The question of fall blowing is a de-
batable one in the minds of most farm
ers. The practice seems to grow more
common upon trial in some neighbor-
hoods and to fall into almost total dis
favor in other sections. Upon the roll
Ing lands which are so common there
is little question that it is justly con-
demned, if, indeed, it is good practice
anywhere, says an exchange. Some loss
of plant food from washing and blow
ing of the surface soil upon fall-plowed
ground is inevitable, although it's me-
chanical condition may be improved
somewhat by the action Of the frost
upon the freshly plowed ground. Of
course, the condition of the labor mar
ket affects the amount of fall blowing
undertaken or accomplished to a very
considerable degree, but independently
OF any and all of the factors mention
ed, fall blowing may be expedient in
some cases. The writer has done very
little fall blowing during recent years,
but this year the pillow will be kept go
ing as long as the weather will permit
after the crops are all secured.

Profit in Apples.

With the passing years there seems
to be more imperative necessity COR
impressing the fact upon the apple
growers that they must have a clearer
conception Of higher ideals. No matter
how abundant or cheap the prices of
apples may be in the market, there IS
always the unbounded assurance that
first-class, fancy apples will bring the
best of prices, and there is no danger
whatever of overstocking the market
with such fruit. Such q class of I'd
pies will often sell readily at Sc and 81
a barrel, when the poorer grades could
hardly be given away.-Apple Special

Caring for Turkeys.

The young turkeys suffer more than
do other fowls at this season of the
year if they are not looked after and
carefully fed. The supply Of natures
food which so largely sustains them
during the summer and early fall be-
gins to dwindle and lessen with each
coming day. The young turkeys and
the old turkeys as well should be plen-
tifully provided with a grain supply to
guarantee their continued growth with
out being stunted or retarded when
they should be growing every day

MILK AS FERTILIZER.
Farmers Secure Good Results with
SKINNED Product

Skim milk as a fertilizer for crops is
interesting many farmers abroad, several
of whom declare that astonishing results
have come from its use. In the vicinity
of one farm a dairy had lot of skim
milk that could not be used. Two farm
ers took the milk and poured it on their
lands as an experiment. One emptied
seventy-tive cans and another fifty Re
markable results have been obtained.
Their grass is now seven times as vigor-
Gus as on adjoining fields where the milk
was not used, but which were covered
with commercial fertilizers

Then add three pints of flour, in which
four teaspoons of baking powder have
been mixed, and beat it all into a stiff
batter. Bake in creased muffin rings
on hot griddle. These crumpets are
also very nice when split and toasted
before hot fire. When this is done,
always butter both sides and put to-
gther again before serving.

Kill Free Seed Distribution.

The free seed distribution by the gov
eminent costs $4,000 a year, besides
the cost of handling in the mails, which
costs about as much more, or half
million dollars a year, total: This sum
of money wisely used would teach
farmers the correct plan to market and
build the machine for marketing, which
will compel a profitable price for ev-
cry farm crop grown anywhere in the
country. The machine once built will
not cost the farmers anything directly
to run it, but will pay great dividends
every year.-Up-to-Date Farming.

For those who prefer to salt out of
the churn the following is the best
method: Remove the butter when in
the granular state, weigh it and place
it upon the worker, spread evenly and
salt TO suit the taste. Sift the salt
evenly over the butter, pass the work
er over it, then run the butter and
work again or until the salt is thor
oughly worked in. It may then be set
away for a few hours, after which it

Rigby, Ida, April 25.-The sympathy
Of the people of Fremont county seems
to equal that of the people of the rest
of this great country. To date this
county has collected and sent to the
afflicted people of San Francisco and
vicinity six carloads of provisions, con-
sisting of flour, potatoes, meats and
other farm products. The list is made
up as follows:
Rigby, one 100000 pound car flour.
Rexburg, two cars provisions.
Teton City, one car.
Sugar City, one car
st. Anthony, one car.
Reports from Idaho Falls, Shelly and
Pocatello state they have done equally
well, which would make one large train
load of food stuffs from the upper
Snake River valley. The citizens of
this country feel that if necessary they
can duplicate their gift in order to
keep the stricken people of California
from want. This great misfortune has
developed the sympathy of this entire
valley, and in that has done much to
enhance the finer feelings of human
ity, all Of which goes to prove that
the world today is not nearly so bad as
some would have us believe.

KNELT IN ASHES
OF THEIR TEMPLE
Chinese Paid Homage to Their
Half-Burned Joss and Pro-
pitiated the Evil One.

San Francisco, April 25.-With I'M
wavering faith in the image Of heaven,
twenty Chinese gathered in one desc
late spot of the ruins OF Chinatown this
morning and worshiped in full COM
pliance with the rites of their reli-
gion. In the ashes of their temple they
knelt and silently offered their pray
ers.
PROSTATE in the smoldering wreck
age before them was the charred trunk
of the craven image that once held the
altar in the temple of Shaie Tai. The
fumes of fresh incense and sacred
punks curled skyward. all the dain-
ties obtainable under the circum-
stances were spread in propitiatory Of
fering to the devil that no offense to
that deity might bring a recurrence of
the disaster. No detail was overlooked
by the faithful Chinese who pleaded
for mercy in behalf of the IS 1000 of
their countrymen made homeless by
the holocaust.
Touching Service.
This unique and touching service
took place in Waverly place. where
once stood the richest Joss house of
IL.
night the worshipers came across the
bay from Oakland. bringing two priests
of the temple with them. At dusk they
tried to find the ruins of their Joss
house but were driven back by the
military guards thrown in a wide cir
Gle around the wrecked mansions Of
Mob hill.
Early this morning they again made
their way to Chinatown. A special
policeman escorted them and after
some parley got permission from the
sentries for the performance of the
ceremony in which the Orientals place
their hope of future safety and saliva
ton.
Uncovered Their JOSS.
The ruins of the Joss house were soon
found and a little digging uncovered
the partly burned joss. At first sight
Of the blackened wooden image the

remained silent for a moment and then
arose, the priests chanting to the fall

brought along.
worship and then when they had COM
pleted their appeal to the spirit of the
burned joss they cautiously backed
from the sacred wreckage of the tenn
pie and after one final prayer, NUT
tered in unison, returned to the thou
sands of destitute Chinese in the cities
across the bay. The feast for the devil
was left beside the joss.
