British Columbia Items.

For the past week ore shipments
from the Boundary's low grade mines
was 1920 tons; total for year to date.
5S2699 tons. The CRANKY smelter last
week treated 1882 tons, or S33.O44
tons this year.
Never before in the history of the
Windmere mines in the camp were so
many properties worked at one time.
The Paradise continues working a
large force, and several teams are
hauling ore to the river landing.
Concentration operations at the Vel.
vet-Portland mine at Rossland have
proved so successful that the London
directors have authorized the doub.
ling of the capacity of the works to
commence forthwith. The plant now
handles about so tons of ore daily.

With the starting of two more prop

six mines operating. The mines are the

Agricultural Atoms.

Good feeding is the fOrerunner of
prosperity.
The farmers team should be one
well adapted to his requirements.
Liver is a good food for milk pro
duction because it is rich in fats.
Even in summer sufficient bedding
should be provided to keep the stock
clean.
Desirable qualities are fixed in A
herd by a long line Of careful selec-
tons and breeding.
The dwarfing of tree occurs by the
slight disagreement between the scion
and the stock.
Thrift In sheep is generally secured
vhen the farmer thinks enough Of
them to care for them.
Moss-coyered trees will be much
benefited by scraping and then white
washing with lime and wood ashes

everyone is familiar with the Barred

Work is Being Lighteued.

To hear the steam thresher whistle
in the morning sends thrill through
the heart of the old farmer who has
spent so many years working around
the thresher. TO the average small boy
1t has nothing but delight. To the
housewife it brings remembrances of
hot times over the kitchen cook stove
In the past few years all the work
has been lightened more or less Self
feeders, self-measures and wind-Stack-
ers have taken away a great deal Of
the hard work. and now the gasoline
stove removes a great deal of the bur
densome heat in the kitchen.

Poultry PickiuRs.

Clean out the nests and whitewash
thoroughly.
1t is better to darken the place Sc
lected for the nests.
As rule, hens learn to eat eggs by
having them broken in the nest
Stale bread soaked in milk makes a
good feed for newly Matched chickens.
Fowls will eat a large amount Of
clover, whether fed green or dried as
hay.
Fowls that fatten easily should have
plenty of exercise, unless being fed for
market.
Once chickens are stunted they new
er regain their yigor, even with the
most careful feeding.
A mixture of two parts lard and one
part kerosene oil will remove the
scabby formation on the legs.
Charred corn on cobs is a good way
to feed charcoal to fowls. and moth
ing is better for bowel troubles.
Make the mems scratch LOT d INlH9'
but put grain where scratching will
get it, or the hens will not thrive.
On a farm good facilities, good man
agement and good markets are more
valuable than the breed of fowls.
If the most prolific hens are re-
tanned and the worthless ones market
ed. a great improvement would soon
result.

Rotating Wheat and Potatoes.

There have been all sorts of results
with wheat following potatoes. and
such results have largely followed
closely In accordance with TIE fertil-
izers used. Naturally, as wheat does
best on a soil which has been well
worked and prepared, following the
potato crop with wheat offers every
chance for good crop of the cereal.
out always provided the proper fer
tilizers are applied and in considerable
quantity, for it must be remembered
that the potato crop has not left much
or the applied fertilizer for any fol.
lowing crop, and second, that the ac-
ton of the fertilizer will necessarily
be slower during the season in which
the wheat gets its start. In following
potatoes with wheat try this plan.
Rake off the potato tops, and with the
harrow level the soil and loosen it to
the depth of two or three inches; then
roll the ground and drill in the seed
with 200 pounds to the acre of some
commercial fertilizer rich In phos-
phoric acid. The potato tops may be
spread over the seed bed as a mulch
and will materially help the wheat
Rather a radical way of doing this
work, perhaps, but 1t has paid well
with many farmers, hence Is worth a
trial

How to Get Irrigation Lard.

People desiring to take up land or
make homes under any of the nu-
merous irrigation projects that are I'M
dertaken by the government will find
he requirements for securing patents
to the land much more rigid than any
of the former land grants made by
the government. The reclamation act
is designed. to circumvent any land
grabbing schemes, and requires actual
residence upon the land for five years.
The law will be thoroughly discussed
at the irrigation convention held in

Serious Charges
Russian Soldiers

1t is reported upon excellent author
ity that an amazing lack of Discipline
prevails at Russian headquarters at
Mukden, and an inquiry has brought TO
ligth large number of cases of insub-
ordination, and worse. Several COM
handing officers have been cashiered
for drunk enness and other offenses.
Some have been found guilty of having
left their positions, and still others
neglected to report and could not be
found at the critical moment. The de
moralization of the Russian troops con-
tinues undated, and the greatest pro-
lem with which the Russian officers
are confronted is TO be found in the
morale of their troops. Many of the
men are entirely unwilling to do the
duty demanded of them and the cases
of attempt desertion ascertained so far
number many hundreds.

Continued dry weather throughout
the Occur d'Alene district is causing

Utilizing a Few Acres.

There are many people in farming
districts possessed of a few acres of
land in fairly good filth who do not
know how to utilize them to advau-
tage Surrounded as they are by large
farms, they have an idea that there
Is not land enough to make anything
out of 1t. While it is true that local
conditions have much to do with what
this small area can best be used for.
In general way it is safe to say that
II the owner will do some intelligent
studying he can find a way of making
even few acres profitable. OF course,
much depends upon the man and his
resources If one is naturally inclined
to fruit-growing, knows something
about the business, and is near a fair
~ good market, he ought to make the
few acres bring him golden returns.
The same with poultry raising In
other sections 1t might be the best
plan to turn the small area into
meadow, particularly If 1t was suited
to grass and labor was high and hay
brought good price. All things must
be considered In attempting to make
small area profitable with crops, but
1t can be done If one will work out
the problem with intelligence.
