one of the most beautiful and in

the canon in all its grandeur sud
denly opens before us, and for
twenty miles the ride is one con.
tinuous panorama, colored and
blended as only nature can.
As the scroll unrolls with the
bends of the river, each new
wall, column and spire seems to
rise heavenward higher, and
each new picture rivals in beauty
and coloring the one just passed.
The general effect is a com
mingling of ancient Egyptian
art and architecture, with that
of medieval and modern times:
for here are suggestions of the
Sphinx, obelisk and pyramid,
there, the bastions, buttresses,
walls, towers and turrets of the
baronial castle, while those tow
ering blocks of sandstone and
granite remind us of the modern
sky scraper.

program, when they find the
price of wheat, oats, corn anC
cotton declining and the cost oil

where does the boosted protec
ton to agriculture come in under
the present protective tariff and
how are farmers protected, al
though the tariff law provides
that 25 cents a bushel on wheat

collected on imports The price
of wheat is now lower than it
has been for ten years or since
the present tariff law was en-

Those farmers, who are Re

their products, that some method
of raising the price of cereals
and keeping them stable should
Offset trust high prices.
The fact is, however, that no
tariff can protect the farmer on
his products, of which the sur
plus must be sold abroad, as the
price paid by the foreigners for
that surplus fixes the price here.
The only relief the farmer can
receive is to be able to buy in
the cheapest market and this he
can never do as long as the

competition. 1t is plain there
fore that the farmer who votes
for a Republican Congressman
and for Republican candidates
for the Legislature, who in turn
will elect Republican senator's, is
voting to continue the protection
to the trusts and for high pric-
es, with no protection to help
the price of his own products.

WILD HORSES.

Word comes from Salt Lake
that F. T. G. Mckenzie of Oma
ha, and George Prentiss of Chey.
enne, Wyo., two canny Scotch
men, who have extensive ranch.
ing interests in Wyoming, own
ing a 5000 acre cattle ranch, the
Belle Fourche, under the shadow
of the DEVILS Tower on the Belle
Fourche river, are in the market
for wild horses in this part of
the world. 1t is announced that
these two men will buy all the
wild houses and cattle offered.
1t is a fact not generally
known, but fact nevertheless,
that there are immense numbers
of wild horses in eastern Idaho.
The illimitable lava plains lying
between the sinks of Big and
Little Lost rivers, in Bingham,
Fremont and Lincoln counties,
are overrun with such animals.
The origin of these wild hors-
es is more or less shrouded in
Recently an interest
ing story went the rounds of the
northwestern press regarding
the supposed source of the nags.
The story goes
Many years ago an Ohio man
embarked in the horse and dog
show business. In his outfit
were eight imported Arabian
horses of almost pure blood,
royal spirit and great beauty.
From place to place through
the west the Snowman journeyed
with varying success, until he
reached Spokane, Wash. There
the financial collopse came and
his property was sold.
Purchased in one lot by a
the Arabians were
sent to his place in Douglass
county. Twelve years ago the
barn in which they were shelter
ed burned and the frightened
animals fed headlong into the
and prairies.
Since then they have run wild
and increased amazingly in num-
bers. They have always kept
and, SO far as known,
have never affiliated with the
numerous other bands of wild
horses in that region.
Because of their their uniform
lapple gray color and the
straightway runs from danger
that they made, this lot for
years has been known as the
Wild Goose band, and many I'M
attempts have been
made to corral them. Their
great speed has always enabled
hem to outstrip the fastest
horses that the pursuers could
put upon their trail.
1t is assumed that the horses,
II at least contingent of them,
somehow to get over
he Salmon river mountains into
EASTERN Idaho. 1t is a fact, how
yer, that there are large numb
rs of them in this region.
Not long ago a hunt was or
,anized in Douglas county to
ound up these fleet-footed des-
endants of the Arabians. The
.emand for horses promised
arge returns, but it was found

