General Sheridan was once asked
at what littla incident he had laughed
the most. .
Well" he said. II do not know. but
IL always laugh when / think of the
Irishman and tho army mule. I. was
riding down the line one day, when l
raw an Irishman mounted on q mule,
which was kicking its legs rather free
ly. The mule finally caught its hoof
in the stirrup, when in his excitement
the Irishman exclaimed, "Weell, II
you're going to get on I'll get Off"
Assistant District Attorney Clark
was conducting q case In the criminal
court the other day. A large. rough
shouldered negro was in the witness
chair. IAN then" said the witness,
I'VE all vent down in the alley an
shot a few craps"
"Ah." said Mr.. Clark. swinging his
eyeglass impressively. "Now, sir. I
want you to address the Jury and tell
them just how you deal craps"
"Wass that" asked the witness,
Trolling his eyes.

How many amateur gardeners pay
any attention to the kind of seed
which they plant. The average man
who wants radishes buys radish seed,
and cts it go at that. not knowing
whether he has an early or a late va
riety, and paying no attention to form
or color. He does the same thing with
peas. and corn, and everything else.
If he would pay attention to varieties
he would get much more satisfactory
results, for with most of the vegeta-
bles there are early, and second early,
and late varieties, and a judicious ar
rangement of the three will give one
a succession Of garden stuff which will
lengthen the garden season materially.
and add to h joys OF gardening.

POULTRY {
rHE FLOOR OF A COOP.
By Cockspur:

Three kinds of floors are in general
use among poultrymen-dirt, concrete
and wood. Each kind has its advo-
Gates. Perhaps the advocate of each
measures his admiration by the cost
OF production and the result obtained.
The dirt floor is the cheapest, with
the board next and the concrete cost
ing most. Whatever material is used
in making dirt floors. the builder of a
coop must give his thought to a posi-
BILE invasion of rats. These are at
tracted to the coop by the feed, and
sometimes they will even attack
chickens. Chicks are easy for them.
So that some method must be devised
to keep them from digging under the
wallis of a coop and getting inside. One
Of the common methods Of keeping
them from getting under the dirt floor
and also the board floor is a layer Of
good small mesh wire.
1t must be placed deep when a dirt
flooring is used, because Of the pos
sibility of digging it up or breaking 1t
when a thorough cleaning is done.
Two objections that have been made
to dirt floors is the amount of labor
necessary in cleaning and the posi-
bility of dampness.
In making a dirt floor damp clay
we'll pounded is serviceable. The clay
should be put on the wire, dampened,
and thoroughly pounded. The floor
ing of the coop should be made at
least three or -four inches higher than
the ground outside the coop. A mix
ture Of one part sifted ashes and two
parts damp clay also has been used
with good effect. The flooring must
be swept occasionally and sprinkled
each time with fresh. dry dirt. II such
floors as these can be kept dry they
will last a long time. and they are no
son., they are easy on the feet of
chickens.
Board floors. on the other hand. are
not SO easy on the feet Of a flock, and

is yet no visible evidence of damage
to the foliage or blossoms of our trees

evidence for some time. Many people,

If We have the warm weather which
we may reasonably expect, we will

h City one glorious mass Of lilac
bloom. and the air filled with the fra

There is pending in the Arizona leg
islature a land bill which prohibits
III ownership Of land by any person
who is not a citizen or who has not
declared his intention to become once.
The bill Is described az more drastic
than the California bill, and it may
be so in its effects. But Of the two
1t seems that it ought to give the less
csuse for the Japanese to protest. for
It includes all aliens, regardless Of
their eligibility for citizenship.

MORE PEOPLE NEEDED.

MIR. Hill did not undertake to make
a speech at the Commercial clul
rooms last night. hut in his little chat
at the close of the Informal gather
Ing he uttered some words of wisdom
which canno be too strongly en-
phasized. The thought upon which he
insisted was that the chief need 81
this state is more people ~prosperlne
on the farms. And that is our great
need. Build up tho other industries
of the country as We may, the chief
reliance of this vast territory is its
farms and the people who cultivate
them and make their homes on them.
Without the requisite farm popula-
ton any increase in our urban popu-
lation rests On a temporary and insc-
cure foundation. More people on the
farms will mean the development OF
cross roads villages into thriving
towns, the growth of the smaller
towns into cities, of the present
cities into places many times their
present size, and with many times
their present industrial activity.
The labor problem is the most So
rious problem with which our people
have to contend. Not enough people
live in the state to perform all the
work Of the state. Under the present
arrangement there is not employment
sufficient to make the necessary mum
Der Of people permanent residents.
We must depend on a floating labor
supply, and We know to IL cost the
Inconvenience and uncertainty of that.
Men come into the state oward fall
for two or three months work. They
are strangers, and have no interests
here other than to make what wages
they can get out. The conditions
are such hat a heterogeneous lot of
men are attracted here for a time.
and the farmer must take his chances
on what he gets. Wages under such
conditions, when work is pressing,
are necessarily high. too high to do
justice to the farmer. and Yet the la
borer needs all thai he can make, for
he travels far. and his time is broken.
\ greater farm population would
mean important changes in the farm
ing industry. The work would be
more intensively done, more stock of
all kinds would be raised. and the
work of the farm would be spread
over the entire year, instead of being
punched into a few weeks. 1t is an
axiom among those who have to deal
with power plants that the more even
ly the load can be distributed over
the time Of operation. the more eco
nomically can the work be done. If
there is demand for an enormous out
put at one period, and the others are
periods of comparative idleness, there
Is great waste. If our load We're re-
adjusted the work could be more eco
nomically performed, and the condi-
tions of living would be vastly inn
proved.
And yet. as Mr.. Hill pointed out,
90 great i s the productivity of the
state that there is no other state in
the union a larger proportion of whose
farmers are able. after living here a
few years, to make pleasure trips to
the south in the winter. If that is
r today, what will he the prosperity
of the state when the conditions for
performing its work have had their
efficiency doubled?

Rolls Go to Collector.

The 1913 tax rolls of Canyon county
were completed and turned over to
Tax Collector Monk by Auditor Stow
al. Saturday. The auditor has had a
force of FIVE extra clerks at work on
the rolls since early in August making
the changes necessitated by work Of
the state board of equalization. Ow-
ing to the dispatch with which the
work has been handled, the Canyon
county rolls are in the hands of the
tax collector over 10 days ahead OF
the date set by the statutes.
AS soon as the tax sales are added
to the records the tax collector will
send out the tax notices for the jan
uaTy payment.
The Canyon rolls this year include
lO,8OO individual accounts, a reduc-
ton from an aggregate of 10000 ac-
counts on last years rolls, due to the
efforts of the auditor to simplify the
accounts and minimize the. work in
both his Office and the office of the
tax collector. This is exclusive of
about 1900 personal property ac-
counts which will be turned over to
the auditors Office before the fourth
Monday in November, and equalized
by the board of county commissioners
at the December meetinr.
