RULE FOR MEASURING HAY IN
THE STACK

The following methods of measur.
ing hay in the stack are taken from a
Colorado exchange:
The rules for measuring hay in the
stack vary according to the length of
time the hay has been stacked, the
kind and quality of hay and also ac-
cording to the character of the stack.
With alfalfa or prairie hay, which has
been stacked for 80 days. it is usual
to compute an eight foot cube, or 512
cubic feet, as a ton. When the hay
has stood five or six months usually
IN foot cube or 422 cubic feet, is
calculated as ton. In old stacks
Z foot cube, or 342 cubic feet, is
allowed as a ton.
There are different methods of mea-
surfing stacks, depending upon the
shape of the stack and also upon its

IDAHO GIRLS TO VISIT PORTLAND
Excursion of Fair Boosters VIII Al.

Labeled the Boosters of Idaho" az
excursion of fair maidens of this state
VIII go to Portland next spring during
the famous Rose festival annually
held in that city. Already plans are
under way to make the proposed ex-
cursion pronounced success. Ar
rangements have been made with the
management of the festival for the
entertainment of the Idaho girls, who
Will make the trip and the very best
OF accommodations will be provided
for them in the Rose city while they
are its guests.
1t is believed that the excursion will
AFFORD an excellent medium for the
boosting of the Gem state, it's cities,
towns and villages, climate, resources,
possibilities and future. All told the
excursion will cover about a week, for
a number of side trips are to be made
out OF Portland to the surrounding
country. The excursion will be made
up OF young ladies from the southern
part of the state or from the cities and
towns of Boise, Weiser, Payette, EN-
nett, Caldwell, Nampa, Mountain
Home, Gooding, HALEY, Twin Falls,
Pocatello, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls
Montpelier and others.
The Rose festival is probably the |
greatest annual event held in the city
OF Portland. 1t has already won |
national reputation and is now recog-
nized as national event, no other
city in the United States, SO far as is
known, having festival of a similar
nature.
From a standpoint of beauty it is
Unique in itself. For many years
Portland has been known as the Rose
'lty, made famous in this respect ow-
ng to the beautiful roses that are
'roWn there during the IL months of
ne year. Every possible available
'round space where roses can be
rown is occupied by the flowers. The
oses even bloom on some of the
ouse tops and buildings, where they
ave been set out in flower beds.
1t is believed by boosting organiza- g
ons and commercial clubs of the I
outhern and eastern parts of the
ate that the excursion that is now
cling planned will be beneficial in an
EDUCATIONAL way as we'll as do a great :
cal towards booming this section. 3

IDAHO APPLES WINNING AT
COUNCIL BLUFFS

Idaho apples are sweeping all be-
fore them at the National Horticul-
tural Congress now being held at
Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Boise dis
play carried away one of the big
gest prizes-the Council Bluffs Com
mercial Club cup, valued at $500.
The Boise display was made up
OF car load of apples selected from
the orchards of the Payette, Weiser
and Boise valleys and is said to be
the finest collection of apples ever
shown at any exhibition. The Idaho
display attracted a constant crowd
which was interested in the magni-
ficent production.
These apples were entered in COM
petition with the greatest orchards
Of America and winning such valu-
able recognition is Of great adver-

size. For long stack or rick, the
usual method is to throw a line over
the stack, measuring the distance ov-
er from the bottom on one side to
the bottom on the other; add to this
the average width of the stack, divide
this sum by fOur-which equals one
side of the square-and multiply the
quotient by itself and this product by
the length of the stack. This will
give the number of cubic feet in the
stack which may be divided by SIP,
422 or 343, in order to find the num-
Der of tons.
For small low ricks, the rule is to
the width from the over, d.
vided by two, multiply by the width
and multiply the product by the leng-
tn, dividing the result by the num-
Der of cubic feet in ton. There is
no established rule for measuring

ADVERTISING OUR LANDS.

