How Cruelty Costs.

We are learning more and more
that kindness pays. Men have been
experimenting with animals, and
have found that it is very expensive
not TO keep horses and cows warm in
winter, and comfortable in every
way. 1t costs in extra food and loss
in weight.
One of three steers, whose feet
were allowed to become sore, gained
only ten pounds, while two others
with him gained fifty and sixty
pounds. When the first was put on
a more comfortable floor, he gained
ninety pounds in a month.
What is true OF a beef steer would
be true of a working horse or a milch
COW. Unkindness or neglect, not to
say cruelty, has to be paid for.
Kindness that secures comfort, pays.
This is new argument for kindness
to animals that will appeal to many
who have no sentiment in the matter

ECONOMY.

What is economy That is a
question hard 10 answer. as what
economy would be in one case would
be extravaganza in another FoI
the women with the care Of the
house, the poultry and small chill.
dren TO DO much fancy work or Ia
make pieced quilts is not economy
as her time is too precious to be used
in this way. If she does work of
this kind she is not apt TO have time
10 enter into the childrens sports,
and cannot go 10 the door a momen;
10 please the small boy or girl who
has made a wonderful play house
and wants mamma" 10 come and see
il. And she ought not 10 complain
II in after years they are estranged
from her. When there are children,
either boys or girls, 10 be taught 10
sew, or when an elderly woman forms
part Of the household, the piecing of
quilts is all right. Perhaps, too, the
house mother might make one in her
leisure moments, if she would deter
mine not TO hurry with it, and not to
neglect other more pressing duties,
but not otherwise.
Sometimes il is not economy for
the farm wife to attempt 10 do all
the sewing. When, in order 10 do
so, she must neglect the poultry and
the garden it is a mistake The
children's clothing and ones every
day dresses are not much trouble 10
make, If one has time. good patterns
and a good sewing machine, but do
find that it pays 10 make ones best
dresses with good critic as TO fit
and style at hand. that we may "see
ourselves as others see us.
A little more time expended on
the garden and the poultry would
give one sufficient pin money so that
one might hire the harder, more
wearisome part Of the sewing done,
and the general health of the far
mer's wife would be better If she
spent more time out of doors.

with the third slightly bowed over.
The attitude is very suggestive Of

The Farm
Save the Moisture.
sILAs cHRRvRR MASON, RditOr

Save the Moisture.
The rapidity with which a fresh,
brisk wind will dry clothes on the
line is familiar to every housewife.
Almost intuitiyely one swings in the
air anything from which one wishes
to have a trace of moisture removed,
like piece of writing when one has
mislaid the blotting paper. From
the same principle it follows that
where land tends to dry too rapidly,
under the influence of constant
breezes, rows Of trees planted as
windbreak, may prove useful.
II often happens on the great
plains, where the natural precipita-
tion is hardly up to the needs of
agriculture, that extra fresh evapora-
ton, due to prevalent high winds,
still further accentustes the difficulty.
In such conditions the "shelterbelt,"
or windbreak, illustrates anew the
maxim that "a penny saved is a
penny earned"
The effect of the wind in increasing
the evaporation of water surfaces has
long been known. Recent expert
ments show that il is the same with
the moisture of the land, and that
soil several hundred feet away from
wind break dries up half as fast
again as that near by-a difference
not wholly accounted for by the
greater shade. A lake in the woods
will evaporate only half as fast as
one in the open.
This is by no means the only adj
vantage of the lines Of trees which
form so conspicuous a feature of
many European landscapes. Or
chards need protection against the
gales that often accompany the sum
mer storm. Gardens are more sue
cesful when thus surrounded. Do
nestle animals, more dependent than
man on natures moods, derive great
benefit from any tempering of the
extremes of heat and cold.
The economic importance OF forests
in regulating the flow of streams is
beyond computation. They prevent
wind and water erosion, and thus al
low the soil on hills and mountains
to remain where it has formed, a
natural sponge at the source of the
water courses.
1T is the amount of water that
passes into the soil" an expert of
the Agricultural Department wisely
says, "and not the amount of rainfall,
that makes region a garden or a
desert. youths Companion.

AEaTl-sALooS LEAGUE ATTITUDE.
I, 1t is reported that the Anti-Saloon
League of Caldwell met in the
Methodist chapel last week and
decided not to make the saloon the
paramount issue in the coming
municipal campaign. The League
seems to recognize the fact that
public improvements are now de-
manding very serious consideration
and that nothing should be done
at this time that would tend to
seriously divert popular attention
from them. The League shows
good Judgment and makes no
sacrifice of principle by adopting
this liberal and helpful policy.
Good craftsmanship is always ready
to make concession to conditions,
and knows that success lies in
biding its time. AS we understand
1t, the League has taken the posi-
ton that, other things being equal,
it will support the nominees that
give tairest promise of moral ad-
vancement along temperance lines.
That is all right, but the League
should take care that the promise
is in the fiber of the men and not
merely in the wabble of their
tongues. -: ~.-
The attitude of the League
ought to have a wholesome effect
on the character of Candidates put
forth. The demand is for men
of good business capacity, honest
and progressive morality. This
excludes cranks, fanatics, incompe-
tents and prof1igates. 1t requires
the best material the town can pro-
duce and any nominating conven-
tion or body of petitioners that
ignores the requirements will lay
up for itself disappointment and
disaster if the League should be as
wisely discriminating at the polls
as it has been judicious in caucus.

GOVERNMENT Project.

There seems TO be little hitch
in the progress of the Boise Payette
Valleys Government project. 1t
is not known precisely what the
trouble is but there is good reason
for believing that there is some
disagreement as 10 the extent OF
the work which should be begun
Immediately. 1t will be recalled
that it was reported that the engi-
neers who were out here In Feb
uary had determined to recommend
that this season work be commenc-
ed only on the Deer Flat Reservoir
system. There was naturally oppo-
sition to this arrangement as 1t
meant some delay to the scheme of
diverting water from the Payette
river. 1t seems that there we're
not sufficient funds available for
undertaking operations all along
the line without diverting money
from other channels. The complica.
tions grew out Of those conditions.
There is considerable number of
people who insist on having the
Payette scheme pushed, because
they have taken up homesteads and
are necessarily put to great expense
and inconvenience to hold them.
They naturally oppose delay,
Government cannot proceed with
that work, however, without divert
ing some of the money intended for
Minidoka, and, of course, the
people interested at Minidoka
object to that. There may be
some other complications, or,
possibly, the trouble is not just
as we have stated it, but it is a
reasonable surmise. Nevertheless,
it appears that all the difficulties
will soon be adjusted and active
operations begun ON the Boise
Payette project. Recent advices
indicate that part of the Minidoka
enterprise will be laid over for a
season, which can be done without
injuring anybody.
