WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wiring, but Old Gen.
tleman Had Some Trouble With
the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple, on the ur-
gent invitation of a grandson who
lived in the city, were on for a visit
The grandson's wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden of good things to eat.

RYE FIELD USED
THREE GOOD WAYS
lcre or Two of Rich Land viii
Produce Large Amount of
Early Green Feed.
(By WALTER B. LEurz.,


Rye which is sown in the fall for
green feed during cold weather may
be economically used In at least three
ways the next spring and the early
summer. One Of these ways is to use
1t for pasture. Another way is to use
1t for summer soiling crop for milk
COWS. An acre or two on rich land
will produce a large amount of early
green feed and the crop can be used
for nearly three months. To use rye
as soiling crop. keep the stock OF
1t In the spring and when 1t is tall
enough to cut take the mower to the
patch and cut enough for two days
feeding. Rake this and store it in
the barn and feed out. Then NOV
enough more for another two days
feeding and continue the same method
till the patch is all mown. BY this
time the rye of the first moving will
have grown up enough for a second
cutting and in succession it may be
cut several times during the early
spring and summer In this way a
great number of COWS may be kept
on a limited area Of pasture.

CARROTS DO WELL

Carrots do we'll on most any garden

should try to grow the carrot quickly
in order to secure tender, sweet. uni

crusty soil. Seeds may be sown In
rows by using hand drill. Have the
rows wide enough to admit horse cul-
uvation. When the plants have
grown three to four inches high, thin
ming should be done. leaving only the
larger plants In the row from four to
six inches apart. The seed should be
thickly sown for many may not ger

early. as the crop. especially the late
varieties require long season. The
carrot. like most all root crops, re-
spends readily to frequent cultivation.
Only the table varieties should be
grown in a home garden. BY judicious
choice of varieties, carrots may be en-
joyed for a long season. The late va
rieties can be left In the ground until
late when they should be dug and
stored in the cellar or buried in the
field similar to cabbage.

very regularly. Feeding time should
not vary ten minutes from a stated
hour. The stomach is a sensitive or
gan and soon becomes educated to
expect food at certain hours II that
expectation is regularly gratified the
animal thrives better. My method
of feeding horses is: Morning feed at
5:45 o'clock; noon feed at 11:45, and
night feed at $3.50 In winter, 5:45 in
summer This schedule is strictly

from fifteen to eighteen pounds of hay

pounds) in the morning. the balance

about March 1. add two quarts of
boiled barley to the evening feed. The
barley strengthens the stallion in
flesh and semen and makes him a
surer getter. During heavy stud
season mix half-dozen raw eggs with
the evening feed.
The stallion should be watered be-
fore feeding. Let him drink all he
wants. Water him after feeding also.
We now come to the actual act of
breeding. I advise that the stallion
visit the mare after four o'clock in
the afternoon, or even after six. It

stallion is 80 liable to become uneasy

The Editors Last Ditch.

An editor, who ran small news
paper in one of the backwoods settle
ments of Washington, wrote to one of
the largest patent medicine houses
in the United States, asking that they
advertise in his newspaper. There
came back a demand that the editor
justify his request by filling out a
blank, which required, among other
items, a statement of circulation and
something about the general charac-
ter of the subscription list. The ed
itor, in his next issue, printed the let
ter of the company with reply to
this effect:
"The Monroe Monitor is double tur-
reted and can shoot out of either back
or front door. 1t circulates among
the inhabitants of this busting back
woods village in exchange for the ne
cessaries of life. 1t goes to several
other counties in the state where the
editor is favorably but not well
known. 1t goes to many other states
of the Union for the same reason.

keep it from going to hell" He got

DR.. Sheldon urges the confessional
and the uniting of the protestants. A
Los Angeles dispatch says: DR.. c. M.
Sheldon, noted Congregational pastor,
lecturer, author and one of the most
enthusiastic workers in the ranks of
the Christian Endeavor hosts, in ses-
sion here, on Thursday, from the pull
pit of Dr.. William Horace Days Con-
gregational church, advocated the a
doption of the confessional for all
Protestant churches. To the confess
sional and to the fact that the Cathol-
ic church is under one head, DR.. Shell
don ascribed the reason for the power
of that church, and further, he recon-
mended the wiping out of all denomi-
national lines, and the assemblage
of all churches under one head. DR.
Sheldon said that he had used the con
fessional in his own church in Tope
ka, Kansas, and had found it means
of great good. All sorts of conditions
Of applicants had come to him, he
said, knowing that from him they
would receive helpful advice The
confessional, he asserts. ranged from
marital woes to college troubles and
because they had confided to him,
better results had been obtained than
the confessor had expected. Wiping
cut of UNCONVENTIONAL lines, he further
said, would unity the strength and
power for good of the church.

REASON FOR HIGH TAXES
Commissioner Robertson Says Expen-
ditures Are Too Great.

ditures Are Too Great.
At a Commercial club luncheon a
Standpoint the other day John Robert
son, representing the state tax com
mission, gave graphic explanation
of one potent cause of high taxation
in Idaho when he declared that tht
way to reduce the present taxation
burdens of the state is to reduce the
expenditures.
~ have been asked repeatedly il
the tax commissions work would eff
feet reduction in taxation" said Mr.
Robertson, 81 can tell you that il
won't. 1t can only equalize taxation
"The matter of reducing taxation,
is up to the citizens of the state. II
cannot be reduced while we are spend
ing, spending, spending.
down in my country in the Weiser
valley we boosted the big red apple
until we boosted our land values to
S175 and 5000 an acre at which a
mount our farmers were paying 81
and So an acre. That is almost con-
fscatory, for no farmer can make mon
ey and pay that tax.
1--WE have our land values too high.
We are trying to pattern after older
states We have had to have all the
state institutions which the older
states have, all very nice but entirely
beyond our pocket book. In other
counties the condition has been no
better, with local taxation as high in
some counties as 1920 a hundred.
"We bond for expenditures and we
are only paying the interest on these
bonds now and when we begin to re-
deem these bonds the tax burden will
be still greater"
Mr.. Robertson is one of the best
posted men on taxation matters in the
state and prior to the creation of the
new tax commission he served as tax
agent for the state board of equali-
cation during two different state adj
ministrations. He has long been iden-
titled with the problem of solving the
tax question in Idaho and his views
on the subject as expressed at Sand
point are along the right line. Idaho
cannot reduce her taxes while unwar-
ranted expenditures continue. 1t is
both impossible and unethical to save
and spend it at the same time.
