The Idaho volunteers have made
a name that will be in honor to
them and the state. TWAS known
to their friends that they had been
disappointed in getting into the
battle at the taking of Manila, and
they had vowed to win fame by
valor if the opportunity was ever
afforded them again. This accounts
perhaps for the brilliant work OF
the idaho boys. AS proof of the
regard in which the Idahos are
held by the commanding officers of
the CAMPAIGN, the following ono
tation from letter written by John
Bell to the Boise Sentinel is re.
printed: Eve are moved about
from one brigade to another to help

John X, Sovereign was brought
to Idaho to become a relormer aud
populist political leader. Before
he got fairly settled in the working
harness Steunenberg seduced him.
The party which imported him re-
pudiated his populism when they
discovered the Steunenberg liason.
The effort to force the populist
members of the state senate into
the administration ring caused an
open rupture and then came
the appointment as. Steunen-
berg's labor commissioner, and
the refusal of the senate to
ratity the same. The bond between
Sovereign and Steunenberg, how
ever, was too strong to be severed
by factlonal refusal to ratify the
nomination. The governor reap
pointed him after the senate had
adjourned. The populists have
asked Sovereign to resign the edi-

torego the salary of $4,000 a year

Vineland Management.

Prof. A. B. Leckenby, an expert of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture; visited Nineland the other
day. Prof. Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
and has spent many years in study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
OF the management AS being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is TO encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially i'll giving each settler the
benefit of years of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with man S independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as well as the
company, and are found to work we'll
i'll practice.

and more people should patronize the

If Boston was a hundred miles away
from La wrence, the local business in

present passenger tariff between this

or too low. It is good medium and

WHEN The PIGS COME.

The spring Filters of pigs will soon be
here and swine growers should be
prepared to receive them. "They
need to be kept perfectly dry and
comfortable says an exchange, and
should get all the fresh air possible.
The mortality among pigs is motor
Gus, and is due chiefly to the lack Of
care and to improper feeding of the
dam during the first few weeks after
they are narrowed. Wet beds and
damp cold quarters bring train of
pig ailments peculiar to these condi-
tions. A lack of sunshine and fresh
air also produces other special troub-
les. Want of exercise, with liberal
Errors in feeding the dam are at the
bottom of most of the causes of the
digestive disturbances known as
'scours,' although wet and dirty pens
will also produce them. Sour slop fed
to the SOW from dirty, fermenting
slop barrel will cause scours, and have
been traced directly to soap powders
from the kitchen that find their way
to the slop barrel. Sudden changes
of feed for the SOW will also disturb
the digestion of sucking pigs in the
same way. Heavy corn feeding also
produces scours. Watch the feeding
at these points with great care up to
the time the pigs are eight or ten
wQREc old and of no tho lob
to digestive troubles decreases. Very
often nothing is more humiliating to
the pig raiser than the figures repre-
senting the number of pigs he has had
farrowed in the spring, as compared
with the number that he is able, three
months later, to report as rail- ed. 1t
is serious loss, too, for it doesn't pay
to keep and care for brood sows I'M
less they give good filters of pigs that
are absolutely raised and brought to
marketable age. The hog cholera de-
stroys large number of pigs every
year, and as yet no satisfactory
means has been discovered of pre-
venting losses of this character. But
the slaughter of the innocents' that
occurs shortly after farrowingi is near
ly all preventable, because it is nearly
all due to bad care, cold, wet, uncom-
Portable quarters and beds and bad
feeding. Let US try and prevent the
things that we can prevent, and then
If the other kind of difficulties come,

ON BOARD 4 MANOR WAR.

The recent memorable achieve
ments of our navy under Admiral
Dewey at Manila and Rear Admirals
Sampson and Schley at Santiago, have
made that branch of our navy defen-
ses the center of a world wide admir-
alton that is as grateful to us as it is
surprising to those who are thus COM
pelled-in some cases grudgingly-to
yield it; for Uncle Sam is not always
popular with all of his Old World rela-
tions. These splendid victories, which
result in the promotion of the three
heroes to their present rank, have
added lustre to the brilliaEcy that all
ready belongs to the history of our
sailor boys through the deeds of Jones,
Perry, Decatur, Lawrence, Farragut
and Porter, who, with a host of others,
lead the world in dashing and impet
uous exploits on the seas. Yet, in
spite of the Importance and value of
men Of war, there is a surprising lack
of knowledge on the part of our citi-
zens generally in regard to the life of
their officers and men.
A modern man Of war is a very diff
ferent affair from that Of even a few
years ago, so rapid has been the
growth and development Of the navy,
and it may be freely and positively
stated that our so called new navy,
ship for ship and gun for gun, is, as
far as it goes, the peer of anything
that floats. Recent events conclusive
ly bear out this statement, and in
point of discipline, intelligence, train
ing and general fighting and sailing
qualities, our ships have always rank
ed exceptionally high.
The evolution of the modern steel
clad battleship and cruiser, which is
simply an enormous floating fortress,
every detail of which, from the gigan-
tic engines that propel the screws to
the hosting and dropping of the
anchor, is now controlled by steam,
has naturally enhanced our superior
ity, as America is essentially nation
of mechanics as we'll as of sailors, and
no navy admittedly possesses as much
intelligence and ability among its
common sailors as that of the United
States.

An EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.

Here is the first law of health-keep
your feet dry. We all know that the
shortest cut to a cold is a pair of wet
feet. But it's SO important matter
that we can't be reminded too often,
especially when the reminder carries
the weight of authority. DIR. Wendall
@. Phillips, of New York, was recent
ly giving a lecture on NColds and How
to Prevent Them. 1t was rainy even
ing, and he began:
Chow many persons here wore rub
bers to-night? Hands up.
s'Not half of you. Now that is what
thought Every one of you should
have rubbers on night like this. To
go without them is to invite colds,
bronchial trouble, catarrh, and pneu-
monia. 1t is astonishing how people
neglect their feet. Rubbers are fifty
cents. You can save lot of money
on the perhaps ten
days DOCTORS bill, to say nothing of
medicine.'
The doctor might have made it still
stronger and said that fifty ce ut
pair of rubbers w ould not have only
save doctors bills and medicine bills,
but often life itself. Don't try to save
on rubbers; it's the most expensive
economy in the world as the results
show.
