He started east four weeks ago
and visited the most famous herds
in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa; after
examining these splendid herds,
Professor, Kinzer selected eighteen
young bulls and heifers.
These animals are the best that
have been brought to the west
and are to be used as the founda-
ton of college herd which will
furnish the farmers of Idaho with
the best animals for breeding stock.
Among the Herefords are to be
found one young bull and two
heifers from the wellknown herd
of Jack Cudahy of Kansas City;
one young bull and one heifer from
]. M. Curtis of independence,
Kansas and two heifers from the
Hazlett herd of Eldorado, Kansas.
One shorthorn bull and three
heifers were purchased from ]. r d..
Thomson of Dover, Kansas.
From the Kansas State College
two splendid Angus heifers were
obtained. One is full sister of the
famous Symboleer, the reserve
grand champion steer of the Inter
national stock show at Chicago.
The university feels very proud
of these fine animals, and the stock

breeding stock from them.
This is one of the many great
movements of the University OF
Idaho for the direct aid and benefit
of the citizens of the state.

ADVICE ON SUMMER PRUNING
c. c. Vincent, Horticulturalist, Writes
Letter of Interest to Fruit Growers

A number of letters have been
received recently by the Idaho
State Experiment Station in which
advice is asked in regard to summer
pruning of FIVE year old apple and
fruit trees. c. c. Vincent, asso-
ciate professor of horticulture says
in answer to the quiries
This department has been carry
ing on a summer VS. winter
pruning experiment for a number
of years, and the records show that
where summer pruning was resorted
to a material increase in the yield
per tree was secured. The time of
pruning during the summer, and
the amount of wood removed has
influenced greatly the yield per
tree. In our experiments we have
found that best results were secured
when the pruning was done after
the terminal buds had formed.
Any fruit grower can easily deter
mine when these buds have set by
examining the ends of the twigs.
Better results will be secured if
the fruit-grower will wait un-
til these buds have hardened
slightly. In many localities
in the southern part of the state
the fruit growers should commence
summer pruning within the next
two weeks. The trees i'll the
northern part of the state will pro-
badly not be ready before the latter
part of the month. The season
has great deal to do with the
formation of these buds. -
AS stated before the amount of
wood removed will influence great
ly the yield per year. We have
secured better results by pruning
moderate, cutting back from one
third to one-half of the year ;
growth. Do not cut away all of
this year growth. The removal
of a portion of the current year 5
growth is, to certain extent, slim
ulating to the remaining portion OF
the tree, for the surplus food will
be deposited in the remaining buds
causing them to swell to double
their size. This aids them in form
ing flower organs. If summer
pruning is done during early sum
mer, the flow of sap would have a
tendency to force out another ter
minal growth thus destroying the
main object the fruit grower is
striving for the formation of fruit
Summer pruning, as a rule, does
not affect the present years croI
but will have some bearing or
succeeding crops"

A ~PERPLExING PROBLEM.

The treasury department having de.
cided that a hen is not a bird-bird a. |
eggs being admitted free Of duty and
hens eggs having to pay five cents q
dozen-it is now up to the postof1ce
department to settle q momentous
question arising from the ownership
of eggs laid In the mails, says the
Yellowstone Journal.
The national association of poultry
breeders, anticipating the passage of
the parcels post bill, recently inquir-
ed of Postmaster General Hitchcock
if poultry might be sent through the
mail. In an unofficial statement the
department answered th at, should the
parcels post measure be enacted, there
would probably be no objection to
shipping the fowls, stamped. The
postm aster general, however, was of
the opinion that some one would have
to be deleg ated to look out for the
we'll being of the "%perishable mail"
and then some n raised the question
of the ownership of the eggs laid by
the hens while in Uncle Sans care.
Would they belong to the sender of
the hens; to the receiver of the hens,
or to the government?
There not being any legislation al
ready enacted upon the subject, the
postmaster general designated Jesse
Sutor, chief of the bureau of informa.
ton Of the postofice department, to
look into the matter. Jesse, after
several days spent in q vain search
through dusty tones on postal laws
and regulations has about decided to
give up the job, for he says there are
no presidents. Therefore, it will be
up to the courts to decide the owner.
ship of any offspring of the fowls.
Like the freight agent in Ellis Par
ker Buffers "Pigs Is Pigs" Suter
thinks the eggs ought either to be
given to the mail clerks or be con.
tiscated by the government as an aid
ia further decreasing the deficit which
is the bugbear of the department.

