Money In Hogs.

G. N. Davis, living near Green
Creek, was a county seat visitor
the first of the week and gave some
interesting facts concerning hog
raising in this section of the coun-
try. In December, 1905, he pur-
chased brood sows. The follow
ing summer Mr.. Davis fattcncd
their entire litter, AZ pigs. Two
of these shoats he sold at price of
$485.76. These shoats we're fat
tened with 800 bushels of wheat.
Fot the remaining II shoats a
price of $182 would be realized.
Last fall the litters from five of
these sows were 40 pigs, which if
sold at the present price would net
$24O. 90. Figuring for a total, Mr..
Davis says the amount of cash the
hogs have brought or would bring
him is $9O7.92, which is only an
other testimonial for Camas Prairie
as a home for the hog-raiser. -

Cherries Ripe May 10.

George E. Crum, fruit grower
of vineland, the irrigated section
near Lewiston, says of the cherry
prospect of Vineland: The cherry
crop in Vineland will be an average
one while the peaches and other
fruits will be very heavy. The
lower Snake river growers will Sc
cure full crop of all varieties, and
an especially heavy crop of apricots.
The first cherries will come from
the lower river about May 10, and
the Charleston cherries will be on
the market about May IS. Other
fruits and late varieties of cherries
will afford continual output from
the districts for the entire summer
and the outlook for the market is
most favorable for the grower. =

Rose Culture.

Order plants in fall or winter to
be delivered about May 1. Get bud
dcd stock-it is more hardy and
gives better satisfaction generally.
When plants are received, If at all
dried out, place in the ground, COW
er all over, and keep the ground
wet for three or four days, then
take up and plant in the ground.
If you have sunny hillside, put
your roses there. Put them in the
sun anyway and plant them SO they
can lie up hill when buried for the
winter. Roses like rich ground
with little yellow clay, to give
them brilliant color and hold the
moisture. Dig hole, place plant
with roots spread out in it; put a
little fine dirt over the roots, pour
a quart or two of water in the hole,
fill it up with the rest of the dirt
and tramp it down hard with your
feet Then Just let them alone.
They can't help growing. Every
two weeks, if YOU want especially
fine blooms, dig little hole that
will hold a quart or SO, beside the
bush and fill it with weak manure
water. Be sure it is weak, like
weak tea. If the bugs come, spray
with white hclleboro lone teaspoon
full to watering CAM, or powder
it on the leaves when the dew is
on; for aphis Or green fly spray
with soap suds or tobacco water.
In the fall, before the ground
freezes, you are going to lay your
bushes up hill, remember. Lift a
shovelful of dirt from the upside Of
the bush and loosen the dirt around
it, then gently push it over and
cover all but the tips with dirt.
Leave a few inches out, so the bush
will not smother. Be sure that
no water will stand around the
mound of dirt to thaw and freeze
and kill the bush. Prunc in the
spring. Cut off the tops that were
out all winter and all weak sprouts.

The DandeIiOn Pest.

If those who have beautiful
lawns and those who are making
preparations for them expect to
keep them free of that greatest OF
all weed pests, the dandelion, it
will be at the price of eternal Wig
ilance. The yellow-topped nuisance
has found its way to Mountain
Home, as it did to Bruneau valley
few years ago, and may be ex-
pected to spread as rapidly here as
has been its habit elsewhere. The
dandelion with its white-winged
seed has way of spreading that is
alarming, and unless the early
specimens that are now showing
themselves in our city are de-
stroyed the noxious weed Will
take possession of lawns and gras-
sly plats everywhere.

ONE ON THE PRESIDENT.

William d. Haywood, secretary
of the Western Federation of Min
rrs, has one on the president, says
the Minneapolis Journal. In his
letter to Congressman Sherman, the
president took up the Hartman
sncer that he could buy that
crowd" meaning political party,
and commented that it showed Har-
riman up as dangerous citizen no
better than Haywood or Meyer.
Haywood, who is on trial for his
life, issues from his cell statement
that while exploiting the doctrine
of the square deal the president does
not always prsctice it. II certainly
was not a square deal to assume the
guilt of a man about to be tried
and to add the great weight of a
White House judgment that he
ought to be removed. In all prob
ability the president did not have
distinctly in mind that Hay wood
is at the present time in the
hands of the judiciary and that his
rights are just as sacred as those of
the president himself. He merely
wanted to make a comparison and
Haywood's name coming into his
mind he used it, He might have
used the name of some one else
whose case had been adjudicated
with as much force and with more
propriety. He might, for example,
have said that Hartman was no
better than Gaynor and Greene or
Captain Carter, ]. r. Burton or
House of Mirth Hamilton.

