that the winter of '73-4 was one of
the longest and hardest winters |
have ever seen In this country.
Everybody raised lots of hogs in
the early days, and it seemed that
Uncle Sam had been in the bear bus
mess for great many years. Now
bears and hogs don't get along well
together, especially the hogs The
hogs were ,herded on the range dur
ing the fore part Of the season, and
after harvest were turned on the
stubble fields. The hogs were cor
rallied or housed every night and old
bruin delighted to tear down the cor
rails and smash the hog house doors
in, lug off 200 FOUNDER and let out
howl while Mr. Pig squealed. If
John Cuddy was alive he could tell
you all aboIt it.
"There, you've killed Old Blackey,
the best milk COW we've got" cried
Mrs. Bill Allison one dark night wher

Editor Weiser Signal:
My advent into Idaho was in the
summer of 1873, the same year that
Hannah loaded the squash with shot
at the Boise City fair. 1t was al
ways mystery to Sam Clayton why
his squash failed to take the prize
| was at work for Sam at the time
and helped weigh the squashes.
This was the year that Tom Gallo
way bought new ''belt and jack"
threshing machine. Tom bought all
the molasses In Boise CityNto use on
the belt to keep it from slipping.
He used a liberal amount of sand
also. However he did all the
threshing on Payette and Weis9l
rivers, including Salubria valley.
The snow was from eight to twelve
inches deep when he finished thresh.
ing. John Thompson, Sr, of Sa-
lubria, was caught by the tumbling
rod of the thresber and killed. Ar
average of all the grain threshed
that season by Galloway was AZ
bushels to the acre. There were
acout 10 settlers on Lower Weisel
valley then. The Williams famil,
lived in the old "Deadfall" house
where years afterward the town O

According Co Tho Journal of Mental sud Nervous Diseases, slow eating is as bad as fast eating. "The importan, point is not that we cat slowly or fast, but that when We do eat we chow with energy. Of course where the haste is duo Co some mental anxiety this may injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow eating bcgets habit of simply mum bling tke food without really masticat ing it, whilo the hurried eater IS in clined to swallow his food before proper mastication. Hence hurried eating is bad. but rapid mastication is advan- tegcous. It concentrates our energies on the act in question, and hence more thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic chewing stimulates the secre' ten of saliva in the most favorable manner ThCso various points aro so commonly misunderstood, at least by thc laity. that they demand our fire.
