by the farmer. The condition under
which the plow Is expected to operate

growing. and in few years 1t will
have almost MS large a place. espe-
cially in the western states. as tho
moldboard plow.
Under similar conditions the disk
plow is Of light draft. but this dif-
ference Is not SO much as Is often
claimed by the manufacturers. Roll.
ing friction makes It pull somewhat
easier than sliding friction. Because
Of the rolling motion Of the disk and

The disk is capable Of plowing
ground that has become too dry and
hard for the mold-board plow. This
is oftentimes Of much value. as It Is
not necessary to wait for rain. and
the seed can be planted at the proper
time.
For humid sections and irrigated
lands. the mold-board plow must be
considered superior. Under favorable
conditions for plowing where the soil
is not too dry. the mold-board plow
pulverizes and turns the soil more
satisfactorily. 1t also handles sod to
better advantage.
To do the same amount OF work.
the disk plow will require very little
sharpening compared to the mold
board plow. This makes the running
expense OF disk very much less
than that OF mold-board.
The diameter OF the disk Shouts not
be too large A 24-foot disk for gen.
eral use is to be preferred to one OF
larger diameter. The 24-foot disk
will pulverize the soil more than
2s or 3oinch one. The draft Is a tri-
fie more on the smaller one but the
difference is more than made up by
the class OF work 1t is able to do.
The disk should not cut too wide a
furrow. 1t Is far better to use two
disks - inches in diameter. each one
cutting eight inches in width, than
to use a 3o-inch cutting IA or 16
inches in width. Taking a narrow fur
row tends to make the bottom less
corrugated.

FARM NOTES.

An acre OF growing wheat uses 90
tons OF water a month.
The wings OF flying bee vibrate
more than 400 times In second.
1t does not pay to buy cheap wag-
on unless one knows what is In 1t.
Hay farmers. those owning their
own farms. should build one or more
barracks to store their market hay.
Glover and mixed hay should not be
stacked, as the hay will not pack as
close as either timothy or red top
hay.
In arid regions. where little soil
water is present. humus decay is SO
rapid that scarcely any can be detect
ed at any time.
Humus laden soil has its particles
so held apart that large surface is
exposed for the reception and holding
OF capillary water.
The success OF green manures de-
pends more largely upon the rainfall
during the period OF growth than upon
the character of soil.
The less stagnant water there is in
the soil the moro rapid the decay,
since water tends to shut out air
which carried composition germs.
The great loss and injury to market
as we'll as the hay for the farm stock
is in careless harvesting. cutting late
and allowing the hay to get wet in the
curing.
With clover seed at Sc to IS per
bushel every farmer in the clover belt
should seed every acre Of land sown
to small grain. not only next spring
btu every spring.
Alfalfa is a very uncertain seed
crop, and 1t is very difficult matter
to estimate with any degree of GER
tainty early in the growth of the crop
what the yield OF seed will be.
The blowing and narrowing or disk
ing Of the garden soil at this season
will benefit it much in making 1t more
friable for next springs working, due
to the disintegrating action Of frost
through the winter.

CUTTING OFF QUEUES
Chinese of Boise Making Innovation,
Custom That Has Been Estab-
lished for Centuries Be-
ing Abandoned

Capital News
Literally speaking the Chinese OF
Boise have joined the ranks of the
Ratchet men and are giving their
queues the axe, following a reform
movement in China in which the en-
peror has issued an edict that his sub
jects can use their own discretion as
to the manner in which they shall
wear their hair. This has resulted in
many of the Mongolians trimming off
their braids and adopting the Ameri-
can style.
One of The well known local celes-
tials. when seen today, declared:
I'm 10 years time l doubt if there
will be many Cinnamon wearing
queues. Every year more and more
of the younger Cinnamon have their
hair trimmed according to the Ameri-
can style. The old men dislike to
change the custom and absolutely re-
fuse to have the scissors applied. The
working class, however, lie the
change for it is convenient not to
have their queues in the way. Among

wear the braids and in all probability
they will continue to grow them.
Boise Chinese are gradually adopting
the new way of things and the queues
are gradually disappearing.
Ever since immigration began
coming to America it has been under
TODD that If the Chinese cut off their
queues they would not be permitted
to return to their native land. For
that reason the queues have been
guarded more closely than money.
Many locat Cinnamon have been heard
to state that they would rather lose
all their worldly goods than their
queues. Others have been known to
infict upon themselves bodily injury
for the loss of them.

Transfer ELECTROCTTED
Thirty-three Thousand Volts Sent
Through the Body of Erastus
Bernard of POcateIO
Pocatello Tribune

Pocatello Tribune
Erastus Bernard aged AZ, employ
ed by George kempton as a teamster
was electrocuted Sunday morning
about 10 O'Clock, while helping to
move a barn on the Fort Hall tract.
In passing under the transmission
line of the Idaho Consolidated Power
company short distance north of
the city, one of the wires was broken,
and in falling struck Bernard on the
top of the head. Death was instan-
teous. The power line carried 49,
600 volts. The body was brought to
the Lindquist Undertaking parlors
and Monday coroner's inquest was
held. The jury agreed that death
was accidental.
Mr.. Bernard leaves wife and sew
en- children in this city. Until rec
emily he was the owner of a ranch
near nixon, but removed to the Gate
City to give his family school facili-
ties.
He was the son of L. Bernard of

Osro Bernard of Garland, Mrs. Julia
Hancock of Salt Lake, and Mrs. Mary

Evidence adduced at the coroner's
inquest was to the effect that Mr..
KemptOn, the house mover and con-
tractor, had propped up one of the
telephone wires strung below the high
tension power wires to afford room
for the barn to pass underneath. In
some manner the prop became dis
placed and the telephone wire came !
into contact with the power wires.
1t quickly burned and fell, fully
charged with the death-iealiny fluid
and stuck Mr.. Bernard on the head.
AS result of the accident the cur
rent was shut off for five or six hours.

