they become bloated. The only
wnv TO relieve them when in this
condition is to make an incision
with knife between the ribs. This
let's out the air and the ineision
rapidly heals up. But cattle are
about the only animals that never
learn anything from experience,
and as soon as their lives are
rescued from the bloat, they plunge
headlong into the FIRST alfalfa patch
they can find. If the incision from
the bloat is not entirely healed up,
the opening thus left acts as an
escape valve, and the cattle can
then eat alfalfa with impunity. As
to whether the incisinn is entirely
closed, or whether it operates as an
escape valve can easily be detected
by the whistling of the air through
the incieion. This discovery has
led to a new invention. Everybody
knows what musical genius our
friend Duffy is-he is now foreman
for the O. P. johnson herd. The
inimitable Duffy conceived the idea
of utilizing the whistle produced
by the escape valve. To this end
he made large number of whistles
out of willows that grow abund-
antly along the streams. These
whistles are of different sizes and
range along the musical scale from
high G to low G. He then inserts
these whistles in the escape valves
of the cows that are bloated, and
the result is that he has peram-
balating Cow ealliope." It is a
very inspiring sight, nowadays,
along the river, to see herd of
cows, each as big as an emigrant
wagon, reveling in a patch of
alfalfa, their heads buried deep in
the grass, their tails standing
straight out and all the time the
willow whistles are footing the
melancholy air, when the Cows

Ibe state Cares.

The state equalization board
have completed their labors and
the following result has been OBJ
tanned:
The increase IN assessment Of
cattle was $253,7S2. Sheep, in.
crease, $s54,166. Horses, decrease,
1o1,658. The total assessment Of
the state, for 1897, is $29, 800, 49s.
For 1896 it was $29, lO9,041. In
crease, 1921, 457.
The tax levied by the legislature
for 1897 and '98 is $2a3,ooo FOR
each year. This is equivalent to
about S4.5 cents on the hundred
dollars Of valuation.

According to the assessors re-

state Subject to taxation, one il led
TO believe that we haye the best
wool producing sheep in the world.
It has been figured out, judging by
the assessment, that Idaho wool
growers get about fifty pounds to a
fleece on an average. This is about
$5 per head for wool alone, to say
nothing Of the increase. No won

big, that lots Of people would rather
believe there was something rotten
IN our assessment returns than
that the sheep were 80 wonderfully

The EXAMINER has been accused
Of uplolding Deputy Neibaur in
his attack on Wallis. This is a
mistake this far, that the deputy,
if be felt aggrieyed to the extent
that it now seems he was, ought
not to have gone to Editor Wallis
office, but rather have stopped him
in the street. and after hopping up
the dirt for two or three blocks
with him, gone on his way. This
method would haye been more dig
ni6ed and served the same end in
the long run. So many versions of
the affair have been told, that it is
hard to judge, after hearing both
sides, just how much each one of
the participants is to blame. If
the editors friends tell the right
story, Joe is in the wrong, while.
j the deputy's adherents have the
right tip, he was justified in taking
some action; so there you are.

During The meeting of the state
board of equalization held at Boise
last Saturday Treasurer Storer
made a melton that the assessment
of the main lines of the Short Line
be fixeG, at $4,000 mile, except
ing that portion north of Poeatello,
which should be assessed at $4,000.
and that branches be assessed at
$4,000. It was explained that the
rolling stock was largely credited
to the main line from Granger to
Huntingdon and that the improve.
ments at Pocatello also went with
that part Of the system. A COM
.pntation showed that the rolling
stock on the main line was 1914 a
mile, while on the Utah Northern
was only S412 a mile. The Poea-
tello mprovements made the diff
ference IN favor of the main line Of
the Short Line nearly $1,000 a
