Will Run on Snow and leo and Even In
the Water.
Motors for horseless sleighs are among
the latest novelties at the patent office.
They are light, powerful affairs, and
can be run by an amateur as easily as
those attached to horseless carriages
The sleighs are designed, says the New
York World, to run either on the snow
or ice. A pair of spurred wheels is
arranged between the runners, and
with little lever the driver can adjust
them SO that they will work on the soft
snow just as smoothly as upon ice. One
inventor has also provided against the
danger of breaking through the ice.
His sleigh is formed something like a
boat, and is perfectly water tight. If
the ice should break the sleigh would
float, and the ice spurs would act as
paddle wheels in bringing you to shore
again.
One patent is for sleigh that may be
rowed across the ice. On the end of
each oar is a heavy weight with a sharp
steel point to cut into the ice Another
rowboat for the ice is rugged with slid
ing seat and legs with sharp spurs,
which catch into the ice and shove the
boat forward each time the rover pulls.
Considerable speed is obtained by this
arrangement, although the rowing is
not as easy as upon the water.

THINNING FRUIT.

The Missouri Horticultural society an
nounces its creed on the subject of thin
ming fruit as follows:
First-No tree should have more fruit
on it than it can hold up well and manure
to perfection; that is to say, that the
trees should not be so loaded as to require
branches bend very severely. This checks
the growth of the fruit to such an extent
as to injure the quality.
Second-Every time tree has too much
fruit it weakens the vitality to such an
extent as to require two or three years to
recover, or so checks its growth that it
begins to decline and is permanently in
jured.
Third-In the production of an overcrop
it costs the tree more to ripen the seeds
than to make the fruit.
Fourth-If from a tree heavily loaded
there is taken one-half or even three
bushels of fruit than there would be if
all were left on the tree.
Fifth-By this practice there will be less
poor fruit upon the market, and the good
will bring better prices and give infinitely
better satisfaction.
Sixth-Thinning makes the fruit of
much better quality, makes it keep longer
and produces finer. handsomer, more at
tractive and much more desirable and
saleable fruit.
Seventh-When orchardists shall look
upon thinning as important as cultiva-
ton, pruning, care and attention, they
with perfect fruit of the very best quail
ity. thus increase the demand, enhance
the value and give vastly more satisfac-
ton to both producer and consumer.

THE FAMILY ORCHARD.

The farmers family orchard should
contain a good many varieties. Some
early. some medium, some late. some
sweet apples and some sour ones. Ap-
pies to eat. 10 cook, to dry, to preserve
and 10 stow away TO keep and use as
needed during the winter. In making
the selections Of varieties be guided
by those that have been tested and
proved Of value in the locality where
they are to grow. The family needs
all kinds of apples and wants them at
an times Of the year, and a. good selec-
ton of varieties is essential TO the Sc
curing OF these. It should he remem-
bered in the selection Of the trees that
the best ones are not those with the
long, straight stems. but rather a
stalky tree with a low head and that
has plenty Of side starts, although il
may be said to look rough. Plenty Of
good side shoots are good indications
OF good roots, and this is one impor-
tant essential in the securing of good

sTARI.E Y0UR COWS.

Make one resolve this fall that you
will commence to stable the cows earlier
than you have generally, and leave them
out very little in bad and cold storms
and that they shall have the best care
that you can give tnem. If you do have
a summer dairy there is no reason why
the COWS should be dry by Thanksgiving
Ii they are, the reason is letting them
rough it and using up all of their surplus
feed that would have otherwise gone to
milk, but was taken for the food of sup
port There is no reason in the world
mat they should be exposed, other than
to make them hardy, and why cow
needs to be more hardy in November than
June cannot be explained. 1t is said that
stables are too hot for a COW TO stand
in in the fall. Are they ever as hot as a
June pasture lot, and that is regarded
as an ideal place in which to elaborate
a twenty pound pail of milk. Cold and
milk giving will not go together, and
making q cow tough to stand the cold
dries her up and she loses flesh faster
than does well stabbed COW that is Civ
ing two pals of milk a day. Which is
the most profitable of the two cows, the
one that is getting used to cold weather
by exposure. or the one that is turning
food into milk and an owner that is turn
ing milk into money? Fix your stables
with good ventilation, and try to kill the
COW with rational kindness one winter,
and see how they look next spring.

