One of the most remarkable fedora
tions, and one that would have been
laughed at before President Roosevelt
appointed his Country Life Com
mission, recently met at Bloominton,
Ill. Twenty eight counties were rep
resented by more than thirty organiza-
tions. There we're ninety delegates,
tifty-f four of them from outside Nc
Lean county, of which Bloomington
is the county seat. The Grange had
twelve, farmers institute five, country
teachers association fifteen, the
church seven, the legislature three.
In addition to this, there were several

1t is always a pleasure to hear from
Ranch readers regarding their actual
experiences in chicken raising and |
wish more of them would favor us in
that way. While the following letter
from Mrs. Eva Pearsall, of Enum-
claw, WASH, was not intended for
publication it falls in SO pat with q
subject we have been discussing in
these columns recently that | have
decided to print it now, trusting that
l will not incur the writer's dis
pleasure by so doing. The experiences
of capable and successful poultry
raisers, thus given at first hand, are
of great benefit to the average reader.
Mrs. Pearsall writes as follows:
"Yours of the 4th inst. received and
1 thank you for the enclosed article
on the distillate room brooder and
the accompanying view. l had read
the article in The Ranch and quite
approved, for l too have visited the
large poultry ranches of Petaluma,
and others in the vicinity of San
Francisco, and am this season using
a Hunter distillate burner with the
room brooder system and find the
system huge success. The saving of
bunch of chicks l could not wish for.
1t seems peculiarly suited to our
climate. have added a strip of glass
across the south side of my house and
feel perfectly Independent of the un-
certain weather.
Another trouble that few of The
Ranch family are having is the loss
of young chicks by indigestion and
from a study of the details furnished
l think the cause in every instance
has been the feeding of the chicks
too soon after Matching and too copious
supply of drinking water at the
start. Thirty six hours after COM
pletion of hatch is soon enough for
the first feed, which should be very
sparing one and include some fine
grit or sharp sand and no water
should be given them until an hour
after that first feed and that too
should be given sparingly the first
time. | am glad to be able to state
that no cases of white diorrhoea have
been reported as yet.

and feed much the same ration as the
pullets. A good growth is what is
most desired and they must be kept
growing all the time, watched careful
ly and never allowed to get Oft their
feed. They are not such good rustlers
as the pullets and need even greater
care to prevent them from losing
appetite. Lots of green food must
be furnished them unless they are
out on pasture and their ration varied
as much as is possible while properly
constituted. A light feed of kidney
suet once or twice week is great
appetizer and conditioner, and when
this can be had and some soy bean
meal (Proteina) mixed into their dry
mash not much meat is needed in adj
dition; an occasional very light feed
of green bone or beef heads ground
up, bone meat and all, being sufficient.

SPANISH SHEPHERD.
ERS INJURED
Careless Handling of Gun
Powder the Cause of
Accident.

The explosion of powder was the
cause of three accidents this week,
[ in which four persons were severely
/ burned Three of the injured ones
are Spanish sheepherders and the
other is Jesse Green, the S-year-old
son of Mrs Myrtle Green, on East
Second street.
The first accident occurred Sat-
urday in one of the Van Deusen
sheep camps. Two Spanish camp
tenders-names unspellable and un-
pronounceable-w the victims.
One of them dropped some ashes
from a cigarette into 25 pounds of
powder inside a tent, and both he
and his companion were severely
burned about the face and the hands
The injured men were brought to
town for medical treatment. No ser
ious results are anticipated.
A sheepherder in the employ of
Andy Little, also a Spaniard, tried
pretty much the same trick. The
powder was contained in a glass bot
tie and besides sustaining severe
burns, he was cut by the glass. 1t
was found necessary to take him
to a hospital.
On Friday, Jesse Green found a
quantity of powder in the woodshed.
He and two other boys thought to
have a pyrotechnical display and ig-
nited it. Jesse applied the match |
and was the only one injured. His
face was badly burned, his eyebrows
and portions of his hair singed to !
the skin, and his hat was burned
10 a crisp. For time it was fear
ed he would lose his sight, but no
serious results are now expected.

