offered six cents a bushel, and be-
coming angry at the low price Of

PORTIA CLUB HAS
BIG MEETING
INTERESTING PROGRAM BY.
LIBRARY COMMITTEE GOOD.
MEETING.

The bal news for the Club mem
bers of the city is the approaching
visit OF the state president, Mrs.
NJ. j. Sweeley of Twin Falls, and a
special meeting will be called that
all may meet Mrs. Sweeley, who will
her winning personality, will add
much interest to Club work and none
can afford to miss the meeting.
A timely suggestion was made by
Mrs. Muller, who knows SO we'll of
the good accomplished last fall by
the "Rummage Sale" and it will be
repeated next fall. The request is to
tie up parcels of wearing apparel
and mark 'rummage,' put away in a
closet instead of burning. Anything
that would do for tops or lining or
middle Of comforts or cast off shoss,
in fact burn nothing that could be
of use to some needy family.
Mr.. Swanson, the Auctioneer, has
consented to sell at his Saturday
sale for the club, any piece OF furni-
ture that any one will donate TO the
club for that purpose. If you have
any utensil or any thing whose room
is needed for something else, let
Mrs. Chase or Mrs. Muller know.
The program was in charge of the
Library Committee, Mrs Muller
chairman The subject was South
America, and Mrs. Rough in very
interesting way told of the fforts of |
James G. Blaine, while Secretary of
State to form a Pan American Union
and his final success. One can readi-
ly see the Importance Of this union,
in the present almost world war.
Besides promoting commercial rela-
tions between the two Americas, the
Peace treaty patterned after The
Hague, seems to insure peace be-
tween these two continents.
Mrs. Tweedy was unable to bel
present but her sister, Mrs. Scott
Brainard, proved a worthy substitute.
She had relief maps to illustrate her
talk and one thing that was of inter
est among many was about a statue
of Christ placed on the top OF the
Andes to commemorate the lasting
peace between Argen ina and Chile.
Mrs. Fenske told about the A. B. S
c. group, or Argentina, Brazil and {
Chile, and Mrs. Muller concluded this
part of the program by reading ex-
cerpts from personal letters, writ
ZEN from Rio de Jeneiro, that gave
4 glimpse of the customs. dress and
language Of Brazil Portuguese is I
he important one there although t
of French helps. A typi- '
;al menu for five daily meals, would y
;reate havoc with u S. pocketbooks, /
o say nothing of the digestion.
For music Mr.. Brown kindly came
n and with Miss Landon accompan-
st, played a delightful violin solo,
ind for an insistent encore, played
mother to which MieI Landon add {
ID her voice, the bending of the e
'oice and violin being a surprise and p
pleasure as well. 4 10

DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Mice GirdIed Trees.

Reports come in of mice having
girdled apple trees six to fifteen
years of age. Grass in the vicinity oi
trees harbors mice and it sometime
happens that this girdling is done
just below the ground surface espec-
tally if the trees have wire screen
protection above ground. Investigate
now and plan to bridge-graft bafore
the injured trees dry out. Use 1916
wood growth for this, placing the
scions about inches apart around
the trunk. Any variety will do the

TREATMENT FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone, Air-SIaked, Water
Slaked or Lump Lime Can Be
Used Successfully.

Lime is the one remedy used for
acid soils, and it is very easily applied.
Ground limestone, air-slaked lime, or
water-slaked lime, or lump lime can
be used. A peck Of quicklime will be
about right for a square rod of gar
den, and double the amount of slaked
lime or ground limestone will give
about the SAME results. The ground
stone or the slaked lime can be scat
tered easily, but the quicklime will
have to be piled in small piles and
allowed to slake before r. can be dis
tributed. In shaking with water do
not use much, just enough so the
stone will Stake quickly and will make
a dry powder when through.

which is no greater, and In many
cases is even less, than the cost of
maintaining a scrub.
Better and fewer bulls" is a
phrase which represents the aim of
these associations. A typical organi-
cation is composed of from Is to 80
farmers who own Jointly five bulls.
The territory of the association is di-
vided into five breeding blocks and one
bull assigned to each block. To pre-
vent inbreeding, each bull is moved to
the next block every two years. Bar
ring losses from death or other causes,
therefore, no new bulls need be pur-
chased for ten years. 1t is customary
to apportion the purchase price, and
the expense of supporting the bulls,
among the members according to the
number of cows owned by each.
These associations have been known
in the United States only since 1908,
when tho first one was organized, in
Michigan. The short time which has
elapsed since then makes it impossible
to demonstrate the full value of the
associations, because the influence of
n pure-bred sire is felt ~ the herd
.+-or more than one generation.
In regard to the returns from grad
ing up cattle through the use OF the
pure-bred bulls of the cooperative
Associations, one estimate obtained
from farmers in Maryland, Michigan,
and Minnesota, places the increased
value of the offspring in the first
generation at from 30 to so per cent,
or an average of 65 per cent. Such
large profits are commonly associated
by business men with the possibility
of equally serious loss, but in the bull
associations this does not seem to be
true 1t is difficult to see that any
probability of loss exists.

