ALTHOUGH the crude and undevsloped
 elements of the great wealth guarantesd
 by our many natural resources may
 abound upon all sides, but very little
 benefits will result unless our reople CO.,
 operate in bringing their importance
 and value to the attention of capital and
 enterprise. The gold and silver that is
 still locked m the vaults of the rock
 ribbed hllls IS without value until 1t is
 wrung from nature's malrlces by the
 strong muscle of the hardy miner and
 the purifying nhlence of fire. The
 mere knowledSe that it exists in our
 hills constitutes no tangible resource
 upon which to figure our volume of
 wealth. It will neither buy our bread nor pay our debts. for We cannot say to our creditors, "Yon hill contains gold
 worth ten millions of dollars; go take your portion" It IS absolutely without value SO long ss it remains where pa.ure
 placed 1t and, so far as its present use fulness Is concerned, it might as well
 have never been created. Like crude materials of every description, its value and importance depend. solely upon its isolation fir 10 useless elements and its conversion into a condition of unincum- bered usefulness to humanity, and this result IS reached only through patient cooperative industry and the judIcious expenditure of wealth already created.
 he land of the farmer is no element of value without the labor of tilling its soil and sowing the seeds that return R multiplied harvest, and in like manner our sources of abundant water supply. our mines of precious metals and our beds of cosl and useful clay, might just Hs well not exist dnlesS we join our in- dIvidual efforts n co operative methods So bring forth thei5 virtues and add to our harvest of wealth. The recent offer of one of our most enterprisine business men to become one of twenty contributors to a local irrigating enterprise, shows 8 true progress ve l spirit, but We feel humlliated that his 1 conspicuous example meets with little or | DO encouraging response from others | equally inter, sled and financially able.
 It really looks as though our people | expect to sit down and fold their hands | and es! the bread of iileness while some | agency caus vast springs | of water to burst forth from the earth | and spread itself over the land; to plant the ssed and reap the haTves: and lay it's exhuberant product in their laps Or that spigots will spring out from the sides. from which the gold and the silver will run like water, into their ccffers.
 But thIs character of inanition cannot last long. By and by others will come and discover the pearls We have cast sside, and gather up the good for them 5 elves, leaving us only the barren waste We seem to love SD well. They will not be long in finding that we have rejected .he cap-stone of the arch ot our and the whole edilice will be lt their mercy. We are inviting lhe lhrewd and energetic people of the east md the north 10 come among us. and when they shall transform our rusted md dec Iying talents into burDished and iagzling evidences of intrinsic value, We will realize how utterly unworthy we rave been to bury them out of sight for ,theis to enjoy.

IT is known, and 1t is 8 matter of rec
 ord, tlat 6 very fine article of porcelain
 clay 0 ss mined near Tucson in the re
 mole ages when the early missionaries
 ests iished their interesting places of worship. and the material was packed upon burros to the Gulf of California and taken thence by vessel to Spain, where It was manufactured into beau tItul articles, many of which now exist iG some of the Spanish cities. The bed of kaolin from wh ch this was taken, Is about thirty miles by team or, twenty by trail from Tucson, and the ex- cavstions made in those HncIent times by the Indians, under the direction of the mission fathers, show that a vast amount O; work was accomplished, and hun dreds of thousands of tons of he clay were taken away. The old mine is an relic of the ancient industry, and it may yet be made the basis of profitable industry in this city, psrslcu- lsrly ss its product possesses qualities superior to almost every other known b0dy O. kaolin.

THE people of Arizona and New Mex leo are iustly indignant over the attempt of the Eastern press to make it appear that Gen. Miles simply followed and completed the plans of Gen. Crook ID his pursuit and capture of Geronimo. It is very we'll known. they insist, that Crooks policy was a lRggard and temporizIBg one st ali times, where ss when Miles took command he made war in a direct and relentless way, and did not pause on any account until he achieved success. There IS good reason to believe that if Crook had been left to carry on the contest, 1t would have last ed for years; and 1t Is certainly not Ian that tse man who took hold and settled it in four months should be robbed of credit to save another man from deserv- ed censure.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

especially studied the constitution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as aresult of thil

lifetime spent as nurse and physician, she
has compounded Soothing Syrup for chill

