I. "The addition OF such a set OF
books is valuable" This is very bad.
The hooks are not added to anything,
either in the sentence or 10 reality, and
they are not sect" but list or col
lection. lSee A. A ''set Of books"
means books OF the same kind, as for
bookkeeping; or the works OF some
particular author, as "a set OF Dickens
Works" Reducing this sentence to its
bare subjec. and predicate; Addition
is valuable" it is meaningless. The
verb ITO be" requires two Dominatives,
one before it and the other after it, as
"Nellie is lady," Gold is valuable" !"
that is, a valuable metal" or thing"
understood; but addition" is valuable
what? "Actiob," ""exercise" or "thing?"
Supplying any OF these words doesn't
make il tintelligible, except we consider
il AS referring to the arithmetical oper-
alton OF adding numbers together, and
in this sense 1t would be meaningless in
the sentence under consideration. Per-
haps it was intended to mean that the
subscriptions TO the library would make
valuable" "additionn to the Colonel's s
salary.

The additions influence? In what way
can addition" influence the young

gether of numbers be considered a
highly moral exercise?
8. "Incalculabler' additions in

as ''the influence of iIcalculable addi-

Winter offered, through 'THE NEWS, !"
a prize OF 5000 for the best criticism
and recasting OF the certificate. The
competition was open TO the pupils OF all
colleges and schools in Boise City,
Weiser, Lewiston, Albion. Bannock
and Bingham counties, Ogden and Salt
Lake City. Ninety-one competitive
papers were received from 81 boys and
90 girls. Twenty-eighi were from Ban
mock county. There were none from
Bing ham county. Many Of the papers
we're highly crcdi,able, and many 9TH
ers were not much better than the
original certificate. The prize has been
awarded 10 Miss Kate X. Holloway OF
the Ogden high school. Her paper is
a very clever and scholarly piece OF crit
icism and Is FAR superior 10 any OF the
others. Miss Holloway is II years Of
age and WAS formerly resident OF Po'

feet from top all round the HILL setting

and see what kind of a slope you have
to deal with. If medium slope a one
horse pillow is sufficient, say slope of
to 3 feet, but for more would require n
deeper furrow. Run twice to each 80
feet or ditch. Throw dirt out, leaving
at least ditch 2 feet wide, foot deep
or little over. On these banks SOW or
plant blue grass or red clover to hold
the banks. Then plant two rows OF
trees6 feet from these bitches, prune up
to be bushy and thrifty, then IL you

their adaptabllity for planting by road
sides. They are In the way Tor many

when the tree is in leaf 1t is quite apt
to keep the wagon track from drying

than a benefit. Besides even an apple
tree is likely when 1t gets to bearing

into the adjoining fields. Some farmers
pIant fruit trees in the line Of the fence,
thinking to use the trees to fasten

In an experiment In keeping milk In
bottles sterilized by heating in live
steam (212 F. and in other bottles
washed with hot water In the usual
way the Kansas Experiment station
found a vastly larger number of bae-
terra in the latter. AS far as the ap-
pearance of the bottles was concerned,
the uIisterilized looked the cleaner. The
conclusion Is: This shows that We can
not trust the eye TO tell us when dish
is clean. Wherever possible every milk
dish should be subjected to live steam,
and the longer 1t is exposed the better.
In some places where special pains are
taken milk dishes are subjected to live
steam under pressure for fifteen min
utes. Where steam cannot be had,
scaldlng hot water should be used. and
the longer the dishes remain in this hot
water the cleaner they will be. since
many bacteria that can withstand the
heat for few seconds will be killed II
exposed several minutes. This treat
ment will not insure sterllty, but 1t
Will materially reduce the number OF
bacteria
