Cost OF Feeding Calves.

Connecticut Station Bulletin No. 63
contains general Information on rails
ing calves. and reports the actual cost
OF feeding FIVE heifers from birth until
two years old. The average cost of
the feed the first year was S2s.24. and
for the second year s27 rs. The labor.
interest and other items would make
the total cost about s7l for the two
heifers. from which should be deduct.
ed s. for the value OF the manure.
The cost OF the feed was rated as fol

A Thoroughbred Jersey Stock Farm.

Mr.. |. l.. Ray of Rupert has pur-
chased the Van Loan one hundred
and twenty acres five miles east of
Wendell, also forty acres from w
II. Thompson. Mr.. Ray has fine
Jersey stock ranch at Rupert and
intends to establish another one here.
He will raise thoroughbred dairy
cows to supply the demand here on
the tract. The entire farm will be
put out to alfalfa and grass this
year. This is something that has
been needed here and we predict
the greatest success for Mr.. Ray in
his venture.

TO SOUTHERN SUNNY IDAHO.

If we are to Judge from press re-
ports and other reliable sources,
the influx Of strangers into South
ern Idaho never exceeded the pres
ent time. Passenger trains west
ward are run in two and three sec
tons, and all crowded like sardines
in box. 1t is becoming more
generally known every day that
Southern Idaho offers better induce
ments to the homeseeker than can
be found in any other irrigated
section. The price of lands are
cheaper than in most sections, and
it might as well be understood that
irrigated lands will never be sold as
cheap as they can be bought for on
the North Side track at the present
time. 1t was Just recently that the
Idaho. Irrigation Co. raised the en-
try price of their lands $500
per acre. These lands join this
tract and are no better in anyway
and with the price on this tract
sl5 per acre cheaper, the result will
be a greater demand for these lands
than ever.

said Mr.. Rich yesterday. There is no
reason why, in view OF the cheap water
transportation, We should not eventually
ship our produce across the water To for

the Idaho spud is lar better than any

AN APOLOGY.

An apology is due our Wendell readers
this week. not through any fault of ours,
but on account OF the very eiiicient(0
mail service between the two towns.
Our regular communication WAS mailed
at Wendell Tuesday, but up TO the time
OF going to press has not reached lis. ~
a pouch is made up at Wendell direct
for Jerome, the fault is either AT the
office there or at the office in jerome.
We promise this will not occur again,
even ii We have to employ special mes
senger between the two towns.

Letters from Mr.. and Mrs. Rick
er, mailed from Yokohoma, have
been received by their friends here.
They arrived at the japanese port
March 10. a very pleasant voyage
on the good steamship China
is reported by them. They
think that Honolulu is the finest
place in the world next to Wendell.
What the Rickers think Of Wendell
can be judged by the fact that they
almost changed their minds about
going, after their transportation
was paid, and not sail but come
back to their many friends here.
1t is sincerely hoped that they will
see fit to cut their visit to the Phil
ipines short and return to their
home soon.

PlThY POINTS.
Alfalfa Seed Raising.

"If We can raise alfalfa seed it is Il
mighty good proposition. Ii you ship
alfalfa seed to Europe the freight wih
not eat ii up. Alfalfa seed is worth So
much per pound. \ farm thirty miles
away from a railroad is practically as
valuable as one close to railroad, for
man can haul $1,000 worth OF seed ut
one load"
''Just at the time alfalfa blossoms and
the seed pods begin to form, ii there is
plenty OF moisture the second blossom
comes on and the strength that should
go to maturing the seeds in the blossoms
goes to the second growth and you get
no seed."
"All blossoms have To be fortified in
order to make them produce seed. Ii
we have our alfalfa real thick it is just
the top blossoms that get light, air and
sun and most OF the blossoms are not on
top, but along the sides and underneath
the spread OF the plants. ~
THE biggest yields oi seed have been
secured from thin stands.
"When alfalfa comes in bloom keep il
reasonably dry above the burning point.
Have enough moisture in the ground To
have it grow along slowly"
'Cut it about the time most OF the
seed pods have turned brown. Cut il
and handle it just like eggs.
"Put rows from eighteen to twenty
inches apart in planting for seed, and
cultivate. Planting six inches apart
SOW twelve pounds to the acre, anc
seventeen inches apart, SOW four pound,

Suit has been filed in the L. S.
Circuit Court against the United
States government by Jess s. Plain,
an entryman on the Minnedoka
project, to restrain the government
from advancing the price Of the
water right and to compel it to
furnish water without the pay
ment Of the advanced price. The
complaint is that the settlers were
given to understand, originally,
that the water right was to cost $40
per acre; but that it was subse-
quently raised to s2S, then t.
500 80 and finally to $3.50.

Mr.. Gillian of Gooding, who
purchased several car loads of po-

toes at good prices that can be
grown on the North Side. He was
especially pleased with the REQ
Peach Blow and advises every on,

The secretary then went on to eX-

New York, Nov. 17.-Absolute ces-

600 English speaking people through
out the world for five minutes, for ST
lent prayer and contemplation is a
suggestion which Senator Root of New
York has made for the celebration of
the Tooth anniversary of peace among
English speaking peoples
The suggestion was made public, to-
night, in the appointment by Mayor
Gaynor of a committee of one hundred
prominent New York men to have
charge OF the celebration of the cen
tennial so far as this city is concern
ed The national committee plans to
commemorate the peace anniversary
by the erection of permanent memori-
ais, rather than by the celebration by
pageants. For this reason it has been
necessary TO organize far in advance
of that time of the celebration which
will last from the 18th of February
1915, until some tune in the summer.
During this time, Great Britain. Can

speaking world will participate in the

"all officers will be line officers to be-
gin with, and would then take up
some speciality on shore in exactly
the same manner that the ordnance

ciaities are now taken up. 1t is not
ct all the intent that each officer shall
take UP speeialties. but that each
shall take up at least one speciality.
The gain will be inflexibility. 1t is
easily seen that if the navy We're made

Secretary Meyer declared that the
enlargement of the navy during the
past 25 years had had marked effect
upon the extension Of the iron and
steel industry and the cheapening Of
its product. "Sinee the navy has been
placed on a modern basis" he said,

OF the committee who replied to the

not, and who practically declared the

Il refer to Former Attorney General
Judson Harmon of Ohio" said Sena-
tor Oliver looking across the table
at Senator Pomerene.
The committee showed signs of an
incipient outbreak. Senator Pomerene
said that it was not Mr.. Harmon, but
his predecessor. Richard Olney, who
said in substance, that the law was a
dead letter. Mr. Harmon. he said, took
preme court the trans-M Missouri rate
case and made every effort to revivify
the Sherman law. Other members of
the committee refrained from taking
part in the discussion and it was
quickly dropped.
The dissolution decree in the Amer
lean Tobacco Co. case, dividing the
trust into four separate organizations,
was characterized several times dur
ing the hearings as construction of
the Sherman law which failed to re-
store competition or meet the spirit
of the desired control of the trusts.
Senator Cummins said he did not be-

forced under the present Sherman law.
There are clearly two movements UNI

law" said Senator Cummins; ''the first
for a mitigation of the provisions Of
the law; the other toward amendments
and supplementary acts that will
make it more efficient instrument for
the preservation of competition.
He expressed his sympathy with the
letter. adding that 1.-THE two plans have
little in common"
The effect of a law prohibiting di-
rectors of steel and coal companies
from sitting in the direetorates of
railroads was briefly discussed during
the hearing. Senator Townsend of
Michigan said he favored such an act,