, H. r. Ennis, of the Idaho Land &
Orchard company of Blackfoot, Idaho
and Oskaloosa, Iowa, is using some
of the big daily papers of Iowa to tell
about Idaho. and the resources of the
Blackfoot country in particular.
The following is an excerpt form
one of Mr.. Ennis articles.
A Remarkable Orchard
Our first stop is the city of Black
foot, beautiful town of $500 peo-
pie, with all modern improvements.
We take drive through the beautiful
valley of the Snake river and we
find the sagebrush deserts transform
ed into Garden of Eden, producing
enormous yields of apples, pears,
plums, cherries, small fruit and gen
eral farm crops by the benefcient use
OF water from the irrigation bitches.
Truly this is the home of the big
red apple, where they grow to perfec-
ton unknown elsewhere. Here we
found an orchardist by the name of
Louis Robbins, who expected to har-
vest 5000 boxes of apples, with a
standing offer of ten dollar gold
piece for every wormy apple found in
his orchard. We have heard since
that he harvested his apples and still
has his gold piece. Wonderful" you
say and it truly is.
The volcanic ash which fell GEN.
turtles ago has shown itself to be the
richest of all soil sand what may have
been bane at one time is now a
blessing and one of the greatest of
the states of the northwest.
And what an inexaustible supply
or water the Snake river furnishes.
Every canal, and there are dozens
Or more in the valley, bank full and
4 surplus going down the river that
could fill all of them four or five
lines over.
We pass up the valley to Idaho

'lace 1t is the same story over again. {

A Delightful Auto Trip.

Mr.. ]. G. Birdsell, one OF the
prominent farmers of Frankville
township, came to DEBORAH the 9TH
er day and ordered one of those
dandy Maxwell runabouts. In or
der to get used to running it he
went to Waterloo with the editor
and together they drove the car
home, coming in a roundabout way
so that we covered easily 100 miles.
The little steel car brought us
through deep sand, through mud,
over steep hills, through the rain,
showing remarkable speed and
power, a surprise TO both of us,
bringing us home with the speed
and safety of a railroad train. The
farmers of northeastern Iowa are
beginning to learn, as they al
ready have in southern Iowa, that
it is economy to own reliable
automobile on the farm. 1t Is even
more SO there than anywhere else.

more than could be expected. And
yet as far as we were able to hear,
the visitors spoke in the very high
est terms Of praise of the efforts of
our Choral Club.
The program opened a little late
on -Sccount of the ceaseless throng
at the door. In the first, or ora
torio part Of the program, both the
chorus and orchestra gave unmis-
takeable evidence of having been
trained by master hand. 1t is
che thing to direct professional
singers and musicians, but quite an
other to instruct and lead amateurs
and beginners to perform such diff
ficult work. Prof. Sperati has a
wonderful ability to get the best
results out of all kinds of material.
The soloists did their work we'll
Miss Werthwein carried her difficult
part with the attack and spirit of an
experienced prima donna. Mr.. Fritz,
although only young amateur,
rendered the bass part wonderfully
well. The tenor, Rev. Kvale, out
did himself and carried the audience
away, so to speak, by his clear and
expressive singing.
The second part Of the program
consisted of selections by the Or
chestra, chorus and the soloists, not

SPRING GROVE CHORAL CLUB.
What Little Town is Doing Along
Musical Ines as Shown in
Recent Concert.

Last Friday evenings concert
certainly capped the climax both as
to audience, and, in the estimation
of competent judges, as to the gem
eral merits of the music. Not only
did Spring Grove and the immedi-
ate vicinity turn out as never be-
fore, but delegations were present
from DEBORAH, Preston, Harmony,
Lanesboro, Houston, Burr Oak, Ma
bel, Caledonia, Hokah, EitZen and
other places. Every foot of stand
ing room was occupied and several
could not get in.
1t is not surprising that when a
town not larger than Spring Grove
advertises the production of Haydn's
Creation" that musicians and those
muscally interested would come
from neighboring towns to find out
what sort of a presentation could
be offered; but that they should ex-
press not only satisfaction but even
the highest admiration for the way
in which the oratorio was given is

To Make a Hen Sit.

Take a box three feet long and a
foot square and stand it on end,
nail strip three inches wide around
the upper end, put in some clean
straw and a dozen eggs and place
the hen carefully on the nest. Now
take a gunnysack and put a rock
weighing fifty pounds in each end
of it, cut a hole in one side of the
middle, spread it carefully over the
hen, running her head through the
hole in the sack, then let the rocks
down on each side of the box.
Hens handled in this way will re-
main perfectly quiet. They can be
turned end for end each day to
change their position and give the
eggs air and the hen will never
"kick" or break the eggs.
If you have hens that are de-
termined to sit when you don't
want them to, turn the hen the 9TH
err side up, and If she don't lie still,
put more rocks in. Hens handled
in this manner will lose all desire
for maternity in a week or two and
be perfectly tame and tractable.-

