"The toughest town in America is
Mullan, Idaho" said II. b. Stebbing, of
Boston. He was telling some incidents
of long trip through the west. ''Mul-
lam" he went on, sis little town in
the Cnur d. Alene mining district, where
you can put nickel in the slot and
see n man die with his boots on Our
party, three Bostonians, arrived in Null
Ian just at dusk one day. We wanted
TO go right to our rooms in the hotel
and get separated from the dust taken
up on long stage ride.
~'"The tavern-lkeeper was dealing faro
in the office, and we had to wait until
the crowd went broke before he could
even look at u.s. About Q o'clock he
got all the money and gave us our
rooms. He took us out in the street
and, pointing to a lighted room in the
top corner of the hotel said our rooms
were next to that. We had to enter the
house and find our beds. The landlord
wouldn't walk up stairs with u.s. and
his clerk was always acting as referee
at a prize fight down at some wicked
place.
1--WE were eating lunch at a table
where two miners were seated, and one
of the men said to his friend: Get onto
the bloalses eatin' pie wild fork Dey
must be English lords Nearly every
one in town had pistol strapped on
his belt, and all looked as if they were
ready to start the fireworks on the
slightest provocation. When we retired
/ asked the clerk for pitcher of ice
water.
You ducks got nerve, he said.
Why?
"'AslIin' for ice water when de bar
amt closed yet Don't serve no ice
water here till the bar closes. See?'
1--WE went to our rooms, and during
the night sent down stairs three or
four times for a pitcher of water,
but could get none. Presently heavy
pair of boots were heard on the stairs,
and thought the hotel man s conscience
had been creeping around. A thump on
the door and the miner " no commented
on our eating with fork pushed in his
head.

THE CHEAPEST FENCES.
When Properly Built 1t May BE Said to
BE Everlasting.

EOpSNly DuhI IL Vhay hbo Sdlu W
BE Everlasting.
The best and cheapest fence on my
farm built II years ago, and it is still
good. The posts are cedar, set feet
apart with the end of the timber, which
naturally stood up, placed down. This
is the way to make the fence: Let the
posts go in the ground 80 inches, and
project ~ to feet above ground. A
top rail of 2x4 scantling is to be NOR
tised into the corners of the posts and
nailed fast. White oak pins are turned
uniformly one inch in diameter, and in
serted in holes bored in every other
post. They'must be previously well sea-
soned and soaked in boiled oil. The holes
must be bored in the post at the exact
point where the wire is to pass it. To
get the holes exactly right with the
least trouble, it is the best plan to first
bore a board for pattern.
Now lay wire along the line of
posts, coil one end of it around pin
and drive the pin in until it's head mbeds
the wire in the post. Then drive a
staple over the end of the wire Now
with man to handle and drive the pins
and another to stretch the wire by
means of a crowbar or wire stretcher
each time u pin is driven so rods of
fence may be hung in one day. use
five wires under the scantling. Each
time after pin is driven the wire is
slackened to allow it to be twisted
about another pin. These pins are
only placed in every second post, the
wires being stapled to the inter
vening posts. The cost is as follows
Two cedar posts at Is cents, 3O'cents
five plain wires, number 12, Is cents;
five oak pins, 3 cents; scantling, IL
cents; labor, 81 cents; total, 81. The
wire rarely or never breaks, as it's con-
traction and expansion are taken care
of by these pins. George w. Hum,
phrey, in Farm and Home.

DEPTH OF COVERING.
Points That Must BE Carefully nj
Tboughtful1y Considered.

Points That Must BE Carefully and
Tboughtfuliy Considered.
Even with fall seeding OF grass, the
time of sowing, the kind of seed and
the condition of the soil must be taken
into consideration in determining the
depth at which the seed should be
planted. Small, light seeds need but
little covering, while the larger and
heavier need to be covered deeper.
When there is plenty of moisture, less
covering is needed than when the soil
is dry, and more covering is needed or
can be given when the soil is warm
than when cold. With all seeds a GER
tain amount of heat and moisture is
necessary to induce q good germina-
ton, and while it is often the case that
seed will remain in the soil for a con-
siderable length of time without ger
minating, because the conditions arr,
unfavorable, yet later on it will start
up and grow. In fact, in a majority Of
cases it is best to get everything in
readiness so that at the proper time
the seeding can be pushed as rapidly
as possible. With all crops, if the best
yield is secured, it is necessary to Sc.
cure a good, even stand, and while it
is important to have the seed dis.
tributed as evenly as possible over the
surface, it is also necessary to SOW
under as favorable conditions as posi-
bic, so that the seed will terminate and
grow
If the seed is covered too deep it is
often the case that they will germinate
| and'the plants smother and die before
they reach the surface. This is espe-
cially the case where the soil is rough
or cloddy or where crust forms over
the surface, as it often does after a
hard rain. Again, if the soil is not in
good tilth, plants die after termination
because the roots have not been able
to penetrate the soil sufficiently to
keep alive. With the soil in good con-
dition and sufficiently moist to induce
a good termination, very light cover.
ing is needed with all kinds of grass
seed in the fall. A very light harrow
or brush will readily cover sufficiently
deep.
Witch wheat or rye the advantage in
using the drill is that the seed can be
covered at more uniform depth than
Is possible when sown broadcast by
hand and covered with the harrow OF
cultivator, and better termination as
well as thriftier start of growth car
be secured, while considerable time
will be saved in doing the work. BY
working ahead SO that everything car
be in readiness, and when the con
ditions are most favorable the seeding
can be done as rapidly as possible. =
