humus. In our clean culture madness
we have burned out all Of the organic
matter, or humus, the soil ever had.
This system of clean cultivation and
burning out the humus cannot 90 on
indefinitely. 1t is now up to US to
plant cover crops of some kind and
help to put organic matter into the
soil. For our part we have found that
letting weeds grow until three or
four inches tall and then disking them
in has had tendency to improve soil
conditions, although this method is
not advisable if you wish to make
your orchard "model," yet it re-
quires but one-half the labor than by
the orchard cultivator method. Now
that we expect to have sufficient wa
ter for irrigation we contemplate
planting our orchard to red clover
and will cut same for hay for a cou-
pie of years, after which we will
clean cultivate for one season. By
this method we believe the soil can
be improved as the demand for or
ganic matter is increased by the pro-
duction of heavy crops of fruit. The
hay thus produced is not necessarily
taken from the land, but can be re-
turned by the dairy COW route, thus
improving the land and aiding pro-
fitable side line for the orchardist,
which in connection with reasonable
number of brood sows ought to put
the fruit man on a business basis
even in off fruit years.

From our personal experiences
we have found that many methods
found advisable on the old farm in
Iowa are not applicable to the CON
ditions in the arid west. One of
them here on the mesa is listing in
corn-it has not proven satisfactory
one year out of five. Remember our

seed may never get through the
ground if it should rain before it is
up, as you cannot reach it With a

method, which often does not prove
satisfactory.

Don't overlook the hen. According
to the agricultural department the
value of all kinds of fowls and eggs
produced in the United States last
year equals more than billion dol
lars-a greater sum than the entire
value of the wheat crop of the Unit
ed States, more than double the oat
crop and three-quarters of the corn
crop. Raising poultry is one of the
most profitable side lines of the farm
and depends entirely upon the energy
and skill devoted to the business, but,
the three essential features are breed,
feed and care. We are pleased to
learn that so many of our Emmett
farmers are looking after this part
of the business with much interest.

Our turkey men report that great
number of their hens are now laying,

short time they work their way out
ward to the tissues between the skin
and flesh. Following this they move
toward the backbone, arriving there
about January. Boring hole through
the hide for air, they remain quiet,
absorbing nourishment from their
host until the latter part of March,
when they force themselves out and
fall to the ground, where they de-
velop into the adult or fly form. The
fly then attacks the cattle, laying its
eggs, and the life cycle is complete.
AS with all insects, there is a time
in its life when attack may be best
made. The time to kill the oxbot is
before it leaves the animal. Use a
common oil can filled with turpentine
or kerosene, inserting the spout in
the hole cut by the larva; squirt a
small amount in. When dead the lar
vac are quickly absorbed and the
opening heals. If every cattle owner
would apply this remedy the oxbot
could soon be exterminated.
No doubt, the best appearing or
chards in the world are to be found
in Idaho, and especially in the Pay
cite valley. The methods used have
been those fathered by the land spec
ulator and the man who planted or
chards to sell them upon their ap
pearance, with no thought of the fu-
ture whatever A great number in
our neighborhood, however, who ex
pect to keep their orchards and who
planted them for the purpose of grow
ing fruit and making homes, are be-
ginning to notice that the soil does
not work as it did when the trees
were first planted. 1t bakes very
easily, is not so retentive of moisture
and in every way is harder to han
die More irrigation is necessary and
when we irrigate the soil washes
where it once did not. We also have
to cultivate just as soon after irfi-
cation or rain as it is possible or it
will form a hard crust and will not
cultivate satisfactorily, but will have
to irrigate again in a few days. This
is largely due to lack of

The visitor departed, leaving his ad-

the problem he had left for solution
he had but little hope OF the scientists
success. He heard nothing from DR..
Carrelton for several months. then re-
reived n note inviting him to call on
him at the institute When the two
were again together the doctor said:

'He will have nothing to do with any

"Solved!' exclaimed Mr.. Higgin-
botham grasping the scientists hand
enthusiastically.

that it is not face or figure that alone

lures through the portraits have re-
placed on his brain those of the dead,

"Professor" exclaimed Mr. Higgin-
botham. 81 have read of your scientific
victories published to the world, but |

humble instrument of drawing forth

Grasping DR.. CaTelton's hand and
squeezing II so that the scientist cried
out with pain, the enthusiastic Higgin-
botham took his departure.
Il was not long after this that Al
bert Higginbotham, standing before the
picture of his dead love. noticed a
slight change. It being fresher looking
than before. He spoke to his father
about the matter and was told that he
had sought to please his son by calling
I'm a picture cleaner TO take the dirt of
it. Occasionally thereafter Albert fan
cied he saw some change I'm his picture,
but was not sure. During n year a
dozen pictures were substituted. In the
twelfth little remained Of the features
OF the dead: indeed. it was a portrait
of Miss Anna Scarsdale, living per-
son.
Mr.. Hlgginbothnm. Sr., had found
this young woman somewhat resem-
bling his sons dead love after long
search. He had interested her in his

She was well Off in her own right and
disposed to marry only for love.
After her own portrait had taken the
place Of the one worshiped by young
Higgihbotham, one day when he was at
home she called on his father ostensi-
bly, on matter of business. Albert saw
her as she passed out and was para
lyzed with astonishment. Hastening
to his father, he inquired who she was
and. taking him to the supposed pic
ture of the girl he had lost. exclaimed:

Indeed, do"
"Very well. We will have her to

"Tomorrow-tod

visit from Mr.. HigginbOtham. who
took the doctor in his arms in a bear

him.

