HAS BORAH BEEN
HISINFORMED?

Senator Borah in speech to the
senate on February IS, describing
the poverty Of northwestern states,
quoted a letter written to him by
4 Mr.. Mansfield, farmer whom he
says is we'll known In Washington,
Mr. Mansfield who described things
as follows: ..,,.- -.
There are thousands Of farmers in
Washington, Montana and southern
Idaho, who are unable to send their
children to school on account Of not
having books; great many Of them
are living mostly on bread and milk !;
good army of them have to 60
to their banker and beg for money
enough to buy sack of -four. y
A great many of the farmers, even
in our best districts have not been
able to pay their last summers store
bill; therefore they cannot take in
these people who are hungry and out
Of work. Farmers will be able to
hire but very few men in the spring
In consequence poor farming will be
done and acreage will be cut"
II these conditions exist to any
considerable extent, "even. in the
best districts we have not been in.
formed as to Just where they are.

NOTICE POULTRY RAIsERs

Poultry that is bothered with lice,
mites, housed in dark unclean quar-
ters, can; not give the owners the
returns they should get as poultry
keepers.
Lice, mites and scaly leg mite can
be controlled by the use of proper
methods.
To control mites, first support the
roosts, which should be all the same
height from the ground and not one
above another; SO that the roosts
do not touch the side walls. This
can be easily and .cheaply done by
using blocks Of wood to support the
stringers on which the roosts rest.
Roosts should be covered with kero-
sene once every two weeks, also the
supports. Roosts should be detach-
able, 2x2 inch material or 2x4 ma
teriaL laid SO that birds roosts on
two inch surface, round poles about
two inches thru are also good. AL
How eight inches per bird and place
roosts Is inches apart.
To rid poultry of lice use sodium
fouride, which can be purchased at
any drug store. One pound Is SUI
fcient to treat approximately Is
BIRDS Sodium fouride acts as a
stomach poison to all types Of lice.
Catch all birds, dust under wings
and at vent and fluff with a generous
pinch Of powder. -
Scales On legs are caused by small
mites. Catch each bird affected,
brush or swab the legs and feet with
kerosene.
Long toe claws, also bally claws
should be corrected. Prune the
claws with a knife and hammer, cut
so that edge cut is fiat with the
ground. The birds: that can not

FEEDING THE WILD ELK

"The finest trip in the world" il
the way John Crowley and Leor
Bachman described their visit to the
Jackson Hole country. They re-
turned Friday morning from a few
days spent in that region making
the trip for the purpose of seeing
the large bands of elk that are feed
ing there.
The trip to Victor was made by
train and at Victor they took the
stage which is now run on bob
sleighs The snow at Victor is about
two feet deep and on the top of the
hill is from eight to twelve feet deep.
Teams are changed at the top of the
divide and travellers given an oppor-
tunity to get warm, but on the day
the local men went over, the weather
was mild and no warming up was
necessary.
There has been no wind in the
hole and the snow lies packed from
two to three feet deep. There are
between 5000 and 10000 head of
elk being fed in the hole by the gov
eminent and they are wintering in
much better shape than they have
in some seasons. Mr.. Crowley said
it was reported that some elk down
on the Hoback were in rather bad
condition but the others in the main
part of the hole were in good shape.
The cows are fat and the calves look
fine, he said. k
The local men visited one feeding
ground where 1000 head were being
fed. They rode out into the middle
of the herd on big load of hay and
Mr.. Crowley says the most wonderful
sight he ever saw was that when
those 1000 elk heads with their
beautiful antlers were turned toward
the load of hay.
Many of the elk wander down into
the town of Jackson and one morn
ing they noticed two head on top of
barn where they were trying to
get at some hay.
The weather has been mild in
Jackson and the beauty and pleasure
of the trip which can be made at
small expense, is beyond description,
according to Mr.. Crowley.
The bridge over the river Is near
ing completion and will be ready for
use in about three weeks. ~
Altho the woman mayor OF Jack
son is out Of the city, Mr.. Crawley
located the acting mayor, who is
landlady of the hotel, and Buck
found the lady barber. Reports from
Jackson also state that Buck
demonstrated great ability in max
ing head-first dives into snow drifts.

