The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-11-29

One-year-Old or two-year-old twigs Of
vigorous, healthy trees. Cuttings
should be made always with slanting
strokes of very sharp knife, so as
to avoid bruising the bark. If trees
free from seed, or "bloom," as it is
sometimes called, are desired, cuttings
should be taken from trees which OBJ
servation has shown do not produce
seed. AS soon as the cuttings are
made they should be tied in bundles
of about so and buried in cool,
moist, well-drained sand until spring.
AS soon as possible in the spring, and
always before the soil dries out, the
cuttings should be set out, with the
buds pointing upward, leaving two or
three inches above ground. The soil
should be pressed firmly about the
stems, and if it is not soft it is bet
ter to make holes for the cuttings with
a round bar or dibble.
Growing From Nuts.
Trees grown from large nuts, such
as walnut and oak, are best propa-
gated by planting the nut where the

A tree plantation established with
poor stock always is handicapped.
The purchase of cheap stock, simply
because 1t is cheap, is poor economy,
for often it results in failure.
Fortunately, most of the hardwoods
may be grown easily from seed, and
the possibility of buying stock which
is not true to name or of having it
injured in transit avoided. If the
farm maintains a garden plot, the
hardwood seedlings may be grown
there and planted out in the field when
one year old. The seed of the desired
species may be purchased or collected
locally, sown in rows, and handled
much the same as vegetable Seed. The
plants should be watered and cultivat-
ed, so that they will become as large
as possible during the season. After
the first of September water should
be applied only to keep the ground
from drying out completely. This is
necessary in order to harden the ten
der wood to Withstand frost.
Cuttings may be used successfully
for growing the planting stock for such
trees as willows and cottOnwoods.
These cuttings, which are best made in
the fall or early winter after the
leaves have fallen, should be about
ten inches in length and taken from

prepared by the United States Depart

Honey is produced in this country in
ordinary years considerably in excess
of 250OO0,O00 pounds. Most of the
commercial part of this crop is now
handled in large way as staple
food product. In part this is the re-
suit of commercial beekeeping and the
production of honey as an occupation.
In recent years bee diseases have
been driving out of business the un-
trained and Indifferent beekeeper and
opening the field to the expert who is
able to overcome these diseases and
who is informed concerning the
sources and times of honey flow and
the details of bee management.
Honey-Producing Plants.
The white-clover belt is the most inn
pOrtant honey-producing region, be-
cause it furnishes not only the leading
commercial honey but also more than
one-half of the honey crop of the en-
tire country. This belt extends from
Maine to Virginia and westward to the
semiarid plains. From white clover

AiR-SLAKED LIME IN FAVOR
Will Kill contagion Of Hog Cholera
and Germs Of Other Diseases
If Used Literally.

Use air-slaked lime as a disinfec-
tant around the stables, sheds and
yards. This will kill the contagion
of hog cholera and the germs of other
infectious diseases if used literally,
says the University of Florida extern
sion division. Spread freely about
the sleeping quarters and feeding
places of hogs, air-slaked lime will
tend to destroy germs of pneumonia
and help to keep the pigs free from
intestinal worms by destroying the
worms eggs in the droppings. Lime
will also prevent or reduce the breed
ing of flies in manure and gives clean
er and better smelling premises.

FACTORS IN STORAGE OF ICE
Houses Should Be Well Insulated and
Drained-Cost OF Construction
Is Important.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
Insulation and drainage are two Of
the most important factors m the pres
ervation of ice. 1t is true that the
temperature Of the earth varies less
than that of the air, but the fact that
the temperature of the earth at six
or eight feet below the surface remains
at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit the
year around makes it quite as impor-
tant to protect the stored ice against
air. 1t is more difficult to remove ice
as needed during the season from pits
than from structures above the ground.
Slight advantages are apparent at har-
vest time in favor of the cellar or the
half-sunken type of house, and under
some circumstances they will be pre-
ferred to the other type.
The length of time ice may he kept
depends upon the character of inSula-
ton provided. This will naturally vary
with the location of the icehouse and
the method of construction. Another
important factor will be the cost of
construction.
The simplest type of ice preserva-
ton consists in stacking the cakes in
a compact mass on a well-drained site,
as well protected as possible from sun
and wind, and covering the mass with
Sawdust, shavings, fodder, marsh hay
or any other good insulating material.
Such crude method is not to he rec
commended except as a temporary
makeshift for ice which is to be used
early in the season.

