DEMONSTRATES IDAHO DAIRY
POSSIBILITIES
j. s. Stnson Makes Twenty-Five
Cows Net $4,000 Profit on
Twenty Acres

Twenty-Five cows on 20 acres Of
Idaho land and yielding a net profit
for the owner Of $2,50O is the record
made by j. S. Stinson, the prominent
dairy farmer Of this city.
Professor Il. +. Rhinehart, who
has charge of the dairy experiment
work for the Idaho agricultural col
lege, has been making a careful test
of the work done by Mr.. Stinson s
cows. A complete record was made
throughout the whole of last year
every cent the cows cost in the way
of feed and care was recorded; and
,ery cent they brought in for but
Ter, cream and milk was credited to
them.
This record has just been complet-
ed under the supervision Of Profes-
sor Rhinehart. 1t shows that the
COWS made an average profit for their
owner for the year OF $500. There
was a wide divergence in the cost
of the feed, also in the income from
the different cows. The 500 a year
is the average for the 25 cows, and
they were maintained on 20 acres OF
land that cost the owner 5000 per
acre.
These cows belong to the Jersey
family. They are not pastured at all
Mr.. Stinson holds that his land is
too high priced for that. They are
fed silage through the winter and fed
oats and peas raised on three acres
through the summer. The excess
milk not needed for the calves in the
herd Is fed to hogs, and this adds
to the profits of the little farm

Major Reed is to Take Charge of
The Idaho Exhibit at The Pam
anna Exposition

Major Fred r. Reed of Wendell can
now afford to laugh gleefully at the
twelfth session of the Idaho legisla-
ture which left him with no continu-
ing appropriation for the department
of immigration and labor, of which he
was appointed commissioner, for he
now has not only another official po-
sition but he has a title which for
length breaks all known records. Per
sons addressing Major Reed in the
future and desiring to confer his full
title must call his executive COM
missioner for the state of Idaho to
the Panama-Pacific international ex
position at San Francisco, A. D. 1915.
He has formally accepted the ap-
pointment from Governor Haines, has
qualified according to law, and is pre-
pared to begin in earnest the duties
of his new position, which are to con
sist chiefly of seeing the sum OF
100000 appropriated by the state for
an exhibit at the exposition, expend-
ed with as little waste as possible,
in order to bring the greatest re-
turns ON the investment.
Major Reed already has declared
his intention to administer the duties

OF IDAHO "GET
BUSY"

We must give women credit for be-
ing quick ON the trigger" If they
take instant action on important civ
ic and educational matters all over
the country, as they have done where
ever they have the ballot, it will be
a case of countrywide housecleaning
and rejuvenation to boot Read the
following about women voters OF Ida
no as told in the May issue of Pic
torial Review-one article OF the
great series on Suffrage:
"The women's first united political
effort was to secure public libraries.
That was ten years ago. At that
time the State of Idaho, greater in
area than all of New England and
half as large again as either New
York or Illinois, had fewer than l62,-
900 inhabitants. There were few
cities. The population was scattered
over this vast territory, on ranches
or in mining camps. There was a
crying need of books; yet there was
not a free library in the entire state.
Indeed there was not even law
which would allow the levying OF a
library tax within the state limits.
Increased expenses meant increased
taxes, and that means opposition. Th
women realized this, and out of that
realization grew their demonstration
method OF political procedure. They
set about providing books themselves
They made personal contributions an
secured others from well-to-do men.
Others gave travelling cases for the
books. Five hundred books were pur
chased and for two years the women
sent these books throughout the
length and breadth of Idaho at their
own expense.
In 1902 the women appealed to the
State Legislature to create library
commission and a free travelling IL
brary and to make it possible for
towns and cities to levy taxes for IL
brary purposes. At this time there
were only two Libraries in the en-
tire state aside from school libraries,
and these were subscription Libraries.
The women IS bill speedily became a
law; for the two years of the free
travelling library had created a state
wide demand for books that could
not be ignored.
Now almost every town of 1000 in
habitants in the state has it's read
ing room, where the travelling cases
are housed, and a nucleus of a IL
brary of its own. The state now ap-
propriates $4,000 annually for books,
with as much more for expenses. 1t
has created the office of State Lii
brarian in charge of the travelling Ii
braries. Miss Margaret s. Roberts,
daughter Of one of Lincoln's generals,
ably fills this position. Incidentally
Miss Roberts is President of the Col
umbian Club of Boise, the largest an
most powerful woman's organization
in the State of Idaho. Also Miss
Roberts Is the Idaho Vice-President
of the National Council Of Women
Voters.

: Every year quite large number Of

First Of all, It Is safer to be indoors

OF sheltering under tree just because
you have heard that It is dangerous.
It is dangerous to shelter under .

you are pretty safe. if you take shelter
