PROFITABLE WEIGHT OF PIG.

Experiments made for the purpose
OF determining the economic weight
OF a pig show conclusively that il
never should be fed beyond s or 9
months old, and the largest profit is
made, as a rule, at s, not exceeding
200 pounds. What is known as the
TODD OF support plays a very import
ant part in the profit and loss of large
weights. Suppose, as many farmers
say, that the pig is not to be fed be-
yond 5 or . months old, he must take
from his food an increasing amount
each day, to support or maintain the
weight already gained, or else he
drops back. Experiments indicate
that , per cent of the live weight in
food must be taken each day to sup
port that live weight.
It the animal weights 800 pounds,
this means about b pounds OF food
daily or over 40 pounds per week. and
as the only profit is the food that is
applied to make new weight it re-
suits that over 40 pounds OF food are
consumed every week from which no
profit whatever is reaped. 1t follows
that the most money can be made
from young pigs killed at a medium
welght.-Fruit Journal.

LICE ON HOGS.

1t is quite common to find lice
where there is any number of hogs in
any locality. 1t requires great ct
fort on the part of the caretaker of
hogs to keep these varmin down. Hog
houses should be cleaned regularly,
all straw and litter should be remov-
ed and burned, and the pens sprayed
with about a per cent solution OF
some good coal-tar disinfectant. The
hogs may also be sprayed but the sol
ultion should be much weaker tor
spraying hogs than that used for the
pens. Three to S per cent solution is
strong enough. Some hog raisers are
using a regular dip, having installed a
plant so that they can dip their hogs
about once month. Others construct
wallow which is partially filled with
water and then some kerosene added,
Tie oil boats on top of the water
and the hogs take their wallow and IN
this way come in contact with the oil
and this destroys the lice.
Another method is to wrap rubbing
posts where the hogs come to rue
themselves, with burlap, occasionally
saturated with kerosene emulsion, SO
that when the hogs come to ru1 tney
smear themselves with the OIL anu
this does away with the lice. How

BURLESON WOULD SAVE AT
EXPENSE OF RURAL CARRIEF

The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors a change in
the rural delivery system whereby
carriers will have to bid for the work
and obtain it by bidding lower than
any one else, is causing great appre-
hension among rural carriers all over
the country. This is the old star
route system revived. Under it, the
bidder would no doubt be allowed to
take on as many contracts as he could
handle, and every rural carrier would
become the employee of the contractor,
instead of Uncle Sam as he is now.
In time, the contractor could become
a big corporation which would fix the
compensation of the men who do the
work at 5000 to $500 a year, instead
Of $1,000 to 81, 200 which the govern
ment now pays them direct, and the
contractor would get rich on the work
of the carriers. The contractor would
come to own the horses, wagons or
automobiles and the carrier would be-
come mere driver.
Postmaster Burleson is also doing
his best to transfer the parcel post
into freight post. Mail-order houses
under such a rule would soon be de-
livering bundle of shingles by mail.
The weight of the parcel has already
been raised to so pounds for certain
zones, and Mr.. Burleson now wants
to raise the limit to 100 pounds.
The threatened change to 100 lbs,
postal experts say, would certainly
not be a move to bring the farmers
nearer their market, but one to build
UP the big cities at theex pense of the
country districts.

THE PEOPLE AND FOOL" LAW

The people always find some way
of getting around a "toor law. In
one small county in Wisconsin there
have been "solemnized" no less than
eight common-law marriages since
the so-called eugenic marriage law
was declared constitutional Ill that
state. The common~laW marriage
consists in little more than the agree
ment on the part of the man and wo-
man. in the presence OF witnesses, 70
accent each other as husband and wite
and TO assume the responsibilities ana
privileges ordinarily attached to such
union. The contracting parties
were persons who had refused to sub
NIT to the medical examination re-
nuired before marriage license may
be issued. H. ,,,,,o
nronortion will doubtless hold: In
other words. the citizens of Wiscon-
Sin are dodging the law, as the citl,,
7ene Of all states dodge all freak. and
fanatica1 laws. There is no limit to
the distance to which some OF these
Iaw-inyentors will go. That was well
illustrated in Chicago, recently. dur
mo The National Convention Of Alien
;ete in the La Sale Hotel. The dis
cussion that day had been upon the
rather advanced" topic OF the de-
sexing of detectives. After the meet,
ING newspaper reporter interviewed
one of the prominent physicians in
the lobby. The eminent medical man
was asked if he really advocated SUCH
IDEAS as were discussed at the meet,
ing, eyes" he replied, land l would

