four or i've feet deep penetrates only
one-third that depth. BY fitting the
soil to receive water and cultivating
1t to retain It, 1t Is possible to ac-
cumulate moisture in the soil to q
considerable depth. Where the an
nual precipitation Is no more than
10 or u inches the entire amount Is
used by a crop Of grain, leaving the
soil quite dry at harvest. Where the
rainfall is more the supply is not al
ways entirely exhausted. In Idaho
the summers are generally dry and
the rain comes chiefly in the winter
and spring. 1t is the water that pen
etrates into the soil that does duty
in crop production. Spring showers
are OF benefit, but rain In the sum-
mer Is OF little consequence since It
Is difficult to conserve any part Of it
or turn it to beneficial use. A small
amount of rainfall during the grow
ing season Of grain is therefore no
serious obstacle to farming.
Cereals are by no means the only
crops suitable for dry farming in
Idaho. Alfalfa and field peas are
also grown. Milo White Dhurra and
early maturing varieties of non-sac-
charine corn are quite drought-re-
sisting, and will mature at lower al
titudes. Potatoes are well suited to
dry farming and the quality is al
ways the best.

Money in Growing Pecans,

Strung along at few points north
OF Jackson on the Illinois Central a
few years ago some enterprising gen.
tlemen established pecan groves. We
remember two years after one grove
Df about $500 trees was set out in a
territory previously given over to
commercial fertilizer, short staple cot
ton and poor white people. The ma
tives were exceedingly amused that
man could be so visionary as to ex-
pect to get any returns for money
thus invested. There were even more
enlightened people who passed by on
comfortable trains and smiled at the
experiment. To-day that grove is
keeping its owner in clover and he
can go to Europe every summer if he
is so inclined.-Meridian (Miss.) Star.

STOCK NOTES.

Drive the colt without blinds from
the very start.
The home of the hog should be kept
clean and light.
Grooming the colt every day will
add to his health.
II you must feed dusty hay, sprinkle
1t with water first.
II a sow is good mother, keep her
as long as you can.
It's Just as much of mistake to
overfeed as to underfeed.
It's unkind to force horse to eat
salt by mixing it with his grain.
NO animal on the farm will pay
better for the food eaten in fatten-
ing for market than the horse. Do
not think of putting a thin horse on
the market any more than you would
a thin steer or hog.

the door. Each wanting to scan the

Stufhebeam captured first prize. Mrs.
Wilson second, while Mrs. Rowles
c0ntented herself with the consola-

was served.
Another pretty social affair was an
evening at the Bergman home when
thirty-five of the younger set were
the invited guests of Miss Flora Ber-
ryman. There were several games
that are always heartily enjoyed by
boys and girls too far along to be
classed with the children, and have
not yet attained the grown up age.
Grace Thomas and Jack Stowe car
ried home prizes that were captured
in peanut game. On the table
were bowls of nuts, seated around
the table were boys and girls whose
right hands and arms were tied to
the chairs, while with the left hand
they pierced nuts with hat pin.
Rather difficult task but one afford
ing much amusement. Another was
a clover game. The girls were given
large threeleaf clovers which con-
tanned vowels, the boys had fourleaf
clOvers and on them were consonants.
Two boys and one girl were seated
at table and given certain time in
which to write words containing the
consonants and vowels on the Glow
ers at the table. Joaquin Wright
was the fortunate winner in this
game. The refreshments were ice
cream, cake and punch.
The Epworth League served ice
cream and cake on the Caldwell lawn.
They considered the money in safe
keeping when the pastor, Rev. C.
A. Edwards, carried it, but sharper
with smooth speech came along and
he lost it. It was recovered, how
ever, and pleasant evening spent.
A concert in the Methodist church
proved source of delight to the

A few years ago the vast valley Of
the Snake river, containing thousands
and thousands of acres of as rich
soil as the world ever produced was
occupied by few dozen stockmen
and their herds. Wise men saw the
value of this rich soil for agricultural
purposes and passed a bill in congress
known as the Carey Act, taking 1t off
the free range list and placing 1t on
the farming list. In the eyes of
the general public, which is of more
value to the public, to let this ter
ritorly still be occupied by these cat

What Has Become

Especial to The Sentinel. J

Chicago, Nov. Failure to full
fill a subscription promise of $4,000
made six years ago to the Beecher Me-
mortal Society of New York J has
brought to light the mysterious dis
appearance of Mrs. Cecil Whipple,
once famous as "the diamond queen"
of Chicago.
The fact that nothing has been
heard of Mrs. Wallace for six years
was made known by DR.. n. d. Hills,
pastor of Plymouth church. New
York City. and former pastor of the
Central church of Chicago, in re-
port upon finances at a meeting of
the members of the society this week
DR.. Hills said that the diamond
queen" disappeared the night fol-
lowing her gift to the society.
Mrs. Wallace enjoyed a spectacular
career in Chicago during the Worlds
fair period in 1892. She was the
wife of Judge" Wallace. reputed to
be wealthy.
DIR. Gunsaulus declared that she
had given property to the value of
S45, 900 to the Central church before
the dissipation of her fortune.
