Many inquiries have come to The Times-Herald respecting this law and the advice given was that it they placed their butter in a store for sale, accord ing to a recent reDort published in the Redmond paper which pur ported to quote a deputy inspec tor, they should have printed wrappers. But those who fur nish butter to private customers were advised not to have them printed. The Times-Herald is glad to note this matter and coming from such authority it may be taken as correct. The farmers who make but little butter should not be compelled to go to the ad ditional expense of having print ed wrappers. A Glad Home Going. i Contributed Kev. Harlan C.

This announcement has done more toward the immediate activities in the development of this coun try than any other thing. It would naturally require a little point ami with such rich terri tory surrounding it and the na tural advantages of resources, such as the key to the irrigation project that must come with the advancement of the country; the banking houses and prospects for water and sewer; the excellent school facilities, etc , Hums is the natural place for the family home. The schools are to be given Growing Colts Need Plenty of Portein The chief need of colts' feed is protein and mineral mutter or ash, sny the 0. A C. Animal Husban dry officers. It is therefore especially important that these nutrients be supplied in the proper quantites. On an average the j proper nutritive ration for grow ling horses will be about one to 'five or one to six; that is, the ! ration will need to contain from five to six parts of carbohydrates, or their equivalent, to one part I of protein. Of the common feeds best adapted to produce such rations ! may be mentioned the legumin ous hays, such as alfalfa, clover, and vetch and among the grain, oats und bran are the best. The native pasture grasses when thrifty will usually supply about the proper nutrients for the growing horse. Among the feeds which are deficient in protien and mineral matter, and therefore unsatisfac tory for growing horses, may be mentioned timothy hay, cheat hay, corn and barley. When any of these feeds are used for young horses a liberal amount of other feeds containing large quantities of protein and mineral matter should be supplied. A great many people make a mistake by not supplying the young horses with a liberal enough ration, especially during the first year.

Tonawama tomorrow nijfht. ea mat urown entered into an agreement with the appropria tions committee to use the fund in the Pacific Livestock company case and other cases only if the state land board should consider it advisable to do so. The agreement is of no effect in a legal sense, it is contended, ana il is believed that in .case Attorney General Brown finds that he has a good chance to re cover the lands to the state he will continue the prosecutiou, even if the board should decide that they should be dismissed. Attorney General Brown was not anxious to discuss the case, although he admitted that one member of the state land board had intimated to him that the board might decide to not let him spend any of the $10,000 fund in the ease againgt the Pacific Livestock company. He would not say which one of the three Governor Withycombe declined to take the responsibility and de clared that the whole board would have to vote on the pro position. A vote was taken and all three members voted in favor of dismissing the suit. Attorney General Brown learn ed a few minutes later what had been done and hurried over to Governor Withycombe's office, where he entered a strong pro test, declaring that he had not had time to investigate the case fully and did not know enough about it to warrant a recommen dation for its dismissal. Thereupon Governor Withy come declared that the meeting just held was merely informal and of no effect.and that Brown should continue his investigation of the suit and report in due time if there was evidence suffi cient to warrant its continuance. He is still engaged in making this investigated. Breakfast 5:30 to Dinner 1 1:30 to 2 NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS Mac's Restaurant & Bakery Located in the new Levens Building BURNS, OREGON W. R.
