Slaughter
Lovers of veal will have to refrain
from the pleasure of eating this class
of meat in Idaho, as Governor Alex
ander, by virtue of his office as gov
ernor and chairman of the state war
council, has issued a proclamation in
which the request is made that the
slaughtering of calves for veal, or
other animals not fully matured be
discontinued and that the people of
the state refrain from eating these
delicacies. The enforcement of the
proclamation is placed in the hands
of the pure food commissioner who
has notified all butchers in the state
to desist from the slaughter of un
matured animals for food.
Patriotism and Profit.
Under this heading we have before
us the following article from the Chi
cago Live Stock World, which em
phasizes the importance of the proc
lamation as issued by the governor
of this state:
General farmers and live stock
producers can do their country no
greater service than by seeking to
make their production reach the very
limit of possibility.
Men who send to market immature
and vcung stock that could carry
In all human proba
greater weight are wasting the coun
try's resources.
blllty they are also sacrificing profits
they might reap. The unprecedented
prices have been and are a tempta
tion to cash in while the cashing is
good; but when a man sends to mar
ket underweight and young breeding
stock he is killing the goose that lays
the golden egg. He Is making it
harder for himself and others to re
plenish teed lots and pastures.

One of the first requirements nf a complete garage is
the work bench—yon need a place for the tools and ■

rear, according to choice. Of course, you'll arrange for the
windows. Good lighting is tirst-aid to handy repair woik.
A concrete floor provides good drainage and you can

It's a year 'round necessity.

To be sure, no man can be expec
ted to go out and buy dear teed to
make 1600 and 17 00-pound steers or
350 to 400-pound lard hogs, but it is
little less than economic crime at this
time to send in half finished 1000 to
1200-pound and 150 to 180-pound
hogs.
Marketing of strictly dairy veal
calves is excusable, but every calf
that could grow into good beef should
by all means be kept.
Sending to slaughter pregnant
cows and heifers for beef should be
absolutely discontinued, at least for
the period of the war.
In our great national emergency
every man should consider how best
he can help along. The easiest way
for every owenr of live stock to "do
his bit" is to see that every animal
goes to market carrying as much
weight as it is practical to put on.
We are now drawing upon the May
and June and July supplies of beef,
pork and mutton.
Panning and live stock feeding is
a good deal of a gamble, but there
never was a time since the American
Civil War when a feeder could feel
as sure of good profit on bringing
his live stock up to normal weight.
The higher the prices for grain,
i llle more certain is the feeder of a
( profit in putting weight on immature
stock.
thousands of sheep and cattle have
been wiped out by the almost unpre
cedented severity of winter in the
West, and there is no spot on the

other there is a dearth of mature

and South, are bare. Hundreds of

surplus of young stock to put in teed
lots or turn on the pasture.
Patriotism alone ought to be suffi
cient spur to induce farmers and
feeders to mature their holdings. At
this time it seems highly probable
that such a course would not only be
highly patriotic, but handsomely pro
fitable.—Chicago Live Stock World,
Birds vs. Cats.
Editor of the Times.
I have been an interested reader
of Mr. Shepherd's letters to the girls
and boys in regard to trees and birds.
Especially do I commend him in his
stand for the song bird as this old
world would be a lonely place if
there were no song birds to brighten
it. And there should be a strict law
against killing any of the birds and
parents should be held responsible
for their children killing and robbing
their nests. But there is another
enemy that you seldom hear any
thing said about, namely the common
house cat. They are a nuisance and
should be exfrminated.
They prowl around at night and
the early hours of mojning making
the air hideous w T ith their racket and
kill and destroy countless numbers
of birds.
Our birds here nest in the
sage brush and on the ground and
are an easy prey to the prowlers.
I think there should be a license
, on a cat and owners required to keep
! them up at night or else put a price
on their heads. What do our friends
think, shall we put up bird houses
and entice the birds to come and then
let the good for nothing, germ laden,
bird eating cat destroy both old and
young?
Let us hear your opinions please.
A Bird Lover.
There is a good deal of truth In
what our correspondent says regard
ing the cats, but it cannot be denied
that the feline Is quite an important
animal on the farm and around the
house, as without them we would be
run to death by mice and other small
animals which the cat destroys. It
set%ns that there is a place for the
cat, the dog, and the birds as well,
and if all lovers of the birds will take
enough interest in them to follow
the example set by Mr. Shepherd and
erect bin houses, they will be out of
reach of the prowling cats, and the
latter can devote their attention to
keeping the mice away from the
gralnery, and from pestering the
housewife. Any other suggestions
will receive hearty welcome In our
columns.
Beware of Poisoned Grain.
From the fact that many of the
farmers of this section have used
poisoned grain for the extermination
of rabbits, squirrels and other pests,
and from the further fact that this
poisoned grain which has not been
eaten is likely to sprout and grow,
precaution should be used that stock
does not have access ta this grain.
The Pocatello Tribune tells of a
circumstance wherein twenty-one
head of horses were recently pois
oned and died at Crystal, near Poca
tello, by having fed to them hay
that had grown from wheat which
had been poisoned to kill squirrels.
The fact that poisoned wheat will
grow and carry the poison to the
heads in such quantities as to cause
the death of live stock, has not here
tofore been known to ranchmen, and
should cause them to be more care
ful In the future.
The wheat was distributed last
summer on a ranch near W. A.
Brown's place, and grew up with
other grain. It was harvested, and
just recently given to the horses. In
tlie feeding corrall were thirteen
head of horses belonging to Mr.
Brown and ten head belonging to his
neighbors, four of them coming from
the ranch where (lie poisoned wheat
was sown. Mr. Brown, who threw
the hay to the horses, slates that
some of the horses died within a few
minutes of eating the hay, and when
he went In among them to find out

Squlrrel Pelts Worth ft Cents.
County Farm Expert J. R. Shinn,
who will conduct the county squirrel
poisoning campaign next month, was
notified Wednesday by J. H. Arnold,
a taxidermist, that he would pay 6
cents each tor squirrel pelts In case
It was found the poison did not af
fect the fur.
The offer to purchase the pelts of
squirrels was a surprise to Mr. Shinn,
as he had expected It would be neces
sary to offer a reward for squirrel
tails. Up to now no reward has been
paid. He had no Idea that the squir
rels would have any commercial
value.
"Mr. Arnold says he can use the
pelts If the squirrels are skinned and
the pelts are sent to him after they
are salted," said Mr. Shinn. "If
other dealers get Into the market we
may find there are not enough squir
rels In the county to supply the de
mand."
The county had planned to ask the
chamber of commerce to aid In offer
ing rewards for killing squirrels be
cause of the damage done by the ro
dents.
It Is believed that in case war is
declared the squirrel pelts may make
