BIG MEETING OF REPUBLICANS

Last Wednesday;~the goth of Sep
tember, there was a meeting of th'
| members of the Republican Stat,
Central committee at Boise, ant
with this as an object, many prom
inent Republicans of the Gem State
gathered as they have generally done
for state nominating convention.
AS early as Sunday preceding the
meeting they began to gather, and
many of them stayed the week out
State Chairman Chas. L. Heitman, Of
Wallace, was there, Secretary Addi-
son T. Smith, nearly all the members
Of the state committee, and many
members of the county committees,
lay members of the party, Senator
W. B. Hepburn, Senator w. E. Borah,
Representative l.. French, Ex-C0n-
gressman Thos. R. Hamer, Lieuten-
ant Governor L. w. Sweetser. Paul
Clagstone, defeated candidate for
governor in the last campaign and an
avowed candidate for the campaign
of 1912.
Judge Jame' F. Ailshie, of the SUI
preme court, who had been talked or
as candidate for governor for the
next campaign, announced through
the press that he would not be in the
race, but would give his whole atten-
tion to the work before him as Judge.
At harmony meeting held on the af-
ternoon of the goth, L. w. Sweetser
being called upon for speech sprung
a surprise by saying that he would
not be candidate on account of the
claims of the people of the north that
the next governor should be selected
from North Idaho. He created some
merriment by adding that his WITH
drawal was not accompanied by any
pl omise or promises from anybody,
that there was no bargain or barr
gains of any kind, and that he did
it of his own free will ande accord.
In closing his remarks he asid, And
now, believe me in the words of the
politician, 1 am, yours very truly"
The meeting throughout was
very pleasant affair, affording oppor-.
tunity for them to get acquainted and
to- discuss matters of interest when
in the way of strife affected
them. 1t is generally conceded that
Senator Borah will be returned to
the United States senate, and that a
new, or comparatively new, man in
Idaho politics will be nominated for
chief executive.
Meeting of Republican Editors
On the evening of the goth there
was meeting of all the Republican
newspaper men who were then visit
ing in Boise, the number being
about 20. They held their delibera-
tions in the Rose room of the Owyhce
hotel, and gave attention to matters
pertaining to conducting newspapers
as party organs and conducting them
on high clean plan.
The meeting was presided over by
Byrd Trego, of Blackfoot, and every
body present entered into the dis
cussion with such vim that the ses-
sion lasted until late hour. The
of written and unwritten laws to
ranging from enforcement of the To-
eel option law down through the list
of written and unwritten laws to
payment of campaign assessments by
the candidates, was gone into vigor-
ously by men holding highly different
opinions as to what newspaper is
for, whether as simple
business venture to make money or
as philanthropic-patriotic-
work-and-go-hungry institution that
ought to have good bank account
but generally doesn't.

sow ALFALFA IN DRY AREAS
Plant Produces Better Crops On Land
That Has Been Worked Than
on Newly Broken Soil.

The advice which claims that alfalfa
should not be sown as the first crop
on breaking is good. ut the reasons
for the same are not always correct
1t Ia generally claimed that time
should be given for the sod to decay.
writes Prof. Thos. Shaw In the DakO-
Ia Farmer. There Ia a measure of
truth in that explanation, but It is not
the real reason why alfalfa does bet

The alfalfa will probably grow quickly
until the roots reach the dry ground.
This they will not penetrate as long
as II remains dry.

The explains II. part at least. why
alfalfa produces better crops when
sown on land that has been worked
while than when sown on newly
broken land The longer that the
land has been judiciously worked, the
deeper the soil moisture may be ex-
pected to go, up to certain limit
That limit should not be less than
eight to ten feet.
When alfalfa starts vigorously and
the plants soon become strong, they
have greater power to establish good
root system in the soil. The plants
should not be too crowded or the
moisture supply will not be enough.
and the plants will be correspondingly
weak In an abnormally dry season
such plants will not furnish large
yields.
What has been said does not imply
that alfalfa should never be sown on

POULTRY NOTES.

Always keep your poultry house
light and dry.
Any person can keep poultry. but
every one cannot get poultry to keep
him.
Kindness wins-even with chickens.
1t is said that hawks never attack
ducklings
Poultry cannot be successfully
raised without the application OF brain
and muscles.
The country fairs are announced
the home one.
You will secure much better stock
for the poultry yard by purchasing
cockerels early.
The man who uses system is the
one who accomplishes the most work
with the least effort.
The dust bath is necessary to the
health and is a great aid to keep the
fowls free from lice.
Do not neglect the pullets, for the
sooner they are matured the sooner
they will begin to lay.
Weak chicks from poor stock VII
| never repay the owner for the time he
puts in caring for them.
Turkey raisers find 1t profitable to
have guinea fowls with the turkey
flock. They act as police.
The first point to investigate when
buying eggs or day-old chicks Is the
vitality of the parent stock
Clean out the houses and coos
! ,hen spread the manure over the gar
den after digging or blowing.
Feed plenty of meat In the TO I'm OIL
table scraps, beef scraps or cut fresh
bone, and your pullets Will lay earlier
and better.
Most poultry raisers overreed. for
getting in their interest in prospective
chicken dinners the fact that fat hens
will not lay steadily.
Give the late Matched chickens a
chance by feeding them separate from
! the older ones and giving them a
! fresh. clean range where other stock
! does not go.
The caponizing season is on and
! poultry raisers that have never tried
this method of producing fat. young
! rahle birds can try their hand at the

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOUR BABY !?

The young mother-and many an old

loudness of its crying does not neces-
sarily indicate the seriousness of It's
trouble. 1t may have nothing more the
matter with 1t than a headache or a feel
Ing OF general dullness. 1t cannot, of
course, describe Its feelings. but as
preliminary measure YOU are safe in
trying a mild laxative.
Nine times out of CNn, you will find It
is all the child needs, for Its restlessness
and peevishness are perhaps due to OBJ
struction OF the bowels, and once that
has been remedied the headache the
sluggishness and tho many other evil
dences of constipation and indigestion
will quickly disappear.
Don't give the little one salts. cathar-
tic pills or nasty waters, for these will
act as purgatives. and they are too
strong for a child. In the families Of
