THIS Is THE SHORTEST
DAY OF THE YEAR

Washington, ID. c.. Dec. 22.-Today
Is the shortest of the year for all
folks who live in the Northern hemi-
sphere. Tomorrow the sun will be-
gin its upward climb among the
stars, and the days will slowly length
en-. At l o'clock this morning the
sun entered what is known among
astronomers as the sign of Capri
cornus, marking the astronomical be-
ginning of winter which will last un-
til the orb has reached the celestial
equator in March, marking the end
of winter and the astronomical be-
ginning of spring.
There will be a total eclipse of the
sun tomorrow morning, but it will be
invisible in North America. The path
of this central eclipse crosses the
southern part of South America, the
South Atlantic, South Africa and the
Indian ocean. The eclipse will be an
gular at the beginning and end. and
total in the middle. 1t will be OBJ
served by some of the leading astron-
omers of the United States and South
America and will add interest to the
Pan-American Scientific congress.
which will shortly begin its session in
Santiago. Cuba.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 22.-That Sa-

of crack racers at the track are
strings from the stables of John E.
Madden, James r. Keene, j. F. Slat-
terry, James Mccormick and other
prominent followers Of the racing
game, and some Of the best known
racing colors in the country will be
seen here during the next two months
The management has announced
that every effort will be made to con-
duct the meet on a high plane. So
far as possible, crooks of all kinds
will be kept off the track.

One of the first farmers of large
acreage to take up the diversified plan
OF farming in the immediate vicinity
of Pullman is H. H. Curtis who farms
$50 acres of land north of Pullman
short distance. says the Pullman
Tribune. Mr., Curtis has just COM
pleted fencing his farm with hog
wire and next year will begin on the
new plan. Instead of summer fall
lowing part of his land as he has in
the past he will rotate with crops of
grain, alfalfa, clover. corn and peas
and other leguminous and nitrogen
gathering plants. Instead Of turning
off so much wheat each year, he will
turn off hogs and cattle. In this way
the soil becomes richer each year in
stead of poorer. With his hogs, Mr.
Curtis plans to run them on alfalfa
through the months of May, June,
July and August, feeding them with
grain once day to keep them grow
ing. After the pasture is dry he will
turn them into fields of peas, topping
them off with corn.
With the hogs and beef cattle he
Will continue his dairy. which is most
successful. At present he is milking |
nine cows from which he secures 90
gallons day. This he sells at the |
college dormtories for 25 cents gall
Ion, bringing $3.50 day or the $165
per month. Mr.. Curtis cows are of
the Jersey strain. They are above the
average, testing 46 per cent. All are
fresh in the fall to secure plenty of
milk through the winter He feeds al
falfa hay with light feed of bran. the
latter costing about so cents a day
for the nine.

BIC SALE Of NEXT YEARS WOOL
CLIP MADE IN IDAHO At IS CENTS

One of the largest wool sales that
have been contracted in the state Of
Idaho this year for the 1909 clip was
consummated recently, news to the
effect having been received in Boise
today when the Butterfield Live Stock
company Of Weiser sold its 1909 clip
10 Harris & company Of St. Louis at
16 cents a pound, says the Boise Cap
ital News 1t is estimated that the
clip will aggregate approximately 500,-
600 pounds, and so far as can be
learned this is the largest clip dis
posed OF this year for 1909.
Difference in Price.
The wool clip of 1908 sold at II.
cents per pound so that through the
big sale it is clearly shown that there
is a big difference in price offered for
next years clip compared to that Of
fered and paid for this. The advance
is no less than four cents per pound
over last years price. A similar ad-
vance on all Idaho wool for the clip
will make a net increase to woolgrow-
ers in this state of 100000. This is
the first contract of any size that has
so far been closed in western Idaho
but the present activity in all eastern
wool centers and markets indicate that
a large amount of the 1909 clip will
be contracted for before it is ready
for delivery, according to the opinion
Of well known growers.
Buyers Active.
Wool buyers representing eastern
houses have been in the city for the
past month looking over Idaho terri
tory and working out Of this city with
the view Of contracting for the 1909
clips of the bigger sheepmen. num-
Der of these buyers are still in the
city and are perfecting plans to close
up deals for as much of the clip as
they can possibly obtain at the price
quoted, 16 cents per pound. One Of
these buyers returned to the east yes
terday but stated before he departed
that he has closed deals for a large
amount Of wool which will be taken
from the 1909 clip and that he is en-
tireIy satisfied with the transactions
which he has made with Idaho sheep
men. So far as can be learned he paid
big prices for the clips.
Outlook Bright.
The wool clip outlook for the COM
ing year is considered fairly bright by
Idaho sheepmen as well as wool rails
ers in the northwest. II the seasons
are right, and there is every reason
TO believe they viii be, sheep raising
in this section will be profitable in |
