CITY HAS FINE
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Result OF the Efforts of Occur d.
Alene's WOman's Club

In no other one instance does the
urogressive spirit of the citizens of
the City of Occur d'Alene appear
more prominent than in the generous
and willing assistance they have CIV
en- towards the maintenance of a pub
lie library and no one contemplating
a removal to the beautiful city by the
lake need fear they or their families
will be deprived of the privilege and
benefit of a public library and we'll
equipped reading room.
In October, 1904, Woman's club
was organized with the ultimate OBJ
iect of establishing a free library and
reading room. AS the result of the
enthusiastic work of the members
beginning toward a library was
made in February of that year, when
a book reception was held. Two hun
dred and thirty-four books were re-
ceived and $24 in cash. BY April,
400 books had been secured, and E.

moons each week.
One year from that time found the
library enlarged and occupying rooIas
in the Exchange Bank building with
400 volumes and open afternoons
and evenings. 1t remained in this
building until February, 1909, when
il was transferred to the new city hal!
and where room, lights and fuel are
furnished by the city. Prior to this
time the calls for improvements in
our thriving city were so numerous,
the city council did not see it's way
clear to make appropriations for the
library's support, but the citizels

Success With Poultry.

Note that success with poultry does
not mean merely the ability to hatch
and raise chickens. but that winter
eggs snonld be the source OF much of
the profit from the business; also,
that as early as spring and all along
through the summer one should have
in mind that an effort will be made to
get eggs in winter. Starting a hen or
a pullet (preferably a pullet) into
winter under conditions that enable
her to lay winter eggs cannot be ac-
7complished If that Idea is ignored till
winter arrives. Develop and select
the winter layers full early.

II when corn chop alone is fed to a
horse it often produces stomach tnd-
gestion and boating, which inytne
horse is a very serious form OF indt
gestion or collie.
The reason that corn chop produces
this condition is owing to the TACT
that it lies compactly in the stomach.
The stomach jlices cannot thorough
ly permeate it to digest the nutrients,
and as result unnatural fermenra-
tion takes place. The gas causes dis
tention OF the stomach wall, and
stomach or gastric collie is the result.
IS This Is a. serious form of colo be-
cause OF the peculiar arrangement OF
the stomach. The horse cannot yomit
or belch gas unless the walls be so
greatly distended that there Is mod
iflcation or stretching Of the part OF
the stomach at the point where. the
esophagus enters it, and consequently
there is great danger OF rupturing
the walls Of the! stomach with q fatal
termination.
During the past summer oats have
been very high and many horse own
ers have resorted to corn chop as
more economical feed II the corn
chop be fed with bran or cut hay then
there will usually be no III effects, be-
cause tie material will not lie COM
pacfly in the stomach, and 'as result
the stomach juices can get at all parts
of the feed and digest 1T thoroughly
Many will not feed wheat bran,
claiming that It is OF poor feed value
The fact is that 1t contains more pro-
tetn or muscle building substance than
oats, and when mixed with corn OF
corn chop, in proper proportions
makes a well balanced, heavy feed.

among horses has Increased with the
