Box Car Thief
Is Apprehended
GOODS TAKEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO
Part of GOOGS Recovered. Prisoner COnfVSSOS
Taken TO ShOShOne County for Trial

Policeman j. X. Booth arrest
ed two Greeks Thursday morning
as they got off Train No. Is on
suspicion that they had robbed
some box cars on the Milwaukee
while in transit. The men had
been working on the section at
st. Joe and were on thir way to
Elk River. The police had been
notified to be on the lookout for
them and were on hand to ar
rest them when they arrived.
The men had considerable lug
gage, one trunk, two large bun
dies and a suit case. These
were searched by the officers who
found two pieces of extra fine
felt, each 60 inches wide and u
inches long, one piece being an
inch thick ad the other q of an
inch thick. Some time ago T. p.
Lally, detective for the Milwau-
kee railroad, had asked Chief of
Police Steele to be on the look
cut for some felt which had been
stolen from a box car between st.
Joe and Avery.
When questioned as to where
they obtained this felt, one of the
Greeks said that a brakeman took
it out of box car between st. Joe
and Avery and gave it to him. He
told several stories, contradict
ing himself in regard to the cir
cumstances. The officers also
found in their luggage some
blankets, sheets and pillow cases
bearing the mark of the st. Pat
rick hospital at Missoula. When
questioned in regard to these ar
ticles one of the Greeks said he
had worked in the hospital and
the articles had been given him
by the sisters.
The oflicres concluded to hold
the men on suspicion and notified
Detective Lally Of the arrest. He
was at Avery and sent word yes
terday asking that the suspects
be held until his arrival.
Detective Lally arrived Thurs
day afternoon and identified Tho
felt and some Of the other ar
ticles as being taken from The
Milwaukee box car and upon be-
ing confronted with the detective
one of the men, George Vetters
confessed to having taken them.
The other prisoner is a younl
fellow, Vetter's cousin, and afte
a rigid examination the detectiv
became convinced he had nothing
to do with the robbery. He wa
released and will return to st. JO
to work on the section.
AS the robbery was committe
in Shoshone county Deputy Sher
iif Arthur OlesOn of Marble Cree
was notified and he started fo
Wallace this morning with hi
prisoner.

BIG APPROPRIATION FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS

Just about a round half million
dollars will be the extent of the
appropriation that will be made
by the legislature-elect Of this
state when it gets through with
road legislation. Idaho, say men
of influence elected to both
houses of that body, is not going
to be miserly when it comes to
setting aside funds for the build
ing of better highways.
The incentive behind this lib
erality is due largely to an hon
est desire to improve the roads OF
the state and also to get a libeYa
share of the federal appropl4
tion which will become avail Il
in 1857. ,orl
It is conceded by meINpS Eel
ect that a new era of roa lcon-
struction is in sight for~&daho
which will ultimately mean the
connecting of a system of high
ways leading to and from the
trade centers to the mining dis
tricts, the great national forests
and the spots of scenic beauty.

Xmas Candle and Lamps

Candles for the lunch or dinner ta-
BILE, candles for the living room and
candles for the dressing table are
among the gifts that delight everybody.
Among them are classed small electric
lamps (often made to simulate the old
fashioned candle) which are used us a
substitute for candles. Glass candle
sticks prove easiest to keep clean and
shining and are therefore the best
choice for the dining room and the
dressing room. Brass or glded candle
sticks, or those of mahogany, are liked
for living rooms or the library.
1t is the gay little shade that makes
candlelight so fascinating. This year
there are the usual silk shades in rose.
or other colors, with gold lace and the
tinlest silk flowers festOoned on them,
and shades of many other things. There
are some wonderfully pretty shades
made Of paper and they include some
novelties made of stiff paper as well as
the popular and familiar crepe paper
kinds.
A bedroom candle, all ready to cast
its soft glow on the dressing table. Is

Is made of thin, white cardboard or
even thinner paper, with strips OF
black pasted on it. A cluster of three
small roses and fine foliage, made of
colOred sealing wax decorates the shade
in two places. The candlestick Is of
glass and the shade holder slips over
the top of the candle supporting a
mica protector for the paper shade as
well as the shade.
At the right pretty little lamp is
made for the same purpose as the can
die. 1t is all of paper rope and wire.
The stand and shade are white and
both have small bluebirds of happiness
(made of sealing wax) pictured in
flight across them. An unwOven
space is left in the shade for blue
satin ribbon, which is strung through
1t and tied in bow. The lamp is fit
ted with small electric bulb at the
top.
Lamps made in the same way for
the living room are of brown or green
paper rope with any color in the rib
bon, and decorations that may be flow
ers or birds or figures. A chain at
tached to the lamp turns the light on

produced on hard, depleted soil. Some
growers from force of habit, perhaps,
every spring plant corn on land which
they know is too poor to produce a
profitable crop. While this practice
continues the soil as well as the farm
er will remain poor. The plowing and
cultivating of poor soil is as expensive
as the blowing and cultivating Of fer
tile soil. The man who cultivates
poor soil and harvests poor crops can
not proftably compete with his neigh
Dor who grows good crops with but
little, If any, greater expenditure of
labor or capital. Corn growing should
not be attempted on poor land. Such
land should first be brought into fer
tile condition by the growing and plow-
ing under of leguminous crops, the ap-
plication of manures, etc. In the mean
time some crops that require less fer
tility than corn may be grown. 1t
should be remembered that the nature
of the corn plant is such that it will
not produce grain unless the soil is

growth of stalk, and that, in general,
the richer the soil the heavier will be
the yield of grain. Other plants will
often produce fair crops on soil too
poor to produce corn.
Best Soil for Corn.
Since the nature of the season can
not be foretold it is impossible to pre-
dict whether high land or low land will
produce better, but as corn makes a
tall, vigorous growth, requiring much
moisture, low land, usually being bet
ger supplied with both moisture and
fertility, is likely, if well drained, to
produce better than high land. In
many corlfields throughout the coun-
try may be seen portions or spots on
which it is impossible for corn to
thrive. These may be clayey spots or
Bwampy or undrained areas, or ground
adjacent to timber. 1t is too great a

TAKE HEAVY LAYER
FOR BREEDING pen
Method of Selection Is Being
Used With Success by Many
Practical Breeders.

