The unvellIng Of the monument TO the

Stopping him suddenly he exclaimed!
Young where did you get those shoes?

And now Major General Alnsworth
comes forward. in his annual report az
war secretary, with a new explanation
OF the numerous assertions from the
army. He accounts for them on the
ground of public sentiment towards the
army. and sees no hope Of changing
that sentiment for a long time to come.
This is a change from, and perhaps an
Improvement on, the old canteen argu-
ment. A truer explanation might be
found II a consensus Of the opinions Of
the enlisted men were taken, Some in
trospectlon on the part OF the officers
might aid materially In arriving at a
Just conclusion as to the cause Of de-
sertlons. Whatever the cause the great

able fact.

A Chance to Boost.

Do you know that little boosting
Just now will give Troy a third-class
post office? Well, such is the case,
but from the records of the past quar-
ter it will require a little boosting to
do it. Whenever the cancellation at
fourth class office reaches $3.50 per
quarter for four successive quarters an
office goes to the third class. And
the Troy Office has done this for over
three quarters. But we are informed
.by Postmaster Olson that the cancella-
ton has fallen off during the last two
months, and unless the deficiency is
brought up by the first of October, the
end of the fourth quarter, Troy will not
get the desired raise. 1t means some
thing to be a town with third class Of
fee. It means that Uncle Sam will be
much more liberel with his allowances
and that better accommodations will
be afforded the patrons Of the office
here.
Now if every citizen of Troy will
only do little extra writing during
the next two weeks and will mail all
letters at the post Office rather than al
the train, the desired end will be easy.
In this matter show your Troy spirit
and boost. And see that your neigh
Dor boosts. Let the business mer
hustle up and send out their state
ments before October l, and let those
who have been putting off writing de-
SO now. Boost

Best on Earth.

We really believe that Troy is sur
rounded by the best agricultural land
on earth. And we base this belief on
actual results; on the grain we grow,
the vegetables produced and the fruit
we raise. Has anyone ever heard of a
section whose 1904 yield excels or
even compares with that throughout
the entire Potlatch country this year?
True, our fruit crop is exceedingly
short this year for the first time in
years, and then due to unfavorable
conditions covering the entire west.
In spite Of this some excellent fruit has
been produced this season, the proof
of which is in the hands OF the editor
Of this paper. Saturday Abe Compton
brought to this Office basket Of fruit,
picked in his orchard south Of town
that morning. There were six King
apples that are large, smooth and good
enough for any season. He also had
dozen Double-Hungarian prunes,
whose lucious rich red color and fine
size made the mouth water and caused
all who saw them to express surprise.
Mr.. Compton also brought in sample
of his Italian prunes. These are also
excellent, both in color and size and
prove that this particular fruit cannot
be excelled by any other section.
And last, but far from least, the col
lection from the Compton orchard con-
tanned four Early Crawford peaches that
would be credit to sections whose
peach culture is the prancipal occupa-
ton. These peaches averaged three
to the pound and will rank high for
flavor and quality. No one pretends
that this is a peach country, but MI.
Compton's experiments prove that
good peaches will grow and mature
right here on the Potlatch ridges. We
weighed the different samples from
Mr.. Compton's collection with the fol-
lowing results: Double Hungarian
prunes, seven TO the rolnd. Italian
prunes, II to the pound; King apples,
two to the pound. None Of this fruit
is exceedingly large, but just good
and is excellent evidence of the fac
that Troy is surrounded by the bes'
agricultural land on earth.

VlneIess Potatoes.

A farmer living near Troy has sue
ceeded in raising what seems an i'm
possible vegetable in the form Of vine
less potato. And because Of the
strangeness Of the thing, he has re-
quested that his name be withheld, for
he said that so many people would not
believe the story. The facts are that
this spring, after his potatoes were well
up he discovered places in his patch
where nothing was growing, and be-
came curious to find out why some Of
his seed had not come up. Digging
into the ground he was surprised to
find number Of healthy young tubers.
They were doing as well, apparently,
as though they were sheltered by the
rankest vines in the patch. The far
mer did not investigate further at the
time but concluded to watch develop
ments. Recently he dug into some Of
the vineless hills. In one he found
four potatoes and two other hills con-
tanned three each. The potatoes
were not large, but each was we'll
formed and had good eyes.

Weather Reports Save Money.