Must BE As Represented.

c. A. Moody. the Nashua egg
dealer. purchased a team of New
ton Jones, of Carrville, this week
for his son Owen, to take upon his
claim in Canada, paying $3.50 for
the horses. The team looked fine
and Mr.. Moody was we'll satisfied
with his purchase. until ne was told
that after disposing of them, Mr..
Jones had boosted of being well
pleased in passing them off onto Mr..
Moody, as one Of the horses was
subject to fits, which was not gen.
orally known.
Mr.. Moody had bought the horses
before a witness and after investi-
eating the matter and learning that
this was a fact, he took Attorney
]. A. Yarger with him to the New
ton home and demanded his $3.50.
stating that il 1t was not forthwith
coming, he would resort to the
hands of the law, and consequently
Mr.. Jones Immediately returned the
check for the $3.50. and the team
was returned. 1t seems that under
the present law a person lays him
self liable when he sells an unsound
horse, and guaranteed horse, for
the price of a sound one, even
though the buyer be judge of
horses.

Opens New Plumbing Shop.

Mr.. Charles Blair has leased the
McMastcrs plumbing shop on East
Water street and will engage in the
plumbing business for himself. The
building will be fixed up in good
shape ard he will install a line OF
heating and plumbing supplies, etc.
Mr.. Blair since coming to DEBORAH
has had charge of the installation
of several heating plants, all of
which are giving good satisfaction.
He is an expert workman, a good
natured, congenial fellow, and read
ily makes friends. He is one of the
best plumbers DEBORAH has had in
years, and no doubt will do a large
business in his line.

Iowa Farm Lands and the Tariff.


The Des Moines Tribune is in
sisting that good Iowa lands are
worth $500 an acre and that in the
not very far future they will be
selling for such prices. But they
will not sell for that if the present
attempts to open Iowa farm lands
to the competition from Canada is
ever successful. Free trade with
Canada would set back every acre
OF land in Iowa. The farmers are
beginning to understand this fact
and that is why they are calling
halt on the extreme tariff agitators
within the republican party of this
state. The farmers of Iowa have
Jared very we'll under republican
protection and we miss our guess II
they will not see to it that they con-
tinue to prosper in the same way.
So. far as the tariff agitation Is con-
cerned they have allowed the In
surgents about as far as they will
go. If the insurgents of the Foss
kind are uniformly successful, Iowa
lands will be little better than
Canadian lands. The farmers are
going to insist on the American
market for their products and they
are not going to share that market
with foreigners.-Cedar Rapids Re-

Something went wrong with the

He rode nearly all night, and was
nearly exhausted wnen the machine

ing the machine with him, and Offer
ed TO sell It back to the dealer at

it shall make the name of our town

NEW INDUSTRY FOR CLERMONT.
Mason City People to Put i'm Big
Tile Plant Within Short Time.

Mason City people-William M.
Colby, S. L. Gleason, and J. H. Nc
Conlogue-have taken an option
from Chris Miller that if used will
mean the doubling of the population
of Clermont within about a year.
They are offered severty-three acres
adjoining Clermont for 1000, the
offer to hold good for six weeks from
May 4. If they buy they will invest
$250,000 in putting up three plants
for the manufacture of clay pro-
ducts-sewer pipe, tile, brick, and
the like. They have contracted to
use 300-horse power from the Miller
electric plant, while the Millers
agree to abandon their brick and
tile works.
Mr.. Miller and his sons and SON.
in-law are putting in an electric
plant in the old Larrabee mill, the
power to be generated by the fall
in Turkey river. They expect to be
lighting Clermont by electricity in
about two weeks, and Elgin a few
weeks later. They also expect to
run wires this summer to Ossian and
Castalia They will put in cement
dam with fourteen feet fall this
year, and if the deal with the Mason
City people goes through, will also
put in a cement dam with ten feet
fall two miles below this town.
The Mason City people are the
same ones who have promoted and
run big brick and tile works at
Mason City and Lehigh, Ia. They
had secured samples of the clay
underlying the Miller land a year
ago, the samples. it is understood,
testing out satisfactorily for the
purposes for which the clay is de-
sired. A larger amount of clay was
taken this week, and it is under
stood that the deal depends only on
the way this latest sample tests out.