alone is secured about one-tenth of the
nations crop of honey. This kind is
almost colorless, has heavy body,
and distinct but delicate and de-
liciOus flavor.
Alfalfa honey is second in CONNER
cial Importance. Its region is mostly
west of the one hundredth meridian,
and 1t is colorless, except in the South
western states, where it darkens to
amber, with a distinctive spicy or
minty flavor.
Third in Importance for honey pro-
duction is sweet clover, a native and
mostly wild legume growing abundant
~ throughout all of the western noun
tain and plateau states and in less de-
gree eastward to the Atlantic states.
About 4 per cent of the surplus
honey-that is, the honey that bees do
not require for their own sustenance
comes from the flowers of the cot
ton plant, 3h per cent from the bass
wood tree or American linden, about
3 per cent each from the tulip poplar
tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent
from the goldenrod, a widespread plant
that produces highly favored, golden
honey. The mountain sages of Cali.
fornia produce type of honey of
much importance and, by common con-
, sent, one of the finest of all in absence
of color, in density, and in flavor. At
least 80 per cent of the honey crop
comes from the clovers and alfalfa.
Where Honey Comes From.
According to the census of 1910
California produces nearly one fifth Of
the honey crop, New York and Texas
each about one-eighteenth, and Michi.

lima each about one-twenty-fifth.
In the early days of the warfare
against food frauds, when exposures
of authorizations were popular, some
of the California comb honey was
looked upon with suspicion in the
East on account of the colorless ap-
pearance, wilderness of the wax, and
perfect filling of all cells, and honey
eaters were known to reject this honey
on the suppOsition that it was machine

jackson Miss February 2.-(Speclal.)
The affairs of the state hospital for
the insane at Jackson are being IN
vestigated by two separate and istlnct
committees--one named by the house.
the other by the senate. The house
committee has met behind closed doors,
so that what it has discovered is
mere matter of conjecture. Members
of the committee. while refusing to
give out one single crumb of informa-
fson. do not hesitate to say that they
have found a whole lot of rottenness
as to mismana cement and as to moral
ity on the part of some of the female
attendants and nurses, and speculation
is more than rife. A report from the
house committee is promised in the
very near future.
The senate committee has held open
sessions, and the newspaper men have
been in constant attendance, but so far
they have gathered nothing out OF
which to build the suggestion of SEN
sation. The witnesses so far have been,
in the main, for the defense. DR.. Butler
SUPERINTENDENT of the big institution
the past two years, testified as to nu-
merous reforms he had inaugurated and
told of the friction caused thereby, but
stated that he had carried out his ideas
and had seen that his orders were
obeyed. though he was forced to the
necessity of discharging several en-
ployes for disloyalty. He admitted that
there had been cases of immoraltty-at
least he believed it so strongly that he
discharged the woman in the case.
STATE is PROSPECTING
Secretary of State Power has given
out few figures showing that during
the past two years great many more
corporations have applied for license
to do business in Mississippi than dur
ing any two years heretofore, and he
takes that as evidence that the state
is prospecting. This brings up very in
teresting charge, which was to the eff
sfect that If Governor Bilbo should be
elected all kinds of enterprises would
shy clear of Mississippi The contrary
would now seem to have been the case,
as during the two years Bilbo has been
governor the charter fees for new cor
porations have been about $4,000 more
than ever before. This Is due largely.
1t is claimed, to the organization of
shipb building concerns along the gulf
coast, and not without reason. There
have been scores of these, the capital
invested being moro than 100000.
MAKE MORE GRAIN
The United States agents for farm
demonstration work are doing their
best to impress on the farmers of Mis-
sissippi the Importance of producing
great crops of corn, oats, wheat and
other grain, as well as patatoes, pea
nuts, sorghum and other feedstuffs
this year. 1t has been determined that
the state of Mississippi fell short of
expectations last year on these crops

Professor Dobyns is in his element as
the head of such an institution, but
he will not enter into any political
com biation to get what he wants and
for that reason has been left out. The
graduates and the pupils of the insti-
tuition are up in arms, but Governor
Bilbo remains obdurate and the mat

will be turned down.
