Feeding Condiments.

If there is any value in feeding red
pepper to fowls it is mainly in fur
nishing a seasoning to the food which
might otherwise be fat, and in this
way stimulating the appetite. Chopped
onions will have the same effect and
are certainly better for the fowls than
too much pepper. The red pepper, in
moderate quantities. is good for the
mouiting hens. acting as stimulant
and strengthening their rather depict
ed vitality, but the pepper should not
be made a regular part Of the ration.
It is not only unnecessary when the

Make the Cows Comfortable.

Most farmers think they know how
to care for their cows without the ad-
vice Of anyone, and the majority Of
them do give them food and shelter,
but there are many more little COM
forts which cost but trif1e, but which
go far toward increasing the value Of
the milk production. Sunshine, what
little there is in winter, is as welcome
to animals as to the human family
and the man who will contrive to give
his cows all the sunshine possible will
have Differentiated cows and more
milk. Then see to it that all cracks
and crevices through which drafts of
air can come are closed. 1t is not
meant that ventilation be dispensed
with by any means, but simply that
drafts are shut out. Make the beds
clean; then with well-ventilated and
sunny stable and something to chew
on between regular meals, the COW
will be happy and comfortable, and
will surely repay you by fuller milk
pail.
EugEish Farmers Quit Grain Raising.
The area devoted to the wheat crop
in Great Britain has decreased about
thirteen per cent as compared with
last year. The barley crop also shows
a decrease in acreage. A part of the
land withdrawn from wheat and bar
ley has been devoted to the oat crop,
but the total acreage Of all three crops
is the lowest recorded since the official
returns were first issued thirty-six
years ago, and is III acres less than
last years total. Some Of the land
withdrawn from the grain crops has
been devoted to specialties, such as
fruits, flowers and vegetables. while
other areas have been turned into
parks. pasturage and moving.

the criminal docket? All told, there
are twenty two cases. OF these the
two White cases grew out of the same
transactions? The two Baird and
Portlock cases grew out of the same
transactions. The two Buck cases
grew out of the same transactions.
And the two Eber Scranton cases are
the same case. This makes, does it
not, about eighteen cases. Twelve
men have been convicted four on
their own plea of guilty, four have
had only nominal defenses. The
cases of three are to be reviewed by
the supreme court. The twelve men
convicted represent only ten cases,
because Vain and Turner and Smell
ger were tried together were they
not? Eight of the men convicted
were practically friendless men.
Now, Mr.. Rhea, please tell us frank
ly, do not you think that the record
of any other attorney in Weiser would

the state at his back? w. d. Love

tiery, did he not? There is not such
great deal of difference, is there
Mr. Rhea, between the men in the
penitentiary and some who are out?
When> we were asking questions
about that mortgage, in the letter of
the Goth inst, we forgot to ask you
why you at last took bill of sale of
the furniture in that certain house?
Please explain to us, Mr.. Rhea,
the law by which deputy county at
torney is appointed, and if the law
does contemplate the appointment of
a deputy for that official, must not
his qualifications be the same as the
qualifications of his principal?
We also would like to know by
what authority of law you induced
the commissioners to pay Office rent
for an Office for the county attorney on
the main street when there is vacant
room in the court house?
Is it not just possible that if the
county attorney would have his office
in the. court house, that all the other
officers of the county would not have
just cause to complain that they we're
without the legal advice that the law
intended the county attorney to give
them? These are only few of the
matters that suggest themselves to
our minds, but we feel that we have
occupied all the space that the Signal
