Double Crossed by Commission.

That the municipalities of south
ern Idaho were given the double
cross in most outrageous manner
by the public utilities commission
will appear from the schedule Of
rates established by the commission
April %. The commission sent not
ice TO the several cities and towns
concerned, stating that the rates pre-
viously adopted would be permanent
ly established. Feeling satisfied with
the rates then in force the city coun-
ell of Twin Falls, in common with the
rest of the towns concerned, failed
to send a representative to the meet
ing. The result was that the COM
mission made a sweeping increase in
all but the maximum rate in the
schedule, as will appear from COM
parison of the two schedules.

temporarily stopped. All business
was suspended and over the CONNER

reverential hush.
In the line of mourners that fol-
lowed the artillery caissons bearing
the dead were the chiefs of state and
city governments, and many more
distinguished men of nearly every
calling, but every eye in the throngs
turned first to the carriage in which
President Wilson rode close behind

NEARLY CRAZY WITH RASH

Dryden, Ore.-"Traveling through
the woods one day was looking at

got home felt an itching and burn

was all swollen up. The poison oak
affected my face, hands, arms and

My face and neck were broken out

SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIN
Smart Youth Had II But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important-looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform of the rail
road station of small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car he cried out:
All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered EXPLANATIONS which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed a bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself very COM
fortably in an empty seat.
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
Il suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't go
ing, arn't you?"
YES" replied the bright youth,
with grin.
"Well,' responded the station agent,

man heard you calling out about 1t,

material down firmly and shape a cir
cular nest out of it which should be
slightly deeper in the center than at
the edges, as a nest so shaped will
prevent the eggs from rolling out from
under the hen and becoming chilled.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder. In applying the powder, hold
the hen by the feet, head down, work
ing the powder we'll into the feathers,
giving special attention to regions
around theevent and under the wings.
The powder should also be sprinkled
in the nest. The nest should be in
some quiet, out-of-the-way place on
the farm, where khe sitting hen will
not be disturbed. Move her from the
regular laying nest at night. Handle
her carefully in doing so. Put china
egg or two in the nest where she is
to sit, and place a board over the
opening so that she can not get of.
Toward evening of the second day, quiz
city go in where she is sitting, and
leave some feed and water. and re-
move the board from the front or top
of the nest, and let the hen come off
when she is ready. Should she re-
turn to the nest after feeding, remove
the china egg or eggs and put under
those that are to be incubated. In
cool weather it is best to put not more
than ten eggs under hen, while later
in the spring one can put - to Is
according to the size of the hen. If
several hens are sitting in the same
room, see that they are kept on the
nests, only allowing them to come of
to get feed and water. which should
be once day.

ment of Agriculture.)
The period of time it takes to hatch
eggs of the domestic hen is 81 days,
according to Farmers bulletin 562 Of
the department of agriculture. There
are two methods of incubation and
brooding, namely, natural and artffi-
cial. In natural incubation and brood
ing the hen is allowed to sit on a
nest of eggs and brood or mother the
young chicks when Matched. The in
formation contained on this subject is
based on the belief that the average
farmer has little use for an incubator
or brooder unless he intends to hatch
and rear chicks unusually early in the
spring or in large numbers; therefore
only the natural method Of incuba-
ton and brooding will receive atten-
ton at this time.
AS the time approaches for the hens
to become broody or sit, If care is
taken to look In the nests it will be
seen that there are few soft downy
feathers being left there by the hens;
also, the hens stay longer on the nests
when laying at this time, and on being
approached will quite likely remain
on the nest, ruffiing their feathers and
pecking at the intruder. When it is
noted that hen sits on the nest for
two or three nights in succession, she
is ready to be transferred to a nest
which should be prepared for her be-
forehand. This nest should be in a
box and composed of straw, hay, or
chaff for nesting material. Pack this
