COTTAGE HOTEL
TO ENLARGE

Since M. Haynes took hold of the
Cottage hotel it's business has steadily
increased until it has become inadequate
to accommodate its guests many of whom
until recently were satisfied with the
hotel accommodations of Pocatello, but
who now, according to the Gate City
papers, prefer the Cottage hotel at
Blackfoot. Owing to this increase of
business which Messrs. C. G. Haynes
and John Melville, the lessees have ev.
cry reason to believe will be permanent,
they have concluded to enlarge their
popular hostelry by brick annex of
twenty-one rooms. These new rooms
will be light and airy and supplied
with shower bath and a telephone in
each room, which will be fitted up with
the best Of furniture. 1t is also their
intention to remodel the dining room
and enlarge the lobby and make such
other improvements that will insure
them first-class hotel that will be a
credit to Blackfoot and its managers.
Mr.. Haynes informs US that the work Of
the new annex will begin at once and
rushed to completion, as the hotel in its
present condition is turning away trade
every day, at great loss to himself
as well as this city, as these guests arc
all good spenders while here.

Cannot Locate Christian
1t was known on excellent authority
that a quiet search has been made for
Mr.. Christian in order to establish for
certainty the report that he had been
joined with former employe at the
children 8 home. In this connection it
is said that a movement has been un-
der way to bar him from the ministry.
When he left Boise Mrs. Christian did
not accompany him. She is at present
resident in Boise, held in the highest
regard by those who know her. Mrs.
Christian has had several consultations
with Governor Alexander in the hope
of having an equity she has in property
here placed in her hands. This equity
is said to have been tied up by the
former superintendent. of the home be-
fore his sudden departure for parts
unknown.
According to other sources the in
formation was secured that at the time

largely the threat of making public the
entire episode that resulted in the
quick action Of the board in virtually
removing Christian. = Boise Capital

The many people of Blackfoot who
met the Rev. Christian here during his
official connection with the Trego case
will be surprised to hear of his alleged
elopenent with the matron of the home
and the desertion of his faithful wife

Another Good Man
Meets His Eve

! Byrd Trego, the well known newspa-
per man of Blackfoot, who has been
prominent in the public limelight as the
result of a statutory charge placed
against him, will not have to stand trial
either on that charge or the charge Of
criminal libel, for the district judge
for Twin Falls county, to which he
secured change Of venue, dismissed
both complaints against him last week.
He was tried on the former charge in
the district court for Bingham county,
found guilty and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. From the Judgment Of convic-
tion he took an appeal to the Supreme
court and that tribunal reversed the
lower court. 1t was then that Trego
secured change of venue.
Complaining Witness State Ward
It its opinion the Supreme court of
this state severely criticized the con
duet Of Rev. 0. P. Christian, former
superintendent Of the children s home
in this city, and the testimony that he
gave during the Trcgo trial. Later
Christian left this State, discontinuing
his connections with the home follow
ing a heated session of the board of
trustees, members of which censured his
conduct at the home. His whereabouts
is unknown at the present time.
The Trego case came into prominence
back in May, 1913, when the Blackfoot
editor was arrested charged with a
statutory crime. His victim was said
to be state ward-a girl taken from
the children's home in this city and
placed in the Trego home with the idea
of adoption by Mr.. and Mrs. Trego. The
arrest Of Trego created a sensation. He
denied the charges against him. At the
trial the girl testified against him. It
was largely on the girls evidence that
Trego was convicted and it was largely
on her evidence that the Supreme court
reversed the judgment of conviction and
gave Trego new trial. Because of the
notoriety the case gave him and the
belief that the mind Of the public was
prejudiced against him in the commun-

THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE
MILK HOUSE

During the hot weather it is almost
impossible to care for dairy products
on the farm without suitable milk
house. O. f. Reed, of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural College, offers the followin
Milk must be produced under SAM
tary conditions, ard to do this the
milk house should be either separate
from the dairy barn or arranged i'll
such a way that odors from the barn
do not get to it.
A 10 by l2-foot milk house is good
size for the average farm. 1t should
be built with a cement floor and have
a drain at the center to carry away
the waste. The equipment should con-
sist of a refrigerating tank, 80 by 50
inches, inside meausre. This will &C
commodGte four milk cans. There
should also be a cooler areator wash
and separator.
A windmill on the side nearest the
rcfrigerating tank will pump cold wa
ter from the well into one corner of
the tank. The water circulates around
the cans and flows out at one side
through an overflow pipe. This over
flow pipe leads into watering trough
and the water is used for watering the
stock instead of being wasted.

ARE YOUR cows EFFICIENT?

Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Bah
cock tester is one of the essentials
Of conducting successful dairy
When fee dis high in price farmer
cannot afford to have boarders in his
dairy barn who eat up more in feed
than their milk is worth The Bah
cock test will show these redinqueni
cows in their true light and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing cows will give
some farmers big surprise. Some
time the COW that looks like the poor
cs. creature in the lot is the best
butterfat producer. Cow testing as
sociations among dairymen afford the
most economical use of the Babcock
tester and the scales.

TREES
DURING THE
DORMANT SEASON

If the orchard is infested or likely
to be infested with San Jose scale,
oyster shell, bark louise, apple scab,
woolly aphis, shothole, fungus, peach
leaf curl or brown rot, spraying the
trees during the dormant period will
be effective in preventing trouble.
For San Jose scale, oyster shell,
bark louise, peachleaf curl and woody
aphis, on the upper parts of the trees,
the spraying may be done at any time
during the winter, while an applicat-
ton short time before the buds open
in the spring will aid in controlling
the other diseases mentioned. These
diseases are carried over the white
by small spores and the spray pre-
vents the termination and growth OF
these spores.
The best all-round spray material
for the insects and diseases mentioned
is the lime-sulphur wash, which acts
both as an insectide and fungicide.
Lime-sulphur was is made as fol-
lows:
Stake Is pounds of fresh lime in
five gallons of hot water, using an
iron kettle of twenty to twenty-five
gallons capacity. When shaking is in
full process, gradually sift in Is
pounds of flowers of sulphur, stirring
the mixture vigorously at the same
time. When allthe sulphur has been
put in and thoroughly mixed, add six
or eight more gallons of hot water
and boil about forty-five minutes.
Strain the mixture into the spray bar
rel and add water to make htty gal
Ions of. In making the lime-sphur W
wash it is best to have two kettles,
one for heating the water and one for
boiling the mixture. The mixture
when prepared should be of dark
reddish brown color.
If it is not convenient for one to
make his own spray mixture, there
are the concentrated liquid and pow
der forms which may be procured
from dealers and which require only
the addition of water to be ready Tor
use. These are slightly more expen-
sivc than the homemade and just as
effective.
In connection with winter spraying
any parts of the trees which are badly
infected should be prued out, and all
"mummied" fruits destroyed, as these
form places of refuge for both insects
and fungi-By. R. A. McGinty, Colo

POULTRY FOR MARKET

A prominent New York commission
house says: Don't you know that it
is much harder to get the smaller
shippers to follow instructions as re-
CARDS the packing and dressing than
the large shippers Every receiver
is willing to furnish instructions as
regards killing, dressing, packing and
shipping, but it is hard to get shippers
to follow them 1t would make a con-
siderable difference to many shippers
if they paid more attention to making
their poultry show up an attractive
appearance, as we would get more
money for it if it pleases the eyes of
the buyer more. The larger shippers
seem to follow our instructions more
and reap the benefit, but it is pretty
hard to teach some of the smaller
shippers"
