SUPREME court MAKES
AN IMPORTANT DECISION

The Supreme Court of Idaho has
handed down an important decision
in the case of the First National
Bank of Weiser VS.. Washington
county.
The action was instituted by the
bank and its stockholders to review
the action of the board of equaliza-
ton of Washington County ordering
certain property assessed against the
bank and in also in ordering raise in
the valuation of the capital stock of
the bank, as the same had been as
sessed against the stockholders. Judg-
ment entered by the lower court, va
eating the assessment of the furni-
ture and fixtures Of the bank in the
sum of 5000, is affirmed and revers-
ed as to that part of the order vacat-
ing and annuling the action Of the
board in raising the valuation of the
capital stock Of. the bank from $50
to $4s per share.
The opinion is written by Justice
Ailshie and concurred in by Chief
Justice Sullivan and Justice Stewart.
The syllabus is in part as follows:
1.-THE county assessor has no power
or authority to bind the county or its
board Of equalization by any agree
ment he may make or enter into
with the taxpayer as to the valuation
to be placed upon any specific prop
erty or the waiver of deductions and
exemptions. His duties are prescribed
by law and the taxpayer is charge
able with the notice of the scope Of
his authority and the power with
which he is vested and the limita-
tions thereof. He is required to as
sess all the taxable property of his
county at its "full cash value" and
has no authority to assess it other
wise.
"Under the provisions of section
1892, revised codes, TIE county com
missioners of each county are re-
quired to meet on the second Monday
in July, each year, as a board Of
equalization for the purpose of exam
ming the assessment roll and equal

compelling the assessment Of prop
erty and raising or causing to b
raised any assessment Of property
which in the Judgment Of the board
has not been assessed at a fair casl
value. No special, separate or per
sonal notice of this meeting is re

one point on whick all-both white
and red-agree: and that is that
Custer found more Indians than he
was looking for-found them in such
swarming thousands that his own
little band of two hundred fell an
easy prey.
In making his dash this time, Gus
ter divided his command-always a
hazardous thing to do in tie face Of
the enemy. AS soon as he sighted the
village-by the way, he saw only d
part of it and had no idea of its vast
extent-he sent Major Reno with q
hundred men charging down the level
ground against it, while he with two
hundred went galloping down behind
the bluffs to strike it farther down
the river. He had told Reno that he
would support him" meaning to do
it by striking the village in differ
ent place. Reno understood that the
support would come on behind him,
so, as he went ganoping on toward the
village and saw Custer was not fol-
lowing him up, he began to think
that something had gone wrong. The
Indians now spread the alarm and
quickly sprang to arms. To quote
from Reno's own report to the War
Department: 81 could not see Gus
ter or any other support, and at the
same time the very earth seemed to
grow Indians, and they were running
toward me in swarms, and from all
directions" The result was that he
grew undecided and attacked in a
half hearted manner, and not with
the headlong dash that Custer had
expected.
But there was nothing half-hearted
about the Indian attack. Gathering
boldness from Reno's indecision, they
hurled themselves upon him, throwing
him back up the river bank in q
growth of small timber, at the same
time pouring in a CALLING fire that
dropped many of his men dead On
wounded. Fearing that he would be
annihilated here, he abandoned his
attack and led his men in a wild
dash for safety across the river to-

SiIaue for Sheen,

Silage is looked upon with great
favor among sheep men, says Prof.
Wool in his book, on silage. Sheep do
well on 1t, and silage-fed ewes drop
their lambs in the spring without
trouble, the lambs being strong and
vigorous. Silage containing a good
deal OF corn is not well adapted for
breeding stock, as 1t is too fattening;
for fattening stock, on the other hand,
much corn in the silage is an ad-
vantage. Sheep may be fed a couple
Of pounds of silage a day and not to
exceed five or six pounds per head.
Prof. Cook reports as follows In re-
gard to the value of silage for sheep:
Il have fed silage literally to sheep
for three winters and am remarka-
bly, pleased with the results. | make
ensilage half the daily ration, the 9TH
er half being corn stalks or timothy
hay, with bran or oats. The sheep do
exceedingly well. Formerly l was
troubled to raise lambs from grade
Merino ewes. OF late this trouble has
almost ceased. Last spring l hardly
lost a lamb. While ensilage may not
be the entire cause of the change, l
believe 1t is the main cause. 1t Is
positively proved that ensilage is a
most valuable food material, when pro-
perly fed, iOr all our domestic anil

Some Dairy Helps.

