in the fall is practically unknown.
There are some hot days in summer,
when the temperature goes 100 degrees
or higher. but when this occurs the
air is very dry evaporation is at a
maximum, and heat prostrations do
not occur The hot part of the day is
short and with rare exceptions the
nights are delightfully."- cool. The av-
erage temperature at the coolest part
Of the night in August Is practically
the same as at points in northern Min
nesota.
The high daytime temperature,
coupled with the abundance of sun
shine produces a rapid growth of veg
citation. The almost entire absence OF
rain in the lower valleys In midsum-
mer enables the farmer to cure his hay
without loss Of time or deterioration
of the product and renders spraying of
orchards for insect pests most effec-
tive. The almost uninterrupted sun
shine gives to fruit, particularly the
apple, a color that adds materially to
its market value.
In the mountains the winters are cold
but pleasant. The snow is deep. but
The summers are cool From any of
the warmer parts of the state it Is but
q short journey to where a camp fire

In most of the northern parts of the
state and in elevated regions elsewhere
there is sufficient rainfall for the grow
ing of crops without irrigation. In the
lower sections the rainfall is below the
required amount. and irrigation must

Livestock interests.

The livestock interests In this coun-
try offer great inducements in the val
leys and in the foothills of Idaho, year
In and year out. through summer and
winter the vast herds, cattle, horses and
sheep are grazed upon what otherwise
would be largely waste lands. And
while there are men In Idaho who have
floeks of sheep ranging from 10000 to
$4,000, others large herds of horses and
cattle, yet these herds are becoming
reduced, and the small rancher with
lis little herd Of blooded stock Is con-
stantly becoming more In evidence.
Another advantage that Idaho has
over the states of the middle west is
its larger number of great general
resources, most of which have been
treated in this article, which includes
agriculture, horticulture, numbering
mining and stock raising, with all
their attendant possibilities. for in
stance, in mining, alone the half has
never been told. There has been only
little skimning over the too in the
mountains and what would otherwise
be the waste lands of this great state
lie hidden; gold, silver, copper and
lead. in untold quantities The posi-
bilities of Idaho,s great mines can only
be at present mere conjecture When
railroads have penetrated the mountain
fastness, and the necessary finances Sc
cured to uncover it's ores, and pur-
chase mills that will reduce them, then
the fitness and richness thereof shall
be made known.
