FARM ANIMALS.
Statistical Report Of Comparative Num-

Statistical Report Of Comparative Num-
beers and Values.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The report of
the statistician upon comparative num-
beers and values of farm animals, based
on returns of January, 1898, is nearly
ready for publication. 1t shows an
increase of horses, .mules and sheep, no
material change in the number of
mich cows, a decrease in oxen and
other cattle. and a very heavy reduc-
ton in the number of swine. The es-
timated present numbers of domestic
animals on farms, ranches and the
public range are as follows: Horses
10, 206, sOs: mules, 1881, 1873: cows, 49,
424, OS7; other cattle, So, y54, 1876; sheep,
~. 253, 55S; swine, 46,094, S07.
The increase in mules is very slight.
The apparent increase in sheep exceeds
2,OOO, 900, a continuation of the move
ment which commenced in 1889, by
which numbers have increased nearly
5000. 900 in four years. In the case of
swine there was small pig crop last
spring, and the late advance in pork
products has caused the Strengthening
of some portion of the stock of mature
animals. AS the average age now at
tanned by these animals is less than ::
year, there is liability of extreme
fiuckuation in numbers which is posi-
BILE of no other species.
Average values have declined as to
horses and mules, advanced as the cat
tie of all kinds, a greater gain appears
in the value of sheep, and very large
advance is seen in swine, amounting to
50 per cent and progressive since the
returns were made. The average value
of horses is s61.22; of mules, s7O.6s; of
cows, s21.75; of other cattle, SIS. "a; of
sheep, 81. sc, and of swine, $6.41. the

LESSON Il.
Great Physiological and Moral
Truths
Demonstrated to the Satisfaction of
Court and Jury by Means of
Natural objects.

The dental examination begun In dis.
trict court day before yesterday in con-
nection with the case of the Tenn
pc Land and Improvement COM
uany VS. Daggs Bros. was con-
tinued yesterday with the purpose
and intent to impeach Frank Babcock
the witness for the plaintiff who swore
that he saw Daggs' sheep laying waste
the land in litigation by pulling up
punches OF alfalfa by the roots. Tes.
timony was adduced to show that Mr..
Gabcock was a gentleman of lurid ina
gination and unreliable uLterance.
To clinch this Mr.. w. A. Daggs was
put on the stand and procession OF
gunny sacks with mysterious contents
was also introduced. The first sack
opened contained sleeps head. Mr..
Daggs was directed by Physiological
superior maxillary and count the in
cisors CANNES, molars, bicuspids and
whatever other objects of a dental
character he might discover. Mr..
Daggs explored the cavity and reported
to the court that he had been unable to
find upper teeth in paying quantities.
He was asked in what respect the
superior maxillary process Of the
deceased sheep differed from the
same member in other sheep with
which he had come in y con-
tact during many years of intimate ac-
quaintance with sheep.
Mr. .Daggs replied that there was mo-
notonous similitude. 1t was thus clear
Iy and legally established that sheep
is devoid OF upper teeth.
The next gunnysack was opened and
a sprig OF alfalfa removed. The root,
which Mr.. Daggs said was of an aver
age size, was about eighteen inches
long and supplemented by numerous
smaller ones, rendering it's removal
from the soil by the pulling process, an
unsuccessful and breaking task for
a muscular man. What, then, could
be expected OF a sheep, with imperfect
dental accommodations?
1t was established to the satisfaction
OF every body that Mr.. Babcock had
born testimony to an occurrence which
could not possibly have taken place.
This closed the evidence in the case,
which was submitted to the jury, which
retired to admire the vIvidness of Mr..
Babcock's d-painting and other IN.

TITLES SECURED
To the Valuable Reser-

Located by the Hudson
(. Company.
Notices Recorded in Three
Counties Yesterday.
Additional Information Concerning
the Greatest irrigation Scheme
In Existence.

Notices OF locations OF canals, reser-
vols, etc., were filed yesterday by the
Hudson Reservoir and Canal Company
and such formal steps as were necessary
we're taken to acquire title to such
sites. Notices were simultaneously
filed in Gila county and copies sent to
Yuma county. On their return they
will be recorded in the Office Of the ter
ritorial secretary under provisions Of
the act passed at the recent session OF
the legislature.
The REPUBLICAN, published recently
an outline of the gigantic irrigation pro.
ject of this company. Reports of en-
gineers have since been received and
have furnished additional and slightly
corrected information which has been
embodied in the notices above men

of the Verde at point marked by q
monp eat designated as "a X" this
dam for purposes OF description will be
referred to IS diversion dam. An
other will be constructed six miles
above the mouth Of Cotton wood Greek.
An immense storage reservoir will be
built at box canyon where a mont
ment has been erected and through
which the Salt river flows out OF Tonic
Basin. The bed OF the river is also
adopted as canal from the
storage reservoir down to tie d.
version dam. The bed Will be
Strengthened and narrowed where
canals will be taken out on both the
north and south sides. From the north
side it will be conducted to the western
boundary OF Msricopa county and from
the south side in the most direct route
to irrigate the greatest territory to
Yuma by he way OF old Maricopa. A
careful estimate of the tie territory
covered places it at 10000 acres and
the length OF canals and lnterals at 500
miles.
A corps OF engineers is now engaged
in surveying the Box CANON and run
ming the contour lines of he reservoir.
The survey of the river BED along the
part OF 1t adopted is now neariy finish
ed. On May 3, two more corps OF enSi-
neers will be sent out, in fact they are
now nearly ready to leave and two days
later Judge Hendershott will follow to
make personal inspection Of the work
completed. The two latter corps OF
surveyors will be confined to the canals
from the point of diversion. This work
will be finished abou5 August and one
month later the actual construction
will begin. The contracts for the canals
will be let in 5.mile sections so that the
whole work may be completed almost
simultaneously. 1t is estimated that
the system will be ready for the distrl-
button OF water within year and q
hall after September l, OF this year.