The owners Of cows in general are
afraid Of high prices for high class
cows. The average farmer and dairy
man holds the idea that he can afford
to own only average" cows. He fig
ures out somehow that he must judge
q cows value not from what she really
can earn, but from the amount of
money he thinks he can afford to pay
for her. 1t has been repeated over and
over that the milk producer cannot az
ford one kind of COW and that one the
small yield COW. Along with this it
has been repeated that the producer
can afford the high yield COW at any
price within her earning capacity as a
yielder Of milk and butter A dairy
cow is worth just what she will pro-
duce for her owner
At the present price of butter til,
cow making 325 pounds of butter is
worth $50, the COW that makes $40
pounds of butter is worth $40, and the
COW that makes 400 pounds of butter
Is worth $50

actly in accordance with the teachings

In spite Of some recent experiments
by the Geneva experiment station i be-
lieve one of the most frequent eau es
of streaks I'm butter is due to lack OF i
thorough distribution and dissolving
of the salt, writes e. Van Alstyne in
Rural New Yorker If the weather is
cold and the salt 10 to 20 degrees COLI
er than the butter 1t will be very slow
to dissolve, and so, being unevenly dis
trbuted, the butter will show light
spots or streaks where there is no salt
to deepen the color. AS evidence of
this take two pounds of butter from
the same churning, salt one and leave
the other unsalted and note the differ
ence In color. find it wise to salt the
butter granules in the churn. In cold
weather the temperature there is much
warmer and more uniform than on the
worker. also warm the salt.
Another good general rule is always
to wash the butter with water as warm
as can be used and keep the granules
In form. Sometimes insufficient work.
ing is the trouble. AS a rule there is
liability to work too much rather than
too little. The above suggestions fol
lowed will do away with unnecessary
working. All that is needed is to get
the buttermilk out-and this can best
be done in the churn by proper wash
ing-and then compact the butter TO
about the grain of fine steel.
Improper ripening and temperature
Of the cream may be another cause. or
the cream may have in it too large an
amount of casein or skim milk. This
is most likely to occur in cream raised
In the shallow pan or with some form
Of deep setting. Sometimes in the pan
the cream is exposed too long to the
air, and it becomes dry and will not
churn into butter. This can be pre-
vented by laying piece of manila pa
per over the pans or the cream can be
strained through a wire cover.

A bad Practice.

A buttermaker from neighboring
creamery was in the Dairyman office
the other day, and said to US: II wish
you would say something that would
persuade my patrons from allowing
their nights milk to stand In a stable
all night" We expressed great sur
prise, and said 1t could not be that
there were many farmers In this en-
nghtened day who would be guilty Of
30 dirty practice as that. To our as
tonishment, he said that on investiga-
ton he had found that more than half
of them were doing just that thing. We
inquired as to what kind of men his
patrons were. Did they read? We're
they intelligent men? We asked him
why they did 1t. His answer was, BE
cause they begrudged the labor Of
taking 1t into the kitchen" 1t is very
hard to get some patrons of a creamery
to see how responsible they are for
the good flavor and final price the but
ter Is to bring. II they could see it,
they would be different kind of men,
and handle their milk, cream and cows
vastly different than they do.-Hoard's

Ice House For Dairy Farm.

An ice house is a convenient and val
liable adjunct to any dairy farm. This
building can be constructed very cheap
ly either separate from or in connection
with the dairy house. The capacity
should be ample to hold an abundance
of ice for dairy and household pur-
poses during the season. Many dairy
men would construct such building If
they knew how to do it with as little
outlay as possible. The dairy division
proposes to give assistance by suggest
ing specifications for dairy and ice
houses to persons who make applica-
ton. Correspondence bearing on this
subject should be addressed to the
dairy division, bureau Of animal indus

culture, Washington.

Affair. For rattenins stock.

For dairy and beef cattle aid for
sheep alfalfa has given very good re-
suits. AS regards the use of alfalfa
hay for pigs, 1t is better to cut it early
so that larger proportion Of leaves
may be saved and consequently
larger proportion of protein conserved.
A late cutting, after the leaves have
fallen somewhat and the stem hard
ened, is better for horses, but for pigs,
especially growing pigs, the crop
should be SO harvested as to save the
largest number Of leaves. Experience
teaches also that the third or fourth
crop is better for pigs because 1t is
softer and more palatable. 1t Is always
wise to provide some sort Of trough
or rack with floor In 1t for feeding
alfalfa to hogs.--I. ID. Graham.

K.mbalPs Dairy Farmer tells that a
leading Iowa cheese factory makes a
practice Of sending out each month a
letter to each Of its patrons. This is
full Of items Of general interest to
dairymen, but the striking feature Of
the letter Is the honor roll. The patrons
Of the cheese factory are urged to send
In reports Of what their cows have
done, and this appears In regular order,
the best herd coming at the head Of the
list. Another feature Of the honor roll
Is the test. In recent letter 1t reads
something like this: Zone patron A,
one Al, ten 40, fifteen $50. thirty-one
49, four 81, two S.6. two 3.5, one 3.4."
This makes an average test Of SO,
which is fair figure for sixty -seven
farm dairy herds.
