The Pure Bred Dairy Sire.

Investigations carried on in some In
diana herds by the Indiana experiment
station showed that herds in which
pure bred sires were used were pro
ducing butter fat on an average 31a
cents cheaper than herds which were
ungraded. While the average profit
per year from the ungraded herd was
S19.62 per COW. that of the graded herd
was S36.04 per COW. On an average
the graded herd produced sixty-four
pounds of butter fat per COW more than
the ungraded herd. There is no ques-
ton but that the purchase of a pure
bred sire would be one of the best in
vestments that could he made.
In selecting the sire first decide on
the breed which you think will be best
suited for your conditions. Then stick
to this breed The value of the sire
must be based solely on his ability to
get high producing heifer calves.

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.

A Lost Tin Mine and a Lead Mines
Bottomless Pit
Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed. bu. have been brought
10 disastrous failure at the last mo-
ment. are frequent enough in the his
tory Of industry.
London Answers tells the story of a
tin mine In England which might have
yielded fortune but for a storm.
With the finding Of a new vein of
ore running out toward the sea a new
level was driven out below the water;
then it was found that the lode bent
upward too near The sea bottom for
mining to be safely carried on. Undis-
cOuraged. the owner borrowed money,
built Il sea wall to cut off the water.
erected pumps and again went to
work.
On the sixth day. just as an enor-
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped. a gale came up. a ship was blown
upon the wall. which went to pieces
at once. and the sea drove the heavy
stones in upon the thin roof Of the
mine. In u moment the workings were
hOpelessly flooded and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwel lead mine in Derbyshire
Believing that a rich vein OF ore exist
ed in a nearby hill. the owner risked
his entire capital to bore a tunnel
5000 feet long into the heart OF the
mountain. Suddenly the miners broke
through a wall of rock into a vast hid
den cavern. through which flowed a
stream of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream. and after 10000 tons a bridge
began TO rise out Of the darkness. and
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled.
and at last. after 10000 tons in all had
been cast into the cavern. they gave il
up.
That narrow rift is known to this
day as the Bottomless Pit

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Ducks Are Meat Eaters.

The Geneva experiment station has
found that dncklngs can eat without
injury rations over 90 per cent OF
which is OF animal origin. OF course
the cost was high. Il also found that
ducklings fed varied and palata-
BILE grain ration well balanced so far
as the commonly considered nutrients
are concerned but without animal
protein, turned out badly. Half of
them died before four weeks old. and
the others were only saved by the ad-
dition of the needed element to their
food.
Next they experimental to find the
most profitable amount of it to feed
1t was found that untii five weeks of
age the ducklings grew most rapidly
upon a ration containing GO per cent
animal food. while the cost per pound
Of growth was as low as any. AS the
birds grew larger the advantage of
the high proportion of animal food
lessened until reduced to 20 per cent

PREP AIRING FOR
ALFALFA SEEDING,
Deep Fall Flowing a Necessary
Preliminary to Success.

Land that is to be seeded to alfalfa
this fall should be plowed deeply as
soon as the grain crop is Off and a
coat of manure has been applied The
best way to produce alfalfa is to ma
nure it before sowing. The best way
to raise a corn crop is to manure the
land then grow alfalfa for a period Of
years before planting the corn. The
amount of manure to be applied to
the land will vary with the amount
available and the present condition
of the land. Stable manure is valu-
able in two very important ways. 1t
furnishes an abundance of plant food.
which is readily available to the grow
ing crop, and at the same time supplies
the soil with humus without which no
successful cultivation can be attained
The object in blowing land deeply
after harvest is to insure its proper
aeration and a suitable seed bed for
the alfalfa. The object in blowing it
early is to allow the land to settle so
that the roots may have firm soil in
which to establish themselves before
winter comes. If the ground is ham
died in this manner it gives the young
and tender alfalfa plants an opportun-
ity to make such a growth and gain
such strength that its roots will pene-
trate the unplowed subsoil and be
practically proof against drought in
summer time and the heaving action Of
frost in winter. While alfalfa is a
tremendously vigorous grower after it
has started it is very delicate in its
younger days and the Importance of
a properly prepared seed bed is not
likely to be overestimated.

The panhandle section of Idaho
has got to get busy and organize in
a systematic and thorough manner
to secure its share of the immigra-
ton which will pour into the great
undeveloped northwest during the
season of 1911, unless it is figuring
on sitting suppinely by and allow
ing the south part of the state t.
walk right away from it. Hereto
fore this has practically been the
course pursued, and the result is
evidenced in the recent census re-
port, which shows that while Bon
ner county made a gain of 80 per
cent in ten years, six OF the south
ern counties increased all the way
from 100 in Elmore county to 610
per cent in Lincoln. Some of the
counties, it is admitted, have been
practically made by irrigation
within the last five years, but the
total disparity in increase of popu-
lation and wealth is not chargeable
to irrigation but to the push, and
snap, and energy, and intelligent
activity displayed on the part OF
the great boosters" of the south
end. There is do portion of this
moral heritage that has the ledge"
over Boomers Ferry and Bonner
Comfy for productiveness, certain
ty OF crops, health wealth. and all
that contributes to make happy and
prosperous homes where reigns
undisturbed peace and contentment
All that needs to be done is to let
the great army Of homeseekers
know just what awaits them in this
land of peace and plenty, and they
will do the rest. There are thous-
ands of good people who are hun
gering for just such opportunities
as this section offers to them, and
it is to our interest to let them
know about our advantages. Thou
sands of them came last year, the
records of the Union Pacific rail-
road showing that tickets were sold
10 the various western points dur
ing the colonist' season as follows
Colorado, 1863, Portland. 237S;
other Oregon points, 2377; Puget
Sound. and Washington, 1888; Ida
BIO, 2442; Montana, Nevada, Utah
and Wyoming, 1912. The increase
of Idaho over the colonists' period
last wear was 500. This is an indi-
cation of Idaho's rapid growth in
population, and this is but hegin-
ming of the great increase that will
come during 1911.
