Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its Southwestern border, and pur-
suing a zigzag course in a general north-easterly direction, receiv-
es the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river ana its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still unculivated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds' irrigation takes
tie place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desolation into the sounds from many homes. Agri-
culture, like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy.
The time is not distant when large irrigatng canals will be taken
out of Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields OF
hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc, per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock-growing is one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock growers.

Mines. Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections IN the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, aud capital to develop
it's rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex-
clusively, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let US for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn, Skyar1
and dozens of rich lead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
.er gold mines: Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
of rich lead-silver mines; Loon creek. placer and gold quartz min
Ies; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold-silver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-hve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; "a smelter at Claytonconcentrator at Bay
horse. and a new 800-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers and
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inaptly commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-fv
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in its infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party of prospectors
travelling to or from Montana. To them a wilderness, to the max
es of maps it was UNEMPLOYED" In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border; and
in 1869 a few venturesome men found rich ground on Loon creek.
In 1870 other placers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
until quartz claimed attention, five years later, the region now
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
lists and increasing its population-untl the following year. by
Legislative enactment, Custer county was created, and has thrived
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns
~ChalHs-County seat, farming, stock-raising, fruit and mining
Manipulating and farming.
DEMONSTRATING and stock-raising
MISUNDERSTANDING.
C~layton--Mining, farming and stock-raising.
B~onanza-Mining.
~CuSter-Mning.
Stanley-Placer and quartz mining, and grazing land.
Custer county also has numerous large valleys where farming
and stock-raising is pursued to a great extent, viz Big Lost Riv-
er valley; Thousand Spring: Round; Pahsamaroi; East Fork; An
telope and Stanley.
Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard it is as large as the State of Connecticut, and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
no, it is reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east,
and this road will probably be extended to ChalHs next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot to Challis. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.

HERE AND THERE.

The way to get out of the danger
Gus ruts of farming in which your re-
spected father farmed before you, and
the way his father before him, is to
read what other men are doing in
the farming line.
The main reasons why farmers
should grade up their cattle are that
such cattle cost no more to feed and
house, and make far more and better
beef, letter milk, and consequently sell
for more money.
If you want eggs and have a hen
that lays more of them than any other,
keep her regardless of her brood or
breed. If you care more for beauty
than iintility get rid of her, because,
perhaps she is not good to look at
1t is best to hatch turkeys in the
natural way That is, by letting the
turkey hens lit on them, for the young
need the guidance and protection of a
natursl mother They are natural
rambEsrs, and sedentary life does not
agree with their constitutions.
LII the name OF humanity do not
build any more barbed-wire fences
They are as dangerous as they are
unnecessary. good woven-Wire fence
is better every way. The animals can
see 1t, and will not be injured by It.
Many farmers neglect to water
young calves, thereby causing them
much suffering. They need water as
well as older cattle, and should have
II twice d day at least.
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1904-01-09
Look After the Pigs.

Now, before severe weather sets in,
is the time to push your pigs. The same
food will make more flesh in warm
than in cold weather. The average
tenant or small farmer has not count
ed the value of fat hog for his family.
A good hog, ten to twelve months old
can be grown upon the Stops of any
family. Many families could feed two
or three and never miss what they eat.
This hog should now wewigh $50
pounds or more. Such hog is worth
more than thirty dollars to the family.
If you have not provided for this
fall, now is the time to look out for
next fall Get a few pigs and try the
experiment.
Almost any of the improved breeds
will do. The Yorkshires are being es-
pecially recommended for this purpose.
They are perhaps worthy a good trial.
They make more meat and less lard.
Keep pig or few pigs, but be sure
to keep clean pig-pen. 1t is easily
done when once you fix for it. Have a
good, tight floor and slant it so that all
the dorppings will be easily collected
and carried to the farm or garden
