It is midnight as this is written,
 The skies are overcast. yet it is Christmas morn and out of the tangled meshes of childhood's dreams are wrought fancies more wonderful than ever silver moonbeams sang or wrote, the cold and silent rays of distant stars upon the blackened pages of the night
 It is Christmas and the light song of d distant land of Gallilee makes all the world akin. And many eyes of little ones are closed and santa Claus. of fabled lore. travels upon the yhisperings of the wind to make women.
 Stockings are filled, bulging out with good things and with the first grey streaks of dawn the little ones with sun lit hair will crawl from uundle beds to catch the earthly offshoot of an airy dream.
 God bless the little golden heads! They lay down in their tiny cots last night but not to sleep, and waking visions wrought by the Whitest, sweet est and most loving lie that ever fell from the lips of cruel world held eyelids open wide and pink ears ready to catch the footfall of old kriss Kringle White-gowned they said their prayers at mothers qnee and tucked to bed lay their curly heaGs upon the pillow. half prom - ising to close their eyes in sleep. half rebellious at the gentle tyranny that wished them not to hear the unkle of the reindeers bell.

Killed In Auto Wreck

Mrs. Chris Schlee was instant
ly killed, her mother received a
broken leg, her husband had his
back badly injured, and her two
children and sister were severely
scratched and bruised as the re-
suit of an auto accident south of
Uniontown Sunday evening when
their car skidded off the grade
near the George Hall home and
turned over. The family were
returning to their home, with
Mrs. Schlee driving, when a puff
of dust blew into her face just as
the wheel struck a deep rut in
the road and the car. left the
grade. Mrs. Schlee had her
neck broken and her mother was
pinned beneath the car, which
had to be lifted before she could
be rescued. Mr.. Schlee was
riding on the running board
when the accident happened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schlee are we'll
known to the writer and have a
number of friends in this county,
all of whom extend sincere SYM
pathy to the sorrowing family in
their bereavement.

The Banner Yield

A. Hooker, who was in from
Big Bear ridge a few days ago,
reports that T. E. Whitcomb, a
neighbor of his, harvested crop
of wheat which averaged 81 bush
els to the acre, perhaps the larg-
est yield that has been recorded
in the state this year. To prove
that the yield was actually that
large Mr.. Whitcomb's neighbors
measured the field while the
grain was in the sack on the
ground and satisfied themselves
that he was absolutely correct in
his claims. Troy News.

Corn and Silo

Fred Nagel on Wednesday
morning purchased a Mccormick
corn binder from Meyer & Flom-
er, which he took to his ranch
for the purpose of harvesting for
silage purposes 80 acres of corn.
Mr.. Nagel has just completed the
erection of a 150-ton silo which
he expects to fill with ensilage
for winter feed. He says his
corn is as fine as he has ever
seen in this country, some OF the
stalks being nearly eight feet in
height. .-Genesee News.
And still there are people who
persist in claiming that corn can
not be grown successfully west
of the Rockies. But this does
not prevent others from growing

Another Forged Check

We are informed by W. J. Mar
tin, of the Harrisburg section,
that he discovered a forgery COM
mitted against him on July 10th.
A check dated thus was passed
at the saloon of R. A. Minis of
Cottonwood, the check having
been made out to E. L. King of
this place, and Mr.. Kings
name having of course, been
forged on the back of it. The
forger represented to Mr.. Minis
that he was Mr. King and showed
he was we'll acquainted with Mr..
Kings whereabouts. stating
that he was doing some painting
in the Winona section. The check
came in the local bank Sunday
and was at once recognized by
Mr.. Schulz as being a forgery.
Mr.. Martin has some clews as to
the forger and it seems very
likely that something definite
will be found out in a few days.
-Kamiah Progress.
Check forgeries seem to be
getting quite common in the
smaller towns about harvest time
each year and are apparently
practiced by certain transient
laborers who enter the harvest
fields for this purpose. One or
two convictions might discourage
the work but a better plan is to

new HEAD AT
ST. MICHAEL'S
Rev. Father Berthold Given a
Missouri Parish, Much to
the Regret of Citizens of
This County.

Rev. Father Philip arrived in
the city Wednesday evening
from Missouri and has succeeded
Rev. Father Berthold as Prior of
st. Michael's Monastery west of
town, the latter having left a
short time since to fill the pasto-
rate at Pilot Grove, Mo-, where
Father Philip was formerly sta
toned. Father Philip is said to
be a very capable man of excep-
tional business ability and will no
doubt soon make many friends
among the people of this town
and community.
Rev. Father Berthold, who was
transferred to Missouri, had
been stationed at this place for
some ten years and was loved
and esteemed by everyone, Cath
olic and Protestant alike. His
genial, kindly disposition and
perfect Christian spirit made him
friends by the hundreds wherev-
er he was known, and his remov-
al is considered the hardest blow
Cottonwood and the surrounding
community has suffered in years.
During his residence here the
present Catholic church and
school were erected and the Mon
atery property acquired and i'm
proved, and these improvements
are largely the result of the la
Dor of this good man in our
midst.
AS a citizen he ranked high
with the leading men of the
state, many of whom consider
his acquaintance as dear privi-
lege, and his loss is regretted ex-
tremely by all who know him.
That his present labors may
prove congenial and that he may
have occasion to return to Idaho
county at no distant date is the
sincere wish of the many friends
whom he left behind.

as the school board was of the
opinion that it would be better to
delay the opening until the 10th
because of the fact that Monday
was a holiday, Tuesday school
election day and all of next week
will be devoted to the county in
stitute at Grangeville. The time
lost this week will be made up at
the end of the term, and by de-
laying the opening some of the

gin school at the start instead of
coming in two or three weeks

The Brood Sow

The success of the prosperous
hog breeder is due to- the wise
selection of the brood sows as
well as the wise selection of the |
herd boar.
In general appearance, the
sow should be fairly low set,
good length, good constitution.
deep bodied, strong back and
symetrical throughout. She
should stand square on strong
feet and legs. Her head should
be refined, indicating quality
and present a feminine (breedy)
appearance. The shoulders
should be broad. deep, smooth on
top and well fleshed. The
back should be strong, slightly
arched and with we'll sprung
ribs. The loin should be wide,
thick and strong. The sides
should be long, deep and smooth,
free from wrinkles. The rump
should be broad and we'll carried
out, (not too dropping.) The
hams should be wide, deep,
and well filled down to the hooks.
The legs should be straight..sand
have quality and substance COM
bined.
Other things besides individ-
uality must be considered. One
of the most important characters
of the brood sow is fecundity,
that is, the bearing of large lit
ters. 1t costs just as much to
winter brood SOW that produces
three or four pigs in the spring
as it does to winter one that will
produce eight or nine. In select
ing the brood SOW it is well to
select those from large litters
and whose mothers and grand
mothers were from large litters.
After the first crop of pigs are
weaned, the poor mothers and
the sows that produced small,
runty litters should be culled out
and sent to the butcher.
Good sows improve for a num-
Der of years in the number and
size of pigs they produce to the
litter. At the Wisconsin expert
rient station yeasrrling sows aver
aged 7.8 pigs per litter with an
average weight of 14.2 pounds
per litter, while sows from four
to five years old averaged 9 pigs
per litter, with an average
weight of 26 pounds per litter.
The United States Department
of Agriculture compiled the rec
ords of over six thousand sows
and found that yearling sows av-
eraged 6.65 pigs per litter and
five year old sows averaged 8.4
pigs per litter.
The practice of some farmers
selling their old brood sows each
year and replacing them with
immature ones is a bad one, as
the older sows are better moth
ers and produce larger and
stronger litters,
