Prevent Smut Explosion

Separator fires or smut explosions
have been very frequent in the
northwest of recent years. The
damage to machines has been un-
usually serious and the loss of grain
frequent. This year of all years
these fires should be prevented or
extinguished before damage is done.
The Office of Rural Engineering
and Roads has found much evidence
showing that these fires are caused
by electric sparks from moving
parts of the separators. belts, etc.
They accordingly have scheme for
so grounding the separator as to
prevent these sparks. Plans for
this wiring can be secured from the
above office.
But should the fires not be pre-
vented, they can be extinguished so
quickly as not to scorch the separa-
tor and even put out the fire in
straw piles frequently. The above
Office has plans for such an auto
matte device, using soda, acid and
water, as do the common tip-over
and spray fire extinguishers.
Many practical threshers object
to the outfit because of the frailty
of the automatic feature and the
use of special tank for solutions.
One thresher builder has, to the
authors knowledge, utilized stove
range boilers for tanks and substi-
tuted a hand operated trip for the
automatic trip. He equipped sew
eral machines last year and reports
that all fires were extinguished be-
, fore damage was done tho believe
one machine experienced as many
; as three fires.
When it is probably possible to
. prevent these fires, and if not pre-
ventable can be extinguished with
, out loss, no thresher, for his own
profit or the safety of his customers
grain, can reasonably fail to install
these devices. The expense for the
extinguisher is only about fifty
dollars, while the cost of the
grounding for protection is trifiine
in amount.

Auto Wreck on Grade

John Phillips of Southwick had a
bad wreck with his car above the
watering trough on Wauncher grade
while going up the grade. In
some manner the car got started
down the grade and backed over the
edge, where it rolled to the bottom
of fifty foot incline. Three
wheels were smashed. the top com.
pletely wrecked as well as the vino
shield and tenders. The rims anG
tires and body of the car were no,
damaged much. Probably $15(
will put it in first class shape again
1t was a new car, having only beer
run about a month. Mr.. Phillip.
escaped without injury.

Elevator Work Progressing

The concrete work on the Kend-
rick Rochdale elevator was finished
yesterday. The spouting is now to
be installed and the cupola built
when the elevator will be complete.
Last year it took almost as long to
install the machinery and spouting
as it did to do the concrete work,
but the spouting on the addition
will be much less complicated and
will take but a comparatively short
time to install.
Work will be started Immediately
on the six tubes for the Kendrick
Warehouse & Milling Company's
elevator. The pit is all walled up
with the first layer of concrete and
is now being water proofed. The
six tubes will all be built up at the
same time. The two crews that
are working on both jobs will be
divided into two shifts and rush the
elevator to completion as fast as
possible.
One cause Of delay on the work
that has been done on the Rochdale
elevator was the small capacity OF
the rock crusher. This delay will
be eliminated from now ON as it has
been decided to ship in gravel to
use along with the sand and the
crushed rock. The contractors be-
lieve they can finish the job in time
for harvest as the work will pro
gress twice as fast. with the two
crews working, as it did on the frs
job. Clark and Fairbanks will b,
the two foremen and they are botl
first class men. When this elevator
is completed Kendrick will b.
ahead of any town in the state 81
: far as elevator equipment is con
cerned.

Method of Draft

The fate Of 9,649,000 registered
men in the United States is held in
a huge glass bowl filled with little
gelatine capsules. Numbers on
little squares of paper, in each of
these capsules, will designate the
men drafted for the American
armies. The final plan of this
unique method for singing out the
men for the first military levy is
now before Secretary Baker. Un-
less there is a shift made in the
present arrangements the method
followed in the first lottery will be
as follows:
Sheriff papers numbered serially
will be placed in the capsules and
thrown into the big transparent
globe. On the day of the draft the
capsules will be drawn at random,
Each slip of paper indicates that
every man bearing that number ir
each of more than 1000 counties
and cities in the nation, is drafted
Slips will be numbered from one
to as high as the number of mer
registered in the highest precinct ir
the nation. The drawing will prob
ably be held in a large room in the
war department. A committee Of
prominent men is to be appointed
to serve as witnesses testifying tt
the impartiality of the lottery.

