Federal Inspector Inter
views County Commits
sioners Relative To
Tests

DR.. w. A. Sullivan, of Boise, in
epector in charge Of the United Bur
eau of Animal Husbandry for Idaho.
was present at the meeting of the
board of county commissioners last
Monday and gave an interesting ex-
PLANTATION OF the methods used in the
testing of dairy herds and range cat
tie for tuberculosis. Should the
commissioners decide to go ahead
with this work every head Of stock
in Gilmore county would be inspect
ed and those showing signs OF the
disease would be killed and the gov
ernment and state would recompense
the owners and uninspected cattle
would not be permitted to enter the
county.
DR.. Sullivan explained TO the COM
missioners that tuberculosis could
easily be contracted by humans from
infected cows and that the cattle 50
infected could not be disposed of as
all of the packing plants of the coun-
try refuse to accept a carcass until
II has been submitted to the test.
The commissioners are taking this
matter under adyisement, while
making an endeavor to ascertain
public opinion upon the subject. The
county will have to participate in
the expense, which is estimated to
be in the neighborhood of four hun
dred and fifty dollars. The expense
is small when ii is taken into con-
that human life may be
saved by eliminating the possible
contraction of the dreaded disease
from the milk of an infected animal.

COMMISSIONERS
INSPECT ROAD
Commissioners I'll. B. How
land and j. f. Gaines Go
Over Proposed Road
To Mine

County Commissioners John F.
Gaines and Horace B. Howland left
last Wednesday morning for Atlanta,
from which place they will make an
inspection trip of the proposed road
to the Black Warrior Placer proper
ty. The new road, which if viewed
favorably by the commissioners will
be built for a distance of fifteen
miles over an abandoned road bed
and the cost is estimated to be in
the neighborhood of fifteen hundred
dollars in which the mining company
has signified it's willingness to parti-
cipate.
The Black Warrior Mining Com
pany have found it necessary to pack
all of their provisions from Atlanta
to the property and the completion
of the new road will not only ac-
comodate them but also several other
properties en- route and will open up
a good fishing stream to the enthus-
lasts of this section.

TRUCKING LAMBS
PROVES BENEFICIAL

Mountain Home sheepmen are full
ly convinced that the trucking OF
their lambs to the local station for
shipment has proven big saving in
shrinkage. One of the latest ex-
amples Of this saving is in the case
of Charles Spencer, who trucked his
lambs from The jumpers, in the Mud
Flat section of owyhee county to the
Mountain Home stock yards. The
lambs arrived in Mountain Home
weighing ninety pounds and were
delivered on the Chicago markets
at eighty seven pounds, shrinkage
of only three pounds which is con-
sidered remarkable

Experience is perhaps the best

undertake to find out everything for
ourselves From the mathematicians

are the vehicles through which the
age-long experience Of the race is
transmitted to individuals. In recent
years, a significant new literature has
sprung up--books about every form
of economic enterprise have leaped
from the press.
The man who is bent on rising will
supplement his own observations in
the shop. the office and the factory
with intelligently selected reading. If
he becomes a ribbon clerk, instead of
being subconsciously ashamed Of his
vocation, he will read the best avail
able books on the technical and eco
nomic aspects of ribbon and will sup
plement his fundamental studies by
following trade periodicals. If he
does this and digests his studies, he
will be moving inevitably toward the
position of buyer and head Of stock.
His employer cannot think Of hold
ing down an individual who shows
such genuine interest in preparing
himself for larger responsibilities.
Business New Dignity.
Business has ceased to be looked
upon as lowly pursuit for the vul-
gar. Having attained a new dignity,
it is no longer apologetic. In the
twentieth century, the work-a-day
world has become scientific, and is for
~
wisdom in books.
In the recent development of a new
literature about barter, production and
money matters. tones. profound and
superficial, on every aspect of the
American national pastime Of money
getting have been written. Practi-
toners and philosophers have rushed
into print to express in systematic
form the hows and wherefores Of pres
ent day finance. Almot every question
about any phase of money making
and saving is completely answered in
some volume. Yet business. of course,
is a living organism. perpetually