Run Over by Wagon.

Monte Moore, the 5-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Moore, was
run over by heavily loaded
wagon on Saturday, but miraculousl
escaped injury aside from few Sc
we're bruises. The lad had climbed
upon the tongue of the trailer wag
on in which j. l.. Reed was hauling
wheat. When the wagon reached
the Moore residence, tn boy jumped
from the wagon, fell to the ground
and both wheels passed over his
body and legs. AS the wagon had
4 load of 2400 pounds upon it, his
escape from serious injury, if not
death, was nothing short of mirac-
ulous. Not bone was broken and
he is now able to sit up.

AN EASTER WEDDING
IN CHURCH
Congregation Treated to a
Surprise at Methodist
Church.

A very pretty wedding was the
concluding feature of most ex-
cellent Easter program at the Meth
odist church Sunday evening, and
came as most pleasant surprise
to the large congregation assem- bled,
when Mr.. Ora Lee Bever and Miss
Edith Florence Edwards marched
down the aisle to the soft strains
of Tannhauser's march played by
Mrs. Geo. D. Knipe, and were united
in marriage by Rev. c. l.. Bent, pas
tor of the church, of which both
the young people are members.
The beautiful and impressive ring
ceremony was used.
The marriage marked the culmi-
nation of love affair which
many Emmett people had watched
with much interest, but they were
taken completely by surprise at its
occurrence at this time. Not one
of those present, besides the rela-
lives of the bride, had so much of
suspicion that the pale young man
in the congregation and the inno-
cent little lady in the choir would
leave the church man and wife, and
few realized what was taking place
until Rev. Bent was half through
with the ceremony.
The bride has been a primary
teacher in the city schools for sew
eral years. She is the sister of
Mrs. Clarke Coulter and Mrs. VIM
Mr. Bever graduated
from the High school last spring
and is now employed as clerk in
E. NJ Reilly's store. Both are
worthy young people and popular
with their associates. A host of
friends extend congratulations and
best wishes.

PEACHES AT EMMETT
AS USUAL
Fruit Conditions Not Nearly
So Bad as First Re-
ported.

The cold wave last week, unprec'
edented in the history of this section
was general throughout the North
west, and great damage was done to
fruit. Killing frosts prevailed not
only in Idaho, but in Washington,
Oregon and Utah.
But the Emmett country, as usual
got off the lightest.
Early reports were most pessi-
mistic, and owing to the uncertain
ty of the damage The Index refrain
ed last week from sizing up fruit
conditions until definite reports
could be received After per-
sonal inspection of many orchards
Sunday by Henry Cooke and the
writer, together with reports from
different sections of this district, it
is safe to say that there will be con-
siderable fruit of all kinds except
prunes.
The Henry Cooke place will have
over so per cent crop of peaches
and rs per cent crop of apricots
Ed Modln will also have good croI
of peaches. The young orchards on
the C. w. Cook, T. B. Hargus and
R. McCool farms will have about
all the trees should bear. On the
old John Moulton place, now own
ed by Paul Kefauver, the damage
is spotted. The sweet cherries were
killed, and the pears badly damaged !
But will have a good many peaches.
The old prize Taker'' peach tree, /
which has been prize winner wher |
ever its fruit was exhibited and
which has produced $26 worth of I
peaches in season, will have pret
ty fair crop. J. l.. Jolley estimates
his peach crop at about 80 per cent,
which will give him four or five car.
loads. On the Elva Bell bench farm
now owned by F. H. SPOTS, here
will be over a so per cent crop.
James Vanderdasson, down the val
ley, reports this morning that he
will have a good crop of peaches,
nectarines, pears and apples.
The above reports, taken from diff
ferent sections of the district, give
an idea of how the fruit weathered
the storm. Considering smudging
as practiced in other sections is un-
known here and that the thermom- :
eter ranged from Z to IL degrees
below freezing point, the showing is
and is conclusive proof

that fruit was able to with