May fortifY Canal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Any fear
that the right of the United States to
fortify the Panama canal might be
challenged and forced to arbitr alton
under the provision of the pending
Anglo-American arbitr alton has been
dispelled by a statement from official
sources that Great Britain already
formally has acknowledged that right.
On several occasions this acknow-
ledgment has been made, it was learn.
ed today, but all doubt is said to have
been removed by q communication in
writing from the late Secretary Hay
to the senate, explanatory of the un-
Outstanding he had reached with the
British representatives when the Hay.

ated.

cause they wanted Hayes but because
they did not want Blaine. That event
goes into political history az q STAN
pede, though II was far from being the
kind of demonstration that brought
about the nomination of Garfield. 1t
is q notable fact that At one time or
another q majority of the delegates to
the Cincinnati convention voted for
Blaine but not on any one ballot.
The only other instance OF q STAN
pede in q convention of either party in
than fifty years OF political his
tory was that 10 the democra attic con.
vention of 1868 held in New York.
Many candida tes were voted for in
that gathering and the old line demo
cratic leaders were apprehensive all
the time that an effort would be made
at an opportune moment % stampede
the deleg ates for Chief Justice Salmon
P. Chase. This they headed of i'm.
mediately after the twenty first ballot
by precipitations a stampede for
Horatio Seymore, who had been pre-
siding over the convention. He was
a reluctant candid ate, but he did not
finally decline. His nomination was
made In q way not unlike that of Car
field twelve years later.
These instances exhaust the history
of stampedes for half a century. At
tempts have been made at other times,
but not one has been effective. The
nomin alton of Bryan in 1896 has been
mistakenly referred to as q stampede.
1t was nothing of the kind. 1t was q
great and somewhat d%isorderly hur-
rah, but Bryan as q candid ate grew on
every ballot, and when on fifth he had
within twelve votes of enough to NOM
mate him many changes occurred
which made him the candidate.
In all the conventions of either party
with the exception of the three noted,
the choice of q candidate has been the
result OF deliberate consideration on
the part O: the delegates, or Of the
concentr alton of party sentiment upon
q candidat long before the conven-
ton assembled. National conventions
are generally characterized by q
healthy enthusiasm, but they are never
ratified, and not to be stampeded ex-
cept under very unusual circumstan.

Explains Registration Law.

Following q request made at the re-
cent session In Missoula of the Mon
tsna Association of County Clerks,
Attorney General A. j. Galen has
made public q lengthy opinion in
which various sections of the e re-
gistr alton law are defined.
1t ia held that the registration under
the new law applies only to general
elections, primary nomin ating elect
ions, general municipal elections,
general school elections, and epecial
county elections. The attorney gen.
eral holds that the county clerks may
correct any clerical errors committed
by them, that county clerks may reg.
lister electors at other hours than be-
tween nine q. m. and five p. m. on
legal days If they so desire, or the de-
mands of the registr alton justify such
q course, that electors of the state who
are employed at Washington D. c.,
or at other places on official business
must register in person and not by
afid avit.
A new ruling is that q homesteader,
who has done everything that Is neces'
sary and by law required of him to be
done prior to the insurance of patent
Is q freeholder, within the meaning Of
the registration law, even though the
patent has not been formally issued
by the government.

STAMPEDING CONVENTIONS.

