the Babcock test for butter-fat. This
was followed by a great number OF
questions from his auditors regard
ing various details of he process.
D. r. Hubbard then favored the
meeting with a scholarly and able
address on Idaho and Her Cow" in
which the speaker dwelt at length
ON the low cost of protine Gas repre-
sented in alfalfa) in this State COM
pared with its cost in the East. He
also called attention to the local ab-
sence of insect pests and noxious
weeds that flavor milk. He said that
the test, not the breed, was the
source of increased income to the
dairyman and that 80 per cent of
the cows In the State were kept at
a loss. In Denmark they have no
distinct breed of dairy cattle, yet
b. careful selection they have produc-
ed the most valuable dairy COW in
the world. In this State is a great
market for butter. condensed milk
and cheese. He closed by saying,
there are many men and women
who might shine in business, society,
or politics. yet who are not fit to
associate with cows"
In the discussion that followed,
Mr.. Miller gave his experience in
feeding chopped alfalfa to dairy
herds and Professor French spoke OF
the extreme value of a feed-chopper
to dairyman.

$4,000 ENDOWMENT
FOR COLLEGE OF IDAHO
Enthusiastic Meeting to Raise Needed Funds
CALDWELL CITIZENS TO RAISE $4,000 As THEIR SHARE OF
ENDOWMENT FUND. BUSINESS men have PRESENTED
RESOLUTIONS OF APPROVAL.

A mass meeting was held at the
Opera House Friday evening for the
purpose of presenting to the business
men and citizens the plans and needs
of the College Of Idaho. The meet
ing was a thoroughly representative
one. j. C. Rice, president of the
Caldwell Banking G. Trust Company,
presided and the financial secretary
of the College, II. b. Knight was on
hand to make a statement of the
present financial condition and pros
poets of the College.
Mr.. knight spoke of the possibili-
ties of obtaining aid in New York in
case the City of Caldwell saw fit to
indorse the proposition of raising
$4,000 from those interested in the
institution in this section
President Boone, who has given
the past II years of his life to the
work of managing the institution,
was called upon to address the meet
ing. He was received with hearty
cheers and set forth the Importance
and possibilities of the institution
In a manner which led every man
present to see the folly of allowing
this school to die out. He made the
statement that for the whole period
of its existence the College of Idaho
has kept free from debt and that as II
| was the order of the trustees of the
institution that the president should
take for his salary all that was left
after every other bill was settled
provided the sum did not exceed
$1,000, the salary for President Boone
for the past II years has averaged
about 800 per year, a meager sun
for any Instructor. and when one con
siders that the president of the Col
lege of Idaho is man capable of fill
ing one of the best paid chairs In tn,
land. the sum seems small Indeed
| Several of the business men made
| short talks in favor of the College
and the question as to what should
be done was submitted to the house
c. s. Doan In behalf of the business
men of Caldwell, presented the fol
lowing resolutions. which were unani
mously adopted by the house:
Having heard the report of the Off
GERS of the College of Idaho In re

dowment and building fund. we de

About this time the Commercial

that from some cause the Council

for the purpose of refreshing the

The Annual meeting of the State
Dairy Association opened in the new
City Hall, in the council-chamber, at
2.3O Wednesday afternoon.
After the meeting had been called
to order by President II. D. French,
Secretary Gipson read the minutes
of the last meeting which were then
approved Following this an earnest
appeal for new members was made
by the secretary and on motion a
committee of three was appointed
to attend to increasing the member
ship.
President French delivered his an
nual address in his usual interesting
manner. He called attention to the
fact that this was the seventh an.
nual meeting of the Association, 1t
having been organized In Boise in
1901, with the avowed object of pass
Ing a dairy and pure food law in this
State. He spoke of the Importance
of the dairy industry to the State,
saying that in the Twin Falls dis
trict alone, there were raised last
year 6OO,0 900 tons of alfalfa hay, and
that this hay must be fed to dairy
cattle as the best method of turning
a low-priced crude product into a
high-priced manufactured article He
dwelt on the Importance of central
ICED plants in the dairy industry, and
showed that in 1907 thirty cents a
pound was the average payment for
butter-fat, being the highest ever
paid in Idaho. In calling attention
to the value of hand separators. the
Professor stated that in his opinion
no man having five cows could afford
to be without one. He deplored the
bad condition of most Idaho roads
and said the reason so much farm
butter was made. was on account o.
the difficulty of getting the cream tt
the market. In urging improvement
in the cows themselves, he stated tina
in England dairying was success
where rents were as high as $25 pc
acre. The Professor also urged upol
his auditors the necessity of white
dairying, as at that season the high
est prices were paid for bntter-fat
He called attention to the need o
inspection of herds, by state ofticia
for tuberculosis; and also the nee
of dairy and pure food inspecto
as separate from horticultural In
spector He spoke also of the boo
the introduction of the milking ma
chine would confer on the dairymar
and stated that the success of tn
instrument seemed assured.

Judge Wood said, in relation to the

II have watched the evidence very
