REST CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Idaho Affords Good Climate For
Treatment of Tuberculosis

A bulletin of the State Board of
Health gives out the following bit Of
advice to consumptives, especially to
those who are prone to go away to
take tie climate cure" 1t says:
Care without climate is far better
cure for tuberculosis than climate
without care and unless one has the
price for both he had better remain
at home and have the best care that
he can afford" The reason for this
advice is found in the now we'll known
fact that consumption can be cured
anywhere "And because this is true"
says the bulletin, ''it is far better
for patient Of moderate means to 1e-
main at home and take treatment at
a nearby sanatorium than it is for him
to seek some advertised climate or
resort without means to secure the
proper care and treatment that his
disease demands and that he might
otherwise have"
REST, complete rest, freedom from
worry or cares, is now considered per
haps the most vital factor in the cure
of tuberculosis, and this the tuber-
cular traveller with moderate means
is not likely to have" "The secret
of the climate curJ after ALL" advises
the bulletin, sis living out in the open
air day and night and this is as prac-
teal in Idaho as in any Of the other
States.
Taking the cure is not much of
a game anyway; if you play to win.
you win; if you are careless and in
different, you are more likely to lose
than to win"

MONEY IN SORTING POTATOES
Consumers, Large and Small, Do Not
Like Mixed Lots-Demand 10 for
Uniform Sized Tubers.

There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes. Consumers, large
and small, do not like mixed lots They
want them uniform in size and quality
Consequently potatoes are usually
sorted before being put on the market
and the price which is paid the potato
grower is the price of sorted potatoes,
less the cost of sorting. Therefore, the
potato grower who ships unsorted po-
tatoes really has to pay the charge of
sorting.
The shipper Of unsorted potatoes,
also, has to pay another charge, and
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken out of his shipment.
The shipper Of unsorted potatoes,
therefore, Is simply wasting money.
1t pays to sort because 1t gives one
the top market prices and because It
saves freight on culls. and. It might
be added, because the Suils could be
kept on the farm and made use Of in
rations for live stock.

SAFETY FIRST WITH BULLS
Dehornlnq Does Not Take All Mean
ness Out of Animal, but It Limits
His Powers of Wickedness.

Take off his horns! That is the first
plank In the safety-frst platform as
applied to bulls. Dehorning does not
take all the meanness out Of one OF
the critters, but 1t certainly limits his
powers of wickedness and his ability
to do great bodily harm to other
cattle or to his owner. With dehorn-
ing as easily done as it is today there
is not shadow Of an excuse fer per-
hitting the bull to go on carrying his
natural weapons of offense and de-
tense.
The second plank In the platform Is
to keep the bull Gagged up where his
powers of mischief making will be dis
tinctly limited. Permitting him to run
in the open pasture is to court trouble
A big percentage of the attacks made
upon human beings by bulls occur out
in the open lot or in big pasture,
where, when the victim is once down,
he has little chance to escape, unless
he is fortunate enough to be In imme-
date reach of help. Leaving an AMI
NAL with such capabilities for trouble
out in the open in this way should
come under the head of criminal care
lessness.

Experiment station Bulletin Service.

Experiment Station Bulletin Service.
1t is doubtful if the publications of
the Agricultural College and Expert
ment Station are as widely circulated
as the agricultural population OF the
state would lead one to believe they
should be. Bulletins are issued at ir-
regular intervals because as rule
they either record the results of ex-
Pronunciation or are popular write
ups of such work. Any resident of
the state who will express desire to
that effect may have his name placed
upon the mailing list and will then
receive the publications as they are
mailed Those who desire it may
also have the annual report of the ex-
pertinent station. Last year four
bulletins were issued: No. 80 Pas
ture on Irrigated Land, No. 81, Soils
of the Cut and Burned Over Areas OF
North Idaho, No. 80 Canning Fruits
and Vegetables on the Farm, and No.
SO Recommended Varieties of Fruits
for Idaho. There was also printed
one circular-The Spray Calendar.
Within the next few weeks other bull
letins will be printed and prepared
for distribution during the early
spring time. They will deal with
such subjects as Hog Feeding, Sheep
Breeding and Feeding, Field Pea
Culture, Summer Pruning of Apple
Trees, Sprays for the Control of APP
pie Scab, Dry Farming, Glover and
Alfalfa Seed Production, and Poison
Gus Range Plants.
Farmers and others interested in
farming operations can avail them
selves of the bulletin service of the
Experiment Station without other
cost than that of a postal card on
which may be written the request.
Address: The Experiment Station,
Moscow, Idaho.

