big shady grove is pleasant place
for hogs to assemble and sleep and
visit and play hockey till it is time
to go and eat again. If any or all
of them want to go swimming in the
brook it is all right. and they can
roll in the sand and run races and
practice yelling "Woff! wolf" by
equals, and they develop naturally
They will be clean, strong and
healthy, and when finished off in the
large fattening yard as we have de-
scribed, the pork will be delicious.
Mr.. Taylor buys sheep in the fall
and when they are well developed and
fat he sells them. When spring
opens he has little stock left but the
work horses, mich cows, stock hogs
and poultry. He has the summer to
raise crops. The fertilizers from the
feed yards are used promptly. There
is no lack of employment on the
place; they are busy the year around,
and the winters work is the most
profitable.
Mr. Taylor tried an experiment on
vegetables as sheep feed last fall, and
was happily SuIpIiScu at IIle TSSulLS.
He has raised mangels and sugar
beets and has decided to raise both
and also wants to get some mangel
beets which are cross between the
two and are compromise of the
large size of one and the sugar of
the other. The plan is to take the
sheep that are being fattened early
in the fall, and put them in the field.
Allow them the liberty of the mangel-
beet patch till they eat off the tops
and as much of the body as protrudes
above ground. Then each day at
feeding time, take beet puller and
lift few rows and follow with the
harrow to put them on top of the
ground and get the dirt off. The
sheep eat them and grow and fatten
rapidly. While he has not tested it
with the beet-mangels, he thinks the
mangels are worth eight dollars a
ton for this purpose and the beet
mangels, he believes, will be worth
even more. He has raised as high
as 38 tons per acre of mangels, and

George H. Fisher is the chairman
of the asylum board and lives at Ban
croft, Bannock county, where he is
in the mercantile business as the
senior member of the firm of Fisher
& Alley. He is AZ years old and has
had more years crowded into that
time than falls to the lot of many
men. His parents were among the
pioneers of Oxford, Idaho, and he has
taught school, served as missionary
in Hawaii, member of the legislature,
bishop of the ward, dispenser of mer-
chandise for his community and now
as member of state board-all re-
quiring personal service and sacrifice
for the benefit of others.
But Mr.. Fisher enjoys activity, and
generally makes himself felt In poll
tics he shows the opponent a good
campaign; If he is just going for
drive he draws rein over good
horse. If he is selling goods he sells
the kind the customer will want more
Of and treat him in a way that opens

spread those sugar beets out evenly
so that when the thousand sheep
were turned in. each one could get
his pound and quarter, and they
went like hot cakes on a frosty morn
ing. Then the sheep visited around
a while and were given a load of hay.
Listen while we tell about the
hospital corps" Mr.. Taylor bought
some Montana lambs that were poor.
He shipped them to Idaho and turned
them out in the fields where they
grazed the alfalfa stubbles and ditch
banks. They were so starved they
were busy all the time among the
stubs and the first thing Taylor knew
stuck with the sharp stubbles. Their
noses and lips were bunch of seabs
and something had to be done He
took them to the Happy Hoggery and
put them through the chutes. Each
lamb had chance to look into a
bucket of some kind of salve that
Taylor had mixed up for the oc"a-
sion; species of Penetrate. made
of grease and coal oil, and each little
nose was ducked into the bucket and
to run along to make room
for the next one. Four hundred little
sore noses went through the chute
and came out snorting. They We're
put on hospital diet, hay and grain,
for a short time and all of them re-
covered and were ready to take to
the field again.
At different laces about the farm
there is timber. 1t was ONE Albert

the way for repeat orders. He is a
natural leader among men, and can't
help launching out and doing things
for public good. He led the work in
securing the state highway through
his community, and that is only a
sample of how he gets into service
for the public good by natural tend
ency to act upon opportunities.
Mr.. Fisher is great lover of home
and good living. He counsels with
his wife on many matters and their
comradship is a basis of happiness.
She taught school when he taught,
accompanied him to Hawaii, labored
with the natives when he did, and has
always been eminently ambitious and
courageous as his helpmate. She is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. r.
Lewis, of Oxford, Idaho, and has al
ways been prominent in social and re-
ligious affairs where she lived. She
is now the president of the Young
Ladies Mutual Improvement associa-

that gives returns of about $500, or
to take a more moderate yield TO
% tons per acre, it makes v-ry
attractive profit. Mr.. Taylor says it
is folly to feed stock monotonous
diet of hay and grain when it adds so
much to the values in every way to
combine the vegetables and other
relishes. Mr.. Taylor has no barn;
just some old log stables, but he
showed us very fine site for a barn,
and remarked that according to the
almanac there is another year COM
ing.
We suggest that the man who is
not farming satisfactorily and wants
to get some ideas that will help him,
would do we'll to take trip to Mr..
Taylor's farm and stand around and
study the situation for a while We
have not told you all about it, nor
made it plain like going upon the
place and seeing it. You don't have
to plan just what he has, but when
you see the groves, the open water,
the wells, the we'll drained feeding
grounds, the granaries, the feed
troughs, the chutes, the sheds, the
cooker, the feeders the scales, the
portable fences, the beet cellar, and
the way all things combine for con-
venience and cleanliness and making
stock healthy and brisk, you will be
glad you went, and you will come
away planning some kind of Happy
Hoggery that is better than what you
had before.

The Man in Rubber
Boots

In the land of irrigation
Where the desert blooms as the rose
There dwells knight in armor
Whom everyone loves that knows.
He guides the little streamlets
To the furnishing stems and roots
He carries life in his shovel
The man in rubber boots.
De doesn't write great sermons
Nor argue points in court
He doesn't rush to battle
And has no time for sport;
But Just to be to nature
He leaves all other pursuits
And spends his life in the open,
Deep in his rubber boots
EHE river out in the valley
Where man has scarcely trod,
Keep calling, calling for him
To till her virgin sod;
And the song of the river is music
To him as she cries for recruits
So he hurries away to her service
Shod in his rubber boots.
GONE time when quit shouting
Of braves in battle slain,
Of Lusitana victims
And those lost on the Maine;
Perhaps we'll sing some praises
To him who reaped no fruits
But made the waste an Eden
By toling in rubber boots.

AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Guaranteed 1000 lille Service
Absolutely Puncture Proof

Double Service Tires are double the
thickness of the best standard make
tires
This 100 percent greater wearing
surface naturally gives that much
more mileage and service The aver
age of u miles of tough fabric and
one inch surface tread rubber makes
these tires absolutely puDcture proof.
These tires excel all others for use
in the country over rough and rugged
roads as well as on hard pavements.
They are as easy riding and resilient
as any other pneumatic tire-the air
space and pressure being the same
They are the most economical and
'care free' tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire troubles cannot be tolerated.
Many Double Service style tires are
in use in the United States govern
