8 FAULKNER DAIRY


The electric dairy one mile south
Of Meridian. owned by Pfaffle a.
Faulkner, now has 1870 head Of dairy
COWS, all OF which are Hoisteins hut
90 Pfadie e Faulkner started this
dairy q year and a half ago and are
developing Il into one Of the largest
and best In southern Idaho. says the
staff correspondent OF the Capital
News Their 160-acre farm here is
ideal for dairy purposes. Il is
equipped with first-ciass dairy barn.
milk house. two silos. good house,
etc.
The dairy barn is 80 feet wide and
s o feet long. II Will be extended 20
feet longer. and then will have silo
at each end Of the barn One Is 175-
ton siIo, the other holds $50 tons.
The barn Is lighted with electricity
and the COWS are MIXED with a milk
ing machine which is operated by
electricity. This machine is giving
splendid satisfaction The dairy barn
has cement floor and cutters. The
COWS are turned out OF this barn as
soon as MIXED, Therefore the barn
can and Is kept perfectly clean, There
ID a storm shed on the farm 20x100
provides good shelter In bad weather.
Fifty-two cows are now being
MIXED and Az more viii freshen i'm
side OF six weeks II only takes one
hour and Is minutes to milk the 52
cows with the milking machine. This
machine milks six cows at a time
and does the work thoroughly,
One Cow Gives Nine Gallons.
40. a
only Holstein COWS In the future In
addition to the 1870 cows, they have a
large number OF calves and two regis
tered Holstein bulls. The biggest
milk producer on the farm Is Tony,
four-year-old IIolstein giving nine
gallons daily. All the milk from this
Is sold in Boise on milk route
owned by the Cooperative Creamery
Milk from this dairy goes TO Boise
every morning ON the $3.50 car, and
every afternoon on the $50 car.
The 160-acre farm is being put in
TO corn and pasture, SO acres to be
in corn and Ito acres in pasture.
The corn is being grown to fill the
two silos.
All the hay fed TO the cows is first
chopped. In this way no hay is vast
ed. Pfaffle & Faulkner figure they
have saved 100 tons of hay since
| October 1, 1914. as a result of chop
ping II before feeding
One OF the benefits of dairying Is
in the fact that II builds up the land.
This spring, for instance, 1900 loads
OF manure was spread over this dairy
farm This manure is worth $1,000
easy enough.
| Electricity was installed on this
farm this spring. Mr.. Pfaffle, who
Is cashier of the First National bank
Of Meridian said the expense for
electricity on this farm is less than
for gasoline and oil which were
| formerly used. At the same time
the house and barns now are better
lighted. and the power for operat-
ing the milking machine, etc, is
better and steadier
A trip to this farm is both inter.
esting and instructive.

SPRING FLOW WILL SUFFICE

Unless the run-off Of the Boise riv-
er should be considerably less than is
expected, there will be no shortage OF
water on the Boise-Payette irriga-
ton project this year, according to
Supervising Engineer Weymouth.
The reclamation sryice expects less
water than usual on account of the
exceptionally dry winter, but taking
that into consideration. Mr.. Way
mouth said Wednesday that there
would probably be plenty of water.
There is now available in the Ar
row Rock reservoir twenty-six thou
sand acre feet of water" said Mr..
Weymouth. In the Deer Flat reser-
yoir there is available for delivery
$3.50 feet. Should the Boise river
rnn-off be anywhere near normal we
win store in Deer Flat reservoir one
hundred and fifty thousand acre feet
this season, The Deer Flat reservoir
Is now two feet deeper than it was at
this time last year. All the water
we have at Arrow Rock may be re-
garded as surplus as compared with
what was in storage at this time in
1914.
There is unquestionably less flood
water TO come than there was last
season, but we will probably have
plenty of water for the land now un-
der cultivation.

POWER COMPANIES WILL MERGE

Without hesitation or reservation
q. nj. Dahl OF New York, vice presi-
dent of the Electric Bond & Share

al Securities corporation, told the

Monday OF the plans that have been
taken toward the formation OF d

teen million dollars. The Idaho-Ore-

Idaho Railway, Light & Power com
pany and its subsidiary, the Idaho
Power & Light Co., have already
been practically acquired By the Ma
tional Securities corpration. which
in the holding company 10 hold the
securities.
The object Of the hearing was to
obtain information regarding the
merger and determine whether It
would be in violation of the state
antitrust law. The governor direct
ed the attorney general to make an
investigation. He in turn authrized
the utilities commission TO conduct
an examination, with Captain Davis
as counsel. The hearing lasted but
a few hours.
Mr. Dahl was the only witness. He
is one OF committee OF five bond
holders of the various utilities i'm
volved. who undertook the amalga-
nation of the companies iii an effort
to put them on paying basis. In
order TO better carry on the work. he
said, they organized the National Sc
curities corporation under the laws
OF Virginia.
He explained that the Idaho-Ore-
gon and Idaho Railway, Light &
Power company bondholders turned
in their thousand dollar bonds and
would receive securities of the Ma
tional Securities cmpany in ex-
,hange.

PROTECTING BLOOM
FROM FROST DAMAGE

The stephens Orchard company
has about two miles OF smudge piles
composed of stable litter and straw
on the east and south lines OF their
orchard and along the ditch bank
within, says the Nampa Leader They
also arranged with the Boise wealth
err service for frost warning.
Wednesday evening at about 10
O'Clock, Mr.. Wells phoned that II the
night remained. clear which was like
" d temperature OF 80 degrees at
Boise might be expected Since the
temperature reading in Boise are
made In town we may expect low
or readings In the country. MIR
stephens prepared TO light every
third pile in the lines OF smudge
which are placed four TO eight feet
apart. In that way the litter prepared
could be utilized for smoke through
three frost warnings.
Fortunately the wind changed
about 3 a m and blew off mist and
clouds which dissipated all dangers
OF frost. The temperature Thurs
day morning had risen to AZ degrees.
Il Is not expected to derive any
benefit from heat generated by the
combustion but II the rays of the

BY frost before the rays OF the morn
ing sun can quickly draw the frost
before the lost cell moisture can be

problem.
Lofty rows OF trees on the east
side OF the orchard, high hills inter
ceptiDg the rays OF the morning sun
are very great assistance In les
sening or preventing loss during frost
periods. The free use of water during
frosty nights Is very helpful by In
creasing the humidity of the atmos-
phere.

haps at a temperature of so degrees |

Mr. y. F. Hurst, six miles west OF !

his orchard. was able to guard the /
fruit against a temperature OF 10 |
degrees below freezing point in the !
spring OF 1914.
