after critically perusing its columns
we pronounce it a credit to the

late Bro. Barber for his enterprise,
which we hope will reward him
with abundant success.
Judge Joseph W. Huston* well
known Idaho jurist, died at Boise,
Sunday, age 72 years. He was a
native of Ohio, and served in the
war as major in the Fourth Michi
gan cavairv. In 1869 he was ap
pointed United States District At

and held the office nine years. In
1890 he was elected a member of
the Idaho Supreme court aud
served ten years in that position.
THE POOR MAN.
A definite statement has been
•made in Wall street that John D.
Rockefeller receives only $28,000
as president of the Standard Oil
company, in which he owns capital
stock to the amount of $40,000.000,
and which has a market value of
$248,000,000. To this statement
is.added another to the effect that
few employees of the Standard Oil
company receive more than $5000
a year. Notwithstanding Mr. Rock
efeller's small salary it is said his
total income is between $38.000,-j
000 and $40,000.000
vestments.

Wood D. Parker, the versatile
editor of the St. Anthony Peak
Chronicle, has had a nice little !
writeup in the last issue of the I

ed to the publishers of the west.
Whil
the article very properly j
describes Mr. Parker as a progrès

greatest achievements of his varied '
of the foremost of Idaho, it neglects
to give him credit for one of the
life. The incident referred to is
his piloting through its initial
encampment in July of last year
the regimental band of the Second
Idahos, without a chevron to dis
tinguish his subordinates or a bit
of gold braid or cord to elevate
him above the noi polloi. Brother
Parker was a credit to the state he 1

served and received the personal
approbation of the United States !

Thanks awfully Brother Mill.
A few hoquets occasionally do a j
fellow a world of good, especially j
one in the newspaper business, j
where kicks, cuffs, curses aud a !
lean stomach are the usual reward !
for working fourteen hours a day 1
for the welfare of the general pub
lic.
If the regimental baud of the
Second Idahos achieved any credit
at the encampment last summer, a
very large portion of that credit is
due to the energy, skill aud patience
of the First Sargent, Bert P. Mill.
Bro. Mill is not only a jim dandy
on an encampment trip but he dis
plays the same energy and ability
in bis newspaper business. He
has made the Idaho Falls Times
one of the brightest, newsiest and
most prominent papers in the state.
The Peak-Chronicle editor is in
receipt of a lett -T from Brother M.
S. Parker, secretary of the Idaho
State Press Association, which is
in part as follows :
Boise. March 26.—I am pleased
to announce that I have about com
pleted arrangements for an excur
sion through the Noithwest. About
June *23 we are to leave Boise for
Portland, where a short stop will,
be made for the association to visit
the exposition. From Portland we
are to go to Seattle, Washington,
Vancouver and V ictoria, B. C.
Another stop will be made in Port
land on the return trip. It is pos
sible the trip will be extended to
take in Sitka, and any of our party
who many desire to visit San Fran
cisco will be furnished the necessa
ry transportation. Side trips will
be made to Oregon City and As
toria. We aie to be extended spec
ial courtesies in the principal cities
we are to visit, and this will be the
most enjoyable trip in the history
of the association.
THAT BOY OF YOURS.
Some wag has gotten off the fol
lowing,says the Peoples' Advocate,
which when read, by any father,
will put him to thinking:
Twenty years hence the boys of
today will be men. They will be
doctors and drunkards, lawyers
and liars, senators aud sneakthie
ves, editors and idiots, ministers and
murderers, democrats and repub
licans, and so on down the line.
It is impossible to tell for certainty
in just what class yours will be,
but it is possible for your boy to be
put in to such influence as will
steer him in the right direction.
Follow the boys for twelve years,
some of them will be in jail. What
class is your boy training for?
This brings to mind the Jsweet
song, "Where is your boy to
night?'' You had better look him
up if you don't know. He may
be one of the few who will go
estray and who, twenty years hence
may serve a sentence in the peni

The past week has been cold
with snow aud rain, and has been
freezing, but at this time the pros

here canvassing for fruit trees, but
lack of water is the great drawback
to planting trees here. Our city
dads do not seem to beqpme inter
ested in this much talked of ques
tion, but the people will probably
take it up Tuesday when they cast
their votes. There is hot much
encouragement to plant trees and
have to water them with a bucket.

