How many people know anything
about the toothsome scallop? The lit
tie round bits of white meat we see in
the market are really the hearts Of BIZ
valves. In other words, the only edi-
BILE part Of scallop is the muscular
tissue that controls the opening and
shutting Of its shell. The name scallop
is derived from the f1uted shape Of the
creatures shell. These are very thin.
In fact. the weight Of the scallop is so
near that of an equal volume Of water
that it floats by the very slight propul-
sive force. given by the opening and
closing Of the shell; hence scallops
have the reputation of shellfsh that
swims. They are caught In scoop nets
as they float along with the tide

Every little while the French farm

other city. The banker holds the fund
till there is enough to buy bond or
some other security. when it is ship

into the family collection. The French
savings bank is the stocking, and it is
stuffed with securities from all over
the world.

that you are too mild hammered, too
gentle for this strenuous age, eat cat
mint Miss f. A. Bardswel1 in her
book "The Herb Garden" says cat
mint, one Of the ten varieties of mint,
is known as the herb of ferocity be-
cause of the ferocious disposition it
1mparts. "The herb when chewed,"
says Miss Bardswell, sis said to make
the most gentle person fierce and quar-
relsome. A legend is extant of a GER
tain executioner who could never mus
ter up his courage to the point Of hang

HERD TESTING.

While there are many high produc-
ing cows in the northwest, the aver
age production of cows being MIXED
is low. Figures from the last census
show that there are in the state of
Idaho approximately $4,000 cows be-
ing MIXED and are classed as dairy
cattle.
The value Of dairy products pro-
duced in the state of Idaho in only
about $2,OO0,000. These figures in
dictate that many COWS are being kept
at an actual loss to the farmer. Rec
ords that the writer has kept on diff
ferent herds over the state during the
past year show that twenty per cent
Of the cows were not paying for the
feed they consumed. For every dol
lar expended for feed stuffs some ami
mails we're only giving returns of rs
and 80 cents.
The dairy COW may be compared to
ed her in the form of alfalfa, oats and
barley and milk is the finished pro-
duet. Milk production is a question
of dollars and cents and if the mach
inc for the manufacture or milk can
not be operated on an economical
basis then it should be disposed of.
There is only one means whereby
the profitable COW may be detected
with certainty from the Improbable
one, and this method C onsists in
weighing and testing the milk and
keeping a record of feed consumed
for the entire lactation period.
Keeping daily records of milk is a
very simple and inexpensive task. AL
that is necessary is to have some form
of scales and a ruled sheet whereby
the milk weighed may be recorded
daily. 1t is well to use spring balance
scales that will weigh from one tenth
to thirty pounds.
The fat test should be made al
least once a month, the testing to be
done at regular intervals. Samples
from both morning and evening milk
ing should be used. For the small
herd a four bottle Babcock tester is
Of sufficient size and may be secured
at small cost from any creamery sup
ply company and includes full direc'
tions for conducting the test. The
manipulation of the fat test is very
simple but the directions should b.
carefully followed.
Guesswork is expensive to the dairy
man No person is able to go into 6
good sized herd and pick out all the
best COWS by examination. The high
est degree of success cannot be at
tanned unless the dairyman knows ac-
curately the record Of each COW. Sue
cess in dairying will depend upon the
farmers ability to lower the cost Of
producing a pound of butterfat.

BUTTE MEN VISIT ABERDEEN

claims of the Aberdeen Investment

land and the agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles of the Aberdeen-Springfield
tract, a group of fourteen purchas-
ers visited here last Saturday and
Sunday in company with Manager
l.. H. Lathrop and General Sales
Agent A. j.. Showalter-
They left Blackfoot in three
automobiles at an early hour Sat
urday morning and starting from
the head of the big canal, follow
ed down the length of the ditch to
Aberdeen. Five members OF the
party composed a committee repre-
senting 100 purchasers of townsite
properties. The others were inter-
ested in agricultural lands. and be-
fore they left for home two of the
party purchased improved farms.
One of these was A.. j. Mcdonald,
who bought the south half of the
Sweet farm, $50 acres, two miles
northeast of Aberdeen.
The price paid by Mr.. Mcdonald
for this place was $4,000, Oh the
basis of 1925 per acre.
The other was Paul Hardfes, who
bought the northeast forty on the
same farm. Both gentlemen re-
turned to Butte ON Sunday and Mr..
Hardies will return again June 1.
Several others in the party said
they would likely return in the
near future as they were much in
terested in what they saw.-Aber-

HOW BIRDS CHANGE PLUMAGE
PROF. Joseph 0rInnsII Makes Some In
terestIne Discoveries Which Agree
Not With Common Belief.

It has been generally believed that
the brilliant plumage exhibited by the
males of many species Of birds during
spring-that Is. during the mating sea-
sons directly connected with the
physiological condition Of the birds at
this time, and various theories have
been formulated to account for the
facts. Prof. Joseph Grinnell has found
IN the Californian nnnet SOME facts
that do not agree with tbs common
belief. In this bird the male presents
= brilliant red breast and nsok during
re mating season, whereas In the su-
tumn and winter the feathers have q
dull grayish colorfng, with a mere
suggestion Of pink. But the bird does
not moult (change its feathers) in
the spring. nor is there new pigment
formed In the feathers. BY collecting
a series Of feathers from August, when
the bird does moult, to the following
spring, and examining these care
fully, It was found that in the new
feathers the brilliant red is confined
to a narrow band, which Is overlapped
by the edge of the adjacent feathers
The overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed of and
lost, SO that when the mating season
arrives the bird has its brilliant coat
Mr.. Grinnell emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is &C
tually produced in the autumn, after
the mating season, at a time OF the
year when the vitality of the birds IL
supposed to be at its lowest ebb.
