USING THE OLD TIE

In these days of the scarcity Of
coal, the old railroad tie has finally
come into it's own On the Union
Pacific Railroad, at least, the time
honored system of burning these
old ties has been discontinued.
In hundreds of instances along the
right Of way of the Union Pacific
arrangements have been made with
owners of adjoining farms to whom
the old ties are given in payment for
the blowing of burrows paralleling
the railroad, as a fire guard. This
fire guard acts as an effective break
to prevent the spreading of fires
which start from sparks of locomo-
tives.
At other points, the old ties are
gathered together and shipped to a
nearby point where they are cut up
and used by the railroad itself as
fuel. Much of this material is used
in firing stationary engines. At sew
eral of the district terminals these
old ties are sawed up into stove
| lengths and sold at a nominal sum
to railroad employees. The same is
done with displaced bridge timbers
the wood on old cars that are tori
down, and wood on cars that ar,
destroyed in wrecks.

Consider the Dairy Cow.
BY T. H. McDermott.)

Shall We dispose of cows and heif-
ers this fall rather than buy hay at
$1,000 per ton?
This is a question many dairymen
of the Boise Valley will ask them
selves during the next 80 days We
don't believe that positive yes or
no would he a correct answer in all
cases even under our present abnor-
NAL conditions. We have tried to
answer this question for ourselves,
and reviewing the situation and cir
cumstances have made some deduc-
lions which we submit below for what
they are worth, with the hopt that
most dairy herds at least will be kept
intact, and that instead of sacrificing
any appreciable number of cows
mora diligent attempt to deterni rG
which ire the better ones will be pur-
sued.
We are not making a guess even as
10 how many 300-pound cows there
are in the herds of the Valley. tnt
we believe there are quite a number
that if fed all the good hay they will
cat throughout the year, and a gooi
PASTURE as supplement for five
months, will produce this amount
during the milking period Of ten
months. We are figuring on a full
feed for l 2 months of the year, al
though We only expect her to milk
ten. We are going on the theory that
she will pay for her feed consumed
during the two months she was dry
because of her better condition to
produce when she comes fresh.
We have estimated on a basis of
45c for butter fat the year round at
the cheese factory. This would be
high under normal conditions and we
doubt if the price of butter fat today
is in accord with prices of other food
products, but we believe while feed is
high butter and cheese will at least
keep its present proportion.
We figure this value of $1,000 or
the calf at a week or ten days ole
and consider it a fair price for heifel
or steer, and for heifer calves of tn
smaller breeds.
Ii we were separating milk an
feeding calves We would figure on
basis of $4,000 at ten months TO
same calf. At another time we shal
he glad to give some figures to sui
stantiate a value of 15c for whey
We have been conducting some ger
eral experiments with feeding whe
to hogs We are prompted to sui
nit this matter for discussion at thi
time in the hope that the dairy bust
ness of the Boise Valley which ha
been built up al cost of 50 mucl
effort, and which has such prom
Using future may he strengthened
rather than thrown down by the al
normal conditions facing us now.

CATHOLIC W0NAN'S
CLUB MEETS

On Wednesday afternoon the Cath
Ollie Woman's club was accorded the
privilege of listening to Rev. Father
Durward tell story of real life.
Rev. Father Durward took for his
subject the life of his father, Profess
sor B. r. Durward, who was born in
Montrose, Scotland, March &c, 1917.
He told of his early life in Scotland,
his marriage and emigration to this
country, settling in Milwaukee, where
Rev. J. T. Durward, the third son, was
born. Professor Durward learned the
shoemaker's trade at an early age, but
being of an artistic nature, he neglect
ed his trade and devoted his time to
art and literature. He taught at st.
Francis seminary at Milwaukee for a
number of years, and while living in
Milwaukee he embraced the Catholic
faith At the breaking of the civil
war he moved his family to the place
now far-famed as "DurWard's Glen"
Here he remained until the time of
his death. Rev. Father read many of
Professor Durward's poems, among
them "The Lock of HAIR" a poem
that Professor Durward wrote to a
former sweetheart upon receiving
lock of her hair. milwaukee Bay"
This poem was the means, at one
time, of saving this beautiful body of
water from undesirable wharves being
built into it. "The Mother" "The
Bird in the Church" He also read
few poems written on Durward's Glen.
He then gave history of his fathers

spark Of love for the fatherland ?"

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: As

cause of the i'll feeling engendercd by

boards to decide to abolish that stud!
is that Of Astoria, one of the larger
Oregon communities But there is no
logical relation between the German
language and this war.
To exclude that LANGUAGE from tn
schools referred to is an insult to mill
ions OF good American citizens of Ger
man birth or parentage. Their mother
tongue Is a priceless heritage for all
time
To abolish the teaching Of that Ian
guage is an outrage upon knowledge,
German Is preemnently the language
of research and Of criticism: no other
tongue compares with it in those fun
damental fields OF knowledge.
