The Lewiston and Grangeville people
are evidently getting tired Of the pero-
dical bluff of the Northern Pacific and
o. r. & N. railway companies regard
ing the construction Of line from
Lewiston into the Camas Prairie coun
try. These two companies havs just
wound up their annual surveying fias-
CO. and have apparently "made up" as
usual, with the result that the work
OF actual construction of railway
seems to be as remote as ever, so far
as they are concerned. This thing
is getting monotonous for the people
of the panhandle region and they are
now proposing to organize for the
building of an electric line. That
seems to be the right thing to do. and
1t can be brought about IL the people
will stand together and push the pro-
ject. This suggests the thought that
vigorous cooperation on the part
of the peovle of north and south Idaho
might. and doubtless would. be the
means of securing the much needed
railway connection between these two
portions of the state. Much was said
about this project during the last gem

On the coming naval battle the fate
of the Russians rests and Japan has
weighty matters in the issue. A Jap
anese defeat would turn the tide and
prolong the struggle making odds
against the army now occupying the
lands seized in Manchuria, while a
Russian defeat would in all probable
ity end the war. But the Russian adj
miral had not better count too much
on the fact that seems now to impress
him that the Japanese are afraid to
meet the issue of battle. BY this time
at least the Russians ought to be i'm
pressed with the evidences of japanese
courage for the development of the
war has proven that to the world,
and in this development Admiral Togo
has played his part. Rojestvensky will
find the enemy advancing and not re-
treating and fully equal to meet the
best he can offer in the wager Of war.
Furthermore the japanese have had a
year of experience and should be able
to take the measure Of the new ad-
miral without loss of prestige to the
Japanese arms. .,a.

Releasing Idaho From Bondage.

The Idaho people seem determined
that their present efforts to release
from bondage one Of the richest Sec

prove abortive. They are not only maxi

country is naturally tributary to no
other Underwater port on the Pacific
coast than Portland. But the railroads
some years ago decreed that all of the
products of that rich country should
be lifted over two high mountain chains
and by long unnatural route reach
the ports of Puget Sound. The short
route with a downhill grade has been
ignored, and a deaf ear has been turn
ed to all petitions and remonstrances
from both Portland and the people of
Idaho.
With no hope of relief from the rail-
road company, the people most affect
ed are now graphing with the matter
in a practical manner. The o. R. & N.
company, whenever it has been as
sailed for the manner in which it has
ignored Idaho business. has always as
serted that it had sufficient boats on
the river to handle all freight from Ida

for the Northern Pacific had cut of

the o. r. & n. at it's word, and, by
building the road through to Grange

the river on boats and barges.

Liver Trouble With Horses.

Horses are more frequently troubled
with indigestion and liver disease
than is generally supposed, and when
the latter trouble appears in a young
horse it is usually inherited, hence all
the more difficult to cure. There are
phases of indigestion, as in the human
family, but it is generally safe to treat
horse suffering badly with chronic
dyspepsia on the supposition that its
liver needs stirring up. Oftentimes
the trouble gets so bad that it is i'm
possible to cure it fully, although it
may be greatly relieved by course
Of medicine and a strict diet, mean
time working the horse only lightly.
The standard remedy for liver trou,
BILE Is two ounces of aloin and one
dram Of podophyllus made into pill.
Any druggist can put this up. Give
this dose every five or six days until
the bowels more freely. At the same
time give the horse daily 25 drops of
tincture of nux vomica on the tongue.
Six weeks or two months of this treat
ment should show a much improved
condition. Let the horse rest and be
on the pasture if possible during the
period it is taking medicine and see
that all the ration is of a laxative
nature. Should the medicine act too
freely on the bowels, reduce the dose.

Saving the Waste With Sheep.

There Is always enough going to
waste on farm to keep quite flock
of sheep, and SO sheep saves such
waste and turns 1t into profit. A
sheep grower in a contribution to the
Sheep Breeder, out of his experience,
says:
"The greatest advantage to be de-
rived from a flock of sheep on any Or
dinary farm Is the use 1t may be put
to in the improvement of the land.
Any farmer may very profitably keep
flock of sheep for the express pur-
pose of the improvement of his fields,
without any direct profit from it 9th
erwise. In fact, it is possible to keep
a certain number of sheep per acre
on an average farm to consume what
now goes to waste on the fields, and
In the consuming Of it to make as
much income as may be made from
an average crop. An old grass field,
a worn-down cultivated field, any half
cleared land, may all be turned to
profitable use by feeding a flock upon
any one of them. 1t Is in this way that
sheep may be turned to an economical
use not possible by any other kind
of live stock.

Concrete for Farm Uses.

There are many ways In which con-
crete can be used on the farm and
that there ought to be more concrete
floors In barn buildings there is no
doubt. In making a floor Of this kind
there need be no elaborate selection
of material, simply the best cement,
and small sharp stones in the
proper quantity. The foundation
ground should be hard and level
Then make the mixture of sand and
cement, three parts of sand to one
part of cement, stirring the mass thor
oughly until it is uniform in color 1t
is important that the sand and cement
be thoroughly mixed Then supply
the stones and mix all again There
should be about five times the bulk
of the cement in stones. Then fix a
tamper, having it full ten inches wide
each way; board nailed in the end
of three by three strip makes a good
tamp, and pound the mass until the
water appears evenly on the surface.
Be careful in going over it the last
time and get it as level as you desire
1t. Let the mass dry about five days
and it is done.-M. A. Morehead, in
The Epitomist.

Alfalfa Dodje

Dodder is one of the worst enemies
of alfalfa and those of our readers
who expect to seed alfalfa this fall
should not buy seed except on
guarantee that it is free from dodder
seed. Buy only from guarantee. from
firms who are reliable firms, who are
willing to give you such and who have
a reputation to uphold.
Dodder is a parasitic plant. 1t
grows from seeds. The largest dod-
der seeds are about the size of the
smallest alfalfa seeds, consequently it
is possible to separate them by means
of screaming. The twenty-mesh screen
will separate nearly all dodder seed,
but it will also take out small alfalfa
seers, This, however, may be consid.
cred as an advantage rather than a
disadvantage, although since alfalfa
seed is high one must be a little
careful. 1t is much better to buy pure
seed and pay good price for it than
to buy poor stuff at lower price and
try to clean it at home.
40 mas bSSll StdtSu, uOuueT grows
from seeds, but just as soon as it
comes out of the ground it twines its
long, yellowish, tendril-like stems
around the stems of the alfalfa,
throws suckers into the tissues of the
latter and through these suckers OBJ
tains its food. AS soon as dodder is
well established it loses its connection
with the soil and lives entirely as a
parasite upon the alfalfa There are
great many different species Of dod-
der. The one that commonly attacks
alfalfa is cuscuta epithymum.
After dodder once gets a foothold
in a field it is almost impossible to
eradicate the pest without plowing
up the alfalfa and planting the land
to corn or small grain for a number
Of years. This. however. is too ex-
pensive. 1t costs from Sc to $40 per
acre to get stand of alfalfa. and
consequently it is highly desirable to
have it last at least six or seven
years, IL not. more, which can be done
If proper treatment is given the land
from year to year. 1t is, therefore.
very important to be careful when
purchasing alfalfa seed and see to ii
that no dodder seeds are introduced
