appropriated for similar purposes
and for a similar period by any Gov
eminent in the history Of the world,
and that it enables the Federal and
State governments to carry out a
bodybuilding program of magni-
tude never equaled. " -
In connection with the great Fed
eral-aid program, it: is also noted
that expenditures for highway work
in the United States this year are
likely to amount to a half billion
dollars or more. On reports received
from State highway departments,
the Bureau of Public Roads esti=
mates the 1919 expenditures for
roads and bridges at 1886, 100000, or
$110,000,000 more than the average
expenditures for 1916 and 1917. !:
- An important effect of the law
containing the new appropriation is
that it broadens the definition of a
rural post road, under which class
a highway had to qualify in order to
receive the benefits of the FEDERAL
aid act. -.
Under the old act it was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be
reasonable prospect that mail
would be carried on it within a short
time after improvement. The new
act says 60: s. =; the term rural
post roads !: x .: shall be con-
strued to mean any public road a
ma ior portion of which is now used
or can be used or forms a connect
ing link not to exceed 10 miles in
length of any road or roads now or
hereafter used, for. the transporter

Guiding every street, and road in q
place having a population, as shown
by the latest available Federal. cen
sus, of $500 or more, except that
portion of any such street, or road
along which the houses average more
than 200 feet apart"
The new act also raises the Gov
eminent limit of contribution from
not to exceed $4,000 mile to not
to- exceed $4,000 a mile, taking &C.
count of higher present costs of
labor and materials
The law also authorizes the Sec

On the rented houses the rent had not

the Senators mentally compared with
conditions in Washington and other
cities where cXtortionate proflteering
in rents had been the practice during
the war Since 1912 Judge Gary said
his concern had paid out 500, 100000
for welfare work, and in the same
period had built fcrty-seven schools

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There is no best breed Of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another to GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to its highest
possible standard. Ii is not feasible
for one individual TO raise several d.
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
lection. In making his choice, too, the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established il his
locality. If ne selects one Of these
he is not likely to make mistake.
TWO Types of Swine.
There are two distinct types Of
swine. namely, the lard and the bacon
types. Swine Of the lard type far out
number those of the bacon type in the
United States. The lard type is pre-
fegrcd by the people Of this country,
consequently the majority Of feeders
produce rapid-fattening, heavy
fieshed lard type. The bacon type is
not raised extensively in the United
States. The production of choice ba-
con is more general In those sections

where the feed of the hog is more
varied and where corn is not relied
upon as the principal grain for hogs.
The principal breeds of the lard
type are the Poland China, Berkshire,
Chester White, Duroc-Jersey and
Hampshire. The lard type of hog is
low set and compact, with very
wide and deep body. The shoulders
should be full although not coarse,
with full hind quarters and hams car
ried out straight to the tail and thick
ly fleshed down to the hook The flesh
should be thick and evenly distributed
throughout the body.
The size and weight are largely de-
termined by market conditions. At
present pigs weighing from 175 to $50
pounds ordinarily command the high
est prices.
Best Bacon Types.
The principal breeds of the bacon
type are the Tamworth and large
Yorkshire, both of British origin. The
bacon type is very different from the
lard type. being longer in leg and
body, with less width of back and
lighter in the shoulders and neck. The
first impression that this type conveys
is one of leanness and lankiness.
Much emphasis Is laid on the develop
ment of side, because it is the side of
the hog that is used for the produc-
ton of bacon. On the other hand,
large, heavy hams are not desirable OH
a bacon hog.

Revenue COlIec-
tor For Idaho
Government Installing Offices
Over the State to Facilitate
Internal Revenue Work

Recognizing the Importance Of
giving to the citizens of Idaho bet
ter service in the matter OF pay
ment of Federal Government taxes
the bureau of Internal Revenue at
the urgent insistance or Senator
John Nugent, has established at
Boise the state capital, an officer
of Collector of Internal Revenue.
Taxpayers of income tax, as well
as those paying tax on admissions,
dues, transportation, jewelry, lux
ury and all other forms of Govern
ment tax, should in the future file
their returns with the Collector of
internal Revenue at Boise.
IN the past the taxpayers of the
state have sent their returns to the
Collectors office at Helena, Mon
tana. The district of Idaho has
been created out of the old Montana
district by the Internal Revenue
Bureau and taxpayers of this state
will no longer report to the Mon
tana district.
1t is important that payers Of
Internal Revenue taxes take notice
of this fact Besides having the
central office at Boise the Bureau
has made arrangements to establish
service stations at other principal
cities in the state. This will be q
great convenience to the taxpayers.
Competent officials will be in
charge of these service stations,
prepared to advise taxpayers how
to prepare their returns. This SER
vice to the taxpayers will be free
of cost and will be given cheerfully
during business hours. While the
service stations will not be in oper
alton for a short time due to the
great amount of work necessary in
the establishment of the central Of
flee at Boise, taxpayers should for
ward their returns to the central
office at Boise, addressed to the
Collector of Internal Revenue.
Prompt attention will be given
to all correspondence in the office.
Taxpayers will be advised through
this paper when these service sta
lions are opened 1t is hoped by
the Department that the public will
avail itself of this convenience.

Medium and Finer Grades of Choice
Wool Are In Keen Demand.

in this work, will enclose with each
check sent to grower circular letter
giving the name of the firm which
handled his wool and which has re-
turned the excess profits, of which the
customer is receiving his share.
No Refunds to consigners.
The department calls attention to
the fact that the regulations of the
war industries board did not permit
the purchase of wool in the great wool
growing states of the Rocky mountain
and Pacific coast region except in the
case of clipssof less than 1000 pounds
each. All larger clips We're required to
be consigned. This region produces
about two-thirds of the entire wool
clip of the country which was about
psf 100000 pounds In 1918. Growers in
the eastern states were urged to pool
and consgn their woods and many of
them did So Since the government
paid the dealers a fixed commission on
consigned wool, excess profits could be
made only on that part of the wool
which they bought outright. Therefore,
growers who consigned their clips
should not expect to receive refunds.
Since the government control Of wool
has ceased the work of the department
of agriculture In this connection con-
sists only Of auditing the records and
accounts of approved wool dealers, the
collection of any profits which they
may have made in excess of those per-
mltted under the regulation of the
war industries board, and the distri-
button by the department Of agricul-
ture of these profits directly to the
growers upon whose wool the profits
wool can be traced.
Permits Issued to Wool Dealers.
The war industries board issued per-
mits to about $500 country" dealers
authorizing them to buy wool directly
from the grower. Permits were also
issued to 179 rdistributlng center"
dealers who had facilities for handling
wool In large quantities and most of
whom were located on the eastern sea-
board near the centers OF wool manu-
facture. These larger dealers were re-
quired to handle wool on consignment
from either growers or country dealers
and were also permitted to buy from
country dealers direct, or from growers
through their agents.
Blank forms calling for detailed
accounting have been sent by the de-
partment to both classes of dealers.
Reports have been received from about
1890 Of the country dealers and about
One-half of the dealers In distributing
centers. The taking over Of the wool
by the war department was completed
80 recently that many of the larger
dealers have been unable to prepare
their reports mt an earlier date The
auditing of these reports is proceeding
rs rapidly rs it can be done with the
limited force available for assignment
to this work, the department says.
