THE CUB SAYS

A. ]. Shreck, of Aberdeen, has 80
acres of Grimm alfalfa and has
raised about Az bushels per acre
He waters it once and does not pas
ture it nor clip it. He says alfalfa
seed is very slow in growing and
seems to require all summer to ma
ture.
Herbert Lowe raised some Grimm
alfalfa seed last year and while it
was lying in the field there came
hard wind storm that scattered it
about SO it was almost impossible to
get It together again. The man in
charge of it did not realize how
much of value there was in it or he
would have been more prompt in get
ting it stacked. 1t was not until he
gather up little of the leavings
after the storm and threshed it that
he awoke to their loss.
John Middendorff lives at the end
Of the lavas, northwest of Moreland,
on an irrigated farm. He has IA
acres of beets, IL Of new alfalfa, 10
Of old alfalfa, 1 of potatoes 16 of
oats and AZ acres of hay ON some
rented land.
Harvey Glover came from Ameri-
can Falls one year ago and settled
about 10 miles north of the lavas.
He has plowed about 100 acres with
a gasoline tractor of the 9-18 type,
using 2 pillow bottoms. The outfit
cost about $1,100 and uses about
~ gallons of gasoline per acre and
gallons of lubricating oil, worth 40
cent per gallon. Mr.. Glover thinks
this Is too much and believes the en-
CINE is not working right when it
uses so much. 1t plows or acres

W. T. England has 40 acres few

a well and tank with a windmill at
the place and considerable stock
water there.
Rodney G. Farnsworth has a dry
farm miles north of Moreland and
has about Is acres in grain and some
garden. This is his first year on the
place.
Mrs. Katie Mittleider is widow

KILL SQUIRRELS AT ABERDEEN

County Agent R. r. Groninger and
w. e. Crouch, the government ro-
dent pest expert, mixed 200 quarts
of squirrel killer at Aberdeen Mon
day evening.
Theyuse recipe that the govern
ment spent long time and a lot OF
money to determine, and Mr.. Gron-
niger states that no other Is neces-
sary. Here are the directions:
Mix one tablespoonful OF gloss
starch in one-half teacup Of cold
water, and stir into one-half pint OF
boiling water to make thin clear
paste. Mix one ounce of powdered
strychnine (alkaloid) with one ounce
of baking soda (bicarbonate) and
stir with the starch to a smooth
creamy mass free of Jumps. Stir in
one-fourth pint of heavy corn syrup
and one tablespoonful of glycerine,
and finally one scant teaspoonful OF
saccharine. Apply to Is quarts OF
oats and mix thoroly to coat each
kernel. Each quart Of poisoned
grain is sufficient for 40 to so bats.
Scatter it along squirrel trails, or on
clean hard surfaces near holes.

to save 60 cents and the loss Of the
pure water besides. The writer sug.
gested to him that he try to get a
job for himself and team in the hay
field and earn few 60-cent pieces
and then use the well water. He
said he had job engaged for the
middle of July, but would keep on
hauling from the canal up to that
time. The writer tried to get him
to see the advantage of going to the
settlement and working for single
day or two and then buying the well
water, but it seemed that he could
not see the advantage of it.
Will Stroh has a dry farm IS
miles north of Blackfoot and reports
$50 acres of winter wheat and 20
acres of spring wheat, also little
tract of alfalfa and acres of po-
tatoes.
S. E. Peoples lives IA miles north
east of Taber. rs miles from Black
foot and 25 miles southwest of Ida
no Falls. He has been cutting some
bunch grass every year which he uses
for hay. A large tract of country
has been burned off and the sage
cleared away, so he and his neigh
bors have harvested good supply
of such hay this year. There Is con-
siderable young sage and rubbish in
it and in raking it gather great
deal of dust. They say that they
feed as much of it on the snow in
the winter as they can and that the
snow absorbs the greater amount of
dust. Over in the Taber country we
found men cutting the same kind Of
hay and rye grass with binder or
self-rake reaper and in this way they
save the trouble of raking it and
keep it much freer from dust. Mr..
Peoples came from Walla Walla,
Washington.
T. D. KICKER came from Los An
geles and took up claim just north
of Mr.. Peoples. This is his second
year on the place and he has 20
acres of spring wheat.
L. C. Curtis was engaged in now

rye, which he was stacking for hay.
In June he cut IA tons of wild bunch

about 3 feet high. Mr.. Curtis has
2 acres of wheat and nice garden.
He plans to SOW 100 acres of rye and

HoMEsTEADs CAN BE HAD

The editor of The Republican has
examined some of the lands adver-
tised by George H. Webb in this issue
and recommends them to the consid-
Grafton of persons wanting dry farms.
The opportunity for securing these
lands will soon pass. Homeseekers
have already taken thousands OF
acres of less desirable lands in the
county lying farther from town, and
would undoubtedly have taken these
they had known about them.
The locator, Mr.. Webb, earns the
location fee when he searches out
the good lands, marks the lines and
takes the homeseeker to several OF
the best ones so he can make his
choice. These are probably the best
free lands left in Bingham county.

The Idea

Why not put something be-
tween the asbestos and range
body that will not rust, said
this man. After much expert
menting he found that a copper
lining completely overcame the
trouble. He asked the govern
ment for a patent on this idea,
which was granted, and now
his company alone are permit
ted to use "a rust proof lining
between the asbestos and the
range body"
Imitators have tried and
tried, but this patent is tight,
because it covers an idea. The
best they can do is to put
something between the asbes-
tos and the inside lining as
though that would prevent rust
on the cold sweaty side of the
asbestos.

only Copper-Clad range at our
store.