BOOTLEGGERS FOUND GUILTY

Five hundred dollars fine and six
months in the county Jail is the SEN
tence imposed by Judge Bulge at
Pocatello last week upon VIM. Steph-
enson, proprietor of the Gate City
Drug store, his clerk w. H. MuIligan,
and Geo. Albrecht, for selling booze
in violation of the local option law.
Edward Graves, negro who had
acted as a go-between in the delivery
OF liquor, was given three months on
the first count and sixty days on the
second. Judge Bulge was disposed
to be lenient with him until he re-
fused to give any information as to
where he got the liquor, and then he
was informed that he was adding
to the otfense by protecting the guilty
ones.
Harry Campbell was given sixty
days for acting as messenger to de-
liver liquor. Henry Porterfield was
given sixty days for buying liquor for
somebody else to use. Charley Leeney
was given three months on each of
two counts for selling liquor he had
purchased before the town went dry.
When sentenced had been imposed,
the youth said Thanks in such
a smart aleck manner that the judge
called him back and doubled the SEN
tence in each case, making total
of twelve months, making it clear
to the youth that when he insulted
the court he insulted the whole of
the state, and that nothing of the
kind would be tolerated for an in
slant. The next day the Judge modi-
fed the sentence, making it four
months in each case.
Charges were dismissed against
three others who has plead guilty and
had aided the state in securing the
convictions of the others.
Stephenson and Mulligan will prob
ably appeal their cases.

We did not suppose that anyone
at this late day would deny the facts
of this matter. They are so we'll es.
tablished that the man who under.
takes to deny them makes himself
ridiculous. Every friend of temper
ance knows that the governor was an
honest and effective advocate of that
legislation. If evidence were need
ed, we might point to the fact that
every emissary of the saloon in this
state today is opposed to the COVER
nor because of his attitude on this
quest'tr end because of the part he
took in enacting the local option law.
Why then does any man, at the be-
ginning of this campaign, come forth
and make such a statement as that
TO which we have referred? There
can be no explanation of it excepting
that it is based upon the theory that
the opponents of the governor are
driven to desperation, realizing that
they may have no hope whatever of
bringing about his defeat.
The charge is, perhaps, unworthy
of attention. 1t is so universally
known to be false that no argument
is needed IN connection with it. But
1t does serve this purpose-that of
showing that the opponents of the
governor are willing to resort to dis
reputable, as we'll as desperate meth
DDS. That charge is nothing less than
because it is so absolute
ly false, so utterly without founda-
ton, that it barnds the allegation as
a falsehood made from the whole
cloth.
1t is interesting to thus learn that
the governors opponents feel that
they are in the last ditch Honorable
men would not resort to such meth
DDS as that, even though they did
know they were in the last ditch.
but the character of the men opposed
to Governor Brady is such that it is
no wonder it leads it henchmen of
avery kind into adoption of contemp-
,ible methods to effect the purposes
Upon which their minds are set.

and while Woods went to the brush
on the Blackfoot river, Harrington,
Nickerson, Williams and Hughes rode
for the foothills east Of the city. Be-
fore leaving they had deposited the

EVIDENCE OF DEPERATION

Evidence is accommodating that the
opponents of Governor Brady feel
they are in desperate straights. Men
often resort to desperate methods
when they find the object of their
desire slipping hopelessly beyond
their reach. That the desire of those
who wish to defeat the governor is
destined to be denied them, must now
be dawning upon the minds of all
those in the opposition ranks. Con-
sequently, it is to be anticipated that
evidence of desperation will be mani
Testing themselves in many ways.
One of the evidences of the loss
of hope among the opposition coming
under our observation is a statement
made by one of the papers of north
ern Idaho to the effect that Governor
Brady opposed the enactment of the
local option law at the last session
Of the legislature. The paper publish
ing that statement cannot have so
much as pretext for having done so.
1t cannot offer any excuse nor can it
pretend that 1t thought it was stating
anything that had grain of truth
IN 1t. Every person who has been
familiar with the record Of Governor
Brady knows that he has been loyal
to the temperance cause. He has al
ways been loyal. He was loyal to
1t throughout the last campaign, as
was shown by his utterances on every
stump. He was loyal to 1t throughout
the session of the legislature, as is
shown by the work that he did, with
in such limitations as are imposed,
for the success of the local option
bill. All influences that he could
legitimately put forth were exerted
in favor. of that measure. This is a
fact known to every person who is
member of the legislature and to
everyone at all familiar with the rec
ord of that session.
If there was one thing which Gov
ernor Brady hoped for from that ses-
sion more than another, it was the
enactment of the local option law He
knew the people wanted it. He. him
self, wanted it. He knew it was de-
manded by the best interests of the
state and he worked tirelessly and
earnestly from beginning to end for
success of the measure.
