Care of Young Animals.

Extremes are never profitable in stock growing. Many colts that should make line horses are spoiled, Some are nam. pered, groomed and kept blanketed in close stalls until they are ruined for want of exercise. Such can never make fully developed horses with rugged con. stitutions and stamina, They make about as good horses for work as dudes would make men for rail splitters. On the ether hand the half starved colt or calf exposed to the storms of winter will never make we'll developed animal. But if it gets through with a sound con- stitution it will be better animal than the pampered one. With the colt a me dium course is best. They should have abundant air and exercise with bons and muscle producing food rather than that which is fattening.

Salt for Dairy Cows.

Many dairymen neglect to give salt to their cows, considering it aluxury and of no importance as food, Perhaps it is not a food in the legitimate sense of the word. Yet it is most valuable constituent of foods for milk. The gas tric juices of the cows stomach, of which a great amount is elaborated, hydrochlo- ric acid is an important constituent of, and can only be obtained from, salt. A milk COW entirely deprived of salt can not digest her food. All the other di- gestive fluids of the system contain salt or one of its constituents. Saltis almost as necessary to all herbiverous animals, as food proper.

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have a vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be im- ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine. Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the milt, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molssses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer. chants of Arizona.
 The co6perative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked we'll in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out. growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of g vigilant watchfulnest over the management, and by united ef fort staple production may be intro. duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after tht saccharine matter is extracted iron sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry etc., and nothing that comes from ths soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may bt carried on by the least intelligent labor Indians, Mexicans, children may all bt employed in transplantins the beets ant gathering the crop. Only the mill re quires intelligent labor. Sugar industries are being started il , many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharin, , products than Arizona, and an effort ol the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