Use Traps For Rats

Rats and mice have too much
their own way ir some households.
Their unhampered excursions into
pantries and larders will menace
food conservation efforts this year.
Get number Of traps and fight
them. Persistent trapping will put
an end to these raiders. Poisons
properly safeguarded are effective,
but their use in dwellings usually
is undesirable because none is known
which, when eaten by rat, will
prevent decomposition of the body.
For both rats and mice the COM
mon guillotine or choke" traps
with wooden base and wooden
bait pan are recommended rather
than those having metal base and
pan. These traps should be set
with light trigger. Oatmeal
usually is the most effective bait.
A few grains of it should lie on the
trigger pan and few more be
scattered near the trap. A change
of bats is advisable from time to
time. Pumpkin or sunfower seeds,
corn meal, bits of fish or toasted
cheese may be used. Bats will not
be attractive while food is access
ible. Remove supplies that are be-
ing damaged and. as far as possible
keep them in rat-proof containers.

Parks Bought Tractor

Ford Parks bought a large Case
tractor and received delivery for
the same last week. 1t is a four
wheel machine and very powerful.
He expects to use it to run his
grain separator this summer. One
man can operate the machine while
the steam tractors require an en-
gineer, fireman, straw-buck and
water hauler during threshing sea-
son. There is no danger from fire
and the fuel is easily supplied. II
is estimated that one of these en-
gines will burn about twenty gal
Ions of distillate day. He has ex
tension rims that can be attached t,
the wheels when the machine is t.
be used in soft ground. The cos
is something over $2800.

Proposes Registration

Registration of every man in
Idaho between 16 and 60, with their
nationality and occupation, is pro-
posed by Governor Moses Alexander.
The suggestion was made in the
executive session of the defence
council at Coeur d'Alene Monday,
and discussion after the meeting
showed that the members of the
council favored Incorporating it in
the report prepared by a committee
for submission to the governor.
The registration would show each
mans age, where born, whether nat
uralized, residence, occupation and
whether he is employed. With this
information, it is argued, county or
state authorities would find it easier
to cope with labor trouble.
That many of the l. w. w. agitat.
ors and strikers could be deported
as citizens of other countries and
undesirable in this, and that many
might even be interned as alien
enemies is argued by Governor
Alexander and the members of the
council.
A disposition on the part of resi-
dents in every community of Wash
ington and northern Idaho to organ
ize themselves for any emergenc!
is shown in reports from Whitman
Walla Walla. Columbia, and Yakim;
. counties of this state and Latah
Nez Perce, Kootenai, and Shoshon'
counties of Idaho.

Keep Pasture For Hogs

Perhaps the high price of grain
will awake farmers to the full ap-
probation Of the grazing ability of
hogs. There never was so great an
incentive to save grain and use
green forage. 1t is generally un-
derstood now that profitable hog
feeding in summer involves the use
of pasture of some kind, but there
is more difference in hog pastures
than many people suppose. How
ever a few men realize the import
ance of ample growth and tender
palatable forage in hog pasture,
and they profit by the knowledge.
Very often the only hog-tight
field on grain farm is the small
grass pasture near the barn that
serves for all kinds of stock.
Horses and sheep keep the grass
too short for cattle or hogs. In
stances have probably come to notice
when hogs on such a pasture last
year did not return market price
for the grain they ate. Other
farmers nearby whose hogs ran in
alfalfa. clover and rape figured that
they got much more than market
price for the grain fed, and in some
instances twice as much. This
means that their hogs in gooo
pasture probably made twice al
much pork from each hundred
pounds of grain as was made by the
hogs on short grass.
The hog will eat an abundance o,
green forage if given a chance
The important thing to bear il
mind is that the better the forag'
the more the hog will eat of it, ant
then the more grain there is lef
for other purposes. Good succulen
pasture crops like alfalfa, clover o
rape often make 400-800 pounds o
pork per acre besides what can b.
accounted for thru the grain fed.

North and South Highway

Lewiston-The $1,000. 900 fund
necessary to get active construction
work well under way on north and
south highway has been raised
through the bond issues voted by
the counties and state and federal
aid.
This road will extend from
Phoenix, Ariz., to the Canadian
boundary in north Idaho, and will
traverse one of the most beautiful
sections of the west. The entire
81 900, 900, which has been made
available through recent bond issues
of the various counties through
which the highway will traverse,
will be spent entirely within the
boundary limits of Idaho during
the years 1917 and 1918.
AS this highway will be an official
state highway, it will be built ac-
cording to state highway specifi-
cations. All bridges and culverts
must be of permanent nature, and
their cost of upkeep will be borne
by the state"
Contracts for road work and the
construction of bridges on the high
ways of the state costing total of
$162,9lO have been awarded by the
state highway commission recently.

