RAPID MARKET FOR POULTRY
Quicker Bird Can Be Brought to Mar
ketabIe Size, Greater Profit and
Fewer Losses.

always push my young stock along
as rapidly as possible until marketed.
or until brought to maturity. says a
writer in the Baltimore American.
This 1t pays to do. even when | must
buy feed and at a high price. The
quicker bird can be brought to mar
ketable size or to the productive stage
the greater the profit, to say nothing
OF quicker returns and shortened risk.
Rapid growth Is always cheapest and
quick returns most satisfactory There
are always fewer losses in a flock kept
growing vigorously than In one al
lowed to drag, and a shorter period In
which chicks are possible prey to
hawks, rats and other enemies.
MY young stock Is never stinted.
After 1t is removed from the brooder
continue to feed regularly and as
generously as before. Feed for a con-
siderable time consists largely of
coarsely ground grains or fresh, sweet
milk For this | like corn and wheat
principally at first. Later add other
grains, often emitting the wheat or
feeding 1t whole by itself Rye, al
though chicks will not eat 1t whole,
is excellent cracked with other grains.
Barley. also peas in small quantities,
is good. AS chicks become larger
whole grains are gradually substituted
for cracked. Rye. II fed whole, is
cooked. In this shape chicks are
greedy for 1t. and 1t furnishes excel
lent food. All summer like to feed
little soft food now and then, either
ground feed, shorts or bran, wet with
milk or warm water. Grit keep con.
stantly before my flock. also pure
water.

GREAT VALUE OF DAIRY SIRE
Important That Calf Should Have
Good Parentase on Both Sides
Pure Breed Are Costly.
(By r. B. Roe.)

i
Raising the heifer calves of good
high-producing cows, is great funda
mental requisite for the best and
easiest improvement of dairy herd
But those calves will take their
! Qualities from both parents, and it ie
equally important that each cali
should have good parentage on the
male side. But an inspection Of many
dairy herds will show that compare.
lively little attention is paid to the
quality Of the sire
have too often seen herds in
which the heifer calves were raised
for future cows, but in which the
bulls used were miserable little scrubs,
and weaklings, obtained by simply
saving a grade calf from the herd.
And OF many other sires, fairly
good as individuals, nothing is known
Of the actual milk production OF their
female ancestors.
There are as | view It two princi-
pie reasons for this. One is that un-
der the custom of selling the calves
for veal 1t does not make much diff
ference about their breeding. But as
this custom must be changed by sue
cessful dairymen and the best heifer
calves raised for cows, 1t becomes nee
essary to provide good sires.
But another great reason Is that
the pure-bred sire costs more money.
Underlying both these is the funda-

MakIno a Garden.

Keep the hoe going IN dry weather
and you will not need the watering
pot often.
The wheel hoe will save many a
backache and do the work of three
hand hoes.
Plant the rows all one way-north
and south-so the sun can strike both
sides.
Do not plant short rows, but let
them run the whole length of the
garden if need be-why not?

The Japanese language is claimed
to be the hardest of all to learn.
Even the Japanese find It hard, and
several American army officers have
found 1t impossible to master 1t. II
takes the Japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts OF the

The 214 signs serve as the English

CITY POLICE COURT DOES
A RUSHING BUSINESS

City Attorney Paul S. Haddock,
Marshal Oliver C. Dunn, and Police
Magistrate w. D. Vredenburgh have
recently put in some very effective
work in the way of securing fines from
offenders of the city ordinances.
The two Spanish rooming houses were
fined one hundred dollars each for deal
ing in booze.
Four Spaniards were fined fifteen
dollars each for fighting.
A colored man was induced to cough
up $4,000 for using q gun on the
street.
man from Carey and another from
Haley were fined ten dollars each and
costs on charge of plain drunk.
Several more are out on parole for
the purpose of securing money to pay
their fines.
1t was fortunate the parties arrested
were able to dig up the plunks for the
enrichment of the city treasury not
withstanding the frozen condition of
the ground. About S2S5.00 are already
in the vault and the total will be swell
ed to more than three hundred dollars
when the delinquents come marching
in. This is lot better than to be COM
PEELED by the poverty of the offenders
to board them long time in Jail, to
pay good money out on them rather
than to take it in. In the meantime
the county officials took in a tidy little
sum of s55. 80 in costs and fine on a
charge of assault. This is only one of
their collections; the greater part of
the county cases are being fought in the
courts.

