Gently, its great feeding value
had not been discovered. When
properly handled it is without ques-
ton the best forage for dairy and
growing cattle that grows. But
there is no crop that deter1oates
more rapidly from careless handling
than lucern. Amateur growers Of

cutting the first crop soon enough
The late cutting of the frs
crop seems to injure the plan
more than at any other time

ditch will cut of from the main ditch
along about Mr.. Fifer's ranch and
run about half way between the river
and the main ditch. At present
ranchers near the river are altogether
too far from the source of supply
By having an abundant supply of
water in the spring and early sum
mer the ground can be so thoroughly
soaked that the effect of the dry
season will not be so serious. As
there are some crops that require
much less water than others, there
is chance for considerable head
work by the individual ranchmen to
use their water to the best adv antage.

Commission men and retail fruit
dealers who visit the exposition, and
they are here in considerable numbers,
always visit the western horticultural
and agricultural departments Those
who have had experience in handling
fruits from the west refer to the fact
that fruit from our section ships
better and possesses keeping qualities
unknown to other localities. Then
frequent reference is made to the
quality of western grains and flour,
and western mutton, much of which
Is sold in the Philadelphia, New
York and Boston markets. The
fact is that California set the pace
years ago for big things and brigh1
advertising, and people who know o1
the west are always expecting tina
whatever is shown will, first of all bt
next to abnormally large. Others

vince many that cherries from Idah'

Snake river to be used for irrigation
and power purposes. This is equivalent
to 30, 900 inches Of water, miners
measure Tie source Of the supply
of water will be Snake river, at the
head of Buttermllk slough, and the
ditch will be taken out at the mouth
of the slough.
In an interview with Mr.. SAILING
that gentleman expressed himself as
certain that by damming the mouth
of the slough the water can be rais-
ed some four feet. This will put it
into ditch that will cover a large
tract of low land in the vicinity, and
by holding it up to grade will make
it cover the Weiser Flat He also
claims that with canal, Of the size
which they can supply with water, it
will be possible to furnish power
with which to generate enough
electricity to run water works and
manufactures in Weiser.
We understand that the plan OF
damming up the slough as described
above is perfectly feasible, as Prof.
Maryatt built dam at the proposed
site and irrigated and proved up OF
land years ago taken under the deser
act The dam is only a few rod
wide.
If this proposition is all right, ant
it can easily be investigated, it viii
be a great factor in the develop
ment Of Weiser and surrounding
country. The Snake river at thi
point is lnexbaustible, and cana
from it would never run short. Th
slough is about six miles long, an

yield from the other cuttings will
more than make the loss good.
Early cutting invigorates the plants
and prevents their maturing. IF
cut after full bloom, the plants take
rest, and the other two or three
cuttings fail to appear. Not only
will the yield OF hay be greater, but
it will be of better quality.
The great value of alfalfa is in the
protein it contains-that material In
feed that is necessary for the forma-
ton of blood, lean meat and milk.
The chemists of The experiment
stations have found that the early
cut contained 18. 5. one half a bloom
II 2 and full-bIoomNl4.4 per cent Of
protein. The following table shows
the actual feeding value of alfalfa
when cut at various stages of it,
growth, as, demonstrated by long
series of experiments conducted 1t

periments at the Kansas st.4ion sus-
tain the same deductions:

These experiments show that tho
early cutting of alfalfa will give great
er yield and value in food. The
leaves contain more than three times
as much protein as the stems, ton
Of alfalfa leaves containing as much
protein as $500 pounds of bran
therefore great care should be taken
to save the leaves In harvesting.

WATER FOR MANN'S CREEK i.
A Reservoir System Proposed That
Looks Feasible.

In a conversation with X. NJ JOS
lin of Mann creek he tells US that
for wears wa, and means have been
discussed for securing supply OF
water during the summer when
Mann's creek gets very low He
thinks that by damming up the Low
er Dobe Flat and filling it with water
from Hit creek sufficient supply
can he obtained. The dohe flat men
toned is basin through which the
road to upper Mann's creek passes,
aud any one going over the road
would notice that it is a natural re-
servoir. Only few rods Of dam is
needed to make it capable of holding
q tremendous amount of water, as il
is encircled by hills except at the
outlet. The water once in the re-
servoir it can be brought down
Thorn creek to MaDns creek without
any difficulty. We did not ASK Mr.
Joslin the distance from Hit creek
to the proposed reservoir, but from
the tenor of his conversation w
Judge he considered the task of run
ming water from the creek into it on
of only moderate difficulty. Tn
residents of Mann's creek valley Ca
afford to 90 to considerable expens
to store that basin full of water fo
the hour Of need.

THE PLANT CAN Be OPERATED
A Few Facts and Figures That Point To-
ward Success Weiser Creamery
Should Be Started Up.

Last spring Ben Hopper and 9th
ers on lower Mann creek supplied
the creamery with about fifty gallons
of milk daily, and promised to do
as well or better if it opened again
this fall. If they do SO, and far
mers about Weiser furnish fifty gal
Ions more, the institution will be
opened by Messrs. Foster & Finley.
1t seems as though this amount
would be easy to secure. Those
who are willing to furnish milk are
urged to notify the creamery man
ayers or leave word at the Signal
office or at any other business house.
Such small amount of milk is
needed that if once under way the
institution will easily be kept going.
The product of the creamery would
now sell for about 25 cents, and it
would be able to pay about 20
cents per pound for butter fat.
About A per cent of the milk is but
ter fat at this time of the. year, but
in the winter it would yield higher
per cent. This would pay the farm
er from 80 cents to $1.00 per hun
hred pounds of milk.
A plan for gathering the milk
that is said to work successfully in
many places is to give the privilege of
gathering milk to an energetic man,
who will receive a fair recOmpense
for his work, based on the amount
of milk he hauls. This would be
deducted from the patrons check
For instance if the charge is a cen
Il gallon, and patron furnis he
from three to five gallons daily the
cost of transporting his milk to the
creamery will be from three to fv'
cents day. This includes return
delivery of the separated milk to thu
farmer. If the route driver lve'
down toward the end of the Flat b.
could collect milk on his way t.
town and deliver the separated articl
on his way back home This sam
arrangement might be carried out Of
Monroe creek, along the Weise
river and Crystal Bottom.
We doubt not that the I
& l. N. would make a low rat
on milk from Middle Valley, Cam
bridge and Council The road ha
shown disposition to do everythin
possible to help promote the pros
perity OF the people of the county
and we believe its officials wi
heartily CO. operate in this. Weiser
creamery should be operated.
