LETTER FROM B. F, STEELE

Hog fattening time is here.
1t is my purpose to write on this
subject at this time, as | can
consider it of vital Importance
on the different methods practis-
ed in fattening pork.
In the early days it was most
common to let the swine run on
the range and get what they
could find, which was very
cheap way. If the mast was
short they were then put in close
pens and fed from two to four
weeks, according as their corn
was plentiful or short; shelter
was not once thought of. But
in these latter days we must use
more improved methods, learn to
raise pork and cheaper feed than
corn. 1t can and us being done.
Corn, fed alone, is a very eX-
pensive feed. The estimate is
10 pounds of live weight to every
one bushel of corn. Other feed
can be produced much cheaper
and more plentiful than corn.
In in this South land. | shall not
undertake to give a complete
list of feeds, except some of the
leading one and those which are
coming into common use.
A bermuda pasture is indis-
pensable with plenty of good
! water with a patch of fall-sown
oats and rye to Craze on. EseX
rye and sorghum planted at
different times, then peas and
peanuts, velvet and soy beans,
and finish with corn fed in the
pasture.
If you put your hogs into a
close pen and feed corn alone,
you increase the cost two fold.
These things have been tried out
by our experiment stations over
and again until it is no longer a
debatable question. So | in
sist that every reader of this
article feed a whole ration of
mixed feed. Corn has an analy-
sis showing so per cent feed
alue-fed alone, gives II per
cent only-mixed, gives 20 per
cent and over.
B. F. Steele.
P. S. Peanuts have been
grown on poor soil where corn
will hardly produce a nubin and
yield from 80 to 40 bushels of
nuts per acre and the porker can
gather for himself.
Then the velvet bean grows
luXuriantly on most any old hill
side. An abundant crop makes
your swine look at it while grow
ing, and one bushel is sufficient
to plant 10 acres. They simply
occupy the ground where plant

In speaking of the 242, 600
bales of cotton shipped 20 Ger
many last season, it would have
been more accurate if we had
said that only this quantity went
direct to Germany. OF course
we realize that much more was
shipped to Germany from neu-
trail ports, and it is this re.ship-
ping las well as direct ship

GEORGE BOSTON RELEASED
ON MOTION OF ATTORNEY
There Will be no Prosecution of AL
legged Check Artist.

On motion of County Attorney
Grifiths, George Boston was released
from custody Wednesday afternoon
Boston was accused of passing a
worthless check for $4,000 at the Kahn
clothing store. He was arrested at
Vale two weeks ago and brought to
Caldwell.
The cashier OF the bank of Jordan
Valley refused to come here to test
fly against Boston. This at once
crippled the prosecution. The story
told by the defendant convinced the
authorities that it would be impos-
sible to convict on intent to defraud.
Boston stated that he deposited 500
in the Jordan Valley bank. Soon
thereafter he wrote check for the
full amount but the cashier refused to
cash it on the ground that he was too
intoxicated. A second attempt TO
cash the check met the same response,
though it seems he had this time turn
ed the check over 20 another party
Boston says that few days after he
left there the banker did cas- h the
check, which he had supposed was
turned down for good, He then wrote
the check in Caldwell on the suppose
ton that his 800 still reposed in thG
bank. 1t is said he promises to make
good the $40 to Mr.. Kahn.

MAY ASK FOR CREATION OF
RANGE RESERVE IN OWYHEE
Committee Optimistic Over Outlook
for Range for Cattle.