what is more important, trees which
get very early hold upon the soil en-

better than trees planted in the spring.
Again, it is generally better to buy
trees in the fall, when the stock OF
varieties is full, and when the best
trees are yet unsold; these trees must

about as cheap and fully as safe to
plant them directly as to heel them in

In fail planting, however, it is i'm
portant to insist that the trees be thor
oughly well matured. In order to move
stock quickly, it is the practice of
some nurserymen to strip" the trees
before the growth is completed; that is,
the leaves are stripped off, the growth
stopped, and the trees put upon the
market for September deliveries. This
process weakens the trees, and I am
satisfied that many failures which 1
nave seen in young plantations in this
state are attributable to this cause
SUCH trees may die outright especially

dwindling growth for the first few
years. Like early-weaned calves, they
lack vitality and push.

The true sugar beet contains the largest

roots and the mangel-wurzel the least. I
should not grow the sugar beet, however,
give a larger bulk of roots. since succu-
lence is an important factor in feeding.

THE HoLsTq11N-.TERsEY CROSS.

Referring to Mr.. Eavemeyer's plan
of putting new life into the Jerseys
by crossing them with Simmenthal
bulls, Mr.. S. Eoxie writes to the Ameri-
can Agriculturist: The impression
might have found breeds nearer home
more suitable for his purpose. The
Ayrshire is beautiful animal, of I'M
questioned health and stamina; the
COW gives nearly or quite as much
milk as the Simmenthal, and it is as
rich. The Red Polled, with equal
stamina, is not behind in any dairy
quality. And last, though not least,
the Holstein-Friesian gives as rich
milk and mora of it. One of the largest
breeders in California writes that he
has largely crossed the Holstein-
Friesian on other cattle. He. says, 'T
have half-bred Jersey and Holstein
thoroughbred on both sides-which
produced 1921 pounds of butter last
year by the Babcock test" [ have ad-
vocated the crossing of breeds for sew
eral years. and have made inquiries
on the subject. From what informa-
ton have been able to gain. and from
my own very limited experience, I am
led to the tentative conclusion that
cross of medium weight Holstein-
Frtesian bulls with Jersey cows is
success. A cross thus made by me
resulted in no difficulty of birth, and
the produce was a large and very rich
mixer. l sold her to a large dairyman,
who has often said to me, "She was
the best COW I ever owned" l cannot

Especial 10 Ths Rerald.l

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 20.-It is learned
that the silver Republicans will put a
new state ticket in the field. Since the
Democrats and Populists have refused
to give Dubois recognition, Dubois has
determined to enter the field against
them, instead of assisting them to elect
a governor, congressman and a. few
other officers
The call for the nomination, il is said,
will be made in few days When the
news that another convention was to
be called, was learned by several prom
inent Democrats and Populists today,
they secuted the idea, and said it was
merely scheme of the silver Republi-
cans to scare the Populists and Demo-
Gratis in certain counties into dividing
the legislative ticket with Dubois
1t is believed, however, that the con-
vention will be held. Steunenberg,
Democrat, and Gum, Populist, fusion
nominees for governor and congress
respectively, who were placed on the
boilers state ticket, will be hauled
down. 1t is more than probable that
Dubois himself will head the new
ticket for governor, and Willis Sweet
will be given the nomination for lieu
tenant-governor, so that he could step
into the gubeTnatorial chair in event
of the election of the ticket, in case
Dubois is elected senator Attorney
General Parsons will remain on the
ticket for the office he now holds, and
if the nomination of Congressman
Wilson for the supreme court bench
stands, W. E. Borah will be nominated
for congress.
Silver Republicans will go to Wood
River for a. man to nominate for score
tary of state, in place of George J.
Lewis, PopulisG. This man will be W.
II. Watt, for auditor. Bartlett Sinclair,
of Kootenai county, will be nominated
instead of the fusion nominee, j. H.
Anderson, of Weiser, Populist
