The Farmers Creed.

More than 60 years ago Henry
Ward Beecher, the great pulpi
orator, gave voice to the follow
ing farmers creed, which would
be hard to improve on today.
! "We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
"We believe that soil loves to
eat, as we'll as its owner and ought,
therefore, to be literally fed.
"We believe in large CIR ps
which leave the land better than
they found it--making the farmer
and the farm both glad at once.
ave believe in going to the
bottom of things. and, therefore,
in deep blowing and enough of it.
All the better with subsoil pillow.
"We believe that every farm
should own good farmer.
" We belle ,e that the best fer
tilizer for any soil is spirit of in
dustry, enterprise and intelligence.
Without this lime and gypsum,
bones and green manure, mari and
guano will be of little use.
eve believe in good fences,
good barns, good farmhouse, good
stock, good orchards and children
enough TO gather fruit.
eve believe in a clean kitchen,
neat wife in it, spinning wheel,
a clean conscience.
"We firmly disbelieve in
farmers that will not i'm prove; in
farms that grow poorer eve:y year,

A new railroad will soon be con-
structed in Lemhi county BY a num-
Der of eastern capitalists who hail
principally from Pittsburg, Pa.
The road is to be built between
the town of Armstead in Montana
on the Oregon Short Line and
Gilmore, Lemhi county. 1t will
pass through Junction also in
Lemhi county and on to Salmon
City. 1t is expected that the road
will be used extensively in the
transportation of lead ant other ore
from Bannock, Montana, to be
smelted with the dry silver ore
from Gilmore, Idaho, to which
point spur will be built from
junction.
Articles of incorporation have
been filed in the office OF the secre.
tary of state by the company,
which is capitalized at 5000, 900.
Its directors are: W. A. McCutch-
con Thornburg, Pa; Robert B.
Little, j. I'll. Crenan, and C. FL.
McCraken, Pittsburg, Pa. and
W. F. Stone of junction, Idaho.
The road will be of standard gauge
and its charter allows it to
be run either by steam or electri-
city, The total length will be
approximately one hundred miles.
Some Duluth investors are heavily
interested in the Lemhi, mines,
which are among the most prom
Using of any section of Idaho. In
the early days of the states some
wonderfully rich lead ore was
shipped out from the Lemhi mines,
which paid good profits. While
the country has been somewhat
backward in development the past
few years, there are some strongly
capitalized companies which are
doing much towards showing up
the great mineral wealth of the
country. The proposed railroad,
which is to be built largely by the
mining interests of that section,
is one of the best indications that
the country is in the way Of a
great prosperity. -Stateman.

SKETCH OF W. A. CoE
Mr.. Coe was born near Streator III.
in 1871, but grow up in Kansas
and took four years course in
State Agricultural College, gradu--
ating with the class of '96. He was
engaged in raising wheat in west
ern Kansas when prospectus of
the American Falls Canal pro-
ject came his way and he got the
Idaho fever. He came to the
slate in August 1905 and after
considering the great amount of
development taking place and
noting the possibilities for many
industries, he made up bis mind
to live and die in the Snake River
Valley. His article on poultry
raising in this issue is worth of
carefully study.

The Poland China Hog.

(BY A. j. SNYDER OF SPRINGFIELD.
Thoroughbred stock of any
kind pays best In the end. The
best Is not too good.
Why! Because the breeder
gives high priced animal more
care and extra care is the simple
difference between little or no
profit and large profit.
Thoroughbred animals reprod-
uce their kind, the results are sure,
and they respond more promptly
to attention shown them.
1t has been said that where
corn cannot be pro6tably raised, it
is unwise to attempt to raise hogs.
That is the sentiment of the
man from the corn belt. The
Breeders Gazette of Chicago, a
reliable stock magazine, tells us
that to day, in the west, choice
hogs are raised which never see
on ear of corn yet which COM
mand the higher prices and even
a premium in the eastern market.
The corn belt will always prod
uce the thunderstorm fat-but
wherever alfalfa, wheat, peas and
barley can be SUGGEST ully grown,
a superior quality of pork may
be produced enough TO supply the
middle west and, occasionally, to
compete even the Chicago market
with the best hogs from illinois
and Iowa.
There are buyers o-day, who
offer fora Premium for pea or
barley finished hogs when offered
in the open market.
One may make a little money
raising hogs entirely on purchased
feed, but the chief profit comes
from wise utilization of the waste
products of the ranch, just as the
packers claim to make more from
the so called waste parts of the
hog than from the sale of It's meat.
When the pork barrel is filled
with product raised upon skim
milk, useless vegetables, and
scattered grain, the owner may
well be proud of his gain.
1t is a good indication to note
that in parts of Bingham Co.. the
number Of hogs upon ranches has
more than doubled within year.
Whether this is due to the high

