There are five things you can use
for the purpose OF pasture for hogs
on dry land. Winter rye hOgged off
ia the spring; alfalfa and clover
tsWeet hogged off in spring; winter
Yetch and peas hogged off in the
spring.
The first of the crops to be avail
able in the spring for forage will DO
the alfalfa. On dry land in this
country alfalfa should be planted in
2l-inch rows for forage production.
Narrower planting than this will
cause too much competition for mois-
ture among the plants and growth will
be very short and the pasture Will not
last very long.
Sweet clover will follow the alfal-
ia pasture as It comes out later in
the spring. Two weeks difference in
time Of early spring growth has
been noted on this station. However
it grows much faster after growth
starts. This crop is also best planted
in 2l-inch rows for forage produc-
ton.
Following the alfalfa and clover
crops, the rye crop comes in for hog
ging down. This crop should be
planted in every drill row at about
two pecks to the acre. Some varie-
ties require two and a half pecks.
This crop is hOgged off in the green
stage before seed is formed.
In the three above mentioned
crops It will be necessary to supple
ment these green feeds with grain to
make a properly balanced ration for
normal growth Of the hog.
Netch and peas come in about the
same time. An early variety Of peas
can be planted TO hasten along this
kind of feed. A later variety can
be planted on the same da-e thus car
rying along the feeding season of the
peas until wheat harvest is on The
pea crop lends itself 10 this kind Of
manipulation better than ans other
kind of forage for the dry lands. Il
is the best crop for hogging of which
We possess az this time. IL has an
advantage owe the three first crops

AMERICAN FALLS, IDAHO.
The Greatest Wheat Producing Dis
triet in the State.

In the year 1906 during the month
OF April the writer visited American
Falls for the first time. At that time
the town consisted of a few buildings
on the south side Of the track and a
population of about 100 people. The
country round about consisted of So
called desert lands covered with the
ever present sage brush and bunch
grass with here and there a patch of
lavarock. Also a few, a very few,
homestead shacks erected by some ad-
%venturous spirits who were willing to
take a chance" at trying to clear
and farm the land. The outlook was
not encouraging to the writer who had
been brought up on the fertile plains

The company employ an average
of nine men the year round and
keep the mill running full time the
greater portion of the year. The
company claim to produce the most
sanitary flour made in the state
as every kernel of wheat is thor

grinding. They invite inspection
at any and alItimes and take plea

The company manufactures
three grades of flour, all made
from the justly celebrated Ameri-
can Falls Turkey Red Hard wheat.
The principal brand of flour is
named "AMBROSIA" and the next
grade ONEIDA" The Ambrosia
grade is advertised as the best
flour made in Idaho and for the
Oneida grade the claim is made that
THE only flour made in Idaho that
is better than ONEIDA is the
AmbrOsia grade made by the same
company. Up to the present time
no one has ever questioned the
statement and the management
stands ready at all times to main
tain the position they take by any
legitimate test by responsible par
ties.

RURAL CENSUS OF STATE PLAN.
NED BY V. 0. GILBERT.

The first complete rural census of
Kentucky is planned by State Super
intendent V. o. Gilbert, who proposes
securing, through the rural schools,
a report giving the number of chill
dren in each district, their ages, num-
Der of illiterates, idiots, the number
of acres in all kinds of crops, the
number of head of livestock and all
other such information as will fur
nish data for an accurate survey of
rural life conditions.
Superintendent Gilbert is confident
he can get the work done and is pre-
pairing blanks for the teachers. Most
of the information can be secured
through the children taking blanks
home to their parents to fill out. In
spectors will be put in the field
wherever there is a lack of co-opera-
ton.
The work and its Importance will
be explained fully to the teachers at
the Institutes. County Superintend-
ents are being asked to assist.

Silent Alarm Clock,

1.-THE alarm clock as a social prob
lem" might be the thesis of the in
ventor who has devised a new form
of this Indispensable but unpopular
instrument. Realizing that the pro-
longed peal of a lusty bell at 8 a. m.
may cause considerable inconven-
fence to next-door neighbOrs in apart
ment houses and dOrmitOries, he has
devised a silent alarm which awakens
the sleeper by strong light instead
of a loud noise. When the clock
reached the moment set on the dial,
instead of releasing the spring of a
bell it throws in the switch of an
electric bull's-eye lantern, so directed
that it floods the pillow with it's glare.
1t is claimed that this method is as
effective as the bell in awakening the
sleeper in question, and less effective
in awakening neighbOrs and room
mates.

