MINING LUCK MADE SPOKANE
Statement That Washinaton's Inland
City Happened" by Stroke
Of Chance.

at was an accident that the city
Of Spokane, Wash, became a great
center of population and industry
an accident due to mining" recently
remarked Henry Hapgood, a mer-
chant Of that thriving coast state, the
Washington Post remarks. "When
The Northern Pacific railway reached
through to the coast, back in 1888.
Spokane was a struggling village of
Z few hundred people, who had seri-
GUS doubts whether Sprague or Cho-
ney Spokane Falls would eventually
be the center Of commerce for that
section. Then Old Man Prilchard
made a strike, discovering placer
gold up near Murray in the Occur
d'Alene. The East was just ripe for
a mining boom and the Northern Pa
cifc was ready to assist any such en-
terprise. There was a rush to Thomp-
son falls over the mountain to Muir
ray, and that country saw the first
real activity in its history.
"The trail over Thompson pass
was a bad one, and there was need of
a nearer supply point. Spokane
seized the opportunity by going after
the trade by way of Occur d'Alene
lake. That move centered the COM
mercial activities of the inland en-
pire in Spokane"

QUAIL PROTECTION.

Notwithstanding the agitation il
favor of protecting quail for several
years in some sections, no bills OF
this kind were passed this year, and
80 states still provide quail shooting.
The seasons were shortened six weeks
in Oklahoma and two weeks in Ne
yada. Limits were established for
the first time in Arkansas and New
Hampshire, reduced in Iowa from 25
to Is per day, in Oklahoma from 25
to 10, in Minnesota from Is to 10,
and increased in Nevada from IS to
20. All but II of the states which
permit quail hunting now have a
limit of 20 birds or less per day.

VALUE OF STRAW FOR STOCK
Comfortable Stable and Good Bed IL
as Necessary for Animals as II
Is for Human Beings.

All stock should be given a thick
bed of straw, leaves or sawdust. A
comfortable stable and a good bed is
as necessary for animals as It is for
human beings II straw is wanted for
feed, forest leaves may be used in
stead.
Leaves contain a large percentage
of ash. and though not so valuable
as straw for filters, are very good
Sawdust makes an excellent litter for
all stock. II not only adds bulk,
which is of value, as thus the manure
is divided, and is more easily and
evenly distributed, but II decays both
in the heap and in the soil. thus af-
fording organic matter and ash to the
plant. while it retains all the valua-
BILE qualities Of the manure.
Sawdust absorbs the urine, and
whom this saturated sawdust is
thrown out into a pile in the yard,
1t will soon ferment, and II the ma
nure is not kept moist and we'll plas-
tered much of the ammonia in the
manure will evaporate into the air
The better plan is to mix the horse
manure with the COW manure. using
plenty of plaster and woods earth.
A layer of each kind of manure mixed
with a few shovels of woods earth
will add vegetable matter and pre-
vent the loss of the urine, which is
the most valuable portion of the ma
nure.
Straw is worth fully $3.50 per ton
for bedding alone, and If dry and of
good quality, worth twice this for feed.
In cold, frosty weather plenty of bed
ding is a great comfort to a work
horse, and, in fact, to any animal.
Bed the sheep pens with little straw
once a day. Most of the straw will
be eaten if of good quality.

POLE FILLED WITH NUTS.

When telephone linemen pulled
down a pole in this town recently
they discovered near the top a small
hole, obviously that of a woodpecker.
But upon further examination il was
found that the pole was hollow some
distance from the opening, and when
they started to move it they heard a
strange rafting inside. The hollow
space was almost filled with hickory
nuts, probably the winter store of a
family of squirrels. There were six
gallons of the nuts.-From North

GROWING suoAR-BIET SEED


The greater part OF the sugar-beet
seed sown each year in the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe, principally from Ger
many and Russia. The outbreak OF
the present war has cut Off this sup
ply and now the problem is to find
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing Of beet seed has been neg
lected in this country due to a do
creasing sugar content in beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity Of the hand labor necessary
in harvesting the crop. But now IT is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed.
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown Of
the beet being just level with the sur
face of the ground.
First large thick cluster of leaves
grows up to about IS inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear.
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major
ity have several, four to ten, of the
tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
similar to corn until about the first
of July when the seed stalks get so
tall. in some cases reaching up FIVE
and six feet, and bending over pre-
vent cultivation. When viewed near
by a field of these plants does not
present very progressing appear
ance, the tall, struggling seed stalks
greatly resembling large plants OF
the narrowleaved or curly dock.

TO APPLY ANIMAL MANUREs
Fertilizer Should BE Spread on Top Of
PIowed Ground and Then Well
Narrowed Under.

Manure for spring crop should be
well rotted and fine II should be
spread on top Of the plowed ground
and we'll narrowed in. Harrow the
field three times across the burrows.
the full length Of the field, and then
diagonally.
A thorough mixing of the manure
with the soil acts quickly. and less
manure will be needed. Long, coarse
manure should be spread over the
sod and plowed under. The proper
time to spread fresh manure and long
stalk and straw manure is during the
winter and early in spring.
When coarse manure is plowed I'M
der late in the spring it viii take some
time to rot. and is sure to make the soil
too loose, allowing the free entrance
of air and the loss of great amount
of moisture. which is needed by the
corn. II this coarse manure is plowed
under, roll the ground; IL it is dry as
soon as plowed, then harrow and roll
to compact the ground, and Just be-
fore it is time to plant harrow the
field both ways with the spring tooth
harrow, followed with the smoothing
harrow. BY this method the coarse
stalks and straw will rot by June, and
will be in condition to be taken up by
corn roots in midsummer Put the
corn in with $50 pounds of some good
bone fertilizer to the acre to promote
quick, vigorous growth.

WAR RAISED PRICES.
