the other fair years before that he
was on hand taking a hand in amuse-
ments for the populace, but he US
ually engineered a fine dance hall
and II was rather difficult for him to
do justice to that and serve on the
board. 1t was a mans job to keep
up with the work of the fair and let
everything else go. Mr.. Buchanan
has always been a mediator between
the two extremest--the one that
wanted no dancing at all, and those
that did not want 1t carried too far
or too lively. He tried to give the
young folks good time in an inno-
cent recreation and give them a good
chance to go home at midnight. OF
course, he could not see that they all
went straight home and some people
blamed him for ony extending his
control over them while at his
building.
Mr.. Buchanan dealt in vehicles for
a long time, for Studebakers, and
when they went out of business in
Blackfoot he kept on handling We
hicles, the kind that used to be
dubbed "horseless carriages, and he
has some fine ones.

car. When rubber-tired buggies
were invented, he rode in them. He
was quite q lover OF horses when
they were in vogue, and II they
should ever come into fashion again,
he would find some way to have a
few Of them around, There was q
period when the town of Blackfoot
was in the knee-pant stage, that Mr..
Thomas was the plutocratic, mono
polistic owner of all the livery
stables In town. And no matter
which stable a customer entered, to
get his team kept over night, fed,
watered and sheltered, he would
have to pay the good, round sum of
SO cents q span. 1t was no use to
kick, for that was the price. They
might get them turned into an open
field at George Benjaman's or Robert
Shannon's, out the country, and
the bill would be only two-bits for
the two, but Mr.. Thomas men
charged so cents at the stables, and
they never liked to. take orders on
Bunting & Co., payable in the fall.
They much preferred thu cash.

MORE SEED CONDEMNED

Laboratory analysis in the office Of
the, state seed commissioner. from
January /, 1918 to January l, 1919
shows that 46.5 per cent of the
alfalfa, 29.5 per cent of the red
clover, 44.5 per cent of the white
clover and 24.5 per cent of the alsike
clover samples submitted for test
were condemned. OF these con-
demned samples, 80 per cent were re-
jected because of the presence Of
dodder. B. F. Sheehan field agrono-
list of the university extension divi-
sion, who is also state seed commits
sioner, says dodder is 1.-THE worse
weed that can get into alfalfa and
clover fields" In 1916, only 21.3
per cent of the alfalfa samples were
condemned. To prevent the grades
of Idaho seed from deteriorating, Mr..
Sheehan urges that farmers send in
their seed for test.

SOMETHING JOB NEVER DID
Possibly an Experience Like Mr..
Browns Would Have Shattered
His Reputation for Patience.

Filled with pride, Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown started out for drive in
their new motorcar. Mrs. Brown
was hoping the neighbors were watch
ing, but her husband was too busy
steering to hope about anything.
Alack! Before they reached the
end of the road the car stopped,
and stayed that way with mule
like persistency. Mr.. Brown tried
every lever and handle in turn. Then
he got down from his seat and began
to investigate.
Presently he lay down and crawled
underneath the car until only his
number mines were left visible. In a
few moments the car gave sudden
Jolt and then stopped, and a terrible
flow of language, more forcible than
polite, became audible.
"Oh, john" exclaimed the wife, in
Mortified tones, don't swear so Have
patience, like Job did"
Job" shrieked Mr.. Brown, in
stifed voice. Job would have sworn,
too, If he'd been underneath this
beastly car with his mustache caught
in cogwheel."

1t is generally agreed that If food
costs are to be lowered a more eco
nomical system of distribution of farm
products must be perfected and placed
In practical use.
Standardization, say experts Of the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture, is the essen
tial basis for such a system. This
means not only standard grades for
fruits and vegetables, but standards
for the containers in which they are
packed.
Should Sell by Weight.
The bureau of markets is charged
with the enforcement Of the United
States standard container act which
provides only for standard capacities
for grape and berry baskets used in
interstate commerce. The application
Of this law has resulted in the wide
spread use Of these containers in in
trastate commerce also, for shippers
have come to appreciate the benefits
derived from the use Of uniform
methods Of marketing such fruits.
Standardization of larger shipping
containers, such as hampers and
round-stave baskets, is equally desir-
able, say the bureaus experts. Of
course the best method is to sell prod
uce by the pound, but where 1t is i'm
practicable to sell by weight uniform
containers should be used. Bushel
baskets Of peaches from Georgia and
Colorado should contain the same
quantity of peaches. The same is true
of any other food commodity shipped
In hampers or baskets.
An illustration Of how the present
methods result in dissatisfaction is
the case Of Florida producer who re-
Gently shipped potatoes to the New
York market in container with
which the trade was not familiar. AL
though the potatoes were Of high quail
ity difficulty was experienced in dis
posing Of them. When they were
finally sold the price was considerably

Three men about town had a very

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

lower per pound than that commanded
by potatoes packed in the customary
| manner.
At present there are about fifty
types of hampers and over twenty
sizes of round-stave baskets in use.
Many of these sizes are simply the
Outgrowth of custom in various ship
ping localities; others are used for the
express purpose of deception. And
aside from the confusion and uncer-
tainty that result from the use of doz-
ems Of different kinds Of containers
millions of dollars are annually lost
through destruction of produce In
transit on account of the weak con-
struction of the containers used.
Would Eeduce Number Of Containers.
Many large growers, shippers and
basket manufacturers appreciate the
deslrability of reducing the number OF
these containers, and nationwide
movement is on foot to eliminate
many of them. Cooperative selling
organizations are already doing much
to promote uniformity and standardi-
zation. 1t means money to them not
only because of the familiarity Of the
trade with the containers used but In
permitting methods of loading into
cars that reduce the likelihood OF
breakage to a minimum.
After a careful canvass of the STU
alton the bureau of markets believes.
and in this those who have studied the
problem are Of the same opinion, that
five standard hampers and four stand
ard round-stave baskets are sufficient
to meet all shipping requirements. The
specifications provide for volume. d.
mansions or shape and strength. In
addition to the advantages of uniform
ity the adoption Of these sizes will
enable the railroads to work out load
ing rules that will permit of a more
intensive utilization of car space, and
which will be bound to reduce to
minimum claims on account Of dam
age in transit.

THlCKEN STAND OF ALFALFA |
Labor involved and Cost of Seed Is
Little Compared With Flowing
and Reseeding.

While it is not always possible to
thicken a thin stand of alfalfa, the la
Dor involved and the cost of seed is
little as compared with blowing and
reseeding entirely, which makes a
trial we'll worth while. 1t is worth try
ing if the old plants are hardy and
vigorous, indicating favorable soil con-
ditions. If the old plants are weak
1t is well to learn the difficulty before
spending more money and time to get
a stand.

RIDING LAND OF THlSTLEs
Alfalfa Is Excellent Crop as It Is Cut

Alfalfa is splendid crop to rid land

and the Canada thistles will soon be-

three times a year, so this is a good

INCREASED NUMBER OF EGGS
Ten Hens Given Abundance of Room
Will Lay More Than Twenty In
Crowded Enclosure.

1t has been shown that ten hens in
house that gives them plenty of room
will lay more eggs than 20 hens that
are crowded; hence, one not only gets
fewer eggs when there are too many
hens together, but the cost of the food
is greater and the amount of the work
is increased.
