The work was taken up by the de-
suits are too uncertain to give re-
partment when it becomes evident
that the farmers were feeling the in
justice of transaction wherein they
sold whole cowhide for less than
they paid out for a pair of work
shoes-an occurrence not at all I'M
usual. Investigation shows that the
leather dealer is not entirely to blame
for the low prices that the farmer re-
ceives for his hides. Too often the
hide from. the farm COW is taken off
in careless manner that leaves the
skin full of cuts and holes-farm hides
are never as uniform as those bought
from the packing houses, where the
animals are carefully graded and the
skins removed by expert SINNERS.
For that reason the hide buyer is al
ways willing to pay more for the
packers product than he can offer the
farmer.
Then, too, the farmer sells his cow
hide to the junk dealer, who deducts
his profit from the price he paws.
Whenever it is possible to collect
number of hides and skins it will paw
the owner to deal directly with a
large dealer, the specialists say.

The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patrolled and no hole
of any size is allowed to 20 unre-

at convenient points along the road
for the use of the patrolman From
relatively small investment in ad-
mittedly low-type road it builds up a

HOME TANNED HIDES GIVE
FARMERS UNCERTAIN PROFIT

Apparently it doesn't pay the farm
err to tan his own leather. The bu-
reau of chemistry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, is conducting
leather-making experiments upon the
scale to which the average farmer
would have to adjust his work, and
specialists say that the results OBJ
tanned thus far do not warrant general
practice. Good leather can be made
in individual tanneries, but the re-

PLACE FOR HENS IN WINTER
Range II Maximum Ego Pro-
!! duction Is Expected.

For maximum egg production during
the winter months the hens must not
be allowed outside range but must be
confined to quarters. says T. s. Towns
ley, OF the University Of Missouri col
lege Of agriculture. The poultry keep
ers who get the best egg production
during the winter months shut their
hens in their houses as soon as the
weather gets bad in the fall and keep
them in until spring comes. If the
birds are allowed to run at large dur
ing the winter months they will spend
most of The time standing around be-
hind buildings and other windbreaks
trying to keep warm when they had
much better be in the poultry house
scratching for feed. Turning the
birds out even on pleasant days dur
ing the winter months will cause
slumps in the egg production. This is
probably due to the fact that when the
birds get outside the ground is cold
and wet and this produces enough
shock to affect the production of the
birds. II the hens are. to be kept in
side for several months the poultry
house must not be overcrowded. Each
hen should have at least two and n
half or three square feet of floor space.
Some attention is necessary with birds
that are confined, to ins,!re plenty Of
exercise. One method of providing
exercise Is by feeding all grain in a
straw litter covering the entire floor

Little patches OF Jim Hill mus
tard are beginning to crop out in
various parts Of the Potlatch
country, especially around the
bench farms. Several farmers have
stated that some of the alfalfa hay
that was shipped here contained
Jim Hill mustard as WE'LL as
Russian thistle. As the hay was
generally distributed throughout
the community it may result in
getting some of these weed pests
started here. Rats were unknown
here a few years ago but now they
are quite plentiful. 1t is believed
they were shipped from the coast
to Lewiston in river steamers and
were then brought here IN grain
cars. This country has been gen.
orally free from noxious weeds and
pests until the practice of import
ing hay and grain started.

One source of failure is that TOO
many follow it as speculation rather
than as business. They plunge on
hogs Just as they would gamble on
grain futures or ON the stock market.
Operations of this character are never
beneficial for any business. Because
of the recent decline in the hog mar
ket it does lot necessarily follow that
the selling price of the pigs that Will
be raised from the sows bred this fall
will not be satisfactory. The pigs OF
this fall will not be ready for year
and untold changes may come about.
Every farmer who is conservative,
careful, and painstaking in his hog
raising operations is able after few
years of experimentation to determine
approximately the maximum and MIN
imum number of sows that he can
maintain on his farm at the greatest
net profit. When he has accurately
ascertained this number he should
breed that many sows every year,
other conditions being equal. In adj
herring to this plan the farmer is, in
no sense, a Spectator. but is in real

prepared by the United States Depart

Recent heavy slumps in the hog
market, as well as the high prices OF
corn, have caused hog raisers in va
rious parts Of the country to reduce
the number of sows in their herds, ac-
cording to reports received. But hog
raising on the farm should be made q
stable, regular business, department
specialists believe. The man begin
ming to raise hogs should resolve to
follow it year in and year out, regard
less of the price he may obtain for his
hogs or the cost of the feed which he
converts into pork. Like every other
farming activity, pork production has
its uns and downs. hut, according t.

