Town-Many Burglaries.

Boise, Oct. 2O.--Boise is in the
throes of an era of robbery and thiev-
cry, evidently. During the past few

daring robberies and burglaries, and
1t is well known that local police are
now working on other cases which
they have not made public.
On Thursday night the home of
Mrs. Kendall was burglarized and the
robbers got away with $50. Wednes-
day night o. Cowell's house was rob-
bed and the burglars secured a large
amount of jewelry including
BILE diamond stickpin.

and w'N probably reach here late this
eyen,rs. LAST night Joe Blakeiey,
deputy sheriff. came down from the
Rhonimus place. for the purpose of
getting surgical aid for the old man.
and to secure conveyance with which
to bring him to town. He returned
this morning, accompanied by DIR. D..
J. McFaul.
Though he was shot shortly after
noon on Thursday, the old man was
not given surgical aid untn the ar
rival of DR.. McFaNl today Deputy
Blakeley expected physician yester-
day, but none arrived. Just how bad
the old man is injured Is not known.
He complained considerably of his
wound and insisted that his leg had
been broken ny the bullet. However.
those who saw him say such is not
the case. In view of the extreme age
of Rhonimus, he is nearly so. II is
possible his wound may prove serious.
On leaving his prisoner to come to
town yesterday Deputy Blakeley ex-
pressed a fear that some of Myers
friends, who are very. bitter against
him, might do the old man harm in
the absence OF the officer.
Meyer mind; l will look out for
myself, Mr.. Blakeley," replied Rhon-
linus. ~
Also, the prisoner promised to re-
main at his house, saying he could
not escape If he wished to, and that
he had no such desire.

FERTILIZER FOR CELERY.
What This Table Delicacy Needs for Its Most Successful
 Growth

Celery feeds largely on nitrogen and does best in soil we'll stocked with vegetable matter. In other words, it reyeis ill black loan, or muck soil. The best fertilizer Is well deeaye0 farmyard manure strewn in the bot tom of the furrow made to receive the plants and stirred in the same as to mix it with earth by running a ene- horse cultiyator along the furrow with the teeth set close Compost made of decayed sods and leaves will answer the same purpose. If commercial fer tilizers are used, the ingredient most needed Is nitrogen applied at the rate of, say, 100 pounds per acre. Fifty pounds per acre could be sown along the rows at the time of planting, just after the plants have been set, and the balance some weeks later.
 Usnally each state requires the fer tilizer to be analysed before it Is put on the market, and statement of the analysis to be furnished with the goods. In some instances, suggests the Farm and Home, such materials may be chemically analysed by applying to the state chemist or to the chemist of the agricultural college. As Is gen. erally known, nitrogen may oe pur- chased in the form of nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia and slag.

FEEDING FOR MILK.
Points to Be Observed in Getting the Best Results During the
 Winter.

Taking it for granted that the dairyman has warm and comfortable winter quarters for his milch cows, a good flow of milk is readily produced with proper feed and management If the farmer has corn silage, he is able to put up the best and cheapest dairy ration obtainable We feed cows on full flow of milk from 20 to 25 pounds of siiage twice q day, morning and night. At noon, bright, clean clover or millet hay is given, in such quantities as will be eaten up clean. About three pounds of bran is given with silage to those on full flow of milk, while others receive proportionately less. The feeder must constantly watch his animals, as to how they re- spond to liberal feeding, and vary his methods with different animals, says the Farmers Review With silage that has an abundance of corn in it there is no need of feeding ground corn.
 Salt the cows about every other day, giving a small handful of feed. This will keep their bowels open and prevent disorders of the digestive organs, which occur quite frequent ly with animals highly fed Where no silaSe is obtainable, good flow can be maintained by feeding good clover or n.iilet hay in the morning and bright shredded corn fodder at night.
 For the grain ration, feed about four pounds of bran and two pounds of corn meal, or four pounds of corn and cob-meal, twice a day Although not as good as the silage ration, still. in the absence of a silo, it will prove very satisfactory. Feed. water and milk the cows regularly; see to their every comfort, treat them kindly at milking time, and rest assured that you will receive your reward in a good flow Of milk

STORING POTATOES.
Conditions to Be Observed If the Most Satisfactory Results
 Are Obtained.

I have found in my experience on the farm that it is necessary to use consider able care in the storing of potatoes in the cellar if they are to be made to keep well and not sprout or rot. The storing in open bins used to be followed by my father when l was a boy, and the pota- toes got a good deal of sunlight and warmth. The result was that several times throughout the winter we boys had jobs sprouting the potatoes. The work is all right, but the potatoes are reduced in condition each time they are permitted to sprout. The moisture that goes out in the sprouts leaves the tubers soft and wrinkled. In that condition they are of little value for eating and of less value for seed.
 There are two things that need to be looked after in the storing of potatoes. One is to keep the potatoes boxed or barreled tight, so as not to permit th5 air to pass through the storage places and draw moisture from the tubers The other is to keep the cellar cool. Un- der modern conditions this is more ] tionS; for the reason that many of our farmhouses are now heated by means of furnaces which greatly increase the warmth in the cellar. In a case of this kind it is absolutely necessary to have a second cellar beyond the first or have the first cellar divided into two parts by double wall that will not permit the heat from the furnace to warm the air in the other portion. The windows from the cellar to the open air must be fixed to open, so that now and then throughout the winter the storage cellar may be fillel with cool air. Potatoes must be kept from sprouting and must also be kept from losing moisture They should be as sound and hard late in the winter as when first put in the
 cellar.

