Canyon county viii hold an cleo
tion Saturday TO vote upon the is
suanCe of bonds for three bridges
I'm The Payette valley, one at Fruit
land another at New Plymouth and
the third at Letha. The estimated
cost OF each bridge Is between $l5,-
600 and $4,000. The polls will
open at 8 a. m. and close at z p.
m.
At the present time the Plyette
valley IL poory supplied in bridges
and the lack is a great inconyen-
ienoe to farmers, stockmen and The
travelling public. There are now
but three places in a stretch of
over 80 miles where the river can
be crOssed-one at Emmett, one at
Falks and the other at Payctte
This perhaps WIS sufficient in the
early days OF this country. but 1t
isn't now With an assessed valua-
ton of over 2 million dollars, this
county can afford TO invest S45,-

means such a saving in time to
farmers and travellers. II looks
like a good business proposition to
vote for the bridges

About Hayforks

Two years ago the Hawkins hard
ware store introduced an improve
ment in hayforks over the old style
that was greatly appreciated by the
farmers. This hay tool bears the
famous Keen Kutter brand. 1t is
especially appreciated in handling
alfalfa, as the construction of the
tines permits no hay to hang on the
fork. 1t is a time saver and la
Dor saver and there is large de-
mand for this fork. We have al
ready sold large numbers of them.
If you haven't already used ii, call
at the store and let us show you
its advantages We know you will
like it. We have other kinds of
forks, too. Hawkins hardware.

TWO FINE PICKLES
PROPERLY PUT UP, WILL KEEP
INDEFINITELY.
Cucumbers and Walnuts Are About as
Generally Popular as Any That
the Housewife Can Put Up
for Winter.

Cousin Ruth's Cucumber Pickles.
The pickles take about a week in the
making. allowing ten minutes a day,
but they will keep indefinitely and are
crisp and delicious to the end
Take half a bushel of small cucum-
bers. wash them, and let them lie in a
jar OF very cold water for "a hours.
At the expiration of this time, pour off
the water and replace 1t with a hot
brine, composed of one quart of coarse
salt and sufficient water to cover. Aft
er another "a hours have elapsed, pour
off the brine, wash In cold water, aud.
instead of the brine, put on hot alum
water. using one-quarter of pound of
alum with the requisite quantity OF
water. Let the cucumbers stand in
this for II hours. then wash them, and
let them lie in cold water for the next
IL hours At this point scald equal
parts of vinegar and water and pour 1t
over the cucumbers. The next morn
ing remove the mixture, reheat and
pour 1t back again Do this two more
mornings-four in all. On the fourth
morning take sufficient vinegar-fresh
cider vinegar If possible-to cover the
cucumbers. Add five pounds of brown
sugar, and a quarter Of a pound of
cassia buds. Heat all together; pour
over the cucumbers, and set the
pickles away. Some small red peppers
may be placed on top, If that flavor is
desired.
Mrs. Hogans Picked Walnuts.-
Gather the nuts when good size, but
still tender enough to be pierced with
a coarse needle. Prick several places
with the needle and put in stone
jar. Cover with a strong brine and let
remain three days. Drain and put in
sufficient brine to remain three days
longer, Drain again and spread on
platter for several hours. Put one gal
Ion of vinegar In a porcelain-lined ket-
tie and add to II one tablespoonful
each of whole cloves, allspice and gin

pepper.corns and one dozen blades of
mace Put the kettle over the fire and

STEADY PRICES FOR
FRUIT ASSURED
State Horticultural lnspec-
tor Submits Interesting
Figures.

II Is doubtful II there Is a more
sanpuine fruit man In the state OF
Idaho than horticultural Inspector
Mcpherson In this respect he is
the right man in the right place.
He sees no limit To the possibilities
o fruit culture In this state.
In 1906" he said TO the States
man, las shown by the regular re-
ports on the subject, this state had
A7,S69 acres Ia fruit. There were
shipped from the state In that year
2O03 ears OF fruit which brought
in revenue the sum OF 81, $50.
q am giving you these official fig
urcs to show you how this industry
is growing.
Last year. in 1910, there were
20 900 acres of fruit In Idaho From
these acres there were shipped 1000
cars O apples. which brought $780,
600: 500 cars Of pruues, which
brough S4OO. 00O and enough
other fruits to bring the total re-
venue for the year up TO $4,000
900 Compare these figures with
those OF 1906, and you get good
idea as to what IS being done 20
bring Idaho 70 the front as a fruit
state
1.-THE acreage Of fruit this year.
and the number Of young trees
just coming into bearing will carry
the total far ahead of the best pre-
yious year. The shipments from
the state win be in accordance with
the output.
MANY ask me, continued Mr.
Mcpherson, what is to be the ulti-I
mate outcome of an this fruit cul-
ture. The fear Is expressed that
the market win be glutted and there

Just now there is no complaint
as to the way the market is opening
Prunes are being contracted for at
$50 a ton and apples are being
picked up at $40 to $45. These
are considered good prices. All
small fruits have yielded well this
year with the single exception Of
strawberries; it was too cold and
wet for them at the proper season,
and they have proved somewhat o.
a disappointment All other small
fruits have done exceedingly well,
and prices have been good for the
most part.
