DELEGATION OF HAMMOCK
INDIANS WILL REPRESENT
IDAHO AT INAUGIrRAr

IDAHO Al lNAUGUKAION
Governor James H. Brady has lei
it be known that the report printed
in dispatches from Washington that
he would be present on March 4th at
the inauguration Of President Taft is
untrue. The governor says plans to
that end have been discussed, but for
the reason that the legislature will
be in session at that time, they have
been abandoned,
Idaho will be represented at the
inaugural, however-not by gilt
braided officers Of the governor
staff and frock coated representatives
Of the state government but by a
delegation of Bannock Indians, at
tired In full warpaint and feathers.
At a recent meeting of the Bannock
tribe on the Fort Hall reservation, a
delegation Of four Indians was Sc
lected to visit the Great White
Father" at the national capital to
find out at first hand how the Ban
nocks stand In the matter of land al
lotments. The Indians have no COM
plant to make against either the In
dian office at Washington or the
agency superintendent here; but, like
Indians, they want to be given as
surances from the source of authority
that their land interests will be prop
erly taken care Of.
The delegation has been approved
by Major Caldwell, superintendent Of
the Ross Fork agency, and will start
for Washington in time to arrive
about the first of March. They will
remain at the capital until Mr.. Taft is
and will no doubt attract
considerable attention.
The delegation is composed of Pat,
Tyhee, son of the famous chief of
that name who died number of
years ago; Frank Randall, the Car
Isle graduate who will act as spokes-
man for the party; Tommy Cosgroye,
q well known leader in the tribe, and
Major George, one of the best known
indians on the reservation.

CARE IN FEEDING MICH COWS

Mich cows require different feed
than beef cattle. You should not feed
much fat-forning foods. as your cows
would lay on fat instead of producing
milk. Feed more silage or roots in the
winter.
Daily feed for a 1,O0O-Dound COW:
Forty pounds of silage, seven pounds
of clover hay and 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
ope and do no feed very heavy on
grain Just before or after calving.
After calVing give bran maSheS n

days. Allow the calf to suck for about
two days and then feed the mothers
milk from a pail for about two weeks.
about three quarts twice a lay: after
that reduce it with skim-milk or warm
water, so that at the end of the fourth
week the calf Will be getting all skim
milk or half whole milk and half warm
water. with some reliable stock tonic
to aid digestion.
Keep a supply of good clover or al
falfa hay within reach and also some
ground oats. with a little linseed meal
mixed with it.

hen and another man With some other
breed. 1t is with hens as it is with
COWS. We should choose the breed
we like the best and then stay with it.
Fowls are naturally hardy, and con-
tagion in a flock is due to careless
ness on the part Of the poultry keeper.
This is proved by the fact that eX-
pert poultry faiscrs have very few
sick chickens.
Hens need u better place on which
to roost than the trees around the
house. OF course, they may survive
there; but merely living and returning
a profit are two different things.
Don't stop feeding the hens shells
just because they are out of doors
and can shift for themselves. There
is no line. not even an imaginary one,

shells and when she does not. All

CARING FOR TURKEY TOCINS
Dark. Damp Quarters and Lice Re-

Young
By Anna Gallagher

Young turkeys.
By Anna Gallagher.
Turkey hens begin laying early In
the spring, and as they usually make
their nests on the ground, it is not adj
visable to let them hatch the first lot
of eggs, unless n can get them to sit
in SOM sheltered place.
If the hens sits in a cold, damp nest
the eggs will not hatch well. This
is often the cause of weak. sickly
poults.
While turkey hens make the best
mothers, it is a good plan to hatch the
first clutch of eggs with chicken hens;
then by the time the turkey hens have

allowed to sit.
See that the hens have good nests
and are kept free Of lice. If the hens
are allowed to sit in old nest-boxes
they will soon become regular louise

keys come out your trouble will begin

Last year We pinned our faith to 4

Defendant Indicted for Attacking His
Aged Father-in-Jaw Charles McCIaIn
---Jury Out Less Than Two Hours

A verdict of assault and battery
was returned by the jury at 1920
O'Clock Friday afternoon In the case
of the state against Charles Bradford
who was tried on an Indictment OF
assault with intent to kill Charles
McClain, his Tfather-in-law. on July

1t took the jury less than two hours
to reach a decision. They filed into
the jury room at 10:45 and returned
verdict at 1920. The attorneys in
the case consumed two hours in argu-
ing the evidence and their efforts
We're very enthusiastic and apparently
effective. The judges charge was
short and to the point.
There was considerable speculation
as to what would be the jury's verdict
and the case was watched with much
interest, Many predicted however that
the verdict would be assault and bat

from one to six months in the work

team at that place Saturday after-
noon. Thrice the local team has play
ed this season and as many times it

that the Delaware team will be given
something TO play against. Coach c..
W. Hayes. of the local High school,

urday the first victory may be won
for the school.
In the opinion OF those who have
witnessed the playing of the team and
who know something about the
game. the local lads are improving
isteadily. Much enthusiasm is being
shown in the High school and large
number OF students will accompany
the team Saturday in order TO assist
the lads in every way possible.
