News from Boise.

Our readers are interested in
news from Boise, and this inter
est will be particularly lively
during the session of the legisla
ture this winter. At the very
beginning of the session the con-
test between Hon. Willis Sweet
and Hon. George L. Shoup for
the senatorship will attract at
tention throughout the entire
state. After that shall have
been settled, many matters of
the highest importance to the
people will come before the legis-
lature.
Those who desire to have full
reports of all these matters will
find the Boise STATESMAN most
valuable, as it is the only paper
so situated that it can give ex-
tended reports of all the doings
of the Legislature. For 81, the
EMI-WEEKLY STATESMAN can
be secured for 6 months, or the
DAILY can be had for three
months for $1.50.

Speaking of having two ltters a year,
n. J. Shepherd says in Farm and Ranch:
A good thrifty SOW should. under ordi-
nary conditions, bring two filters Of pigs
every year. To do less than this is to
greatly increase the cost OF the pigs at the
start. Very little more feed or care is re-
quired for the SOW when she farrows two
htters OF pigs than when she only farrows
one, so that the cost OF service is really
the great difference in the cost and this
divided among filters of pigs is but a trifle.
A sow should be kept in good thrifty
condition. whether she farrows two filters
or one. There is no occasion at any time
in making her fat. Liberal feeding with
good rations, calculated to secure a good
development Of bone and muscle is what
she needs and must have II the most is
made out of her. The amount Of her ra-
ton can always be best determined by her
condition. II she is an animal worth keep
ing as a breeder she can be bred to farrow
a litter of pigs in the latter part Of Sep
TENDER or early in October. and another In
March or April, and with good treatment

The Second and Late Crop of Irish
Potatoes

1t is only within the last few years. saws
the Southern Planter, that farmers in the
south have begun to realize the value of
the second and late crop of Irish pota-
toes. For the past two years the de-
mand for the second crop for seed, both
north and south, has been greatly in ex-
cess of the supply. 1t has been found that
both south and north the second crop no
tatoe5 make better seed for the first or
early crop than the northern grown po-
tatoes. The late crop for table use has
also found a ready market, as 1t keeps
longer and sOunder than the northern
potatoes. This crop is also best grown
from the second crop seed kept over I'M
til June or July and then planted as for
the early crop. If kept in a cool, dark
cellar the second crop seed will not COM
mence to sprout before June. The pota-
toes should then be removed into the light
and spread out thinly on the floor and the
sprouts will then grow short and green
and not rub off easily. They should then
be planted and treated as for the early
crop. To grow the second crop for seed,
medium small-sized, potatoes from the
early planted crop should be selected
when digging this crop for market in
June. These potatoes should be spread out
in shady place and fully exposed to the
air for a week. They will turn green.
After this they should be covered with a
thin layer of woods mould, pine tags or
straw, which should be rnoistened and
kept slightly damp. In ten days or fort
night they will commence to sprOut, and
as soon as this is found to be the case
all that are sprouted should be planted.
Do not cut them, beyond perhaps just cut
ting off a chip at the end.
Throw out tho burrows in which they
are to be planted deeply by running the
pillow twice through them. Fertilize the
lands as recommnded in articles on the
early Irish potato crop in our spring is
sues, but ii is not necessary to fertili2e
so heavily Plant the sprouted seed in the
bottom of the trenches, and cover lightly
with sell. AS the plants grow, work in
the soil SO as to bring the ground to a
level surface. Keep clean of weeds and
cultivate to encourage growth. Let stand
until frost, and then dig and store safe
from frost. Seed thus grown will make
a much heavier crop of early spring po-
taoes that are raised in the north.
1t is astonishing to think that this great
country does not raise all the Irish pota~
toes 1t needs and some for export besides
In the past ten years we have imported
an excess of 24.347, 405 bushels over our ex-
ports. These potatoes have cost us SO, 1885,
S45. Last year alone we imported an ex-
cess Of 2,19S,6S6 bushels over our exports
and these cost US $624,952. These potatoes
all come from countries where land is
more costly and labor as high or higher
than here in the south, and in addition
they paid an import duty varying from
20 cents (the old duty to Is cents (the
new duty bushel. Surely, this should

The cost is always to be considered. One

is by lessening the cost OF production so

Cucumber Culture for pickles.

Cucumbers can be grown very success
fully on common pine land and there Is
much profit in pickles well made, says the
Farmer and Fruit Grower. They are worth
SIG per barrel in Jacksonville for small
choice pickles. But the grower should
plant land enough to enable him to gather
them when very small, as large pickles
are not wanted.
A gardener near DeLand, one year, sue
ceeded well on ordinary pine land. He
broke it thoroughly and made high ridges
two and half or three feet apart. Be
tween these ridges in the water burrows
he put tobacco stems, but not sufficient
to make a ridge, on the contrary a slight
depressons was left. In this depression,
and Immediately above the tobacco stems
he planted his cucumber seed, about eight-
cen inches apart.
1t was his intention to thin out the
plants if found necessary to thirty-six
inches but as the vines did so well he
thought it unnecessary and allowed them
to remain as planted. The yield was most
flatter1ng. From a small patch he sup
piled the home market, and saved several
barrels of pickles, which he is now sell
ing at a profit Had he thought of it
earlier he could have saved a dozen or so
additional barrels. but the happy idea
Of making pickles did not occur to him
until several cart loads of cukes had grown
too large and had to be thrown away.

L. c. Greene. in Rural Life, says he
has recently read in four different papers
TO not give the work horses grass. and
many seemingly good reasons were set
forth substant,ating the argument, the
main one being that they would not stand
the work so We'll; that little watery grass
impaired the digestion, destroyed the ap-
petite, weakened the system, all of which
was a great detriment to their general
usefulness. All this may look well on
paper, ana to some 1t may be their ideal
way of taking care of horses.
Now, for me- 1 want the horses to have
some grass, not a full ration. for it may
De carried to an extreme either way.
But as soon as grass starts l want the
horses to have a little. They enjoy the
open air, run and roll, not on grass,
but in the dirtiest place they can find,
and all this is as nature intended it should
be, as 1t is their way of freeing the body
of any parasites that might infest them.
1t is good for their feet. Then they like
little taste of dirt orteler than they
get it If not turned loose, and with a
small pasture near The barn watching
the horses enjoy themselves a little is
worth all the trouble of turning out and
getting again.

When horse has a regular grain re-
ton of the right kind and what hay they
need l am unable to consider grass harm
full, but on the contrary, think It bene-
fetal. Here is one farmer that turns his
horses out Saturday night. There they
stay till Monday morning. His horses are
always thin in flesh He lays it to the
grass, but says he can't bother with them
on Sunday. Here is another farmer who
has hay enough to last horses moons until
hay comes again. The grain consists of
dry corn. The horses are turned out nights
through necessity on account of scarcity
of hay. His horses are thin. He lays 1t
to the grass, but l think they would not
be SO If they had plenty of hay.
My horses are fed ground grain mixed
in this proportion: Oats one bushel, wheat
one quart, corn two quarts. They are fed
six quarts each per day after 1t IS
ground and what hay they want
though they do not eat much
hay and If at work turn them
out little while in the evening, and idle
days they are out part of the time. They
are fat and healthy; always feel good.
That may look like small grain ration, but
a horse once fat is easily kept so. Always
keep ground feed fresh. Grind once and
sometimes twice a week and have 1t
fresh all the time.

strings till they reach the top, which IS
the signal for pinching the runners off.
The cost and trouble is small, and the
string and poles can be used for several
seasons. Besides, when a little care is
taken to do the work neatly, the growing
beans are an ornament in the garden. l
