weight OF milk from any other COW
Cows were valued according to the
number of pounds of milk they pro-
duced.
1t IS now we'll known that the
weight of butter or cheese that can be
obtained from a given quantity of
milk depends to a great extent upon
the weight of fat present in the milk.
For this reason, milk and cream are
now both weighed and tested for fat
by the BabcOck test at most factories.
Patrons are paid according to the test
that is, according to the weight of
fat in the milk delivered by them.

BY j. SAMIUS,

Before 1890, when the Babcock
test was invented. no simple, accurate
method was known by which the
farmer could measure the richness Of
the milk or cream which he sold, or
of the skim milk which remained. At
creameries and cheese factories, each
patron was paid in proportion to the
weight of milk delivered. It was then
commonly believed that 100 pounds

PEACH GROWERS
WILL HAVE GOOD
CROP THIS YEAR
Emmett Country Will Have
Total Production of 240
Carloads and the Prices
Are High.
(Stanf Correspondence

Emmett July 13.-The peach crop at
Emmett is figured at 240 carloads, ac-
cclC ing to estimates made by c. P.

7 MS is more than twice last years
p II crop here the crop last year to-
tain. about 100 carloads.
A.cut 100 carloads of this years crop
are already sold under contracts to
eastern buyers at prices ranging from
81 - SIS per ton. According to these
cent? acts the growers pick the peaches,
patk them in baskets and haul them to
TIE car. The eastern buyers furnish
the baskets. This is the first year
idaho peaches go to the eastern mar
kets in baskets, the usual method here
being to ship peaches in crates.
The Emmett peach orchards this
year will yield from 10 to Is tons per
acre, which means a gross return t the
growers of from 5000 to $500 per acre.
]. is estimated that the cost of pick
1ng. packing in baskets and hauling to
the car is about IS per ton, or from $40
20 $50 per acre, according to the size
of the crop. This would mean a net
Eeturn to the growers. who have sold
their peaches under the contracts
named, of $3.50 to S24O per acre.
Some of the growers here have
turned down offers of $25 per ton for
their peaches.
Eastern Peach Chop Short.
In talking with DR.. Burns and C. P.
Hartley, both of whom are peach
growers of Emmett, 1t was learned
that Georgia is the only eastern or
southern state having a good crop of
peaches this year Texas and Arkan-
sas. for instance, have only a % per
cent peach crop. New York and Con-
necticut have only a 10 per cent crop,
and Michigan's peach crop is only 10
per cent OF normal. Michigan last
year grew 5000 cars of peaches, as
against only 500 cars this year, Much
of the Michigan peach crop is handled
in baskets. The buyers who are con-
tracing for Emmett peaches to be
packed in baskets, expect to ship to
Emmett peaches into the markets usu-
ally supplied with Michigan peaches.
Mr.. Hartley estimates that 200 cars
OF peaches will be shipped from EN-
NETT in carload lots, and about 40 car
loads win be sold to local Idaho points
and hauled in wagons to Boise, Nampa,
Caldwell and other nearby points. No
doubt the Emmett and Payette can
neries this year will can a large amount
of Emmett peaches.
According to the figures herein given
the peach crop this year should bring
TO the growers of Emmett a gross re-
turn of about 5000 and a net return
OF something like $4,000.
Prunes Sell for $50 Per Ton.
Emmetts prune crop this year IL es-
timated at SO carloads as against so
carloads last year. Ten cars of Italian
prunes here have already been con-
iracted for at $50 per ton.

italian prunes six years old that will

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
Nine-tentns Of All Stomach Trouble
Said to Be Due to Acidity.
A Physicians Advice on Cause and
Cure.

A famous physician whose successful
researches into the cause and cure of
stomach and intestinal diseases have
earned for him an International reputa-
tion, said in the course of a recent lee.
ture that nearly all intestinal troubles,
as well as many diseases Of the vital
organs, were directly traceable to de-
ranged condition of the stomach which,
in turn, was due nine times out Of ten
to excessive acidity, commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which not
only irritated and inflamed the delicate
lining of the stomach, but also set up
gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is in
teresting to note that he condemns the
use of patent medicines, as well as Of
medical treatment for the stomach,
stating that he and his colleagues
have secured remarkable results by the
use Of ordinary bisurated magnesia,
which, by neutralizing the acidity Of
the food, removes the source Of the
trouble. He contends that it is as fool
ish to treat the stomach itself as it
would be for man who stepped on a
tack to rub liniment on the foot with.
out first removing the tack. Remove
the tack and the foot will heal itself
neutralize the acid and stomach
troubles viii disappear Irritating med
icines and medical treatments are use
less, so long as the contents of the
stomach remain acid; remove the acid
ity, and there will he no need of medi-
cine-the inflamed lining Of the stom-
ach will then heal itself. Sufferers
from acidity, sour stomach or heart
burn should get small bottle Of bisur-
ated maghesia from their druggists and
take teaspoonful in quarter of a
glass Of hot or cold water after meals,
repeating in Is minutes if necessary,
this being the dose which the doctor
has found most efficacious in all cases.