FIXING VALUE OF SKIM MILK
Result Given of Experiments Made by
Dean Henry at Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station.

Dean w. A. Henry, who for many
years was In charge of the feeding ex-
periments at the Wisconsin station,
concluded after great many expert
ments that when corn is worth so cents
per bushel the value of skim milk is
81 cents per hundred pounds, and
when corn is worth "a cents per BUSH
ell, skim milk is worth 46 cents per
hundred.
Gov. w. D. Hoard, for many years a
leading dairyman in Wisconsin, sug-
gested the following rule for finding
the money value of skim milk: 'Mul-
tiply the market value of live hogs in
cents per pound by five when skim
milk is fed alone. but when fed with
corn or barley, multiply the price by
six" This gives the money value of
skim milk per hundred pounds.
The Gurler rule is that skim milk is
worth half as much per hundred
pounds as corn is worth per bushel.
Dollar corn would therefore mean 80
cents as the price for skim milk.

TUBERS ON STRAWBERRY BED
Large Yields and High Quality Sc
i cured If Suitable Seed Is Used
Ohio Station Plan.

One of the best crops that can be
grown on an old strawberry bed is po-
tatoes. They may also be planted af-
ter crop of clover has been cut.
Large yields and high quality may be
secured if suitable seed is planted.
For such planting the potatoes make
quick growth if sprouted in partial
sunlight in the spring. When spread
out in shallow trays or on a floor
where the sun shines part of the day,
short. stubby, green sprouts grow to
one-half to three-fourths of an inch
long, and the tubers shrivel somewhat.
These potatoes may then be cut and
planted with the sprouts on, care being
taken not to injure them. At the Ohio
experiment station such seed planted
June 80 yielded nearly twice as much
as ordinary cellar-stored potatoes

HELP SMALL FARMERS
Cooperative Bull Associations
Becoming Big Factor.
Especially Adapted to Herds Which
Are Too Small 70 Afford Valuable
Animal at Head-organi=a-
tions Are New.

There are now more than 80 active
cooperative bull associations in the
United States, representing total
membership of $50 and owning about
120 pure-bred bulls. In the opinion OF
specialists, cooperation in this re-
spect is only in its infancy and CO.
operative bull associations should be-
come a great factor in the improve
men of our dairy cattle.
The cooperative bull association is
especially adapted to herds which are
so small that a valuable bull for each
herd would be too heavy an invest
ment to be justified by the extent of
the business. Through cooperation,
cattle owners are enabled to obtain
the benefits which come from the use
of a pure-bCed sire at an expense

POULTRY MANURE IN GARDEN
Mixed With Equal Amount Of Dry
Earth and Spread Broadcast VIII
Prove Beneficial.

A common way of using hen manure
for garden purposes is to mix 1t with
an equal amount of dry earth, crush
it, and then spread 1t by hand. The
amount necessary, of course, depends
upon the condition of the garden soil.
A liberal application spread broad
cast, however, win be beneficial in
most all cases.
Usually the dust is applied on the
dropping boards in the coop, as 1t
helps to keep the coop sanitary. and
absorbs the moisture, also prevents
the nitrogen In the manure from es-
Gaping.
For a complete fertilizer containing
hen manure, the following is good :
-Four hundred pounds of hen manure,
200 pounds of dissolved bone. 100
pounds muriate of potash, $50 pounds
of plaster and 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda.
At present you would probably have
some difficulty in getting the muriate
of potash and nitrate Of soda, and
therefore 300 pounds of dissolved bone
and $50 pounds of plaster added to the
manure would be the best combina-
ton under present circumstances.

marks written by Judge Nicholson:
The annexed song was composed under
| the folio wing circumstances: A gentleman
had lett Baltimore in a flag of truce for
the purpose OF getting released from the
British fleet friend OF his who had been
captured at Marlborough. He went as
FAR as the mouth OF the Patuxent and
was not permitted to return lest the in
tended attack on Baltimore should be dis
closed. He was therefore brought up the
bay to the mouth Of the Patapsco where
the flag vessel was kept under the guns
of a frigate and he was compelled to wit
ness the bofnbardment of Fort McBenry
which the admiral had Soacted that he
could carry in a few hours aud that the
city must fall. He watched the flag of
the fort through the whole day with an
anxiety that can better be felt than de-
scribed. until the night prevented him from
seeing it. In the night he watched the
bomb shells and at early dawn his eye
was again greeted by the proudly waving
flag OF his country.

The poet himself explains the circum-
stances which led to the writing of
the words as follows:

summer of 1885, when war with France
was thought to be inevitable. Congress
was then in session In Philadelphia de-
