CARE OF BIRD HOUSES
From United States department of
 agriculture

II lIull6u OteLLGS uSpell .OA
 agricultural
 Each spring before birds re- turn from the south all filth and litter should be carefully re- moved from bird houses. In ad- dition to the relics of previous occupancy, houses are likely to contain cocoons of insects and nests of bees or squirrels. At tention to this one item of spring cleaning is a substantial factor in attaching birds permanently to their houses. A little sulphur scattered about a house is r. good remedy for parasites. When bluebirds or swallows take possession of a martin house it is a good plan to put up a one-room house in the vii cinity and remove the nest from the martin house. Interlopers thus evicted often transfer their housekeeping to the small house. Houses designed for wood peckers should always have an inch or so of sawdust in the bottom for the reception of eggs, as woodpeckers do not gather nest materials. Due attention should be given to repairs. It is easier to keep houses in good order than to build new ones.

 NO RENT TO PAY 1!

The bluebird is one of the earliest northern migrants and everywhere is hailed as a har- binger of spring.

WEATHER VANE HOUSE
 FOR FEEDING BIRDS

The vital factor in attracting birds is the food supply. This may be furnished either by provid- ing artificial food, such as crumbs, suet, chopped nuts, and the like, or by planting trees, shrubs and herbs which will produce fruits or seeds that the birds themselves may gather. Winter feeding is the most familiar phase of bird feeding, but there is no reason

RED CROSS WORK Is
WELL DONE BY ALL
MORE THAN NET DEMAND FOR
THIS NOBLE CAUSE IN LEMHI
WITH CASH STILL COMING IN

The receipts to yesterday morning,
as reported TO Treasurer Fraak
1avemann OF the drive in. Lemhi
county last week for the, Red Cross.
amounted to $3.16S.67 There are 9TH
er accounts to hear from, particular
ly that of Gilmore. where epcourag-
ing conditions would seem TO favor a
,arge contribution.
The charge against Lemhi county
for this fund was placed at $4,000. 1t
Is gratifying to know that we have
met this charge in a work that ap-
peals for the generous support of all
degrees of affluenca the poor as well
as the rich, 1t is known that the
contributions came from the people
generally and not in large contribu,
tions from the wealthy alone. There
ire hundreds of mites in the gifts re
corded. The givers are still in the
notion of making such sacrnces
when occasion demands it of them
hereafter. Hundreds stand ready tC
share their savings with thes Red
Cross at all times.
1t is known that in the state and
country the contributions have gone
far beyond the Immediate demands.

AFTER RETAINING THEIR WOOL
DISPOSED OF SHEEP AND
LANDS FOR Sfss,0oo.

For approximately 10000 head OF
and $3.50 lambs, tigether with l,40U
acres of land and its equipment for
the sheep business, Bond L. Bucnan-
non have sold out their Lemhi eoun-
~ interests to Guy III. Harvey for
sl95, 900. The heeces from the sneep
are retained and are valued at
s55, 600 so that the sale viii alto
gether net Bond & Buehannon q
quarter of a million The transac
tion was made for cash.
Two months go, when these flock
masters put their holdings on the
market, the price asked was 5000. 900,
including the nsaeres then on the
backs of the sheep. AS further show
ing the remarkable advance in the
values of this sort OF property, Ii
may be said that lands and sheep al.
together as sold by Bond * Buchan-
non cost them a few years ago less
than half of the selling price. And
vet the man OF affairs say they did
not get more than their property is
worth. IN the contrary Mr.. Harvey
thinks he has cleared $4,000 in the
deal. 1t is understood Harvey repre-
sents an association of capitalists in
the transaction, though he himself IL
large operator in livestock and
wool. He lives at Boise. 1t is under
stood there will be no change at all
in the management OF the property
by the new owner.
