They will get exercise by scratching
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 becom-
ing crop bound by swallowing the
short bits of straw. The straw may
not pass out of the crop and after a
time will close up the passage. This
can be avoided by removing the old
straw and providing brush.
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 suitable for the breed that is
being handled, will insure winter
eggs.

nor, the new state houses of Idaho
will be finished and the chambers
will be ready for. the meeting of the
next session of the legislature.
The architects who have in charge
the plans for the capital have already
prepared the specifications for the
wings of the completed building.
They are only waiting for the pass
age of the bill that will give $780,
900 for the completion of the states
home before the ground is broken
and the men and machinery are put
to work to rush the building through
to its final completion.
Six weeks of time will be enough
to advertise for bids for the senate
and house wings of the structure and
to close the contract for the remain
der of the capital. Within that time,
the contractors of the northwest will
learn that Idaho plans to finish its
building, just what the cost will be
and what the plans are for the wings.
AS soon as the contract is closed,
men will be put to work to eXcavate
for the foundation walls and a large
force will be hurried to Boise to
finish both wings before the next
session is convened. By the time
the Thirteenth legislature hears the
fall of the gavel in either house, the
furniture will all be installed in the
wings and the lieutenant governor
and speaker will preside over their
respective bodies In the newly COM
|p!eted chambers of the capital.
Tourtellotte & Hummell have been
working on the plans for several
months. They have now the speci-
fications ready for the contractors
and will be ready to send them out as
soon as they learn that the legisla'
ture has passed the appropriation bill
and authorized them to go ahead
with the work. It will then be a mat.
ter of but few months before the
steel frames have risen high in the
air and the walls begin to assume
definite shape and size. From thai
time on, the men will be pushed tt
get the structure finished as rapid!
as possible and will have all in read

WINTER COVERING FOR LAWN.

Perhaps no one factor adds so
much to the attractiveness of a city
or country dwelling than a we'll
kept lawn.
1t is, however. with those who
undertake to keep one in a condition
of thrift throughout the summer, a
matter of common experience that no
small amount of time and care is
required. If maintained at it's best,
lawn will sooner Or later demand
more than regular watering and
moving
There are those who object to the
use of barnyard manure on lawns be-
cause of the resulting more or less
unsightly appearance and the COM
monty believed danger of introduc-
ing host of weed pests To such
persons we have recommended the
use in early spring of mixture of
fertilizers, which will carry to the
grass roots reasonable amounts of
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium;
this mixture to be followed later by
one containing a greater amount of
nitrogen and smaller amounts of the
last named fertilizing elements. Fer
tilizers containing the above-named
chemical elements are comparatively
inexpensive ana can be purchased of
almost any wholesale dealer in gar
den seeds and supplies. But for the
lawn whose owners peace of mind is
not particularly disturbed by "lit-
tered yard at least during the win
ter season, we recommend the appli-
cation of liberal coating of BARN
yard or stable manure. The earlier
in the winter 1t can be spread the
better. The teaching of the winters
snow and rain will carry into the
soil for the benefit of the grass roots
the same chemical elements as would
be purchased in the mixture of COM
mercial fertilizers mentioned above
the beneficial effects, however, are
far more lasting; for along with the
teaching of mineral elements there
are carried, both mechanically and
in solution, large amounts of various
organic compo nds whose presence
in the soil not only tends to retain
heat and moisture, but whose decay
during the succeeding spring and
summer months releases the nitrogen
gradually. AS consequence a
thrifty, green growth of grass is
more evenly maintained throughout
the summer. 1t goes without saying
that the coarse straw and litter
should be raked from The surface be-
fore spring has far advanced. The
danger of a serious increase in weed
pests from this treatment Of the
lawn has probably been over estima
ted. The increased vigor and thrift
of the grass will itself largely over
come whatever danger really exists
Beyond question, the spring and
summer appearance of the average
lawn would be greatly enhanced II
liberal dressing of manure were Civ
en- it in winter.

CARING FOR ANIMALS IN THE
WINTER.