to produce the best pork product
the type of ham and shoulder, by
the way, which the Berkshire more
uniformly produces.
The belly that is in greatest de.
mand should average about one and
one-half inches thick, eight to ten
inches wide. The best weight is in
the neighborhood of six to eight
pounds, tho there is some special
trade that demands weight as low
as four to six pounds, and some trade
in the east which prefers the eight
to ten pound size. The best bellies
should show no trace of wrinkles.
They are not heavy in hide and
show the firm white fat of the fin
ished hog properly intermingled with
meaty streaks Of lean. The eight to
ten to twelve pound grades Of hams
of smooth, meaty and firm texture
are in greatest demand The plump
little ham is most desired without
about one inch of fat at the center
of the ham.
Picnic shoulders should conform to
ham standards and should weigh
from four to ten pounds. The loin
is the principal product from the
animal that is sold fresh, and it
should weigh from eight to ten
pounds. The modern consuming
family insists on obtaining from four
to five chops to the pound. The eye
of this meat should be thick, round
and bullying so as to give an attrac-
tive shape. That is brought about
in varying degree, according to the
squarness of the top and the arch
of the rib in the live hog.
From now on the demand of the
consuming public-the men and wo-
men who eat the product that the
farmer raises-is going to exact
more and more attention from the
farmer because the packer is going
to have to meet that demand and he
is going to buy, most readily, the
live animal that will enable him to
do this Packer buyers are finding
that Berkshires offer an especially
fine medium thru which the de-
mands of the consuming public can
best be satisfied, and farmers can
well afford to study their usefulness
in selecting their future breeding
stock, -COntributed, fNtPt

TELLS THRILLING
STORY OF WRECK
Local Business Man on Board Ill.
Fated Passenger Train Sat
urday Night

C. R. Estenson, a local business
man, was on the train Saturday
night that met with a serious wreck
one mile west of Burley. Mr.. Esten-
son tells a thrilling story of the
wreck, and of the fortunate escape
of the passengers. He was riding
at the time of the accident in the
smoking car and the first intimation
of trouble came when the brakes
were put on suddenly and with such
force that threw him forward in his
seat. The light in the car went out
and the. next few minutes were
anxious ones, said Mr.. Estenson, and
they seemed like hours. The car
was derailed and ran along on the
ties for quite ways, giving sway
ing motion which threatened to turn
1t over at any moment. The accident
occurred about 7.30 and the night
was quite dark so that the passen-
gers had no idea what kind OF a
road bed they we're travelling on,
whether the cars would pitch over
into some steep ditch or fall from a
bridge. Luckily the track lay on
an even stretch of ground so that
they kept right side up.
After the cars finally came to a
stop, Mr.. Estenson stepped from the
coach and went forward to see the
condition of the other cars and en-
CINE. The first sound that came to
him was the grooming of a man in
the express car which had been over
turned and lay on its side. The man
had been pinned down by a huge
safe when the car turned over and
1t. was nearly Is minutes before the
safe could be removed from his body.
The expressman, Mr.. Elefsen, died
shortly after they removed him. On
beyond the express car was the mail
car which had remained upright.
II could not see the engine for
some time," said Mr.. Estenson, "as
it was overturned and the other cars
kept 1t from view. When l did see
it l saw what seemed a mass OF
smoking iron with the cab smashed
in and I thought both the engineer
and fireman must be under the ruin,
but soon heard some one yell at one
of the men and he answered that
both he and his mate were alive but
injured"
Mr.. Estenson with the other pas
sengers walked to Burley and there
were picked up by a special train and
taken on their way. On beyond the
wreck nearly 200 yards they found
the small front wheels Of the engine
which had been torn loose and had
rolled that far.-Buhl Republican.

