reverses all this; he goes hunting for
his capitalist master and when he has
found him he pays the master for al

the more sense?
| Individuals have limit to their
energy, which when once passed
through hard labor, devitalizes, is a
statement made by DR.. Scott Nearing,
! University of Pennsylvania, in a re-
cent speech. He declared that the
length of a work-day should be based
on the number of units which the par
ticular industry requires, and said that
in some industries four-hour day was
sufficient.
The measure of your revolutionary
principles is the activity which you
display in spreading them. The most

look very fine, but noise can never

Hon. Frank Reeves, Olympia. Wash.
Dear Sir: The Socialist party of

Be It resolved, That the Socialist

BEEF TRUST SURPRISES
MOVIE FILM THE JUNGLE"

The Famous Players Film Co. has
gone to a tremendous expense to
produce "The Jungle" written by Up
ton Sinclair. For some unknown but
suspicious reason the company is re-
fusing to exhibit the film in Chicago,
although this is the best paying center
for the movies"
Chicago Socialists have made re-
peated offers to the company to allow
the production of Sinclair's novel, but
the company is said to be standing
pat. 1t is charged that the beef trust
succeeded in squelching the produc-
ton of the play in 1906, and it appears
to have repeated the job now.

THE GREATNESS
OF BIRMINGHAM

Last Saturday Birmingham, Wash,
seemed from press reports to have
been the great social center of the
county.
1t seemed like a revival of the
towns boom days. A free excursion
was run from Everett to that place
where the guests were served fine
dinner of almost exclusive produce of
the vicinity.
Birmingham has a productive soil
and healthful climate no doubt but
the thing that makes her famous is
the crop of Socialists it has produced.
The last two general elections gave
the precinct to the Socialists, and the
last school election put a Socialist on
the school board.
BIG TIME COMING!
From the signs of present activity,
future elections will show continued
gain. Saturday evening, February 6,
the Socialists will give literary en-
tertainment. The reputation of the
Birmingham Socialists for social and
literary entertainments has extended
to the farthermost corners of the
county,
They are alive to the importance of
maintaining and building up the So
cialist press. They feel that if battles
have been fought to wiring from
tyrants the right of free press, now
that we still have left us that right it
is worth while to use it to the utter
most.
The entertainment is to be given in
the interest of the Washington So
cialist.

but Taylor had some horses to break
every spring and he and the fresno
!, s"raper~ and the sand dune did field
maneuvers with the wild horses till
there was nice level elevated feed
ing ground for sheep. 1t is SO sandy
1t could not get muddy If it rained
all the time. On lower ground, a
cozy nook protected and draining to-
ward the south was the fattening
yard for hogs. The ground was sandy
enough to keep firm in the rains.
Adjoining it was the sheep feeding
pen or yard. The farm raises hay,
grains, sugar beets, mangel wirzels
and other things that get marketed
right on the place. In addition to
that Mr.. Taylor buys of his neigh
bors. When the harvest Is over he
buys sheep to feed, and when seen
had a thousand in the fattening pro-
cess, 400 in hospital service" and
l4OO pasturing in beet fields among
the neighbors. The hogs are kept
in pastures in summer and when we
tell you how Taylor does his chores
you may see why some mems pork
is good to eat and deserves getting
into print.
At daylight in the morning a man
goes to the sheep feeding pen and
opens a chute in the granary, and
with a steel basket that holds 80
pounds of barley, he soon carries $50
pounds of grain and pours it into the
long rows Of clean feed troughs. Four
ounces of grain per sheep was the
ration, and when the table" was set,
the gates were opened and 1000
sheep trotted in to the feast.
Another granary 1T the hog yard
furnished barley 20 be dumped into
the feeders for the hogs, and they had
grain before them all the time and
eat t so leisurely Il does not need to
be ground. They are watered from a
shallow well outside of the yard.
Each day the hogs have some kind of
a relish. One day IN week 1t is
alfalfa leaves, and II ey enjoy them
like children eating popcorn. At
other times they are given cooked
grain with sugar beets cooked in it,
or mangels or potatoes. The cooker
is vat nearly as large as wagon
box. set on cement W.. lis where big
fire can be built under 1t and water
dumped in easily from the we'll.
Cooking in this way is no trouble.
The fuel comes from the grove near
by and he never has to go to the lava
beds for fuel; II grows on the farm.
After the sheep ate their barley
they visited around a while and
team was hitched to manure

and had the spiked culinder removed
from the rear end of the box, but the
draper left in place. The wagon was
loaded with sugar beets in the beet

A MODERN DAIRY

Among the new ind stries being
developed in Bingham county is
The Rising Sun dairy, under the man
Iagement of Ben Merrell. 1t Is situat-
ed three miles east of Blackfoot on
la 414-acre farm, and has one of the
few modern barns equipped for con-
venience, safety and durability. 1t
was built in 1914 with brick and
cement at the base and good con-
stru"tion for the upper part making
a very large hay NOW in what Is
known as the Palous roof. The
building is 30x60 feet in size, has
stall for 81 cows, is equipped with
Sharpless milking system. A gaso-
line engine furnishes the power for
milking and also supplements the
windmill when nature fails.
Everything about the place Is sup
piled with water from the pressure
tank, and pipes leading to the house
supply hot and cold water there and
also carry the hot water to the milk
house for the washing and steriliza-
ton of the milk vessels and bottles.
A sterilizing equipment is operated
in the milk house to keep all milk
containers pure, and bottling ma
chine enables them to cool and bottle
large amount of milk in a very
short time.
The amount of business done by
this dairy has doubled in two years

prompt service rendered to the pub

long ago modern milk wagon was
purchased for carrying the goods to
town, and 1t was considered quite

far off when the milk will be carried

the milk trade, the feed will be kept
in the silo and The Rising Sun dairy
will stand up and be counted among
the institutions that keep abreat Of

Did you ever have roast of pork
on your table and observe when you
went to carve it that it was stringy?
That pork came from no good
farmers hog.
Did you ever take bite OF roast
pork and discover just faint flavor
of sour alfalfa leaves and old mud,
so rank and faint and yet so pro-
nounced that you took bite of bread
or potatoes right quick the sam@ as
you take sup of water right quick
after some medicine? That bit of
pork came from a two-by-four pen
that was rip-rapped with the stuff
we mentioned and some that we
didn't mention.
Did you ever take bite of pork
that was just sweet and rich and
full of flavor and made you want
to keep it in your mouth as long as
you could it was so delicious? That
pork was part of hog whose whole
life was happy holiday spent on
the kind of farm you are just ready
to read about. 1t is useless for you
to dispute it for we can take you
right out and show you three differ
ent farms where the owners can be
caught with the goods. The hog kept
in small pen and fed on straight
diet till he is ready to br tcher; the
hog kept in wet, nasty pen where
he has to eat some of the nastiness IL
he eats at all and drink some of 1t
II he drinks at all and be some of
it If he lives at all; and the hog that
lives in the clean, open yards and
fields, and has baths and clean food
and change of food so that every
meal is relish and every day May
day picnic in hogdom. e.
Pass the first kind and the second
kind and try to forget them. If
you happen to get that kind Of a
roast from your butcher, you can
detect 1t while 1t is hot and steamy,
and you may rest assured he knew
better than to buy it, because he
knew 1t would be what it is when he
saw the surroundings the hog was
fattened in. If he is going to supply
you with pork it is his business to
buy hogs that have been raised right
and TO refuse to buy the others. We
are gG;nC to tell you story.