fifu1 specimen of womanhood over
vonder-the lady in the sable. furs,
Who is holding the poodle dog in her
arms? Well. if I had my way,
J would compel that woman, by law, to
I have baby in her arms. And do
YOU see the fine young man speaking
to herr He is probably a young man
about town, bachelor, with no re-
sponsibilities, no family cares, no
home except a bachelor apartment
I would compel that man to marry
such 4 woman as the one to whom he
is speaking and | would compel them
by law, to have children"
IF this doctor had his way he would
provide for the propagation, OF the
species under police supervis1on-tor
his plan would mean nothing else
And vet his proposal is not a whit
more foolish nor absurd than dozens
of others which go into the legisla,
tive hoppers every year. Some OF
them die in the committee rooms, Du'
others emerge, full-fleged and appeal
proof laws, to stand, stumbling blocks
in the path of the real progress.

ONE DAY LEFT IN
WHICH TO RESERVE SEATS

The Lecture Course Committee
have sold about 345 tickets this year
and a few of those have not been re-
served yet. The supply of seats is
extremely limited. There have been
enough advance APPLICATIONS for The
Killarney Girls to take every seat left
in the house. We will begin to sell
those tickets at Wyckoff's Saturday
and we do not believe that they will
last very long. Those parties holding
tickets must get them reserved be-
fore Saturday for on that date we will
sell every unreserved seat in the
house.
The course this year gives promise
of being an exceptionally fine one and
as the seating capacity is extremely
limited we urge that those persons
having season tickets make their re-
servations at once. Remember that
on Saturday, Oct II, we will offer all
unreserved seats to the general pub
lie. There are about IS season tickets
out yet who have not made their re-
servations. Do not forget that you
have but this one day to make your
reservations.
We are safe in asserting that the
Standing Room Only sign will be
hung up early, if not at the opening
of The Huree Monday evening, Oct
20. We have fine entertainment
coming Outside of the holders oil
season tickets, there will be about 4C
tickets for sale. Forty tickets will moi
go very far.

this time. This seed, according to the
departments information. was all i'm
ported at approximately the same
price as that sold for 81 to $3.50 per
bushel in the early part of the season.
The present high price, therefore, is
regarded by the department as I'M
warranted, from the standpoint of the
supply and the import price of the
seed. Some dealers are continuing to
sell at the former price, but these are
exceptions.
If the present high price is main
tanned, the specialists are doubtful
whether crimson clover can be profit
ably used as a green manure crop for
seeding in corn or on a vacant ground
or under other conditions where the
catch is not reasonably certain I'm
der such conditions they point out
that it will be better practice to SOW
rye this fall and use the difference in
price in adding nitrogen to the soil
in the form of nitrate of soda or some
other highly heterogeneous fertilizer
The rye will afford a winter cover,
preventing washing and teaching, and
can be plowed under in the spring to
add humus to the soil.
When crimson clover is being used
regularly as a winter cover crop in
orchard culture, or where local ex-
perience indicates that good catch
and good crop are practically GER
tain, a higher price for the seed will
no doubt be justified.
A somewhat similar condition exists
with reference to hairy vetch seed
There has been approximately six
seventies as much seed imported since
November l, 1913, as in the year pre-
vious. This shortage, however, is
partly counterbalanced by the increas'
ing domestic production of hairy
vetch seed. Wherever the price o.
hairy vetch seed is found to be ex
orbitant, the same change in farm
practice is recommended as that sug
gested in the case of crimson clover

REPUBLICAN PARTY FOUGHT
BIG BATTLE FOR PROGRESS

1--WE are told that the Republican
party is reactionary, hoplessly reac-
tionary; yet some of the people who
tell us this propose to make out Of
the Republican party, that is, out of
the voters who constitute the party, a
thoroughly progressive party: They
propose to take the material which
they say now is hoplessly reactionary,
give it new name, and tell us that
It is grandly progressive, For it is
out of Republican voters, Republican
material, that they are going to make
a progressive party. Where are they
going to get the votes out of which
to make a third party That being
true, | do not see why we cannot
make the Republican party itself
thoroughly progressive as well as
take its voters and make a progressive
party. When you come to analyze
this, the voters are the same in both
parties. | am going to try to show
you that the voters, the rank and file
of the Republican party, that which
constitutes a party, are progressive,
and have been fighting the battles of
progressive legislation and admins
tration for sixty years, and that all
that is necessary is to give freedom
of expression to the views of the
voters which under the present
changed machinery of the party we
are prepared to do."-Senator Vim. E.
Borah, at the Ohio State Convention

