1. Get only a few bushels-enough
to plant a special seed-corn plot. From
this select the seed for the succeeding
years crop.
3. Pick seed corn in the field when
it is ripe-that is. just before II
feeezes.
.. Pick medium-sized ear--not q
big one. Large ears mean late-matur-

corn SO the ears do not touch
Z. Test your seed early enough 30
that IL your corn does not show good
termination you will have time to get

FARM DEPARTMENT
By G. c. BAKER. County Agent.
TABLE HELPS FEEDERS.

Last season the county agents in
Kentucky we're furnished a table for
the winter feeding OF steers. This
unique table sent out by the Extension
Division OF the College OF Agriculture
which gave the daily proportion of corn
silage. cotton meal, shelled corn
and dry roughage TO be fed 1000
pound steer for 100 days, proved Of
great value to cattle feeders. At a
glance II was possible to know just
how the feed should be balanced and
at what times to make definite in
creases In the ration. The value OF
the table was so well established that
small circular containing such In
formation is being prepared by the
Animal Husbandry Department OF the
College OF Agriculture.
Since the table OF last season was
sent to the county agents, two small
punches OF cattle have been fed and
marketed at the Experiment Station,
These two punches were given exactly
the same feed except that one pen re-
ceived sorghum silage while the other
pen got corn silage. AS this was the
second year OF this experiment in the
feeding OF sorghum silage the new cir
cular will be able to say the following
about the value of sorghum as silage:
TESTS at the Experiment Station
show that sorghum silage compares
quite favorably with corn silage in the
fattening OF steers and for the present
we would recommend that the system
Of feeding be the same where 1t is
employed as where corn sllage Is used.
The county agent hopes that every
feeder of cattle will secure this useful
circular as soon as it Is available.

Now that he ID gone the home ties
are broken. We bid his family SO live
that they may be an undivided family
around Gods throne.
He will be sadly missed as his at
1ictions made him the thought in the
home. Just short time before he died
he requested his family not to grieve
over the loss. He knew this could only
be borne by Divine assistance.
Friday morning the funeral services
were held at the home. afterward the
body was carried by sorrowing friends
to the Jobe graveyard and laid to rest.

ST. LAW RENEE.
Funds Provided for Further Develop
ment of the Property.

1t was learned this week that H. NJ.
Lancaster, Of Saltese, manager Of the
st. Lawrence Copper Mining COM
pany, had been advised by Pittsburg
parties who control the company that
definite arrangements had been made
to meet all obligations of the COM
pany and to carry out the plan of de-
velopment recommended by Mr.. Lam
caster in recent report 1t Is Mr..
Lancaster's opinion that the main
and permanent ore body on the St.
Lawrence lies east of the present
workings and it is proposed now to
drift east from the lower crosscut.
The mine has been closed down for
some time pending the decision of the
ea stern stockholders with respect t.
the managers recommendation, and
their final favorable action insures an
extensive development campaign
The deep snow at the mine, however
may make 1t impracticable to take
supplies in this winter and therefore
make it necessary to postpone opera
tions until spring

less than 800 worth of labor to be
performed, or improvements aggre-
eating such amount to he made each
year, be, and the same Is hereby
suspended as to all mining claims in
the United States, including Alaska,
during the calendar year 1919: pro-
vided, that every claimant of any
such mining claim in order to obtain
the benefits of this resolution shall

STEWARD SELLS OUT.
Pioneer Druggist Retires From Active
Business.

George Steward, the pioneer drug
gst of Wallace, has sold his business
with the exception Of small inter-
est to John o. Greusel and George
Borway, the new owners taking pos
session yesterday. Mr.. Steward es-
tablished drug store in this city in
1890 under the firm name of Steward
Brothers, the brother residing in
southern California. Upon his death
several years ago the business con-
tinued in the name Of George Stew
ard, who now retires after many
years Of active and successful busi-
ness. Mr. Steward came to Wallace
from HALEY, where he had been en-
gagged in the drug business, being one
of the pioneers of the Wood river dis
trict. He expects to remain in Wal
lace for some time closing UP business
affairs and then will probably go to
southern California, although still
calling Wallace his home. MIR. Stew
ards successors are well known In
this city. Mr.. Greusel has been con-
nected with the Steward drug store
for the past five years. Mr.. Borway
was with the Wallace Drug company,
of this city, for 10 years. Both have
a wide acquaintance in the district
and will no doubt maintain the high
standard that has ever characterized
the Steward store.

Manager Reports Striking Fine
Body Of Ore.

Jack White, of the Wallace fire de-
parument, who is stockholder in
the Verrnilion Silver & Lead Mining
company, received letter from R. C.
Carpenter. manager, Monday in
which he stated that fine body of
ore had been struck. This was fully
anticipated, In view OF the splendid
showing of ore in the upper tunnels.
The work Is being done under the di-
rection of William Kittrell, formerly
of this city, who will send Mr.. White
samples of the ore in a few days and
description of the strike In addi-
ton to lead the ore carries high val
ues in silver and some gold, The
striking of this ore evidently assures
an abundance of feed for the mill,
which was completed last year, hav-
ing capacity of 80 tons. The prop
erty is situated on Vermilion creek,
tributary of Trout creek, in Sanders
county, Montana.

IDAHO CLAY DEPOSITS
SUBJECT OF REPORT
FRANK n. SkEElS COMPLETES
HIS INVESTIGATION FOR
THIS YEAR.

