'SILO FOR THE DAIRY
FARMER
Dairying and Feeding Discussed
at Farmers Institute
Feeding Man Also.

The farmers institute, held in this
city Tuesday, discussed dairying, feed
ing, hog breeding and feeding and do
mestic cookery.
The meetings were held in the High
school auditorium, and the attendance
was a great improvement over the
December meeting. In the afternoon
the characteristics and essential points
of dairy and beef cattle were demon
strated with live subjects furnished
by farmers.
The evening meeting was opened
with an address on domestic science
by Miss Kelly of the state university.
She dealt principally in cooking and
preparing food for man. She con-
tended that it is as important to
serve man with balanced ration as
it is to feed stock The high cost of
living, she said, could be reduced by
a study of those vegetables which con-
tain the same essential qualities that
meat contains, and which will take
the place of meat to large extent.
She mentioned in this connection peas,
beans and corn. Milk, she said, con-
tains more lime than any other pro-
duct used for food and should be par
taken of freely by those who have
defective teeth caused by deficiency
of lime in the system.
Dairying and the dairy cow was
the subject of Prof. Ireland's address.
He strongly urged the building of silos
on dairy and stock farms, and describ-
ed the different kinds and their prin-
cipal points of excellence.
H. L. Fest gave very interesting
and instructive talk on hogs. He con-
tended that the 2O0-pound hog was
the hog that was in demand at the
markets. The hog raiser should en-
deavor to breed such hogs as will ma
ture early and be ready to turn into
meat in the shortest time.

SHERIFF is ECONOMICAL.
Saving of $2,5ss Over the Expenses
of Preceding Year Shown.

Sheriff Frank Breshear's report for
the year 1913 makes very commend
able showing in the way of economy
in running his Office. A saving OF
$2,58817 in expense over that of last
year was made.
In the matter of salaries alone
there was saving of $808.25. In
1912 there were three deputies EN-.
ployed, two at salary of $1,000 each
and one at $1020 annually, which,
with the sheriff's salary of $4,000 PEI
year brought the total payrol up to
S5420. The past year there have been
only two deputies, with $211.75 ex-
pended for extra deputies, bringing
the total salary list up to S4611.
The year 1912 the sheriff's Office
reported a deficiency totaling 500.
During the year 1913 the sheriff 5
office has remitted total of $3.50
to the county treasurer, or differ
ence of S177O for 1913.
That the above tgures are not the
result of any decrease in the volume
of business handled by the sheriff's
Office the past year is attested by the
number of cases docketed. The rec
ord shows in brief that the present
administration has handled consider
able more business the past year with
a smaller force than was handled dur
ing 1912. The civil docket shows
283 cases handled in 1913 as against
258 in 1912; 81 executive cases in 1918
as against 63 in 1912, and log criminal
cases in 1913 as against IA in 1912,
or total of 456 cases in 1913 as
against 1896 in 1912.
In this connection it must be taken
into account the fact that the sheriff
has been required to pay his way on
railroads when travelling, the public
utilities commission ruling that no
official is allowed by law 20 accept
passes. Another item is the provision
of the law which deprives the sheriff S
office of all fees for the collection of
licenses in the county This makes
a difference of from $3.50 to 5000 in
the receipts of the office.

The John Henrys Entertained.

