FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Growing pigs require wholesome
food like other stock and it will pay
to take pains to supply it.
The demand for good riding horses
will increase in proportion to the i'm
provement in the horses produced.
1t is popular mistake to think that
man who has failed at everything
else will make success at beekeep-
ing.
The removal of large limbs is often
the cause Of immediate decay in apple
trees, and this should be avoided as
much as possible.
1t is characteristic of imported
bloc led Italians for two queens to live
in harmony. Each generation Of
their progeny will grow more yellow
than the last
An excess of drones is a loss to the
beekeeper. They consume large
quantities of honey without gathering
any, and a loss of honey is the result
as we'll as a loss of labor to the bees.
Sheep need frequent feeding, and
daily access TO salt and plenty of pure
water which they can go to as they
please. No other animal will go from
food to salt and from salt to water as
often as the sheep will when they have
chance.
On account of the prevalence of tu-
berculosis in cattle some of the large
cooperative creameries in Germany
have decided to require all of the cows
of their patrons to be placed under
veterinary control, the cows being ex-
amined four times year.
Boil three pounds each of sulphur
and freshly Stacked lime IN six gallons
of water until there is but two gallons
Of it. Pour oft the clear water. and
bottle for use. A gill of this in five
gallons of water makes a solution
which, sprinkled upon plants, will
prevent mildew.
The Dominion Government is maxi
ing special effort to interest farmers
in dairying, and for this purpose is
sending out travelling dairies. At Oak
Bay creamery was erected lately,
with a butter-making capacity of from
six hundred to eight hundred pounds
a day. The daily production at pres
ent is about one-half this quantity.
If the poultry house is kept Gle lr of
filth, there will be much less danger
of disease. Clear away the droppings
and scatter dry earth and land plaster
over the floor. Add the filth, when
removed, to the manure heap; it will
be of more service thus than if kept
in barrels. 1t is often the presence of
lice and filth that drives hens to roost
in trees instead of the henhouse.

| culls and wormy, bruised fruit Oe'
tween. Such apples only meet with an
unreliable demand from the lover
classes abroad. s. Ear there has been
no effort on the part OF American
growers to cater to the taste OF the
better classes, who consider dozen
table apples cheap at fifty cents amt
frequently pay 81 to $50 for them
There is demand from this class o.
costumers in Europe, especially I'D
England, that will use thousands oil

1 would propose the using OF q
package somewhat similar to that no"
used by the Australians, which IS a
wooden box made of three-quarter-lncn
wood for sides and division pieces, with
the sides, top and bottom of box made
of one-fourth to three-fourths wood I;

be planed, the rest of the wood rough

measurement, says G. A. Cochrane in
the Massachusetts Ploughman. The
sides. bottom and top. should consist
of at least two pieces each and not
more than three. They should be
nailed with inch wire nails and should
not quite meet, say a distance between
them of one-quarter of au inch. This
is to leave an air space. The fruit
should be as nearly one size as posi-
bic, and remember, very large or very
small sizes are not desirable.
Apples about two or three inches in
diameter are the most inviting for
table fruit. The fruit must be hand
picked and free from bruises, scabs,
grub or other blemishes. There is
no need of facing. All sides must be
alike, as buyers open side, bottom or
top when inspecting Each piece of
fruit must be Warped in paper, same
as are oranges and lemons, and with
some such paper newspaper or old
paper will do). Pack snug, but do
press sufficient to bruise, or pack too
slack, so that the fruit will shake
about. All this is very simple, and
packers have only to have in mind
how Californians pack their fruit to
accomplish the object in view. On
one end of the case the packer should
stencil the name of the apple or mark
it with heavy pencil; also the initials
of the packer or shipper. Fruit buy
ers soon become acquainted with ship
pers' brands, and those that are relia-
bic are always in demand AMI FREE
quently bespoken for ahead.
For table fruit, colored apples are
wanted, red or yellow tint, crisp or
hard meat most desirable; soft or any
kind of sweet apple not wanted
Gravensteins, Northern Spy, Baldwin,
Duchess of Oldenburg and other
similar varieties are all good fruit to
puck in this manner.

FREE OOINAGE9

Reports from the Transmississlppi
congress indicate that the advocates
of free coinage of silver are accom-
plishing a vast amount of good for
the cause. That is TO say they have
so far succeeded in securing the APP
plause of each other. The organiza-
ing of the committee on resolutions
with Bryan of Nebraska as chairman
and Marshal of Texas as secretary is
reported as being highly dehghting
Tie indications now are that the
delegates from the silver states may
declare in favor of the measure. A
clear case of the Dutch taking Hol-
land. This question is one in which
the selfish interest of the majority in
the East are opposed to the local
interests of the West. Continued
intelligent discussion of the subject
is all very well but no advance will
be made until Eastern money interests
dictate it. The great West is only
classed as provincial, The recent
elections have settled the silver
question for time, and in manner
by no means satisfactory, but settled
nevertheless until the prolonged and
unbearable suffering of the people
makes them demand in positive
terms the restoration of that which
has been stolen, that is one half their
money. But to expect it to be done
through the medium of ordinary
argument and by the acts Of
adversely interested legislators is an
absurdity. In matters where sec
tional interests control, the East
always takes the turkey. And
always ale sure of the assistance of
political friends in the West whose
allegiance to party is paramount to
local interests. Silver
will have its time again, but the
resurI ection day can only be antici-
'ated by the exercise Of faith.

