A FINE HOLIDAY NUMBER
Statesman Issues One of the
Best in the History of
the West.

The annual "Outlook Number

very hard to get out so credit
able an issue. The Statesman
does not always agree with what
the Recorder says and knows is
for the best good of Idaho or of
the nation-but this issue giving
facts and figures of Idaho's pro-
gress and promise for the future,
is altogether good and one that
should be filed away for refer
ence. The Statesman is to be
congratulated for a really memor
able contribution to the history
of the state, in this new year
edition.

DIR. DAVIES WILL PRACTICE
Reenters the Profession After a
Long, Profitable Vacation.

DR.. j. C. Davies has moved in
from his country home, and take
up his residence in the Bower
property. He practiced medicine
for more than 30 years before
coming here, with much success
leaving the city work to take up
his. home on the farm, for his
own physical we'll being. Three
years on his Richfield farm have
rejuvenated him physically, and
he is now going back into the
practice for which he had spent
most Of his lifetime in prepara-
ton. Since coming here, he has
not undertaken a general prac-
tice, though he has accepted a
few calls from neighbors and
friends. Now he is preparing to
undertake a general medical and
surgical practice.

Whether the Train Stops Where
You Want to Go.

Passengers going out from Richfield
to any of the smaller towns en- the
main line would do we'll to consult the
ticket agent and the very latest time
card before saying just how they are
going to travel. The railroad has re-
Gently discontinued stopping some OF
its passenger trains at several of the
smaller stations, except to let on or Oft
passengers to or from points beyond
Pocatello on the east or Huntington on
the west. Application has also been
made to the public utilities commission
for permission to close several small
stations, such as Kuna and Hammett,
on the ground that there is not nearly
enough business there to pay. 1t will
pay you to get the very latest promul-
CATION before you stat out to travel.

missed two trains and lost day and
half of time last week in getting to and
from Bliss, under the new schedule OF
no-stops.

BERKsHIRES IN DEMAND
Local Breeders Association Re-
port Much Interest.

w. L. Dougherty is most en-
thusiastic over the outlook for
Berkshire hogs on the Richfield
tract the coming season. He says
that he has already had almost
enough applications for pigs to
take the entire crop Of Berk-
shires raised on his ranch south
west of town. The pigs brought
in from Illinois last fall are do
ing wonderfully well, and he and
all the members of the Berkshire
Breeders association feel that
they made a good financial move
in buying when and where they
did, and in getting the very best
stock there was on the market.
There have been no cases Of
cholera on the Richfield tract,
and these animals have been
douhly inoculated, so that they
are proof against the disease,
while their progeny will be far
less liable to infection because Of
This incubation. The young pigs
will be treated this summer, so
that the Richfield Berkshires will
be immune and the safest Of all
hogs to buy.

Rev. Leitch, director of the

that he authorizes the statement
that they will make their first
public concert appearance in
February; either Lincoln's birth
day, February 18th, or Washing
toms birthday, on the 22nd.
There is no band, east or west,
better equipped with instruments
than the Richfield organization.
They bought the absolute best
there was in the market--silver
plated horns, and everything Of
the highest quality made. As q
result, there is some encourage
ment to play. The horns blow
better, make a better tone, and
get and keep in tune where
cheap horns will not be satisfac-
tory for a minute. When the
concert comes off, everybody
will be able to Judge for himself

ART OF TREE SCULPTURE
Old English Custom That Called for
tho Cutting of Fantastic
Shapes.

Very many years ago It was the
fashion of England and on the con-
tinent to have great gardens of over
green trees trimmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filed with crouch
ing lions, pigs and even hens and
chickens, all laboriously sculptured
from living green and kept in trim
by constant use Of the knife and the
shears
A few of these gardens were or
tablished in this country and one still
remains in perfect condition. 1t II

The County Farms and Schools,
were the Speakers from outside
who took part in the Farmers
School Program in Richfield

being so badly drifted with
snow, the attendance was small
but the interest was of the best
and the speakers were highly
pleased with what good the
School seemed to do.
All the speakers dwelt on the
importance Of using the winter
months as a thinking period to
get ready for the field operation
of the growing season. The
Importance of better pastures
as a preparation for cheaper and
better stock, was insisted upon
all through the day. Some very
helpful suggestion were offered
as to how to establish better
pastures. And no one who atten-
ded and who might make later
failure of the stock business, can
ever say that he wasn't warned
and advised of the Importance
of better shelter for stock than

ham, and cheaper.
To determine just when the
meat has been cured: Take one
of the shoulders, saw off two or
three steaks, and note the color
of the lean. If the inner mus
cles are turning a red tinge and
the outer muscles are quite red,
the indications are that it is suf-
ficiently cured. 1t is best to fry
these steaks. If the outside is
bit too salty and the inside not
salty enough. it is time to quit
curing. Hang it up for smoking.
