A GREWsOME FIND.

During the last two days great inter
est has been conferred around deserted
claim on the Evans ranch, four or five
miles north Of town. Thursday after
noon Benny Evans, who was employed
on the Evans ranch, went over to the
cabin on an errand. He discovered a
mans body hanging from the ceiling.
Benny went right away from that
place, The alarm was given and the
news soon reached town. Friday a
coroner's jury was summoned and an
inquisition held. Very little could be
learned of the personal history of the
dead man. Upon his person was found
small advertisement memorandum
book which contained among other
memoranda some obscene and indecent
entries, two papers, one a short note
written with pencil in German, and
the other credit slip dated at Orchard,
Idaho, on the 9Th of March, stating
that Charles Bailey had worked for the
Orchard company and had four days |

should be selected than when a
commercial orchard is being plant

A new method of buying ard sell
ing cows is proposed by the North
Carolina Experiment Station. 1t is
based on the yield of milk and quail
ity of same, rs determined by tests.
1t is proposed TO pay for the cows
at the rate of $12 per gallon of milk
given per day that is rich enough
to show 81 per cent of butter fat.
To this price add or subtract 81 for
every one-quarter of l per cent of
fat above or below the 81 per cent.
By this rule the COW is bought en-
tirely on her merits. 1t is believed
to be conservative plan, and if
adopted will certainly raise the
standard of COWS and increase their
milk and butter production, for if
they can not he sold easily for milch
cows they will soon be turned over
to the butcher.-Country Gentleman.

Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the

FOR THE FARMER.


Millet seed is good to feed to lit
tie chickens.
Grease is good remedy for sore
heads in poultry. -
Do not leave water to freeze in
the drinking vessels. ,r
In selecting the eggs for Matching
select them of "a uniform size.
Better an empty craw and activity
than a gorged one and torpidity.
To secure the best results put
seven hens and one rooster together.
If hens comb becomes frosted
she will not lay until it heals up.
A small hen will lay as large eggs
as heavy one and will require less
room.
Just before the early pullets begin
to lay their combs will swell up and
turn red.
Now is good time to arrange the
coops and yards for the Spring
Matching.
Do not let dressed poultry freeze
before packing. 1t gives it a blue,
pinched look.
Nothing adds so much to the com
fort of the fowls as a well-lighted
poultry-house.
Tar in the drinking water will
usually prevent the spread of roup
among the fowls.
From now ON until Spring mature
fowls bring higher prices than at
any other season.
When eggs are kept for Matching
they should be turned half over
three times a week.
GRADUATED oatmeal makes good
feed for little chickens for the first
TWO OF tnTe6 weeks.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
are an excellent preventive of insect
breeding in the nests.
When the hens have plenty Of
opportunity for exercise they are
not likely TO get too fat. r -e
Unless the eggs are wanted for
Matching there is no possible ad-
vantage in keeping cocks.
A good disinfectant is made by
dissolving one pound of copperas in
two gallons of boiling water.
Sorghum seed makes good feed
for poultry. 1t tends to egg pro-
duction and adds to the variety.
Glover contains more of the neces-
sary elements for egg production
than grain, but it is a bulky food.
Ground bone is one of the best
forms in which to give lime to law
ing hens; but do not give it in food.
The guinea fowls come the near
est to being selfsupporting of all
the kinds of fowls in domestication.
Sifted coal ashes and dry road
dust in equal parts makes one of
the very best materials for dust
baths. -..#
When the weather is damp the
ducks are as uncomfortable as the
hens, and always seek a dry place
at night.
The fowls should be fed as late
and as early as possible now, so
that the time between supper and
breakfast will not be too long.
Buckwheat bran and small DO
tatoes boiled and mashed make a
good, warm feed for the fowls when
they fly down from the roosts.

GATOR speaks well of the Jersey red

that on account of the ability to
stand exposure and habits it is bet
ter suited to the Western farmer,

over an extensive range, than to the
farmers who have limited ranges
and shelter their stock in bad wealth

thicker bristled and harder than

Renewing soil Fertility.

While it is fact we'll known that
one can not deprive the soil of it's
plant food and retain the value
therefrom at the same time, it is
apparent that what is taken away
must be replaced in some form, with
manure or fertilizers. How the
"living" is made and the kind of
crops produced are matters to con-
slider. The only method outside of
direct purchase Of plant food is to
save and return to the soil all not
consumed on or sold from the farm,
and to grow green manurial crops
to be turned uader whenever posi-
BILE; but the surest and best method
is to purchase fertilizers, use judg-
ment in the rotation of crops, and
produce those articles which bring
the highest prices in the market at
the least cost in plant food from the
soil.

