WHAT BECAME OF THIS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED?
State Demands Money From Canyon
County for Taxes of Year 1907.

There seems to be a discrepancy
somewhere in Canyon county or in
the State of Idaho. The officers of
one or the other during the year 1907
made an error of $lsO5l3 During
that year c. S. Geisler was county
treasurer. His books were examined
by State Examiner c. E. Goaslind and
found to be correct and in accord with
the books OF the state auditor and
state treasurer. On December 8,
County Treasurer Monk received the
following communication from State
Treasurer Allen:

The Treasurer.
Boise. Idaho, Dec. 8.
Will Monk, Esq,
Treasurer Canyon County,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
There is due the State of Idaho from

the milk is concerned. Increasing the

increase the pounds of milk she will
give but the milk is of the richness

statements apply to COWS under nor

of course, will change according to

SELECTING THE DAIRY BULL
Many Farmers Make Mistake in Try
ing to Buy Cheap Scrub Rather
Than Good Strong Animal

A great many farmers who buy a
registered dairy bull make the seri-
Gus mistake of trying to buy a cheap
pure-breed scrub rather than a strong
foundation animal on which to build
the future herd. The only thing they
look for is the fact that the bull is
registered and is offered at low
price. But if ever a man needs a
ffrst-clasS animal it is when he is
starting. Most men start out with
the idea that they can buy such an
animal for $50 to s100 But if one
was offered them for 5000 that had
come through a long, careful line of
wise breeding they would refuse to
consider it. Right here is where they
make their mistake When men start
to look for bull price is the last
thing to think Of So many farmers
look at this important subject wrong
end foremost Let them really inves-
tigate the breeding policies OF differ
ent men and they will see what a seri-
Gus difference there is in the money
value of one animal over another.
Don't let a few dollars come between
you and prosperity

VERDICT A FAVORABLE ONE
Small Girls Pretty Answer to Stupid
Question of InquisitiVe
Busybody,

She was a pretty little tot, and ey-
erybody who knew her took pleasure
in pausing to ask her some kind OF a
question, merely to show an interest
and for the pleasure of hearing the
musical cadence of her voice. Some
of the questions were what might be
termed leading but for all she invari-
ably had some kind of an answer.
Among these latter inquiries was one
from an intrusive busybody who was
old enough to know better, but who
belonged to class of persons who
never learn. Knowing that the little
girl had only recently become the pos
SCISSOR of a young and attractive step
mother, with curiosity Unborn she
asked her frankly:
We'll, Pollykins, how do you like
your stepmother?"
The child raised her blue eyes grave
ly, and with her face glowing with
happiness, replied:
"oh, very much, indeed, Mrs. Skill
lington. We fit very nicely, consider
ing that she got us ready made

Millions for Anti-TubercuIosis Work.

Millions for Anti-TubercuIosis Work.
Money to the amount of over S14,-
100000 was spent in anti-tuberculosis
work during the year 1911, according
to the third annual statement Of ex-
penditures in the war against con-
sumption issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. The statement is
based largely on reports received from
anti-tuberculosis agencies in all parts
Of the United States
BY far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatoria
and hospitals, and for the erection of
institutions of this kind, over $11,S00,-
900 being spent for this purpose alone.
Dispensaries for the examination and
treatment Of tuberculosis spent $780,
900, and associations and committees
in their educational campaign against
tuberculosis spent 100000. The re-
naming s1,300,000 was spent for
treatment in open-air schools, prisons
and hospitals for the insane, and also
for the work of state and local boards
of health against tuberculosis.

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions
That IS why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected
Kidney disease is SO dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or a fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tions. Look for any OF the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark 0- too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent. profuse. or much
reduced, or scaldint and painful.
Sandy, srtty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-lookinG layer which gather.

or q jelly-like thickeninG.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
fsom things eaten, but if the changed APP
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.

SKIM MILK GIVEN TO CALVES
Best Way to Make Use of By-Product,
But Not Unless Done In Right
Way-Makes Good Veal.

