Shields uses from six to sixteen
tanks of water day when his
sprinkler is working, and last sea-

to $50, which he has refused to pay,

COAST CITIES PROTEST.

The coast cities are making Wig
prous protest against the Spokane
freight rate decision and In COM
menting upon the aituation the
gpokesman-Review says:
1T was asserted at a meeting last
week OF the Merchants Exchange Of
Gan francisco that the entire Pa
cifc northwest Is aroused and united
in its opposition TO freight sched-
ule which, It Ia alleged. will limit
competition in inland western mar
kets such as Spokane to shippers in
st. Paul and Chicago
"But the San Francisco shippers
took care not to add the important
point that II the rates ordered by
the Interstate commerce commission
nhould shut terminal jobblng centerS
out Of the interior. that result could
only come by the inland cities and
ct. Paul and Chicago selling goods
In this inland territory at lower
prices than San Francisco and the
coast cities will sell them.
"The Spokane decision does not
advance rates to the terminals; 1t
orders them lowered to the interior,
and when the coast cities oppose
lower rates to the interior they put
themselves IN the brazen attitude Of
joining hAnds with the railroads to
force the consumers Of the Inland
Empire to pay higher prices for
everything that Is brought from the
east"

In the case of steel bridge the Ia
Dor and material are seldom found In
the locality In which the bridge Is
built. whereas in the construction Of
q concrete bridge most OF the labor
ana materials may be obtained at the
site. and the greater part Of the money
expended for the bridge remains In the
community. This Ii aside from the
cost OF maintenance and appropriate
design. which are entirely in favor OF
concrete, II would be more econom-
teal under certain circumstances TO
pay from one and half to two times
as much In nrst cost for q concrete
bridge as one OF steel. There In good
reason to believe that this represents
the situation as It pertains to the aver
age bridge instead Of being the excep-
ton. How vastly more economical to
use concrete where. the cost does not
exceed steel, which has frequently
been the case In many sections Of the
country. In some instances bids for
concrete being lower than for steel

Barnyard Go ssip.

From the Missouri Farmer & Breeder)
Be kind to your stock. They are
much more easily handled and thrive
better with gentle attention.
Make it point to curry your horses
this winter. The horse enjoys its curry
comb in the morning as much as you do
washing you face and hands.
It's a pretty good idea TO take look
at the stock out in the barn before go
ing to bed. Maybe some horse has got
ten leg into some' place where it does
not belong,
Don't be afraid to do thing like
your neigtbor did it-especially when
your better judgment tells you that his
method is better than the one you have
been following
Be sure your horses, COWS and pigs
have plenty of warm bedding this win
ter. 1t saves feed bills and keeps them
in better condition generally. A dumb
brute likes comfortable bed as much
az you do.
Every farmer who owns a farm of any
size should own small flock OF good
sheep They eat up weeds and bushes
and lot of things that other stock
won't touch, and il properly handled
are sure money makers year after year.
Why not make your boy present OF
SOW and pigs and let him have all he
can make out Of them and encourage
him to start little bank account all OF
his own? Try the experiment and see
whether it don't make him marked
boy in your community in year or two.
Burn off all the upderbrush and
brambles that skirt your fields-and
the weeds in the fence corners and along
the hedges. They are the roosting
places of insects that will prey upon
your crops next summer The time tc
put them out OF business is in the fal
Of the year-and see that your neighbol
does the Same.
