Geology of Idaho.

We have received an interesting
little pamphlet on the geology Of
Idaho by Robert Bell. The publ
cation. shows that Mr.. Bell is not
only enthusiastic in regard to the
mineral wealth of the state, but has
made quite study of its rock for
nations. The following brief but
encouraging extracts will show the
authors views regarding Idaho's
future as mining region;
"The majority of Idaho citizens
probably do not have any appreci-
alton of the remote antiquity to
which large proportion of the
rock formations, occupying the
present surface area of their state
belong, nor the probable CONNER
cial Importance their combination
and associations are liable to de-
velop.
AS an interesting comparison, |
think | can state without fear of
successful contradiction, that fully
90 per cent of the total area of the
state of Idaho is occupied by rock
formation that have the same origin
the same age, and largely the same
mineral and chemical composition
as an area Of five miles by seven,
in the richest portion of the Cripple
Creek district in Colorado which
yielded $20,000,000 worth of gold
for the year 1899.
We have abundant evidence at
hand to indicate that the magnifi-
cent results obtained in that famous
region, can and will be du-
plicated here in Idaho"

The question of the spontaneous
combustion of hay has recently
been investigated by one of the of
ticials of the weather bureau, who
states that fermentation within
moist hay may raise the tempera-
ture to 374dg. F., at which tenn
perature clover hay will ignite. The
best preventative to spontaneous
combustion is rapid and complete
ventilation by which the oxidiza-
ton and fermenting substances are
kept cooled down below the point
of ignition.
A noted San Francisco butcher
says: at always makes me sick to
see woman cook steak. She
invariably puts her frying pan on
the stove, and puts in a chunk of
grease as big as my fst; when it is
hot enough to begin to crackle, she
puts in her beef and never thinks
of covering it. The smoke and
steam from it goes to the very cell
ing. After she cooks it this wav
until it begins to look like an old
rubber shoe sole she calls it done.
And when you 90 10 eat it there is
no more taste to it than to a chip.
Now if you want good bit of steak,
have a clear, hot fire, set your clean
empty pan on spot, cover it up,
then pound your steak, and when
your pan is very hot lay in your
steak and cover quickly. AS soon
as it has crisped enough to let 90 its
hold on the pan turn it over and
cover quickly, turn again as at first
and continue to do SO about every
tive minutes until you have turned
it six or eight times. Have hot
battered dish ready for it and lay it
in; add sprinkle Of pepper, salt
and sugar and cover tightly. Now
if you wish a gravy, put bit of
butter in your pan. When hot, put
in pinch of -four, add a small tea
cup full of boiling water, let it boil
few minutes and then put in a
gravy boat, instead Of putting over
beef to draw out the juice Now
try this plan just once and you will
see that you women know nothing
about how to cook good steak"

Poultry Hints.

Cora Richards in Gem Rural
Personal attention to the poultry
in hot weather will prove source
of economy. When the little chicks
first begin TO hatch they are lovely
but later when hundreds arrive
some people lose interest and dc
not look after the later baby chicks
when they really need more atten-
ton as the weather gets warmer.
Lice become more bountiful and
there seem to be more chances of
loss through cats, coyotes and sick
ness. Next winter-this is spring
time-eggs and profits will come
from the broods that are given the
best care now, and hence it is to our
advantage not to lose interest, but
to have these baby chicks in our
minds SO as to keep them growing
and happy.
1t your success does not equal
your neighbours, do not be content
until you ascertain wherein he is
doing superior work.
1t is a useless expense to keep a
lot of male birds. They eat up the
profits.
If you are situated so you can
not get lime or liquid lice killer, use
boiling salt water inside of the
coops, and wash out the nest boxes.
Burn all nest material and use new
grass or alfalfa and china eggs.
Keep good clean nests. 1t pays.
1t is a good plan to make awnings
or hoods Of cheap muslin, or boards
to go over the windows of the hen
house, for shade to make the house
cooler.
Above all things, avoid crowding
the young stock at night, for where
large numbers of chicks huddle to-
gether, some are smothered, some
are overheated, and on coming out
in the morning, take cold and in
wife Group. Bacteria and germ
troubles would be less talked about
if a proper degree of cleanliness
were observed. Shady places, cool
retreats, bugs and worms, variety
of grain and plenty of grass all help
to give us our fine chicks.
When making a business of poul
try for eggs, there should be several
hundred pullets, for as about half
the chicks Matched are cockerels,
it takes some time to get start of
hens and pullets. We think it pays
to keep the best hens three years.
They are best to hatch from and
furnish lot of eggs while the young
chickens are being Matched, help
ing to pay the bills for the young
sters. We keep a reserve of one,
two and three year old hens, and if
very good, breed from a five year
DID hen. Some of our best chicks
are being Matched from fve-year-
DID hen and a two-year old male.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir In common with all the other New-York
papers, you have been publishing recently a num-
Der of articles favorable to the proposition of
Roosevelt's Canal Committee to construct
a barge canal from Buffalo to Albany, partly
following the route of the present Erie Canal, at
estimated cost of SCI 100000. A few. days ago
the transportation and commercial associations of
the city gave splendid dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria to Governor Roosevelt in testimony of
their appreciation of his Endorsement of this
scheme, at which several speeches made by
distinguished men in glorifcation of 1t. One of
these John D. Herman, of Utica. who, 1t is
asserted by the canal men. is Of the greatest