How Drawing is Done

With the early approach of the
period when the actual draft is to
be made. there is now much inquiry
from those registered in Nez Perce
county as to the methods of draft.
The draft board-Sheriff Welker,
Auditor Wright, and County Physi-
clan Alley-are constantly receiving
inquiries, says the Lewiston Tribune.
The board has been provided with
some preliminary information but
the final instructions await a specific
order from the president. How
ever, there are some general reg
ulations outlined which it is believ-
ed the presidents order will not
modify.
It appears that the draft law pro-
vides for two boards-the county
board and the district board. The
county board represents the county,
while the district boards jurisdict-
ion embraces the federal judicial
district. As Idaho is one judicial
district, the district board will rep
resent the entire state. The local
board conducts the physical exami-
nations of the drafted men, but
when a person is accepted a second
physical examination will be made
at the point of rendezvous. After
the local board has decided upon
those accepted and those exempted,
this list is forwarded to the district
board. The local board has no
right to exempt for agricultural or
industrial preparedness reasons, that
power resting with the district
board. A drafted man may appeal
from the finding of the county
board to the district board and may
appeal from the latter board to the
president.
After the draft list is completed
the names are provided the adjutant
general Of the state and the ad
jutant notifies the accepted men al
to the specified time and place HI
shall report.

Men Drawn Next Week

Postponement until next week of
the drawing of numbers of men
who will be called for examination
for the national army seemed prof.
able when it became evident that
states are not completing organiza-
tion of their district exemption
boards as rapidly as war depart
ment officials had hoped. Only 21
states have reported their organiza-
tion complete, although in most
others only few districts are
missing. The drawing will not be
made until the lists for the county
are complete.
A so-called revised census esti-
mate for the entire country COM
piled on the basis of the draft
registration will be used for deter
mining apportionments. Each city,
county or state must furnish two
thirds of one percent Of its paper
population, according to the new
estimates which were made for the
purpose of equalizing the draft
rather than to represent accurate
population totals.
Thus New York City, with an es-
timated population Of 6,504, 165,
must give 43,302 Of the 687, 900
young men to be called on the first
draft. A city with $4,000 popula-
tion would be required to give 166
men. These apportionments would
be subject to slight allowances for
alien enemies, for men who have
volunteered and for other causes.
The population estimates, far
from attempting to show actual
populations, simply are improvised
figures reached by considering the
number of registrants in each sub
division as 9.32 percent of the pop
ulation, since the total number
registered, 1863. 1892, was 9.32
percent of the total estimated pop
ulation, 1O3, ,635, 300. The process
resulted in large dummy popula-
tion showings for cities with war
industries when there has been a
recent inflow of workmen without
their families. Since the figures
are based on the number of mer
available for military services, how
ever. officials consider the estimates
fair as bases for apportionment.
Pleas for exemption of any mar
need not be made by him, but may
be entered by wife, other depend
ent, employer or any other thirt
person, the provost marshal gener
ais office explained in statement
It also explained that any registered
man absent from his home distric
need not return for personal exam
ination, but may be ordered by hi
home board to be exempted else
where.

LEGISLATIVE HEARINGS

New Britain and It's People Are In-
 tercsted in Water Line Taxations
 and Woman Suffrage Amendment,
 An important legislative hearing in which New Britain is vitally interested is scheduled before the finance com mittee at the capitol in Hartford to- morrow afternoon when the bill for the proposed taxation of water pipe lines and dams comes up for action. New Britain, with other cities, opposes the passage of this bill as it would make the city pay enormous taxes on property which brings in no returns.
 For instance, instead of paying a tax on improved farm lands as it does now, New Britain would have to pay a. tax on the value of the property through which the water pipes run and also on the expense of the work put into the operations.
 Another hearing in which number of New Britain people, particularly women, are interested is scheduled for Senator George w. klett's judiciary committee al D. m. This is the hear ing on the woman suffrage amend ment. Senator I<lett stated this morn women and men from all over the state to appear and he thinks the hearing will last several hours.
