An Opportunity For Farm
Boys.

One of our problems of today
is to get our young men to take
hold earnestly of the great agri-
cultural problems that confront
us, and prevent them from drift
ing to the cities to engage in
more alluring but often less de-
sirable occupations. In no field
of agriculture is there need of so
much extension and development
in Idaho and the entire North
west as in that of live stock pro-
duction. The officials of the
Northwestern Live Stock Show
believe that they can do much to
secure the interest, attention and
support of the boys of the farm,
and of many others through
these boys. by offering extreme
ly liberal prizes for a Country
Boys Judging Contest.
One of the most interesting
and valuable features of this
show held in Lewiston last De-
cember was the stock judging
for boys limited to Ithose who
had not attended an agricultural
college. Thirteen contestants
were entered and the prizes a.
warded were Shorthorn2 heifer
and Holstein bull calf.
At a recent meeting of the Of
ficials of the association cash
prizes of $3.50 were.set aside for
the farm boys judging contest
next December, and: in addition
animals have been donated by
officers and friends of the sshow.
This offers tidy sum as a re-
ward, probably more than is of
fered anywhere else in America
for similar contests. to the boys
who put forth the necessary eff
fort. The writer has ssvisited
several live stock producing Sec
lions of Idaho in the last few
weeks and found a number of
boys getting ready to try for a
portion of the liberal prizes Of
fered.
In these contests, correct plac-
ing of the animalsnssc counts sixty
per cent and reasons count forty
per cent. Three minutes are al
lowed for giving reasons to the
judge. There should be at least
fifty boys entered for next year s
contest. 1t is none too searly to
start to learn something about
stock judging, points of confor-
nation that determine the best
types of animals and to try to
acquire skill in giving reasons
for placing three or four animals
in order of merit.
Fathers can instructa aud coach,
stock men in the
community will undoubtedly be
glad to help young men learn
something of the business and
the writer will be glad to assist
if application is made, by recon-
mending helpful books and bull
letins. Let us start now to make
that feature an important one
and of interest and value to a
arge number of people.

Not so very long ago the practice
was followed by many dairymen of
moistening the ground grain ration for
the cows. Today 1t is generally recog-
nized that feeding such ration dry not
only keeps the cows from boiling 1t.
but before they can swallow it they
must chew the feed thoroughly and
mix 1t with saliva.

The small boy. as we'll as the larger
boy. will be saved good deal of dis
comfort If he will remember that
wiping the hands perfectly dry after
each washing will tend to prevent
chapped hands. IL the hands are al
ready chapped even greater care should
be taken to wipe them dry. One of
the best ointments to heal them Is
made by mixing about three or four
teaspoonfuls OF glycerin in two ounces
Of rosewater. This should be applied
at night and should be put on just
after the hands are washed and still
moist. then rubbed in over the stove

Cabbages require Il dry and cool
place for storage, and this is why they
spoil so soon when left on the floor Of
the average cellar, Market gardeners
and farmers who raise this vegetable
IN large quantities usually store them
out Of doors in the following manner:
After pulling. the roots are removed,
but as many of the outer leaves left
on as possible. A we'll drained riece of
land is then selected and the cabbages
placed in long row, the tier nearest
the ground three heads wide. the next
two and the last one. The conical pile
Is then covered with three or four
inches of coarse hay or straw: then
couple of burrows are turned with
pillow toward the cabbages on both
sides Earth Is then shoveled over the
pile so as to give a covering seven or
eight inches deep, Cabbages stored
carefully in this manner will keep well
until spring.

The vital energy used by dairy cows
or steers as tank heaters in warming
ice cold water that they drink means
corresponding decrease in the
amount of milk which they will pro-
duce or flesh which they will put on
1t follows from this that it is usually
cheaper to take the chill from the
water in some other way.

As the stormy and cold winter
weather comes on those farmers liv-
ing in the higher ATTITUDES may per-
form a real service for themselves by
taking some pains to provide food and
shelter for the quail and pheasants
that during the summer and fall may
have been frequenting the brush lots
and roadsides near their promises.
Especially is this true of the Hunga-
rian and one or two other types of
imported game birds winch have been
recently introduced and have not as
yet adjusted themselves to the severer
weather conditions. Simply from the
standpoint of what these birds will do
next season in the way of bug and in
sect destruction will more than pay
for the time and expense Ct protecting
them.
