TIMBER FIRES
WERE HELD DOWN
RECORD OF POTLATCH TIMBER
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION WAS
REMARKABLE.
Less Than 20 Acres Burned Over
Within Its Jurisdiction During the
Past Year and Loss Slight.

| Probably one of the most remark
able records in the prevention of for
est fires within any district is pointed
to in the record of the fires in the ter
ritory of the Potlatch Timber Pro-
tective association during the past
year shown in a report that will be
presented to the members of the as
sociation at meeting which will be
held at Spokane next Monday. The
report shows that fires occurred in
the district covering but 6972 acres
but that the loss was held to a mini
mum because the burned over timber
was available for immediate logging
and manufacture.
"The loss was nothing in money!"
declared w. D. Humiston of Potlatch
secretary and treasurer of the associa-
ton, who was in Moscow today, "and
the association feels gratified. 1t was
the lowest loss ever recorded by any
association"
The association will meet Monday
at Spokane to hear the report of Of
ficers for the past year and to hold its
ficers and make plans for the coming
year. The territory of the association
IS embraced in Latah and Clearwater
the total acreage regularly
)atrolled within it's boundaries being
,94, 900 acres. There are eight mem
oers of the association, all of whom
will be represented at the meeting
Monday.

the gist of a statement by Foreign
Minister Grey before the house OF

In reply to an Interrogation from a
member, Lord Grey said: Thus far
the United States has shown as much
interest in the death of a British sub
ject as in cases Of outrages against
Americans and have indicated desire
to secure protection of Englishmen
under constitutionalists control. Eff
forts have failed to secure an inves-

Feeds 62-Cent Wheat to Swine, Brings

Model Farm Home.

James Toben of Genesee has fol
the past-few days been a guest at the
home of his friend, James Keane Mr
Toben was formerly a railroad con.
tractor but is now the owner and op-
orator of a large and profitable farm
near Genesee. During the sumner in
which the Inland railroad was brought
into Moscow, Mr.. Tcben handled some
/ contract work in connection with the
construction. During his stay here
he became interested in the Palouse
farming country and decided to look
about for an investment.
Shortly afterward he bought, upon
the recommendation of James Keane
who put the sale through the old
Hans Tweedy place within 1a miles of
Genesee. The place contains 562 acres
and was sold for $4,000
Profit on Hogs.
Some of the figures Mr.. Toben can
show as to the profits to be derived
from stock-raising are very instruc-
tive and should be an encouragement
to those who are likewise engaged
Mr.. Toben has just sold a carload of
hogs and they sold for cents per
pound on foot, the gross return being
about $1500.00. In December Mr.. To-
ha, IL
has 175 head which he will sell later
on. Among these are So brood sows.
To feed this stock, Mr.. Toben plant
ed 100 acres to Canadian field peas
and also raised alfalfa and clover.
Last spring he had wheat in the Gen.
esee warehouse and was offered 81
cents bushel for it. He finally de-
cided to pay the warehouse charges
and haul the wheat back to his farm
so that he could feed it to his stock !
He claims now that by SO feeding he !
made at least a dollar bushel out !,
Of his grain. He bought 1000 sacks of
potatoes and fed them with the wheat. |
He also has on his farm 60 head Ok

System of Accounting.

Commenting further, the report
says: The systems of accounting at
the institutions, while correct and
thorough as to all actual transactions,
do not give sufficient information as
to the future. That is, to put it very
briefly, the books show perfectly what
has been paid, and what is still on
Hand. They do not show clearly what
has been promised, pledged, or obli-
gated. They show what the institu-
ton has expended, but not what it
must expend throughout the remain
der of the biennium, and above all,
how much is still absolutely free and
unpledged in every fund. The board
will eliminate uncertainty in these
matters ,and will organize the ac-
counts so that expenses of the whole
biennium are provided for in advance
at all times

GRADING IS MOST IMPORTANT
Work Should Be Started in Field With
Growing Of crops-careful cult!-
walton Lessons culls.

