Last Saturday night Aessrs, Ogilns

some interesting tests Of putting out
fire by means Of "Drypowdsr "
This extlnguisher puts fire out in
about five seconds. IL Is applied at
the base If the flames, the heat con-
verting the powder into carbon
dioxids gas, which separates the
oxygen from the air, suffocating the
FIRE. The powder Is put up in tin
tubes, each weighing about three and
one. half pounds, and sells for 80.
There are many instances whore with
even less than the contents Of one
tube, parties have saved their entire

home and business house ought to
keep on hand, a. the price Is so very
reasonable that any property owner
can afford to buy.
The tests were very satisfactory to
all present and a large number Of our

THE ASYLUM.

What claims have Latah or Nez
PIERCE counties to the location Of the
northern Idaho insane ayslum, should
the legislature decide that a second
institution is necessary? At Lewis
ton is located the supreme court
library building and the normal
school, and at Moscow the University
Of Idaho, one of the greatest public
institutions of the state, is located.
Now the counties having these
institutions are after the asylum.
They ought to secure 1t If an I'M
limited amount OF nerve will do
so, for it is certainly asking a great
deal Of the legislature to bunch all
Of the public institutions that come
to the north in these two counties,
especially when the advantages pos
sessed by Occur d'Alene are taken
into consideration. This city, located
as it Is, on the shores Of one Of the
most beautiful sheets Of water in the
northwest, surrounded by majestic
mountains wearing a coat Of deep
green pines with their health giving
fragrance and its many other at
tractive features which would com
mand the attention of the uu-
fortunates, who could imagine a
more suitable location than Occur d :
Alene? No spot in the state Is more
healthful and no place has the varied
natural attractions; no place offers a
more beautiful site than that which
William Dollar will donate on the
shore Of Fernan lake, yet he d Ices not

The facilities for reaching tbi;
city are better than those of any
other point in the north. From
Shoshone county it is a short ride by
rail and boat to This city; from
Latah, Sez Perce and Idaho IL Is Of
easier access than the other proposed
locations for the reason that no mat
ter at what time trains from thss'
counties reach Spokane, there Is I

good and supply all that will b

too warm in summer nor too cold Il

gratifying results. The average wheat
yield of the Northwestern States
Minnesota and the Dakotas-ranges, as
remember, from thirteen to fifteen
bushels to the acre, which is about the
average for the entire United States.
Increase this say one-fourth by simply
using this new seed, as in the case of
thousands of acres in the State of Min
nesota, and figure out the gain to the
country. And this is only from re-
suits already obtained in seed improve
ment.
To Double the Wheat Yield.
The wheat breeding work is going
on steadily, and Professor Hays says
that he has probably not yet reached
the halfway point in increased yield.
In the work of simple wheat breeding
by. selection each grain is planted and
cultivated separately, a thousand Of
them in rows, each one like tree, and
then the best ten heads are selected
from those thousand plants, and the
plumpest grains again selected from
those ten heads. Then you are ready
for the planting of next year And so
on for ten years. In hybridization
there are many more pains taken.
Here the best specimens of two differ
ent varieties are crossed upon each
other by hand poilination and the COM
pick system of selection simultaneously
carried on year by year. But the labor
! is more than justified by the results.
Other experiments have been success
fully carried along under Professor
Hays with the idea Of changing the
constituents of the crops-putting more
protein or muscle-producing elements
in the grain and forage crops just as
the beet grower works to put more
sugar into his beets.
Practical Farm Teaching.
All this work is technical; 1t might
| be the doings of the recluse. The
other side of Professor Hays makeup
stands forth when he gets out on a
swing round the circle and breaches
what he knows: when he distributes
| literature and delivers lectures to the
| farmers in halls or from the rear plat
forms of trains-a practical educator.
More agriculture in our national sys-
| tenn of education is his slogan, practl-
cal farm education that will enable a
man to farm better and make more
money at it. He urges the consolida-
ton Of the small rural schools-bring-
ing four or five of them into one good
sized school where more competent
teachers can be hired and a much
broader education afforded. The in
teresting thing about his boys at the
University Of Minnesota was that they
were there to study plants and ami
mails and then go back to the farm.
They were at college, to be sure, but

Danger Turks Therein-Chinese
InquiSitiVeneSs Proves Fatal.

The dispatch coming from the Far
East of the killing of nearly a dozen
people by the explosion of a mine near
Chefoo, brings to light incidents going
to show that the land in the vicinity
| of Port Arthur is fertile field of IN
exploded land mines and shells.
| When the Russians were Smelling
the Japanese positions near the vii
| lage of Suishiying many shells fell in
the localities desired by the gun
POINTERS, but the ordnance was of
such a defective quality that they
failed to explode. A good lot of these
projectiles have lain where they fell
objects of the careful investigation
and inspection of the wondering and
speculative villagers. On one occa-
sion a dispute arose as to the danger
in these innocent-looking pieces of
iron, and bold native, to prove his
contention that they were harmless,
as well as his bravery, struck one of
the missiles with a big stone. This
was going a little too far, and unfor-
tunately he hit it on the nose, the ten
der spot Of projectiles. 1t exploded
with terrible noise, killing ten of the
interested spectators.
Another Chinese discovered a Shell
which had found a resting place in
the fresh water lake just behind the
Russian naval dockyard of Port Ar
thur. At that time the lake was one
mass Of ice and the head of the shell
was just sticking up through the
frozen mass. John Chinaman was at
tracted by the shining brass screw at
the top and went out on the ice to try
to get it off. Good metal was worth
having in the land of the Oriental,
and this is what attracted him. He
used an old nail to remove the tempt
ing object. His inquisitiveness was a
dear lesson for his family, although
the pieces were never found.

The following interesting paragraph is
quoted from the bulletin on the work at
Hampton Institute, Virginia:
when 1t was announced two years
ago to the children of the Whittier
school that they were to be taught gar.
dening on a two-acre tract the news
was received with mixed feelings.
While the little ones were pleased, the
older girls thought it a disgrace to
work in the fields. After two years
there are no pupils in the school who
do not look forward with eagerness to
this work. If 1t is necessary to be alb.
sent from school, they think 1t must
not be on gardening day"