A meeting of the Boise Water
Users association was held in this
city Tuesday. At this meeting the
committee, consisting of Messrs. D,
R. Hubbard, Sam Hunt and / w,
Brandt, made a report on their pro-
gress in securing free range for the
stock of the farmers on the project
The committee feels optimistic. Two
propositions are under consideration.
One is to have portion of the Boise
forest reserve set aside as range for
Boise Valley stock The second is
to have Congress set aside a tract Of
land in Owyhee county as a forest
reserve with the understanding that it
IS to be used as grazing land for the
farmers on this government project.
The committee appointed month
ago, composed of d. R. Hubbard, Sam
Hunt and ]. w. Brandt, president of
the association, turned in a decidedly
optimistic report on the proposal for
securing range for project settlers.
Practically a week was spent by the
committeeman in investigating condi-
tons in Owyhee county. Not only did
they travel over the county in their
Investigations, but they consulted the
assessors records as we'll, in arriving
at the number of animals now being
run on range in the county. According
to their Investigations, hardly 10 per
cent of the number of animals it is
possible to Craze on the townships
visited are now browsing there. Their
| investigation covered 40 townships
This immense tract will furnish graz
ing for fifty to sixty thousand head
| of cattle and horses, reported the
committee, and there are at present
hardly six thousand head in the en-
tire district.
Contrary to the expectation of many
settlers, the report showed that the
cattlemen of the section investigated
would heartily cooperate with the
project officers in any practica
method of setting aside the territory
for grange purposes. Ex-senator Dow
Dunning was present at the meeting
and forcibly treasured the directors
on this point. He declared that the
ranchmen themselves had once OIL
this end. The only opposition to b.
expected, it was pointed out. woulC
come from the sheepmen of the sec
ton. A majority of these are claimed
to be residents of Oregon and aliens
The committee made no dehnit,
recommendation as to the manner o
creating suitable range Its repor
was unanimously adopted, and it i
supposed to be continued for furthe
investigation and agitation of tn
matter.
A committee was named to assis
the organization at Boise which i

IRELAND ENDORSES GEM
STATE FAIR FAIR OF BOISE
(special TO Caldwell Tribunel


Boise, Sept l5.-Secretary o. P.
Henderson, of the Gem State Fair is
in receipt of letter from H. A. Ire
land, Federal expert of the Boise
Payette project, commencing him for
his efforts for a clean fair at Boise.
Expert Ireland's letter is written from
Caldwell, his headquarters, and will
be read with interest, as follows:
Caldwell, Ida, Sept. 9, 1915.
Mr.. O. P. Henderson,.
Boise, Idaho.
Replying to your letter of August
rs, which deserved a more prompt re-
ply, let me say first, that | most
heartily endorse the idea of the Gem
State Fair, as set forth in your let
ter. have long been out of sympathy
with numerous features of our fairs
as they have been run and have
strongly favored just such an institu-
ton as you propose to make of the
Gem State Fair.
Fairs A Real Value.
There is no question in my mind as
to real value of a fair which is primar-
ily educational, while | believe that
some of our fairs, and certain features
of most of them, up to the present
time, have been rather harmful than
| beneficial in their effect and influence
however, | can readily understand
what you mean when you say you
ARE up against a hard proposition tC
build a good, clean State Fair" aloas
educational lines | often wonder
whether we should try to make thu
change abruptly or gradually work to
ward the educational fair, and can
decide the question, even to my owl
satisfaction.
I believe the primary object of al
institution such as either a state or
county fair, should be to work towar,
the solution of economic problems
and since only by making our fair
educational can we expect them to &C
complish this object. The advantage
OF an educational fair, agricultural O
others, are obvious. AS | see it, on
chief economic agricultural and live
stock problems are, control and Grad
cation of diseases and pests, stanC
ardization of our products, decrease
cost of production, and the establish
ment, largely through these, of be
ter market conditions. Our fail
, should be, and | am convinced can /
, made, strong factors in the solutio
of these problems,
Very truly yours,

ial. The work was carried on con-
tinuously with the exception of about
forty days in January and February
1915, when the work was suspended
because of deep frosts and about 10
days in September, 1914, when one
machine was delayed because of
burned motor. The work as orig
inally planned was completed in June
1915, at a total expenditure including
cost of all equipment of $225,0 900, or
$685. 900 below the estimated cost.
The work accomplished to June,
1915, consists of 50.4 miles of open
drains with an Approximate average
cut Of 81 feet; and base width of
from to II feet and side slopes of

structures. The total yardage eX-
cavated by the two machines is /,
I755, 238 yards neat measurement. Prob
ably 20 per cent of the material would
class as hardpan and a total of 10000
pounds of dynamite was used in blast
ing. All the material was saturated
and often the surface was very soft
and miry making it necessary to use
timber materials under he excava-
tors.
A supplementary contract has been
voted and executed by the district and
the Secretary of the Interior providing
for the expenditure of this $l25,O0C

contract.