About the most satisfactory way to
use skinned milk is to feed it to
calves, but not unless it is done in
the right way. Sour, cold milk in
dirty pals will not make profitable
growth and is out of the question for
veal calves. Skinned milk will make
hrst class veal and the calves will
grow nearly as fast, make as heavy
weight and sell for the same price
per pound as if led on whole milk
But the milk must be fresh from the
separator, and pals must be washed
every day. The calf must be fed reg
ularly and three times per day is
better than twice per day, as a calfs
stomach is small. much smaller in
proportion to his size than that of a
cow. Even the veal calf should be
encouraged TO take all the grain that
he will. Cheap -four added to the
milk is quite important in making
growth. The calf will consume more
skinned milk than he would of the
whole milk but the extra cost is not
very important, since skinned milk
is not reckoned very high in the mar
ket. Raising veal calves by skinned
milk requires some care and intelli-
gence. One feed of milk in the wrong
condition will check the calf's growth
and make the buyer find fault or re-
fuse TO pay the whole milk calf price.
Raising calves for growth is anoth-
er matter requiring somewhat less
scrupulous care Most of the trouble
usually comes from feeding them in
old dirty pals with stale soured milk
in the corners full of germs which
produce scOurs and intestinal trou-
bles. Btu they will grow well on
skinned milk fed with reasonable
care. At the Wisconsin station it was
concluded that to raise a calf on whole
milk is four times as expensive as
to raise it on skinned milk although
the whole milk calves will grow a lit
tie faster but it costs very much more
per pound to get the growth. The
skinned milk calves consume about
twice as much grain as the others, but
two pounds of grain would take the
place of one pound Of butter fat in
the whole milk OF course, dairy
man cannot afford to feed cream to
his calves when grain will answer
the purpose.

PUBLIC FUNDS AID THE WORK
Gratifying Sign That the People Are
Awake to Value CT Fight Against
tuberculosis

Compared with the expenditures for
past year are practically the same in
the aggregate, but they are almost
double those of 1909 The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, in it's third an
nual statement, points out, however,
what it considers more significant
than the aggregate expenditures,
namely, that the percentage of money
spent for public funds is greater in
1911 than ever before, being 66.2 per
cent. of the total. In 1909 only 53.5
per cent of the total expenditures
was from public funds, and in 1910
1t had increased to 626 per cent. In
1911 over $s9,60O,OOO of the 100000
spent was from federal, state, munich
pal or county funds. Since the chief
work of the anti-tuberculosis associa-
lions is to urge the public authorities
to provide for tuberculosis patients,
and thus to assume the responsibility
for stamping out this disease, the in
creased percentage Of public money
is regarded as very favorable sign
Of progress.
Appropriations Of over s10,O00,000
for tuberculosis work in 1912 have al
ready been made by state legislatures
and municipal and county bodies OF
this sum about $4,700,000 Is from
state appropriations, and about $780,

DAIPY NOTES
- = zssA =, GxGs.zS

A strange mixer often makes the
COW nervous.
One bit of impurity in the pail may
spoil a whole dairy's milking
Sunlight and pure air are absolute
Iy necessary IN the dairy barn.
Dairy farming is one of the most
permanent systems of agriculture.
Just because a COW is dry is nc
sign that she does not need any feed.
The by-products of the dairy in
crease the earning capacity of the
farm.
The constant demand for good
dairy stock makes it bad policy to
sell the good heifers.
The successful dairyman endeavors
TO raise all the feed needed for his
COWS on his own farm.
Success lies not in the number of
COWS that man keeps, but rather
the kind of cows he keeps.
The per cent of butter fat in a
COWS milk is not sure index to her
capacity as butter-maker.
The profit of a COW depends upon
he amount that she yields above the
actual cost of feed and care.
Shrinking cows can hardly be
brought up again this season. Dc
your best to make them hold up
The separator should be placed
where the light is good. Working in
dark place is always a disadvan
tage.

USE OF SANITARY MILK PAIL
Much Easier to Produce Pure Milk
by Keeping Dirt Out Than to
Clean II Afterwards.

Only those farmers who either fall
to profit by the lessons taught in pro-
ducing sanitary milk, or who have
never learned such lessons, continue
to milk in the old-fashioned open pail,
into which falls filth from the cows
tanks and which allows the milk to
absorb all the odors that surround it.
By the use OF sanitary milk pals
dirt can be kept out Of the milk. and
that is the main thing 1t is much
easier to produce pure milk by keep
ing the dirt out of it than to attempt
to take it out after it has once
fallen in.
But the sanitary milk pail alone
will not give us clean milk. The COWS

A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
CTOPpEn

How many people who reed this article.
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity Of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living
Yet it is a leakage that can easily be
stopped If the housewife will only pay a
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking, and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled balSings than you spend on bak-
ing powder In the whole year. The cheap
Big Cam Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
feel that q baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust" brands. This is a mistake as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for 25c per pound if the man
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physicians and chem
lists: used in millions OF homes; and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition.
