The Ugliest Capital.
From the London Chronicle.

Darmstadt. where the Prince of Wales
has been paying a weekend visit to the
Grand Duke of Hesse, Is considered by
most people the ugliest capital city in
Europe, next to Mannheim II was re-
built during the eighteenth century and
planned in square blocks. with the
straight lines and stiffness OF a chess
board. One street is just like another;
one house generally the exact counter
part of every other. At the head of the
main street is the unsightly palace; at
the two ends of the cross street are two
hideous churches. one for the Calvinists.
the Other for Roman Catholics. OF recent
years some esthetic improvements have
been made by a colony of sYiennese art
lists and architects who re settled In
the AleXanderweg quarter.

Paris Green for Br 'er Rabbit
SIOdrns of Rabbits DeUastdte Orchards County Com
nissiOners Buy Paris Green In Quantities for
Free Distribution to Kill Them off,

When the county commissioners were
in session in Shoshone a few days ago,
they received so many complaints about
the ravages being made by rabbits that
they took the matter up officially and
devised plan that is working like a
charm. They sent to one of the Salt
Lake wholesale druggists an order to
ship to each of the retail druggists in
Lincoln county II pounds of Paris
Green to be used in poisoning the
pests. This was done, and now every
druggist has supply of the poison, to
give out in quarter-pound packs to all
who want it for use. The poison is usu-
ally sprinkled on little punches of
fresh, green alfalfa for bait The rab-
its eat it, and die and that's all there
is of it for whatever rabbit that tries
the new food.
H. M. Fender, living east of Rich
field, on the Little Wood, recently lost
all of his four-year-old orchard that he
had nursed so tenderly for all these
years. The rabbits came in without
warning, droves of them, and peeled off
every vestige of bark from the snow
line, foot or more above the ground,
clear up into the tops of the trees.

Others report the same kind of dam
ages, though up to date no one else has
suffered so heavily. Rabbit proof fences
while of considerable value, have not
in any case proved to be complete pro-
lection, as some of the rabbits manage
to get through or over the best of
them, and the trees suffer from their
ravages. There are many thousands of
rabbits this winter, more than for six
years past, and the poisoning system
seems to be the only way to fight the
trouble with success.
Big rabbit drives are being held in
the south part of the county Two
drives were held near Jerome last
week, and about two thousand rabbits
were killed in each one. But in no
place are the rabbits as plentiful as
they were seven years ago. That year
one drive was held in southern Idaho
where 10000 rabbits were killed, and
many others were held where from
8, 900 to 10000 were killed. Even that
terrible slaughter did not seem to de-
crease their numbers materially; it was
not until tho rabbit plague came in to
kill them off by the tens of thousands,
that they really ceased to be menace

Tu0 Good Men Redppointed
John Mcpherson as Horticultural Inspector and James
H. Wallis Sanitary Inspector Viii Add to
STRENGTH of Present Administration.

]. U. Mcpherson was this week re-
appointed state horticultural Inspector,
to serve for the coming two years. Mr..
Mcpherson has filled the office admira-
bly, the past two years, and has done
monumental work for the fruit in
dustry of the state. Rigid inspection
of nursery stock, as well as of orchards
already planted, and of the fruit as it
is offered for sale, has been the me-
chanical means of freeing the state
from many of the perils that lie in the
path Of the fruit grower. Instruction
as to varieties, cultivation, care and
marketing of the crop has also lifted
the industry to higher plane so that
Idaho promises to make good all her
earlier predictions of the greatest fruit
state in the west.

health inspector, has been returned to
office for the ensuing two years. He

clear the land and for cultivating the
orchards, with conspicuous success.
They have 70-horse gasoline engines OF
the high-wheel type, and 60-horse size
of the caterpillar or endless-belt-tread
type. These latter have been most
successful for cultivating the orchards
The orchardists say that these engines
have made possible high grade OF
cultivation that could not be reached by
horse cultivation; cheaper, and better,
and far more available because of the
possibility of doing SO much work In SO
little time just when the work is most
needed. That the companies are look
ing to this country as possible market

what the outside world is thinking of
this part of Idaho and its ability to pay
for such machinery and use it at
profit.