PROP
FARMERS
FINDING THEIR
ER PLACE.
Surely the American fermer at the
beginning of 1905 finds himself near
er his proper place than ever before
as a recognized, active factor in help
ing to shape the destiny of his coun
; * ry socially, educationally and politl
cally, as well as materially. This
rapid advancement in recent years of
the once too passive, "man-with-the
I h° e "-l*ke tillers of the soil, occasiou
! ally electrified by politicians to get
j thetr vote8 and other 8Che mers to get
j their money, is due to several causes
! working in unison, and probably the
most effective of these is the agricul
tura i p ress . which, while widening and
j deepening its range of thought, man
a ^ es to furnish its patrons more and
j f ore Experiment stations are doing
and appreciated. We should have
more of them for some experimental
work—one in each county. Agricul
I turai colleges seem to have found out
fteir true mlss|on and are flnding
means for fulfilling that mission in a
proved and more generally recognized
a work of much value to the fanners
and this work is being constantly im
way that will make agriculture in all
its branches a fascinating and profit
able study, enlisting the brightest
minds in a vocation both satisfying
and remunerative.
| . Th , e grange, too, bps found its true
mission, and is now recognized as a
national as well as a local factor In
j bettering the farmers' condition in
every way.
The Farmers' institute, as conduct
ed in several states, sheds its invig

pathway of many farmers whose views
can only be broadened In this way.

ESTABLISHING^ jhog pasture.
The following communication has
tr ", m o one of ° 1 UI read *
" nr ' , °
ers in Illinois: "J am a gardener op
I erating only a small farm. I keep a
few hogs at present. I have no hog
pasture, but in the spring would like
to seed down about four or five acres,
so as to have' range for the sow and
pigs. What kind of grass would you
sow so as to get the best results?"
If it is the intention of our inquirer
to grow a crop of small grain and
take it from the ground before pastur
ing we know of nothing better than
oats. We should iow clover, a little
timothy and two bushels of oats to the
acre in the spring. Prepare the seed
bed well, and sow the clover after the
ground has been harrowed twice and
the oats fairly well in. We use about
five pounds oi timoth;- and eight
pounds of clover. This is a very good
proportion to get good results. We
think it would be liest for early pas
tnrp f° r hogs tc sow some oats thin
and. rape seed. This will give vou
early pasture . and wi „ carry g you n * er
the time from early summer until
your other oa,s cr °P is harvested. As
would ari vise the'sowing o?twopecks
of peas with the rape.

INSTITUTES.
All over the middle West the report
comes to us that there is a great
! awakening among the fermera at tte
! Institutes held so far this winter. 1*
every institute that we have attend
ed they ha.ro been pronounced the
best that we e ever heil, and as th«
institute is becoming better known is
its workings, and covering a wider
field, the results will be much greater
than in the past. The farmers just
now are discussing practical ques
tions, such as farm drainage, rotating
of crops, soil fertility, rood making,
corn breeding, etc. In fact the farm
ers are beginning to awaken to the
fact that they are the people, and it
is in their hands that the great im
provement along these lines is to bs
made. Theory is all right, science to
all right, and when the two are com
bitted with good horse sense and a lit
tle push, together with our rich soil,
it is not easy to realize what the rs
suit may lie.
a
The nrin with clay, sandy or gravel
ly soil need give hut iiute attentioa
to his plows in inter, ro as to kee>
them in good conditioi but woe to the
man with black drift, or alluvial
soil who neglects his plows. Spring
will find him with a plow so rusty that
it will mean a trip to the plow works,
or a half day's scouring in a sand
bank. Better get your head to work
ing now and look after all steel tools
that they are properly greased. It wiH

' WINTER 8PRAYING.
The spraying of fruit trees during
the winter should not be neglected,
says American Cultivator. Before the
leaves start the trunk and every
branch of the tree should be wel
sprayed with a solution of one pound
of copper sulphate in twenty-five gal
lons of water to check scab, coddling
moth, bird moth, tent caterpillar, ca»
ker worm, plum curculic and San Joaa
scale on apple trees, to be followed
lip after the blossoms fall by the rege
lar bordeaux mixture of four pounds
i eac * 1 °f sulphate of copper and lima
to fifty gallons of water. Some prefer
to use six pounds sulphate of copper
instead of four pounds, but we are not
sure that this is any better than the
a
r
* | field to hustle for himself, and yo»
...... - —
other, while for peach trees that hav*
put out their leaves the use of three
pounds of sulphate of copper to six
or nine pounds of lime is thought
strong enough for fifty gallons of
water. But we are now speaking of
a winter spray before the leaves come
out. The mixture of fifty pounito
each of lime, salt and flowers of sul
phur is used on the Pacific coast for
San Jose scale, but in our Easter»
climate it does not seem to be as ef
fectual. as the frequent rains wash k
off. A mixture of pure lime made m
a thin whitewash and used on peach
trees two or three times In the winter
has been recommended as a spray
that will keep the leaves and buds
from starting early enough to be kll
ed by the spring frosts.
The first winter Is a trying time for
the colt. Don't neglect him and don't
forget liberal feeding is necessary to
growth and development. And la
feeding don't forget that bone and
muscle forming foods, as oats, braa
and perhaps a little alfalfa hay, should
predominate, indeed this should bo
