TOR, MISS zADIE KEITH.

Thursday afternoon between 2 and 5
b. m, the rooms Of the domestic science
department of the Grangeville High
School were open to visitors to view
the handiwork of the pupils for the
past semester.
The department under the direction
of Miss Zadie Keith has done a great
deal of practical and useful work, and
the pupils have proved to be very apt
and proficient under the instruction Of
their teacher. The display was excep-
ticnally good.
The 7th grade work in sewing con-
sisted of serving aprons and caps. The
Freshmen class of the high school
finished a complete set of undergar-
ments, as also did the Junior and SEN

completed night gowns and great deal
of hand work ON the garments shows
the proficiency attained
One thing which derserves particular
mention is the fact that the girls OF
the senior class completed their own

OUR FARMERS HEAR
PROF. SHAW AND
PROF. WILSON
GOOD ATTENTION AND SPIRITED
Observation-Disclosures IN
TEREST SHOWN.
STOCK RAISING AND ALFALFA
Prof Shaw Advocates Stockraising to
Increase and Maintain Fertility
Values of Farm Lands.

A good sized audience gathered at
the opera house Wednesday evening to
listen to sthe talks of Prof. Thomas
Shaw and Prof. f. A. Wilson, the two
agricultural lecturers engaged by the
Northern Pacific railway to lecture to
farmers in the sections tributary to the
railroad. The meeting was lively and
interesting, and there was an open dis
cussion in which many joined. OF
course there was not an absolute agree.
ment between the speakers and the
audience on every point, and there was
also some disagreement among the mem
bers of the audience on certain points.
Professor Shaw was the first speaker
of the evening, being introduced by s.
A.. Anderson. Mr.. Shaw, who is an
elderly man, >prefaced his remarks with
the statement that he had never visited
the prairie before, and that he was
very favorably impressed with the
country on his first visit. He also
stated that he would ask questions for
that he was open to nswer questions if
he could do that. The burden OF his
discourse was livestock and he so an
nounced.
He stated that it was his purpose to
persuade farmers to take such care of
the country that it will always be as
good or better than it ever was, and he
stated that this can only be made pos
sible through the introduction Of live
stock on the farms. "Stock raising has
a great effect on the price of land,'
the professor asserted and he illustrat-
ed the difference in price between land
in the rich grain raising Red River
valley, where farms can be bought for
from go to 70 dollars per acre, and land
in the corn belt of Illinois, Iowa, and
other states where land prices range
from 800 to 5000 per acre. 1.-THE land
is no richer,o he stated, "and why
should it be worth more per acres'
The only reason for the difference was
that stock raising is carried on in the
corn belt.
He then asked if there was any farm
ers present who came from the corn
belt, and asked them if land here was
richer than in the corn belt, and the
reply was yes. He also got the state
ment that Che climate is better here,
but that the price of land was less. He
pointed to this as a peculiar circum-
stance in view of the fact that condi-

commencement gowns. As to the needle
work someone else will have to criti-
cize, as the writer cannot use the
proper terms, but they looked mighty
dainty just the same. The Juniors, as
we understand also participated in the
work, but of course the Seniors only
will be entitled to wear them.
One Of the masculine gender upon in
spection could not possibly detail the
things on display and do proper justice,
but to express it in the vernacular,
"There were certainly lot Of classy
togs."t ~
Specimens of patchwork were also on
exhibition. A patch now. and then

machine comes in the eighth year. In
addition to all above, mentioned, the
cookery classes were serving sand
wiches and other eatablss, produced by
the young students in The kitchen Of
the department. Those who failed TO
see the exhibit missed something of
great interest. This new department
Of the high school, added during the
past year, is one Of the best. That IL
is in the best Of hands, under the direc-
tion Of Mrs. Keith, is shown by the
work.

HIGH WATER AT wH1rER1Rp.

The water in Whitebird creek, caused
by the incessant rains, reached such a
stage last Thursday and to cause great
alarm for a. while and considerable
damage was done before subsiding.
Several buildings, near the creek were
undermined and Tor while things
looked dangerous for the safety of
several others.

tions on a whole are better here and
urged that it pointed to the fact that
stockraising was not extensively follow
ed here on the prairie.
He tried to elicit from his hearers the
information as to how long the land had
been farmed generally and there was
great deal of difference in the answers,
the answers ranging from 90 to so
years. In response to his query wheth-
er the farmers raised as much wheat on
an average now -as formerly, there was
again some difference in the opinions,
some stating that they raised as much.
but those who stated that not as good
a yield is had now as formerly seemed
to be in majority.
The professor then illustrated that in
straight grain raising certain valuable
elements, potash, nitrates and >phos-
pilates, were taken from the. soil and
not replaced. Also that the wheat takes
humus from the soil, and he got laugh
from the audience when he stated,
I" And I have actually heard that farm
ers here on the prairie who take humus
from the soil raising wheat, destroy
it by burning the straw"
He stated that he did not advocate
giving up grain raising, but that the
system Of farming must be different.
A grass crop, must be included now and
then, and by grass crops the professor
stated that he referred to clover and
alfalfa. And in connection with the
raising of grass crops and disposing of
the same the professor stated that stock
raising must be followed to dispose of
the grass crop. Here he asked certain
questions to ascertain how many were
and how many were growing
beef on their own land and stated that
this was the proper solution.
With reference to the future pros
poets of stockraising, the professor
pointed to the steady raise in the price
of meats, and the reason he stated, is
found in the fact that the large areas
of grazing land which were formerly
available from 20 to 25 years ago have
been taken UP and settled and stock
raising on an extensive scale has been
on the decline. This has caused the
shortage which sent the price up and
it win stay up the professor further
asserted and he pointed to the fact
that the war in Europe is having its
effect by destroying large numbers of
beef animals which will require some
time to replace, thus assuring high,
and even higher price, for some time,
whether the war continues or not.
He urged the Importance of getting
in the way of taking the advantage
of the high prices which animals will
bring and stated that as for grains, if
the war would stop tomorrow the prices
would go down, while meats would still
be as high.
Dual Purpose Cattle.
The professor advocates the dual
purpose animal as most practical and
explained that dual purpose, means two
purpose-meat and milk. He advocat-
ed pure blood sire, and as for the
cows he stated that good cow which
gives a good flow of milk and raised
good beef stuff, irrespective of breed,
was what should be chosen. OF course
this position was not taken to the ex-
clusion of the raising of pure bred
stock, but was suggested as something
available to every farmer no matter
what his means.
He then detailed his experience on a

Cultivating Alfalfa.

Cultivating alfalfa, may not be the
proper term, but this is assuredly the
method recommended by Mr., Wilson.
He advocates going over the alfalfa
field in the spring with q. harrow or
disc to loosen the soil around the plants
and to destroy weeds. This should al
SO be done after each cutting. The disc
should be set SO a. not to injure the
plants. OF course after the plants have
become older, and the roots larger and
tougher, there is less danger of injury
to the roots. Special implements for
working alfalfa fields are on the mar.
ket and they are suited to the condi.
tions which maintain in different sec
tions where different soil difficulties

their food. Their stomachs become

for good health unless his bowels
