GOOD FOR POLAR EXPLORERS
F~renchman's Invention of Much Bene
fit to Those Who Track Waste
Places of the Earth.

Count Bertrand de Lessups, son of
the famous Frenchman of Suez canal
lame, has constructed an air-propelled
machine which is capable of attaining
a speed of from fifteen to sixty miles
an hour over the snow, according to
the condition of the frozen roads. The
shoe-shaped chassis is attached to
broad, fat metal runners, and vibra-
ton is reduced to a minimum by the
addition of strong springs. The pro
peller behind the pilot is well guard
ed by a metal screen as a protection
against any one approaching it close
ly. When snow falls wheels are placed
On the projecting pins, which lift the
ski from the ground, and the car will,
then attain a speed of nearly one hun
bred miles an hour. Some such ma
chine as this is to be taken into the
antarctic regions by Shackleton with
his forthcoming expedition. Abroad
this form of amusement is called aero
skiing.

GOOD PROFITS FROM STEERS
Iowa Station With Five Different
Lots Of Animals.

At the Iowa station, during the last
season. most remarkable results were
secured with five different lots of TX.
perimental steers. The best paying
lot made a profit of $23.46 per head
This lot received 14.6 pounds per
head daily of shelled corn, three
pounds cottonseed meal and 2S.e
pounds silage. other lots we're fed
in comparison. receiving varying
amounts of the same feeds, and some
were fed clover hay in addition, but
the lot which received a ration in
which the bulky part was silage and
the concentrates consisted of shelled
that turned off the most clean money
No station has done as much ex
perimental feeding with silage ration
as the Indiana station at Purdue.
Many years of continuous records are
available at this station, and in nc
instance, from the standpoints Of
gains and profits, does any ration com
pare with those in which silage con
stitutes an important feature. Last
year 20 head were fed in lots of ten
each. The lot receiving silage, oats
straw and c~ottonseed meal during the
first 60 days, and corn, c%ottonseed
meal, silage and clover hay during the
remainder of the period. made the
cheapest gains. but not the greatest
Disregarding the pork produced Incl
dentally, the lot fed on corn, cotton
seed meal and silage made a profit
of $20.96 per head.
The Illinois station has several
years OF experimental data which
correspond closely to that already Civ
en-, and it is generally entirely favor
able to the use OF silage in the beef
ration. Illinois also found that for a
maintenance ration for breeding beef
cows, silage is a most desirable and
economical feed. 1t cost 40 cents per
day per head to maintain 140 days a
lot Of COWS fed on silage, clover hay
and oats straw; 4.6 cents per day
to maintain a lot fed on shock corn,
clover hay and oats straw and 81
cents a day to maintain a lot fed on
corn slower. clover hay and oats

One-half Of the feed cost the first
rear and one-third for the full two
years is for whole and skim milk.
By far the most expensive period
In the life of the calf is the first four
weeks, the cost being nearly double
that for any other four-week period.
This high cost is occasioned by its be-
ing dependent almost entirely upon
whole milk.
The man labor required in raising a
heifer is about 40 hours during the
first year and 23 hours the second
year. The total cost of man and horse
labor for the two years is close to IS.
The manure produced during the two
years has been valued at So: conse-
quently, the cost of labor is practical

charge for the use of buildings and
equipment, expense for bedding, mis-
cellaneous expenses, a share OF the
general expenses for the entire farm
business, and a charge to W. losses
by death and discarding. The total

the total cost Of the tw%o-year-old
heifer.
The foregoing figures show that 1t
costs more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the depart
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers, that 1t does not
pay to raise any but the best heifers.
Raising scrdb heifers and selling them
at s25 to $40 apiece, as many do, is
Improbable except on cheap land or
under other very favorable conditions
But il does pay to raise the best
heifers, for In good dairy sections we'll

Furthermore, dairy farmers as a rule
are obliged to raise their Own stock
as it is difficult to buy productive
COWS at a reasonable price. In some
sections of the West where alfalfa is

Southwest where pastures furnish feed

JAPANESE PLUM IS POPULAR
Many Of These Varieties Are Earliest
on Market and Sell Readily at
Good Prices.

