reserves the right to deny the super
annuation pay to the inefficient. Unde
the act Of 1885, still in force, the COM
missioner Of the treasury are prohibited
from paying the full amount of the al
lowance TO any person of rank beneath
the head officer of the department save
upon the production Of a certificate ign
ed by the head officer that the employe
has served with diligence and fidelity to
the satisfaction Of his superiors.
Under the act of 1907, In case Of the
death of any male civil servant enter ng

after serving five years or upward, the
treasury may grant to his lega persona.
REPRESENTATIVE gratuity equal to the an

civil servant dies after retirement hts
personal representatives may be given
by the treasury a sum equal to the DIFF
ference between his approximation al
lowance and the annual salary eceved
by him at the time Of his retirement.
Let us see how this affects the indi-
vidual clerk. Take the case of a man
working in the home Office at e 90 a
year, or approximately 5000. After
twenty years of service he falls Ill of an
incurable disease and may be retired at
twenty-eightieths, or one-fourth of his
annual pay. approximately $500. quite
enough to keep him out Of absolute want.

tires at sixty years of age. he will get

lily will get an equal amount.

granted. and no addition shall be made in
respect of any service beyond forty years.
This means that If a man should retire

Retirement may be ordered by the head
of a department in the case of any officer
of that department who has reached the
age of sixty years. At the age of sixty
five every officer must retire. with the ex-
ception that In sp cial cases the treasury

History of the Leghorn Family.
(By w. F. Edwards in the Twin Falls
Times)

(By w F. Edwards in the Twin Falls
Times)
Nothing certain is known Of the
history of the Leghorn Family. 1t is
known. however, that the breed came
originally from italy. The develop
ment of the breed up to its present
standard has been a long course of
eulling and wedding out OF the poor
er stock and of line breeding of the
best stock But two varieties we're
perhaps the original Leghorn The
region around the seaport of Leghorn
is generally supposed to be their
home Like many Of the good breeds
their good laying qualities, early ma
turing and hardy nature and for
aging ability making the cost of up
keep low, were recognized before
much thought was given to the his
tory of the breed and the possibility
for fancy points. They were brought
to this country about 1890. At that
time there was no standard color or
shape A few progressive breeders
seeing the possibilities there were
in store for the breed began a sys-
tematic series of breeding and Gull
ing. Certain types were found to be
better layers than others ana these
were the ones used for breeding. New
varieties were created sometimes by
using another breed. but mostly by
breeding of colored specimens of the
original breeds The type of the new
variety remained the same but the
feathering was different Nothing is
constant I'm nature. Change IS always
taking place While the parent stock
may be Of a certain kind the offspring
may be very different in some of its
characteristics. For instance, solid
black bird will occasionally breed a
white offspring. BY taking advantage
OF this fact many new varieties have
been created. In breeds thus made
cases of system are frequently found.
That is, there is a reoccurence in the
variety of certain characteristics of
its progenitors. For example, white
breeds that have come as sports from
black breeds will show now and then
black feathers in their plumage This
is also very noticeable in clean legg-
ed breeds that have been produced
from crosses with feathered legged
beds. Feathers will show once in a
while on the shanks and toes where
they should not. Nor do these cases
occur only in the first generation.
Very often the first generation will

HOW MUCH WATER
Elaborate Field Experiments to Prove
How Much Is Best For Crops

Elaborate Field Experiments to Prove
How Much Is Best For Crops.
Don H. Bark, head of the irriga- +
ton experiment work for this state,
was in Richfeld this week, making
arrangements for securing data on
the use Of water on the demonstra- F.
ton farm adjoining the town. He will
have Is men at this work this sea-
son. scattered all over southern Ida
ho the most elaborate system of
experiments along the line of get
ting the actual use-value of water
ever conducted in this country.
This work is of an intensely prac-
tical nature. The state has endea-
vored to apportion its irrigation wat
ers so as to obtain a maximum of
efficiency; realizing that every foot
of water that can be saved and us
ed is a real state asset. Yet some
of the earlier dog in the Manager de-
crees of irrigation water give a full
miners inch of water to each acre
of ground-and some of the earlier
StllltIS, WuO NidlAutI iiOlt water
than they had land to farm, have
used two, three. or even four times
as much water as was good for the
soil and the crops. just to hold it
against some later claimants. 1t IS
time for some real scientific know
ledge as to the use-value of water,
and the governments experiments
are along that line. If crop is bet
ter, or Just as good, for using less
water than it has usually been Civ
en-, it may be worth fortunes to the
state to know it; both in he raising
of that particular crop, and in in
creasing the surplus of water to irri-
waite other lands. There are hun
dreds of thousands of acres that
could and would be irrigated if the
water supply were only adequate.
The science of irrigation is almost
as mystifying to many beginners, as
black art To know how and when
and how much to water, is some
thing that is vital to success. The
government is proposing to learn a
lot of these things, and to spread
the knowledge wherever it will do
good Idaho is just now the best place
to both gain and impart this know
ledge.

as a poorer specimen from first class
stock 1t is the blood line behind the
individual that counts for more than
the individual We speak of certain
strains. II means nothing more than
that some breeder has line bred his
stock for enough generations to know
that there Is no bah trait that will
likely crop out in his stock He can
not say positively that this will not
occur but it gives him a wider mar
gin on which to base his claims than
the man who breeds promiscuously..
Among others who are practicing
close culling of their flocks on this
tract. is Mr.. Marmke, president of the
local poultry association. Mr.. Marin
Ike breeds Buff Leghorns, and his
flock bears out his statement that he
uses the chopping block to good eff
feet when the breeding season COM
mences. Out Of a flock of about six
ty chicks of this years hatch, we saw
but one OF two that were off color and
these will be used for early frys. His

the standard as nearly as possible. Nc

part of the selection was easy, but

shafting or mealy appearance as de
manded by the Standard was not SC
easy. However Mr. Warmke exhibit

and Jerome shows this last winter
and this way got some good advice
from the judges Of those shows. The
buff color is really an unnatural col
or for a fowl, and consequently hare
to breed. There is a tendency towar,
too much contrast i'm the differen
sections Of the same bird. The Stan
dard calls for a harmonious blending
Of buff i'm all sections as most desir

but this color must be bun ana not
reddish or brown color. In shape the
Buff is the same as all other varie-
ties of Leghorns. In the scale of points
in the new Standard of Perfection,
81 points are given the Mediterran-
can breeds for shape. 4 for condition
and SO for color. OF these . points
for shape, there are 20 allotted to
the head and adjuncts. so it behoov-
es breeders of this elias of fowls to
watch closely for good mead points.
Twenty points on shape and four
teen on color of the head, comb,
eyes, beak, wattles and ear lobes
make over a third the value of the
bird. The cry for low tails in the
Leghorns has been too loud. The cuts
use1 by some breeders in the poul-
try journals of low tailed birds, male
birds especially, show the main tail
feathers almost horizontal. This is
as far from the Standard shape as of
the tail were perpendicular The
Standard calls for the tail, and that
means the main tail feathers, to be
carried at an angle of forty-fe de-
grees from the horizontal in the male
and forty degrees in the female. The
call for the extreme low tail is per-
haps only a passing fad and will soon
be forgotten