The most important operation In
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading. The work
should be started In the field with the
growing Of the crops. Careful cultiVa-
tion means fewer culls and less ex-
pense for sorting and grading. Uni
sornity Is the principal requirement
20 be considered in grading and
packing. Growers should not attempt
to handle and market their crops un.
less they pack them In uniform pack
ages and grade them 50 that they will
present uniform quality and general
appearance. Produce put up In good
shape will appear to the best advan-
tage at the time Of sale. Markets are
seldom oversupplied with good fruits
and vegetables; 1t is the uneyenly rip
ened, poorly developed, badly selected
produce that Injuries the sale Of the
better products. Produce Of all kinds
should be sorted so that in each pack.
age each specimen is as nearly like
the others as is practicable. The ef'
dciert grader has in mind the appear
ance Of the whole package, and not
the individual specimens. This work
can seldom be overdone, for the more
rigid the grading the greater will be
the profits at the time OF sale.

DOESN'T ROOT FOR MISCHIEF
Hog ls Looking for AIkali Found In
Soil to Aid In Dlaestion-Tank-
age Is Excellent.

A great many think hog roots just
for mischief. That Is not the case.
The animal roots for alkali, which It
finds In the soil and which aids him in
digestion. Nature helps him out In
this way when man Is foolish enough
to neglect him.
In the amount Of carbonaceous feed
that we feed the hogs there is too LIT
tie phosphate for them.
Anything that we throw to the pigs,
whether lime, bones or oysted shells,
seem to be greatly relished and seems
to be a great help to them in digesting
their other feed and promoting their
general health.
Tankage is an excellent feed to pre-
vent the sows and pigs from having
an apparent craving for uncommon
feeds like bones, old leather and also
killing chickens.
It also aids them In getting more
nutriment out Of their other feed by
keeping them In healthy condition.

KEEPING MILK WITHOUT ICE
Department Of Agriculture Recon-.
mends That Liquid Be Placed In
Jar or Pail Of Water.

TO aid persons who find ice difficult
to obtain to keep their household milk
in better condition than, If it is al
lowed to stand around in heated
rooms, the dairy experts Of the de-
partment Of Agriculture have issued
the following recommendations:
If it IS impossible to procure ice,
the milk bottle can be kept cooler
than the surrounding air by keeping it
in a jar or pail Of running water.
Where it is impossible to use running
water from a faucet, wrap the bottle
in a damp cloth and put it in the
shade in an open window or in any
current Of air. This method will keep
the milk a few degrees cooler than If
left simply in the air. The use Of ice,
however, is always preferable.
If there is no refrigerator in the
house, an inexpensive ice-box for
keeping milk cool can easily be made
by putting about two inches Of saw
dust or excelsior In the bottom Of a
small wooden box about IS inches
long, 12 inches wide, and Il inches
deep. In to this set a covered jar or
tin bucket about s inches in diameter
and tall enough to hold a small milk
bottle. A stone jar is better than a
tin pail, as it will not rust nor grow
.leaky. Pack sawdust around the out
side Of the pail or jar, place the milk
bottle in the pail, and place cracked
ice around the bottle. Put a cover
on the pail or jar. Lay several thick
nesses Of newspaper on top Of the pail
and close the lid Of the wooden case.

The horse stable should contain
windows on all sides for a good cir

should be arranged to be left open

when the animals are feeding or rest

properly fed. A splendid mixture for
laying hens Is equal parts Of cracked
corn, wheat and oats, which should
be scattered in the litter. Bran or
middlings and beef scraps should be
kept in receptacles to which the fowls
have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the egg
yield. Provide four or five feet of
good, clean litter in which to scatter
the grain.
Cabbages, mangels, potatoes, etc..
make excellent green feed.
When wet mashes are fed, be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used, care should be
exercised to squeeze all milk out of the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is good ration.
Plenty Of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
Feed the chickens about five times
daily and only what they will eat up
clean in few minutes, except at
night, when they should receive all
they want