Wy - AZ ~
Plums of the Japanese variety are
popular with most growers, particu-
larly in the East, because they are
hardy and come on early. Many
of these varieties are the earliest in
the market, and as they r always of
good color, either cherry-reds or light
yellows. they sell readily and bring
good prices.
They will grow well on almost any
kind of decent soil. and do not need
to be particularly coddled, although
they should have all the care that any
good fruit tree deserves.
The Japanese plum differs from the
domestic varieties in that its leaves
are longer, thinner and smoother, and
it has a greater tendency to produce
lateral fruit buds on the annual
growth. It's fruit is mostly short,
round and plump.
The Japanese plum is liable to In

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
According to investigators in the
department OF agriculture the average
net cost of raising a dairy heifer one
year old on a Wisconsin farm is 1882
and of a two year heifer S61.41. These
figures are applicable to other dairy
districts in the North and East where
land and feed values are similar to
those in Wisconsin. They are based
ON data obtained from raising III
calves from birth to the time they
enter the dairy herd. The details,
with a complete summary of the in
ve~stigation, have recently been pub
lished by the department of agricul-
ture in Bulletin No. 40, under the
title of The Cost of Raising a Dairy
Cow"
There are in the United States over
81. 200, 900 dairy COWS. These figures
give some idea of the Importance Of
this economic problem to the coun-
try as a whole, for these cows must
be replaced every few years. The
cost of the production OF these he1fers
is a large item in keeping down the
profits of the dairymen.
The new bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations of the
Jersey calves from which the items
of cost we're obtained.
The most important item vas the
cost of the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted tC
nearly two-thirds of the total net cost
of the heifer. while labor formed 1914
per cent of the cost.
Figures for the average net cost
of the o~ne-year-old heifer are as fol
lows:

1t costs $50 to raise a heifer, two
thirds of this amount is charged for

which can be grown on the farm at a

D. H. VanDeusen sustained a broken
collar bone and Gale Carlock received
painful bruises Saturday, when Mr..
VanDeusen's Ford car overturned on
top of Freezeout hill. Both men were
pinned beneath the car.
Mr.. VanDeusen was returning from
a trip to Boise, in company with Mr..
Carlock. At the top of the hill, just
before the descent was reached, Mr..
VanDeusen lost control of the car for
moment and it ran into the steep
bank and overturned with both pas
sengers underneath. Mr.. VanDeusen
was unable to move, but Carlock soon
extricated himself and with the as
sistance of some men who came a
long, released his companion. The
car was righted, and though suffer

ly drove the machine to his home in
town.
Though confined to his bed, the in
jured man is resting easy and expects
to soon be able to get around again.

WOMAN JURY DECIDES
W0MAN'S CASE
Finds Mrs. Bramblee of Pearl
Guilty of Violating the
Herd Law.

For the first time in the history OF
Emmett, women composed jury IN
lawsuit, tried in Justice Stokesbery's s
court Tuesday.
The case was that of Mrs. Luella
VonHarten against Mrs. Emily Bran
blee, both of Pearl, and it struck both
his honor and Constable Mech that 1t
would be appropriate to have women
sit in judgment over controversy IN
which women were concerned. Ac-
cordingly, subpoenas were issued, ana
in spite of the excuses that this one
had cake in the oven, that one had
a dinner to get, and another had
washing to put on the line, the con-
stable never finched and refused to
accept any excuses. A jury of SIX
women composed of Mrs. V. t. Craig,
Mrs. E. C. Rundstrom, Mrs. E. M.
Reilly, Mrs. D. NJ. Stokesbery, Mrs. M.
A. Fairchild, and Mrs. Z. 0. Mech was
selected and the case went to trial.
1t was noticed that the lawyers did
not attempt to "put anything over" on
the jury, that the judge wisely re-
Trained from instructing the jury be-
cause his wife was in the box, and
that Constable Mech was uncommonly
meek and humble for the same reason.
1t might also be noted that not a
single juroress went to sleep.
The case was brought by Mrs. Von-
Harten, charging Mrs. Bramblee with
violating the herd law by allowing
cattle to run at large in Herd Dis
trict No. II, in the neighborhood of
Pearl. The jury found the defendant
guilty after a short deliberation and
the Judge assessed a fine of $40 and
costs. County Attorney Henry ap-
peared for the state, and Attorney
White of Horseshoe Bend for the
defense.
