PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
For REAL FARMERS

Under the caption Display OF
Temper" the Gooding Leader last
week comes out with mild defense
Of the officials of the Farmers Pro
tective League. The Leader refers
to the Recorder as generally regard
ed as The official organ of the Idaho
irrigation Co."
Whether or not the Recorder is the
official organ of the Irrigation Co. is
lot point at issue. However, for
the information of our misinformed
brother and our readers we will here
state that the Recorder is not con-
nected with the company in any way
nor are we interested in any advo-
cacy of the companys cause further
than may be implied by our opposi
ton to the selfishness and trickery
at the farmers expense.
We fully recognize the great bens-
hts to be derived from an organ
ization of farmers, promoted along
the right lines and controlled by real
farmers. We have no quarrel with
the water-users except in so far as
that term may be applied to a clique
of wealthy LAND owners who now con
tlol, by nefarious methods, the opera
tons of the Protective League to the
detriment of the community.
We have advocated and are now
advocating a change in management
for the Protective League. A glance
at the articles of Incorporation, by
laws and list of officers and counseI
of the League will convince the most
unwary that four closely associate,
land owners have a strangle hold OIL
its operations. Can anyone doubt
hat such control will ultimately be
disastrous to the small farmers? Lei
us have an organization controlled
by farmers and not by bankers, pol.
ticians, wealthy shcepmen and law
yers. Let us hare real farmers or
ganization.

some objections, but its advantages

IMPROVING THE DAIRY STOCK
University Of Wisconsin Expert
Discard Improbable Animals.

Professor Humphrey of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin gives the fol-
lowing ten commandments for better
dairy stock:
1. Treat COWS gently and avoid ex-
element.
2. Be regular in time Of milking.
8. Keep stables clean, wel1-lighted
and ventilated.
4. Weigh the milk of each COW at
milking time.
S. Get your neighbor to share with
you in owning Babcock milk tester,
and test the product OF each COW.
6. Discard the animals which have
failed at the end of the year to pay
for their keep.
Z. Breed your COWS to purebred.
registered dairy bull from a family
having large and profitable produc-
ton of butterfat.
8. Raise well the heifer calves from
cows, which for one or more genera
lions have made large and profitable
production of milk and butterfat.
9. Breed heifers to drop their first
calves at twenty-four to thirty months
of age. Give COWS six to eight weeks
rest between lactation periods

most modern ways of managing your

They relish 1t more than the most sue
culent thing you can put before them.
Unless you are willing to give time
and attention to valuable stock, don't
be too anxious to acquire such. Re-
member, however, that any animal
must have rational treatment to give
good results.
While fodder, when given out of
doors, should be fed in feed racks and
not on the ground, it is imperative for
the ground surrounding the racks to
slope away in all directions and often
it would be better still ii tile drained.
To keep bull good-natured he
should be raised with the other stock,
allowed to run In a paddock where he
can see the rest OF the herd. With
this treatment he will seldom pecome
cross.

your live stock can get at it all the

In keeping cows never be without

Better run a dairy without dog

HORSE LABOR IS NECESSARY
Many Important Factors Can Be Con-
troIIed by Manager in Making Dairy
Farming Successful.

Horse labor is a necessary item on
the dairy farm and should command
much attention from the manager. II
it's efficiency drops the profits of the
farm are decreased, and the profits
from the COWS must bear loss in the
horse-labor item. 1t is seen then that
successful dairying is not making a
success with COWS alone, hut proftably
combining number of factors. Man,
labor and crop yields per acre are
other important factors that can be
controlled to a considerable extent by
the manager.

Flavor Of MIX Affected

The odor and flavor of milk are very
readily affected by rape, cabbage, tur-
nips, and other feeds having strong
odors, and if these are used they
should be given after milking. in
which case there is little danger Of
imparting an imp aasant flavor or
odor to the milk.

of England
New York, July 13.-What the sub
marine has been to the dreadnaught
the British aeroplanes may be to the
Zeppelns.
For 3 months | have watched ami
helped in Great Britain's feverish
preparations to win supremacy of the
heavens. When | left HOunsloW my
brother fliers were confident that
with their Avros, Sopworths and Bile
riots, making 100 to 120 miles an
hour, they could in time sweep the
Teutcn sky dreadnaughts from the
heavens as effectively as the U-boata
have chased old England's battleships
to harbor.
A great white oval is painted IN
the middle of the flying field there
at Iounslow. And to my brother fiji
ers who scared daily in practice flighti
that oval meant just one thing-Hep-
pelin!
From all heights and at all angles
that target is being bombarded with
dummy bombs. BY such practice,
! England's greatest areial hero, War
nerford, acquired the skill by which
he Jagged the fist Zeppelin few
weeks ago.
The 'bomb-sighter is operated by
a Il. l., ~
j lot on all but the racing scout planes.
The sighter is composed of two deli
cate Instruments. With one of them
the observer determines the ground
speed, or time it takes stationary
object on the ground to pass . given
+ points on the sighter. The other is
adjusted to this, to the elevation and
speed, and then the trigger is pulled
when the object aimed at is in line
with the delicate sights. Pulling the
trigger releases the bombs carried or
a rack alongside.
The bombs used by the English
weigh about 100 pounds, and are load
ed either with shrapnc, or with petrol
for incendiary purposes. Dummy
bombs made Of wood and weighted
are used in practice.
1t is not generally known that some
of the armed aeroplanes are also
using wonderful rapid fire gun
which is made in America-the Lewis
gun, which is so light that it can be
lifted in one hand. II fires 40 cart
ridges a minute. The cartridges rest
on revolving plate or disc, and
drop one after another into the
chamber
Guarded by at least $50 aeroplanes
thus armed and stationed ready for
instant flight at five different fields

metropolis, London is considered per
fcctly safe from daylight attack.
London will still suffer from night
and early morning attacks, however
