Notes
Summer Books.
sssssssssssssssssssssss

The following books are a continu-
alton of the list of novels given in the
paper last night. They are not new
books nor very well known ones, but
they are all good reading.
Rise of Silas Lapham," by William
Dean Howells. This story is one of
the truest descriptions of American
life ever written. Its central charac-
ter is that much abused and little
understood person known as "a self
made man."
"a Friend of Caesars" by w. s. Da-
Wis. The scene of this story Is told
by the name. 1t is laid in old Rome
for the most part and makes the
most abused writer of school days
very pleasant and human sort of an
individual.
Occur d'Alene," by Mary Hallock
Foote. You may not agree with the
writer of this tale, but you will find
her description of country not many
miles from Pendleton intensely inter-
estng.
"Cressy." by Bert Harte. This is
another western novel and the scene
where II is laid Is familiar to many.
1t tells of early California days.
"Portion OF Labor" by Mary Will
kins Freeman. A book more differ
ent from the last two mentioned would
be hard to find. portion of Labor"
deals with life as seen by a girl in
New England factory town.
"Sir George Tressady," by Mrs.
Humphrey Ward This pictures the
English political and social life in
which Mrs. Ward is so much at home.
"Framley Parsonage" by Anthony
Trollope. If ever writer deserved
to be read because of a certain charm
that defies analysis and gives to the
most matter OF fact, prosaic existence
a deep and holding interest, Anthony
Trollope is that man. His works,
| like those of Jane Austen. have moth
ing exciting about them. but depend
for their attraction upon humor and
portrayal of character.
"Silent Places" by Edward Stewart
White. This is a tale of the North
country, 1t leads you over great bar
rens of ice and snow. 1t makes you
feel the great elementals of physical
life, hunger and sold and fatigue.

Butter Making on the Farm.

Three-fourths of all the butter con-
sumed in the United States is made by
farmers wives of the country Ac-
cording to reports from the internal
revenue office in Chicago the output
OF oleomargarine in that district in
May was 6.572,9S6 pounds against
4,126,137 pounds for the same month
in 1909.
1t requires nearly 1000, 900. 900
pounds Of butter annually 70 supply
the people of the United states. While
the creamery business has increased
many fold in recent years the very
large proportion of the butter of the
country is still made by the busy
farmers housewife under the old
fashioned methods that obtained fifty
years ago. The butter produced by
the creameries amounts to but little
more than One-fourth as much as that
produced by the farmers wives.

Bowel Trouble in Chickens.

Bowel trouble kills many chickens
during the summer months and the
principal cause Of this is feeding wet
food and feeding young chicks too
early after Matching. 1t is often the
case that more food is given the
chickens than they will eat one time
and that which is lert becomes sour
and is eaten later, causing the bowel
sickness
If not allowed to go too far before
treating. bowel trouble can be cured
by giving a few doses of ginger to the
affected fowl; chalk mixture is also
good so is the feeding of rice boiled in
milk or raw Irish potato scrappngs.
and I might go on ad infinitim, but
the best preventive is to feed nothing
but dry food

Poultry Notes.

If the poultry house is overcrowded
kill off some of the older birds. Keep
stocked up with young thrifty layers.
Don't let the hens suffer for water.
Damp houses are the greatest pro-
moters of disease among fowls.
If egg shells are fed to the hens
they should be broken into small bits
so that they will not resemble an egg;
otherwise the hens are apt to con-
tract the egg-eating habit.

100. 900 ACRES EAST OF
WEISER TO BE WETTED

MountainhOme. Idaho.-The first
step in what may eventually mean the
launching of one of the most gigan-
tic irrigation projects in the arid west
including the reclamation of 100000
acres of land adjacent to this city,
and as far northwest as Boise as well
as thousands of acres located in the
territory extending from Reverse, just
east of Weiser on the west, has been
taken by representative business men,
capitalists and property owners. 1t
was determined to lay the general
plans before the reclamation service
in order to promote the request for
its support. Committees We're ap-
pointed to take UP the matter and

Take in Left over land.

Under the plans Of the Payette-
Boise project alone, when it was first
conceived, approximately 700, 900
acres was the estimate Of the amount
that could be irrigated. The present
scheme of reclamation includes this
tract Of land, 100000 in the Boise
project and 100000 Of the Mountain
home and Sunnyside lands as well as
other territory which heretofore has
not ben thought of as irrigation pos
sioility. 1t also means the drawing
Of reserve irrigation waters from the
upper salmon river to storage lakes
and reservoirs on both sides Of the
"hOgback'' Of the Sawtooth river
where it can be taken 70 the lands.
For the reclamation OF the western
side Of the big project the waters of
the Payette river could be harnessed
and canaled to the arid sections.
Scheme Entirely New.
To store the waters Of three Of the
mightiest rivers in the state namely,
the Boise. Payette and Salmon, and
to divert their water onto the now vast
tracts of arid land located south Of
the Sawtooth range, Is a scheme new
or before conceived, although the rec
lamatiOn service has harnessed well
the waters Of the Boise and is about to
engage in installing a chain of big
reservoirs on the headwaters Of that
river with the idea Of being able to
divert the water to the lower coun-