The Great North Side Tract.

Adjoining the Idaho Irrigation
tract on the south is what is known
as the Great Twin Falls North Side
Tract, embracing about 2OO,O
acres which is another important
unit in the great irrigated area of
Southern Idaho This tract was OPP
ened to settlement in the spring OF
1909, and since that time has shown
most wonderful development
While the North Side tract can
boast without fear of contradiction
of being blessed with all the neces-
sary features that are required for
successful and permanent farming
district, so forcibly has it been dem
onstrated that the growing of clover
seed crops is certain and sure that
thousands of acres of land are now
being and will be prepared for spring
seeding. From a district in 1908
that did not produce dollars worth
of revenue from the land to one In
1915 producing over 100000
worth of crops and stock Is what we
are alling your attention to.
Clover Seed Yields.
Up to the present time there has
been no phenomenal seed yields re-
ported, as the present year has been
the first that any attention has been
paid to this branch of farm indus
tries, but the returns as a whole
have been very satisfactory, and those
who have made the experiment this
wear are confident that conditions
are ideal here for seed raising. Red
clover seed has averaged from to
bushels to the acre, while als1ke
has made better average, the yields
varying from 7 to IL bushels pei
acre.
Coupled with seed growing the
dairy interest is becoming one OF
considerable Importance on this tract
Our farmers are now constantly
reaching out for better quality OF
dairy cows and are thus laying the
foundation for better herds, as the
demand for the products of the dairy
COW are becoming more sought for
every day. To meet the requirements
for the marketing of cream at an ad-
vantage to the farmer that he may

Chicago, Dec. 3.-The theory that
cooperative associations cannot be
used for profit making, as exemplified
by the laws Of the various states, is
wrong and should be corrected, said
Myron T. Herrick, former ambassad-
or to France, in an address here to-
day before the Third National Con-
ference on Marketing and Farm Cred
it's. Before making this point Mr.
Herrick reviewed at length the eff
forts to establish agricultural credit
systems and, as in previous address
es by him on this subject, said that
'the movement had taken on such
Socialistic tendencies that it will like
ly be written in history as the farm
ers' state aid craze"
He argued that state aid alone
would not meet the situation in this
country and said that a general sim
plification Of real estate laws, espec-
tally as regards proving of titles and
foreclosure Of mortgages, would be
necessary to put the land credit plan
on firm economic basis He favored
strongly the organization of farmers
for collective purchasing, marketing
and banking.
"The farmers ought to be organic
ed from the plains to the tidewater,"
he said, "but if they should attempt
to do so they would encounter legal
obstacles. since the laws have not
been framed with a view to agricul-
tural organization. He said existing
laws for partnerships and stock cor
porations were inadequate for farm
ers' needs. He declared the Sherman
antitrust law should be amended to
permit combinations for agriculture,
small industries and thel ike.

creamery has just been completed at
Jerome, with a capacity for hand
ling all the cream in this section
for some time to come This new
creamery was opened for business on
the 14th of the present month. 1t has
been organized and Will be operated
upon the cooperative basis, and as
in indication of the interest taken by
the farmers in this enterprise 1t
might be stated that nearly the en-
tire capital stock of $4,000 has been
subscribed by the farmers in the vi
cinity of Jerome.
The settlers on the North Side
tract believe the time has come when
all doubts should be put at rest as
regards the water supply for the
tract A large storage reservoir has
been under construction by the Gov
eminent at Jackson Lake, i'll the
headwaters of the Snake river, which
will furnish water during the dry
gratifying to all to know that this
reservoir will be entirely completed
in the early spring. A report from
the consulting engineer of the pro-
ject dated November LIST of the pres
ent year assures the North Side tract
of over 100000 acre feet of storage
water for the season If 1916. This
is by far the largest amount of stor-
age water ever yet required for the
an uninterrupted delivery of water
in the future.
Nature has favored this tract with
the means of obtaining the best and
purest water that can be found any
where, a fact that has been fully
demonstrated as today there are
over rs wells in the Jerome district
alone all giving an unlimited supply
of pure water.
There is quite a demand for lands
on this tract at the present time and
many new settlers have come on to
the tract this fall. Land can sill be
purchased at a very reasonable fig
ure. and with an abundant water sup
ply assured their success is bound to
follow all who become residents of
the tract.

This is the season of the year when
people are supposed to forget their diff
ferences with their fellows, and unite
in an effort for the common good.
There is every reason why this should
be the best Christmas that the country
has seen in many years. The country
is prosperous and there is plenty for all
the only trouble being distribution.
Helping those who have to little of this
