Violet the pride of the dairy de-
partment of the experiment station of
the University of Idaho, is produc-
ing. 80 pounds of milk every day, ac-
cording to e. B. Ellington, associate
professor OF dairying, who is in the
city for short time during the sea-
son of movable schools and farmers
institutes through this part of the
state, says the Boise Statesman.
The experiments that have been
made by this COW prove, in the mind
of the professor what can be done by
the farmers of the state who are in
the dairying business. Professor Ell
lington is enthusiastic over IdahO's
prospects in that industry and his
tests and experiments have been along
lines that he thinks will uncover some
new facts that will help the farmer
to make this a great milk producing
state.
violet is a pure Holstein," said Mr..
Ellington Saturday. "She has been
giving so pounds of milk or an even |
10 gallons every day for several weeks |
and this has been tested until it
shows up to 3.5 per cent butter fat
She is bringing into the station, ac
ccrding to the present prices of milk,
$500 daily. Her total production
would make her average three pounds
of butter every "a hours.

White Plague Victim.

Death came Saturday evening at
o'clock to release Ethel Hawks from
bondage of three years suffering
from tuberculosis. The funeral of
the young lady was held today at 2
o'clock p. M, at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Hare officiating.
The deceased was rs years, four
months and four days of age, and was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Hawks of this city. She was born at
Williamsport, N. D., but had been for
many years a resident of Moscow. In
her long suffering she was patient, and
before her illness overcame her was
a most generally popular and beloved
young lady.

BEST cow IN IDAHO
OWNED BY UNIVERSITY

This has been accomplished under
ordinary conditions and with ordinary
to produce milk to see just what we
could get out of her.
Next year the station intends to
make tests with this COW all through
the season in order to determine how
much butter fat she is capable of
producing when given certain kinds
and amounts Of foods and living I'M
der certain conditions. l believe that
this cow is one of the finest in the
state. At any rate, the station in
tends to put her in the race for a
record next season. She weighs about
1000 pounds and is four years old.
We are feeding her calf on the
SKINNED milk and selling the butter
fat ito the college creamery.
1T is interesting to the farmer to
know that these results have be.
brought out on feed of bran, alfalfa,
a mixture of bran and oats, and ,orn
silage. We have fed her 10 pounds
OF the mixture, SO pounds of silage, |
and all the alfalfa that she would
eat. l think that this COW will develop |
some interesting facts for the beae

How Hindus Obtain Fire.

method, says a writer in the Strand
Magazine, matches not being consid-
cred holy. The priest holding the two
ends of a piece of cord coiled around
a vertical rod, the lower end of which
fits into a groove cut in the block OF
wood on which the rod rests, by a
churning motion causes it to rotate
very rapidly, it being meanwhile kept
in position by means of a horizontal
handle with a hole in which the rod
turns. The friction between the rod
and the lower block of wood after
short time sets fire to the latter. This
fire, by timely nourishment, is devel
oped into a glorious fame. The IN
strument is considered very sacred By

The Fixed Size of Bricks.

If bricks were made larger, it would
save a great deal of time and labor
in building, said a contractor, but the
standard has been set, and any change
would be attended by considerable in
convenience. In England when bricks
were first made and up to sixty or sew
enty years ago, there was tax on
bricks, and in order to evade 1t, the
bricks were made of larger and larger
sizes. These were used for cellars
and other concealed places. To stop
this fraud, an act was passed in the
reign of George Ill, fixing the legal
size of bricks. Early in Queen Vic
toria's reign the tax was taken off, and
bricks may now be legally made of any
size whatever. But any change from
the standard size would bring about
great inconvenience. All calculations
are made for building on this stand
ard size, and the London and other
building acts have practically fixed it.
