New Mexico rule is: Multiply the
width in feet by the over-divide the
product by four and multiply divi-
dend by length.
Suppose we have stack Tor rather
pile it would be) that is 20 feet
wide and 80 feet over. BY the New
Mexico rule, 20 by 80 over gives 600;
divided by 4 gives $50, which should
be the square feet in cross-section.
BY the Idaho rule, 80 less 20 wide
gives 10; divided by 2 gives 5 and
multiplied by 20 wide gives 100, or
only two-thirds as much as the New
Mexico rule.
Again suppose we have stack as
mentioned in the second paragraph
with the over exactly twice the width.
Let the width remain as before, 20,
ard the over be 40. BY the New
Mexico rule, 20 by ~ gives 500, 81
yided by is 200, the square feet in
the cross-secti0n, BY the Idaho rule.
0 less 20 wide is 20 divided by 2 -
&c; and multiplied By 20 wide is 200
square feet i1 the cross-sectio l, the
same as thu ether rule.
Yet again suppose the stack to be
:: 0 feet wide with 80 over. T.. the
New Mexico lie, 20 by 80 gives 1GNo
divided by 4 is 400, the sIp% ,sed
square feet ii cross-section. 2y the
7aho rule, 80 less 20 is 60; dividsc
by 2 is 80, multiplied by 20 wac is
600, or II times as much as b. the
other rule. Thus it appears that on
large stacks the New Mexico stock
man would be anything but liberal in
buying, if that is the rule followed.
But which is right? A comparison
with triangle and rectangle will
serve to prove the New Mexico rule as
given absolutely wrong except in the
one exception already noted. At the
same time it will prove the Idaho rule
as acurate as it is possible to get at
the cubic content.
First let us take triangle with
the base IL feet and sides 10 feet
each, or used as hay stack, 20
foot over. The heighth of this tri-
angle will be feet, dividing it into
two right angle triangles with 6, s
and 10-foot sides used the world over
in squaring. To find the area of
triangle, multiply one-half the base
times the height. Thus, ~ divided
by 2 is 6; times high is 4S square
feet. Applying the New Mexico rule,
IL by 20 over is $40; divided by is
60. Thus is proved the fallacy of that
rule for that shape of stack, as it
shows II square feet more in the
cross section than it can possibly con-
tain. The Idaho rule solves it cor
rectly. The 20 over less IL wide is
8; divided 2 is 4; multiplied by IL
| is 48.-Exchange.

on this new business and we will be
able to make further. reductions in
rates."
So urgently did Senator'S Bristow
and Bryan attack the proposition that
the changes would result in increased
profits for the government that little
was said about the power of the post
master general to make such changes.
Later in the day, Mr.. Burleson dem
onstrated his determination not to
allow his plans to be interferred with
by issuing the final order putting the
new regulations in force on August
18th, 1913.
Another meeting of the senate post
office committee was called for to-
morrow. At that time Senator Bry-
an will urge a favorable report on
his bill to repeal the authority Of the
postmaster general to make changes
of the nature in question.

BOOK ON IRRIGATION is
REGARDED WITH FAVOR.
Written for Those Not Familiar With
Soil and Crop Problems by Prof.
w. H. Olin Of the Idaho University.


American Irrigation Farming" is
the title of new book just of the
press of McClurg & Co., Chicago. The
author is Professor w. H. Olin. di-
rector of agricultural extension, Uni
versity of Idaho, Boise.
The book is nicely bound in cloth,
has 1854 pages filled with useful CASH
able information. The "how and
why" of irrigation is made sufficient
ly interesting to entitle the book to a
place among the "ten best sellers"
Seventy photographs pertinent to the
text, illuminate the pages from cover
to cover An Introductory page by
the author states:
This handbook has been written
for those not familiar with soil and
crop problems under irrigation. The
author believes that it may be of
some assistance to rural school class
es in agriculture seeking information
on irrigation farming. Where posi-
BILE technical terms have been elm
mated and discussions given in well
understood terms.
1.-The work is divided into three di-
visions:, Part l treats of the history,
terms and principles of irrigation.
Part discusses some of the more
important things the farmer must
consider for successful crop farming
under irrigation. Part gives irriga-
ton data, facts and tables for refer
ence use on the farm.
1.-THE pictures have been chosen to
illustrate facts described Or explained
in the text matter of the book. They
are designed to interest, while they
impress the lesson sought" and then
the page concludes with parting
thought that has really actuated this
labor of love-" for such has been the
preparation of this book by Professor
Olin. IF this book helps the farmer
boys of the west to decide to stay on
the farm and make it pay greater div
idends, its mission will have been ac-
complished."
Dean w. L. Carlyle of the Univer-
sity of Idaho in his tribute says: mo
man has wider acquaintance or a
more extended knowledge of success
full irrigation farming practice than
has Professor Olin. 1t is with much
pleasure, therefore, that l very heart
lily commend this book to all those
engaged in the practice of irrigation. /"