It is easier to suggest the stamped
ing OF a national convention than 1t
is to accomplish 1t. 1t is not impos-
sible because such q thing has been
done, but ia the whole history OF the
republican party there have been only
two occurrences In its national con-
ventions thai could be fairly called q
stampede; aud in that time the demo-
cratic party has had but one similar
experience.
In the Chicago convention of 1880
Garfield was undoubtedly nominated
in q stampede. The convention had
exhausted itself in the struggle between
Grant and Blaine. 1t had been sitting
for seven days during which time every
possible point had been contested,
and more than thirty ballots taken
without material change In the vote IS
cast on the first roll call. The con.
vention was In q deadlock. 1t was
apparent that NEITHER Blaine nor
Grant could be nominated. On the
thirty.fourth ballot Wisconsin broke
to Garfield, who up to that time had
received no more than two votes on
any ballot. That begun q stampede
which was completed by Garaeld's
nomir..tion on the thirty-sixth ballot,
though the Grant delegates-the fam
Gus 206-held out to the last.
While q less conspicuous instance
the nomination of Hayes In the Gin
cinnsti convention four years before
was also considered q stampede,
though Hayes had been formly pre-
scented % q candidate. His vote
steadily grew from the first until on
the sixth ballot he had more votes
than any other candidate except
Blaine. On the seventh ballot the
Blaine opposition turned in for Hayes
and effected his nomin alton, not be-

HIS HAT is IN THE RING.

an active candid ate for the republican
presidential nomin alton assures q live
ly time among the politicians. The
friends and opponents of Mr.. Roose.
welt will certainly get busy, and there
will be one of the most strenuous
fights ever made for the coveted prize.
Can Roosevelt come back? That is
q question to which no reliable answer
can be made. II the matter could be
decided by popular vote his chances
for securing the nomination would be
considered excellent, but the action
OF a national convention composed of
elements that may not represent the
choice of the voters cannot be antici-
pated. Control of the convention by
Roosevelt's opponents will insure his
defeat.
The decision of Mr.. Roosevelt to
enter the ace for presidential honors
came as a surprise to those who were
under the impression that he re-
nounced desire for further political
preferment several years ago. 1t is q
natter of record that on November 8,
1904, just after the election u which
he was chosen for the presidency, Mr..
Roosevelt made this public statement:
"On the 4th of N4rth 'ext I shall
have served three al d half years,
and this three and q half years con
stitute my first term. The wise Gus
tom which limits the president to two
terms regards the substance and not
the form, and under no circumstances
will l be q candidate for or accept
another nomin alton"
This announcement was generally
considered to mean that at no future
time would MIR. Roosevelt seek presi-
Dental honors, but q different con-
struction is submitted by Mr.. Roose-
welt himself IN q recent interview In
which he says:
"My position is perfectly simple. l
stated it as clearly as I possibly
could in 1904 aud reiterated in 1907.
I said l would not accept q nomina-
ton for q third term under any cir.
cumstances, meaning, of course, q
third consecutive term. I could not
have said less at the time, nor could
l have said more. OF course, 1 could
not then know whether or not there
would be q demand for me to accept q
nomination at some future time and
believing as l did that q selection Of
candida tes for the presidency rests en-
tirely upon the people, I could not 50,
that at no time in my life would I &C
cept another nomination.
SIT must be clear to any reasonable
man th at the precedent which forbidl
the third term has reference only to
third consecutive term. 1t grew ou'
of the fact that a president Of the
United States under the convention
system Of electing delegates, can, /:
he knows how to use the machinery a
his disposal, ~renominate himself, ever
though the majority of his party II
against him. But. after be has beer
out of office for o term he has los
control Of that machinery. He is i.
the position absolutely OF q private
citizen. The machinery then Ia 10 tn
hands of the man occupying the ofic'
for president"
Whatever view of this matter i
taken, the candidacy of Mr.. Roosevelt
for the republican presidential nomi
nation is now a fact. His hat is il
the ring.
