Scientific experiments have demon-
sstrated that, contrary TO the general be-
lief, the yellow color of cream and butt
ter is not necessarily an indication OF
their richness. 1t was discovered long
ago that most vegetable matter con
tains a yellow substance called CARO-
tin"-because 1t exists abundantly In
carrots, 1t is this substance contained
In the cows feed that gives rise to the
color of milk n butter. Carrotin Is
most abundant in the green forage
available In spring and ummer SO that
milk and butter produced then are more
yellow than in the winter, although the
percentage OF fat in winter milk often
Is actually higher than in the rich
looking product obtained In summer.

IA new application OF compressed air
10 In cooking. An electric air pressure
cooker has been invented, consisting
of an air tight chamber with an air
pump driven by an electric motor which
operates automatically. The advantage
OF the invention lies In the fact that 1t
preserves the flavor and prevents the
loss OF substance that usually results,
particularly in the case of meats, when
ordinary cooking methods are used.

PATRoNIzING PEDDLERs

In many cities boards Of trade are
taking up the question Of the town at
titude toward street peddlers. It is
certainly ar unfair proposition, when
Ia man who pays no taxes ON his stock
or business can come around from
door to door and get good trade. It
lis unfair to the merchants Of the town
who pay taxes and rent, employ labor
and support public activities Of all
kinds.
The nearby f1rmer who peddles
vegetables and fruits is on . different
basis, as large part of the money he
receives returns to our stores. But
the great majority Of people who ped
die from door to door are strangers
from a distance, who come here mere
" to carry away money and spend it
somewhere else. A ease in mind was
the bus from Pocatello here all week
of the Roundup.
A strict license system is the best
way to deal with peddlers. If they
are to make a profit by dealing with
our people, they should pay a liberia
revenue to help bear the burdens Of
the town. But even then it is poo1
policy to patronize them in place Of
the local merchants, on whose pros
perity the town depends.-Idaho FALL

OF INTEREST TO sToCKAGEN

The Supreme court today heard ar
gument on the constitutionality of the
herding and grazing act, OF vital inter-
est to every sheep and stockman in the
State. Two cases were consolidated for
the argument for both involves the same
issue. They are the State Of Idaho
versus Horne and the State Of Idaho
versus Secondhand Omaechevarria. The
former ease comes from Custer county
and the latter from Owyhee county on
appeal.
Taking the Omaechevarria case to
illustrate the question involved, Omae
ehevarria was charged by the State with
the commission Of a misdemeanor in the
herding, grazing and pasturing of sheep
upon cattle range. Trial by jury wa:
waived and the court entered judgment

against him, finding him guilty as
charged. Appeal is from the conviction
The police power Of the State il one of
the important questions involved in the
appeal.
The defendants in both cases alleged
that section 1872 which is in reality an
old statute under which the action was
brought, is in contravention Of section
l of article l of the constitution of the
State; that it contravenes section ! Of
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution Of the United States; that it
is in direct conflict with act of congress
of February 25, 1885. To render it oper-
alive two facts must be determined, it
was argued: first, that the range has
been previously occupied by cattle or
that it is usually occupied by cattle
either as spring, summer or winter
range, and, second, the exterior bound
airy lines of the range must be fixed.
The section, or section 6s72, under
fire provides as follows:
Any person owning or having
charge of sheep, who herds, grazes or
pastures the same, or permits or suffers
the same to be herded, grazed or pas
tured, on any cattle range previously
occupied by any cattle, or upon any
range usually occupied by any cattle
grower, either as spring, summer or win
ter range for his cattle, is guilty of a
misdemeanor; but the priority of pos
sessory right between cattle and sheep
owners to any range, is determined by
the priority in the usual and customary
use of such range, either as cattle or
sheep range. Capital News.
