To meet the requirements Of a
good farmer it is necessary to spend
some OF the winter weather in study
ing the problems Of the farm.
Orchard and Garden.

Those who argue that fruit is uncer.
tain and that the orchard is seldom
profitable do not give an estimate OF
the work given their trees 1t may be
that their orchards do not get much
attention, which, of course, explains
why they are improbable.
Permanent labels for trees and
shrubs may be made from zinc cut
into strips. If the name is written on
the zinc with an ordinary lead pencil
1t will prove indeliblc and will not be
affected by the elements.
1t is a good idea to plan now for an
evergreen windbreak TO protect your
orchard, but do not set the trees now;
wait until spring.
Store the ladders under cover, but
give them good coat of paint first.
Good garden implements are essen
tial for successful gardening. Much
OF the benefit and pleasure derived
from work in the garden is missed by
having poor tools. Spend part of the
winter leisure in getting the tools In
shape.
Prepare the soil for your bedding
plants which are to be planted next
spring. You cannot take too much
pains in preparing the soil.
If you have decided to diversity your
crops carry out the idea by planting
several kinds of fruits The garden,
too, should show a nice variety. You
may specialize If you wish. but be sure
to have something else besides your
speciality.
Get busy with the saw and pruning
shears and clean out every dead End
eankered branch.

Pruning In Winter.

Now is the best time to take out
dead branches from old orchard trees,
says the American Cultitvator. Some
of the leaves are still on, and 1t IL
easy to pick out dead limbs. Pruning
now will save much extra work In the
spring, when time is precious More.
over, many insects and diseases will
be destroyed. To make sure of it burn
the limbs. Dead limbs provide excel
lent camping grounds for insects and
diseases. Always cut close to the
trunk; do not leave stub.

The Active Sloth Bear.

THE sloth bear appears TO be the
most active of all the bears in the ZOO
Whoever misnamed the animal ought
to bestow more appropriate title"
said woman visitor who sat on a
bench in front of the bear dens.
"a more BETTING designation would
be 'Ursus pugilisticus' or something
like that. for he is certainly the most
pugnaciOus of all the bruin specimens
here. And he gets away with it. too,
although he weighs only go pounds.
l saw him knock out the hairy cared
bear in n fierce fight over a piece Of
meat, and he gets the better of the
great YeZO bear of about 1000 pounds
in the adjoining Enclosure. They fight
through the bars. You can hear the
swapping of the big bears jaws as he
fails TO catch his opponent. But the
nervous sloth bear is as quick as q
cat with his long claws and gets i'm a
dig on the other ones muZZle that
makes him snort with pain."-New

The first posts are said to have orig

out the kingdom Of Persia. Augustus
was the first to introduce this institu-
ton among the Romans. 81 B. c., and
he was initiated by Charlemagne about
500 A. ID. Louis NJ. was the first
sovereign to establish post houses in

Salt and the Romans.

Splitting of salt is n superstition still
current among us. 1t is derived from
the ancient Romans. who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it as
sacred TO Penates. To spill it careless
ly was to incur the displeasure of
these household divinities. After ac-
cidentally splitting salt the ancient Ro-
man was wont TO throw some over the
left shoulder-the shoulder of i'll omen
thereby hoping TO call away from his
neighbor the wrath of the Deity and
turn it upon himself

They impede Circulation In the Scalp
and Invite Badness.
Ingenious men are continually con-
irving new kinds Of shoes, new sus-
penders and hundreds Of different
kinds Of braces. but so far, says the
Therapeutic Gazette. no one has taken
up the idea of making hat which will
hold on the head and not blow Off and
at the same time not bind the head all
around like constructing band.
Some men 60 without hats at times
with the idea that the hair is improved
by ventilation and sunshine. Undoubt-
eddy this does improve it, but the prime
secret is not in not wearing the hat at
all. The ventilated hat will not pre-
vent badness If this same hat be worn
tightly around the head. If string
be tied ever so lightly around the fin
ger the effect upon the circulation
may be easily marked in the end Of
that finger. A tight hat will affect the
circulation Of the scalp in the same
way.
Hats which are easily blown off
should never be worn, as they will not
stay on unless damned so tightly upon
the head as to impede circulation. All
stiff, rigid hats should be very light.
and one should select size larger
than the head measurement and cor
rect the over size by inserting felt
strips under the sweat band, thus Civ
ing cushion-like effect and prevent
ing the construction at that portion Of

As OTHERS sEE Us

| w. P. Townsend Of Gresnville,
Ohio, who with his wife recently
visited the Valley, writes the fol-
lowing to his home paper, the
Advocate: -
1--WE are having very fine trip,
and have been staying at this town
except the time We have spent
making various trips to the many
interesting parts of the mountains.
1t is impossible for one to imagine
how beautiful the scenery is, more
especially at sunrise and sunset.
'The sun shines almost oontin-
ually throughout the days since we
have been here, although one is
not uncomfortably warm while in
the sun, but is rather cool while
in the shade. The coolest nights
here at this time of the year are not
quite cool enough to produce
frost.
"The soil is extremely rich, and
owing to the scarcity of rain, agri.
culture is made profitable bymeans
of irrigation. Wheat and oats are
Just being harvested at the present
time. The crops are exceedingly
good from my point of view, but
the people here say they are not
quite up to the average. I have
seen oats ION the class ranches)
which is six and seven feet tall and
some of the ranchmen are expect
ing the yield to be as high as It's
bushels per acre, and indeed it
does look reasonable. Other crops
such us wheat, alfalfa, potatoes
and sugar beets which are adapted
to this climate grow in practically
the same proportion"

A CHALLENGE

Referring to the boycott of the
Rocky Mountain News by the big
advertisers that paper closes first
page double loaded article by say
ing:
"The News has neither tremor
nor impotence. As surely as the
day follows the night, 80 surely
are the old tyrannies falling. And
the Bossism, the Graft. the Be-
trayal of the People to Special
Privilege are topping into the
abyss of discarded wrongs.
"The News will be here to write
the epitaph of these tyrannies.
when the Boyootters are gone and
forgotten"
Tho editor of the JOURNAL was,
at one time, threatened with q
boycott and was surprised to learn
how timid and cowardly capital is
when it runs up against q news
paper that has the courage to fight
for its convictions of right, and
denounce wrong.