Thinking a few items from this
place might interest few people, the
writer will try and let them know
how everything is moving in and
around the Meadows.
The people of the valley are enjoy
ing good health with a few excep-
tons. Vim. Jennings has been very
poorly with bone erysipelas on the
right arm near the elbow. Dr. Sher-
wood, of Council valley, is treating
him and says the case is not danger
Gus. The doctor was called from
here to Salmon river to attend a
young man who had fallen off horse
and dislocated the knee joint and was
in a very critical condition.
Judge Yoakum will start to Pen
dleton, Ore, in few days to attend
to some matters pertaining to de-
ceased brothers estate.
Mrs. Piper came up from Salubria
with the intention of securing the
school in the lower end of the valley,
but upon arrival she learned that the
board had contracted with another
teacher. Any board without teacher
would do well to procure the services
of Mrs. Piper, as she carries good
certificates and recommendation and
is teacher of vast amount of ex-
perience.
Hon. Gilbert Smith, state senator
elect, is making preparation to start
to Boise, to be on hand when the
state legislature convenes.
G. W. Clark will shut down his
sawmill about December l. He is
saving lumber now to build himself
house near Cal Whites hotel.
Miss Emma Clark, one of No. 9's
famous pupils, took the stage to In
dian valley, to visit sister who lives
near there.
Mr.. White and Tom Clay had their
cattle dehorned last Saturday at
seven aud one-half cents per head.
Some slippery fingered gent froze
onto one of Cal Whites nice, plump
turkey gobbers last week. Cal is
now teaching his turkeys the propri-
ETY. of roosting high.
Clay Yoakum has large force of
men at work in the Weiser CANYON
and the road will be in first class con
dition before winter sets in.
Our teacher w. II. II. Palm, took
a trip to Weiser for the purpose of
attending the teachers examination.
The school was closed week and he
came home tired out with second
grade certificate averaging SO 10.
Arthur Folsum contemplates build
ing an addition to his house before
winter starts in.
Mr.. Madison and n-in-law, Mr..
Becker, came home from Salmon
river where they we're hunting up
their cattle that had been pasturing
there last summer and fall.

The elections are over, the votes
counted, and again for two years the
silence of acquiescence to the popu-
lar will denotes that the people are
satisfied with the will Of the majority.
The same laws and the same condi-
tions will govern and surround the
victor and the vanquished. Political
opinions will, in the main, remain
unchanged, aud in 1896 the oppos-
ing masses will array themselves and
each again strive for the supremacy,
and the victorious party of today may
by some means become the van
pushed. In 1892 the political earth
quake was far greater than the recent,
for the reasons were Of greater mag
nitude; it was a presidential year, a
year for definite results. This year
is, to a degree, formative or specu-
lative, and there are ways and means
in the power of the democratic party
still in power to retrieve all present
losses and assure q continuation of
power by the election of president in
1896. The needs to this end are
simple and the time for their sugges-
ton and development is at hand The
republican party has for years
achieved victory by advocating theo-
ries for the benefit of the working
masses and putting all their practical
politics in full force for the benefit of
the wealthy classes, all the time
clamoring, and with more or less
truth, that they were the party of
progress, while the democratic party
was classed as Bourbons, who never
forgot anything and never learned
anything, which is also, in measure,
true. This is an era of progression,
and no party or principle can endure
that is too conservative to accept the
situation and come square up abreast
of the times and take advantage of
every means or opportunity that
offers to develop the country and en-
ploy the mind and muscle of the land.
The millions of idle men and women
that are clamorlng for bread and for
are not useless and
oyerplus of population; they are only
the unemployed element that should
be employed in the development of
country that would also give them
home. The development of the So
called arid lands of the mighty west
is the solution of the question. As
a financial proposition it is only the
investment for necessary improve
ments that would return the cost one
hundred fold. As an economic ques-
ton it would result in opening for
homes and civilization an area of
country suitable for high type of
people, the class that do and will in
habit only the civilized belt. The
overcrowded sections would find relief
for years if the new territory was
guarded against the horde
of foreign invaders that have hereto
fore rushed in and stolen the birth
right OF American boys and girls.
The political party that first appre-
ciates the value of the So called arid |
territory and adopts measures to de-
velop the wealth of mineral, timber
and agriculture, now a dormant fac
tor in our national progress, will be
the great party of the future. The
question is not one for the future but |
for immediate consideration.

According TO certain newspapers,
the Cook gang of desperadoes in In
dian Territory is being utilized by the
Indian authorities to scare intending
white settlers away, and by Others to
force the territory under military
control and eventually into statehood.
Perhaps the tariff liar, now out of Il
job, has been tackling this subject.
