Drove Oregon Cattle In.

The scarcity of stock cattle in the Pa
louise country is not only sending buyers
to the drouth-stricken regions of Kan.
sas, Nebraska and Missouri after cattle
to grow and fatten on the abundant feed
of the PalOuse, but they are also invad-
ing Oregon. Nick Carroll of Cofax and
Silas Smith of Riparia drove into Whit
man county 100 head of yearlngs and
two year-Olds this week from Oregon.
They were purchased in the Grand
ROnde valley and good prices paid MIR
Smith will winter his portion of the
band on the Snake river ranges at Ri
paria, and Mr.. Carroll will keep his on
his farm near Colfax. These moves OF
buyers clearly Indicate that the supply
of cattle was sold down too close last
year, or that sufficient young stock was
not bred. The demand for young cattle
is active and prices are high. Many
ranch owners are asking for stock of
this kind and will winter what they have
feed for, or all they can buy. AS high
as $25 head has been offered for year
lings past by farmers wishing to iced
through the winter.

Smells Red Feather, Arrested for
Horse Stealing at Bsrthoid I!
Not Guilty
Was Tried Before a Grand Jury a
Glasgow, Mont, and There
Acquitted.
John Parks, an old Resident Of Ne
Lean County, Dies Suddenly
Of Pneumonia

claimed that he stole four
horses between Fort eBuford.
and Cu1bertson. Montana.
Smells was arrested by Chas.
Stafford, a detective for the.
stock association in the state.
of Montana, and he was in Jail.
al Glasgow Mont, for over
three months. Smells wa. taken
away from the reservation by
the consent O the agent.
Most all of the Indians felt
very badly about the young
man. because they knew that
Smells was not a thief. The"
Indians looked upon the agent
as their leader; had a talk with
him for help. but it was all.
hopeless as the agent himself
believed that Smells was not
innocent, nor did any of the
whites on thes reservation try
to give any good advice to the
Indians about what they should.
do, and thus they were left to
their own resources for help.
His trial was set for Novem-
Der 10, 1901 at Glasgow. The
following names were sent to
appear. at the court, Thomas
Richards: u. $. Ind. Agt., Mr.
C.. w. Hoffman. Mr. Joseph
Packineau, Bear in the Water,
Red Feather and Mrs. Smells.
Mr.. c.. +. Hurd. attorney atlaw
Of Glasgow, defended Smells,
and Mr.. Huref had two lawyers
to fight against, hired by the
MISREPRESENTATION. Aren't Rich

lailed to appear in couft.
In spite Of all the witnesses
that Stafford had secured, they

RURAL DELIVERY.
How the system Has Materially Add
ed TO the Cash Value of
Farm Lands.

The most recent provisions of the
rural delivery system make every wag-
on a post Office and a money order
office as well. Stamps are sold, money
orders are both issued and paid, and
letters are registered. The carriers
are allowed to deliver packages, other
than mail parcels, when such tasks do
not interfere with prompt service.
The farmers were at first inclined to
look at the plan as short lived. The re.
ceptacles which they prepared for the
mail were, in thousands of instances,
of the crudest material that could be
found about the farms. Tomato cans,
stove pipes turned on end, cigar boxes
and tin pals all served for mail boxes,
and one farmer in Washington coun.
ty, Pa, constructed box by making
over an old hobby horse and mount.
ing it upon stake in front Of his gate.
The carrier often discovered the box
nailed to the nearest fence. or attached
TO tree halfway between the road
and the family residence, instead OF
being within easy reach Of the mail
wagon.
II is estimated that the value of land
along rural delivery routes has in.
creased from two to five dollars an
acre. Then, too, there is an educa-
tional value in the rural free delivery,
in that thousands more magazines and
periodicals are finding their way to
peoples homes. The oldest route in
the United States runs out from Hope.
Ind. More carriers are now making
daily rounds within the boundaries OF
this state. If they went in a straight
line in relays they would cross the
continent every day. The total length
of the routes is 5,395 miles, and the
area covered is s,914 square miles
They serve 196,712 people who two
years ago were compelled TO travel
from one to ten miles for their mail.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN,

Those people who consider milking
irksome will never make good dairy.
men.
1t is not always the man, with the
biggest herd of cows who clears the
most money from his dairy.
Despite all of the. laws TO the con.
trary, skinned cheese is yet sold for
"full cream" and oleomargarine for
real butter. Where is the remedy?
1t is a parody on cleanliness to try
to strain filth out of milk when il
might have been obviated by the ex-
ercise of the most ordinary precau-
tions.
1t is a curious fact, and vet true.
that some of the most profitable mo-
ments anyone engaged in dairying
can spend are in repeated washing Of
the hands.
While ii pays to raise hogs in con-
junction with the dairy, ii never has
or never will pay the manufactory to
keep the swine quartered near cheese

The mast is of tubing, the pitman

wires for throwing the mill out of

HOW TO PIT POTATOES.
Ohio Farmer Describes n Method
which He Found to he Success
full for several Years

Having had some experience in pit
ting potatoes and with good success
] will give my method. Select a slop
ing spot of ground. Take your spade
and make ditch three and a hall
feet wide and eight to ten inches
deep, throwing the ground to either
side. Make the bottom smooth sc
you can use wire scoop next spring
when you take the potatoes out
Make the length of ditch to suit the
amount. Dump in your potatoes, pill
ing them as high as you can. Now
shovel earth right on them to the
depth of six inches. Let them alone
now till cold weather. Let all the
rain that falls till then go right
through them. 1t won't hurt them,
tell you, for tried it. 1t will surely
keep them from sprouting in the
spring. When cold weather ap
proaches cover them with six inches
of straw, on top of this put six tc
eight inches more of earth. Let II
freeze within two inches of potatoes
then put on good coat of manure
which will stop the frost from going
any further, and when you open in
early May you will find them perfect
for seed. Be sure and have the out
side ditch as deep or deeper than the
one in which the potatoes are.-J. r

A windmill is apt to be a very

many attempts have been made with
varying success to beautify these very
useful and economical power produc-

nature and mechanics are sometimes

and as side rails of ladder, it being
necessary only to provide rounds.
