KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS

Mr.. Farmer do you know that you
transact lot of business in year
and that you do not have any particu-
lar place to preserve the receipts that
you get when you pay your bills ?
Do you know that you are in this
respect about the least orderly and
systematic of anybody? Well, you
are, and that is why we are scolding
you about it You will be paying
bills now for several weeks, and in
six months from now you will not
know where hardly any of these
valuable little slips are. II you want
to refer to them you will look in
the sewing machine drawers, the
bureau drawers, the clock, several
books, will ask your wife where you
put them and she will look in a
number of places and then you will
both be worried for a while, and
maybe pay that bill the second time
and keep on worrying. Worry, you
know is what kills the cat, and it
is generally avoidable.
When you go to town walk into
book store or a drug store and tell
them you want to get letter file.
The clerk will hand down something
that looks like a book and opens
like a book but it is little thin
wooden box about IA inches square
and 3 inches thick with &c thin parti-
lions or leaves in it and each leaf
bears a letter of the alphabet. 1t
will cost from SO cents to- dollar,
according to quality, and when you
get home put all your receipts into
the division marked "R." Put all
YOUR bills into the "B" division, and
the letters you want to preserve into
divisions lettered according to the
firm name. Letters from the Rowles-
Mack company in "R"; letters from
Boyle & company and the Brown
Hart company in "B"; those from
the Potato Growers association IN
"P." and so on.
On the first of January take all
your receipts for the year and place
them in an envelope and label 1t,
Receipts for 1916" and put 1t back
in the "R" division, and go on plac-
inc the 1917 receipts in the same
place, but not in the envelope. When
the file gets full of letters and papers,
buy a new file and set the old one
aside for reference. In the course OF
the year you will save several dol
lars worth of time by being always
able to put your finger on any paper
YOU want without loss of time, and
YOU will not be paying any of your
bills the second time or guessing at
what YOU are doing. When you re-
ceiye a bill that you are not ready
to pay, file it till you are ready, and
then attach a check to it and send
or take it to the dealer, and he Will
receipt it and return it to you. Then
file it either among the bills or
among the receipts as you may
choose.

Editor The Idaho Republican:

Editor The Idaho Republican:
l will attempt to tell about our
garden, which a few years ago was
a barren waste of river-washed sand
and rocks. An old gentleman who
lives with us attends to the garden
and his methods are worth initiating.
He thoroly worked the rocks out Of
the soil to depth of about one and
half feet. Then he began hauling
leaf mold from the pasture and good
stable manure from ~the barn to mix
with the sand. He planted the gard
en- stuff in rotation, according to the
value of each plant as soil builder.
He raised enough garden vegetables
to supply the family, and also raised
a bountiful crop of strawberries.
Each year he has done the same,
adding strawberry vines each year
until this year the fourth of an acre,
in it's fifth season, produced $50
worth of Strawberries, peas, carrots,
radishes, onions, turnips, lettuce,
beans, cucumbers, beets, tomatoes,
potatoes, summer and winter squash,
which kept us well fed all summer.
Of course, these were raised in ro-
tation, each variety following some
other in a certain plot. Also on this
little piece of ground there are cur
rants, gooseberries, raspberries and
blackberries.
MRS. ISAAC e. HALL,
Lorenzo, Idaho.

DOGS MAKING TROUBLE

A great many farmers who have
bought sheep to clean up their fields
are having trouble with the dogs of
the neighborhood. They get among
the sheep in the night and kill or
wound them, and many that were
resting with full food supply have
been chased and heated till they die
or suffer severely from disorders due
to running with full stomachs.
People are requested to look after
their dogs and do whatever seems
necessary to prevent these losses.
Dogs can be tied up, muzzled or kill
ed, according to circumstances or
value or lack of value of the dog.
OF course, nobody wants to kill their
dog, but nobody can afford to have
neighborhood row either.

the farm clean and free from weeds.
Mr.. Clark has a fine brick house with
piece of beautiful statuary in the
front window. He has good water
system and has the engine and pres
sure tank in a cellar some distance
from all the odors from the gaso-
line and oil, and avoids the disagree
able affects incident to having the
machinery in the basement of the
house. Mr.. Clark keeps his brood
sows in the pasture with their filters
during the summer and he feeds them
some grain. His hogs are all healthy
and very thrifty. His pastures are
in orchard grass, alsyke and alfalfa.
He prefers orchard grass to timothy
mixed with. alfalfa for hay

orchard grass and only one of tim

A. F. Anderson has 20 acres of po-
atoes that promise an unusually good
crop.

TOO MUCH MONEY

William Gray came in from Nc
Donaldville last week and brought
two potatoes that were too large.
They were of the Fearless variety
and weighed about 80 ounces each.
the eyes were large and the "eye
brows" prominent. He said he raised
six acres of them and they yielded
200 sacks per acre, or about $3.50.
Mr.. Gray said it was too much
money but he had to take 1t. He
needed it in his business and wished
of course, that he had his whole
farm in the same crop.

among the possibilities of the near

President Wilson has given careful
attention to the evidence in the cases
OF several of the vessels recently at
tacked, but has given no indication of
what his decision will be. II was
stated positively today that no course
had been decided upon. but beyond
this and a reitcration that the Amer
lcan government had not in any way
altered its stand upon the submarine
question, officials declined to make
any comment.
The cases in the forefront for con-
sldcration are those of the British
ste& mcrs Arabia and Marina, both of
which Germany contends were be-
lleNed to be transports in the naval
service of the allies, During the day
official information reached the state
department establishing that The Ma
rina. on which six Americans We're
lost, was in no sense transport. and
an inquiry was addressed to Great
Britain for information as to the ac-
tual status OF the Arabia.
While admipistration officials re-

affairs in Teutonic diplomatic circles

that Germany already has offered to
