INTO VERlTABLE MINT-s3o,-
600 LAST YEAR.

EMMETT. May 2S.-One hundred
thousand dollars worth of turkeys will
be shipped from Emmett next fall,
making of Emmett the greatest turkey
shipping point in the northwest. These
figures are made upon estimates that
are considered quite conservative.
Last fall Emmett made a record for
Idaho in turkey shipping when it
shipped $4,000 worth of turkeys TO
Portland.
As in other valleys of southern
Idaho, the farmers of Emmett are this
year farming in better. more earnest
and a more effective manner than
ever has been known in this state.
The result is that the farming districts
of this state are undergoing what
amounts to practically a revolution as
compared to conditions found here in
former years.
Almost every farmer without ex-
ception is raising turkeys in this sec
ton. In dozens Of cases, the turkeys
pay the taxes and the intere or else
bring in the coin for the purchase Of
cows or Of hogs.
Turkeys are hardy birds if they get
past the first three weeks after hatch
ing. They are ranged b, elk on the
hillsides through the sagebrush like
so many sheep. Farmers pay the tur-
key herd boys to range their birds
through the orchard and the alfalfa
once or twice a week. to clean up the
devastating grasshoppers.
The Emmett turkeys receive no feed
of any kind outside of what they get
on the range on their own account
until within a month of market day.
when they are given grain. They have
proven very profitable here and farm
ers are going into raising them more
extensively than ever.
The marketing of the turkeys
Thanksgiving week is an interesting
scene in Emmett Farmers haul in
dressed turkeys by the sideboard
wagon load. Occasionally a farmer
brings in a double-header load from
back in the hills. Last year two men
drove in 500 head of birds. Ten farm
ers received more. than $3.50 each last
year for turkeys and lot of them got
better than 500. One man took home
a check for $3.50.

You VIII recall that DOr- @ Q q, 9 - g
ton of the resolution which says:
"Resolved. that in view Of the neces-
sity for battling for the first principles
of Republican government, and against
the schemes of an aristocracy, the most
revolving with which the earth was
ever cursed or man debased. we Will
cooperate and be known as the Repub-
leans until the contest is terminated"
At the time sir, that that reso-
luton was written and adopted there
was scarcely an individual connected
with our government, from the boot
black lettering upon the steps of the
capitol to the chief magistrate of the
nation, unaffected and uninfluenced
by that cruel system which lived upon
the wealth gathered from other mems
under the oaks appealed to a constitu-
ency which no system could corrupt
or make afraid. They presented al
issue without hesitancy and without
compromise and counted upon the 10y
atty and patriotism of the people to
work out their salvation in peace If
possible, in blood and sacrifice if nee
essary.
The resolution has in it the note of
crusade, the heroic tone of action, and
the old veterans here tonight will re-

ton. for in the wake of that resolution
was to follow marching armies, battle

that resolution, the Republican party

Brown Bread.

Bread made from whole wheat flour
is quite an important food for nursing
mothers; indeed, it is generally desir-
able for both grown people and chill
Zen. There are alkaline phosphates
III whole wheat which contribute to
the formation OF salts in the body.
These salts are necessary to life. AL
SO, it supplies materials for bone and
tooth building. Whole wheat bread is
considered somewhat less dgestible
than white bread, but it contains more
true food 10 a given quantity.
In purchasing whole wheat -four sell
ect that which is rich dark brown
in color, rather course-that is, gran
ulated-and free from large particles
of bran. The outside husk is indiges-
tible because composed largely of Gel
lulose. Good whole wheat -four is
made from the whole wheat grain
from which the outside bran husk has
been removed. II contains all the al
buminoids and the nutritive mineral
substances found in wheat flour.
Graham or bran bread is considered
desirable in some cases Of constipation
The graham -four in the market
is frequently combination Of white
flour, considerable bran and a little
"middling," or shorts" Bran is in
destructible in the digestive tract,
therefore is irritating, and if taken
with other foods will hurry them
through the intestines before they can
be digested and absorbed.

Why Women Wear Skirts.

From the Baltimore Sun
Why do men wear pants and women
skirts? This is ancient history. In
prehistoric times, long before the Pei
asgians occupied Greece, twenty odd
centuries before our era, when man
began TO enter an era OF civilization, il
became necessary To make some dis
tinction in the dress of the sexes,
which had been up to that time much
the same: and il was finally decided To
refer the matter to a commission of
ten venerables who solved the problem
in the following manner.
An even hundred of the youths of
both sexes was chosen from the best
families, and they were ordered each
in turn TO march around a circle in "A
large Enclosure. The report of the
commission was to the effect that the
marching and demeanor of the males
was SO attractive and perfect that they
recommended that each leg should
have separate cover in order that
the admirable bearing of man in his
movements might be always in full
view and unobstructed. | give in fun
the commissions report on the fe-
males:
Your commission has given careful
consideration to the performance OF
the female contingent and have noted
the following particulars thereof OF
the 100, 81 marched with their toes
turned inwardly; Of these 40 were af-
fected in the left foot, 81 in the right
and 20 in both feet. But three OF the
lot showed perfection in planting both
feet. Each of the 81 imperfects had
the heels of their shoes worn on the
inside and twisted outwardiy CORES
ponding 10 the defect stated--that is
to say the 40 with the left heel worn
and twisted, 81 with the right and 20
with both heels. In this respect no
fault is found with the three eXcep-
tons whose heels appeared To be in
perfect condition. In marching the
same result was found in a serious de-
feet, for which we can find no term
in describing other than ''wabbling.'
The three exceptions, we are glad TO
say, were without this defect
considering the painful sight of
wabbling pair Of legs with turned in
toes at the extremities for
front view, and the fearful mission re-
commends that women's dress shall
conform to a style that shall conceal
from view both legs and feet"

How Easily Things Go Wrong.

How Easily Things Go Wrong.
Alas! how easily things go wrong;
A sigh too much or kiss too long,
And there follows mist and a weep
ing rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alas! how hardly things go right!
'Tis hard TO watch on a summers night
For the sigh will come and the kill
will stay,
And the summers night is a winters
day
And yet how easily things go right,
If the sigh and the kiss of a winters
night
Come deep from the soul in the strong
er ray
That is born in the light of a winters
day
And things can never go badly wrong
II the heart be true and the love be
strong;
For the mist, IL IL comes, and the
weeping rain
Will be changed by the love into sun
shine again.-George Macdonald.