WORK FOR Superintendent

About $50 eighth grade pupils scat
tered throughout the schools of the
county recently took the examina-
tion in Physiology and Geography
and their papers have been sent in to
the county Superintendent for grading.
AS there are about 300 separate papers
to examine and grade the work con-
nected Herewith is considerable.
This represents part of the final ex-
animation for the year and it is taken
this early in the season in order to
tighten the work for both pupils and
teachers at the years end In former
years, before irrigation projects in
creased the population by leaps and
bounds, Mrs. Burnside thought that
20 or 25 eighth grade applicants for
graduation were all that could be ex-
pected. The difference represents one
item of the work that has recently
been added to the duties of the county
superintendent.

SCHOOL BUILDING IS NEEDED

The need for the new $40, 900 school
building is now making itself felt in a
conspicuous manner. The school board
have been compelled to employ an cx-
ira teacher. Miss Harriet Harris of
Boise is the new teacher and she has
been given charge of the 9Th and 7th
grades in the room formerly occupied
by Miss England. Miss England now
has the sth grade and two recitations of
the 9th in the oldprincipals room which
crowds all of the Sth, 9Th, 10th and llth
grades onto the upper floor of the old
brick building. Lack of houses to rent
is the only reason there are not many
more families living in Shoshone and
with the breaking up of winter our
population will increase in spite of that
handicap. In view of those connitions
the city schools are liable to be still
further crowded before the school year
ends.

HARTMAN EXPECTS BIG
BOOM IN THE SPRING

Thos. J. Clark has recently been ap-
pointed post master of the new town
of Hartman and the Office will soon
be opened on the tow nsite.
Mr.. Clark served four or FIVE wears
as u s. post Office Inspector under Pres
idents Mckinley and Roosevelt, his
territory comprising the states of the
Pacific northwest.
The new town on the Rupert Bliss
cut off has a promising future before
it. Eight thousand dollars of town lots
have been sold since the first of the
wear and a deal involving as much
more is only waiting the disappearance
of the snow.
Two new lumber yards are assured
and a hardware store. Other business
enterprises are negotiating for position.
Mr.. Clark has purchased more land
adjoining the townsite on the north
and G ,st so that he now owns over 30l
acres on both sides of the Oregon Short
Line. The original town plat is pretty
well sold out and it may become ne

tion of highest Importance to the peo-
pie.
There are twenty-five road districts
in the county and a majority of them
cover new territory where no road
work whatever has been DONE The
sum of s5200 has been apportioned
among them for expenses of road over
seers and road repairs, in addition to
the amount to be collected from road
tax. This is a liberal allowance, in
view of the condition of the county
finances and the apathy of the people
themselves in road matters. In dis
tricts where the overseer will not even
expend judiciously the money allowed
him by the county, and neglects to
collect half of the road taxes, the con-
ditions are not such as to encourage
assistance from the county.
The policy of the board is to help
those districts that show a disposition
to help themselves. When district
can show that it has exhausted it's own
resources and there is urgent need for
further assistance, an effort will be
made to assist it.
This brings home to the people the
Importance of selecting energetic and
efficient men for road overseers. The
county is willing to pay every over
seer fair and reasonable compensa-
tion for honest service and there is
no reason why any district should toll
crate lazy and inefficient overseer.
In addition to the money appropriat-
ed for road districts, the commissioners
have authorized the purchase of an up
to-date 4-horse road grader for the
districts on this tract A 4-horse grad
er is regarded as more serviceable than
the larger machines, as it is difficult to
get enough teams together to operate

