AGAIN 1T is
POLITICS

Politics has been injected into the
regiment of the Idaho State militia
by the action of Governor Alexander
in appointing one of his political pets
P. H. Crow, to the position of lieu
tenant colonel of the regiment over
the heads OF the three majors, all of
whom rank him as officers of the regt
ment, and all of whom have served
with the militia long enough to gain
the experience which better quail
flies them to fill the higher position
than the pet" of the governor could
ever hope to do.
The Capital News, in its issue of
July 5, contains a two column edi-
torial of the usual scurrilous nature
Of that sheet, bitterly arraignng the
three majors of the regiment because
they brought an action in the SUI
preme Court to stop the governor
from naming his pet" to the sec
second ranking position of the reei-
ment, but it seems to entirely over
look the fact that it was the governor
himself who started the use Of politi- |
cal game.
Men and officers Of a military or
ganization are entitled to promotion
according to rank and seniority, if |
they have qualified themselves to
fill the higher positions, and any at
tempt to deviate from that rule sole
ly for the purpose of advancing some
friendly individual should be prompt
ly frOwned down by the people. There
is too much at stake to permit of
petty pickering with these positions,
and while it is unfortunate that Off
GERS were forced to go into court to
get what they are justly entitled to,
We feel that the people will readily
see the justice Of their position in
the matter, and also we feel that the
people will not be slow inpacing the
blame where it belongs-at the door
of Governor Alexander, who, in the
first instance, tried to make use of
his political position to make a soft
berth for one of his political friends

LONG A PLAGUE TO YOUTH
schooIboys Of Many Centuries Ago
Had to Wrestle with Problems
Of Arithmetic.
Hyers.'

The modern schoolboy may find
comfort in the fact that for $500 years
schoolboys have been worried by just
such desperate problems in arithmetic
as annoy him most.
Among the archaeological discoveries
In Egypt is "A papyrus roll. in excellent
condition, dating from period about
1900 B. G. This roll, which has long
heading beginning Directions how to
attain the knowledge of all dark
things" proves beyond a doubt that
the Egyptian OF that time had thor
ough knowledge OF the elements OF
arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means OF addi-
tion and multiplication. Subtraction and
division were not known in their pres
ent form but correct results we're OBJ
tanned. nevertheless.
Equations are also found In the
papyrus. Here Is one which brings the
Egyptian schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures OF barley are to be di.
vided among ten persons In such mat
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-elghth OF a measure less
than the one before him. Another ex-
ample given Is: There are seven men.
each one has seven cats. each cat has
eaten seven mice. each mouse has
eaten seven grains of barley. Each
grain of barley would have yielded
seven measures of barley. How much
barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains calcuia-
tions of area. the calculation Of the
area of a circle. attempts at squaring
the circle. and finally calculation OF
the cubic measurements of pyramids.

artificial bottom heat while cold

supplied in number Of ways but the

for heating.
The common type OF hotbed frame
is made feet wide, ~ feet long with
~ and 6-inch sides respectively. The
depth of the frame varies according
to the plants to be grown. Two by
3-inch cross bars are placed at inter
vals to support sash and give the
frame frmness. II frames are to be
used each year. II is advisable to make
them Of good Pinch material with
bolted parts so they can be readily
taken apart and stored until needed

The winter is the most critical pc.
rlod In the care of breeding animals
and many farmers would find larger
and more certain profits from their
farm stock II they would give more
time and study TO the winter care and
feeding OF their breeding animals.
All kinds of breeding stock require
good shelter-that is, dry. clean.
comfortable and so constructed that
there will always be an abundance of
pure air without exposing the ami.
mails to cold drafts.
Brood sows and breeding ewes re.
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best II separated In lunches so as to
prevent crowding and fighting at the
troughs and feed racks. Pregnant
animals should not be kept with other
animals where they will be compelled
TO fight their own way for a place to
eat and drink. as they are more sub
iect TO injury, and violent exercise Is
quite apt to cause serious trouble.
Exercise is an important essential
in the winter management OF all kinds
of breeding animaIa and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and In as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make prac.
tice of feeding their brood sows quite
distance from their sleeping quar-
ters in order to induce them &c exer-
else freely, and | have found this an
excellent plan. for many sows become
sluggish during pregnancy and will
not exercise unless compelled to.
Exercise Is not very beneficial to
the muscular and maternal develop.
ment OF breeding sows. but 1t pre-
vents constipation which Is one OF
the most serious problems we have to
contend with II our sows are In good
flesh condition.
Breeding bulls. boars. rams and
stations should have plenty OF fresh
air. light and exercise during the win.
ter Our animals cannot develop good
one. muscle. constitution. etc, II they
are compelled to spend the winter In
the dark. filthy, poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to exer
else during the favorable weather
The grain ration OF breeding AMI
mails had best be made up largely
OF homegrown grain foods such al
corn, oats. barley and peas, supple
mented by such purchased feeds a.

MANAGEMENT OF THE BREEDING ANIMALS
Pigs strong strongly

wheat bran. middlings and linseed oil
meal.
Glover and alfalfa and mixed hay
cut early and cured properly are the
best kind of roughage for breeding
animals of all kinds during the win
ter. We must not forget the brood
sows when feeding clover and alfalfa
hay. as these folders will afford bulk.
which is 30 essential In maintaining
them In healthy. vigorous, flesh
forming condition. The mechanical
condition OF these feeds may be
greatly improved by running through
a cutting box and steaming and mix
ing with wheat bran, middlings md
other mill feeds before Il Is fed to the
brood sows.
All breeding animals should have
an abundance of succulent foods dur
vided by laying in supply OF corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows, roots. vegetables and waste
fruits are the best form of succulence
and II will pay every farmer to raise
cror of roots to feed his breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writer's advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage, but | am
not In favor OF this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ensilage to hogs.
All changes should be gradual and
the condition OF the animals should
be carefully noted while the changes
are being made, 50 that the animals
digestive system will not be deranged
before we can correct the ration.

Seeds ma. be sown directly In the

beginners are apt to start their
