THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

and use such means to protect the ballot the
occasion may demand
Protection of the ballot it will be observed called
for the violation of the constitution and the arrest
or the murder of who attempted to uphold the
provisions of that document, and the Governor of
the State authorized the violence that contem-
plated in his address and the advice of his news
paper organ.
Notwithstanding the be1ligerent attitude of the
State authorities in plain Instruction against the
laws of Idaho, efforts were made to challenge dis
franchised Mormons at the polls and Democratic
chalengers maltreated and arrested and placed
in jail and deprived of their votes.
No proceedings were instituted against the parties
arrested, because there only the warrant
of force for the indgnities to which they sub
jected. 1t mob, directed by sworn officer of
the State, that committed the outrages.
All this is matter of history recent that the
people of Idaho are familiar with it. The Scimitar
reproduces it that the lesson of experience may not
be lost upon the men and women who are to vote
next November and will then be confronted by the
paramount issue of 1906 for it will live until virtue
trumphs over vice and the laws of morality prevail
The good citizenship of Idaho will probably be
again assailed during the campaign and at the cul-
mnation of the campaign, for the element that made
mockery of justice in 1906 is still in power and
will exercise its debased political instincts to the end
that law may again be suppressed through ndugencrs
that would disgrace the autocracy of Russia.

That Senator Knox is still in the presidential run
Ming in spite of the meteorc dash of Mr. Taft across

the objections of the Federal Supreme Court is one
of the signs. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Knox is cul-

About to Resume.

The Salt Lake Tribune says it was told in one
of the recent Mormon Sunday meetings that those
revelations and principles of Our faith which we
have had to lay aside for short time shall in
very short time be resumed in all their fullness."
The alleged revelation of Joseph Smith, Jr, estab-
fishing polygamy, has never been taken from the
book of Doctrine and Covenants" of the Mormon
church. and the later revelation advising discontin-
ance of the practice of polygamy has not been given
a place in the book
Since the Senate decision in the Smoot case, the
church has manifested some positive opinions on the
rosy side of its future and it may be about ready
to resume the open practice of polygamy

Rnisinr thc Colt hr HAND.

1t not infrequently happens that
colts are left motherless while yet
young. Such colts are not an entire
failure. They can be reared by hand
and thrive quite we'll where the pro-
per care is given them. If the colt
b. had even one or two feeds of its
mo sher's milk it is well started. but
where it has had none it is in a worse
shape In such case the bowels should
first be opened with dose of castor
oil, and short while after that it
can get its first feed. To make a sub
stitute of its mothers milk take fresh
cows milk, add to it one-fourth water
and sweeten somewhat with sugar.
This should be fed to the colt at blood
temperature four or five times day.
After the colt is a few weeks to
month old it can be fed little cat
meal or other soft food. Even before
this time it will begin nibbling soft
grasses. Although the colt must be
started in very slowly on these feeds
1t will be found that they help won

When Are Hens Too Old.

The following from a writer IN Vhe
Southwestern Stockman may help 10
decide this question:
In recent issue of the Reliable
Poultry Journal appears a half-tone
of a twenty-two-year-old hen that Is
still laying enough eggs to pay for
her keeping. The cut is accompanied
by a sworn affidavit as to her age and
ability to still perform the duty OF
the hen, lay eggs and plenty of them.
This hen has knocked the top off
some of the theories in good shape,
for lust a few years back | read an
article in the same journal, written
by a bic one who made the statement
that a hen would not lay more than
coo eggs during lifetime. The gent
set forth the theory in a very flourish
ing article that took a lot OF space
and would have the dear people dis
pose of everything at the age of two
years, as they had laid about all the
eggs they would.
Somehow this calls out the state
ment made by a doctor a few years
ago, who said that man at the age
of sixty was of no more use, and hac
better be put out of the way. But
strange to say, this same doctor
passed the sixty mark a short tint
ago, and has neither committed sui
eide or invited any one to stop hi
clock.
The doctor smashed his own the
ory and the twenty-two-year-old hel
smashed the other one. Theory
somewhat like sympathy-very shal
low. Yet we must contend with al
sorts of ideas, but most every on
who has raised poultry knows tha
there are quite few hens that wi
continue to lay to good advantage a
long as they stay in a healthful cor
dition, regardless of age.

Enedinr Mich Cows.

Mich COWS require different feed
than beef cattle. You should not
feed much fat forming foods, as your
cows would lay on fat instead OF pro-
dacing milk. Feed more silage or
roots in. the winter.
Daily feed for a 1000-pound cow,
forty pounds of silage, seven pounds
clover hay, eight pounds Of grain.
The COWS that are soon to freshen
should be fed on succulent feed, such
as silage or roots, bran, linseed meal
with a little oats. Keep the bowels
open and do not feed very heavy on
grain Just before or after calvins.
After calving, give bran mashe'
and warm the drinking water for
few days. Allow the calf to suck foi
about two days and then feed th'
mothers milk from a pail for abou
two weeks, about three quarts twice
a day; after that reduce ii with skin
milk or warm water, so that at tn
end Of the fourth week the calf vii
be getting all skim milk or half Who'll
milk and half warm water, with som
reliable stock tonic TO aid digestion
Keep a supply Of good clover or all
alfa hay within reach, and also som
ground oats, with little linseed mes
MIXED with 1t.
After the calf eats the ground fee
gradually get him used 10 eatin
whole oats, as this is the best food fC
him up to six months old. The hei
ers should not be bred until fifteen
eighteen months old,-Dr. David Ro
erts, in the American Cultivator.

Gods Help,

Nothing is small or great In Gods
sight; whatever He wills becomes
great to us, however seemingly tri-
fling, and If once the voice of con-
science tells us that He requires any
thing of us, we have no right to
measure its Importance. On the other
hand, whatever He would not have
us do, however important we may
think it, is as naught to us. How do
you know what you may lose by neg
lecting this duty, which you think 30
trifing, or the blessing which Its
faithful performance may bring?
Be sure that If you do your very
best in that which is laid upon you
daily, you will not be left without
sufficient help when some weightiel
| occasion arises.
Give yourself to Him, fix your eye
upon Him, listen to His voice anC
then go on bravely and cheerfplly.-

Feeding For Health.

It is time dairymen took more
rational view of their business and
fed their cows in manner that would
promote their health instead of fore
ing them to their very limits, as is
the case in many sections where dai-
rying is the exclusive branch of agri-
culture. They are feeding too mar
row rations for the good of the cows.
Agricultural colleges and dairy in
structors are constantly advising the
purchase of these abnormal nitroge-
neous foods. Their whole line of
dairy wisdom is one sided. They
think nothing of increasing the cows
production at the pail, without regard
to the kind of calf she will drop. Cows
| that are raised and developed upon
clover hay, ensilage, wheat bran and
oats, with good luXuriant pasture
grass during the summer, will make
better cows than those that are over
fed on a ration or rich protein feeds
I will stake my reputation on this
fact. We may not make as much
milk, but we will have healthier cows
and what we do make will be made
cheaper. and our calves will be bet
ter than they would If we fed narrow
rations. don't care one particle
whether a ration is one to four or one
to seven as long as it does the bust

After losing lambs for a number OF
years from collie, says a breeder, and
not being able to find any cause by

concluded the trouble was caused by
the lamb getting too much milk. as
1t is always the largest and fattest
