and the box ventilated. The pans had
become dry, as the liquid had changed
into a gas, which, being much heavier
than air, had sunk down amongst the
peas, penetrating them and killing the
weevils. The quantity Of carbon bisul-
phide used by us was larger than that
usually recommended, as pound or a
pound and half is generally considered
sufficient for 100 bushels of peas, but we

has an acrid taste, and an odor like that
of rotten eggs. The vapor is more than
two and half times as heavy as air
Carbon bisulphide may be purchased in
small quantities from any druggist at
about 80 cents per pound, or 40 cents

rates can be given by the druggist. The

| bisulphide is not only combustible, but
1t is very explosive when mixed with
air. Great care should, therefore, be
taken to treat the peas in the daytime
only, for light or flame of any kind
brought near the liquid may cause a
serious explosion; and smoking near it
should be positively prohibited. More
over, the vapor should not be inhaled, as
1t is very injurious, even small por-
ton causing headache, giddiness and
nausea. The treatment with carbon BIZ
sulphide should be made in boxes, bar
rels, or bug houses located some dis

farm. With the strict observation of the
preceding precautions, no one should
hesitate to use the carbon bisulphide
AS matter of fact, we have never heard
of any bad results following its use in
the treatment of peas"

Feed Cows Twice a Day.

Being fed twice a day the COWS are
more contented than if fed oftener in
little dabs several times day, it not
only makes more work, but keeps the
COWS on the constant lookout for some-
thing to eat And l, for one, do not
care to have them bawling at me ev-
cry time pass before them. 1t seems
that the way of feeding cows that
have mentioned, is the most natural.
Cows in pasture will eat until they are
satisfied, then lie down and thorough
ly masticate the food they have eaten.
1t is then they do their best. They do
not generally fill up more than twice
day, therefore, in winter we feed
beautifully the same number of times.

The study Of ArricuItrr.

The study of agriculture is quite sure
to become part of the public school
curriculum before many years. Some
of the school boards in the western
towns have already recommended the
study of horticulture and viticulture.
This is in line of progression and is
exactly what is needed in sections
where agriculture flourishes in its
broadcast sense. Even in city schools
1t would not be bad idea to teach the
general principles of agriculture. hor-

plain skirts will be trimmed en- baya-
dere, and not in perpendicular lines as
hitherto, while gaugings are having a
tremendous vogue on skirts, blouses
and bodices.
Blouses, by the way, fill large por-
ton of the immediate horizon, in all
manner of materials and in a variety
of shapes. Women are evincing a
great prediction for blouses made of
soft Japanese materials. AS a rule
these graceful little garments are very
full and loose, with roomy, comforta-
BILE sleeves. They are most pictur-
esque, and show OFF to the best advan-
tage when worn with cream or dark
| blue cloth or serge skirts, being usu-
| ally made of brightly colored crepon or
soft batiste, with Japanese patterns
and designs stamped on them. Very
often white linen collars are worn
| with them, and then it is usual for a
black satin tie to be wound round the
neck and passed through straps of the
blouse material from throat to waist in
front, although some people prefer
them quite collarless with cross-cver
fronts.
Fur is extensively used as trim
ming for both dresses and costumes

evening dresses of the most diaphanous

He bought the place so as to be out
of the world for a little while every
summer, but he has had the liveliest
kind OF a time denying the rumors that
have gone out about it. In the first
place it was announced that he had
bought the entire town, which would
have made him landed proprietor
with 250,000 acres in his possession.
Then it was declared that he was going
to establish game preserve, and he
received letters from all over the
United States, at the rate of half a
dozen a day. offering him all sorts of
animals and birds to stock his place
with and making all sorts of offers.
The thing got to be a nuisance.
AS matter of fact the senator's es-
tate is about as modest an affair as
anybody could ask for. His live stock
consists of two cows and one horse and
he keeps hired man. When he looks
out of his window just after the first
frosts come in early September he sees
miles and miles of the most beautiful
forest colors to be found in the world,
and in the midst of such delights he
loafs and invites his soul.
The senator has one Of the most
beautiful places imaginable at Madison,