Home-Making Robins.

Late in March, or early in April, the
robin returns. We may see Him hop
ping around on our lawns, or perhaps
we may hear him first. He has a
clear, cheerful voice. but does not sing
his most joyous songs until his mate
returns from the South, about a week
later. Together they build the nest, or
remodel one that they have occupied
for several seasons. In the latter case
the old leaves are cleared out, and a
few crooked sticks added to the clumsy
looking mass. Then it is ready for the
mudcup that will make it firm, solid
and safe. The mother bird brings the
mud, and uses her breast as mason
does his trowel, to shape, smooth and
press it into shape. She is very dirty
bird when she has finished, but soon
makes herself clean and neat again.
When lined with grass, moss and
feathers the nest is quite comfortable.

De Soto's Romance.

Fernando De Soto, the Spanish ex-
plorer, is associated with much of the
early history of this country. He is
best remembered as having been the
first European to look upon the Mis-
sissippi.
At an early age he fell in love with
the daughter of his patron, Dom Pc
dro de Avila. To prevent the mar
riage, De Avila induced De Soto to
accompany him to America, where he
had been recently appointed governor
of Spanish possessions in the western
hemisphere. This was in 1919.
In 1927 De Soto served in the expe-
dition to Nicaragua under Fernandez,
and in 1923 he withdrew entirely from
the service of his patron. In 1887 he
returned to Spain and married Isa-
bella, who for more than fifteen years
had waited faithfully for him.

Fat, Protein and Lime Salts in
Dietary, Says Doctor.

Beware of giving young children too
much pasteuriZed milk, proprietary
food, or even cereals, to the eXclu-
sion of brown bread and butter,
stewed fruit or roasted apple, and a
little meat once a day." writes DR..
Beverley Robinson of New York in
giving a warning note about ricketts, in
the New York Medical Journal.
He adds that he is considering
especially children two or three years
old, who are healthy and vigorous I'M

reason of faulty dietary" And he
quotes the following from Osler:
Like scurvy, ricketts, may be found
in the families of the wealthy under
perfect hygienic conditions. 1t is most
common in children fed on condensed
milk, the various proprietary foods,
cows milk and food rich in starches."

TUBERCULOSIS NOT INHERITED

tuberculosis is acquired, not in
herited. There can be no tuberculo-
sis without the germ. The commonest
method of infection is by beathing.
Dust laden with germs from spit" or
sputum of consumptives floats in the
air and is breathed into the lungs.
Hence the necessity of destroying all
sputum, and of special precautions
in coughing and sneezing. Tubercu-
olsis may also be acquired by inges-
ton, i. e., by swallowing the germs
with infected milk and food, and,
more rarely, by incubation through
cuts and wouds.
While tuberculosis is not inherit
ed, children, especially babies, are
particularly liable to Infection from
contact with consumptive persons.
Such childhood Infection may not
produce immediate disease and may
remain inactive for years, until the
boy or girl, weakened by bad envi
ronment, dissipation or overwork,
loses the normal resisting power,
the latent germs become active,
and a breakdown with tuberculosis
follows.
Because of this, it is the utmost
Importance to keep the body always
strong and resistant.

ENCOURAGEMENT IN RIGHT
DOING.

