Quail Farmers Friend.

Farmers should regard the quail
as one of his most valuable assets.
He is the cleaner who never reapS
who guards the growing crops, who
glorieS over a bounteous yield, yet
is content to watch and wait for
those lost grains which fall to him
by night" These birds are good
stubble feeders, gathering in weed
seed. waste grain and insects. They
also eat few wild berries and the
like. Included in their diet of an
imal food are large numbers of in
sects that are rejected by other
birds. Among these insects are the
potato beetle, the cucumber beetle
and chinch bug. In the stomach of
single quail has been found 10000
pigweed seeds, in another 1000 rag
weed seeds, in another 5000 pigeon
grass seeds, in another 100 potato
beetles, and so on. Because of their
food habits. and also because of
their cheerful disposition and their
beauty, quails should be protected
and encouraged everywhere. They
should be fed in rough wintry wealth
er, especially if there is snow on the
ground, neglect of this may results
in all the quails in a locality per-
ishing in particularly bad storm.
Patches or strips of cane, katir
corn, popcorn and the like should
be left in the field for them. Some
farmers SOW strips of sorgum at
the edge of draw or just outside
the stock yards for food and pro-
lection of quails.-Carthage Demo-

President Davis Not Traitor.

Let those who call him traitor"
read his farewell speech to the Sen
ate and they will stand mute The
accusation will die unuttered on
their lips.
In that speech, as given by
Saunders Wilburn in Taylor-Trot-
wood Magazine, a master piece Of
logic and burning with eloquence of
sincerity and supreme conviction,
Mr.. Davis said: Il well remember
an occasion when Massachusetts
was arraigned before the bar of the
Senate, and when the doctrine of
coercion was rife and to be applied
against her because of the rescue of
a fugitive slave in Boston. My
opinion then was the same that it
is now. Not in a spirit of egotism,
but to show that | am not influence
ed in my opinion because the case
is my own. | refer to that time
and that occasion as containing the
opinion which | then entertained,
and on which my present conduct
is based. l then said, if Massachu-
sets, following her through stat
ed line of conduct, choose to take
the last step which separates her
from the Union, it is her right to 60
and | will neither vote one dollar
nor one man to coerce her back;
but will say to her God speed in
memory of the kind association
which once existed between her and
the other states"
Whatever others may have
thought of him and, strong in his
own conviction of right and wrong
he respected the opinions of others
who differed from him - to his own
people, thinking as he thought, be-
lieving as he believed, he was and
will always be the object of their
sincere devotion and undying love.
Others there were who came -
not friends of the time when he
was a president James Redpath,
: the fiery abolitionist, the man who
, wrote the John Brown Invasion
and the Life of John Brown" the
man who had denounced Jefferson
} Davis, and was entertained beneath
that hospitable roof tree.
| Walking beneath the giant-oaks,
strolling along the sandy beach, sit
ting upon the great wide veranda in
the twilight, they came to know
each other intimately and well, and
there sprung up between them a
friendship born of mutual respect,
: of lofty purpose and of noble minds.
All was over then, the bitterness.
the bloodShed, the fighting. Citi-
: zens of a reunited country, they
could look back over the past with
no bitterness, no regret. Each had
done his duty as God had given
him to see it. What may have
been said between them in the days
of that winter no one will ever
know, but their souls were gripped
together, as it were, with ropes of
steel. During that time Mr.. Red
path came to see that Jefferson
Davis was a man among men, and
after Mr.. Davis death it was he
who wrote for the Overland Maya
zine that superb eulogy on his life
and character, entitled Jefferson
Davis Was Not a Traitor.

Gems of Literafure.

As far as the Tribune has beer

world literary gems that threaten
while they glisten and horrify when
they sparkle Every particle We
have ever read from the pen of any
one connected with the bureau, on
the subject, is filled with such dis
NAL forebodings as to quite upset rs.
After reading of the dire calamities
that are about to befall us, we are
| thankful that life is short and time
| is fleeting. It's good to know that
we have such literary artists look
ing after the squirrels and chip
hunks and the trees, and the sheep

would undoubtedly ruin the manu-
featuring, agricultural and mining
industries of the state. If the sheep
should eat the leaves off tue skunk
berry bushes in the Boise basin, the
people had better leave the state in
disgust. to its own destruction.
What's the use in living when
Grandjean and his satellites say we
are on the verge of ruin?
These reflections are brought to
mind by communication printed in
the Emmett Index. The commhuica-
ton is by c. B. Mains, forest super
visor He has it bad. The fate of
a nation depends upon the timber
owned by private individuals on the
Payette water shed The only hope
is for the Idaho legislature to pass
laws regulating the numbering in
dustry. For the edification of Mr.
Mains we might remark that If this
timber was secured from the state,
the purchaser contracted to remove
the timber within 20 years. Mr..
Mains wants the legislature to pass
a law which will compel the pur-
chaser to wait 40 or 90 years before
his timber, thus abrogating
a contract entred into in good faith
by both parties. But as we have |
often said, the abrogation of a con-
tract or the ruination of any indus /
Try makes little difference to the /
forestry bureaucrats. If the land I

owner has a deed from the govern