One of the most delightful social
events of the season was the slumber
party for the "John Henry Club" given
by DIR. B. O. Clark at his home last
Thursday evening. The jovial host
was ably assisted in dispensing hos
pitality by Walter Keith and E. c.
Rundstrom. In fact, they were the
'whole thing" until 10 o'clock, the doc
tor having date with Mrs. Stork.
Such innocent games as Tiddlewinks,
dominoes, checkers and Old Maid
were played and aroused the keenest
valry. E. C. Rundstrom won the
honors, and ]. R. Hunter took the
BOBBY prize without contest. The
punch bowl was presided over by Mr..
Hunter, E. C. Rundstrom was kept
busy guarding the refreshments from
an invading party of fair ladies,
who entered the house unannounced
and gowned in sheets and pillow cases
stalked like specters through the halls
and into the cellar Walter Keith was
the dispenser of matches, chips to
keep the fire going and long drawn
poker. Dr. Clark was becomingly
attired in a suit of gray, brindle tie,
black hose and laced shoes. Walter
Keith wore Heart -Shuffler and Mark
with shirt la decollette, and E. c..
Rundstrom was attired in the conven-
tional black with a Closecraft trade
mark. Space forbids describing
the brilliant costumes of the guests.
The menu of the spread ranged from
weinerwursts, anchovies, rye bread
to raw onions and coffee. The hos
pitality was warm and generous and
the evenings enjoyment was unbound
ed until the cocks began to crow and
brought up visions of stern spouses
awaiting the return home of their be-
lated bubbles. But whatever happen
ed, the memory of glorious time will
hnger till time is no more.

NEXT YEARS LECTURE
COURSE
Five Splendid Attractions Sc
cured for Next Winters
Entertainment.

The Emmett Entertainment Course
committee yesterday contracted for
next winters lecture course, and Sc
cured a most excellent selection. The
expense of the five attractions exceeds
that of last year by 5000 and is the
best ever procured in the history of
the organization But the expense
to the patrons will be the same as in
former years. The list is given below:
international Operatic Company, a
high class musical organization.
Dr. Thomas Green, one of the most
noted and popular lecturers on the
Chautauqua circuit.
The Stratfords, vocalists and instru-
mentalists of ability.
Beilharz, a character impersonator
who is very popular entertainer.
The Apollo Concert Company,
musical organization of merit.
1t is hoped to secure the Methodist
church for next winters entertain
ments, and this will be done if the
acoustic properties of the building are
nproved, as the trustees are now
aiming to do.

PARCEL POST OPENS
new FIELDS
Use of Mails Advocated by an
Emmett Farmer to Ship
Choice Fruits.

That the parcel post opens up a
big field of opportunity for the farm
er and his wife is just being brought
to the attention of the farming COM
munity, according to a well known
farmer, and he believes that the
fruit grower who will take advan-
tage of this opportunity in a sys-
tematic and business like way and
ship only choice fruit will find an
overwhelming market for his pro-
ducts. He says:
The increase in weight of parcel
post packages, which went into effect
the first of the year, makes it possi-
BILE to ship crates of fruit by mail at
reasonable rate within the first and
second zones, and the orchardist who
will put up fancy grade of fruit
and advertise his product will find
it is believed new and profitable
avenue of marketing his products.
There will be many little problems
to work out and no doubt many OBJ
stacles in the way at first. This is
new era opening to the fruit grow
er. But he should not think of enter
ing the field until he is fully prepared
to give his goods such distinct char
acter of excellence as to insure for
them a permanent demand from GUS
toners. When he is sure of that he
will find no dearth of customers who
will be willing to pay a little more
than for the common article. But
once his reputation for excellence,
cleanliness, honesty and promptness
is established there will be no limi-
tation, except that of his ability to
supply the goods.
The other day Horace Vose, a
Rhode Island farmer, died. He had
national reputation as turkey
raiser. He it was who for 40 years
had provided the White House with
its Thanksgiving turkey. The secret
of his success was that he raised
good, honest turkeys-the best that
could be grown.
The path to success is gained by
undertaking the job, whatever it may
be, in the spirit that animated this
New England farmer. If man is
to grow potatoes, or to make butter,
or manufacture sausage, or produce
fruit, he can achieve something in
particular by undertaking to see to
it that his product is the best that
can be had. The fruit grower who
will follow this plan in furnishing
customers with a superior grade of
peaches or apples or apricots or
grapes or pears, or any other kind
of fruit, and build up his reputation
and maintain it along those lines will
have no trouble in disposing of his
products.
In the shipment of much of his
produce, especially to Idaho points,
the parcel post may be used to ad-
vantage.
