Reds" and the "Blues" of the Meth
odist Epworth league is at an end.
The conqueoring reds were given an
oyster supper by the defeated blues,
Wednesday night. Both sides work

Two Fine Fellows

Out in the Kimball country are
two fine bachelors, Henry and Simon
Peterson, both being men of fine dis
position and well tested. Any colt of
a fellow can keep bachelors hall for
a while and be sweet about 1t, but
it takes the real fiber to follow it
up successfully for number of years
and keep making money and taking
proper care Of it. The bachelor, who
makes bunch of money and goes
and blows it in, is not standing the
test. Henry and Simon are all right;
they have nice driving team and
could buy an auto If they chose.
Think they receive their mail at
Firth. A thoughtful girl out that
way sent in an effusion in rhyme to
express her high regard for both of
them and to direct attention to them.
1t runs as follows:
Run girls, run, If you want Pet
erSon;
They're the boys that have the
nun;
They are men you'll never dun;
They often work from sun to sun,
Forgetting all about the fun,
And now | guess my story's DONE"
Poem ON the Doctor
But maybe you want a professional
man. We don't want to choke you
with farmers, nor do we want to
leave out the town boys. There is
DR.. Mackey, young, handsome and
gallant. He has told several girls
this winter that they have a good set
of teeth and so they have, but that
is not equal to a proposal of marri-
age, and besides, it's leap year. The
doctor has been out to good many
social stunts this winter and some
body tells good one on him in very
poor rhyme. 1t runs thusly:
HE fiicked flick from his dead
cigar
And crossed his legs and spat;
1T takes level head he said,
To know where one is at
He scratched his head and filled his
pipe
And then he lit match;
1T takes lot of grit he said,
To be Blackfoot batch.'"
A Sedate Fellow

(Too late for last week.
The parents and teachers meeting
of last Friday was very interesting,
but was the poorest attended of all
the meetings thus far. The high
school chorus, under the direction
of Mr.. Lewis, was an agreeable sur
prise. The pupils showed careful
training and the music was we'll rend-
cred and thoroly enjoyed. Theron
Carruth, Darwin Simmons, Carl Bee

as negroes and sang several southern

a special teacher.
Party in Honor of Missionary
About 25O people enjoyed most
successful social given by the First
Ward folks, Tuesday night, in honor
of M. P. Ipson, who Just returned
from a 15 months mission. The
children's chorus rendered several
pleasing numbers. Also there were

The M. l. A. Sewing club of the
Second Ward held very interesting
meeting at the home of Mrs. l.. R.

ThOresons Entertain
Mr.. and Mrs. Thoresen entertained
at 500 in a most charming manner,
Monday evening. The house was very
festive and attractive in its appear
ance. st. Patrick's day ideas being
carried out in the decorations. At
the parties heretofore the guests
played cards with vim, were very
conservative bidders and tended
to business, but at this party
the games were won and the pro-
gressions were made by those who
had the lowest score. This caused
much merriment and was declared
as being very fine idea. Delicious
refreshments were served. Those |
present were Mr.. and Mrs. DeHart, |
Mr.. and Mrs. Varley, Mr.. and Mrs

promising he is hustlin'', so that
makes a continuous performance.
He lives at Groveland, Is a good
dancer, has been away to school, Is
fluent talker and feels his oats,
but who doesn't! He is not very
good cook, but he is looking for one

Beyond Considerable
Out on the Groseclose farm beyond
the big fill, beyond the pebble fiat,
beyond Moreland, beyond where the
calf got choked on the turnip, beyond
the packing house and the river
bridge, where loves stand at mid
F. night waiting for the bridge to be
taken away, is Earl Ferrell, right
good boy and good worker. He is
"a years old, likes his eggs over
and gets his mail on R. F. Do num-
Der four, from Blackfoot.
Can Bake Cakes
Just. betwixt and between the
river and the lava beds, between
Moreland and Groveland, between
the two canals, between two notions
and inclining to the one with GIRL,
is Charlie Stanger, gentle, thoughtful
good to his mother and an expert
at making and baking slap-jacks.
Now girls, if you want cakes for
breakfast and want them brought
to you on platter and served with
maple syrup, talk to Charlie about 1t.
A Farmer-Stoclman
You can always tell a bachelor,
but you can't tell him much. There's
Farley Williams, of the firm of Will
Jams Brothers, who live on the old
Hobbs place, west of Groyeland. Par
ley is fine fellow and a good busi-
ness man. He has the stock and tne
farm and the girl who gets Farley
i cts a prize.
A Girls Comment
In answer to the Desert corre-
spondent in regard to "the man with
cold feet you recommended him as
a good catch for girl, but fear
his family may have to subsist on
spuds and salt with carrot now and
then, for fellow who Is so economi-
cal that he won't buy enough cover
to keep his bed warm on cold night
doesn't need the sympathy, much less
the care, of any intelligent young
lady.
(What If he was too poor to buy
another blanket and had his clothes
all spread on the bed? Editor.)
A Musician
There are a number of bachelors
that are being overlooked. Among
that number we find Manuel Burk-
man, who can make music on almost
any kind of an instrument. His
favorites are piano and guitar, and
he is royal good fellow, has no
bad habits and can milk the cows,
cook a meal and put it on the table
In an appetizing form. He is not
afraid of work Of any kind and is
no society dude, but is worthy Of
any good girls respect and admira-
lion. He lives west of Firth with
his parents and is the second son
Of the family. He is awfully nice to
his mother and sister, which is
good sign he will make an affable
companion. When he is around
this fall the ladies should
.ry their best to win him as they