We often wonder why it is that
people, if they know any good IF
their neghbor, seem to think it their
duty to keep the fact a secret never
to be divulged until their neighbor
has passed away and is laid in his
grave, and then to be brought to
light when it can be of no earthly
benefit to him. 1t is not so with their
faults, which all take more or less
pleasure in magnifying before the
public. Many a man has been driven
to the dogs for the want of little
encouragement and a just recognition
of his honest efforts to do right, that
are not appreciated by his fellowmen.
If people would take half the trouble
to encourage others in we'll doing
that they do to circulate everything
they hear derogatory to them the
world would be much better and
many man saved from becoming a
criminal. Men whose good deeds are
ignored by society and whose slight
est fault is continually harped upon
and magnified; soon lose all self re-
spect and care nothing for society,
because society cares nothing for
him, and he continues to do wrong:
but if it is no credit to do right, what
encouragement have they to do bet
ter? One-half of the criminals in our
jails and penitentiaries have beea
made such, in all probability, by the
unkindness of their fellowmen, who
have always stood ready to condemn
every little offense without stopping
to inquire into the circumstances
that may have caused the party to do
wrong. We should put ourselves in
our neighbours place surrounded by
the same circumstances, then we
would be better able to judge and not
have to wait till they are dead be-
fore we could say something good
about them.

KOBE HAS WESTERN FLAVOR
Big Busting japanese City Seems
Proud Of Having Occidental Rather
Than Oriental Appearance.

When you arrive at the hotel in
Kobe the management informs you
proudly that they have the biggest
dining room between Calcutta and San
Francisco. This is a fOretaste of a
string of disappointments that await
the tourist who is in search of the
real Japanese flavor. Kobe is a big,
bustling prosperous city, but it is proud
of being up-tO-date and Western rath-
er than being curious and Oriental.
The hotel is full of European travel
ers and business men, the streets are
full of people in Western costumes,
and on the whole you are likely to de-
eide that you might have stayed in
Kansas City,
If you refuse to be disappointed,
however, and extend your explorations,
you will find that the Enthusiastically
japanese quarters of Kobe are the big
gest part of the city and it is still
going about it's affairs in the japanese
way. Here are the narrow crowded
streets, the bounding rickshaw men
who pull up and grin good naturally
at each other after averting a fatal
collision by hairs breadth, the rows
on rows of little low shops with their
big, incomprehensible signs, and the
incongruous groves and forests Of tele-
graph poles.
The telegraph and telephone pole to-
day is really more a feature Of the
Japanese landscape than Fujiyama, the
sacred mountain. The modern jap
anese fan should show line of
conventionalized telegraph poles dis
appearing in impossible perspec-
tive rather than the cherry blossoms
and fan-wielding maidenS who belong
to past age. For some reason Japan
has proved a fertile soil for the tele-
graph pole. The wires run under
ground and apparently more poles are
used than there is any necessity for.
The poles are the most conspicuous
feature of the Kobe landscape.

IT FELL IN FIFTH CENTURY
And Shingles Are Still Obtained From
Prehistoric Trunk Of Red Cedar
Tree in Great Northwest.

Shingles are still obtained from the
log of q western red cedar tree which
fell in forest of the great Northwest
between 13 and ii centuries ago. The
huge trunk lies where it fell, blown
over, perhaps by the winds Of the fifth
century, A. D.
Straddling the log, with it's roots I'm
the ground at either side is the great
stump, ten feet high, of another tree
of the same species, also still sound.
The latter tree was evidently felled by
woodsmen many years ago. Its annual
rings number 1880, which permits Of
an awe-inspiring guess at the age of
the log which it straddles. This meth
cd of growth, by the way, is not an un-
usual phenomenon. Seeds lying on the
surface Of the felled trunk were nOur-
ished by the wet moss which covered
it and sent sprouts down to the ground
on either side. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that the log on the ground was of a
ripe old age 1880 years ago when the
second tree was taking root.
Slnce the prone loS - Holio" ilS
rings cannot be counted. Moss which
covered both log and stump and pre-
served them against decay was evident
ly burned off in a comparatively re-
cent forest fire. The species of tree
described furnishes more shingles
than any other tree in the world
the famous western cedar shingles,
known in every market in the country.

Orange Popular in Tropics.

In the tropics the orange is even
more appreciated than farther north
because of it's wonderful thirst
quenching qualities, and the eating of
it is a more highly developed art. In
the Porto Rican cities oranges are sold
on the streets by push-cart merchants
for a cent apiece. The vender deftly
peels each orange with a sharp knife
in such a way that the outer yellow
skin is removed and thin white coat
ing of uniform thickness remains, with
a small hole at the top. So treated,
the orange may be sucked to the last
drop without the least danger that it
will break and soil the fingers; but it
takes genuine artist to peel the fruit
in the right way.

now WORLD KEEPS BALANeE.
Permanenee Of Continents Explained
by CeoIogists IS Due TO Greater
Liahtness Of Rock Of Land.