It did take place within a few
months Albert Higginbotham married
Anna Scarsdale, and the match turned
out very happy one.
This is probably the first case in
which the material constitution Of love
has been scientifically proved. Parents
with sons and daughters who persist in
making unfortunate marriages should
be encouraged to hope that their chill
dren's unions may be guided scientil-
cally.

INTERFERING WITH
BUSINESS

Vice President Marshall seems to b
taking an undemocratic view of recen
legislation when he declares that Con
gress should now give business rest.
Has Congress been interfering with bust
ness? That is, with useful business
Does the Vice President hold that
the Underwood law interiered with
useful business inrelieviug it Of some
of the taxes with which it was bur
dened?
Does the currency law interfere
with useful business IN making it
easier for a business man to get credit
from banker willing to extend it?
Or does he think that the kind Of
business which preys on industry is
of more importance than the busi-
ness which is part of industry
His reported statement leaves the
impression that he is unable to dis
tinguish between business essential
ly useful and business that is other
wise.
He seems to place himself in that
class of statesmen who see in the
war on the house fly a blow at the
fly paper business;
in a movement to drain a swamp, an
injury to industry of manufacturing
remedies for malaria,
or in a reduction of the death rate
wrong to coffin makers.
Congress can not without neglect Of
duty postpone attack on any legalized
wrong out of consideration for business
interests that may be founded upon it.
There has been far too much delay Of
that kind already. There is more delay
involved than there ought to be in all
the Democratic party pledges.
President Wilson has forced the party
in spite of itself, to redeem some inn
portant pledges.
Does Vice President Marshall dislike
to see such a record established for his

CONFESSION OF A PRO-
TECTIONIST

There is so much evidence OF the fact
that protection is fraud and a robbery
that additional proof is hardly necessary
Still It is unusual for proteetiouist adj
vocate to admit the fact and then urge il
as a reason for its continuance.
This has been done by one Braxton w.
Campbell, a Cincinnati saddlery manu-
hcturer Mr., Campbell admits that he
lacks efficiency to produce a saddle in his
factory with which he can enter the mar
ket in competition with, one that can be
imported duty free from England for
one pound and twelve shillings or about
S7.SS. So Mr. Campbell makes the mod
est demand that all users Of saddles be
compelled TO pay tax to subsidize him.
In other words Mr.. Campbell admits
that for many years he has been carrying
on parasite industry that has sup
ported itself not by giving value for val
ue, but levying tribute on the industry
Of others.
Mr.. Campbell claims that he does not
want this tribute for himself he wants
to distribute it among his employees. II
would be easier to believe what he says
were it not that other statements make
one doubt his assertions. He claims to
be a Democrat and once carried that pre-
tense so far as TO accept a Democratic
nomination for Congress and to run on
the Democratic ticket. A man who says
in one breath that he is a protectionist
and i'm the next that he is loyal mem-
Der of a party committed against protec-
ton proves one of two things. He either
does not know what he is talking about
or he is trying TO deceive someone. In
either case something more than his un-
supported statement would be required
by r easouably cautious people. The
truth is that Mr.. Campbell pays as much
as he must. Wages are not regulated by
tariffs, but by the condition of the labor
market, which tariffs affect no other way
than unfavorably.
If any purchaser of saddles donbts that
he has been robbed through the tariff he
need but read Mr.. Campbells uninten-
tional confession to be convinced.

SOMETHING STANDPATTERS
NEVER LEARN

Twenty years before the French Rev
olution, the Minister of Finance, Robert
Turgot, proposed a slight tax on land
values as a means OF raising enough rev
enue to make possible the abolition OF
forced labor Of peasants on the public
roads. The suggestion sent the landed
nobility into hysteria. They raised such
an outcry that the King was forced to
dismiss Turgot Some years later the
peasants took affairs in their own hands.
About two years ago Francis l. Madero,
President of Mexico, proposed legisla-
ton to break up the big landed estates.
The bourbon landowners, like their
eighteenth century French prototypes,
objected. They financed the movement
that led to the overthrow Of Madero and
accession of Huerta A leader among
these landowners was Louis Terrazrs, Of
Chihuahua. Recently Mr.. Terrazas ar
rived in this country a refugee; His es-
tates, said to be fully two thirds of the
State of Chihuahua have been been con-
liscated by the Constitutionalists, as the
former Maderist party is now called.
Bouybons never learn, it is said. But
it is possible that in spite Of his bourbon
ism, Mr.. Terrazas has learned that he
and other landowners supported Madero's
moderate proposals, he would still be
living peacefully in Chihuahua.
All the bourbons are not in Mexico.
The evil of land monopoly in this country
has not become as intense as it has there
but it is intense enough to have created
a permanent army Of unemployed, to
have left but bare living to most Of
those at work, to have forced thousands
within the cities to live in crowded un-
sanitary quarters, and to have produced
beggars tramps and criminals. In spite
of these facts our bourbons are initiating
their Mexican brethren in frantic and
opposition to the most mod
crate proposals of reform. Fortunately
they have not the strength that enabled
their French and Mexican prototypes to
permanently block reform by lawful and
peaceful methods. But that such is their
desire they have made manifest enough.