Act Of Congress Of March. 1879.

One of the outstanding features
of the Kendrick stores is that they
positively do not use fake methods
to secure trade. They use conser-
vatiye business methods and their
prices are more often lower because
they have never been inflated.
Kendrick is the natural shopping
center Of the Potlatch and the in
creasing volume of business being
done here is the best indication pos
sible that the people appreciate the
service they are getting. 1t is
mutual service when we do all of
our trading at home.

Wasteful Practice to Put Hioh-Priced
Logs to Ordinary Use on Farm
Much Pine, yellow Poplar and
Cotton Wood Used for Pulp.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
An understanding Of the elementary
principles of farm forestry will en-
able the farmer to market his timber
far more profitably than 1t is done on
the average farm. In the Southern
states, and in many other sections OF
the country as well, high-grade logs
of such trees as white oak, yellow pop
lar, red gum, ash, cherry, and black
walnut can usually be sold in carload
lots direct to manufacturing plants,
even though these are located at some
distance. Many local log-using plants
buy in lots as small as a wagon or
truck load. In the South clear logs
of white oak and yellow poplar 16
inches and up in diameter are most
prof1tably sold to sawmill plants es-
pecially equipped for quartering and
veneering woods. High prices at load
ing points make it wasteful to put
such logs to ordinary use at home,
Paper Pulp Wood.
Large quantities of pine are cut and
sold by southern farmers for paper
pulp wood. Yellow poplar and cot
tonwood, red gum, tupelo and othess
in less amounts are used for the same
purpose, according to forestry special
lists. The wood must be pealed and
is usually marketed in 4-foot lengths
and 3 to 10 inches in diameter. Pulp
wood Is sold by the cord, and the
prices usually range from about 81 to
So for pine and from IS to 50 for
poplar, cottonwood. etc.
Farm Timber Product.
Railroad ties have long been a
standard farm timber product. AS a
rule, however, the price represents
only fair wages for cutting, hewing,
and hauling. with little return for the
timber itself. For example, tie Z
inches by inches by Sh feet long, If
sold at so cents, when the items in the
cost of manufacture are taken into
account, would have a value equiva-
lent to the same amount Of lumber
valued at $3.50 a thousand board
feet. This is low figure for white
oak. 1t is often mistake to cut a
young tree for one small tie. when
in a short time the tree could produce
two ties.

'0AKLANDS AND NASH CARS KEEP
 MATTICE BUSY
Pleasure Cars and Trucks Handled By Stratford
 Avenue Dealer

The strongest endorsement that can be given any motor car is to say that, year after year, by means of logical improvements of design and methods of construction, 1t maintains its lead ership in an industry of rapid devel- opment, and even increases the strength of its position as the most popular car of its type.
 The Oakland Sensible Six of today is fundamentally the same car which was first introduced over four years ago, which set a new standard of value in cars of medium cost, and which is now in the service of over 100000 satisfied owners.
 Thus it has the invaluable charac- teristic of proved quality and widely endorsed merit-yet with no radical departure from the sound principles of design which gave 1t the name of 'ssensible Six, this car continues to hold it's place as the leader in high grade, practical passenger transporta- ton.
 In addition to the agency for the Oakland, John c. Mattice, of No. 2s5- 237 Startford avenue. also has the I agency for the Nash cars, both pleas ] ure and trucks. The Nash trucks con- sist of one and two ton rear driven truck and the famous Nash Quad which drives and brakes on all foul wheels. The fact that the Nash Quad steers on all four wheels enables f

 The three-point cantilever springs create a riding buoyancy in the Over land which cannot be eQualled in any other car in the country, the car rid ing as well on a rough road as on a bumpy, rutted one.
 In addition to the light weight and spring action, both tending toward economy of gasoline, another ad- vantage of the Overland is the ac- possibility of it's parts. The design of the Overland makes adjustments and any needed repairs far easier than in other types of machines where the parts are almost inaccessible and re- quire a considerable longer time to adjust and regulate.
 In Bridgeport the Overland Is handled by the Overland McCracken Co. of 499 John street and their salesrooms prove one of the most at tractive places in the city to prospec- tive buyers.
