WHEN TO USE
THE DRAG

The following short article is taken
from the Star Mirror, of Moscow,
Idaho, and tells OF the benefits de-
rived by that section thru the use OF
the road drag. 1t has some good sug-
gestions which may interest Lemhi
rauchers, hence we publish it;
Roads in the neighborhood of Mos
COW are better this spring than they
have ever been before at this time Of
year. While the condition is partly
due to the exceptionally fine spriug
we have had, no little credit is due
to the road drag which is being more
and more generally used. Whether
the users OF road drags have followed
the best practice or not. every road
on which the drag has been used at
all shows its good effects, but there is
still room for improvement.
~ may venture to assert, says
enc of our correspondents, THAT
every farmer In Latah county kuows
that if he works his fields when the
ground is wet the soil will bake.
Knowing that We niight expect that
our road overseers would have the
ROADS dragged when hey are wet and
will bake hard, and when the ranch
ers cannot work in their fields
Dragging the roads after they are
dry is poor method. The ground
being hard, little .can be accom-.
plished beyond knocking of the big
ger bumps, and instead OF having a
smooth surface that will harden and
shed the next rain, We have soft
porous that vii be ground up int
dust quickly IN dry weather and will
absorb water readily and make very
muddy roads after the next rain.
Tue drag must be used while ths
roads are Still wet to get the bsst re
suits.

rams sire excellent mutton lambs, and
these breeds are recommended for
the farm states. A suitable ram can
be bought for IS to $50.
The two principal draw backs TO
the sheep industry in the farm states
are dogs and stomach worms. The
dog nuisance can be obyiated 20 q
great extent by placing og.proof
fences around the pastures. The
United States Forest Service has had
excellent results in protecting sheep
from coyotes and wolves by building
fences constructed in the following
manner: A barbed wire Is first
stapled to the posts right on the sur.
face of the ground. Three inches
above this is placed panel Of close
woven wire, &c inches high, and
above this two strands OF ordinary
barbed wire. Care should be taken
to see that there are no openings be-
tween the ground and the lowest
arbed wire An Enclosure made in
tnis manner, into which sheep may
be turned at night, is inexpensive,
and dogs will not get through 1t.
Most or the damage by dogs is done
at night.
The presence of stomach worms is
a very serious draw back. The young
lambs become infested with them by
eating grass to which the worms
have attached themselves, the eggs
being deposited by the mature sheep.
1t Is therefore desirable to keep the
lambs on land on which the mature
sheep have not run, ard If possible,
in cases OF bad infestations, TO keep
the lambs away from the mature
sheep as much as possible.
In the farm states the farmers will
find it to their best advantage to re-
gard the wool from the sheep as a
by-prodCct, and direct their principal
attention to the production Of lambs
and mutton for the table.

PRESIDENT LINcOLNS ONLY 7
SON ADMITS SLAVERY

OhouhOCy AACOps u uoISC 1O1 IuS
Marshall Field estate, and Robert T.
Lincoln, son of the civil war presi-
dent, are Chicago men who have
played the game of life and money,
mainly on a Chicago chess board. =
The two are directors of the Pull
man Co. They have become million
aires through earnings of those COM
panies. What high, stiff wall there
is between them and the workmen
of the Pullman Co. is shown in this
from the official report of Lincoln as
a witness. before the industrial COM
mission at Washington:
Chairman Walsh-Does it require
action by the board of directors to
fix a new wage schedule for en-
ployes?
Lincoln-I think it would.
Walsh-Woald you, have any OBJ
lection as a director of this company
to have a committee selected by your
work men meet with your executive |
committee of the, board of. directors,
the workmen to present their views
as to what their wages should. be and
the faets-uPen which you might base
an increase of Wages?- !.
-Lincoln|I don't see-why, 1 have |
no objection to it. It's rather an awk-
ward way Of doing it. Still 1 sup
pose it can be done. -
Walsh-What would you suggest /
as being the least awkward way of
getting the Workmen before you?
Lincoln-To have any committee
they wish meet one or more of the
officials of the company and let them
make memorandum and present it
to the executive committee. It's pref !
ty hard to get the board of directors
together for such meeting.
Walsh = Why, don't they like to
meet for that purpose?
lincoln don't mean to say that,
but. know would find it very hard
to get a meeting of the board of d.

figured up what would be the differ
ence in the amount of money that it
takes to pay $500 porters $50 a
month, which is above your present
rate and $50 a month, which is nearer
living wage?
Lincoln-That is a matter of pa
per and pencil.
@Garetson- $500 men it would
be $2,34O,OOO?
: Lincoln Something like that.
Garretson- it not possible that
this situation in which you control
the lives OF. men through their jobs
and wages had it's foundation in a
condition that existed before the SOS,
when certain railroad companies
when certain railroad companies
owned the brakemen, mean in fee.
The railroads had bills of sale for
their brakemen. l know two rail-
roads that did that
Lincoln-I see Qaughs). -.
Garretson- is something Of
a parallel, only the employer (the
Pullman CO.. is less responsible than
the oldtime slave owner. L..
Witness laughs.
Com. O'Connen = You recognize
there is such a thing as Industrial
unrest?
Lincoln There is undoubtedly I'M
rest. So far as it. comes to me, it is
the enlDIOVes want more nav and
don't blame them for wanting more
compensation.
O'Connell-When a large employer
fixes wages and hours for working
people without them having anything
to say in it, would you say that is one
cause of unrest?
Lincoln : have never heard it
given as one. is all can say. 1 have
never studied it.
