tBy W. MILTON KELLY,

(By W. MILTON KELLY
The corn crop occupies the fore
most place in American farming. A
good crop Of corn means q fitting I'm.
ish Of a prosperous season. We raise
corn In abundance. But we fall far
short in preserving the crop In q
manner to secure its full feeding
value. We save more feed from 1t
than from any other crop. and We
waste more. At least 40 per cent. Of
ahe nutritive materials are wasted In
the stalk field. or nearly as much as
are contained in the whole wheat
crop. The shock and the silo should
be used to preserve this feed. On
many farms the feeding operations
have not reached a stage when all
the feeding value of the crop can be
utilized, but In this season Of high
prices for hay. every effort should
be made to derive the full feeding
value from the fodder and ensilage.
In the eastern states Farmers have
the settled policy Of saving all the
coarse feed from the corn CROP As
the corn belt states reach an agri.
cultural maturity they will come to
1t. Many Of the best feeders are
building silos and buying huskers and
shredders for doing 80. The only
extra cost is the cutting and storing
Of the extra feed.
The silo affords a means Of pre-
serving certain portion OF the crop
that does not reach full maturity. and
the work Of filling can be done. even
where labor is scarce. without inter-
fering with the work Of securing the
grain crop. Corn is ready for the
silo before II can be shocked to ad.
vantage. Between this period and
the time the corn is At to crib there
Is two or three weeks that may prof.
itably be devoted to putting the crop
into shocks. On every farm where
stock Is kept the silo and corn shock
should be given large portion OF the
crop before frost comes. and the
crib should get none until q few sharp
frosts have withdrawn the sap from
the ears. No other grain crop can
have Its harvest season extended ad.
vantageously over 80 many weeks.
This should encourage every farmer
to save all Of his crop. Every acre
put into the silo and shock will keep
In good condition until the remainder
Of the crop has been cribbed. A few
years Of short hay crops may be q
valuable lesson In the end. for It will
help to stimulate greater efforts than
have ever been made to preserve

COOPERATE IN HOG SELLING
Practical Plan for Farmers Given by

ess-seIling by farmers was laid be-
fore the conference for education In
the south by W. j.. shuford Of Hlek.
ory, N. c.:
Any number Of farmers from six up
can start an egg.selling association.
They should have enough hens to fur.
nish at least two cases Of eggs per
week at the season Of the year when
egg production is the lightest.
The amount OF capital necessary
to start might be as low as $50 or
500, depending upon the number Of
members. There should be an initia-
ton fee Of IS to get the necessary
capital. Organize by getting the
farmers and their wives together to
talk the matter over. There should
be four or five meetings. and the sub.
ject thoroughly discussed, before get
ting down to business. The farmers
should secure some central location
In the neighborhood that would be
accessible to all who might wish to
Join the association. The school house
during the school term could be q
place for the gathering OF the eggs.
The children could bring In the eggs
when they come to school. Sales.
etc.. could be looked after by the
teacher.
Constitution and bylaws should be
very simple. There should be an
agreement In writing specifying fresh.
clean eggs, gathered daily, and de-
livered at least twice a week to the
association for a given period; and
rules should be made that II a patron
brought in bad eggs over three times
he would be dropped from the asso-
citation.
A stamp should be given each
member with a number on 1t as q
means Of Identification, together with
an agreement to attend meeting
when called by the president.
Officers should consist OF president,
secretary. manager and treasurer.
with governing board Of from four
to six directors. Possibly 1t would be
best to combine the Offices Of secre-
tary, treasurer and manager.
Some nearby market should be Sc
lected and good grocer found who
desires good quality OF eggs. Hotel
and college trade should also be cul-
tivated.
Shipments should be made two or
three times week in warm weather,
and twice a week at other times Of
the year.
A record should be kept OF all
eggs received. II any profits accure
they should divided among the
patrons at the end OF the year, in pro
portion to the amount OF business fur.

Cash should be paid for all eggs as
bought, price based on daily market
reports.
Start the association In a small way,
give 1t name, and sell your eggs
under this name. All goods should
be carefully packed In cartons.

