MEAT SUPPLY OF THE FUTURE MUST
COME FROM THIS SIDE OF THE
MISSOURI RIVER.

The question of a food supply
for the nation is rapidly becom-
ing a vital problem. The great
agricultural sections of the Mid
die West are having all they can
do to produce the grain neces-
sary for bread, and it is becom-
ing more and more apparent that
the supply Of meat for the future
must come from the great Inter
mountain countries west of the
Missouri river, where the mil
iious of acres Of cheap grazing
land makes the growing of live
Stock not only possible, bu t
profitable The big job facing
the West right now is the task
of educating the stockmen and
farmers in the most modern
and profitable methods in pro-
ducing meat. The Western
Stock Show Association, COM
posed of prominent men all over
the West, was organized for
this particular porpose, and in
the annual exhibition held at
Denver in January of each year
is providing a practical school in
modern meat making that is al
ready accomplishing wonderful
results. When the first exhib.
ition was held seven years ago
practically all Of the exhibits
came from the Middle West. AT
che big show to be held during
the week of January 1920 next,
the bulk of the exhibits will
come from the West and will
compete against the best the
East can produce. Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and
New Mexico will exhibit pure
bred cattlo, shoep, hogs and d
horses that will compete against
the world and will take theii
share of the blne ribbons.
The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1911-10-27

While this show is National in
scope, it is intended especially
for the education of Western
stockmen and farmers in the on
ly way that such education can
be had-by comparison. The
show provides an opportunity
that every wide awake stock
man and farmer should embraces
either as an exhibitor or as a
spectator and student 1t is a
business proposition.
The show in January will cor
sist of four departments: The
Stock Show, containing exhibits
of breeding stock and fat stock
and carloads of feeders and fat
stock; the Horse Show, showing
all kinds Of harness horses in
action; the Feed and Forage
Show, showing what the West
uses to produce live stock; and
the Poultry Show, which has
already become one of the great
poultry exhibits OF the country.
Every stockmah or farmer in
this section should send for a
premium list, and if he cannot
exhibit, should at least arrange
to attend the show and secure
knowledge of what the liv e
stock world is doing. Premium
list can be had by addressing the
Secretary, Fred p. Johnson,
Denver Colorano.

the result is they leave the common
school with a superficial knowledge

! experience in the common schools.
There are a lot of frills and re-
finements now taught in our schools

German, for instance, are refnements.
If there is anyone who has ever learn
ed French or German in these schools
even to read and understand it,
wish they would come into my office
and talk with me. Either boy or girl
who has accomplished this certainly
would be a curiosity
1.-THE teaching of languages does not
help our children become better cit
liens. 1t does not impress on them
the necessity of work. And there is
a shortage of workers all over the
country. Children born here and who
attend our schools will not work with
their hands unles they have to and
then they do not like it.
And I am convinced that system
of education that produces such a
result is a failure and the systems in
our larger cities are very generally
just that result. We are
teaching unnecessary things. Prob
in education are jealous in their work,
adding to that which they |
think our children should learn. 1t is |

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-"We ar
teaching too much in the publ
schools to make good citizens, citizen
who will think sufficiently to vote an
at the same time willing to work wit
their hands"
This is Mayor w. G. Gaynor's criti
cism of the public school systems
throughout the United States and par
] ticularly of the New York public
schools.
Boys are getting too much in theil
heads to want to work with theil
hands," the mayor holds, land girls
know too many other things to want tc
do house work.
Mayor Gaynor is an advocate OF
teaching reading, writing n 'rithme-
tic" in the public schools along with
a few other essentials and letting Ian
guages, for instance, wait for those
who have more time for learning than
those who end their schooling with the
grades.
In giving his opinions of what the
public schools in this country should
do, Mayor Gaynor said:
1.-The public school should train our
boys and girls to work; work with
their hands as well as their heads
Schools especially in the larger cities
all over this country, are turning out
boys and girls who think they are
little too good to do ordinary work.
This is bad for the country.
1--WE are bringing boys and girls out
Of the common schools who, unless
they can get jobs where they can sit
on high stools or at typewriter, will
not work They have been taught too
much and think because they have
been educated they should use their
heads alone and let others work with
their hands.

