STATE DAIRYMEN AND STATE
SWINE RAISERS TO MEEI

At the time the Idaho State Dairy
mems association and the Idaho Swine
Breeders association met in Boise
last winter, no place was selected for
the next meeting, that matter being
left to the executive committee to de-
eide, says the Bull Pioneer.
Word has just been received by Sec
rotary Bradley of the Bull CONNER
cal club, who was present and who
made an effort to bring the next con-
ventions to Bull, that the committees
for both conventions had selected
Bull. This should be received by the
many dairymen and stockmen here
with enthusiasm, as it means that the
leaders in all lines of the stock in
dustry will be here next winter to dis
cuss live problems pertaining to that
industry. The fact that Bull held one
of the largest and best farmers insti-
tutes held in the state no doubt hat
much to do with the decision of the
executive committees of the two or
CARNATIONS.
1t has been suggested that a mid
winter stock show be held here a
the time of the conventions, and it i!
probable that the farmers institute
Will be held at the same time.

greatest results. He closed by again
advising the raising of the sugar beet
and the spud in rotating crops in
southern Idaho, and insisted that, con-
sidering its uses, the potato as grown
on the Twin Falls tract would prove
more profitable than any of the ordi-
nary agricultural products. The abb
sence of the diseases referred to above
is especially worthy of attention, he
declared Rye has proven to be the
greatest European rotation crop, not
by reason of any positive quality that
it has for the enrichment of soil, but
because of the inability of deleterious
archaeological growths to feed upon
it. Hence they die for want of nutri-
ton and the soil is left free from them
The only problem here is to keep them
out, and this, with available knowl-
edge, will be no great task, if such
knowledge is applied.

MILWAUKEE ROAD MAY TAP
TIMBER On CLEARWATER

OROFINO, Ida-The announcement
made by A. J. Earring, president of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
railway, when he was in Spokane two
weeks ago that his company would
extend its line 25 miles south from
Elk river this season has Just brought
to light that it is more than probable
the line will be built in a southerly d.
rection until intersecting the north
fork of the Clearwater river, then fol-
low that stream to Ahsahka, where it
will intersect the Clearwater short
line of the Northern Pacific.
The Milwaukee has a survep down
the north fork. which is a feasible
road along a water grade, and taps a
fine body of white pine timber. The
Clearwater Timber company has vast
holdings in this region and well
founded rumor is that this company is
exerting its powerful influence to get
the Milwaukee to adopt the north fork
route to Ahsahka for its proposed ex-
tension.

KINDNESS.

Dark is the day and the wind
blows cauld," quotes an exchange,
but who cares if the heart is warm
and the light of life shines in the
soul?
Selfshness is a trait OF even the
best amongst the sons Of men. In
some persons selfishness blossoms
forth in all it's manifold repulsive-
ness, and it marks it's possessor as
one to be carefully stunned. Even
in souls otherwise nobly endowed,
selfishness usually finds lodgment.
It shows itself by a lack of suffi-
cient appreciation Of the good
qualities in others; by want of
tact in dealing with the less for
tunate; by a callousness in failing
to recognize the wounds that trou-
bic SO many among ones friends
and intimates. Kindness is a quail
ity, nay, virtue, that should dis
tinguish every person who lays
the least claim to manhood OF to
womanhood. It is not sufficient
to sympathize with the open suf-
fering: it is necessary that kind
ness seek out the hidden recesses
of the heart, and there place the
balm of its soothing influence.
Many a heart that wears the
wreath of gladness is inwardly
pining for the healing tenderness
of a kind word. Especially
should kindness distinguish those
upon whose shoulders the mantle
of any kind of authority rests, for
authority confers not only rights
but corresponding obligations.
Not the least Of these obligations
is the duty of infusing spirit Of
kindness III those whom authority
holds firm. Many persons are so
ir'remediab1y coneelted over the.
'tinsel glitter of the brief authority
with which they are clothed, that
those about them suffer untold
torrents in endeaYoring to fulfill
their duty towards authority it.
self, despite the unpleasant form
in which it appears. 70 every one
may be applied the words Of the
late Eben Rexford:
Many heart ishungry, starv-
ing
For little word Of love.
Speak it then and as the sunshine
Gilds the lofty peaks above,
So the joy of those who hear it
Sends a radiance down life s
way;
And the world is brighter, better,
For the loving words we say"
