The club exhibit which was held in
Paris last Saturday surprised and de-
lighted many of the grown people
who had no idea of the amount and
excellent quality of work which was
being done. Some fine pigs and poul-
try were shown as we'll as a large
anou9t of canned and garden pro-
ducts. In spite of the fact that this
HNs-9 poor year for crops, some of
fhe squash, pumpkins. potatoes, car
rofs, beets and tomatoes and other
vegetables made the people open up
their eyes and look eagerly for the
names of the producers. One small
boy appeared with some excellent cit,
rons which he had raised on the dry
farm. Another garden club mem
ber sent some fine winter radishes.
Again from Bennington came some
fresh Strawberries, picked the day be-
fore-showing the unusual scope and
variety of vegetables which are being
produced. In the canned products
practically everything imaginable in
the line of canned fruits, vegetables,
meats, pickles, jams and jellies and
dried product were exhibited One
snail miss showed an exhibit OF "a
varieties of canned goods which she
had put up in her first year Of can
ning. Several others showed from 10
to 10 varieties. Owing to the cleo
trical power being off. it was impos-
slble to hold the canning demonstra-
lions. In the afternoon Mrs. Isa-
belle Coffin of the Extension Depart
ment gave a demonstration of cheese
making in the home, making a 61s
pound full cream cheese from six and
one-half gallons of milk. She show
ed the practicability of making the
cheese at home, using only utensils
which can be found in every farm
house. AS small an amount as two
gallons can be used, making two
bounds of cheese. Mr.. Moore, State
Poultry Specialist, who judged the
poultry, also gave culling demon
stration, instructing the visitors in
separating their laying hens from the
'boarders" or non-layers. Other Wis
TORS from outside the county were
Mr.. Stevens of Blackfoot, who judged
the pigs and w. T. CcCall, the state
club leader. Much interest was dis
played, several hundred people at
tending the exhibit during the day.
In the garden work judging was done
by Mr.. Tracy Shepherd and Morris
Low; in the canning w. T. Mccall
and Miss Leah Ceilings; Mr. Moore
in the poultry and Mr.. Stevens the
pigs.

ELECTRICITY TOO COSTLY
FOR HEATING HOMES

Boise, Oct. 13.-Idaho citizens eam
never expect to have their homes
heated by electricity generated by the
states water resources. The public
utilities commission, in a decision
announced Saturday, on its findings
in hearing conducted last winter
at which more than 80 noted electric
al experts testified. expresses the op-
inion that the plan is inreasible.
Two difficulties stand in the way
of the use of electricity for heat:
The enormous amount of electrical
energy required and the cost of that
energy as compared with coal
To heat only the 1000 houses in
the territory OF the Idaho Power Co.
would require the use OF $4,000
horse power or more than three
times the amount of horse power al
ready developed in the state for light
and power purposes, the utilities
commission found.
To heat single gIx-room house
a year would require $4,000 horse
power, as compared to only 25 kilo-
watts month to light the same
house, according to the commission's
report.
Political speakers have frequent
ly alleged that the state is dilatory
in developing power for heating pur-

NOTE INCREASE OF RABIES
Recrudescence of Dread Disease De- clared to Be a Direct Result
 of the War.

Among the plaques to follow the great war, rabies must be reckOned with. Already it has reappeared in England, while from the very begin ming an increase was apparent in France. Before the struggle began Belgium and the districts doomed to be occupied in northern France swarmed with dogs, and rabies was sufficiently common. This abundance was due in part to the extensive use of the dog as a draught animal in those localities. After the invasion these animals moved westward in large num- bers. They appeared to breed as usual and were under little or no police su- pervfsiOn, although conditions for SUD- pressing the danger were most favor able. Rabies showed an increase from the North sea to Switzerland, and was carried far into the interior of France. Here police protection was as good as absent. The type too is virulent, as shown by the short incubation period. Lenoir, who. writes to the above effect in a health bulletin abstracted in the Journal de Medicine ct de Chirurgie Pratique, was the officer in charge of an anti-rabies campaign, which SUD- pressed the disease in South Africa In 1902,

Hard to Find Good in Crow.

About as omnivOrous as anything could we'll be, crows eat dead animals and are dreaded agents in the spread ing of diseases such as hog cholera, fOot-and-mouth disease and glanders. Unsuitable egg eaters, they SCOUT the fields, hedge rows, thickets and or chards for nests of birds and even for eggs of the barnyard fowls. They dis played, I-well remember, almost human intelligence in watching our turkey hens to their nests, and then waiting on some nearby fence stake or dead tree top for the eggs. They follow the wild ducks to their nesting grounds in the far north to feast on the eggs and young. Prairie chickens suffer severe ly from their depredations and the pheasant preserves are the frequent victims of their marauding habits.- Exchange.

Butter From Coconut MIIk.

Butter is churned from coconut milk as from cows milk. According to British patent of late date the milk is completely extracted by crush ing the fresh kernel of the coconut to a paste with the addition of skimmed coconut milk from a later stage. The cellulose is then separated in a filter press, and the resinous mat ter is removed in a centrifugal sepa- rator. The cream is then collected from the purified milk in a centrifugal cream separator. The separated cream is pasteurized, subjected to a tactic fermentation, churned into butter, and this is washed with water. Albumen or vegetable casein is precipitated from the skinned coconut milk by heat and powdered gypsum, and is col lected, washed, pressed and, dried.

SaOpf1Ire Is New Fashion Gem.

That person who wishes to be in 1t, to use the English equivalent for the French phrase, will wear sapphires. Such Is the edict of fashion. One req son for this Is that it has been com- paratively easy to initiate the ruby, hitherto enthroned as the show gem. Another probably is that the sapphire has been somewhat neglected and it is prudent to get rid of accumulated stock.
