Oooding Has Nothing on Jerome.

last week we took an item from the
Gooding Leader relative to a couple Of
six months old pigs that were brought to
the packing house there that weighed
250 pounds each.
Mr.. j. X. Wragg living two miles north
OF jerome was in our Office Saturday and
in discussing this matter, presented some
figures that we believe outstrip the Good
ing claim. In the latter part of May he
had SOW that narrowed nine pigs. Last
week when the little ones were a few
days over months old, he sold the SOW
and 4 of her litter, the sale netting him
$92.O7. Prior to this he had sold two of
the smaller ones at $500 each and has
three of the litter left which he figures
are worth 5000 at least. From this
calculation it will at once be seen that
there Is good money in raising hogs.
The four months old pigs dressed 1856
pounds each, which would make their
live weight 23l pounds, and it is safe to
state they would have over-reached the
25O-pound mark at six months.

To Cook Idaho Spuds.
County Superintendent.

Mr.. VIM. Wagner is in receipt of
letter from Defoe Fenton, of Kansas City
in which the latter takes occasion to call
attention to the fact that some of the
housewives Of that city complain that
they cannot cook Idaho spuds success
fully. This is not surprising, and we
doubt If the average Idaho housewife
knows how to cook this native product
to the best advantage.
AS Fenton says, you cannot treat
high bred race horse the same as you
would an old work mule" and the same
rule applies to the Idaho spud as COM
pared to the eastern product They can
not be thrown into a kettle and boiled
for eternity, or you will have soup in
stead of potatoes. In fact the Idaho
spud in cooking requires about as much
attention as the housewife would exer-
else in baking a cake. This has lead
Mr.. Fenton to have printed cards of in
struction which he is having placed in
each sack of potatoes that go out, in
which he advises baking or steaming.
That the Idaho spud is the NEST pala-
table of any that grows is evidenced from
the fact that they are being exclusively
used on the L. p. dining car service
and in many OF the leading hotels OF the
larger cities OF the east. But the secret
is all in the cooking.

$4,000 Worth of Livestock Sells In
One Afternoon.

The A. r. Hutson stock sale last Tues
day afternoon is said by those who are
qualified to express an opinion, TO have
been the best stock sale that has ever
been held on the tract. The attendance
was unusually large, 127 rigs being
counted on the premises at ! O'Clock,
and there were many there who came by
train from the North Side and all along
the Minidoka branch The attendance
fully justified the large amount of adver-
Using done. Approximately 100000
worth OF stock was sold. None OF the
re sistered Shorthorns remained in the
Bull country. The bidding was lively
and they sold to buyers from the North
Side. Kimberly and Filler. Following
are the names of the buyers and prices
paid: Cow, Amelia, J. A. Clifford, Filler,
$3.50; yearling heifer, Bull Duchess, and
yearling heller, D. F. Detweiler of Kim
berly, $3.50 and $50; two two-year-old

Kills Mad Boar in Self Defense.

In self protection, P. A. Gillian was
compelled Friday to kill hundred dol
lar registered poland china boar.
Mr.. Gillian first attempted to save his
life by running, but the boar, monster
weighing close to a thousand pounds,
and one of the finest in the state, pur-
sued him and was about to ovettake
him. tie then turned and shot the boar
dead with a shot gun he happened to be
carrying.
The boar had before that day, been
very docile, and was loose in the orchard
near the house. Mr.. Gillian, who had
shot gun with him, started to the house
across the orchard.
When near the middle of the orchard
the boar took after him savagely. Mr..
Gillian started to run for the fence, but
the boar gained on him so rapidly that
he saw that he would not be able to es-
cape, and SO he turned and with the one
load left in the gun, he shot the animal
dead. The hog had cost Mr.. Gillian al
| even hundred dollars, and he would moi
have taken great deal more for him
That was not hog meat. 1t was deal
meat.-Gooding Leader.

ing had been disposed OF, which included
the allowing of the monthly bills and
some other minor details, a delegation OF
the rural patrons of the school were pres
ent to take up the question OF again pro-
viding school wagons. The matter was
discussed at some length, after which
the question was laid over until next

Some Idaho Potatoes.

