great care must be taken to keep the
roots always moist. A few minutes
in the sunshine will so harden the
pitch in the roots that the trees are

WHERE SOME let
tiers ARE LOST

Several years ago a drummer took
good order in Blackfoot and after
supper he mailed it to the house,
placing it in receptacle provided
for mail in front of the Pioneer Drug
store, operated by Scott and company.
A sign on the mail box showed that
mail deposited in 1t was taken to
the post office at certain intervals,
and he went ON his way. Some time
afterwards the same drummer was in
Blackfoot trying to trace that letter,
which had never reached its destina-
ton, but he did not find out anything.
A number of mysterious inquiries
about mail were made from time to
time by different parties, but not
greatly out of the ordinary. One day
1t occurred to somebody to take down
a certain old mail box that had been
doing duty in front of Scott and COM
pany's, when they had been in BUSH
ness, and behold, it was full of some
|thing. Investigation showed it to
be filled with letters, some addressed
to mail order houses, some to various
other places and one addressed to
the wholesale house represented by
the drummer we spoke of. Some Of
them had been in the box few days
and como n faw mantle
When the Aberdeen Motor was put
into operation they did not carry
mail, but afterwards they arranged
to take it by express and they do yet.
One day the conductor discovered
that the letterdrop in the side of the
car was working and investigation
showed pile of letters in the car
that had been riding up and down
the line between Pocatello and Aber-
deem, for nobody knew how long, for
nobody had looked into the box for
mail. They were all duly posted and
a lot of people received letters and
tried to figure out how they had been
so long on the way.
A new order has just gone into
effect concerning letters that are
posted without stamps on. They are
forwarded anyhow and double post
age is collected at the destination.
For example, If you write to Dick
Brown in Boston, and have no return
card on the letter, under the old sys-
tenn, Dick Brown would receive a
card from the Blackfoot post master
telling him that if he would send two
cents to Blackfoot his letter would
be forwarded to him. Dick writes
the letter, encloses two cents, puts
two cents on the envelope and in ten
days the letter proceeds on is way
costing Brown four cents and the de-
lay and stationery.
Under the new order the govern
ment carries the letter to Brown in
stead of the card, and he pays four
cents to get possession of it, saving
delay and the trouble of writing the
letter.

IDAHO FIGURES IN APPROPRIA
TION BILL

WASHINGTON, D. G. FEB. H.
The good roads appropriation bill
calling for an appropriation of $685.
600, 900 has passed the house of rep
resentatives. AS the bill is now
drawn the distribution of the appro-
priation carried by the bill will be
made upon the basis of the popula-
tion and number of miles of star
routes in each state.
1t is estimated that Idaho's share
of this will be onl about $150,O00.
Representative Mondell, of Wyoming,
introduced an amendment in the
house, calling for the additional item
of area taken in connection with
population and star routes in making
the division of the money, providing
for the distribution to be made by the
several state appropriating an amount
of money to be spent along with the
amount of money given by the federal
government, according to the ratio
that the cultivated land ineach state
bears to the total area of land in the
state. The administration steam
roller in the house, however, refused
to consider the Mondell amendment
and the fight will now be carried into
the senate by the Wyoming senators
aided by Senator Brady of Idaho and
other western senators. If their eff
forts are successful, Idaho will come
in for her fair share, which will
amount to nearly a half million dol
lars.
In addition to this Senator Brady
has pushed his thirty thousand dol
lar appropriation bill for the compile
ton of the Boise Yellowstone road
from Ashton to Yellowstone. The bill
is now up for consideration before the
committee on agriculture in the SEN
ate, of which. Senator Brady Is mem

More Money From Eggs.
BY II. l., KEMPsTER.

Bad eggs cause Missouri far
mers a loss Of between three and
four million dollars annually.
Government experts estimate
that five per cent OF the eggs
marketed have developing chick
ems and shat three per cent are
"rots" due to the embryo decay
ing. All these losses could be
avoided by keeping roosters out
of the flocks, thus having only
infertile eggs produced. II Mis-.
souri, farmers would follow this
plan, they could cave one and
three fourths millions of dollars
annually.
InfertiIe eggs produced by
fiocks iE which there is no male
bird are the only kind that can
reach the consumer in good con.
dition during the hot summer
months. The only object in hav.
ing male bird in the flock is to
get fertile eggs for Matching pur-
poses. Now that the Matching
season is over, the Missouri COL
Iege Of Agriculture urges all far
mers to sell off all the roosters or
shut them away from the hens.
Last year in July and August
nearly one.half the eggs leaving
the farms were unfit for food.
The farmer as a result, received
a low price. Prevent that loss
this year by getting rid of the
rooster. Now is the time to act
to prevent future Losses.

Worlds Record For A
Dairy Cow Broken.

| The last word has been spoken
by the Guernsey COW, May Ril.
ma, according 10 the report sent
out by the American Guernsey
Cattle Club.
This COW in 365 days produced
196S9.5 pounds ofmilk and 1869. :
80 pounds of butter fat. This
record is marvellous. Almost 8
pounds Of butter day. 1t would
take seven average Missouri cows
to produce this amount Of butter.
To produce this amount of but
ter, it required extreme care and
management. IL is the outcome
of years of selection for produce
tion. The question is "Does it
pay 10 test cows?" The answer
is self evident.
| This COW consumed about $500
worth Of feed, and in return gave
about $3.50. This 10 not all. The
owner OF this animal will reap a
still larger harvest in the sale of
his surplus animals. He has
gained the reputation of produc-
ing a record breaker, which will