REPORT OF BRESHEARS
SHOWS ECONOMY
ISiPRACTISED

That the demand of the taxnavers
Tor economical and efficient admins
tration OF public offices is being met
with by the Canyon county sheriff is
amply evidenced by the report filed
by +. M. Breashears, sheriff and can
dIdate for rejection, with County
Clerk Stovel, Monday.
Inc report which covers the quar-
ter ending September 30th, 1914. is
the pest report that has ever been
submitted by the sheriffs office of Can
yOn county, excepting that of April |.
19I4, which was in the amount of
$lozO./|, and each report shows dis
tInct saving in every department of
the work, and that the amount de-
posted during the present term I'D to
October LIST, 1914, is $45O0.3J.
Inc total amount expended as
shown by the report for past quarter
totals $953.24, while the receipts were
Sl9l4.lS, leaving a net profit to the
taxpayers for the quarter of 5000
The showing is most remarkable be-
cause Of the fact that the act creating
the Public Utilities commission car
ries provision prohibiting railways
from issuing free transportation and
the travel expense necessary for the
proper conduct OF the office must be
deducted from the receipts. Hereto
tore Sheriffs have not had to pay this
heavy expense.
Not only is the sheriff's office con-
Quoted by Mr. Breshears economical,
but it is highly efficient as well. That
the work of the present sheriff is ap-
precited and that he will be reelected
by substantial majority is a fore
gone conclusion.
The report filed Monday is as fol-
lows:
Report of F. M. Breshears, sheriff
of Canyon county, for the third quar-
ter, 1914, beginning July 1st, 1914 and

WAR RAISES CLOVER
AND VETCH SEED PRICES

Prices for imported crimson clover
and hairy vetch seeed, have recently t
encv that specialists of the. Depart
ment of Agriculture fear that the
cost of these seeds, of which! Europe
is the chief source, will interfere with viii
clover crops In fact, it is feared that
the prices of the seed of these lee-
gumes may go so high as to make it
inadvisable to plant them this year,
Before the present European con
ditions arose, crimson clover seed was
selling at from 81 to S. per bushel.
In to August IS there was a SCARCITY
Of this seed in the United States,
owing to the fact that the receipts
rom Europe were smaller than usual;
The prices then advanced to from. "
to 50 per bqshel. Since that 70 date tsri im-
until there is now more imported seed
available for fall seeding than there

STATEMENT BY
SHERIFF BRESHEARS

When entering the sheriff's office in
January, 1913, planned that the work
of the Office should be conducted
along economical lines and have at all
times endeavored to carry out that
plan and wish to submit to you the
following statement and figures to
show what has been done.
Under the former sheriff in 1911
and 1912, for the period. of Il months,
SIS cases were handled and the work
done by the sheriff and three deputies
Under the present administration for
the same number of months (2l) there
has been 826 cases handled by the
sheriff and two deputies.
Also during the term of the former
sheriff for the years 1911 and l9lE
there was turned into the treasury OF
the county from the sheriff's Office the
sum of $43178, while for the Il
months of the present term we have
turned into the treasury the sum OF
$45O0.63 an amount larger than has
ever been turned into the county
treasury during the term of any sher-
if of this county.
The sheriff's office has also been
deprived of some revenue which 1t
formerly had, by the last Legislature
repeating Section 1888 of the Revised
Codes, which cut out license Tee
collected by the sheriff on all licenses
issued in the county and which
amounted to about $4,000 per year;
Owing to an act of the Idaho Utili-
ties Commission the sheriff has been
compelled to furnish his own trans
portation since 1913, which was fur
nished to former sheriffs.
1t has also been reported that the
prisoners of the county Jail have beer
extravagantly fed. During the year
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1914-10-16

1918 and the first six months of the
year 1914, the prisoners have been fed
day.
And permit me to state here these
are not just figures procured at ran
dom, but any one is at liberty to ex-
anime the books and see for himself
Just where they come from. Receipts
are on hle and of record to show all
OF the foregoing.
Respectfully submitted,
