FORESTRY DEPARTMENT.

During 1913 tree seed was sown
on ten of the thirty-three National
Forests of District No. 4, (southern
Idaho. Utah. Nevada. southwest
Wyoming. and northwestern Arizona)
covering an area of 1922 acres; trees
we're planted,in twenty forests on an
area of 1892 acres. The greatest
amount of any forest was $50 acres
sown, and 2S6 acres planted. All of
the sowing and 81 per cent of the
planting was done in the fall. The
cost per acre for sowing was $4.69.
and for planting $12.43; using $40
trees to the acre. An increase of 36
cents per acre for slapt planting
over that of 1912 is due to the use of
older stock. OF the trees planted
50.7 per cent, were yellow pine; 42.S
Douglas FIR, and 6.5 per cent. other
species.

ton of the special grand jury and

case at Houghton. Saturday.
George E. Nichols. the special
prosecutor, decided that there was no
law under which the men who are
alleged to have forced Meyer on the
train could be punished. even If they
could be identified, and he so inform
ed the jury.
He presented the names of II
prominent men. members of the Citi-
zens' alliance, who were alleged to
have been involved in the affair, and
sought their indictment on the charge
of assaulting Meyer. with the intent
to do him great bodily harm, less
than the crime of murder"
The jury made a thorough investi-
CATION of the case. pursuant to special
instructions from Circuit Judge
O'Brien. Twenty-seven witnesses, in
Guiding Meyer and Charles III. Tan

PLAYING CARDS
SPREAD DISEASE
SCIENTIST MAKES STARTLING
DISCOVERY OF GERM-CARRY-
ING QUALITIES OF THE CRYP-
TIC BOARDS.

A number of new and very sur
nrising facts about microbes and their
habits have lately been brought TO
light. These point to dangers In
card playing never before dreamed
of. show why serious Illness and
deatht often follow dinner parties
clear up the mystery which has
hitherto surrounded n of the most
troublesome forms of rheumatism,
and make ii quite plain what causes
yarieose veins, says the Richmond
Va.) Times Dispatch.
The discovery of the dangers
which Turk in playing cards came
about quite by accident. The wife of
a distinguished French scientist, who
has made a speciality of bacteriology,
is an enthusiastic bridge player. Every
afternoon a large number of ladies
gather at her Paris home to enjoy a
few hours at this game.
One afternoon recently the profess
sor returned home to find only foul
or five ladies gathered at the card
table instead of the customary TWEEN
ty-fiye or thirty. All the other club
members, his wife explained, had
been taken Ill since the close of their
play the day before. Some of them
had the grip, one or two showed
symptoms of typhoid fever and sew
eral were threatened with pneu-
monia.
The professor was amazed to hear
that so many of his wife's friends
had beer stricken at the same time.
and his scientific training at once
prompted him TO seek a reason for
this mysterious epidemic of various
diseases.
Could IL be that these women had
beer infected by the cards which
they had been handling daily for
weeks? Ii hardly seemed possible,
for the surface of the cards was
smooth and highly polished, and his
wife was careful to bring a new
pack into use as soon as N became
even slightly worn or soiled.
Yet. seeing no other possible solu-
ton of the problem, the professor de-
cided to inyetigate the condition of
the cards. Picking up a pack which
had been In use only an hour or so.
he retired TO his laboratory. With
Infinite pains he carefully spong-
ed off each card. mixed the very mi
mute particles of matter which this
process yielded with gelatine, and

In spite of the latter fact, DR..

but through combining forces with
various other microbes whose nature
is not yet understood. The trouble
starts with an irritation of the nerves
of the skin, which upset the central
nervous system and ultimately
shows its effects in the swollen In
famed joints.

all the checks.
A word should be said as L these
checks. They were printed on the
best protected paper; they bore the
debit and credit ruling and each
carried out in full the account of the
man to whom 1t was issued. There
was a debit line for board for the
number of days corresponding to his
days of work; a debit line for mer-
ehandise, a credit column for the
number of days worked at a given
rate, and the balance, which corre-
sponded to the face of the check.
There was, too, a neatly engraved
picture of a big steam shovel on n
corner of the checks. These checks
were made payable at the Merchants
bank in Salt Lake City, or IL desir-
able, the Citizens bank of Portland,
Or. or at the Utah National Bank at

WORK TEAMS NEED
THE BEST OF CARE
Furnish Deep, Dry Bedding for
Horse at All Times-Treat
the Animals Kindly.

The best order in feeding is: Water,
hay, water again, grain. Never give
grain to a tired horse. Let him rest
and nibble hay for an hour or two
first. Water the horses as often as
possible; but let the horse that comes
in hot drink few swallows only.
Keep a deep, dry bed under the
horse while he is in the stable, day
or night, on Sundays especially. The
more he lies down the longer his legs
and feet will last. Never put up a
horse dirty or muddy for the night.
At least, brush his legs and belly and
straighten his hair. In hot weather
and in all weather, If the horse is hot,
sponge his eyes, nose, dock, the har-
ness marks and the inside of his hind
quarters when he first comes In.
When the horse comes in wet with
rain, first scrape him, then blanket
him and rub his head, neck, loins and
legs. If the weather is cold put on
an extra blanket in 20 minutes. Speak
gently to the horse and do not swear
or yell at him. He is a gentleman by
instinct and should be treated as
such.

DO NOT OVERLOOK
SUPPLY OF HUMUS
Particularly Necessary Where
Commercial Fertilizers Are
Used With Green Crops.

Except on soils nearly or quite vir-
gin, there are few farms where nu-
mus cannot be used by the soil to
great advantage. In many sections
where commercial fertilizers have been
used for years, to the exclusion OF sta
BILE manures, it has been found neces-
sary to grow green crops for blowing
under. Where the green crops are
used as a part of the rotation, so to
speak. the exclusive use of CONNER
cial fertilizers can probably be safely
continued.
The best results come from the
combined use of stable manures and
commercial manures, using the former
for blowing under in the spring and
the latter for top-dressing or working
in lust under the surface as the crop
grows. In this manner the humus re-
ouired by the soil is supplied and the
'ertili7ing value of the manure as well.
Cont overlook the humus question If
5ou would keep the farm up to the
ighest standard.

which we're plainly observable during

sometimes induced by the deuse opac-