Hog Values Are
Undergoing Gradual
Positive Change

The method of establishing hog
values is undergoing gradual, but
positive change. For many years the
weight of the animal has been the
major factor in determining a hogs
value. Today the big packers are
buying their droves with an eye to
the quality of the various cuts which
can be taken from the carcass. Hith-
erto, it had been the practice of hog
buyers to figure pork production on
the basis of the percentage of car
cass yield. Now the packing house
wants to know what the hog carcass
will yield on the cutting table and
the relative quality of hams, bellies,
shoulders and loins is the principal
item in gauging the worth of the
pork animal. The packer cannot put
quality into the meat that he buys.
That must be done by the breeder
and feeder.
Naturally, the hog raiser is anxious
to know what type of animal will
possess the quality in greatest pro-
portion that the packers most desire.
1t will be the marketing of that
type of animal that will bring the
greatest returns to the producer.
The history that was written for
swinemen by the recent international
live stock exposition should serve to
answer that question to large ex-
tent. #& =.@
The description of the grand
champion carcass which, incident
ally, was Berkshire as given by the
Breeders Gazette of December Z, is
worthy Of studious attention. De-
scribing the grand champion Berk-
shine barrow as fitted to the mi
mute, perfect in top and bottom lines,
thickly and smoothly covered thru
out" the Gazette goes on to say, "In
the 200 to 300 pound class the Berk-
shire shown by The VAULTS, Tallula,
ILL.,, won first on carcass which
showed a much higher proportion of
lean to fat than any other entry in
the contest. The Judge pronounced
1t the best carcass that he had seen
during his four years experience as
the hog judge" This would indi-
cate that the very heavy type Of hog
is less desirable and that the animal
which will most easily develop 200
to 800 pounds live weight from
which will come high grade cuts that
are in greatest demand by the trade,
is the ideal animal to breed.
Certainly, the feeder cannot put
quality into a hog unless it is there
to begin with. There are four fac
tors on which quality is dependent.
They are firmness Of flesh, texture,
intermingling of fat and lean. The
packer may have something to do
with the favor. The feeder can af-
feet the firmness of flesh, but the
texture Of lean and fat and the de-
gree to which they intermingle must
depend absolutely upon the heritage
that the hog has to start with. The
breed Of hog that is exemplified by
the Berkshires is given those quail
tiles Of heritage In a generous de-
gree. The ability Of Berkshires to
produce nicely interlarded cuts, rich
in lean, is well known, and there is
always demand for their products.
During the middle of last month
Armour & Co., issued trade letter
in which the statement was made
that their pork business was being
handicapped by q deficiency in the
hams and picnic shoulders of the
weight and quality that was needed

After supper they cleared away the table
for evening, dancing. They did not take the
bridal trip, there being but poor accommodations
in the Russian hotels and they would have been
obliged t., get permit every time they bought
a railroad ticket, every time they went from
one hotel to another and according to the Rus
sian police system would be subject to inspec-

just stayed at the residence Of the brides aunt,

They have all kinds Of weddings in soviet
Russia from the big expensive ones down to
those Were the contracting parties merely APP
pear before the magistrate accompanied by
couple OF witnesses who testify that they are
suitable people to marry and to live in Russia.
In such case the magistrate merely makes
record Of the fact that the two people came
there and were joined and went away as hus-
band and wife. When they have church we'd
ding they have . ceremony that lasts good
while, and there is q train Of brides maids,
gfoomsmen and guests. The couple nearest the
contracting parties hold an immense crown
over their heads all the time during the cere-
mony, the audience rise and kneel and cross
themselves, the bridal party march three times

kisses the bride and then they all 60 home.
In this case, the Baltimore woman we are
telling you about was invited to go with the
guests to the wedding supper, and she learned
all she could about the wedding and the cost
Of 1T. They were well-to-do people and the
groom had had nine suits Of clothes made by
the tailor, one overcOat and fur lined ulster.
She did not learn the cost Of those things The
brides aunt was laxative lady and told her
that the supper for the fifty guests cost about
$4,000 roubles. They had cold meat, salad,
hot. meat crOquettes with fried potatoes white
rolls, several kinds of cake and fruit followed
by coffee. They Also had plebian drink, some
thing like . cross between poor cider and
vinegar, which the Russians use. about as we
use neartbeer in America. Before the wedding
there, was. much discussion as to whether they
should have champagne or not, but as It would
cost $4,000 rOubles bottle It was decided
to cut out the champagne under the crcum-
stances. It would be illegal to use IL or have
it about the place, but there were plenty Of
soviet bootlegers ready to furnish 1t at the
prices named. '.Efsf%FS m III.

Dogs Trained to Hunt Truffles.

The truffie is an edible fungus
growth found in certain parts Of Eu-
rope. growing a few inches under.
ground, and Is considered a delicacy
for the table. Dogs are often trained
to find them. They learn to detect the
presence Of the truffie under the sur
face Of the soil by faint odor given
out by the truffle. The dog, when over
the spot, stops and pats the ground
with his paw. Then the man digs up
the trufiie.