Colleges in the conduct of this farm, as
we'll as the one at Gooding.
The Extension Department of the
College is also cooperating with the
various lines of railroads in the state
in running so-called Demonstration"
trains over the various lines. These
trains carry several cars of products
demonstrating the success of the var
ious practices employed in producing
the results obtained. Lectures and
demonstrations are given at every rail
way station to the farmers assembled.
These trains are largely inspirational
in character and are followed later, in
certain of the districts, by what are
termed Movable Schools of Agricul-
ture, where exact and full instruction
is given in the various branches of
farming that engage the people of that
vicinity. These schools are of weeks
duration and are Institutional rather
than inspirational Where it is not
practical to hold Movable Schools and
where the farmres are anxious for help
and information a one or two days
Farmers Institute is held, which, while
not as valuable as the School, is yet
very effective in giving much needed
information and help.
In addition to these agencies, the
Director of Agricultural Extension
work, Prof. w. H. Olin, who is To-
Gated at Boise, has instituted a Cor
respondence Course in Agriculture
among the rural school teachers,
whereby they may more effectually
prepare themselves for introducing the
rudiments of scientific agriculture in
the country schools
In addition to all this, the College
co-operates with the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture in employing a
field Dairyman, who devotes his entire
time to giving first hand instruction
to the dalrymen of the state on their
farms and in their homes This is per-
haps the most valuable work of the
Extension Department, and, will, we
hope be extended to INCLUDE a field
man or two in Horticulture, one or two
in practical irrigation and thoroughly
competent woman to work for an inn
provement in the home, giving practi-
cal instruction in Home Science.
With all these forces at work, it is
not-too much to hope that the Agricul-
ture of Idaho will advance to that
proud position of supremacy in Agri-
cultural efficiency that her hard-head-
ed, big-hearted and progressive citi-
zenship combined with her great nat
ural resources render possible

LINENS
By JENNIE L. K. HANER, Department
of Domestic Economics.

(F'rom Idaho Country Lifel
In the treatment of this subject here
have a double motive. First to illus
trate the nature of written work on the
subject of Textiles" in a course in
Domestic Art as it is given in class
talks and required in essays on the
various subjects bearing upon this par
ticular phase of Practical Farming A
knowledge of different textile mater
ials used in this part of housekeeping
is quite as essential and helpful and
equally as interesting as that of cook
ing where the qualities, quantities,
properties and various values of food
materials used enter into an import
ant part of the subject of Domestic
Science; and second, for the sake of
the subject itself, showing how mat
ter of useful knowledge is used for an
educational end in domestic as in any
other subject.
I choose linen as only one of the
subjects which are taken up and treat
ed in similar manner, as [ might have
taken cotton, wool, silk, lace, needles,
thinbles, history of costume, ETC., be-
cause it may be little more instruc-
tive and perhaps more interesting
Linen is a fabric of vegetable fibre
made from the plant flax. Its manufac-
ture is very ancient, it being old in the
time of Heroditus, 484 to 424 B. C.
Ancient Egyptians not only largely
consumed the fabric for their own use
but supplied it to foreign countries.
They used it as mummy cloths in EN-
balming their dead, thus our mummy
linen of today, cloth of coarse, plain
weave used in art work. We still find
relics of these mummy wrappings in
the museums of today. Its use was
particularly connected with their relig-
ious and funeral services, and mention
is often made of this as the purple and
fine linen of Bible times.
The Greeks obtained their linens
from Egypt. 1t was also of high re"
pute among the more wealthy Romans
and considered most precious for their
perfect embroidery work, even as in
the present. Some of the most beau

made of fine linen.
Very rude looms were used for
weaving but very fine linen, even
most delicate fabric could be made,
and it is considered probable that the
''hne linen" mentioned in the Scrip
lures would compare favorably with
that produced by our most perfected
of today. Specimens of
these very old and very fine linens may
be seen in the British and Metropoli-
IAN Museums.
With these old linens, more SO than
with those of the present, we find the
warp thread to exceed in number to
he inch those of the wool threads

CAT THAT GOES JOY RIDING
Gray Tsbby on New York Farm Uses
Big Lcohorn Rooster for
Her Mount.

A cat is supposed to be averse to
any locomotion other than that af-
forded by her own soft feet, but a
gray tabby on a farm near Syracuse,
N. Y, has commandeered big Leg
horn rooster on which to 60 JOY rid
ing. No one has taught the cat the
trick, and she never tries to mount
the back of any other fowl in the
barnyard but the Leghorn. When
puss feels like taking ride around
The premises she waits until the Leg
horn passes, and leaps on his back,
sitting there almost upright like a
human equestrian, hind feet hanging
down each side of his wings and
front paws firmly clasping the neck
sof the unhappy bird. At first the
rooster was terrified and tried to run
away with his strange burden, but
the faster he ran the more the cling
ing cat seemed to enjoy it, and Chan
ticleer is now resigned to bear his
tormentor around the yard until she
is tired and slips off his back. He
has to keep going, whether he wants
to or not, as the cat promptly rakes
him across the comb if he stands
still. The only way the Leghorn can
avoid the cat is by remaining on his
perch in the henhouse, and some
times he will stay there all day, re-
fusing to come down even for his
corn.
