claimed by affidavit. The assessor is
required to furnish the blank fol
making the affidavit upon request
To facilitate matters such a blank
affidavit is printed on the face of the
Taxpayers Statement, so that the
affidavit can be made at the same
time the statement is furnished to
the assessor.
If the affidavit is not made by the
fourth Monday in June, the commits
sioners have no power to allow the
exemption. On that date the board
of equalization sits and makes up the
values upon which the several levies
will be made. To allow exemptions
claimed after that date would neces-
sarily disturb the various appropria-
tions, because it would reduce the
amount of revenue required to be
raised. 1t is, therefore, to the best
interests of those who are entitled to
the exemptions to comply with the
law as to the manner of claiming
them.

Miracles in Wheat

Seven year ago a Russian farmer
invented method of increasing the
yield of wheat in so startling a fash
ion that, when an article on the sub
ject appeared in an English paper,
people simply laughed and said it was
a fairy tale. This Russian claimed
that it was possible to get 70 pounds
weight of grain from one seed, and to
make an acre carry As tons. This
does sound like a miracle, but here is
the method, and if any farmer has
the patience to try it he will most
certainly be surprised at the result.
Each grain is planted separately in
hole about fifteen inches deep, and
three and half feed in width. Feet,
remember, not inches. AS soon as the
grain sprouts the little blade is COW
cred with a thin layer of earth about
an inch and half in depth. The re-
suit is that you get three stalks in
stead of one. At the end of three
weeks the hoe comes into use again,

HE SAVED THE CHICKENS
Idaho Man Has Thrilling Experience
With a Bobcat.

Oran Johnson, who lives on home
stead claim II miles west of Idaho
Falls, had an experience with cat
the other night that is not quite to
his liking. Johnson has some chick
ems on his bachelor ranch that he is
proud of, and which contribute to the
good things of life. AS a change
from salt pork and canned goods,
fresh eggs are appreciated; so, when
he heard his prize hens sending out
wailing signals of distress the other
night, he did not stop to dress, though
the thermometer was lowering around
25 below zero, but rushed to the as
sistance of his pets.
Opening his hen house door and
seeing pair of eyes cleaning in the
dark, he seized what he thought was
cat. 1t was cat all right, but not
the type, breed or temperament that
ne thought it was. Instead of being
a nice, even tempered, house raised
variety it proved to be of the "bobcat'
species.
johnson seized the varmint by the
hind legs and gave it jerk out from
behind the boards where it was hiding,
and when he discovered his mistake
attempted to let go. The cat by this
time had become warmed up by the
excitement and got its claws, both
front and rear, tangled in Johnson's
outing flannel nightshirt and proceed
ed to do business. There was no use
to call for help, for Johnson's nearest
neighbor is two miles away, and she is
lady and could do little for him un-
der the circumstances; so he and the
cat had it out alone.
The fight was not by rounds, nor
were any particular rules observed. 1t
was case of the survival of the fit
test, and Johnson thinks the cat was

TO INSTRUCT WOOL GROWERS

Government Sends Out Demonstra.
ton Car for Educational Purposes
A wool demonstration car, under
the charge of specialists of the United
States department of agriculture and
the agricultural colleges of the states
concerned is now touring Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming and Utah to show
growers that in the end better wool
means more money. The car left
Livingston, Mont, on January 10 and
les expected to continue its travels I'M
til we'll into the spring.
In addition to samples of thesyari-
Gus grades of wool, six head of live
sheep are being carried in the car in
order to show the various grades as
they appear on the sheep; for the pri-
mary purpose of the tour is to dispel
the common idea that wool is wool
and that care in the selection of the
breed and in the handling and grad
ing of the clip are unnecessary and
Improbable details. Today, it is said,
many American growers do not re-
alize that the market value of fleece
is determined by its clean or secured
NOT its gross-weight and by the
character of the fiber. Many are quite
unable to estimate with accuracy the
percentage of shrinkage in their
fleeces and do not understand the
bearing on their own profits of the
prices for various grades of wool
quoted on the large markets.
