Hay differs greatly in weight and
quality. Ripe timothy hay is the
heaviest, about .400 cnbio feet, well
packed, being etimatetd as weighing
ton. If cnt when in blossom a ton
will take up alxrat 480 cubic feet.
Mixed with clover a ton will vary from
450 to 500 cubic feet. Clover hay re
quires about 650 cubic feet to a ton.
Of pea vine hay about 800 cubie feet
make a ton. About 700 cubio feet of
meadow hay is the estimate for a ton.
These estimates are not . strictly reli
able, however, as something depends
upon how closely the hay is pressed in
the stack or mow. .. .

The ground cannot be made too rich
for gooseberries and currants, and any
extra attention given them the first
year will have its effect for year after,
as a good start is an advantage. Plant
in rows four feet apart, cultivate
thoroughly, and then mulch. Cutting
out the old wood should not be over
looked. It is not difficult to get large
yields of fruit when the soil is rich
and the cultivation is thoiough. .
n boiling meat for soup put cold
water to it and let it coma slowly to a

TV.lt.m Itat.a.
The mines owned by the War Eagle
Consolidated - Mining Company on
Shaw's mountain are growing better
and better as development progresses,
says the Boise Statesman. The Mc
Carthy property is now producing some
very rich ore; specimens showing gold
in large quantities.
In the Paymaster, alter following
the ore chute some 800 feet, the man
agement determined to open stopes
preparatory to starting the mill; Five
upraises were started for this purpose
and in every one of them the vein is
far better than in the level. It is
about six feet wide, and there is four
and a half foet of ore that runs close to
1 10 a ton.
Altogether the outlook for this group
is most encouraging. All that was ex
pected was to open a good property.
but it now looks as though it would
turn out to be a bonansa.
Work on the concentrating mill is
progressing rapidly and it is hoped to
have the plant ready to run by the
Fourth of July. It will be a novel
sight to see that mill in operation.
There is no other plant like it in the
West.
V .':'' J Iron Dyke Bold.
The famous Iron Dyke mine, on
Snake river, has been sold for 135,000,
says the Cuprum, Idaho, Standard.
Mr. Charles M. Reed, of Erie, Pa.,
was the purchaser. The debts of the
former owners of this mine, the North
west Copper Company, amounted to
about 165,000, which leaves $30,000
above the indebtedness. This insures
the payment of all the company owes,
and will place several thousand dollars
in circulation here. Mr. Reed is very
wealthy, and now that he has gotten
the other members out of the company
will no doubt prosecute development
work as rapidly as possible.
Buffalo Hump.
Charles Sweeney and his associates
have returned from Buffalo Hump,
where they have been inspecting their

ing reatares of Trade.
Rmdstreet'i says: Readjustment of
price quotations to meet the changed
condition of supply and demand are
still the leading features of the general
trade. In volume the business doing
is of a betweenaoaon character, im
provement in some lines being counter
balanced by Increased dullness in other
branches. ' That the basic conditions of
the trade are in the main of a favorable
nature, however, is proved by the con-

to be that the volume of business offer
ed the transportation interest of the
country continues considerably in ex
cess of a year ago. Crop reports are
relatively most favorable as regard
corn and oats. In the Southwest,
wheat crop prospects are still main
tained at a high average. In the
Northwest wheat has been helped by
late rains, but owing to their late ar
rival it is not certain how much .bene
fit was obtained thereby.
The hand-to-mouth domestio demand
for iron and steel continues, but the
number of small orders received
Southern pig and steel rails note
most inquiry. The situation in the
pipe market is no better, and plates are
weaker. Concessions of fractions of a
dollar are apparently easily obtained
for pig iron, but throughout the trade
the feeling Is rather more cheerful, the
feeling being that lower prices will on
the one baud encourage consumptive
demands, and, on the other hand, tend
to restrict production by less economi
cal plants.

THROW DICE FOR PUNISHMENT.
Two Boldlera ta the Philippine. Vae the
Bone to 8ca Who la to Buffer.
"I was in the Philippines about thre
month ago," aald the Chicago agent of
a well-known tea house, "and saw th
queerest throw of dice I ever saw la my
life. Two soldier bad been court-martialed
for getting drunk and assaulting
their superior officer about the gravest
offense a subordinate can commit Be
ing after dark, the officer didu't know
which one It was. Neither did they, nor
much of anything else that happened
about that time. But the court insisted
that for the sake of discipline one of
them must be punished. It was hard
Hue. For they were really not bad
young fellow and everybody was sorry
for them. Each wa willing to take
the penalty and let the other on off.
But that wouldn't do, so It was finally
agreed that they should throw the die
for It
"The first one that took them shook
them hard and turned them out Fir
and two! The second man followed
ult HI were Are and two. Then the
first poured out a six and five. Six and
five came out for the other. You should
have just heard the shout and bets.
Then the first oue threw again. Two
and three! And two and three showed
up for the" second soldier. This waa
getting Interesting.' 'Ace!' said the
first 'Aces!' cried the second. The ex
citement wa tremendous. Everybody
crowded Into the room anxlou to get
a sight at the miraculous performance.
"They all held their breath. The sol
dlor whose throw It was gave the bone
an extra shake. Out tumbled four and
three. The second on pounded and
hook enough to have worn the spot
off of 'em. No use. Three and fourl
The Devil's in 'em.' 'I can't get used
to that gamer They're loaded all
around,' exclaimed the crowd."
Here the tea agent paused and rose
to go away.
"But how did they come out finally T"
everybody asked, wrought up to lnten
est curiosity."
"Oh, out of the box. I s'pose, like
they did before," calmly explained the
agent "You see, the steamer for Hono
lulu was whistling for the last time and
I had to come away before the thing
was settled. They may be at It yet for
all I know." Chicago Chronicle.

"Many persons, seeing me so much

on earth do you contrive to do so much
workf 1 shall surprise you by the
nswer I made. It was this: 'I con
trive to do so much work by never do
ing too much at a time.'
"Now, since I began really and earn
estly to study, which waa not tilt I had
left the college, and was actually In th
world, I may perhaps say that I have
gone through a large a course of gen
eral reading a most men of my time.
I have traveled much and I have seen
much; I have mixed much in politic,
and beside all this, I have published
somewhere about sixty volumes. And
yet what time do yon thing, a a gen

reading and writing? Not more than
three hour a day. But then, during
these three hour I have given my
whole attention to what I wa about

best result tbe salt should b very
finely ground.
