Shriukage of Milk.

J. N. Muncey says in the Farmers Re
cieu: 1t may be of interest to those who
patronize creameries by selling the milk
to know something of the shrinkagc that
may be expected. The majority of the
time have not weighed the milk before
it was taken to the creamery and can
weights:

November 5000 1902 135 63
December. .......1 $50 1905 125 06
The milk in October and November
was sent in three cans. When weighed
at home each can was weighed separately
and no account taken of the three
fourths OF one half pounds. When
weighed at the creamery but one weight
made of the entire milk each day. In
December presume the loss was due to
the milk freezing in the can cover. The
milk upon arrival was warmed to about
seventy degrees, and the cream separated
by centrifugal force. The skim milk re-
turned each day has arrived at our place
in good shape We live about four miles
from the creamery. The time required
to carry load of milk, say six miles, in
winter is SO short that cans holding 100
!. to 200 pounds, even though, not jacket
]. ed. will not freeze when the thcrmometer
is twenty to thirty degrees below, as it
has been at times here | write this be-
cause so many questions have been. asked
about hauling milk in winter. The milk
was carried but once a day, the night 8
milk being held until morning and the
mornings milk mixed with it.

crop of corn. then a crop of wheat, then
back to clover in two years, and find
this as long as clover should stand to be

surplus corn, hay, etc. l stack the straw
and feed around the stack. Toward
spring l throw it down, so the stock can
tramp it down. In this condition it
rots much faster, and is ready to- haul
out sooner. This manure 1 spread in
the poorest places when I have leisure
and it is good hauling. BY doing this
l keep nearly everything on the farm ex-

SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.

The San Francisco Chronicle has the following in regard co Riel, the Canadian half-breed Indian:
 "Louis Riel, the half-breed, has been sentenced to be hanged on the 18th of next month. There can be no question of the justness of the sentence. What ever Riel might have been eight yearu ago, he is sane now. And certainly his offense which cost the lives of large number of persons, was moro henious than the ohense of the murderer, who only takes one life. In strict justice, Riel should pay the forfeit of his crime on the gallows. His execution would teach unruly spirits that bloody rebellion, if it be unsuccessful, involves the supreme punishment for rebels. All the same, it is not likely that Riel will be hanged. It is not the fashion nowadays to hang rebels. We hanged nobody after our rebellion except the 6end Wirtz, who had teed jaiior at Ande, sonville, and the miscreants who had been accomplices in the murder of Lincoln. Jeff Davis life was clearly forfeit, bC. no person of auy authority even suggested tha: VIC ought to take it. The stalwart common sense and humane feeling of the American people could not have suffered such Q proceeding Neither did the English hang Arabi when he fell into their hands though quite number of Egyptians thought it was the best use to which he could be put. In the closing days of the Indian mutiny qute number of natives were summarily put to death by drum head court-martial, some of them by such cruel and unusual methods as blowing from the mouth of canon. But the executions are generally accounted a stain on British civilization. No candid his torian tries to justify them. Even Louis Napoleon contented himself with exiling the would--be rebels who rose up during his reign"

MINING OUTLOOK.

Prescott Is surrounded by an unequa
 ed mineral belt which produces ues, !,
 all the classes of precious metals: t-'t For many years miners have grappled
 with barriers discouraging beyond meas
 ure. High prices for labor, food and transportation have eaten up all revenue, and, as a general thing, left the mine owner poor, when in almost any other country, with similar ore, they would have become bonanza kings, the equals in wealth of Mackey, Fair and other mon jed men of California and Nevada. Ores upon the surface of the earth which were rich and free from sulphure. and other rebellious substances have been worked to considerable success, but 80 soon as water was reached the fr-c ore changed In character, so that the ordi- nary process of working was a useless expenditure of time and money.
 Then it was that improved and mod ern machinery was required together with cheaper labor, living and transpor- tation.
 In the absence of these essential ne cessities good mines were closed, and to the present time remain idle, and in many instances with thousands of tons of low grade ore upon the dumps waiting for the iron highway. when . transfor- nation would take place.
 Among some of the rich properties that have been idle, We recall the Sser- ling. now about to begin operations after a rest of l2 years Again we have orer in the Agua Fria district the celebratel Silver Belt mine, owned by D. c. Thorne, which has, at the least estimate, SsO0,- GOO of low grade ore upon the dump, waiting for capital to take hold and work it upon an economical basis. This prop erty alone is sufficient if handled prop erly to give business upon which good sized town might subsis..
 Outside the Belt, which has produced 50 largely in high-grade ore, we have in numerable ledges only awaiting capital to properly handle them and the compile tion of our branch road whereby cheap and quick transportation may be secured.