BURLESON WILL MAKE
PARCEL POST CHANGES
Reduction in Parcel Post Rates and
Increase in Size of Packages Will
Take Effect 10th of This Month.

WASHINGTON Despite senator
ial criticism of the proposed reduc-
ton in parcel post rates and the in
crease in the size of the package,
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounced today that he would issue
the final order at once putting the
changes in effect August Is. The
announcement came after the wisdom
of making the changes had been sub
jected to a searching review before
the senate postoffice committee in the
presence of the postmaster general.
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission explaining why
the commission had sanctioned the
proposed changes, said he believed
the postmaster general had ample
power under the law to make the
changes. IT am convinced that the
postoffice department ought to, can
and will extend the parcel post until
1t will carry all packages up to 100
pounds" he added.
In the statement issued today, the
commission says it has no jurisdiction
over the compensation paid the postal
service for hauling the mails
In answer to criticism of his action
in reducing the rates and increasing
the sizes of parcel post packages,
Postmaster General Burleson, appear
ing before the postoffice senate COM
mittee today read letter from the
interstate commission that the rail-
roads were ready to accept the change
and that the change would result in a
benefit to the public.
Senator Bristow said he believed
the postmaster general had a right
to change the rates and conditions II
the interstate commerce commission
approved. The other senators agreed
but questioned his authority to aband
on the distinctive stamp.
"I felt that congress wanted the
postmaster general to go ahead and
improve the service and not to con-
tinue standing STILL" continued Bur-
leson." We are going to make money

of an examination to be held on Au-
gust 18th, 1913, for clerical positions
in the internal revenue service and

IDAHO RULE OF MEASURING HAY

Subtract the width from the over,
divide by and multiply this diidend
by the width. This gives cubic con-
tent per foot, and the dividend multi
piled by the length will give the con-
tent of the stack. The New Mexico
rule is different, but both rules ar
rive at the same result when the over
is exactly twice the width. When the
over is more than twice the width the
New Mexico rule gives more. cubic
feet than the Idaho. The Idaho rule
is correct for all regular figures Of a

reported that in many neighborhoods

of the rural route carriers fear their

A Blessing.

lt is becoming more and more appar-
ent that the mortgage is the great
fundamental force in the building up of
our country's industrial and agricultur-
al systems, and through these enter
prises blessing to humanity generally.
Notwithstanding the fact that until re-
cent years the mortgagor was looked
upon as poor fellow in a hard place,
but was IN reality the progressive man
of the times, and is the man who owns
the land today.
Our great railroads were built by
funds secured by the sale of mortgages
to small as well as large investors.
Mortgages put lights and water in
our cities and our homes; possible only
to the rich few years ago, now con-
venience in villages, towns and moder-
ate homes.
Mortgages brought the telegraph
and the telephone.
Mortgages equip our manufacturing
SOA'N~Ab 9 anu obOSh DuT farms. Make
possible the creamery and the cheese
factory.
Replaces primitive methods with the
gasolene engine and the electric motor.
And in thousand and one other ways
makes it possible to live better and keep
the cash within our reach by improved
appliances.
The mortgage supplies the progress
sive man with the means, and in turn
furnishes the investor with the very
best security as well as a splendid re-
turn in interest
There is no security on earth like the
earth itself.
