We're Royalty Entertained.

Since getting around again we
learn of very pleasant time had
by a party of Cottonwood folks
who visited GrangevilIe on Sat-
urday, Jan. IL. The party con-
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Foley, P. E. Foley, Dan Swieger
and others. On arriving at the
county seat they were taken in
charge by Bob and Will Jones,
who provided an excellent supper
for them, and afterward took in
a dance at the Armory hall,
where, by the kindness of the
Jones boys, Mayor and Mrs.
Batty and others they were
made to have one of the most
enjoyable times of their lives
and will always remember the
courtesy shown them and retain
very friendly feelings toward
their entertainers. On leaving
for home Mr.. Batty presented
the men with some of his famous
'::Three Mile" as a slight re-
membrance and so highly was
it priced that we understand
some is still to be found around
town laid away for rainy
day." The boys say their mon
ey was absolutely worthless at
Grangeville that trip and if they
get a chance to reciprocate they
will certainly show their ap.
probation of the treatment &C.
corded them.

A writer in Farm and Fireside says
the COW stanchion shown in the Illus
tration has been used in his stables
with much satisfaction. We have
used both chains and the old station
airy stanchions and have seen some Of
the modern patented cattle ties, but
consider this stanchion superior to any
of them, he says. With this stanchion
the cows are given sufficient freedom
without undue liberty. They can turn
around to lick themselves, yet cannot
get back on the walk or ahead in the
manger.
Fig. shows the stanchion closed,

are made Of hard wood, four feet long,

end pieces are also of hard wood and

with bolts, one side on bolt at X and
being held when closed by clevis, G..
Eyebolts are affixed at each end, to
which short chains are fastened and
by which the stanchlon is suspended.
The whole stanchiOn, including bolts,
labor, etc, should not cost more than
60 or 20 cents and may be made for
even less than that amount.
Parentage Valuable.
Cows, like men, are good or bad
Ofttimes because of their environment.
bringing up and education. We look
for and expect men to be good If
brought up in good, religious families
and communities. l have often heard
it said, "Give me the first six years
of a child's life, and l will tell you
with a great deal of certainty what
the future Of that child's life will be-"
So believe that the conditions under
which an animal is reared determine In
a large measure her future usefulness
or useIessness, says a writer in Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. AS with men,
the parentage is Of great value, and
we look for and have good reason to
expect cows to be better cows from a
long line of productive ancestry. This,
then, is the stepping stone in the de-
veloping of a dairy cow.

Authorities say that daughters take

If a bulls lineage can be traced

farmer who buys cows with the Idea
of raising heIfers is disappointed. he
is impatient. He cannot wait for the
second generation. He thinks his COWS
are Improbable because their heiferi
are not as good as he had hoped they
would be. 1t usually takes at least
two generations to get herd into gooc

Those MeasIy PeddIers.

A good story has been made
public concerning the range ped
dlers who recently canvassed this
country. Our informant would
not divulge the name of the lady
who played a leading role in the
comedy Tor tragedy but the
story in substance is this: Mr..
Range Peddler called at a farm
house not many miles from
Genesee and endeavored to make
the sale of a range, the only sub
stantial part of which was-the
price. He was politely told that
his wares were not wanted. He
departed but returned at a later
date and to again get rid of him
was not as easy a task for the
lady of the house. But finally
succeeding, and forgetting the
matter for a few days, she was
considerably "rufled" to witness
his return for the third time.
His reception was a cold one and
as he departed the lady took it
for granted that he would not
show his face on the place again,
but in this she was mistaken. A
successful peddler has no con-
science. He made bold to return
for the fourth time-but the
fourth was the last. He was
met by this sturdy Potlatch lady,
rifle in hand, and told to "skid-
doo." Did he? Haven't heard
of anyone being shot lately, have
you? While the method en-
ployed to rid the premises OF
such a bore may seem little
harsh, in many cases a charge OF
rock salt would not go amiss. =

from recommending walking a most beneficial
exercise, Weston said the best way 10 live long

as you want; let liquor alone; walk 10 and from