ther glorification of evening frocks,
which tend to overleap all previous
records in point of extravagant detail.
Early winter walking gowns are of
the most elaborate modes. Of the two
shown in the illustration the one
which is trimmed so tastefully with
fur is made in ivory-white corduroy,
with quite new kind of skirt, very
finely plated, and adorned near the
hem with two bands of beaver. An
original trimming, which runs in long
sists of applique discs of beaver-col-
ored velvet surrounded with little en-
broidered wheels in black and white
mohair braid. This effective trimming
appears also on the bodice, which is
cut with coat-shaped sides and ar
ranged also with cape epaulettes of the
ivory-white corduroy bordered with
beaver. The waistbelt is of beaver
colored velvet, finished with loops, and
ends at the back below the waist,
while the upper sleeves are made of
corduroy, and the under sleeves OF
tucked chiffon, drawn into beaver vel
vet cuffs, adorned with ivory-white
silk braid.
The other gown is made in very fine
white faced cloth. The plated skirt
has short tucked drapery of cloth on
either side, while down the center of
the front there is wide panel of very
handsome trimming consisting OF cir
cular motifs of white embroidered gui-
pure, trimmed with gathered frills of
white Valenciennes lace. Similar mo-
tits in larger size appear at intervals
upon the skirt berdered with white
silk tassels The bodice is arranged
with a similar kind of trimming laid
over deep yoke of tucked white chif-
fon, which covers; the whole of the up.

of poor old Billy's land grant to the
court of private land claims. He was
justly entitled to millions and he died
a year or two later in the charity ward

That is not the worst OF it. Congress
not only refuses to submit to the cour.

claims which cannot be adjudicated in
any other way; but in cases which
have been passed upon by the court OF
claims it refuses to act. Claims in
volving millions of dollars which thu

fixed sums to claimants still remain
unsatisfed, because congress refuses to
make the necessary appropriations,

Alcohol from Potatoes.

The use of potato alcohol to furnish
light, heat and motive power has been
developed very rapidly and to very
high degree in Germany. Germany pro-
duces about 55,O0O,O0O tons of potatoes
year, and uses for human food, stock
food and starch only about 35,0OO,OOO
tons. The remainder is converted into
alcohol and used as power generator
for both land and water motors and for
cooking. heating and lighting. The al
cohol vapor is burned like gas in chan
deliers and street lamps and gives
very bright light. In districts distant
from mines it is cheaper than coal. 1t
is claimed that a ton of potatoee will
generate as much candle power or horse
power as a ton and half of anthracite

The president generally picks one Of

Tennis is not so popular among pub
lie men in Washington as it was few
years before the lazier game of golf
came into vogue, but it is growing
again in esteem When Olney was sec
retarv of state under Cleveland he was
regarded as the best player in Wash
ineton and it was the only form of ex-
ercise he took. Senator Lodge is also
a fine player, though he seldom gets a
chance. Ever since he was old enough
to straddle horse he has been addicted
to riding, and he has the best seat OF
any public man in Washington.

Additional Local.


A great deal of excitement was ere
ated this week by the arrest OF several
parties we'll known here charged with
horse stealing. The arrests were the
result of the sale Of ITO head OF horses
here last week by VIM. Rookie and Joe
Garfield to Jas. Lowe. The horses were
driven to Sites late last week and were
loaded for shipment east when Garfield
was arrested, charged with stealing
horses from Salmon river parties. The
Lowe Bros. and viii Filler went on with
the horses to Spokane, where Eller and
Ike Lowe were arrested on the charge OF
receiving stolen property. Later Rookie
arrived in Spokane and was also arrest
ed and the. three were brought back to
Grangeville by Sheriff Seay. 1t seems
that part payment had been made on
! the horses here and the balance was to
I be paid when the animals arrived in
Missouri, where Jas. Lowe had hastened
on the through train to make the neces-
sary ARA ngements, thereby escaping
warrant issued for his arrest. The
horses were held in Spokane until ex-
amined, when abont 20 head were held
as stolen property and the rest of the
shipment forwarded to its destination.
In the meantime Dick Upton had been
arrested Oh the same charge. Eller,
Upton and Garfield easily secured bond
and were released. Three separate
charges were fled against Rookie and he
+ was held under $500 bond which, we
learn, has been furnished. 1t is said
that the Idaho county. stock association
, is back of the prosecution and will push
it to the limit. We do not believe in
stock rustiing'' and think it should be
summarily dealt with, but from what
we have been able to learn the present
action is liable to result in nothing but
, heavy expense to the County.