The Western states have had a re-
putation for range bred live stock.
In the early years of the range in
dustry little attention was paid to
securing good blood to improve and
grade up the herds and the whole in
dustry rested on free grass, inexpen-
sive foundation stock and resulting
cheap production. Pure bred bulls
and bucks were in most cases deem
ed an expensive and useless luxury
and the animal havoc of winter caus-
ing heavy loss of flesh and high
death percentage was considered I'M
fortunate but necessary.
The range is now restricted and
better bred animals have been found
quicker growing, deeper aeshed and
more profitable All winter rustling
is still the rule in few sections,
but it is fast disappearing as COM
mon practice. 1t is now apprecia-
ted that baby fat once lost from a
calf by severe winter exposure is
never regained, and the result is
lower grade of butchers stock at
slaughter time. Furthermore. it pays
to feed sufficient in winter to hold
the flesh gained the previous summer
and save in animal thrift and vital
ity. We need more we'll bred cattle,
horses, and sheep on the ranges
that remain in the west, but no more
unless we can give the feed and rea-
sonable care that improved animals
demand in order to give most pro-
titable returns.
Coincident with the upbuilding Of
! the range herds and flocks has
come more pure blood and better in
dividuals on the farm. Here too the
mistake is frequently made of ex-
pecting good animals to make big
returns from meagre feed and little
! or no care Our improved types of
domestic animals have been bred for
generations TO give heavy returns
when fed amply on nutritious rations.
The farmer who does not expect to
treat good live stock accordingly had
better confine his attention to the
scrubs.
To illustrate, splendid specimens
of pure bred cattle have been turned
to rustic on scanty range and in three
generations their progeny were not
as thrifty as inferior grades. Pure
bred and highly organized dairy cat
tie unless substantially fed will not
return interest on the investment.
Fall pigs from we'll bred sows if for
ced to rustic or winter on alfalfa will
in the spring weigh hardly half OF
what they should.
Ample feed, protection from
storms and moderately warm and
thoroughly dry sleeping quarters are
necessary to success with pure bred
high producing stock. Liberal use OF
feed and bestowal of ARE will pay
good interest on the investment OF
money and time.

THE DEMOCRATIC HOLDUP.

If President elect Wilson is going
to lead the Democratic leaders of the
senate during the next four years,
the best time for him to begin would
be right now. At this moment the
Democrats in the senate are sorely
in need of progressive leadership to
save them from hopelessly reaction
airy record on the patronage ques-
ton.
More than 1000 appointments by
President Taft are now awaiting con-
firmation, which the Democrats of
the senate apparently have no inten-
ton of permitting. Be it clearly
understood that in making every one
of these appointments President
Taft has been only discharging his
duty under the law. 1t is the func-
ton of the president to make ap-
pointments to all positions in the
military, naval, judicial, diplomatic
and the various other branches of
the federal service. 1t is the duty
to renew all commissions expiring
during his term of office. He is neg
glecting his duty if he does not see
that all the Offices are filled with &C.
cupants regularly appointed. The
hundreds of appointments to which
the Democrats of the senate are now
refusing ratification are to positions
for which the terms of the incum-
bents have expired. In no single in
stance has the president tried to
make appointments that might be
more properly made by the Demo-
cratic president. He had contem-
plated appointments for the. civil
government in the canal zone. The
plan was abandoned as soon as the
Democrats raised the point that such
appointments would be premature
and that they more properly belong
ed to the incoming administration.
The most glazing example of the mis-
chief of the Democratic hold-up is
found in the case of Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Clark, whose
term expired with the old year. His
re-app1intment has not been con-
firmed, and there will be a vacancy
in the commission. involving serious
loss of efficiency in that branch OF
the public service, until the matter
is acted upon. Army and navy pro-
motions and appointments to all de-
partments of the public service are
all halted in the general jam.
The blockade amounts to denial
of the right of President Taft to
comply with the law. The only OBJ
ject can be to hold over the appoint.

can name Democrats for many places
to which President Taft has appoint.

is of efficiency. 1t amounts to a
political graz game such as has
never been played in the history OF
our politics. If the Democrats in
the senate are successful in their
campaign for spoils to which they are
not fairly entitled, they will put a
blot on the new administration that
will last throughout its life. Further
more, if the Republicans care to fol-
low the example after appointive