cessary to plat more land in the near
future.
AS result of the founding of the
new town land in that vicinity has
gone up to $50. and $780, an acre
bonus and some is changing hands at
those figures.
The o. S. L. blue prints show that a
long side tract is provided for within
the town limits and little extra grad
ing on both main line and side track
will give a practically level strench at
the depot for starting heavy trains.
A connection will be made as soon as
possible with the power plant at the
Lower Salmon falls to supply an cleo
trio lighting system and furnish power
for village water works.
The new town of Hartman is located
only few miles from where the Lower
Salmon plants being installed and still
nearer is the month of the Malad river
where filing has been made by the
King Hill interests and where q trem-
endous power plant can be established
at moderate cost
With the opening of spring, work will
be rushed on the Rupert Bliss cut off
and cars will be running in the near
future
The new town is well located to draw
a big trade.

NEW RAILROAD FOR RICH

In a conversation with Judge Sulli-
van last Thursday as he was returning
to his Boise home from Salt Lake City,
he stated that in Salt Lake he had a
talk with the General Attorney for the
Oregon Short Line. This attorney
stated that the o. S. l.. would build
the road from Owinza to Richteld,
Camas Prairie and on to Boise this
season and that many millions of dol
lars would be expended on it. The ex-
act amount was mentioned by the
Judge but the figures have escaped the
writer The surveyors who have been
camped at Richfeld lorg time, finished
their work there and returned home
for short vacation till the snow melts
off wpen they will start again at
Burns. The Oregon Short Line evil
IDENTIFY intends to beat all competitors
through the Camas Prairie and Lincoln
County will get generous slice of the

GETTING READY TO FILL
THE BIG RESERVOIR

A large lot of lumber is being hauled
out to the big dam, to complete the
flume for caring for the flood waters
that may be expected in the Big Wood
river in the early spring.
Last spring, the big thaw came
about the last of January, when the
Big Wood was a raging torrent, dis
charging 1900 cubic feet of water per
second, as compared with its lowest
minimum summer flow of $50 inches.
The unprecedented flood did some
damage to the dam, as well as delay
ing the work so that it was impossible
to impound water in time for last sea-
sons crops. There is more snow on
the ground now than there was then,
and should it go off with rush, the
volume of water might be considerably
greater.
To take care of that flood, fume
so feet wide and six feet deep, is being
built over the top of the dam as it now
SldIluS. L tlC Qdill 10 dDOQL ~ ICCI AlS
filled in almost level between the upper
and lower faces which were built first.
The tunnel little more than IL feet in
section, will carry off about 1000 feet
of water with the gates and valves set,
or 1000 without them in their place.
The fume across the top will care for
10, 900 cubic feet per second when the
water reaches up to height that
outlet is needed, making three times
the carrying capacity of the heaviest
flood of last year, an ample margin of
safety.
By the time the spring opens up for
good, the company will be in position
to come near establishing worlds re-
cord for the handling of dirt for similar
constructions. There are two Marion
steam shovels and five locomotives with
plenty of cars for hauling, an elaborate
system of trackage permits the econo-
micaI handling of the excavated ma
terial, that is if the big machine can be
kept busy practically every minute of
the time.
Water will be available for two or
three times the acreage of land that
can be opened and farmed this season,
even though the dam will not be quite
completed for the irri cation season.
The last few feet on the top of the
structure, while they increase the
storage capacity enormously are the
easiest and quickest to put in, but they
will not be needed for the first of this
season, as the land is not broken up
ready for crop, and can not be in time
for this season. Everybody who owns
land under the Idaho Irrigation company
holdings, however. can have what
water they want with a wide margin
for the after comers who will theoreti-
cally farm their lands this next year.
Bring all the plows and men you can
get hold of and don't be afraid to
settle down here and put all the crop
YOU want in, for the water is in sight,
the bitches are ready for the delivery,
and there is money in Idaho farms. =
