ABOUT EQuS.

One hears the ranchrr annOunc-
ing with much pride how man eggs
he j. getting each day, but how
few of these farmers realize that
when their eggs reach the markets
of the metropolitan cities, they are
assorted according Ia size The
packing and asserting Of eggs in the
Chicago market is business OF
great magnitude and hundreds of
employers are kept busy continually
at this vocation. Their duties are
many, but one of the foremost con-
-ideratiunS j. the size When a
case i received il is al once sent
To- the assorters, who carefully
guage them according to size, being
marked, |, ,, ,, etc, the No. /, or
larger one- always bringing the
top price.
Some farmers near the markets
realize the Importance of this and
are selecting their chickens with Il
view ~ L. the size more than the
quantity they will produce. We
believe the western farmer would
find il To- his advantage To follow
the experiments of his eastern
brother, with the result that his
egg would find better and more
ready market
This was prompted by an egg
contest recently held al Glenns
Ferry of which the Gazette of that
place says: Several dozens OF
eggs were brought i'll and every one
thought that they would surely win
the prize for the heaviest dozen
Mrs. W. G. Scholtz won the dollar
prize for the heaviest dozen of eggs
the egg weighing 3l3 ounces. Mrs
w O. Mcclure won second prizt
and Henry Hafer third prize Il
is certainly surprising that there i
such difference in the weight ano

SCENES OF ACTIVITY.
The Water Co. has Opened Their
Spring Work In Earnest. With
Large Force OF Men
and Teams.
Work at the Hugh Reservoir to be
Pushed TO Completion.

On Saturday last carload OF |
machinery consigned TO the Twin |
Falls Land & Water Co. arrived
here, and like all others, being cur
iOus TO know the use to which it
was to be put, we made inquiries
and found it was for device TO be
used for raising or lowering the
headgates at the reservoir. There
are four large openings through the
dam, which in turn are divided
into four equal parts, thus making
sixteen headgates, each two feet
wide, which can be raised or low
cred at will, thus regulating the flow
Of water "a the demand requires.
This hugh machine will he used for
this purpose, and while il can be
operated by hand, a gasoline en-
gine will be placed there temporar-
ily until electricity is available for
the purpose.
Active work was resumed on the
reservoir last Saturday and the
| Co. had Il horses AT work and ex-
poets 10 increase the number to $50
head by the end Of this week. The
north dam is completed, but there
still remains some work To- be done
on the south dam, necessitating the
moving OF about &C, 200 yards of
dirt, which is a small item COM
pared TO the 1872 900 yards which
has already been handled exclusive
uf excavations. Ii is expected that
the work will be completed within
80 days. The reservoir is filling
gradually, with comparatively very
little seepage, and the holding ca
pacity much better than was even
anticipated There will be suffic-
lent water for the entire tract,
| should the snake river even run
dry.
The company now have about
| 100 teams al work on different
parts of the segregation, repairing
the canals and putting them in
proper shape, which they hope to
complete by April lst
Water will he turned into several
OF the canals and coulees the last
III the week or the first of next
and the company, A. well as every
settler on the tract has hopes that
no unforeseen accident will prevent
a continual flow during the irrigat-
ing season.

Thousands of additional acres of
land viii be put under cultivation
fur fruit in southern Idaho the
coming season, says Mr.. Mcpherson
of the tate agricultural department,
and his ,Iatements are not out of
place considering the large acreage
that will br put in ON the North
Side tract this spring. Idaho has
the start To become the leading
fruit state in the Union, and the
PROSPECT is that il is going Ia main
tain the pace which has been estab-
lished. The soil and climate are
the most favorable of any vicinity
in Idaho. These facts should he
brought before those who are look
ing for fruit lands. There is only
one way To do this, through organ
ization and advertisings'

THE IDAN-HA COMPANY.
The Organization Now Perfected and
Active Work Already Com
menced.

q. ii. Brayton OF Chicago has
completed the organization OF the
Idan-Ha Company with a capital
stock of $50, 900, notice OF the in
corporation of which we called at
tention To last week. The company
has taken over l20 acres Of the
Idan-H Ha ranch, which is located
three miles south and two miles
west of Jerome. Twenty acres Of
this land has already been put in
prime condition for fruit culture
and the company has already pur-
| chased trees enough 10 cover this
acreage, which will be put out this
spring, the ultimate intention OF the
company being 10 convert the en-
tire l2O acres into an apple orchard
a. fast a. they can put the land in
proper condition.
Associated with Mr.. Brayton are
| Mes-r- j b. Thomas, +. ID. Bald
win, W r. Young. w b. Davies,
Eugene Buehlcr, NJ J. Glare, a NJ
Gin and j. +. Brayton, all Chicago
capitalists, with sufficient means 10
carry the undertaking through To 4
successful completion. Mr.. l.. NJ &.
Whitehead, who has had charge OF
the tract for the past season will still

and will represent the company
here, and his knowledge OF fruit
culture insures the ultimate succea9
OF the enterprise.
Active work has already com
menced on the tract and worknen
are now busy constructing rabbit
proof fence around the entire quar-
ter section.
Mr.. Brayton is we'll known in
Jerome, having visited here before
and his judgment in selecting this
particular locality for fruit culture
is source of qualification TO the
settlers OF the North Side tract, who
are always ready 10 welcome in

ing money for permanent improve
ments and the upbuilding OF the

ALFALFA MEAL.
How the Surplus Crop Of Alfalfa Can
Be Used Prohtably With
Little Expense.

The fact that a large acreage Of
alfalfa will be sown By the farmers
on the North Side Tract this spring
has raised question Of doubt in
the minds Of some as 10 the profita-
bic disposal Of it, They look with
alarm AT the condition on the South
Side, where stack after stack can be
seen with practically no market for
il, and wonder if the same condi-
tionS will not prevail here.
Fortunately the North Side has
nothing to fear from the situation
that cOnfronts our neighbors ON the
south. We are located in close
proximity Ia the large sheep herd
ing ranches 10 the north of us, and
il il safe to say that our farmers
could right now contract for the
sale of every surplus pound Of hay
they could produce, To these sheep
owners, al a good fair price, n
their ability to procure hay near at
hand would save them many dollars
in transportation fees.
But, laying this all aside, another
use for alfalfa hay has been found
that puts to rest any fear that the
farmer may have a. Ia over produc
tion. Ii has been found that the
hay can been ground into meal al Il
small expense, and be led TO stock
in this form with much better re-
suits than can be- obtained by feed
ing the hay, a. there is no loss, and
the nutriinent power will be found
much stronger.
This is fully substantiated By Il
practical test made by Frank Mill.

from the herd, or an average o.
nearly one-half gallon increase from
each cow per day.
The above figures are approx
mately correct and will be verified
by Mr.. Millsap, and fully demon
strates the practicability of thi
meal as feed for stock.
A new mill is being put in Il
Filler on the South Side, which in
sures the farmers a price of not les
than $500 per ton for their hay
A ton OF hay will practically max

not advised a. to the amount to b

that it will not exceed the pric

ID. c. Baldwin, engineer of the

land board last week 10 seek infor-
nation regarding the amount OF
money the state would be willing to
expend this year. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the government and the
state to share the expenses. Mr..
Baldwin estimated that il would take
s12, 900 10 do the work he contem-
plates, thus meaning that the state
should pay $4,000, but the hoard
thought otherwise and allowed
$4,000, with the understanding that
Mr. Baldwin might appear before
the board at a later date and pre-
sent the claim for more money in
the event a larger fund were abso-
lutely necessary for needed work.