FLOATING ON MILK FOAM.
Farmer Loses Calves in This Way Gets Good Results from Sep
 arated Milk.

"I have had some experience in calf feeding that might be interesting to some of your readers, and if some one else has had the same trouble I would like tC hear from him. When I first got my hand separator, fed the milk to the calves without taking the foam of; it would be two or three inches deep in each pail. 1 had three calves die from bloat They would commence to bloat as soon as they drank the hours. As soon as 1 made up my mind that it was the foam that killed them, skinned the foam off Then I had no more calves die for about three months, when one of the boys got careless and went out one evening and fed one calf without taking off the foam, next morning it lay dead where he mad fed it, all bloated Since that we are very careful to take the foam off, as I feel certain that it is the foam that kills them. I have ten fine calves a year old last fall raised on separator milk. and ten more three to four months old, that are doing fine. A year ago last fall, let one calf suck the COW all winter to see how it would compare with the ones that had the separated milk, but I could see no difference Samuel Fry CT, ia Wallace's Farmer.

Handy Water for the Cow.

Water should be handy so the COW does not have to suffer unduly from the weather when getting 1t. When a herd of cows are forced to go long distance to drink from hole cut in the ice of pond or stream, many cows will not drink enough water dur ing the coldest weather to allow them to produce the milk they should. In this way. says the Orange Judd Farm CT. even when they are given a chance to drink they may not. and as re- suit tall off in milk production as fl the feed supply was short.

DAIRY HINTS.

Never tell anyone that your butter is not quite so good as usual this time Don't make any such but ter. Let every churning be the best yet
 Keep the cream where no bad smells can get at it. A good stone jar, with close-fitting cover, is about as good as anything for this pur- pose.
 Cream partly ripened and partly fresh will not churn well together. Have it all alike. When new cream is put into the jar, stir the whole. clear to the bottom, to mix it well.
 Don't guess" at things when you are at work at your butter Don't make a thermometer of your finger. It looks bad. Don't think you washed your churn out well enough last week to last all winter. You can't do it. No matter if you washed 1t when you last used it, thoroughly scald it out again this time.-Farm Tournai

Starting Celery

The farmer who wishes to grow little celery for his own use will not have the large facilities for start ing it possessed by the commercial growers. He will find it necessary, however, to start his celery In the house if he expects to have any for summer use. as celery when small is very slow grower, and even the seed is slow in germinating. He can SOW his seed in a box in the house and put the box In window, provided he covers the box with a glass to pre- vent the drying out of the top soil. The plants may be transferred to larger boxes In the course of a month or six weeks from the time the seed is sown, if they grow thickly enough to become crowded. They cannot, however. be transferred to the open ground until spring is we'll advanced.

says Farmers. Guide This new para site is of the caterpillar type, about one and a half inches long, and will no doubt be made welcome, as far as the farmer is concerned Surely, if even a worm enemy will help to de- stroy this type of thistle, what a blessing to agriculture it would be. We may be sure that the farmer who is at all acquainted with the Canada thistle will do all in his power to encourage the working of this. new species of worm.

EASY VENTILATlNG SYSTEM
How Fresh Air May Be Supplied to the Stock Without Gre
 ating Draft.

To provide for the fresh air inlet. the floor of the feeding alley is ele- yated 12 inches above the level of the stalls. The inlet may be ten-inch tile, or a wooden box, a, about ten inches square, running under floor entire length of feeding alley. This will admit enough fresh air for 15 cattle. If more are to be supplied, a conduit placed on each side of the feeding al ley will be generally sufficient, says Farm and Home.
 The main inlet is tapped opposite each pair of cattle by the distributing pipes, b. These lead into the man.

 This rack is six feet wide and is built cn posts of the same length. It can be built as long as need be. As will be noted, a considerable roughage stuff has been used in making the rack.

4 CATTLE FEED RACK.
Rough Device for the Feed Lot Which Will Economize the

There are various plans for building cattle feeding racks for roughage. Here is one that is used by State Sen ator A. B. Cook, of Shiawassee coun- ty. Michigan, with considerable sue cess. Senator Cook says that all that he expects of this rack is something for the feeding of roughage to cattle. When stalks, hay or straw are thrown into the rack there is no danger of their being trampled on. When the

THE COUNTY FINANCES.

The finances OF this county do not
seem TO be In the most flourlshing con-
dition that could be imagined They
could hardly be expected to be so. In
View of the manifest tendency to grab
and graft that prevails. The general
management of the affairs of this coun-
ty could hardly be worse than It Is now.
To be sure, it has been pretty bad for
the past six years, and the present
status Is simply the fruition of years OF
spoliation.
When a management can be caught
in a prcdicament such as has developed
during the past few days, there can be
nothing said in Its defense. When a
management seriously gives out that 1t
doesn't know how TO dispense with the
services of such man as Jones, for

airy, the limit has been reached
The money in the general fund on the

and the taxes are newly paid In. 1t is
clear that the county finances will be

through the financial breakers.
