to have given satisfaction. Nothing
but the highest grade attractions are
carried by the company and the fair
Management is confident the general
public will be pleased with the enter
tainment.
Red" Pruitt, with a bunch of buck
ing broncho riders, has also been en-
gagged by the fair management to stage
a complete line of wild west fea-
lures at the fair. The aggregation
comes from Camas Prairie and are
real Salmon River cowboys who know
the game. They will bring with them
some of the worst outlaw horses in
Idaho. They will stage bucking con-
tests, stake races, wild horse races
bulldogging the steer, potato races
and tug of war on horseback
Red" Pruitt has ridden in the sad
die for years in the big roundups and
was champion at the Pendleton show
in 1912. In subsequent year he took
second place.
Every department of the annual fair
is now receiving a larger entry list
of exhibits than it has in all previous
years in the history of the Latah cOun
ty organization, according to the man
agement today. Everything points to
the 1915 fair being the largest ever
staged here and prospects for a great
attendance are extremely bright.

DOUBLE ROW PLAN IN FAVOR
vigor and Averaged Lager Than
Those Set in Single Rows.

Last summer instead of planting
our celery in single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows, says
writer in an exchange. The ground
is upland, and was in fairly good con-
dition, a crop of early potatoes having
already been harvested 1t was not
replowed, but was well narrowed and
leveled.
The rows where the celery was to
be set were spaded, two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-rotted manure, supple
mented with complete fertilizer, was
used in the row. This was well raked
in with the pronged hoe, the soil that
was thrown out was returned and the
plot leveled.
The plants were set by line, in
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart in the row.
The double rows were four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those set
in single rows, and better than. any
we have ever grown under the single
row system. The advantage lies in
the saving of labor in banking, and in
economy of space, as more plants can
be grown on the same land

GETS BoARS INTO CONDITION
to Get Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before Feeding.

A boar that is put into show con,
dition or permitted to get too fat often
fails as a breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in good shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them mile
or two miles, sometimes in the morn
ing before feeding them, and have
very little corn in the ration.
One herdsman purchased two we'll
known boars that either on account of
shipment or too frequent usage be-
fore refused to breed The first one
he put in an by 16 foot stall, then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
him. He cut down his feed and let
SOW run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he had spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used a hurdle, on the ground that a
boar should never be i'll treated. Re-
suits were SO good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out first-class breeders after