NO MORE WAGON MAIL.
Central idaho Will Supply Mail
on Old Star Routes.

The Richfield postoffice has just re-
ceived orders to discontinue the star
route mail service between here and
Burmah, and to send all the mail here
after over the Central Idaho railroad
instead of by team.
All the mail for the Central Idaho is
to be sent by express, there being no
mail clerk on the train. The mail for
each station is made up into a separate
express package, and consigned as
other express matter is consigned. Or
ders have been received, according to
the Soldier Courier, to discontinue the
team service from Corral to County
Line, the farthest station to receive
mail in that part of the Prairie; the
mail will hereafter go from Hill City in
stead Of from Corral, which had been
the terminus of the Haley mail route
to the prairie.

that makes for better sanitation has
been created and enforced that is now
on the state statute books. The Office
was a mere sinecure four years ago,
with no one pretending to believe it
was worth anything but the salary it
paid. Since that time, there is no state
in the Union that has made greater
strides in the way of giving the people
better and cleaner food, better sani-
tation. honest weights and measures,
and higher regard for the decencies
of life. Mr.. Wallis has served the state
so we'll that no new administration,
however hostile it might be politically,
could afford to turn him down. AS it
happens that the present administra-
ton is in the fullest accord with him
both politically and for the good work
he is doing, there is to be no change
save that he will have even heartier
support than ever before in strength
ening his department.

1t is an interesting commentary on
such diseases, that in Germany where
compulsory vaccination has been carried
on rigidly and invariably for number
of years, no case of small pox has been
reported in ten years. That the present
mild form of the disease is attributable
to several generations of vaccinated
ancestors, is certain; few people nova
days have the small pox in severe
form, whereas hundred or more years
ago more than one-half of the cases
were fatal or left some permanent de-
bility. A crusade against vaccination
on the ground of personal liberty is as
r ational as crusade against police or
courts or laws and leads generally to
epidemics and deaths. A good many
people here are being vaccinated, as
precaution against taking the disease,
and it may be expected that the cpl
demic will soon be over.

Poultry for Winter Revenues
Small Investment In Almost Any Old Birds, With
Good Feed and Constant Intelligent Care, Is
Sure to Bring In Big Profit.

Every season of the year brings its
problems for the poultrymen as wall as
the livestock men. If everything is
re ady and the poultryman has farm
knowledge of his business, he can meet
the conditions as they appear.
Everybody who has poultry is anx-
ious about winter eggs. 1t matters not
if the flock be large or small, the de-
sire for eggs is the same.
If poultry is to be profitable, the hens
must necessarily be producers during
the season of the year when the de-
mand is so heavy.
Many people have the idea that their
birds are not bred right for winter lay
ers (Which easily can be true), but no
flock will lay during the winter months
unless they get proper care. Proper
care does not necessarily mean plenty
of feed and good houses, all of which is
very important.
Good birds, suitably housed, with
plenty of feed properly fed, is the Sc
cret. The first thing necessary before
taking the birds into winter quarters is
thorough cleaning and disinfection of
the houses. Every nook and corner
should be carefully gone over to insure
the removal of the dirt that may col

lect during the hot, dusty summer
months. A good coat of whitewash
Containing a liberal amount of some
good coal tar preparation will aid san
itation wonderfully.
Sanitation is just as necessary to the
health of poultry as it is to any other
animal, man and beast alike. An un-
healthy flock can not be productive.
Birds in winter quarters must be
forced to exercise; if not, they be-
come sluggish and lazy. Feed the
greater ration upon the floor in about
foot of good, clean straw. They will
get exercise by searching for their
food. The straw should be changed
often. The birds wear it out, and when
it becomes cut up fine, there is danger
of the birds becoming crop bound by
swallowing the short bits of straw.
The straw may not pass out of the crop
and after time will close up the
passage. This can be avoided by re-
moving the old straw and providing
fresh straw
The birds must have plenty of green
food, animal food, grit, shell, charcoal,
and fresh water. A mixture of good
grain, properly fed, and mash suita-
BILE for the breed that is being haudled,
will insure winter eggs.

