of the country in his
! appeal for postal telegraph SER
vice. But his claim for greatly
improved mail service under his
administration is not apparent from
our standpoint. He may have,
and doubtless has, done something
to improve the mail service in the
large cities and populous centers of
the country; but in doing that We
suspect be has forgotten the sparse.
~ settled and less influential border.
At any rate complaints Of delayed
mails are not infrequent among our
exchanges; and it is not strange

THE Rexburg Press publishes an
extract from the Bedrock Democrat
showing that that paper is an adj
vocate of sending persons accused
of crime to the penitentiary without
trial, to save the expense of prose-
cutions. This being the case the
Democrat should shut up shop.
There is no necessity for man in
the newspaper business in this coun-
try SO lamentably ignorant as the
advocacy of q crime of that magni-
:ude implies. Under such a mon
strous rule any criminal could send
the editor of the Democrat to the
penitentiary by simply denouncing
him for a thief, for he would not be
permitted t. defend himself.

QUITE a number of good bills
have been introduced at the legis-
lature, and some Of them enacted
into laws. But so far the number
Of laws passed has been small, and
an extra session will be necessary to
enable the Legislature to complete
the work that the welfare of the new
state demands. And if, as some
think, our legislators are making
haste slowly, it is to be said in their
behalf that they are doing their
work we'll, which is better than
hurry, at least in legislative matters.

PRUNING TREES IN WINTER.

Notwithstanding manysaJ that winter
pruning of trees is injurious, I contend
that it is not. If done when the wood
is not frozen, and the wounds (any over
one-fourth of an inch in diameter) be
cemented over or even coated with
boiled linseed oil. there is no danger of
black spots OF the fat headed borer tax
ing advantage Of it. The covering Of
the wounds can be done month after
the pruning, as by that time it will have
dried so as to take the oil or cement the
better. have already done some prun-
ing this fall. There is another advan-
tage in pruning now, where the rabbits
are plenty, us inc green brush will give
them something to bark, instead Of their
attacking young trees, much to their IN
jury oft times. II young trees are prop
criy trained from their infancy there
need be no other tool needed than a
good pocket knife. The pruning of
trees in June, as some recommend, de-
mur most emphaticalIy, as from all my
experience, where it becomes necessary
from the effects of storms, the result was
injurious. 1t stands to reason That when
q tree is in full growth that any foliage
taken from it, the result is a check, and
cannot be otherwise than injurious.-

LEARNING TO WALK.

During the winter after the rush of
the work is over is good time TO break
the colts. Get them accustomed to
light work in the winter so that if need
be they can be used to some extent dur
ing the more pressing work III the spring.
One item is of great importance in break
inG the colts, and that is to train them
to walk we'll. A larger part of the farm
work is done in a walk and it will make
considerable difference in the amount of
work done whether the team are good
walkers OF not. One item in doing this
is to only work them with horses that are
good walkers. One of the best plans of
managing a colt is to commence walking
it with good gated but steady
going horse that will take whatever load
they are hitched to without difficulty. If.
however, he is slow, the colt will soon
learn the same gait, and little care in
this respect at the start will make con-
siderable difference in short time. Be
sure at first that the horse used in break
ing the colt is naturally a good walker
and then see that the colt is well broken
beside him and an important point will
have been gained. - Chicugo Times.

HAULING OUT MANURE. =.

After the harvest work is finished
and the plowing for the seed has been
done there is usually good opportunity
for hauling out manure, and, for winter
wheat and grass that is to be sown in
the fall, this is one of the best times to
manure; and by applying alter blowing

better plan is to haul the manure direct
from the stable to the fields and To scat

of course, to scatter evenly. and TO avoid

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.

"CaIves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about 100 pounds, or say
from eighty to 100 pounds, are the most
desirable weights for shipment" said a
leading dealer in Faneuil Hail Market.
You ask the way 10 dress calves" said
he; there is only one way. The head
should be cut squaroiy Off. In some cases
the head is scalded and dressed ard sent
to market, but in most cases IS over
looked and LETT at home. The lcrs should
be cut eli at the knee joint The entrails
should be removed, excepting the kid
neys. The liver. lights and heart should
be taken out. Cut the carcass open from
the neck through tine entire length, from
head to crotch. If this is done they are
uot so apt to sour and spoil during hot
weather. Do not wash the carcass out
with water, but with a dry cloth. Do not
ship until the animal heat is entirely out
of the body, and never tie the carcass up
il a bag, as this keeps the air from cir
culating. and makes the meat more liable

shipping tag to tie hind leg. Calves

HOW TO FEED FOR RICH MILK.

There can be no question among prac-
teal dairymen, however much scientific
men may doubt it, that rich food will
produce rich milk-that is, food rich in
fat will add to the fat in the milk. The
common practice among the best dairy
men is to feed the COWS fully with such
food as is given under ordinary circum-
stances, and then either change a part
OF it or add to it some other KIND which
contains a large quantity OF fat. Thus,
a COW fed on clover hay, with as much
coTnmeal as she will eat, may nave two
quarts OF the meal changed for two
quarts of cottonsccd meal, which contains
nearly three times as much fat as the
cornmeaI. This change OF food will al
most always result in the production of
more butter without increasing the
milk-that IS, the milk is richer in fat.
A cow that is fed on hay and bran will
increase in butter if the bran is displaced
by cornmeal.-N6e0 York Times.

Mature plants for winter work.
Harvest ice and fuel crops early.
Feed and water stock regularly.
Arrange to farm better next year.
Lay your plans for next years work.
See that each fowl gets its share Of
feed.
Carefully save all the meat scraps for
your fowls.
Now crowd the feed if you are fatten-

Never allow your horses to stand in
the wind or cold unblanketed.
Remember that sand, gravel and like
substances are essential to fowls.
Watch prices and prospects, and
market your produce opportunity. -
Wise stock raiser5 now try to grow
meat rather than to accumulate fat.
Land plaster, carbolic acid and kero-
sere are all good for the chicken house.
Do not forget that hens learn to eat
eggs by having the broken ones left in
the nest.
Do not neglect to place clean, pure
water every day in accessible places for
for your fowls.
Starving or freezing an animal is one
way TO render farming both Improbable
and unpopular.
Make the most profitable use possible
of all by products, for in these often lie
the profits Of farming.
Organization and cooperation are
potent factors for farmers; give them
your encouragement and support.
Alternately starving and gorging pig

Twenty-Five Or thirty pounds OF granu-
lated sugar syrup is sufficient winter and
