Now, my brother, if you will show
that the treatment of the resolution

untrammelled voice of the majority ]
will the yield point.
If you can produce better evidence
than the canvass made by the presi-
dents to show that the majority do
not want the office. we'd like to have
it.
How in the name of common sense
can you think that one would misstate
facts that are against his views, while
nearly all who favor the office will
tell you that very little saving, if any
is made by trading through its Office
but Indirectly they think it helps.
On the other hand, think no saving
is made by trading through it, but in
directly we have lost.

Some Method and System of Keeping
Accounts Advisable.

To keep up with the times the farm
er must be business man. He will
unite method and system with farm
training. He may or may not keep q
formal account or practice a system Of
bookkeeping, but at least he will know
just what he is doing and how and
why. If his business is or is not pay
ing he will find out just where the re-
suits are coming from or will discover
where the leak is before the sheriff
comes.
The way in which this is done will
depend upon the training. Many sue
cessful farmers have never been ac-
customed to keep accounts and do not
feel its necessity. They have worked
their plan of farming into a system
which is about the same year after year.
and after having once figured out cost
and profits in certain lines which are
of chief Importance they are able to
tell very closely where they stand at
any time. They know the cost of a
quart of milk, dozen of eggs or a
bushel of potatoes under usual condi-
tions and are able to quickly figure out
the changes brought about by new
market conditions. Very likely such
farmers would meet surprises should
they actually keep a system Of books,
reckoning everything at the start, ac-
cording to market value, including all
charges for labor, taxes, living ex-
penses, seeds, manure, fertilizers, tools
and other incidentals, and balancing
this account with the various itemized
receipts from all sources, including an
allowance for the farm Improvements,
remarks American Cultivator.
Whether the account system is com
plete or not many hints and valuable
items for reference may be obtained
simply by keeping a pocket diary and
jotting down the things most likely to
be needed for reference.

The ground is in excellent condl-
ton for spring work, and the present
conditions indicate an unusual bounti-
full harvest of grain, hay, frlit and
vegetables.
Mr.. L. S. Dearborn, Of Little Bear
ridge, sent in a sample OF wheat grow
ing on his farm. 1t is OF the blue
stem variety, sown last fall. Inc
sample brought in measures 80 inches
in height, and i, claimed to be fair
sample OF the field. 1t is surely a
good showing for Potlatch soil.
The services at the 1. o. o. F. hall on
last Sunday in conmmeroration OF the
S9th year of Oddfellowship in America
was we'll attended, and the audience, as
we'll as the lodge members, showed a
deep interest in the history, growth
and benevolent work that has been ac-
complished by the order. Robert
Bellomy, P. L. circuit and Mrs. B. B.
Caldwell spoke on different features OF
the order and the good work OF the
Rebekah degree.
In communication received
from F. w. Smith, of the Interstate
Telephone Co. at Moscow, he states
that there is no truth in the re-
ports that the American ridge tele-
phone companies are going into the
Pacific States Co. exchange. He also
ates that the I. S. T. Co. will within
the next month put in line to Deary
to connect with the farm lines in that
vicinity. The company, he says, in
tends to give the farmers free service
to Moscow and Kendrick over theil
rural lines, even after they have estab-
lished toll lines in that locality. The
Pacific States and Interstate Tele-
phone companies are at loggerhead'
for the telephone business in this To-
cality, and just how the matter viii
terminate is more than we can predict
We hope the matter will terminate IL
the interest OF the general public.

Renewal of Orchards.

Renewal of orchards may profitably
be accompanied by the addition of sta
BILE manure, either worked into the soil
beneath the extremities of the branches
or allowed to remain upon the surface
TO be covered later with straw or other
coarse material applied as a mulch.
The combination of renewal and fer
tilization will work wonders in the re-
juvenation Of many old orchards long
considered Improbable and valueless.

Alfalfa Meal.

1t Is merely ground alfalfa hay. 1t
is recommended by the makers as a
substitute for bran. There seems TO
be no reason why it should be any
more digestible than the hay from
which it is made. 1t may possibly be
less digestible than average hay on
account of there being so great a temp
tatlon to grind the poorer grades Of
hay. 1t forms part Of many Of the
so called dairy and stock feeds.--T. l.
