4 FEW FARM SUGGESTIONS.

SOW it when the ground gets dry,
even ii it is in April. Get your need
cd supply OF pigs for your meat. Lay
your plans for a large potato crop,

white cgg is Il good kind); set cab

The milk and butter supply is what
you are going to need. 1t is a living
within itself If properly cared for.

running through the house. The
open front should face the south and
a sliding window cut all the way
across the east end in order that sun
light may penetrate the house from
early morning until late at night.
This Will go long way towards
Keeping house free from vermin, and
Will insure your chickens a dry
roosting place. There are usually
enough old boards and pieces of
plank lying around on every farm
to build such a house. Ii Is not nee
essary that they all be of the same
width or length, as looks Is not what
we are after; but after the house Is
finished, If good coat Of whtewash
be given it, it will improve the looks
wonderfully, and that does count for
something, If it can be had without
much expense. We have just finish
ed giving ours coat OF whitewash,
ana they look like new houses, neat
ana attractive, and two gallons Of
whitcwash is ample to put a good
white coat on a building of the size
mentioned above,
Another advantage the building
described has is it is light and COM
parativcly easy to move, If necessary.
We moved all of ours distance OF
nearly mile on two horse wagon
this spring and handled them with
out any trouble
After building and locating, earth
should be thrown in until floor is
level with top OF foundation sills in
order to keep out marauding var
mints, and also to help keep the in
terror dry. The chickens will soon
trample the top hard and very little
If any water will be taken up. A
building 6 by feet should accom-
modate from fifteen to twenty hens
and cock. If confined closely 10
or II would be enough. 1t is not
best to crowd them. Use one by
three strips, or something similar,
for roosts, and If more than one Is
placed in the house. put them on a
level and not one above the other,
which is liable to cause fowls to in
jure the bottoms Of their feet jump
ing from a highe rto lower roost.
Use good, roomy boxes for nests,
and be sure and have covers for
them which can be lowered at night,
as 1T seems to be the nature Of hen
to want to roost on the nest rather
than on rOosts. If this is allowed
the nests soon become filthy, and the
hens will not use them but steal a
nest off somewhere. 1t has been our
experience that if nice, clean nests
are kept in the houses hens prefer
to lay in them rather than in stables
or other inaccessible places.
IF you do not try to overcrowd
your fowls, a building such as we
have described is a good one in which
to keep the hens confined on cold
rainy days. We do this, and seldom
have our hens fall off in egg produc-
ton. We believe they do better
housed in colda rainy weather than If
allowed to run out

CURRENCY SHORTAGE
FELT AT WASHINGTON

Washington, ID. c.. July 30.-The
United States treasurer is in the odd
predicament today of having lots of
money but being unable to pay for its
transportation to the sub-treasurers,
where the money Is needed. AS a
consequence there's a shortage among
the treasury branches of one, two and
five dollar bills. Moreover there will
be no relief until congress straightens
out the tangle in its big appropriation
bills. Congress failed to pass the
sundry civil bill before the new fiscal
year, beginning July l, and to keep
the wheels of government in motion,
it enacted a resolution extending to
the amount of one-twelfth of the old
appropriation bills. 1t happens that
the demand for the movement of
money is always unusually large dur
ing the first part of the fiscal year,
SO the July appropriation does not
meet the departments needs.

ed retiring pastor of the Presbyterian
church, was paid a strong compli-
ment by his congrega tion last evening
when the question of accepting the
resignation of the pastor the members
voted two to one in the negative

ignation when invited to do so.

There were As in attendance and en-
titled to vote, according to DR.. w. X.

cepting the same placed before the

ton was voted down by a two to one
vote, according to the count of DR..

gregation to accept the resignation of
the pastor, Rev. Mines was sent for

gregation, when he was apprised Of
what had taken place. Addressing
the members of the flock the retiring
minister declared that in preparing
to quit the local pulpit he had burned
all bridges behind him and could not
