VIII They Attempt 1t?

1t is currently reported that there
is scheme being Matched up for the
purpose Of defeating Hepburn for
reelection to the senate. The Tri-
bune does not believe that the rumor
can possibly be true, yet it is fact
that there are some signs which
point that way. The only safe plan
for the delegates at the Boise con-
vention to pursue. will be to name
him as his successor and not trust
to luck and the legislature; Ex-sen-
ator Dubois would be only too glad
to have the Republican party enact
the scenes witnessed at Twin Falls,
and it Is a sure thing II the state ma
chine backed by the national ad-
ministration attempts the game that
there would be such time witness
ed at the Republican convention that
would make the Twin Falls affair
look like thirty cents.

Skim Milk at Its Best,

In speaking of the feeding value
of skim milk an eastern writer sums
up his remarks thus:
1. The practical feeding value of
any feed cannot always be determin-
ed by chemical analysis.
2. Warm, sweet, hand separator
skim milk has a much greater prac-
tical than theoretical feeding value.
3. Animal heat possesses a po-
tent, vital force that cannot be re-
produced In artificial heat.
4. Skim milk that has lost its
animal heat has lost a vital element
that can never be restored.
s. Over half the real substance
in the skim milk consists of milk
and sugar. There is over a pound
of milk sugar in an ordinary pailful
of skim milk.
6. When skim milk sours II
means that the milk sugar has un-
dergone a chemical change whereby
1t is turned into Tactic acid.
z. Tactic acid is poison to the
system of the calf.
8. Skim milk possesses all the
bone and muscle forming elements
of new milk, and hence, II fed tc
young stock, will develop great vi
tality, good frame, deep muscle and
great vigor.
9. Experiments show that young
pigs fed on skim milk will make
at least 1919 more gain than II fec
on whole milk.

When Ten Acres is Enough.

When Ten Acres Is Enough.
We are often asked whether q far
mer can make living on ten
acre farm under irrigation. Many
farmers are so accustomed to quar-
ter sections that they cannot realize
how 1t is possible to get along with
such small lot as ten acres. Their
idea Is that one may with good luck
make money of a ranch of eighty
or 100 acres, but that ten acres
cannot be made to produce even a
living. Now ! do not propose to go
into any imaginary calculations Of
how q man can raise $1,000 an acre
OF asparagus or $500 on peaches or
81 head from 1000 head of poul-
try. I have done too much practical
farming myself to be misled by any
such blooming nonsense. I shall
base my calculations upon very con-
sentative estimates that upon a
method Of farming which 1 believe
will appeal to the common sense of
every practical westerner.
My first point is that the small
farmer should raise everything he
needs to eat except groceries and this
he can do II he puts in the right kind
Of crops. and keeps cows. hogs and
poultry. One COW is no good on a
farm, for every COW has. or ought
to have q dry season. Two cows,

Details of an exciting bear hunt
near Naples has reached Bonners
Ferry. 1t seems that William Par
son, rancher, was out one day with
his hired man, Harry Sewers, and
discovered a bear feeding on a hill
side near by. They hastily armed
themselves with Winchesters, filled
magazines, and with the dogs, start
ed after bruin. The dogs soon put
the bear up tree, and the hunters
crept up on the seemingly doomed
animal to close range. Then the fir
ing from the heavy wholesalers COM
menced. The bear was not used to
such loud noises, and concluded to
come down and Investigate. The
situation was becoming more inter-
esting every minute. The firing con-
tinued but the ammunition run low.
The dogs, unable to comprehend the
impudence of the bear, started for
home. The bear came down the tree
and sat up to take survey of the
situation. Parson fired the last shot
and as the bear made a move tc
make closer examination, he and
the man came to an instantaneous
conclusion that they ought not tt
neglect their work for such trifiine
business as bear hunting. and it Is
said that the time they made getting
down the hill and under cover OF
the house was not slow. After as.
certaining that the coast was agar
clear, the bear continued his lunch
