ton should be taken with reference
to the appeal from the decree of
Judge Stewart in the Boise Valley
Water Case, in which he advises
that application be, made to this
court for a reopening of the case,
Tor the purpose of introducing new
evidence as to the duty of water
during the ponths of July and Au-
gust, the actual amonnt necessary
on the bottom lands of the Boise
Valley, and the amount actually
used thereon.
1t is resolved that this District
join with the other bench canal

That investigation discloses that
the distribution of the waters of

request for a reduction in water toll
in cases where whole blocks are
owned by an individual, which was
laid over till this meeting, came up.

that it is against the best interests
of the District to offer inducements
tending to the encouragement of
large holdings of properly by
charging less propor'ionately for
water toll for large tracts, either in

Farm and Garden Notes.

The hen should never be fright
ened
Vessels in which milk is fed should
be cleaned regularly.
Poultry and fruit are the Two great
money makers on the farm.
AS a rule the hens with t5e largest
combs prove to be the best layers.
Put fresh blood into the flock by
changing the ram at least every two
years.
The rape field in July aud August
will help the young lambs and breed
ing ewes.
After the corn is laid by sheep can
often be turned into the corn field to
a good advantage.
1t is a great mistake for a man to
keep sheep unless he thoroughly I'M
derstands what he has undertaken.
Keep the hens tame. 1t is more
satisfactory taking care of them, and
there will be fewer hens with rupture
and broken eggs.
Yes; money talks. Here is what III
has to say to the farmer: Use me
instead of credit and l will buy you
more, and better, too"
AS prices for hay, grain and butter
rule now, 200 pounds of butter will
just about pay the cows yearly board
bill. With the 30O-pounder it is diff
ferent
Debt and Encouragement are so
apt to go together that mortgaged
farm can often be distinguished by
the neglected appearance of the
premises.
In no one direction would progress
come so surely and rapidly as that of
increased cooperation among farm
ers. When farmers pull together
they will prosper.
Drain the swamps after you have
proved by careful estimate that the
work can be done without too heavy
expense. Dry the muck and use it
about the stable and barnyard.
Nothing is worse than shiftless-
ness, or SO. it seems at first thought;
but upon. reflection it appears that
overwork, although far less common,
is at least equally hostile to full sue

Well Repays Planter.

The COW pea in return for the min
eral fertilizers shades the soil and
supplies the nitrogen. 1t goes deep
in the soil and brings up the water
and mineral matter needed by the
plant If sown thickly it will smother
all the weeds and clean the ground
for the next years crop. 1t prepares
the soil for every crop the farmer
can plant. 1t will grow in every kind
of soil and in any climate where corn,
wheat or oats will mature in the
north and will flourish wonderfully
far down in the tropics. 1t thrives
in the long, warm summer, and by
continued planting will bring worn
out lands back to their virgin con-
dition. There are many varieties OF

A Town Clock Run by Man Power.
His father was fine old man who
had been to South America, but who
was devoting his old age to acting as
the works of the clock in the piazza
1t was he who rang those many, many
bells we heard and puzzled over Some
forty rapid, high-pitched bells at
eighteen minutes before one; seven
bells of deeper tone at six minutes
after three, and so on. Adelaide
had asked Archangelo to explain these
seeming irregularities, and had
learned that the bells were only in
tended to approximate the hour; that
his father was old and occasionally
forgot, and rang too little or too
much; also, that he was but man,
and that hunger sometimes came
gnawing at his vitals at, say, quarter
before twelve, whereupon he rang for
twelve o'clock and wandered home to
his spaghetti. His appetite also &C
counted for occasional delays in the
bell for one o'clock Suppose Arch
angeles mother was late in the cook
ing of the midday meal. Could his
father return to the piazza without his
luncheon? And what does a quarter
of an hour matter, after all? In
Capri it is truly dolce par niente-

Automatic Chicken Feeder.