A. Fellows Fined 500 and Costs for
Resisting Marshall Morley Monday

A. Fellows, dishwasher in the
employ OF one OF the local restaur.
ants, was the cause of quite little
excitement on Main street Monday
afternoon when he started in to dis.
play his 6stic prowess with Earl
Martin in the Office of the Bonner
hotel. Fellows was crazy drunk
and it required the assistance OF
the two husky men for Marshal
Worley to lock him up without
having to resort to brutality.
Fellows met Martin at the door
of the Bonner hotel Office and with
no apparent reason, gave the latter
right handed smash upon his
nasal extremity Martin is little
fellow but he was a worthy oppon-
ent of Fellows and when Marshal
Worley arrived on the scene Mar
tin was giving his assailant a sound
beating for the unprovoked assault.
The dishwasher had no idea of
going to Jail peacibly with the
marshal. Jerry Dore was attracted
by the commotion and took hand
in assisting the officer as did also
C. w. Mcguire. Jerry received
a nice punch on the nose for his
trouble and Mcguire was given a
nasty kick. Constable McGreevy
escaped without injury.
Fellows plead guilty Tuesday
morning before Justice of Peace
Kent on the charge of resisting an
officer. He was fined 500 and
costs and was taken to Standpoint
to serve the fine out in Jail.

CASE DISMISSED
WITHOUT TRIAL
AIonzo Osborne Released ON Hunting
Without License Charge-Did
Not Steal Deer
WAS NO EVIDENCE TO CONVICT
Trouble Due to Arbitrary Action Of
Game Warden

Alonzo Osborne, the young man
who was arrested a week ago Mon
day on the charge of hunting with
out a license and who was also
taken to Standpoint without being
given a hearing before the nearest
Justice of the Peace and there
served with a second warrant
charging him with having stolen
deer alleged to have been shot by
a man giving his name as Ed V.
Parker, was released Saturday
without trial by county authorities
on account of lack of evidence.
Residents Of Copeland and
Elmer Osborne, father of the
young man, Alonzo, are naturally
highly incensed over the high
handed course taken by the deputy
game warden who made the arrest.
The elder Osborne was in town
Saturday on his way home from
Standpoint where he had gone to
investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the arrest of his son.
Mr.. Osborne tells that Montroy,
the deputy game warden who
arrested Alonzo, has been dis
missed.
The elder Osborne states that
Montroy arrested Alonzo in the
woods about four miles from Cope
land, his home, and about II miles
from Addie. The boy told the
deputy game warden that he had
a license at home but Montroy, it
is claimed, refused to go to Cope
land to investigate the matter and
hustled the young man to Addie
and from there forced him to GO
to Standpoint. AT Standpoint il
was found that young Osborne had
purchased a license early in tho
season. Then the charge of steal
ing the deer was brought up
This charge, claims Mr.. Osborne

BEARTAMER BUT NOT INSANE
Complaints Of Nslghbors Did Not Goa
vince Doctors Ia Insanity Case

Frank Stools, a resident of the
Moyie springs country where he
has homestead, who was taken to
Standpoint last week upon the COM
plant of Charles Smith, charging
him with insanity, was allowed his
liberty last Friday after an exam
ination made by Standpoint doctors.
The principal incidents upon
which Smith hung his charges of
queerness against Stools was
that the man had shot at horse at
one time and had a pet bear five
years old which Stools seemed able
to handle but no one else. Drs.
Patterson and Stackhouse did the
examining at the Jail this morning
and made inquiry of Stools as to
the horse shooting and the bear.
Stools, who talked exceedingly
nationally for a crazy man, said
that he had shot at one of his
ponies while chasing thee of them
to turn them back home and that
one of the shots had gone wide and
hit the pony across the flank. As
to the bear he was able to handle
the bear all right and had taken it
to Bonners Ferry to the fair but
could find no place prepared for
its reception and SO did not exhibit
it. His description of how he had
gotten up at o'clock in the morn
ing at Smiths place to lead the
bear to Boomers Ferry and of his
adventures on the way was comical,
but quite rational. Pend d Oreille
