Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after long lapse of

TEACHING THE CANNING ART

The United States department. Of ag-
riculture has just appointed the first
woman who has ever served in that
department. She is Miss Helen Nor
ris Of Brockton, Mass. Her duty is to
teach the government method Of can
ming fruits and vegetables in a scien-
tific manner. She will expound the
principle that every family should plan
for winter use three cans day, one
of green and one Of starchy vegetables,
and one of fruit. A 12-year-old girl
can do the work.
This seems to be one of the most
practical of modern ways to reduce
the cost Of loving. The big expense of
the modern table is principally in the
advance in price of meat, milk, butter
and eggs. These are the great staples
of diet, but substitutes can be more
largely used. The householder buys a
much heavier meat bill than he would
If attractive fruit and vegetables were
always available. With cheap, nutri-
tiOus and toothsome canned foods. a
great deal less costly meat will be
used. Most people will be just as well
off There is no better appetizer than
good fruit.

CATTLE VI. SHEEP MEN,

Transcript on appeal was filed with
the supreme court Friday in a case,
the outcome Of which will have an
important bearing on the status of both
the cattle and sheep industries in
Idaho. 1t is entitled the state against
Secundinto Amaechevviaria.
The purpose of the action is to
test the validity of a statute which has
been on the books of Idaho since terri
torial days. That statute provides that
sheep shall not be grazed on lands pre-
viously or usually occupied by cattle,
without the permission of those who
control the range in question.
Find Old Statute.
For years the law has been dead
letter. Since the advent of the dry
farmer in Idaho the available range
has shrunk until sheepmen and cat
tlegrowers have fought each other for
possession of the right to grazing lands.
Recently the cattlemen of the state
discovered on the statute books the old
territorial law giving them priority of
right on the range. The text of the
law is such that, if it is valid, no sheep.
men can Craze his stock on range form
ery or usually used for the pasturage Of
cattle
| The case against Omaechevviaria
was brought to test the law He is a
sheepman Of Owyhee county. George
Swisher swore to the complaint, charg-
ing him with running his band of sheep
on range formerly occupied by cattle.
Loses in Lower Courts.
| In the probate court Omaechevvia-
ria waived trial by jury. Probate
Judge Leonard found him guilty and
fined him $3.50 and costs. He appealed.
| In the district court Judge Davis and
a jury found him guilty and seconded
the action of the probate court in i'm
posing the $3.50 fine. The case was
then appealed to the supreme court.
| fStacl-men of the state are of the
opinion that, should Omaechevviaria
lose the case in the supreme court it
will mean that almost all of the open
range in Idaho will be placed under the
control of the cattlemen since the eat
tie industry was flourishing before the
sheep We're introduced in Idaho and
nearly all of the range has at some time
been occupied by cattle.

ATTORNEY HLLaAP DEAD

J. d. Millsap, of st. Anthony, a
prominent citizen and attorney Of that
place, and well known all over the
state, having been prominent in poll
tics, was found dead in his office
last Thursday by his partner, G. R.
Moon, who returned to the office after
a few minutes absence. When he left
the office Mr.. Millsaps was at his desk
and apparently well. The body was
found streached on the floor near the
desk, the pipe he had been smoking
by his side. Apoplexy is given as the
cause. The funeral service will be held
tomorrow.
Deceased was Jim Stevens latest
Democratic opponent for judge of this
district, and made very creditable
contest. He was an excessive pipe
smoker, which excess no doubt affected
his heart and caused his sudden demise
which is regretted by large circle of
acquaintances. He leaves wife and
family.
Word comes today of the sudden
death of Judge J. D. Millsaps of St.
Anthony. Death occurred Thursday af-
ternoon while he was at his office, and
heart failure being the probable cause.
Dixie Millsaps was one Of the best
known characters in this part of the
country. A prominent attorney and a
big hearted public spirited citizen, he
will be generally missed by a large
number of friends throughout the state.
While still in the prime of his active
| life, it seems that he has been failing
in health for some time, only his most
intimate friends having known of this
serious condition of his health-Free-