inbreeding been carried on, espe-
cially with turkeys, that there is
scarcely a turkey in this part of
the country that is not in some
way related to every other turkey,
Notwithstanding the disastrous re-
suits that are sure to follow this
practice.
Inbreeding Is always bad, but
in no case are its dire results 80
noticeable as in turkeys. The
cause of this is the high price
charged by dealers and exorbitant
express charges. These combined
make the importation of these
large, heavy birds almost prohibit
tive. In fact, l know of only one
turkey gobbler being shipped in
here this season, except those
heading my hocks. In time, how
ever, when people realize the i'm
portance of raising better stock
and poultry, | hope to see these
conditions changed.
Yours for progress,

There has been such vociferous

count of the national forest created
in this state thaa Chief Frost Pin
chot has decided to pay this state
a visit and to stay about six month
on the GROUND. He will not only
investigate thoroughly the conten-
tons of the antl-reserve men, and
confer with the individuals most
a fected by the governments policy
but will also study the actual con-
ditions of the timber belts, both
present and prospective. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Pinchot will visit
Lemhi county, and from the prom
Use which he has made by letters.
to investigate the Salmon river
situation, it is believed that he
will spend considerable time at this

rulings less onerous and borden
some. --Lemhi Herald.

Poultry Raisinng

BY w. A. 'COE OF SPRINGFIELD
Since coming to Idaho in 1905 we
have engaged in the poultry bust
ness with the intention of making
it bring us a small income, instead
of simply supplying the table with
fresh eggs and meat and atfording
a little pin money as hereto fore
was our custom,
| do not consider that | have
had enough experience to give
treatise on poultry raising, and SO
will simply give history of our
past years operation in Matching,
and raising chickens.
| wish it to be understood on
the start that | do NOT consider our
way of taking care of chickens to
have been ideal; far from it as
compared with a modern up to- date
p ultry plant; but the redeemlng
feature of it was the little capital
required, and the success that at
tended our efforts.
We procured good 100 egg
incubator, and a 100 chick brood
err which with a. few large dry
goods boxes, boards, some wire
netting, and lantern constituted
our entire outfit.
We started the machine going
April l 4 getting the most of our
eggs from our neighbor, A. L.
Shelman from his flock of high
grade S. G. Brown Leghorn.
In the four settings we used 487
eggs, tested out rs and got 355
chicks.
Each hatch was placed in the
brooder in an organ box. At the
age of three weeks they were tax.
en- out to make room for another
hatch and placed in dry goods
box; a lighted lantern was placed
in the box to help keep them
warm.
We discovered that it was poor
economy to place so many lover
90) in one brooder, and also to re-
move them when so young.
No sloppy TODD was fed and we
raised a large per cent. of them,
and they we're we'll on their way
to maturity when during our alb:
sence from home for over two
about 40 of them were
carried off by hawks or coyotes,
leaving us 100 fine pullets. The
cockerels were marketed at Black
foot.s
In December | built a couple of
small hen-Eouses. They cost moth
ing but labor as they were built of
logs, stone and dirt. They we're
warm for winter, but were diff
cult to clean out.
In regard to the feeding, we
keep a good grade of wheat, pure
fresh water, and gravel from ant
hills before them all the time.
In the morning during the
winter we gave them about all the
cheese made from sour milk that
that they would eat, also consider
able jackrabblt meat. They had
no moist, or dry mash, no beef
oyster shells, charcoal, or
crystal grit. But it might have
paid to feed some of these.