ATexas Horse Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch:
In Grayson county, five miles
from Whltesboro, thoro is a hors'
ranch containing ten Thousand
acres, on which can be found al
modern improvements, the mos
expensive and valuable, besides
800 to 1000 head of horses, princi
pally high grade Percheron's; the
remainder are thoroughbred Per
cheron stations and mares. A
largo number of fine jacks and sew
eraI hundred head of thoroughbred
cattle are also kept on the ranch.
This ranch is owned by H. B
Sanborn, probably tho wealthiest
man in this State, and it's his am
bltlon to make it eventually the
finest and most expensive thor
oughbred horse farm in the world
The ranch has been established
about eight years, and during the
entire time every outlay necessary
to its rapid advancement has been
willingly made, until the enormous
amount of over 100000 has been
spent upon it. The dwellings,
barns, fences, in fact everything
on the place, have been finished
with a view to making 1t magni'
ficont country residence, and Mr..
Sanborn, who at present resides in
Houston, intends making 1t his flu.
ture home.
Enclosures of this size are gen.
orally regarded as a nuisance in O
thicllly settled farming country
such as Grayson, but such is not
the case in this lntance, as Mr.
Sanborn purchases large quantities
of food stuffs from the people
around him, always paying the
highest market price.
He regards his neighbors as
friends, and they consider him as
a neighbor, and not as an intruder
Mr.. Sanborn spends great deal
of time on his horse farm, and al
ways makes it pleasant for those
visiting him, whether they come
on business or merely 10 look ovel
the great establishment. Besides
this ranch, Mr.. Sanborn owns 6
half interest IN a $4,000 acres cat
tic ranch situated in the Pan Han
die and n $1,000 acre ranch in Clay
county-which he intends convert
ing into grain field. He was orig
inally farmer, and does not desire
10. be known as q seattle king :
nor does he assume the airs of for

some of the poison extracted IRON
the fangs OF the snake. In others
they apply.to the wound bits Of
the dried body OF a poisonous liz
ard which is found IN the country
The snakes of Namqua Land whose

Spring Pigs.
spring ElBSs
Texas Farm and Ranch.
NV 7 sHrPpEpn

For our own use, VIC do not
care for pigs that are extra large
and tat. Hogs that will dress from
one hundred and fifty to two hun.
dred pounds make the best meat
for family use, provided, of course,
it is young and tender.
1t is possible for tho farmer to
have this kind of meat, and he can
if he will take the necessary pains.
Take any OF the improved breeds
of hogs; have the pigs como in
March or April, feed well and
push along so as to receive rs good
Q growth as possible, and by
Christmas they will give you as
good pork as you can secure.
Care, of course, should be taken to
see that good shelter is given at
barrening, as we sometimes have
cold disagreeable rains and the
pigs are liable TO get chilled. A
little protection given at this time
may save them from loss.
1t pays to feed the pigs through
the SOW; give the sow plenty of
Stops, and if you have 1t, allow
her the run of the clover pasture.
Glover is ono of the very best
green foods we have for sows and
stock hogs. If you have an
orchard seeded down to clover,
you havsione of the best pastures
you can have for young or old
pigs:
Pigs should never be allowed to
stop growing. While they will
make most of their living from the
pastures, yet it will pay to give a
feed Of grain or slop at least once
every day. Early maturity, Sc
cured by a rapid growth, is what
is mostly desired with pigs, and
sufficient food should be given
to secure this. The males
shonld be,castrated atfrom two to
six weeks ofage. There is moth
| ing gained by delay. Select n
rather cool day; and if properly
done there is no danger of loss.
The pigs shoulG-havo a separate
place to eat as soon as they arc old
enough, which is generally when
they are about four weeks old. Up
to this time we must secure growth
by feeding the sow. After they
begin to eat they will need 10 be
fed slop, or chopped barley, or
corn meal we'll soaked before teed-
ing. If they have plenty of clover
pasture, very little gram will be
necessary until in the fall. They
can make nearly if not. quito all of
their growth In the pasture, with
feed or go day, during the sum-
mer, and twice each day in the
fall, and be in q first-class condi-
ton to butcher by the first of De-
cember. Generally we feed en-
tirely too much corn. l like to
finish off with corn, but to secure
growth, STOP, roots and grass are
much moro economical.

Crushing and Cutting Corn FOd-
der

l find by practical experience
that corn fodder is moro than
doubled in value by crushing and
cutting it. 1 use a cutter that
brushes before cutting, and that
cuts one-fourth of an inch long
rendering it all palatable for all
kinds of stock, and eaten readily
without waste. And for me, a
pound OF stalks that have been
harvested at the proper time, and
we'll cured, is equal to 4 pound OF
the best hay. This may seem to
many little overdrawn. Before
had learned by experience, II
would have appeared to me alb
surd. A vast amount OF stalks are
thrown away, SO to speak, by be-
ing thrown out into barn yards
and fields in the foddering OF stock
and in the majority OF eases but
very little benefit is secured from
the practice. The leaves and
husks are eaten, and what l have
found to. be better, the stalks, arc
wholly lost as food.