The feed box or trough at the bot
tom for the chickens to eat out of is
made out of one by six inch boards,
three feet long, with Stats on the side
three inches wide, making the trough
two inches deep; end pieces of one
inch lumber one foot wide, eighteen
inches high. The middle partitions
are cut six inches wide at the bottom
to fit bottom of trough three inches
high, then tspers out to ten inches at
TOP, that makes it V-shape from
both sides, SO chickens can eat from
either side of feeder. One side is
fastened to end pieces and middle
partitions, the other side has pieces
to slide up and down between cleats,
so you can shut the feed clear off or
raise it up any height according to
what you have in the bins. The bot
toms of these bins are one inch from
bottom OF feed trough, so as the
chickens eat more feed it will come
down. You can have corn in one,

might happen any day; that was the
only thing which made endurance
possible. The vehicle, drawn by a
pair OF swift but now jaded horses,
| approached swiftly, until Serge could
discern it held two persons. They
were so wrapped up, however, so
little OF their faces visible, that no
recognition was possible until they
came within few hundred yards.
Then he gave little cry and held
up his hand. The plunging horses
were instantly stopped, and one of
the travellers alighted.
Drive on to the stables, Ivan.
Yes, the stables of Count Konski.

The face of the youth in the frieze
blouse was suffused with a light
which touched like live coal the
warm heart of the Englishman. They
shook hands in silence Not until

She is my promised wife, and

glorying. Oh, this was a man worthy
the name-one to whom no task was
impossible.

Brace unl

Are we going to be race OF stoop-
shouldered men? One would natural
ly think so to look over almost any
crowded street, or glance at the aver
age male human being he meets. The
man who walks with his head erect,
his shoulders thrown back and his
chest extended, just as nature intend
ed he should, is rarity, and is re-
marked about wherever he goes. The
average man, and. more's the average
young man, walks as If he were very
tired. His chest is fat, his head
leans forward, his shoulders stoop, and
he has a decided tendency to .'lop.
How different it would be if men
walked upright and more like the mill
tary looking men of Europe. How
much better the whole race of males
would look il they carried themselves
as nature built them to carry them
selves. 1t is healthier, too, to walk
like a soldier, for there is ease in car
rying the body, there is free circu.
lation of air in the lungs, and there is
a general, all-around healthfulness In
it that is lacking in the loafing carriage

The American outnut.

American ingenuity. aided by Ger
man detail, brought this country quick
ly to the front in pencil manufacture
Our enormous forests of cedar and the
discovery of graphite, with the intro
duction of marvellous machinery and
all kinds of labor-saving devices, have
brought the daily output up to
100000 pencils day. There
are statesmen whose annual book
ings amount to half million dol
lars each. They give away hundreds
of thousands of pencils to advertise
their business. Some use pencils as
personal cards, and if met in a casual
way will surely have every pocket
stuffed full. A man with a supply OF
pretty pencils, worth perhaps half a
cent each, which he distributes with
a glad hand, can obtain more discounts
than one armed to the teeth with
ideas. testimonials. characters, etc.

A use has been found for the little
odds and ends of ribbon useless here

They are now used for tom-thumb

A man requires in a woman he
makes his wife a companion, friend,
and home maker. She can be no
one of these if she makes of herself
a domestic drudge.
A servant can do the work of the
home as well. probably much better.
but no one can perform the duties of
mistress but herself.
When mans circum instances, how
ever, do not allow of his keeping a
servant, and the wife, of necessity,
must attend to the household, her
work is harder, but her requirements
are practically the same.
And even IL she works hard, she
need not fall into the position of
drudge. with no thought of other
things, says Woman's Life
Being companion and friend does
not imply that an intellectual equal
is necessary. A man rather enjoys
explaining things to his wife when
the explanations do not have to come
too often or too profusely; but a SIM
ilarity of tastes and views on essen
tial questions. is imperative.
