Blanke.ing Cows.
Supervising Eng

During the last couple OF years,
a good many dairymen i'll Aus
tralia have adopted the practise
of blanketing their COWS during
wet and cold weather; anil the
results in ever case are spoken OF
rs being highly satisfactory.
When COWS are kept warm the
iood they consume, instead OF be-
ing. utilized TO maintain bodily
heat, is largely devoted to the
production of milk; and in this
Way the dairyman realizes u
large profit On the very small
outlay required to provide blank-
cts FOR his cattle in cold weather.
Men who have studied the sub
1 iect closely say that the effect "t
covers on COWS is very remark
able. The quiet COWS bvs,oiAis

Boise, Idaho, Oct. ), '07.
Alr. J. W. Lowell Dear Sir
| desire to present to the land
owners under the Payette- Boise
project, through the Water
Users association, the following
statement in relation to the
plans and recommendations of
the reclamation service, also
some suggestions for their con-
sideration, all of which VIII no
doubt be of interest at this time.
The work now under construc-
ton by the United States involves
"a total expenditure of about 81
1000, 900. which is an amount
considerably in excess ofOrigInal
estimates, and which, added to
! the expenditures that have been
made on the Miniuoka project
makes ain amount greatly i'll en-
cess of the unrestricted portion
of the amount which has been
contributed to the reclamation
q fund by the state OF Idaho.
II While recommendations have
been made for q further allotment
. of fund for this project, it is ex
tremely doubtful, owing to the
r plans of the reclamation service
y which now involve 26 other pro
q iects scattered throughout tin
west, if any further allotment
i. will be made soon.
The works now under con
struction consists of a divertin!
+ dam in the Boise river q mail
canal from said dam to the Dee
Flat reservoir, and the two EN-
banklnents of said reservoir.
The date set for theconpletiol

y til June 1907, was very slowan'
II unsatisfactory. Since that time
however, progress has been Yer,
RS satisfactory, bnt it will not like
p ly be completed before Jaluar

The date set for the compile

tremely doubtful, however, if we
will be able to conduct water as
far as the rcse. voIr before this

The original plan contemplate
ed the construction by the Unit
ed States of several main distrib-
utaries from the reservoir. Two
of these distributaries are canals
of considerable capacity. The
one which extends from the low
er embankment will carry about
500 second feet for distance of
I II miles. The one delivering
water from the upper .eInbanl1-
nlent will have about the same
capacity, No engineering diff

main branches, but the amount
involved in each case rs quite

that this work be done by the

10 coast and from border TO border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro
iect them into the mail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into eX-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred TO, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81 100000, and probably more,
for new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least $1,O00,000 for an inn
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
" on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence of the mail
order business is toward the central
lzation of wealth. and how enormous
a part It is playing in this direction
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
1t is due TO himself that every patron
OF the mail order house should inquire
honestly Of himself what the final out
come is to be If the mail order busl-
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress during the last half decade.
1t is useless to repeat the well worn
argument OF the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants in
the regular channels of trade 10 leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote 10 home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy of this
statement has been proved over and
over again by actual and minute com
parisons of goods, as to their quality
and prices. Te refute 1t finally and
indisputably by a simpler and more
direct method 1t is necessary only to
ask the reliable business men of any
OF the smaller communities TO show
the evidence from their books and ac.
counts of the harm the mail order
habit is doing their communities.
II is a truth as old as the hills and
as certain as the rising and setting of
the sun that no country or section of
country can prosper unless the peo-