Increase in Average Egg Yield.

Twenty-Five years ago the census
of the country showed the egg yield
of the country to be thirty-five eggs
to each hen per year, the last cen
sus seventy eggs for each hen per
year. 1t is now thought that aver
age has been increased to between
eighty and eighty-five eggs for each
hen per year. The number OF hens
has wonderfully increased. Instead
of Sis, 900, 900 worth of poultry
products of twenty years ago $780,
600, 900 worth of poultry and egg
products is credited to the country,
and yet poultry and eggs never
sold higher THAI they have within
the last twelve months. Eek.

High Water at Salt Lake.

Not for seventeen years has there
been such deluge of water as Salt
Lake City has been experiencing
this week. Reports from there in
dictate that the whole northern and
southwestern parts of the city are
inundatd, and people are being
forcd to move from their houses.
According to the weather bureau
station at Saltair the. water in
Salt Lake is at least two feet above
the zero mark and will continue to
rise until about June 1, when the
water will be four feet above the
mark. 1t is now one-half foot high
or than the highest point reached
last year, which was on June 1.

Alfalfa King of Grasses.

Prof. w. p. Headden, the alfalfa
expert at the Colorado State agricul-
tural college, while he may not
have fully convinced his listeners,
says the Greeley (Colo. Tribune,
that alfalfa is the first and orig
inal cause of everything else that
grows, he probably did convince
them that without the proper
growth of alfalfa on the farms of
Colorado these will within a few
years become too lean to sustain the
present population even.
BY actual analysis Mr.. Headden
and others have determined the ex-
act value of alfalfa to the soil. An
alfalfa crop plowed Under would re-
turn to the soil fertilizing proper
ties to the value of $7.54 to every
acre, figuring the present market
value OF potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen, the three substances
that make up the fertiiizing proper
ties of alfalfa. Paradoxical as it
may seem while alfalfa is one of the
very best fertilizing agents it is also
one of the heaviest feeders on the
three elements mentioned, but on
account of its great root depth it
draw VS. these substances from q
much greater soil area than any
other crop grown.
Nitrogen is drawn from the earth
and also from the air, probably in
about equal quantities from each
source, and most of this is retained
in the leaves and the tops of the
plants, as is also the greater per
cent of the potash and phosphoric
acid. Even with the most careful
harvesting of the crop, from fifteen
to twenty per cent of the plant
weight is left on the ground, for
the most part leaves and the small
er stems, that contain the greatest
amount of fertilizing properties.
Thus, while the hay crop is taken
off there is plenty of fertilizing
matter left on the ground to return
practically as much as there is
taken out. The alfalfa roots hav-
ing drawn much Of their nourish-
nent from depth of from four to
nine feet in the earth, really bring
this to the surface and help make
rich subsoil. Furthermore, the
numerous alfalfa roots open up the
soil and allow the air and moisture
to penetrate freely, adding still
more nitrogen to the soil, and thus
the fertilizing process continues.
Prof. Headden showed many re-
markable photographs of alfalfa
plants and their roots, some of the
latter running into the ground to
depth of twelve feet. One plant,
of which picture was shown, had
800 stems of alfalfa from a single
root. This was the largest plant Of
the kind, said Mr.. Headden, that
he had ever seen. 1t was grown on
the college farm, in a field where a
few stray plants had been left over
from the season before.
The Gem State Rural calls at
tention to the above remarks of the
Colorado professor more especially
/ to show how the formers of that
state regard and rely on this great
forage plant. They cultivate it,
not only for forage purposes, but as
indispensable factor in maintaining
the fertility of their lands. They
rotate regularly with alfalfa and
find that it is the cheapest and most
effective way of fertilizing their
soils, and of insuring almost uni
formly good crops. Idaho farmers
need to learn this lesson and we
are glad to say that they are doing
so.-Gcm State Rural.

Whole Corn Hominy.

To make whole corn hominy put one gallon of shelled corn into one-half gall Ion of weak lye. Boil in pot or any kind of boiler, adding enough water to keep the corn covered until the bran comes of the grain. Usually one hour will be sufficient. Then empty into some large vessel and wash clean. It is best to let it soak in clear water over night to take away the strong lye taste. Then put In a clean vessel and boil with clear water until the corn is soft, which requires about one-half day. Not much water is required for the grains and should be about dry when finished and two or three times natural size. If the corn Is boiled too long in lye, or, If the lye Is too strong, 1t will not swell In boiling.