Winston that the remittur from the

While the law allows the date of
the execution to be set the next day
after the remittur is received from

that at least 30 days will be given
Leonard in which to prepare for
death. When Judge Mcdonald set
the date of the execution last sum-
mer, he gave Leonard 80 days to
prepare, and if he pursues the same
course this time the execution will
occur in February. There is no
likelihood of any further steps be-
ing taken to defer the execution,
and there seems now no hope of
Leonard escaping the fate which
was decreed by the jury which tried
the case.-CommOner.

A Horrible Accident.

Our little community was fear
fully shocked last Tuesday by the
sad accident which befell Mrs. J
&. Steele at about eight o'clock in
the evening In moving from one
room to another lamp, with a de-
fective porcelain bowl, was broken
and its contents spilled over the
floor, where the oil caught fire. Be-
lieying her son, Earl, who was try
ing to extinguish the blaze, in dan
ger, Mrs Steele rushed to his as
sistance with the result that her
own clothing caught and she was
soon enyeloyed in flames, Shrek
ing she ran into the street and ex-
hausted, fell down to be picked up
by Mr., Baner, her father, who car
ried the poor suffering woman to
the sidewalk, in the meantime
time beating down the flames with
his disengaged arm. Further aid
soon eXtinguished all traces Of fire
The injuries received by both suf-
ferers aresimply frightful, although
the attending physician has high
hopes of an ultimate recovery. Mrs.
Steele's lower limbs, thighs, hands
arms, and part of her shoulders and
neck are fearfully burned, whereas
Mr.. Baner's arms and hands are
nearly burned to the bone. The
presence of mind of Earl saved the
property from destruction. Every
thing is being done to alleviate the
agony of the poor sufferers who
have the sympathy of a whole com,
munity in their sad and painful ae

The Future of the Northwest.

1t is safe prediction that Of
whatever prosperity is in store for
the United States a larger relative
share will fall to this new North
west, for it is yet in its infancy Of
development. In 1890 the total
acreage of Minnesota farms, i'm
proved and unimproved, was 49,
SOB, 654, leaving at least 100000
aares of fertile soil illunoccupied.
The farms of the two Dakotas, in
Guiding their unimproved acreage,
embrace only 100000 of the co.
100000 acres in these states, most
Of which is arabic. Not a 1.-THE of
the mineral wealth of the noun
tain states has been developed.
Alaska, reached by numerous
steamship lines, from Seattle, Ia
coma and Portland, with its
boundless wealth of auriferous riv-
ers and mountains, is an outpost Of
this Northwest belt
Large areas of fertile but arid
land in Montana, Washington and
Northwestern Dakota, now useful
only as pastures for cattle and
sheep, may easily be converted in
to fruitful fields by a scientific sys-
tenn of irrigation, for which nature
affords abundant facilities in the
mountain streams and in the ar
tesian basins which underlie the
Dakota plains. The areas adapted
to agriculture in other sections of
the United States are SO largely oc-
cupied that immigration will be
turned perforce to these broad ex-
panses Of fertile plain and valley
in the new Northwest. And he
would not be too sanguine prophet
who, taking into view all the pro
gressive forces in operation in this
field, should estimate its probable
population at 100000 in 1910

Para Arrived.

The father of the runaway girl,
Sadie Abel, whom the Sun stated
last week would come up from Pa
louise on Friday mornings train
after his daughter, arrived on time
much to the grief and modification
of said girl.
She and her companion were
gaily tripping down the platform of
the railway station on their way to
the rear car when the old man
stepped from the train and quickly
seized his daughter by the arm.
The girl registered a vigorous pro
lest and tried her best to break
away and board the train, but her
rndeavors were useless and the
train moved on without her. Mr..
Abel called the city marshal to bis
assistance and a carriage was pro.
cured and the hayward girl was
taken to the hotel. When the ev
ening train arrived she was placed
on board and taken back to her
home in Palouse.
The girl gave as her reason for
leaving home that her father
abused her because she would not
marry the man he had picked out
for her. The girl declares that she
is of age, but the father says she is
not vet seventeen.-Oakcsdale Sun