The Rumely company, makers of the
famous Oilpull engines, expect to put
in a demonstration outfit in this sec
ton next summer, with thresher, plow,
and whatever other farm attachments
may seem to be particularly adapted to
this part of Idaho The Oilpull engines
made a great hit in an international
contest up in Manitoba, where their
record was so far ahead of steam for
efficiency and adaptability that few
steam outfits will ever again be sold
there. The company has complete
line of engines, running down to a size
and capacity that should be available
for even the small farmer. The high
cost of horses, the cost and labor of
keeping them through the long months
of unproductive season, and the much
greater cost of labor even during the
operating season, make the gasoline
and kerosene engines peculiarly attrac-
tive for country like this.

NelU Officers To Be Named
Governor Names Full Corps for MinidOkd and GoOding
Counties, but Three HaUe Not Yet Resigned In
Lincoln County to Accept NeU Jobs.

The county commissioners met in
Shoshone, Monday, to be sworn in and
to get ready for regular business. A
legal specter confronted them when
they attempted to get down to work, in
the form of clause in the statutes
saying that in case of such reorgan-
ization of the board as they have just
undergone, they could not at once do
legal business, except to make out
list of what they want to do when they
should meet, and post this notice of
meeting for five days before actually
taking up the work. So they made out
an encyclopedia list, and tacking the
same upon the courthouse door they
departed for their various homes to
meet again on Monday the 10th.
An interesting situation lies before
them for adjustment, in the matter Of
filling some of the county offices by ap-
pointment. That isn't exactly the way
to state the proposition, either; for
there are no vacancies at the time
when this article is written. Fred
Clark, elected treasurer of old Lincoln
county, has been appointed by the gov
ernor as treasurer of Gooding county,
subject to his resignation from Lincoln
county, which he has not vet handed in.
1t had been expected that John See,
who lives at Rupert, would resign to be
appointed assessor of Minidoka county.
But it appears when the campaign was
on, no one happened to notice that
these vacancies in old Lincoln county,
which was already organized, are filled
by appointment by the county commits
sioners, and not by the governor as
would be the similar Offices in the new
counties. So whatever the plan and
there was a plan-to dictate to the
governor the new appointees in Lincoln
county in case Clark and See should
leave, was defeated by the law itself. |
1t appears that some promises were
given out or implied, for these prospec-
tive vacancies. But See and Clark |
are holding on to their elected offices
at present, and can do so to the end of

QUARANTINE.
No School or Public Meetings for
Three Weeks.

A general quarantine over all schools,
church services and public meetings of
every kind was reestablished Saturday,
by order of the county health officer.
The cases of small pox that had been
known here had about run their course,
and the prisoners were to be turned
loose this week. But Miss Edwin, of
the public schools, was taken down
with the disease, in its light form, and
as she had been in the schoolroom with
so many of the children, it was thought
necessary by the county health officer
to order all public activities to cease.
The quarantine will last three weeks at
least, and it might even be longer if
other cases develop.

The dried potatoes of both kinds are
used for food for sheep, swine, horses
and cattle. Although used for all kincs
of live stock, dried potatoes are used
more largely for hogs. They may be
used in place of corn entirely and are
said to be practically as good. BY dry
ing, danger from frost is entirely done
away with. In addition the weight is
reduced about three fourths, so that
the cost of transportation is reduced in
like proportion, and the surplus in one
section can be shipped to other sections
of the country. In Germany the cost
of drying potatoes ranges from 81. so to
