Hogs are raised for home consump-
ton only at the present time. a cross
Of the Berkshire and P~oland-ChiDa
being preferred. Mr.. Martin, how
ever is Of the opinion that with proper
fencing and pasture arrangements the
ultimate destiny Of this hill country
will be the raising Of hogs on a large
scale for market shipment along with
grain raising and dairying.
Large Receipts From Poultry.
The flock Of % laying hens adds to
the income Of the ranch regularly and
the intention is 70 have nothing but
pure bred Plymouth Rocks on the
place in another year or two. A
bunch Of White Holland turkeys calls
this ranch its home, this variety ex-
clusively being raised IN account Of
the greater demand for them in the
poultry market. Last year 125 Of them
were sold at an average Of 50 per
head. They are fine rustlers, requir-
ing feeding for a period Of four weeks
only to be ready for market.
Up On Rattlesnake the squirrels are
extremely numerous and if they are
not constantly fought not much would
remain of a garden. The best means
found here to combat them are traps
and cats. A bunch Of cats will keep
them down in good shape. and it is a
noticeable fact that not a single ranch
in this section Of the county is without
them. Many times they have been
noticed miles from anywhere in a
grain field or alfalfa patch patiently
waiting for a gopher to emerge from
his den.
Mr.. Martin is a native Of Missouri
and Mrs. Martin calls Maryland her
native state. They came to Idaho in
1911, locating at Oxford, 20 miles
north of the Utah line. Three years
later they removed to Crook county,
Oregon, but after less than a year they
again came to Idaho and located on
the homestead which they have con
verified into a productive diversified
farm. When they came to this tract
the s%agebrush was as high as the
house and all sorts of noxious growths
had to be combatted. One of these
was June grass, but this was effec-
lively killed by blowing it under to a
depth of y inches. A barn. granary,
workshop and other structures have
been built, and development Of the
place is steadily progressing. Mr..
Martin is frank in stating that the past
three years have been adverse and that
sagebrush land can not be developed
to it's full growing capacity in three
years, but both he and Mrs. Martin
are enthusiastic in the conviction that
the Crystal country will give good re-
turns for money and time invested.
In the Friday issue The Pilgrim will
write of the pioneer rancher of Arbon
valley and his activities.

Mrs. Henry S~handrew this year had
q garden of a little more than half an
acre-all a dry farming proposition.
Peas and Early Bush beans yielded
particularly we'll. From four quarts
of Stratagem and Gratis peas planted
Is quarts were preserved and 30
pounds of ripe peas put away. From
one pint of the beans planted p
quarts were put up, and besides this
the table was supplied with both these
products the entire season. Last
spring some celery seed nine years
old was planted and the yield left
nothing 10 be desired. Gold Coin and
Blue Butter potatoes have supplied
the table since July 4, and enough have
been stored away 10 last until new
ones are ready next summer. Yellow
flint corn was planted as an expert
ment and while the ears did not ma
ture this year owing TO the late plant
ing. the fodder problem has been
solved on this ranch. II has been
proven 70 the satisfaction Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Shandrew that corn fodder is a
welcome ration for cows and horses
and the ground devoted TO the cultiva-
ton Of corn will be increased next
year. This garden received plenty Of
attention from hoe and rake. and this
in a great measure accounts for the
splendid results obtained.

Mr.. and Mrs. G.. A. Brahmstadt keep
an accurate record Of all incoming and
outgoing revenue on their ranch. This
record shows that from January l to
October II Of this year 50 laying hens
of mixed stock have, besides supply
ing the home, yielded an income from
the sale of eggs amounting to s71.O7.
One COW, a Jersey-Holstein cross, pro-
duced an income of s1S.45 from the
sale of butter in the same period. be-
sides supplying the household. Thus
80 hens and one COW added sS9.52 TO
the income of the ranch in less than
ten months, and that should be con-
elusive evidence that no ranch is
economically complete without the
dairy and chicken flock features.

For several weeks the Pilgrim has
noticed that whenever a stormy blast
came through Arbon and Crystal val
ley its advent was announced by a
f%orbidding frown up BannOck peak
way. Last Monday night the old
weather witch hanging o on the sum
NIT of the peak mixed a dose OF winter
weather and kicked the bucket over
prematurely. and as a result an icy
blast blew down the mountain and
over the far-flung domain of the val
ley the following two days and nights.
one good thing the heavy frost
brought about was the freezing of the
mustard seed in bloom. Threshing in
some instances was suspended for a
time owing 10 the heavy wind. The
new moon took a look at the situation
in the valley Thursday evening, but
proved a Stacker and took refuge be-
hind a cloud and left the evening star
to go it alone. The weather has
moderated considerably and threshing
operations and grain hauling is in full
swing and the Pilgrim has not found
a solitary citizen of the valley who is
dismayed. All are figuring GU the
best means Of getting a bumper crop
next year. and if Mother Nature VIII
do her share the people of ArbOn val
ley will do a share and a half.
Ernest Poppie. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Poppie of Arbon valley, who
left for Camp Lewis, American Lake,

tingent of the selective draft on Octo-

has been attached to Co. A. 166th De

sive training TO tt him to be a soldier

John Hayden Of Crystal related to
the Pilgrim how in his native land.
Sweden. a market day was held month
ly in some central locality. On these
occasions town and county people as
sembled and bought. sold and traded
in every conceivable line Of COM
merce. Everything from a diamond
ring TO a wooden shoe served as a
basis for a commercial transaction.
The heat of summer Or cold Of winter
was not permitted to interfere with
the holding of this market day. Each
locality had a certain date set apart
for it. and the people assembled. be-
sides buying and trading, compared
notes on the state of crops and affairs
in general and learned from each other
how to better the conditions Of their
respective communities.

Four daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
r. Bailey Of Arbon valley have an en-
viable record Of school attendance.