Yearling hens of the yellow legged
breeds that began to lay early in the
spring will have pale legs in the fall.
The heavier the layer, the whittier the
shanks. This method of selecting the
heavy layer for breeding stock, while
comparatively new, is being used with
success by many practical poultrymen.
According to Prof. 3. P. Clayton of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college, the young hens that have
deep yellow legs will bring the best
returns if sold for table use in the fall.
The Importance of culling out these
boarder hens is readily seen in trap
nest records. Eight months of such
records kept for 20 hens by one poul-
tryman in Mississippi showed some of
the hens to be rapidly approaching the
200-egg mark, while other equally
Npromising-looking hens at the start
have laid from A to 16 eggs each.
Two of the hens have not laid an egg
in the entire time. AS nearly all mer-
chants and chicken dealers now buy
by weight, the most profits is in fat
chickens. Marketable chickens usual
ly fatten rapidly If penned up and fed
mash of three parts cornmeal and
two parts wheat bran, mixed up with
buttermilk.

IMPLEMENTS FOR MAINTAINING SOIL MULCH.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The yield of corn in the United
States as a whole has never exceeded
% bushels per acre for any ten-year
period. In no states has it averaged
more than 81 bushels per acre for even
q single year. In practically every sec
tion of the country, however, yields of
more than 300 bushels per acre have
that throughout the country more lan1
is being used and more labor is being
expended in producing the corn crop
than is necessary. The average an
nual crop grown to meet demands dur
ing the years just prior to 1910 aver
aged in round numbers 2,500,000,0o0
bushels. To produce this, with the
prevailing low yields, more than 95,-
100000 acres of land were required.
Poor corn crops are usually attrib-
uted to unfavorable weather conditions
and frequently this is the true cause,
for there are but few summers during
which this crop does not suffer more
or less at some stage in it's growth.
The most that can be done regarding
the weather is to take the best possi-
BILE advantage of the conditions as they
exist. But there are other conditions
that are responsible for low production
conditions that are directly under
the control of the farmer-and these
make possible the doubling of the av-
erage yield per acre within few
years.
Soil Requirements.
The soil should be fertile, well
drained, and loose to considerable
depth. A good corn crop cannot be

No one ever heard of Christmas

ways-needed pins. Very elaborate and
pretentiOus ones, of embroidered net
and lace and all sorts of rich ribbons,
are made to grace the dressing tables
of the ladies, but here are two meant

number of small cushions made to hing
or stand within easy reach near the
mirror that reflects an almost pinless
toilet. And they are mere pleasantries
in pincushlons, which will be looked at
if not used, and therefore their clever
ness commends them.

Lime TO INCREASE
QUANTITY OF WHEAT
BY Use Of ingredient 21 to 26
Per Cent More Secured
at the Chic Station.

"Neither manure nor any combina-
tion of fertilizers has been able to
produce full yield of wheat without
the help of lime," said Director G. e.
Thorne regarding the value of lime
on soil similar to that Of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station at Wooster. This
year manured land yielded 81 to 20
per cent more wheat where lime was
applied.
Another plot fertllized with nitrate
of soda, acid phosphate and muriate
of potash gave 21 per cent more wheat
where lined than on unlined soil SIM
ilarly fertilized.
The yield on a plot receiving COM
plete fertilizer with nitrogen in ful-
phate of ammonia gave 115 per cent
increase In crop by application Of
lime.

waste of labor to plow, harrow, and
cultivate such unproductive spots.
They should be improved so that they
will yield profit, or they should not
be planted at all. The poor clay spots
should be enriched, the swamp places
drained or filled, and the corn should
be planted farther from the timber,
with strip of timber grass next to
the trees.
Way of SubsolIing.
Alfalfa, clover, and similar plants
send their roots to great depths and
are the best crops to turn under for
the purpose of growing a very large
corn crop. Their culture is the best
and most economical way of subsolling
as well as enriching land. The deep
growing roots loosen the subsoil and
keep it porous long after the crop is
turned under, and the nitrogen fixed in
the soil by the growth Of the plants
greatly enr' cles the soil. Without suf-
icient rainfall, however, poor corn
crops are sometimes obtained on alfal-
ia sod, the soil moisture having been
exhausted to great depth by the
roots Of the alfalfa.
Under no circumstances should corn
be grown continuously OF the same
soil. Some very rich alluvial soils
have produced very good crops for
many years in succession, but better
crops would have resulted If a rota-
tion of crops had been practiced. On
fertile farms where it is necessary to
make corn the principal crop it might
be considered good farm practice to
plant corn two years in succession on
the same field, but not longer. When
corn is grown continuously on a field
for several years the vegetable matter
of the soil becomes depleted and the
soil becomes compact, difficult to work,
and poor home for corn plants. When
legume crops like alfalfa are grown
between the crops of corn the soil con-
tinues to remain loose and friable and
well supplied with vegetable decay and
nitrogen.