Frank H. Skeels, mining engineer
of this city, who has been engaged
during the summer in making an in
of the clay deposits of
Idaho under the direction of the state
bureau of mines and geology and in
cooperation with the United States
bureau of mines, returned from south
Idaho Tuesday evening. The recent
unexpected snow storm forced him to
discontinue his work sooner than an
ticipated, leaving some further in
vestigations that may have to wait
until spring. Mr.. Skeels was at Po-
catello when the storm struck south
Idaho, so he Immediately headed for
home, driving his Hudson speedster
across the state and into Oregon as
far as Baker. There he found the
pass over the Blue mountains effect
ually closed by snow, so he shipped
his car across to Pendleton. From
there he drove to Spokane and thence
tc Wallace, his car probably being the
July canyon this year,
Clay Resources Important.
Mr.. Skeels left Wallace on October
to cover the southern part of the
tions of the north prior to that date
with the exception of cement de-
post near LakeWierw in Bonner coun-
ty, which he will visit next week.
This deposit is of known commercial
value and is now being utilized by a
Spokane company. Mr.. Skeels' in
vestigations in the south started in
Washington county, near Weiser
where he found gypsum deposits of
unusual promise, believed to be
continuation Of the gypsum beds that
have been developed on the Oregon
side of the Snake river, near Hunt
ington. From Weiser Mr.. Skeels
went to Boise, Twin Falls, American
Falls and Pocatello. In Bannock
county he found lime and shale form
ations which are ideally adapted for
tne MANUFACTURE u CcIicHl' fioi''
;Pocatello he intended to go to Teton
county, but was prevented from do
ing so by the storm.
Samples and Report.
Mr. Skeels visited every place in
the state brought to his attention
containing clay deposits of possible
commercial value and took samples
which will be turned over to spe-
cianist In the federal bureau of mines
for analysis. When this work Is
completed a special report will be is
sued by the bureau on the clay re-
sources Of Idaho. Mr.. Skeels will go
to Spokane tomorrow where he will
meet a ceramist, the technical name
for an expert in clay products, who
will analyze and report on the Idaho
samples. Mr.. Skeels Is quite enthus-
ed over the clay resources of the
state, and gives it as his opinion that
Idaho can supply its own needs in all
kinds of clay products, such as fire
brick, tiling, plaster Of Paris panell-
ing, terra Gotta, etc.

THE ALICE UNDER LEASE
MAY SOON Be SHIPPING
BELIEF THAT PRESENT WORK
is BEGINNING OF ExTEN.
SIvE OPERATIONS.

M. Il. Gardner, OF this city, with
several local associates, has taken a
lease on the Alice mine which is sit
uated ON Ruddy gulch, between this
city and Mullan, half mile from the
railroad For the past week or more
Mr.. Gardner has been engaged in
cleaning up, retimbering where ne
cessary and generally getting the
main tunnel level in shape for work.
This work has now been completed
and Mr.. Gardner stated last Saturday
that the ore shoot had been exposed
for several hundred feet, and in one
place there was 3 feet of ore which
cent lead and 40 ounces of silver. For
the present the ore will be roughly
sorted and the finer ore recovered by
two hand jigs. Later if the amount
of ore opened up justifies it the mill
will be utilized, and also the hoist
will be used in delivering the ore
from the mine. The shaft intersects
the tunnel and extends to a depth of
about 700 feet. The hoist and mill
are both in good condition and only
require the installation of motors to
place them in operation The mill
has capacity Of $50 tons. The Alice
is owned by the Alice Mining COM
pany, of which Walter Mckay, of
Portland, is president. James F.
Mccarthy is secretary and treasurer.
Other stockholders are the estate Of
the late Richard Wilson, John Fl.
Foss, of Mullan; F. M. Russell, of
MuElan; c. E. Bender. of Spokane,
and G. w. Ruggles, of Los Angeles.
In addition to the 700-foot shaft, over
5000 feet of development work has
been done. 1t is believed that the
work now started under the lease is
the beginning of plan for the exten-
sive operation of the mine.

Many Applicants.

The first week has witnessed the
employment office crowded every day.
All nationalities are represented In
the throng of applicants, many OF
them being Americans, and taken al
together they appear to be desirable
class of men. All are required to give
an account -of their employment for
three years back, giving the names
and addresses of their employees. With
this data in hand Mr. Edmiston sends
out letters of inquiry to the addresses
given in order to verify the state
ments. Applicants are sent to the
mines without waiting for replies to
these letters Of inquiry, but should a
man be found to have made false rep
reservations in regard to his former
employment, he will not last long on
the Job.

FRISCO LEASERS.
Ship Lead Silver Ore at Rate Of One
Carload Per Month.

Carload Per Month.
O. w. Bass, Elmer Smith, A. A..
Blank and Charles Bonnell, who have
a lease on the old Black Bear ground,
now owned by the Federal company
as part of the Frisco, shipped a car
of ore last week which is expected to
bring them a net return Of 45 per cent
lead and 20 ounces of silver. This is
the second car they have shipped,
the first one running little below
these figures. These leasers found a
nice shoot of ore in the floor of the
old Black Bear tunnel about 10 inches
thick, and upon sinking on 1t few
feet the shoot rapidly widened. 1t
was soon discovered that this ore
could be reached by going down
through an old raise to a depth of
about S5 feet and 1t is in this manner
that the ore Is now being extracted.
The shoot varies in width, probably
averaging about two feet. The leas-
ers are all practical miners and have
had much experience in this line Of
work They expect to be able to ship
carload Of ore per month III the ore
shoot holds it's own, and more If they
should be fortunate in striking a
larger ore body.
