For these they received $15.10, with which they bought a flag for the school and a framed picture for their own room. New hyloplate blackboards have recently been added to the equipment of this school. The Westfall school closes this week. The teachers, Mrs. Jacobs and Miss Orcutt, have given splendid satisfaction. The regular year's work outlined for nine months has been covered pretty thoroughly in the seven months' term. Spring work on the ranches in the vicinity of Westfall has caused a good deal of absence on the part of the pupils in the upper grades. The Dry Gulch school closed Fri day, March 26. A number of visitors were entertained by the school and all enjoyed a pleasant time. IRRIGATORS MEET AT NEW PLYMOUTH The Directors of The Farmers' Co operative Irrigation Company held their regular meeting here Saturday, all members of the board being pres ent. Water will be turned into the canal April luth, which means that water for irrigation purposes will be available on the 15th. C W. White and J. S. Thorp, representing the set tiers and non-resident land owners of a large tract of land comprising something like 8000 acres, lying be tween the Farmers' ditch and Nyssa appeared before the board for the purpose of ascertaining if watei could be purchased for the irrigation of this tract of land. Mr. White stat ed that it was the intention of the farmers to bond their land 'or the purpose of securing water and that in the neighborhood of 4000 inches would be needed, also that a sixty foot lift would be necessary to raise the water into the proposed pipe line No definite answer was given Mr. White, the board pointing out that the matter would of necessity have to come before the stockholders of the company. The Farmers' Co-Opera tive Irrigation Company have a prioi right to 20,000 inches of water from the Payette river, and as they art now only using about 14,000 inches the amount needed for the irrigation of the lands lying south and east of the Snake river could be furnished One of the board upon being inter viewed by a correspondent of the Argus, stated that he was of the opinion some satisfactory arrange ment would be made to furnish the water. Should this be the case the ditch would have to be strengthened and enlarged at some points, at a cost of approximately $10,000. It U expected that a special meeting of the stockholders will be called to con sider the matter. Alfalfa For Pasture.

LIVESTOCK ON THE EARM A number of yearn ago n North Da kota wheat fanner, whose exclusive grain growing had put hliu deep in debt, desired from his bank H loan of fl.uio, writes J. C. McDowell In the Kansas Farmer. Kxcept tbo horses there was no live stock -not a cow, a pig or even a chicken -uu the pluce. The banker, a very shrewd busluess mail, was able to analyse the problem uud to discover the cause of the farm r's financial dlmYultlex, and he ugreed to make the loan ouly ou coudltlon that the borrower chuuge his system of furmlug. The system outllued by the Imnker required that u iortlou of the loan should be used to purchase two cows, half a doseu pigs uud a small dock of poultry. It also provided for a fulr slxed vegetable gHrden. Grain farming was to be continued as before. Tbe banker figured that the live stock ami tbe garden would. In poor us well as In good seasons, fully support the f.ini.,-1 h table. He lift-red thst In p'Mir years the farmer would be able to play even and that In the good, and even In the average yeur, the furui would produce enough to gradually wipe out the debt The farmer reluctantly agreed to the banker's terms, received the loun uml met the condition. In tlve yeurs he was out of debt and ruled us a sub stantial anil prosperous farmer and business man. To htm farming had ceased to U- a .nine of chunre uud hud become u business. TO IMPROVE THE FRUIT. Thinning Advissd For Thoso Who Want Product of High Quality. To muuy It Is a wuste of time and labor to thlu fruit trees, but with few exceptions It should be done. When the tree bears a light crop Utile thin ning Is necessary, but Bluett most trees bear too mueh It Is necessary to thin them to obtain fruit of pn.p.-r quantity and quultty. The purpose of thinning Is to secure lurge, healthy, well flavored fruit in culling out the knotty, diseased, til flavored ones. In order to prevent wuste. feed the culls to hogs and poultry. Culling out can be gauged by no fast rale. It Is seldom overdone stuce the fruit grows fast up to harvest time. It Is best to pull each wormy uud blight ed fruit. Such fruit will either drop from tbe tree before picking or prove worthlesa for storage or marketing. Thinning will also prevent good fruit from contamination. In addition, the remaining fruit bus a greater chance of development because the tree U not called upon to nourish those Infested. Tbe fruit produced from trees that bars been thinned Is of far su(erlor quality. Americau Agriculturist. FARM WISDOM.

Cooling uud turning the eggs In the incubator is a pun of the work thut must bo attended to promptly, regu larly, writes W. C. Thompson lu the Country Geutlemun. Tbe mother beu turns her eggs lu the nest eucb day uud leuves them to cool ut ubout the same time each day If she hus her wuy ubout It. After the third day of the hutch the eggs should be turned regu larly euch morning uud evening. This may be done by removing a few uud gently rolling the others ubout lu the tray.

The eggs should be cooled ouce s day. Mm t on the third duy. when the eggs ii re Hi si turned. It Is ijiHessnry to cool them ouly the length of time thut It takes to turn them. From the third day to the nineteenth day they should be cooked regularly.