products. But he ignores the fact that
a dollar saved in his living producing
the equivalent Of the same on his farm,
is equivalent to a dollar that comes
from the sale of grain.
Is it not true that the homesteader
especially the homesteader with his
family, should make it first cOnsid-
GRAFTON to grow the food for his fam
lily as soon as this may be possible.
Now what is to hinder him from doing
this the very first seasonf
Suppose he buys his eggs. Will he
not have to pay for them 30 to so
cents to dozens Suppose he grows them
on his own ranch after his first crop
has been reaped, will he not produce
them at a cost not exceeding 10 cents
dozene Suppose he buys his ham and
bacon. Will he not have to pay 25 to
so cents pound for thems If, instead,
after his first crop, will he not grow
ham and bacon at cost not exceeding
10 cents pounds This would seem to
be reasonable when it is called to mind
that the whole carcass can be grown
lat cost not exceeding 3 cents per
pound
In all new countries in which farm
ing is reasonably successful, the farm
err may grow his own garden products,
if he will. The soil is new, and under
| such conditions the garden crop is an
assured success if properly cared for.
If the homesteader brings but one cow,
she will supply his family with milk
from the outset. If she produces a
heifer calf, the homesteader will soon
have two cows. If she produces a male,
at the end of one or two years the
homesteader has a beef that will sup
ply his family with meat through the
winter. In this way the homesteader
is assured of living, even though the
crops should fail. Why should he not
In every case reach out to secure this
living! A dollar saved is certainly
dollar gained; and usually the most GER
tain way in which the dollar may be OBJ
tanned is through the saving that re.
suits from economical methods
Now the homesteader may grow these
roduets if he will. He may grow them
all He may not do so the first year
that he locates on his ranch but he may
do so the second. In this way he NAV
save what would otherwise be great
outlay. And yet the strange thing is
that the homesteader will not do this.
He is oblivious of the fact that dol
lar saved is dollar earned In the
Dakotas many of the farmers have con-
tinued thus to buy the products that
they consume when they might have
grown them on their farm. In q good
year this may not matter much. In
bad year it is simply in sense calami-

The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-06-10
MISTAKE OF HOMESTEADERS

The homesteader usually has hard
battle to fight. He has difficulties to
encounter, some of which call for ev-
EN- more courage to meet than is
called for in the soldier who goes in
to the battle field. The latter has
the stimulus of comradeship. He
knows that he is not fighting alone.
The homesteader must usually carry on
his contest with the adverse conditions
that are always present in new coun-
try almost single handed and alone.
The soldier goes into the thickets of
the fight under the stimulus of an ex-
citement that of necessity is brief. The
homesteader must attack the problems
that confront him leisurely and with a
persistent patience, for they are prob
lens that remain. They do not vanish
in day. His problems cover months
and years and because of this a courage
is called for to face them, that is of
the most patient and enduring kind. 1t
rs true, therefore, that the man who
goes out into the front and attacks the
problems of the wilderness is more of
hero than the man who in the presence
of & thousand comrades is called upon
to go into battle, which in most in
stances will last for but day. The
men therefore who gobut into the wild
erness and who know at the same time
that they must fight battle that will
cover years, are heroes of the highest
type. When medals are distributed for
deeds OF daring and privation, the dar-
ing and courageous homesteader is en-
titled to a share in these. The home
steader on the frontier who has fought
his battle successfully is worthy of
double honor, and when medals are
being distributed for heroic deeds, this
man should not be forgotten.
But all this does not imply that the
homesteader does not make mistakes.
Oftentimes he does. And the fairmind-
ed homesteader will be the first to ac-
knowledge the validity of those mis-
takes. Among these it is probably
true that the greatest mistake made by
the homesteader is that of inattention
to making provision for his own liveli-
hood and that of his family. He is
ambitious to get large acreage pre-
pared that will produce a money crop,