It is a comparatively new theory
that explains the permanence Of con-
tinents, though their surfaces are on
the average about three miles higher
than the sea bottom, as due to the
greater lightness of the rocks of the
land. At various periods in geological
history the balance thus established
has been disturbed by the forcing up
or depressing of portions of the
earth's crust, and the disturbances
seem to have been followed by slow
settling or rising to the point of stable
equilibrium.
Late researches by the coast and
geodetic survey prove satisfactorily
that the mountains of the United
States at least retain their places
through their low density instead Of
being held up by the rigidity or
strength of the earth's materials. The
lightest gases rise highest, and are
kept above the general level as ice
bergs rise higher than the denser wa
ter in which they float. The differ
ences in the density of continental and
suboceanic materials are believed to
continue down to a depth of about
sixty miles. The normal condition is
considered to be that in the large river
valleys and under the coastal plains,
and the material below sea level is
heavier than normal down to sixty
miles.

Taxing the NeWsnaners.

This country cannot win the war
without the aid of the newspapers
In the first place, if it had not been
for the newspapers the Liberty Loan
would not have been raised in a hun
dred. years. In the next place, if the
newspapers of the forty-eight States,
all the dailies and the weeklies and
the semi-weeklies and the tri-week-
lies, and papers of all kinds, had re-
fused to print line about the Red
Cross, that organization would not
have secured the magnificent dona-
tion of 100000 within the life
Of any man or woman living.
And yet there is in Congress to-
day bunch of little men unpatriotic
enough to seek the death of thous-
ands of newspapers by the taxation
route, just as a similar bunch taxed
the banknote circulation of State
banks to-death during the Civil War.
If there is a newspaper in Bour-
bon county or any of the counties
surrounding, that is growing rich
just now we failed to find out where
it is and along this line we claim to
fairly well posted. If there is a
newspaper owner in Bourbon or any
of the surrounding counties making
even fair per cent of interest on
the money he has invested, he is
keeping it awfully quiet. And yet
there sits in Washington that little
bunch of misguided and malicious
misrepresentation of the people seek
ing to tax out of existence at least
ninety per cent. of the newspapers of
this country.
At the present price of white pa
per the more copies a paper prints
the worse off it is. The advance of
all materials has been as great, if not
greater than in any other line of bus
iness. It's a struggle just now, the
hardest ever known for any newspa-
per to do more than break even, and
yet they go along without grumbling,
and many of them, like THE NEWS,
without raising their prices to con-
form with the cost of that which goes
into their making. If the little
bunch in Congress wants America to
lose the war all they need to do is to
put the newspapers out of business.
The English and French governments
have admitted freely that most of
their successes have come from the
generous and loyal support of the
newspapers America going on
record as striving to hamper the
greatest agency for good the Govern
ment can have?

Bubble Background of Photos.

Professor Boys of England, expert
menting with bubbles, obtained some
very large ones, which in the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that he
conceived the idea of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
The large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popu-

funnel was dipped into it. The bel

him and we pray for him, but we win
never be called upon to face the aw-
full accusation that our Paris and
Bourbon county soldiers, our soldiers
from all over America, murdered inno-
cent women and children. The
American soldier is not murderer.
The American soldier does not ravish
and mutilate and MAIN the mothers
and sisters of those against whom
they fight.
James Bryce, the historian, and a
man whose word is as true as truth
itself, tells of seeing, with his own
eys, little children in Belgium whose
hands had been cut off at the wrist
by the Prussian soldiers. He tells of
seeing Prussian soldier, marching
through the streets of a devastated
Belgian town, reaching his gun into
a crowd of frightened, distracted wo-
men and children, and impaling a
child of three years upon the bay
onet of that gun. We believe James
Bryce, as much as we regret to.
Here in Paris and Bourbon county
we can thank God that our soldiers
do not fight that way. When they
march away we can console our
selves, in measure, that, even
should the war be lost, our boys can
face their Maker with a clean con-
science, and with hands that never
wantonly touched or troubled an in
nocent woman or child.
