Nobody loves the sagebrush. yet
somebody is always trying to uplift it.
This is a difficult task since its antece-
dents are so bad. Nevada complained
a long time because she was called the
"Sagebrush state" hunters hated the
plant because Of the bitter flavor II
impaired to the grouse; prospectors.
settlers, stockmen desplsed II because
II encountered the earth, says New
York Sun. 1t was fit only for rattle
snakes to coll In and strike or for coy
otes to blend their tawny skins into
vanishment. Not long ago an Oregon
man cried eureka" He said the sage
brush was the best road building ma
terial in the West. Now Idaho claims
In the despised weed a source of great
wealth and the solution of the problem
OF potash shortage: THE average acre
produces three tons Of sagebrush at d
cost Of S25. The sagebrush burned In
the kiln gives from 25 to 30 per cent
potash. The supply is lnexhaustlble."

TURKEYS AND POULTRY PRO
DUCTS.
Farm Markets Bulletin No. 10

In meeting with the dealers in
poultry products, l find that many
located al Portland, Seattle. and
Spokane. make large purchases Of
turkeys. poultry and eggs in Idaho.
and that prices being paid for Ida
no turkeys are generally much less
than for Washington or Oregon
birds. When | asked for reasons
they had IL paying less for Idaho
turkeys, l was informed that it was
because large percentage of our
birds have crooked breast bones.
The growth and condition of the Ida
no turkey. with this exception. was
as good. If not better, than those
grown in Oregon or Washington.
But when The turkey with the
crooked breast was placed on the re-
tail marke., 1t had to be sold at from
l6 per cent to 20 per cent less than
birds that were otherwise in no
better condition. The turkey with
a crooked breast bone cannot be
carved nearly SO well and has not
the attractive appearance that the
best market demands.
From Information we have at
hand, we estimate that within a
seventy-fiye radius of Caldwell,
there will be placed on the market
this season 100000 worth of tur-
keys, and judging from past exper-
fences, large per cent of these will
have crooked breast bones unless
something Is done to remove the
cause. This loss 20 the grower is
enormous. For example: On each
turkey weighing twelve pounds
commanding, in good condition. a
price OF "a cents per pound dressed
or s2.SS, if sold at loss of 16
cents, would amount to SO cents OH
each turkey. or $4,000 on the tur.
keys that will be placed on the mar.
ket this year in the vicinity of Cald.
well alone.
We are informed that the crook.
ed breast bone Is caused by the
young turkeys roosting on a small
porch on which they must rest theil
braest to balance we'll during tho
hours of roosting, and this could be
overcome by providing rouno
perch of sufficient size that the cas-,
resting OF the foot. with slight nat
urai grip Of the toes when the leg 1.
bent, would permit the body to bal
ance without using the breast as 6
prop. Do not permit your turkey.

THRIFT.

Thrift does not mean putting 1T

mean miserliness. II means more than
these; It stands for prudence, fore

hard-boiled eggs making about one
fourth of the mixture eggs, or rolled
oats, may be used in place of the
bread crumbs. Feed the bread
crumbs, rolled oats, or johnnycake
mixtures five times daily for the first
week, then gradually substitute. for
one or two feeds of the mixture fine-
ly cracked grains of equal parts by
weight of cracked wheat, finely
cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal or
hulled oats, to which about five per
cent of cracked peas or broken rice
and two per cent of charcoal or mil
let or rape seed may be added. A
commercial chick feed may be sub
situted if desired. The above ration
can be fed until the chicks are two
weeks old, when they should be plac-
ed on grain and dry or wet mash
mixture.
After the chicks are ten days old a
good growing mash, composed OF two
parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, one part cornmeal, one
part Iow-grade wheat -four or red
dog middlings, and ten per cent sifted
beef scrap, may be placed in hop
per and left before them all the time.
The mash may be fed either wet or
dry; if wet, only enough moisture
(either milk or water) should be add
ed to make the feed crumbly, but in
no sense sloppy. When this growing
mash or mixture is not used, hopper
containing bran should be accessible
to the chickens at all times.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily,
with good results. After they are
three months old three feelings a day
are enough
When one has only a few chickens,
il is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where con-
siderable number are reared it is

sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them togeth-
err. Some chick feeds contain a large
quantity of grit and may contain
grains of poor quality, so that they
should be carefully examined and
guaranty as to quality secured before
AS soon as the chickens will eat the
whole wheat usually in about eight
weeks), cracked corn, and other
grains, the small chick feed can
be eliminated. In addition to the
above feeds the chickens growth can
be fastened if they are given sour
milk. skim milk, or buttermilk to
drink. Growing chickens kept on a
good range may be given all their
feed in a hopper, mixing two parts
by- weight of cracked corn with one
part of wheat, or equal parts of
cracked corn. wheat, and oats in one
hopper and the dry mash for chick
ems in another. The beef scrap may
be left out of the dry mash and fed
in separate hopper, SO that the
chickens can eat all of this feed they
desire. If the beef scrap is to be fed
separately. it is advisable to wait I'M
til the chicks are ten days old, al
though some poultrymen put the beef
scrap before the young chickens at
the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alafalfa, or clover, but the best place
to raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Where the chickens are
kept In small bare yards, fine char
coal, grit, and oyster. shell should be
kept before the chickens all of The
time, and cracked or ground bone
NAV be fed. The bone is not neces-
sary for chickens that have a good

Prepared by Rev. d. M. Stearns.

As the next lesson will be the quar-
terly review, we must endeavor to sum-
marize the last two chapters In this
lesson. 1t may be little difficult to
arrange all the events of the resurrec-
ton day and of the forty days before
His ascension in their correct order,
but that is grand and comprehensive
saying in Acts /, 3, "He showed Him.
self alive by many infallible proofs"
Then I'm John Xxx, 81, the reason of
Johns gospel, ''These are written that
We might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that believ-
ing We might have life through His
name" In His great prayer He said
to His Father, This is Life Eternal
that they might know thee, the only
True God, and Jesus Christ whom
Thou hast sent" John xvii, 81. He is
alive forevermore, has the keys of
hades and of death and has all power
in heaven and on earth (Rev. i, IS;
Matt. xviii 49,, and it is for us to
show these facts in our lives that 9th
ers may know Him too. 1t does seem
an amazing thing that even Peter and
John had not received any of His say
ings that He would rise from the dead
on the third day (yerse o., though he
had again and again so plainly said
so Matt. xvi, 21; xvii, %; Xxx, IS, 19).
Neither had Mary Magdalene nor the
other women received these truths,
with the one exception of Mary OF
Bethany.
How wonderful that He should APP
pear first to Mary Magdalene and call
her by name Mark xvi, o; John Xxx,
16) His reason for not allowing her
to touch Him is so clearly and simply
stated in Xxx, II, that we cannot but
wonder that it does not satisfy every
one. The other women met Him lit
tie later and held Him by the feet and
worshiped Him Matt. xviii, o, 10Y,
so that between these two appearings
He must have been to His Father and
returned. Between His death and res
direction He was surely with the Fa-
Their, according to Luke xiii, 43, 46,
! but He was on His way to His Father
| in His resurrection body when He APP
peared to Mary and called her by
name. Some time that day He had a
special interview with Peter, then the
walk to Emmaus with the two, and in
the evening lie appeared In the midst
of those who were gathered in the up
per room, with the doors shut for fear
OF the Jews. He showed them His
hands and His side and twice said,
peace be unto you" Xxx, 1929. He
also commissioned them to go in His
name and proclaim the forgiveness OF
sins. See also Acts xiii, 3S, 80. 1t was
on that evening that He said, "a Spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as We see Me
have; handle Me and see that 1t is
Myself" and He ate piece Of broiled
fish and honeycomb before them Uuke
