Idaho Fruit at the Fair.

A dispatch to the Statesman on the
1st says: ;, Idaho is destined to be-
come famous through its fruit exhibit,
if from no other cause, at the Worlds
Fair. The fruit is already attracting
marked attention. among the thous-
ands who stopped today to look at it,
the greatest astonishment was ex-
pressed that such fruit could be pro-
duced anywhere. cit is immense, "
was the somewhat more expressive
than elegant expression that dropped
from the lips of multitudes of persons
after looking over the display, while
hundreds upon hundreds stopped to
ask questions about it and to discuss
its merits.
The hit that the Idaho fruit is max.
ing can be appreciated when it is stat
ed that officials consider it the finest
in the exposition. Chief Samuels, Of
the horticultural department, said TO-
day: ''The northwestern states excel
in fruit, and Idaho has the finest ex.
J hibit of them all. "

Easily Made from Pine Lumber for Less
Than Five Dollars.
7. R. Wilds, Scovill, N. D., to the
Orange Judd Farmer: The combina-
tion hay and straw rack, illustrated
herewith, has been used on my farm
for many years and gives better satis-
faction than any we have yet tried. 1t
can be easily made from pine lumber
for less than five dollars 1t is my
own invention and l give it for the
benefit of any who may wish to copy
after it. 1t is constructed as follows:
The main timbers 4, are ordinary 16
foot joists, 2xs inches. These are
Inortised together at each end by means
of similar piece nf board as long as
the wagon is wide between the stand
ards The cross pieces 3, 8, 3, 3, are s
feet long and 2x6 inches, tapered slight
ly at both ends. These are slightly
notched and set upon the main imbers
of the rack. The standards /, l, l, l.,
are feet high and 2x4 inches, also
slightly tapered at the top. The braces
Q, 2, 2, q are to help hold the standards
in place and also to keep short hay or
straw from falling off the load They
are 1x4-inch fence boards. If these
are not at hand, ordinary Ike. inch
boards will answer. Nailed TO the

are four wide boards, one inch thick

FEEDING OF COLTS.
How to Carry the Young Animt
Through Their First Year.

How to Carry the Young Animals
Through Their First Year.
A very important factor in the colts
life is the first year of its existence
The treatment it then receives builds
the foundation for future usefulness.
A majority of farmers do not give their
colts proper attentions; although the
absurd practice of allowing the colts
to shift for themselves, with the view
of making them tough and hardy, is
going out of date. The fact that many
colts change their form in the winter,
becoming ill-shapen and forlorn in ap-
pearance, is largely due to the failure
to provide rich, wholesome food in
sufficient quantities. 1t is we'll SUBJ
stantiated fact that more profit is de-
rived from one bushel of grain used in
building up the natural qualities OF
an animal than from twice the amount
given a matured animal for the pur-
pose of laying on fat. If the demand
for material for bone and muscle
formation is denied when development
is taking place it naturally follows that
the powers of assimilation can never
be restored to their normal condition
/ no matter what the quantity or quality
of food given. 1t has been proved by
actual tests that a young animal should
be kept on as full feed as is practic
able without laying on fat to such al
extent as would prove injurious to the
construction of bone and muscle.
The idea that generous feeding il
detrimental to the organs of vitality
and of the liability of such treatmen
to the formation of weakness and de
fects, is without foundation. If exer
else sufficient TO bring every muscl
into vigorous action is impaired n
difficulty will arise from liberal feed
ing. In fact / have seer more blem
ishes of constitutional nature o.
horses of inferior merit than on thos
that have been well fed. A colt dun
ing the first winter should have a
least six quarts of oats per day, wit
plenty of good hay. Our method fo
several years has been to feed mainl
oats; o little corn is sometimes give
in the coolest weather to keep up tn
heat. Full feed is kept up during tn
stormy spring months, and when gras
comes the colts are in good conditio
to make a fine growth during the sun
mer.--J. B. Ellis, in Breeders G;

and 16 feet long Holes are cut through
these above the hind wheels of the
wagon, over which construct wheel
houses. l made houses by cutting
harvester bullwheel tire in halves
drilling holes in each end and boiling
firmly to the board. The boards on
the bottom of the bed are supported by
strips bolted to the main timbers as
shown in the illustration. Thus an al
most perfectly tight rack is secured
which will not allow any shattered
grain to be lost. The upper portion is
fastened to the bed by strips of iron at
each end as the engraving shows
When the rack is to be taken off the
wagon these are removed and one man
can handle the parts separately.

there must necessarily spring up
bond of sympathy between the farmers

Tribune.
Mr.. Herbert Lang, of Mineral, has
been in town the past few days, guest
of Mr.. George Reed. Mr.. Lang has
long been engaged in the smelling
business and has, it is said, discov-
cred successful processes of working
rock which are known only to him.
In fact, he claims there is no such
thing as refractory ore, and to make
an assertion of that kind man must
certainly have acquired knowledge
which is as yet hidden from the gen
eral world. 1t is an open secret that
Mr.. Lang is looking up towns along
the Short Line with a view to erecting
a smelter in the most favorable loca-
ton, it being rumored also that he
has large contract to work Seven
Devils rock. If such is the case,
Caldwell should strain every nerve,
make every effort to secure the loca-
ton of the smelter. AS has been
said in the columns of the Tribune
before, the town that first secured an
industry of this kind in this country
of ore, will inevitably secure every
thing else.

DANISH EXPERIENCE.
Various Values of Different Kinds of
Food for Hogs.

Various Values of Different Kinds of
Food for Hogs.
The Danish government has proved
by many experiments conducted on
their farms, the varions values of the
different kinds of food for hoes, and
the results obtained al as follows:
400 pounds of grain make 100 pounds
of live hog.
pound of grain equals A pounds of
boiled potatoes
pound of grain equals pounds Of
SKINNED milk.
pound of grain equals pounds Of
turnips cut small
pound of grain equals 10 pounds Of
sweet whey.
Barley, rye, wheat and peas produce
the best pork, and all grain should be
ground, soaked and mixed. In all cases
feed hog mixed foods, which give the
best results.
Particular attention to cleanliness is
most desirable, because it pays. In
cold and in wet weather plenty of bed
ding should be used. Exercise in sum-
mer or in fine weather adds greatly to
the health and well doing of swine,
and nothing is equal to red clover for
/ pasture.
