MARKET FOR HAY.
Shortage Elsewhere Makes Good De.
mand In Idaho at Fair Prices.

Twin Falls has finally unloaded the
hay that had been stacked up on its
barns and on platforms for months.
The demand in the east, where the
shortage, has brought the price up
high enough for the farmer to make
something on his crop.
Don H. Bark, engineer in charge of
the duty OF water Investigations in
this state, has just returned from that
country, looking into the general con-
ditions which prevail there. Last fall
found several hundred thousand
tons of hay at q standstill There
was no demand for it anywhere. The
freight rates were SO high that the
farmers could not afford to ship their
product to the eastern margets. There
would have been no profit at the 50
of the best alfalfa.
The lack of stock in the state was
responsible for the absence of local
demand that could take care of the
crop that had been raised Now the
eastern markets are short, and the
buyers are sending to the west for
their hay. They are paying $8 and 50
a ton for the alfalfa aboard the cars
at the shipping point, and are taking
1t to Chicago and other eastern cities
to meet their demand. Carload after
carload of hay has gone out of Twin
Falls the last few weeks Practically
all Of the hay left over from last year
7snow on its way to the markets Of
the east.
II still believe, however, that the
introduction of cattle and other live
stock is the only solution to some Of
the problems which the state now has.
All of this hay would have been sold
q long time ago had there been
enough livestock In the state to use
1t. We cannot depend upon the east
ern markets. They are too far away
for us. We must be able to sell our
hay In Idaho and other western states,
and to do that we must have live
stock. Statesman.

The AlIapiea Tree.


The pimento, or allspice, tree is cul-
dvated in the West Indies and Jamat-
ca. This beautiful tree usually grows
to a height of about thirty feet 1t
has a straight trunk. much branched
above and covered with a very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary in size
and shape, but are always Of a dark,
shining green color. During the months
of July and August the tree is in full
bloom, the blossoms consisting Of very
fragrant small white flowers. In IA
vorable seasons the pimento crop Is
enormous, a single tree often yielding
a hundred or more pounds Of the dried
spice The berries are picked while
green, because If left on the tree until
ripe they lose their pungent taste and
are valueless. The green berries are
exposed to the sun for a week or ten
days, when they lose their green color
and turn a reddish brown. When per-
fectly dry they are put in bags and
casks Tor expectation. The odor and
the taste Of the pimento berries are
thought to resemble combination OF
those of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves;
hence the familiar name "allspice."

A Queer Fact About Vision.

In the eye itself certain things may
go on which give US wrong sensations
which, although not truly illusions, are
very much like them. Thus when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something in the dark we see
STARS" or bright sparks, which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as il
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or
letter In the middle Of this page, for
example, we seem to see not only the
thing we are looking at, but every
thing else Immediately about 1t and
for long way on each side But the
truth is there is a large round spot
somewhere near the point ut which we
are looking in which we see nothing
CuriousIy enough, the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by acci-
dent, and nobody ever suspected 1t
until Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction of the eyeball that 1t must
exist and proceeded to find It.

An AWed Gunner.

A Maine hunter who is a crack shot
tells a curious story about himself
While hunting one day he came upon
fine large deer not more than two rods
away. He attempted to raise his rife
to his shoulder, but his arm became
suddenly paralyzed. All he could do
was to stand there and watch the deer
disappear in the distance. Then his
arm resumed Its normal condition,
and he started on the trail once more.
After awhile he came upon the deer
a second time, and again the hunter
tried to raise his rife, and again his
arm refused to serve him. Then he
gave 1t up and went home. impressed
with a sense of awe and a conviction
that he had better leave that particular
deer alone.

A KINGS Rebuke.


The queen Of Wurttemberg was one
day walking in the streets Of Stuttgart
attended by maid Of honor, when she
met a body Of students who refused
to make room for the ladies, and thus
compelled them to walk in the gutter.
The queen reported the matter to the
king, and the next day the captain Of
the corps Suevia was summoned to
the palace. A servant led him into a
room where there were no chairs, and
there the unfortunate student had to
wait a full hour. At last the king ap-
peared, and finally the young man was
dismissed by him thus: Il cannot de.
mand that every student should know
my wife, but 1 do demand that the
corps Suevia give place in the streets
to ladies'"

According to letter from the Kongo
region on the west coast of Africa, the
monkeys there are Unfortunately fond Of
a kind Of beer made by the natives,
who use the beverage to capture their
poor relations. Having placed quaint
ties of the beer where the monkeys can
get at it. the natives wait until their
victims are in various degrees of inebri.
alton, and when they then mingle with
them the poor creatures are too much
fuddled to recognize the difference be-
tween negro and ape. When a negro
takes the hand of one of them to lead
him off, some other fond creature clings
to the hand of the latter one and an
other one to his hand. Thus a single
negro may sometimes be seen carrying
off a string of staggering monkeys.
When secured the beer is administered
in decreasing quantities, so that they
may only gradually awaken to the sad
results of their spree.-London Tit-Bits.