Last month the Jerome Milling and
Elevator Co. were looking for an outlet
for potatoes and had an inquiry from. a
Nebraska point for car Of extra choice
stock which was shipped on approval.
The following is a copy of letter re-
ceived by them this week:
Dear Friend Wagner:
The potatoes came in Tuesday noon.
Say, it is the finest car Of spuds l ever
saw and everybody else said so too.
Since ordered that car there has been
at least Six cars in here making about
twelve cars in all and all the other towns
about here loaded down 80 didn't think
| could sell without unloading.
Extra good Red River Early Ohios
were selling for SOC and were not moving
at that 50 they dropped the price to 75c.
/ put my price at Soc and had hard
work to get most people to look at them
at all, but when / did l soon had the car
full Of people and before l knew / had
over sold and had to cut them down.
| think / could sell two more cars at that
price but it is too cheap for that class Of
stock. What is the best you can do on
two or three cars as good as this one,
well matured and free from scab as these
were. Answer soon on what you can dc
with regard to shipping. Will send draf
as soon as l have all weights"
The above car was specially selected
Rurals from the Settlers Reclaiming anc
Operating Co. and was an average car o
their shipment this fall.

Largest Yield of Potatoes.

The ten-acre crop of potatoes grown
here by Chas. L. Pittman gives the big
gest yield per acre so far reported any
where in Idaho. The Boise Statesman
the other day mentioned crop near
Blackfoot that went some 600 bushels to
the acre, but that is 81 bushels less than
Mr.. Pittman produced.
The gross return per acre on Mr.. Pitt.
mans crop was 66l bushels, or 397 sacks
to the acre. Figuring the crop at the
same price at which w. T. McClain''
spuds were sold (S0c), this would mear
S317. go for each acre. -Kimberly Call.

w. II. Lovesy, industrial agent OF the
American Express Co., with headquarters
at Salt Lake City, was in Jerome Tues
day in the interest of the company. The
Express Co. is now promoting move
ment that has for its object the bringing
of the producer and consumer into
closer touch. To this end the company
will attempt the shipping OF products OF
the farmer or manufacturer, handling the
same at a low rate, delivering the goods
at the home OF the consumer aud collect
ing the money, thus doing away with the
middleman. The scheme seems practi-
cal and we hope to see it worked sue
cessfully.

The domestic science department Of
the Richfield schools has adopted a novel
plan OF furnishing lunches at noon each
day for the scholars. A nominal fee OF
10 cents per week is charged and it is
said that the plan is proving very popu-
lar. Two dishes constitute the menu
and each child is expected to furnish
their own bread and such other deli
cacies as they may choose to bring.

There seems to be disposition on the
part OF our business men to adopt the cash
system. as one after another is adapting
this plan to his business. Not only Is
this true in this town, but the same con-
dition seems to exist throughout the en-
tire northwest. 1t is foregone conclu-
sion that merchants can sell on much
closer margin on cash basis, and under
this plan the cash customer is not taxed
to help pay the debts of the credit man.
This plan will also enable merchants to
meet the competition of mail order con-
Germs which exact the cash, and while
the plan may seem burdensome on some
at first, they will ultimately find 1t to
their benefit.

UNION MEETING HELD.
About One Hundred Persons AT.
tend the Meeting Saturday
Night at the ArmOry.

About one hundred persons, rep
resenting the different trades in
Cambridge, attended the meeting
held at the Armory Saturday night
for the purpose of organizing bran
ches of the various unions in Cam
bridge. Much interest was mani
tested in the meeting, and the indi-
cations are that number of local
unions will be organized.
Addresses were made by Presi-
dent John H. Ferguson, of the Bal
timore Federation of Labor and Jas.
H. Sullivan, State Organizer, who
made plain the advantages of or
ganization, but at the same time
counseled moderation, stating that
they were not advocating the stirr-
ing up of any strife or friction, nor
would they be willing to be parties
to such; in fact, they would not go
to any place for this purpose.
