Northwestern Entsrnrixs

1t is said that America is another name
for opportunity. The crowded populace
OF the old world Is obliged to toll early
and late TO grind out a meagre living. and
at the same time is compelled To support
an expensive royalty and nobility and
maintain large standing armies. Their
existence is one weary routine, and at the
end of life they find themselves no further
advanced than at the beginning. In
America, however, there is u chance for
every energetic, temperate man TO get
ahead, for we have here vast natural re-
ources-agrcultural mineral aud COM
mercial--our educational facilities are the
best,and our population is us yet compar-
atively thin In the rocks and soil we
have untold wealth still wholly untouched,
which only awaits intelligent, well-dirccted
energy to be brought out
The Northwest, especially, with it's
bracing climate and varied resources.
offers to push and pluck opportunities
unsurpassed anywhere in the world The
doors open To the worker are evidenced by
the success by which enterprise here has
already been attended. We are Justly
proud OF the great mines, the farms and
ranches. the mills, manufactures and
commercial houses of the Northwest.
The farmers and miners are supplied with
groceries, clothing. tools, etc, from the
cities, and in turn find in the cities mar
ket for their agricultural produce, ores.
hides skins and other productions. One
house has for nearly two decades fur
nshed market for Ill of the latter class
OF goods that could be shipped 10 them.
and although consignments are made di-
rectly to them, usually without price,
simply with the name and address of the
consignor, immediate remittances at the
full market value are made without ex-
ception. Jas. Mcmillan & Co. have for
years been known in every nook and
Granny OF the Northwest rs leading deal
ers in hides, furs, sheep pelts. wool aud
similar commodities. and their business
has grown from nothing to be the largest
of its kind in the United States
We might mention houses in e&ery line
of business whose perseverance and prac-
tical judgment have raised them To the
highest stratum of the commercial world.
and whose straightforward business
methods have won them universal CONF
dence, but one example will suffice. The
prolonged panic through which we are
passing is liable to make us forget our
natural advantages, but we firmly believe
that soon our hard times will be over and
our country will again prosper us her re-
sources and enterprise warrant.

In speaking OF the cost OF silver
last week for the information OF the
Caldwell Tribune, we neglected to
include the very important feature OF
silver production at present prices,
which is that those mines which are
producing regularly have consider
able Of gold output along with it
to prop up the profits on. At least
80 has been our impression. AS we
said, the cost Of production falls with
the market price OF bullion, though
perhaps not in quite so great ratio,
but it is the greater or less quantity
OF gold with the silver which enables
many mines to be worked now at a
profit.

The Boise Statesman is publishing

Draining Without Tile.

Some time ago there appeared in this
department of the WATERMAN state
ment of the experience by farmer in
Calais in the use of drain tile. He
said: "a year ago last fall we put in
about twenty-five rods of tile, which
thus far has not proven successful.
The soil is muck on top and then hard
pan. We put the tile down from two
and half to three feet, and at such
distances that there was seldom more
than two rods of wet land on each side
of the line. Last summer was very
wet season, and, either from this cause
or because the water did not get into
the tile fast enough, the land was not
satisfactorily drained. After a heavy
rain the tile at the outlet would be full
and an abundance of water at the sur
face. But at no time during the sea.
son was the land dry enough to cult
vate. We do not see any way to do
but to dig up the main line and put in
stone drain which shall be large
enough to carry off the water. How
ever, we should like more information,
for we do not intend to give it up So"
In the subjoined contribution, W.
r. Bliss of Corinth tells how effective
and profitable draining was done with
out the use of tile: GA large branch
flows through a part OF my farm. On
the south part of the farm is steep
bank, then level, then depression,
then rise, then level, wet piece of
ground with a small brook on the east
side. The first thing was to deepen
the channel of the small brook and
make it flow as straight as possible.
Then an open drain was dug on the
north side to cut off all springs as eff
fectively as possible. Then ditch was

artificial and it is easy to improve it or
breed it away. The Ayrshres, that
originated in Scotland, are bred for
milk, and every effort is put forth to
improve that quality. SO with the
Jerseys, natives of the little Island of
Jersey. They are bred there, as here,
for butter, that finds ready market in
Paris and London. The farmers there
bring together their choice animals
with large records, and when one with
superior yield is found her progeny is
sought and bred. The same thing is
done in this country until cows have
been raised to capacity of 1000
pounds of butter.
Mr.. Vail advised the farmers to
secure males from cows of large records,
and breed them with their herds. But
after this best blood is secured there is
something further, and that is the care
and treatment of the animal. There is
way of rearing and developing
young heifer, with low feed and bad
care, that will lower her vitality and in
jure her through life, and there is the
opposite way. Up to the time heifer
becomes a COW, if she is bred for but
ter, care should be taken in the feed
and treatment, that she is not started
along the beef-making channels. Young
animals should come into milk at two
years old, and the milking quality should
be gradually increased.
Mr.. Vail gave some practical ex-
periences in his own herd along these
lines, and spoke of the treatment of the
simple diseases of the COW, among them
black scab, lock-jaw and garget.
The meeting was then opened for
discussion, and Mr.. Vail was piled for
half hour with various questions per-
tinent to the subject under discussion.
In the evening Professor l.. r. Jones
of Burlington gave an illustrated lee
ture on "The Diseases of Plants"
Friday morning F. G. Williams of Gov
entry discussed the question, "Shall

dug on the lowest side of the ground
with an outlet on the small brook.
Another ditch was dug to discharge
into the first. The bitches were dug
through the muck down and into the
bardpap. Some of the bitches were
three and one half feet deep. They
we're wide enough to lay in a timber on
each side, and these were covered with
fiat stones, with cobbles on top of them,
and next above the stone q covering of
fir boughs, and, lastly, the dirt that was
thrown from the ditch. This ground
had been so wet that we had to take a
dry time to cut the grass, wear tight
boots, NOW by hand and rake with a
small hand rake, getting a very poor
quality of hay. After the bitches were
completed, we sowed little grass
seed. Now for the result: The next
year after draining we moved with a
machine and raked with horse rake.
Herdsgrass with heads from six to eight
inches long was raised, and one years.
hay crop now is worth more than any
three before draining, as we cut two
crops yearly on this same ground.
This ground we never have plowed and
don't care to pillow, as we cut as heavy
grass as will make on the ground. The
first piece mentioned, near the branch,
we have plowed for some years. Be-
fore draining, part of it was nothing
but a mud-hole. Now we plow, harrow,
plant and SOW with some comfort. The
drains have been laid for about six
years, land are doing good work now.
