John Hays Literary Efforts.

the author of the story in Lippin-

interest of we'll plotted fiction in ad-
dition to the sympathetic desire that
prevails to read everything that was
produced by SO distinguished an
American as our lamented Secretary
of State.
Mr.. Hays subject, like that me-
morable first story of the world, has
to do with woman and an apple.

us that broad shouldered

power of versatility as well as the
defIness of cons truction which
springs complete surprise at the
story's end.
The high place won by John Hay
in the hearts of the American peo-
pie and, indeed, in the esteem OF
the whole world-will throw light
of peculiar interest upon this story.
All who read it will wonder to what
flights of sustained narrative power
this brilliant and versatile mind
might have attained had he devoted
himself more exclusively to letters.

Extension of Corn Growing.

Corn is needed in our rotations.
Wheat cannot be raised on the same
ground continuously. Many farms in
Idaho are becoming less fertile than
formerly from this very cause, and q
change must be made. A systematic
and rational rotation should be prac-
ticed Wheat should be followed by
some rotation crop, such as clove-,
and this by corn. Wheat could then
again be sowed and the rotation re-
peated. Each crop might be raised two
years. This makes simple and eff
fective rotation and one that would
greatly benefit most of our land.-G. A.

PIG EON POIN rs

The pigeon house must not only be

The SQUAD loft should have a south

Birds under six months Of age cannot

Never use straw or hay for nesting

The signs of decay are sterility, care

To produce the largest sized young
the parents should be large, heavy and

WINTER DAIRYING.
why 1T Us n Paying PrOposition-AI-
falfa For Winter Feeding.

For winter feeding alfalfa and clover
hay are two Of the best foods that the
dairyman can grow. 1t takes about &C
per cent of the food COW consumes to
maintain her, and we should get oilr
profits from the extra food consumed
So we can see the necessity Of giving
an abundant supply of food 1t has
been demonstrated i'll a number Of
places that cows coming fresh in the
fall will give about % per cent more
milk than COWS coming fresh in the
spring. The reasons for this are obvi-
Gus. During the flush of her milk she
is free from flies, heat and drought.
The grass comes ON in the spring and
stimulates her waning powers. In CON
nection with this there is more time for
caring for the COWS than during the
busy season, and prices are usually
better
A Frequent Drawback.
The great drawback with many for
winter dairying is poorly constructed
barns A COW to do her best must be
well housed as we'll as well fed. 1t
takes extra food to supply heat and
energy. Complaint has been made that

If you are going to keep cows excu-

you are going to take into considera-

quite necessary in our state, the milk
ing strain of the Shorthorn meets the
requirements as well as any. The only
reliable test for a COW is the amount
of butter she produces. If she does

"TyLLnAN'S TROUBLES"
Interesting Article From
the Pen of SavOyard, In
Washington Post.

Savoyard, the brilliant writer on
the staff of the Washington Post,
contributes the following article on
"Tillman's Troubles" to that news
paper,
When the Chicago convention of
1880, concluded its labors Robert
Toombs, in the United States SEN
ate, alluding to William H. Seward
then a senator from New York,
said: Actaeon has been torn by
his own dogs" Something like
that is likely to happen to the Hon.
Ben Tillman down in South Caro-
lima. The liquor question is threat
cning to disturb the security Of the
pitchfork, and he may have to fight
for his seat in the senate when the
time comes to choose his successor.
"Licker" in politics is nearly as
much of a disturbing element as
licker' in a mans stomach. 1t
gave Ohio to the Democrats in 1888.
1t made Wisconsin democratic in
1890. 1t elected Horace Boise gov
ernor of Iowa, the first democrat to
secure that honor in more than a
third of a century. 1t was liquor
in politics that made it possible to
defeat James G.. Blaine for presi-
dent in 1884, for if st. John had
not been candidate there is moth
ing more certain than that Blaine
would have carried New York.
Tillman is the man who mixed
liquor and politics in South Caro-
lima. He turned the State into a
rum-seller and gave it monopoly
of the traffic. Himself teetotaler,
he had discernment enough to see
that all the prohibition legislation
in the world would not eradicate
the craving for alcoholic stimulants
from the human appetite, and it is
a pity that the average prohibition
ist has not the sagacity to recognize
that inndisputable fact. AS gen.
eral proposition prohibition makes
law-breakers, perjurers, and not a
few drunkards. 1t also is the means
of selling more mean Ticker" than
all other agencies. The average
man in Kansas who will have whis-
key gets it when somebody has vio-
lated the law. 1t is risky to break
the law, and, as a consequence, the
liquor supplied is the cheapest and
the meanest to be had, for it is a
law Of trade that the profit is COM
mensurate with the risk.