Bridge Party at Early's
Entire satisfaction and extreme
pleasure was manifested by the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Farley, Tuesday evening. when they

ess and host, cards were enjoyed un-
til IL o'clock, when Mrs. Aldrich and
Mr.. MacCosham were awarded the
favors. The men who did not play
cards adjourned to the den for a
social time among themselves. Elab-
crate refreshments were served after
which the guests were treated to a
musical feast, participated in by Mr..
Robbins, with violin solos; Mrs.
Reece and Mrs. Dustin in vocal solos
and last but not least, all heard Mrs.
Albert Early sing several solos,
which were indeed genius within
themselves, the brightness of which
was made more brilliant by the beau
tiful voice of the soloist. Mrs. EARLY
has a rare voice; it shows great tai
ent and training, she having been
q pupil of the celebrated Professor
Boyh of Paris, France. Mrs. Bro
kaw, in her most proficient manner,
accompanied the several singers, and
for the solos of Mrs. Early was as
sisted by Mr.. Robbins with the violin.
It was treat long to be remembered
by those present.

DAIRY BULLS VALUE
SHOWN BY OFFSPRING
Farmers Are Advised Not to Sell
Sire Until His Daughters
Have Been Tested.

G. G. Hayden Of the Ohio experiment
station is authority for a statement
that the dairy bull may be worth more
than $1,000 in one year to dairy herd.
He shows that in the station herd one
bull produced daughters averaging 1853
pounds more butterfat than their dams.
If ten daughters produced milk for six
years, the total production of this sire
would be worth $2,75O more than that
of bull that produced no increase,
If butterfat is worth 80 cents pound.
Since the value Of the bull can be
determined only by the milk and but
ter yields of his daughters, farmers
are advised not to sell the dairy sire
until his daughters have been tested.
Buyers should not discriminate against
an old bull If he has some high pro-
ducing daughters, for his value cannot
be determined until he is at least four
years old.

results are secured with a mixture Of
one or more grasses and at least one
variety Of clover. Sweet clover alone
is used to some extent on a number of
projects, but no information has been
secured which appears to warrant any
general recommendation of this crop
in preference to mixed grasses for ir-
rigated pastures. Some cases Of
sweet-clover bloat have been reported,
and 1t has not been possible to secure
any reliable data showing that sweet
clover has n high carrying capacity
The use Of alfalfa as a pasture crop
for cattle or sheep cannot be recon-
mended for the northern projects, be-
cause alfalfa SO frequently causes loss
from bloat. On one of the projects,
% per cent Of the cattle lost during
the year 1915 are known to have died
from alfalfa bloat. Losses sustained
by farmers and In the experiments Of
the office Of western irrigation agricul-
ture of the bureau Of plant industry
indicate that 1t Is not safe to use even
small quantity of alfalfa seed In
pasture mixture. From the informa-
ton at present available there seems
to be no doubt that it is advisable to
confine the selection of pasture crops
to the grasses and clovers.
"There is little uniformity at present
as to the kinds Of grasses and clovers
used. Some pastures contain only a
single grass and no clover, while 9TH
ers have as many as seven or eight
grasses and two or three clovers. The
use Of single grass or several grasses
without clover Is considered inadvis-
able, largely because Of low carrying
capacity. The use Of several grasses
which have different habits of growth
and different temperature requirements
assures more nearly continuous growth
throughout the season. For exam
pie, some grasses will grow better dur
ing cool weather or In times of water
shortage than other grasses which, on
the other hand, may make rapid
growth when the temperature is high
or when water is abundant.
1.-THE two clovers most commonly
used with the grasses are white and al.
sike, sometimes one and sometimes
both being used. Difficulty occasion.
ally results from clover bloat where
the clover has been seeded too heavily
or where the conditions are especially
favorable to its growth, as they are or
some of the projects. Where the pas
ture crops include several grasses and
where not to exceed two pounds per
acre Of either clover seed is used, the
danger of blOat is not likely to be Sc
rious. In the selection of corps fol
irrigated pastures, provision should al
ways be made for variety and high
carrying capacity and this necessl
tates the use Of at least one clover
and preferably more than one grass.
The bulletin then devotes several
pages to pasture mixtures for various
soils, method Of seeding, irrigation
and management.
