Penned, prisoned, held between walla of

But I am in Idaho. An April gala sighs
and whistles and sings musically about
the corners of the tent. The fly rises and
falls tugging at Its guys and flapping, with
sharp bans note, the major chords In tha

this vast plane of earth, on Its way from
the waves of the Bruneau hills to tha
now clothed peaks of the Caribou. From

tha Caribou hills, a range of the Rockies

years later. Its value hu been appraised
at not less than $0 and up to $226 per aero
for each and every acre of this 240,000 acre
tract. "Archie" Milner Is well known at
Charles City, la. A cousin of his lives here
now, and this effort has added Just a little
better than 1000,000 to his already $1,000,000
wealth. Buhl, a Pennsylvania capitalist of
note, has added $2,260,000 to his "needle's
eye" handicap; a city has been built, or
chards are in bloom, and will bear this
year, and happy, contented, prosperous
homes have driven the lean coyote and the
call of the jackal to the for away can
yons of the green and white hills.
I want you to realize what this means.
Here are 372 square miles of desert land;
miles and miles, hundreds of miles of
rolling sage brush; with not one single
vestige of life; not a single blade of green
grass, not anything but the leaping grey
of the coyote; melting Into the green grey
of the sage brush; the cry of a hungry
Jackal; a moving sagetick, the call of a
meadow lark, hastening on its way to
people and life and crumbs; for the rest;
silence, amidst which the call of a human
voice sounds as the boom of a cannon; so
unusual Is It, sky, air. earth and silence.
Almost 400 miles of It, a fair, grey plain,
stretching from mountains to mountains,
a paradise In embryo, lying here with the
soft zephyrs of southern Idaho sweeping
over It since prlmum tempus first began.
This Is what Frank Buhl found here
ven years ago, next August, when he
first rode over it on the back of a pinto
pony, musing at the waste and dreaming
his great dream. It was what "Archie"
Milner had known for years and years.
And to Milner It presented The Possibility,

THI3 IS THE
HE milk supply of the oauutry
naa always been an important
factor in the feeding of ur
People, though it has only been
ln recent years that this prod
uot has commanded nr iui -t.
tentlon from all classes of consumers and
producers. Formerly the family cow had
a plac. in almost every home. The vil
lager, tha townsman and even the city man
of means prided himself In keeping the
family cow and providing his family with
real milk and orcam. This was esteemed
half the living with thes. people.
Conditions have changed greatly within
the last dozen years with families and the
family cow. No longer do w. see th. town
herd being gathered up and driven out to
the suburbs of th. city or large town to
paature. The milk supply has settled down
to a business all over tha country. The
town and city dairyman have taken the
business that the family cow formerly waa
employed to carry on. Large dairy herds
are kept close to the town and from the,
and the shlpped-ln product the milk supply
for the people Is provided, delivered from
the milk wagon once a day to the home at
ao much per quart. Thl method has been
regarded as a great convenience, though
not always as satisfactory in quality as
that which the family cow was in the
habit of supplying.
New Habits of Living.
The farm Idea of the old-time towns
people has been educated out of them, and
their posterity are coming In under new
habits of living. Th. family coW. the family
driving horaa, the few poultry kept for
gg. the garden, the fruit on the back part
of the town lot. are all gone, because It is
too countryfled to have such things. They
ar. no longer recognized as luxuries, it is
batter taste to uu doctored-up milk, cold
torag. eggs and th. stale and long dis
tance XruiU. the. automobile, than not to
adher. to preaant-duy customs. These
things seem to be the Inevitable and ha
who will, otherwise must move to the farm.
The milk cow has suffered an abuse and
a digeneracy in her kind, by having any
thing in the Una of aha cattle added u th.
dairy cow stock of the town and city, pick
ups, culls shipped Into the central stock
yards. Jut to get rid of them. In th.
geikeiul dairy buUneaa of the country, there
has recently been a reform in sentiment,
which aeems to have struck th foot hills
of anoeumlun In dairy cow quality. Thar,
now seems to be a prawaJllng opinion among
dairymen, perilous familiar with oowa, that
for tli. claaa of cow. to be ued toe nilik
purposes, there must be mora attention
paid to quality and quantity of nfoduation.

This association is largely composed- of

on th. farm and ln the hands of Bheir

are authenticated by the dairy department
of the Nebraska Stat, university, which
gives them a standing with tholr breed as