In spite of the standing jokes about
the weather man it is probable that for
every dollar spent on the weather
bureau $40 are saved. At the time OF
the Mississippi flood Of 1897, $4,000
900 worth of livestock and other prop
erty was saved as result of warnings
issued a week ahead. Signals dis
played for single hurricane have de-
tanned in port vessels valued, with
cargoes, at $40, 100000. The West
Indian station, established in 1898, in
forms us of hurricanes as soon as they
begin. The course of the hurricane
that caused the Galveston flood was
charted for week before it reached
our shores-for a hurricane moves
slowly. Eighty-fve per cent. of the
forecasts now come true, and by the
aid Of rural free delivery 25, 1000, 600
forecast cards were distributed last
year to farmers many of whom could
not have had them five years ago.

o. S. Frisk, who owns farm a mile
north Of Troy, was in Wednesday and
brought with him some Of the finest
peaches we have ever seen. Six years
ago he planted peach seed and
from this seeding has grown that is
now producing excellent fruit. Last
season the tree was loaded and in spite
Of the severe cold last winter and the
heavy wind recently a number Of large
yellow peaches are still on the tree.
One of these brought to town Wednes-
day weighed six ounces, and another
a half an ounce less. There are twen-
ty, Mr.. Frisk says, that will weigh as
much. Ten years ago the Frisk farm
was dense forest and that year the
present owner cleared and cultivated a
small tract to which he has annually
added until now he has an excellent
improved farm producing abundantly
all varieties Of grain, grasses, veget-
ables, fruit and berries. And his ex-
perience ought to prove that Idaho
pine land is among the best agricultur-
al sections Of the great fertile west.
1t should be added that the Their
mometer last winter registered ten
below zero at Mr.. Frisk's farm which
this tree withstood.

Boxing the Ears.

The form of chastisement familiarly
known as boxing the ears is claimed
by specialists to be most pernicious
practice. The reason Of this, explained
a learned physician, is that the passage
of the ear is closed by a thin mem
brane, especially adapted to be inhu-
enced by every impulse of the air,
and with nothing but the air
tosupport it internally. If any
one designed to break or overstretch
the membrane more efficient means
could not be devised than to bring the
hand suddenly and forcibly down over
the passage Of the ear, thus driving
the air violently before it, with no pos
sibility of its escape without the mem
|brane giving way.

Flies Are Filthy.

The State Collage, at Pullman, has
just issued from the department of bot
any and zoology a bulletin on The
Common House Fly "a Dangerous Pest"
1t contains much information on this
commonest OF insects. The bulletin
shows thai beginning with May 1st up
to September 18th it is positable from
one female fly, which lays 100 eggs,
for more than one quintillion of flies to
have come into existence. Ten days
is all the time required to develop a
newly hatced fly and have it laying eggs
for another generation. From May 1st
to September 18th nine generations of
flies come into existence. The bulletin
contends that no insets is more filthy
or greater disease spreader, and that
they are responsible for more typhoid
feaver than bad drinking water, and
urges everybody to keep their homes
as free from flies as possible. Although
dealing with only fly, the bulletin is
one Of intense interest, and can be had
! by writing for it.-Asotin Sentinel.

Dairy vs.. Wheat.

Contrasting the advantages Of dairy
farming over grain raising, Professor
E. H. Harrington OF the Wisconsin
dairy school says in Hoard Dairyman:
II the farmers Of a section are not
accustomed to dairying, but have been
raising grain for generations, it will
be slow matter to change their meth
cd OF farming. There are very strong
arguments however, which can be used,
and they ought to convince a reason
able man Of the great advantages which
dairying has over grain raising.
1t has been shown by chemical anal
ysis that ton of hay removes from the
soil about $4.31 worth OF fertility, and
ton OF corn over SIS worth. When
the exhaustion OF the soil by these
crops is compared with the fertility re-
moved from land by dairying we find
there is quite contrast between the
two. A ton OF butter sold from farm
removes only about so cents worth Of
fetilizing ingredients, and the ton Of
butter is worth at least $400.
This contrast between the two kinds
Of farming grain raising and dairying
is one secret Of the prosperity and
progressiveness Of dairy farmers wher-
ever they are located. Dairying per
mits the utilization OF certain waste
land on the farm because COWS Craze
in corners and hillsides which cannot
be cultivated for crops. The cows will
therefore, make this land produce some
thing and will retain the fertility in Gu

1918 sacks of barley; 88 sacks Of oats;
total, HIP sacks, or daily average
of 1869 IL sacks. In bushels he
threshed, by weight, wheat, $4,000
