CUCUMBER PICKLES.

A Missouri reader asks for recipe
for putting up cucumber pickles which
are now ready for use. One of the old
standard recipes is as follows:
Have the cucumbers of even size;
rub them smooth with a cloth and
place them in brine strong enough to
float an egg. They will keep in the
brine until wanted to pickle if desired.
Soak the cucumbers in water for two
days after taking them from the brine,
changing the water once, and then
scald in vinegar, or pour the boiling
vinegar over them and let them stand
in it two days before using. Put into
each two quarts of vinegar, an ounce
of peppercorns, half ounce each of
mustard seed and mace, a piece of
horse radish, piece of alum the size
of pea, and half cupful of sugar /;
boil them together for ten minutes be-
fore straining it over the cucumbers.
One pound of sugar may be added to
the vinegar if sweet pickles are de-
sired.

HOUSEHOLD
THE INFLUENCE OF A SMILE.

There is nothing, except the sudden
radiance made by a conquering SUM-
beam on a cloud, which equals the
Transforming effect of a smile-a genu-
inc, spontaneous smile-upon a sad
or sullen face. When such a transfer
nation alters the lines of a sorrowful
countenance, it is beautiful enough to
be touching.
A great physician once said of
dear woman, long widowed, and then
watching with unfaltering courage and
self-abnegation the dying days of a
lovely young daughter: THAT woman's
smile is more pathetic than any tears
| ever saw shed. Her large, soft brown
eyes would light as if by some inward
illumination and her mouth would
grow beautiful as in her youth"
By some delightful influence there
are those whom heaven seems to have
lent to earth, who have this rare
power to educe a hidden brightness
from Swallowed or naturally gloomy
natures. If it is only the CHEEKY way
in which they bid you Good morning."
the day seems Immediately to have
prospect of success and pleasure. The
words seem to have new meaning,
they are no longer a conventional and
meaningless greeting, but hearty
wish that this blessed, newly risen
sun, which has created another morn
ing "out of the blue" shall have joy
in store for you. You go on your way
expectant of pleasant things.

HOW TO CARE FOR cURRANTs.

Currants, being one of the hardest
and most productive of fruits, are often
neglected, the patch allowed to be-
come foul with grass, never thinned
or trimmed, the leaves worm-eaten I'M
til the plants die.
Don't plant currants or any other
fruit along the fence. Set them out in
the open at least five feet from any
thing that will interfere with cultiva-
ton. No fruit will more readily re-
spond to care than the currant. Clean
cultivation and liberal use of fertil-
izers will certainly be followed by good
crops One or two-year old plants may
be set out Axe feet. Trim the bush
by cutting off most of the suckers be-
low the surface of the ground. If the
season is dry, mulch of straw or
leaves will assist the plants to estab-
fish themselves.
Red and white currants bear mostly
on 2-year-old or older wood A sue
cession of young shoots should be al
lowed to grow in place of the old bear
ing wood. Cut out the canes as they
grow too old. The partial shade afford
ed by young orchard suits the cur

good bearing for ten to twenty years
if properly handled. One important
point is to keep the old, weak canes
cut out and a succession of two to
four new ones coming from the roots
each year.
To combat the currant worm spray
thoroughly with Paris green to kill the
first brood just as soon as holes can
be seen in the lower leaves. If a Sec
ond brood appears, spray with white
hellebore. For "borers," cut out and
burn the affected canes. White Impe-
rial and Moore's Ruby are excellent
varieties for home USE Prince of
Wales is a heavy bearer and is ex-
cellent for cooking. Wilder, Victoria,

Bonnsrs Ferry Property Values
Rapidly Increasing.
PRICE OF LAND ALSO
And Still the Price of Town Property
and Adjacent Lands Lower Here
Than Anywhere Else.

The price of land in the vicinity
of Bsnners Ferry continues to adj
vance at rapid rate, as does also
the price of town property. This
will continue for the reason that
land and town lots are to be
bought here cheaper than any
place in the Northwest under like
conditions.
Boomers Ferry is without a doubt
the best business point for its size
in the Panhandle of Idaho. All
one has to do to convince them
selves of this fact is to compare the
volume of business done here with
that of other towns of the same
size. The town never had a boom
growth. Whatever growth it has
had has been from sheer cause Of
necessity. Under such conditions
the values of lands and town prop
erty have advanced slowly. But
conditions are changing. Business
is good and the desire to secure
favorable locations in a brisk town
like Boomers Ferry is becoming
strong. All at once we are waking
up to the fact that q business lot
favorably located will sell for a
snug sum. The same is true Of
residence property. Ranch lands
are also advancing, but are still
very low in value. We shall wake
up some fine morning and find
that the price of land also has
reached a figure that will cause us
to hold our breath. Where else
can yon buy land that will pro-
duce such crops of fruit, produce,
and hay at such low fgures2 These
lands are located right in the tim
Der belt. close to splendid markets
Lands close to town that sold fol
from 50 to $40 an acre ten years
ago can not be purchased now for
fifty times that amount Already
you hear people lamenting thai
they did not purchase this or tina
piece OF property in and around
Bonners Ferry five or ten years
ago. In five or ten years there
will be even greater lament owe

Flood Predictions pisprOyen.

All the big flood predictions OF
the past few months have been
disproven by time. The Kootenai
river is now falling and the snow
has melted back so near the top OF
the ranges that there is no longer
any danger, and the water has evil

for the season.
For the past three months awful
tales of deep SHOWS and great floods
have terrorized people. cold Pros

with his predictions and he warned
us to look out for repetition OF
1894. But now it Is all over and
"a feet and 3 inches above low
water mark is the record. This is
a very ordinary water record-and
1907 will pass into history as one
of the low water years on the
Kootenai river.

Fire Company Organized.

About twenty property owners
met at the store of Moore Bros. on
Monday evening and took steps
towards organizing an effective fire
department.
The meeting organized by elect
ing William Van Gasken chairman
and w. P. Mahoney secretary.
The matter of organizing a vol
unteer fire department was dis
cussed, and decided in favor of
such an organization.
F. D. Hoagland was elected chief,
with A. ]. Kent and S. E. Henry,
assistants.
Frank Berger was selected as
chief engineer, with John T. Moore
and c. T. Laschinger as assistants.
John T. Moore was elected treas
urer. The department now has
about $40 to it's credit, and the
town trustees will be asked to pro-
vide any additional equipment
that may be required. The town
already owns a fine gasoline en-
CINE, nearly 20O0 feet OF hose, and
two hose carts.
The imperative need of fire de.
partment lie so evident that we
need not consume any space in
discussing it. Property holders
should give the organization every
encouragement.
The meeting adjourned unit
Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock
when all interested in the welfare
OF the town are requested TO NEE
at Hollinger's Department store,