the wild notches gorges and glens
of eastern America and multiply
them by scores. Send cataracts
and cascades leaping and forming
down a thousand dizzy precipices
and channels. Toss in promis-
cuousIy parks larger than whole
states in The small mentioned east
and gardens of small areas.
Statues of gods, genii, gnomes,
Titan centaurs and unnamed mon
sters, thousands of feet high, hewn
by ages on ages of winds and whirl-

with snow and ice and clothe their
shaggy sides with timber. Fill
all the valleys of the mountains
feet with orchards and gardens,
vineyards and grain fields bending
beneath the burden of their own
magnificent fruitage, and dot the
horizon bounded pasture lands
with flocks and herds waist deep
in the very wantonness of plenty.
Underlay the whole vast area
with ores; marble of a hundred
hues, anthracite, bituminous and

other metal and mineral in human

Through countless, wondrous
canyons our mighty rivers run

In the whole transcendent scene
are $4,000 miles of mysterious
mountains in whose rock walls lie
enough wealth to pay all the nat

crystal arches above the far famed,
beggar hemmed and feagirt Bay
of Naples, or the sheet of water
known as Williams Lake, on
whose enchanted shores lies the
ranch of that glib-tongued bunco-
steerer of the range, and you have
poor, puny idea of Idaho.
1t is a land where mountains of
gold and silver ore wall in valleys
that yield from so to 60 bushels
OF wheat. rs to 100 bushels of
oats and from 500 to 900 bushels
of potatoes to the acre.
1t is land where every man
makes his own rain and crops new

is as sure as the DEGREES of God
where wonder treads on beauty's
heels and riches run to meet the
earnest seeker. Its resources are
as boundless as it's limits and as
varied as Its ever changing hues
that battle its sunsets in prismatic
splendors. Such is Idaho the

Some Reasons Why.
TR. e. QUINCY WRITES FROM MAoKAY

give my reasons for shipping in
thoroughbred poultry and swine,
l would say that l have many rea-
sons for doing so. First-Be-
cause l wish to improve my own
stock. Second-To improve the
stock OF Lost River and vicinity,
by demonstrating to them that it
IS cheaper to raise thoroughbreds
than to raise scrubs.
While it is not necessary to dem
onstrate this to some people, yet
there are others that are "from
Missouri and have to be
s'showed." But after they are
once "showed" l think they will
quit raising scrubs and get in line
for better stock.
You often hear the remark made
that thoroughbred hog or chicken
doesn't make any better eating
than scrub. Now, while not
admitting this lame excuse for
raising scrubs to be true, i shall
not enter into any lengthy argu-
ment to disprove it, but will ask
them to visit any meat market and
ask the price Of the different cuts
Of, pork and they will find that
hams, shoulders and chops are
the cuts that command the highest
price. Now, size up your narrow
geared, crocodile-jaw razor
backed scrub by the side Of the
thoroughbred hog with his heavy
hams and shoulders and his deep,
heavy loin and they will at once
see where they have been in error,
for if we admit that the flesh of
the scrub is as good as the thor
oughbred's, haven't they consider
able more of it? Of course they
have, and at much less cost too,
for it has been demonstrated over
and oyer again by experiments
along that line, that a thorough
bred will take on more flesh on
less feed than a scrub will.
Again they will say that most
of the breed goes down the throat.
Now, | am we'll aware of the fact
that a we'll. fed, well-cared for
scrub will do better than an ill-fed,
badly cared for thoroughbred, but
give both good care and feed and
the thoroughbred will outgrow the
scrub every time. Of course if
speed was taken into considera-
ton the razorback would have the
best Of the argument, but when it
comes to matter of pork chops,
give me the thoroughbred every
time.
There are several breeds on the
market, but for general purpose
hog the Poland China is hard to
beat. have five registered Po-
land China sows and registered
boar, but expect to increase my
herd this season.
1t has cost me goodly sum to
get my present stock, but | deem
it money we'll invested, for l ex-
pect to see the quantity if not the
quality of pork chops increased in
this vicinity in the near future and
the long, fuzz tailed scrub 60 out
of business and better breed take
its place.
