Make the Farm More Attractive.
(From Idaho Country Life

Agricultural papers and periodicals
of all kinds have been writing at great
length on the subject: why the Boys
and Girls Leave the Farm" They
generally convey the idea that the
prime reasons for the farm boy or girl
going to the city are the long hours
of toll on the farm and the attraction
of the glare and glitter of the city. If
they are right in assuming these condi-
tons to be responsible for the boy or
girl leaving the farm the surroundings
on the farm should be made to APP
proach the attractions of the city.
Make the farm worth while There
are many things that are not of an ex-
pensive nature which could be done
that would add to the attraction and
comfort of the farm. A few trees
planted about the farm, we'll kept fence
rows, good fences, an attractive drive
to the house and around the farm
buildings, flower gardens, tennis
court, and many other things of like
nature can be done to beautify and
make more comfortable the surround
ings of the young.
A beautiful, well-kept farm always
demands enough greater price when
on the market to more than repay the
extra expense necessary for such inn

most perjudiced to let it alone, and

1t is gratifying to quote a man of
Mr.. Mannings standing and reliability
in this matter, for coming from him
everybody knows it means something
and the saving, offered by this little
machine in the harvesting of crops
means beyond question, just what he
says it does to the ranchers and to
the community at large.

NORTH FORK ROAD
TOBE CONSTRUCTED

ton Of the entire road, from Bruce's
Eddy to the Stiner ranch, will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, and
it is the intention of the present board
of commissioners to construct as much
thereof as the county can reasonably
afford at the present time, and to use
it's influence to get the matter Of state
aid before the next legislature, and
ask for an appropriation for it's COM
pletion.
The completion of this road will give
the Elk River and North Fork cOun-
tries direct route to the county seat,
and make the distance from Orofino
to Elk River matter of As miles and
practically one days drive, where I'M
der the present conditions, the time re-
quired to get from one place to the
other requires two days via ~Palouse
on the train, which is a distance Of
like 100 miles, and makes
necessary the expenditure of over $40
in railroad fare alone for the transac-
ton of business in either town.

spected the route for wagon road up
the North Fork of the Clearwater river
Tuesday, with a view of extending the
road from Bruce's Eddy up the river.
They found the former survey, made
by Edison Briggs of Nez Perez coun-
ty, year ago, to be SO situated that
the expense of construction would be
far more, and on very much heav-
Ter grade than the route they decided
upon, which is to follow along the
bank of the river.
Bids for the construction Of at
least one mile of this route will be
called for at once, and the county
surveyor is now engaged in making
the permanent location.
This is a much needed highway,
and is the beginning of opening up
of a highway, on water grade,
that will tap one of Clearwater

Ministerial Institute just Closed.

j. K. Luther is here for a few days
in the interest of foreign missions
and he says, the institute just closed
| at College Place, Wn., was one of the
greatest events ever held by the
Seventh Day Adventists in the north
west. There were present at this meet
ing Elders A. G. Daniels, the president
of the general conference; w. A. Spic-
er, secretary of the foreign mission
board and G. B. Tompson of Washing
ton, D. G. The studies were divided
between these men, Elder Spicer, 1.-THE

More than 100 ministers and Bible
workers answered to their names as
the roll was called.
The workers gathered from the
states of Washington, Idaho, Oregon,
and Montana. One great feature of
the work among Seventh Day Advan-
lists is the progress of their work.
Commencing about 65 years ago with
only a handful of believers, they have
grown until today they have spread
to all parts of the world. Last year
they gave over $1,5OOOOO to missions
and sent over 100 from the home land
to carry the message to regions be-
yond.
1t is a fact that of the 81 mission
fields entered by the great denomina-
lions of today, that only 10 have been
entered by any one of them, yet the
have entered and are op-
in so of these stations; and
10 or II others that are not named by
the bureau at Washington, d. C. When
asked why they are pushing out so
rapidly into different parts of the
earth, we are told, this is the object
of their work" They believe that
the Lord is coming soon and that as
soon as the Gospel of the Kingdom
S preached in all the world for wit |
1ess unto all nations, then shall the |
end come" They believe in spe-
,ial message for this time and the way
hey are going about to publish it,
shows that they have set their should

The Summer FalIOw Habit.
(From Idaho Country Life)

Summer following is justified in
some localities where the moisture of
two seasons is required for one crop.
But in the wheat belt of the Northwest
it is grand waste of time, money and
opportunity aside from the useless
waste of the soils store of humus.
Its loss of time and money is ap-
parent; and of opportunity, because
there are highly remunerative crops
which are we'll suited to fill the gap.
But the objectionable sin of summer
following is the utter waste of humus.
Cultivation produces nitrifcation by
stimulating bacterial action and in the
presence of moisture and oxygen these
bacteria fairly burn the humus of the
soil. The result is that more nitrates
are liberated than are required for
the succeeding crop. Leaching is,
therefore, encouraged and an excess
of straw produced which the farmer
usually burns.
In England two plats of ground,
one alternated with wheat and fallow,
one with wheat continuously, produc-
ed as an average at the end of forty
seven years 8.5 bushels for the fallow-
ed plat as against 124 bushels for the
continuous plat Moral: Don't b I
your humus. That is your birthris Il.
Ask your station for a suitable fallow
crop.

Expansion Of Naval Cost.

Naval estimates demand $129,000,00O
for next year. This is more than twice
the cost of the navy in the year of
the Spanish war or the year that fol-
lowed it; nearly ten times the cost OF
1886; greater than the current German
expenditure on navy; greater than that
of France and Italy combined.

1t has been pointed out by the Amer

trust, has imposed a penalty tax sole
ly upon our imports of this product
of nearly $50 per cent. In spite of this
handicap the American interests have
met the underselling of the German

pay. can put potash on the American

cans meet with a heavy loss. 1t is

Washington. Feb. Announcement
has just been made by Arthur L. Sar-

Kali works, that the price of muriate
of potash has been increased from
$35.75 per ton to $3.50. This price is
still about 81 per ton less than that
now actually paid by American buy
ers, inclusive of the German penalty
tax, although the Americans are still
meeting the competition. Since the
execution of contracts by Americans
that would have enabled them to ma Ike
a price of from $25 TO $26 per ton in
this country, which contracts have
been held up by Germany, the price
named by the German syndicate has
ruled without change until this in
