Cleaning Steve Piees

There are several ways BY which
chimneys NAV be cleaned Perhaps
the most common way is to fasten a
brick to rope and then pass 1t up
and down the chimney, afterwards
the SCOT at the stove pipe
hole.
When stove pipes becomes foul with
SCOT. instead of taking them down
and cleaning them that way. often
times they are cleaned by burning
some material that will cause the SCOT
to be consumed. The SCOT ;s usually
unconsumed fuel in u very finely
divided state. The mSterial burned
to consume this SCOT uuites with it
forming a more easily combustiblc
mixture than the SCOT is by itself.
Scraps of zinc on hot Goals will be
found to be excellent to remove the
SCOT. 1t will likewise, serve to clean
chimnCys. ii the latter are not too
large. There are on the market
several preparations fo- ,his purpose
They usually come put up in round
paper cans. In some of these zinc
is the basis of the preparation. Ii is
not necessary 20 hunt fer .hecc spcci-

The passenger locomotives on the
new electricifed line are geared to
haul 800 tons at 60 miles an hour,
while the freight locomotives will
haul $500 tons on a one per cent
grade at a speed Of &c miles per
hour. When two locomotives are
used to haul train, about the same
speeds can be maintained on a two
per cent grade.
Owing to the greater speed Of the
electric locomotives over the huge
Mallet steam engines which they are
replacing, 1t is believed by the rail
road company that the same results
Will be achieved as though the line
had been double tracked over the

Scarcity of Hay.

Burley Belletin: The price OF hay
on the Minidoka project is still climb
ing. At the beginning of the summer
much hay was contracted for $3.50
per ton delivered in Burley. After
the hail storm In June the price be-
gan to rise, and has kept going up
until It has now reached $500 in
the stack, and there is little or no
hay to be had at that.
Cattle and sheep men who have
visited the project during the past
week in search of hay for winter
feeding have been forced to look
elsewhere as they were unable to
secure a sufficient quantity In any
one place to justify them in bring
ing their stock. The same condition
prevails all over southern Idaho, and
indications are that there is scar
city of hay throughout the inter
mountain country.

ADVOCATES SHEEP.
Leading Sheepman Points Out Large
Profits to Be Made.

Bull, Idaho.-That every man on
the Twin Falls tract should have
three ewes for every acre that he has
under cultivation, that this would re-
suit In making enormous profits in
spring lambs and that it would re-
vive the sheep industry Of Idaho. now
declining because OF the fact or the
absence OF spring lambs from the
ranges, is the story told last week to
Pioneer reporter by leading
sheepman OF the tract
There are 100000 acres In the
tract" he said, land every acre
could support If devoted to that
purpose. but this would neither be
wise nor necessary. Suppose that
part of the farm were devoted to the
raising OF red clover, enough to have
three ewes on every acre. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the second crop
of clover is the one on which seed is
raised The first crop could be used
for pasture and with spring lambs at
present prices would give a profit of
from s25 to $50 an acre. This is
three times as much as the first crop
Yields on the average. Then, when
the spring lambs had been sold about
June 20, the ewes could be pastured
for the rest Of the season on one
fourth the ground on which the en-
tire flock had been pastured, and the
rest OF the ground could be devoted
to seed raising.
Much of the feed for the ewes
could be obtained by allowing them
= TO clean up the refuse around the
, bitches and in the corners of the
b field
. Many weeds that would otherwise
; go to seed could be cleaned up in this
| way. Besides this a great deal o.