Not all of us have good dairy fur
nfshing, nor yet all with good, or
fairly good cellars. so sometimes it
is necessary to think up substitutes
for use during the heated term
A milk room, with good roof and
solid floor of some sort,-cement is
the nicest,-and with tree shade over
1t, with plenty of cold water handy to
use is better for butter making thru
the summer, than are the majority
of cellars, besides being much easier
kept clean.
Where there is a building with
good roof, near the well, one can clean
it up and have near milk room"
A neighbor of ours cleaned up such
a room, and as there was no natural
shade, she schemed and worked out
ceiling that helped in three ways,
made the room cleaner, cooler and
lighter. The ceiling was made of
some discarded bed ticks, made Of
heavy muslin. but bleached white;
they were sewed together until Of the
right dimensions, then the muslin was
tackled across one end and side, then
tightly stretched and tackled across the
opposite end and side.
With the few cents outlay for tacks,
a clean ceiling was in the room. This
help, with a milk trough, enables her
to get about all the cream and butter
from the milk, all thru the summer.
1t is nice yellow butter, too, a close
second to the creamery.
A good way to keep butter nice with
out ice, is to have a key, barrel or
large jar, In which place coarse sand
to the depth of six inches, now set in
the butter jar, several sizes smaller
than the sand receptacle, now fill tight
ly all around the butter jar with the
course sand.
Cover the butter jar tightly but a
coarse canvas or a piece of clean
carpeting will be the thing to cover
over the sand vessel. BY keeping the
sand soaked all the time with cold
water, the butter will be solid and
nice when wanted for the table, or for
marketing. Some yet place the but
ter in a pail with a cover, and hang
in the well. This is old style, and
cannot be tried with the driven wells,
nor is it handy or very safe, If there
are little folks around; it will keep
the butter nicely, though.
One thing is absolutely essential in
and this is absolute cleanliness from
start to finish. Cream and butter have
a habit, and a tenacious one, of alb
sorbing any and every odor within
reaching distance, so the thing is to
keep the odors at a very great dis
lance. Ice is necessary but good but
ter may be made without it, by using
much care, and more work.-E. c., in
the Indiana Farmer.

Good Eco Production.

AS requisites for the production Of
good eggs and marketing them in good
condition the following may be men,
toned:
l. Hens that produce not only a
good numl er of eggs. but eggs of mod
erately large size, weighing two ounc-
es each on an average. Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
Reds, Orpingtons and Leghorns or
Minorcas that are used on egg farms
are varieties that may be expected to
to this.
2. Good housing, regular feeding
and watering and, above all, clean, dry
nests.
3. Daily gathering of eggs, and.
when the temperature is above 50 de-
grees, gathering twice a day.
4. The combining of all broody hens
as soon as discovered.
:. The rejection as doubtful of all
eggs found IN nest that was not Wis
tied the previous day. Such eggs
should be used at home, where each
may be broken separately.
6. The placing OF all summer egg J,
as soon as gathered, in the coolest
place available.

moisture in any form coming in con-
t.ct with the eggs ell

Notes..

If your chicks are not coming up to
what you think they should, look and
see that the fault does not lie with the
male.
A very important thing IN poultry
raising is in caring for the eggs after
they are layed up to the time they are
marketed.
Green tender weeds thrown to the
fowls afford them a variety of green
stuff and save labor by not being al
lowed to seed.
Poultry are said to cleanse them
selves Of insect pests by busting their
feathers and then shaking the pests
off with the dust.
Stufiing, poultrymen assert, never
did make hens lay, as it makes them
fat and lazy, and lazy birds never
were noted for their laying qualities.
A practical poultry raiser never for
gets to keep his fowls dishes strictly
clean and to supply them with good,
clean food and water, and plenty of it.
Sunshine and air are essential to
health in chickens as well as to any
other live stock on the farm. See
that the place where they are kept
has windows to let the sunshine in and
ventilators to bring in fresh air.
1t is claimed that not one producer
in hundred tests his eggs; Just TAX
es chances and ships, guaranteeing
them to be fresh eggs, not knowing
how many old nest eggs he has put
in, or how many have large blood
clots and are worthless.

Corn Versus Oats as Horse Feed.

The Ohio Experiment Station re-
Gently conducted some experiments to
test the widespread belief that oats are
superior to other grain as a feed for
horses. Six mature grade Percheron
geldings were fed on basal ration of
clover and timothy hay, three receiv-
ing oats and three corn as a supple
mentary ration. Estimating corn to be
worth 40 cents per bushel, oats 80
cents per bushel, and hay IS per ton,
at the time the experiments were
made, it was found that the average
cost of food per hour of work was 3.3
cents for the corn-fed horses and 4.54
cents for those fed oats. The use of
corn to the exclusion of other grain
for a period of 48 weeks was not found
detrimental to the health of work
horses and they endured as well as
those receiving oats. When mixed
(clover and timothy hay was fed to
mature geldings at general farm work,
ear corn was practically as efficient,
pound for pound, as oats. A drop in
weight Of the corn-fed horses co-inci-
dent with the beginning Of the use of
shelled corn indicates that ear corn
is to be preferred above shelled corn
for work horses.

Sore eyes may be due to various
causes such as injury or catarrhal in
lection and when due to the latter
the entire head is apt to become af-

1t is advisable to keep animals thus
affected in a dark stable during the
day, allowing them to pasture at night.
The eyes should be bathed several
times daily in an antiseptic, solution,
after which time an eye lotion should
be injected into the eye. Give animals
