Ramsay Mcdonald. former prime

when alone, just in his dealings, ra-
tional and sane In the fullest meaning
of that word in all the affairs Of life" "
That little phrase, happy when
alone" is unusual and significant. A
knowledge of art is one of those things
which contribute to this happiness.

MAY FORM DAIRY
ASSOCIATION
Dairymen's Testing Associ
alton May Be Formed
In Vicinity of Noun
tain Home

There is a movement on foot for
the formation of a dairymen's test
ing association in the vicinity inn
mediately adjacent to Mountain
Home and between Mountain Home
and King Hill. The matter has been
taken up by King Hill dairymen and
a number of them have agreed TO
join such an organization if 1t is
formed. There has been nothing
definite done by the Mountain Home
Dairymen toward formation of such
a district.
The purpose of such an association
would be to employ a competent milk
tester who would visit the farm of
each member of the association at
least once a month and while at the
farm he would weigh and take sam
pies of the milk of both evening and
morning milkings Of each COW sep
arately and make test of the milk
of each COW, and In this way show
the exact production in pound of
butter fat from each COW. It would
also be the duty of the tester to as
certain whether or not any butter
fat is being lost through faulty
cream separator and to give advice
upon the relative fat producing val
ues of various feeds.
The cost of such service to the in
dividual dairyman would be $500
per month for each herd Of dairy
cows inspected by the official tester,
or if two herds are sufficiently close
together so that the tester could visit
both herds during the same day,
$3.50 month per herd. At the end
Of the fiscal year the tester would
supply each member of the associa-
tion with a herd book coDaining the
name, production, cost, profit or loss
Of each COW. If the dairymen in the
vicinity of Mountain Home care to
cooperate with King Hill and ad-
jacent territory in the formation Of
some such association, the arrange
ments for the association can easily
be made, but if this community is
not interested in forming this or
ganization. It is probable that the
King Hill dairymen will cooperate
with the Gooding farmers.

LISON GROUP TO
BE TAKEN OVER
Property Has Been Lying
Idle For Several Years
One of Best Equipped
In District

> The ONO Mining and Leasing Com
pany, a corporation, has filed articles
of incorporation in Elmore County
preparatory to taking over a block OF
twelve mining claims known as the
Lison group, which lie about two
miles east of Rocky Bar.
This property has been lying idle
for about three years but prior to
that had been held for several years
by the Treasurer Mines Company and
developed by this company; while
the Treasurer did not essentially
work the Lison property, there were
several demonstration runs during
this period and some was recovered.
Prior to the holding by the Treasur-
er Company the property was sue
cessfully operated on bond and
lease for several years. Due to some
disagreement in the syndicate the
New York pople closed down and
the claims remained idle for some
time.
The Lison group is one of the best
equipped pieces of property in the
Rocky Bar district. There is a
twenty stamp mill, saw mill and
considerable other machinery on the
ground at this time. The property
is so situated that water power can
he derived from Elm Creek. Eugene
Lison was the original locator of this
group which contains both quartz
and placer ground.
The ONO Company is planning on
commencing development work as
soon as weather conditions permit.
It is hoped by all that Rocky Bar
will "come back" in the near future.
