How to Measure HaY.

The kind of hay has much to do with
the weight in the stack, Timothy, being
heavy, takes about 500 cubic feet for
the ton, mixed hay about 600 feet, clover
700 to $50 feet, and red top hay as much
as 500 feet, To get the cubic feet in a
round stack, take one-third of the girth,
which will give the diameter, square

present one was beneath any except
the greenest of reporters.
A certain advertise
prima donna had become involved in
dispute with her manager over the
question of wearing tights in the new
opera bouffe "Semiramis," and told the
reporters that the first night of the
opera would show the public which
side had triumphed,
Accordingly, the house was packed,
and Ferris was sent by the Planet to
witness the outcome of the struggle
He watched the Amazon guard listless-
" in the opening chorus. He was anX-
Gus for the appearance of the prima
donna, and scarcely noticed the rough
maidens in tinfoil armor, until his eyes
CHANGED to rest on the girl next to the
front rank leader.
She had a different look from her as
sociates, lacking something of their
professional air. and singing as if she
enjoyed it. The freshness and native
grace of the girl attracted Ferris,
Since boyhood, he had knocked about
the world, and it was seldom that a
new face interested him. but tonight
he found himself following this
coryphte with his eyes throughout the
act, becoming so much absorbed that
he nearly forgot why he had been sent
to the theater.
Next day the face of the chorus girl,
and its utter incongruity with the SUR
roundings, came to to his mind; and
the evening found him once more at
the theater where "Semiramis" was
playing.
From fellow reporter he learned
that the girls name was Marguerite
Gray, and that she carried about with
her mother who might have played
the role of the dragon in "Siegfried. :"
Ferris had little trouble in getting be-
hind the scenes and, thanks to the
good offices of the manager (who was
EXCEPTIONALLY grateful to him for the
puff his opera had received in the
Planet), he was enabled to meet his
unknown. She was about to leave the
theater, dressed in the quietest of cos
tunes, and accompanied by the afore,
said mother, who would have put
Medusa to the blush for stoniness of
manner.
Like q true diplomat Ferris devoted
himself to the worthy Gorgon, recall
ing that her late husband had once
helped him out of a bad scrape-had, in
fact, stood by him like an elder broth
err. Ferris conveyed the information
that he had long meant to look the
mother up to ask after his old friend,
and ended by obtaining permission to
call at her fiat next day.
Next day he went to Mrs, Gray's
little Harlem fat, and, having made
inquiries that morning. was able to
talk with a fair degree of intelligence
on the subject of the dear departed
Gray. In fact, so kindly did he speak
of his putative dead friend that the
widows heart was won over, and he
was warmly invited to call often

PARSIMONY IN FEEDING.
There Is Such Thing as Shoddy in Food
AS Well as In Cloth.

AS Well as In Cloth.
The first essential thing in stock
raising is to provide an abundance of
frst-class foods of sufficient variety, and
the next thing in impor lance is judi
cious use of it. Animals may be in
jured by overlooking as well as by
starving. Too much food is especially
dangerous if the animals are confined
too strictly TO single article of diet or
one-sided food An article like corn
is almost wholly composed of starch or
carbon and another product may con-
tain too large proportion of nitrogen
or phosphate, while a proper combina-
ton of these would prove profita BILE
as a balanced ration, requiring less
amount of product to secure the same
result.
A dairyman of experience says: Par
simony is one, and very mean thing,
and economy is another, most excel
lent thing, They are widely different,
yet it is common for them to be con-
founded and mistaken for one another.

There is much talk in the papers and

trying to cheaper production one may
injure the product and seriously impair

 Special correspondence Of THE REPUBLICAN.
 FLORENCE, Ariz., Nov. 2.-The people have at last awakened to the fact that Pinal county cannot maintain her pres ent rate of speed without eventually stranding her good name and credit OF the rocks of corruption. A clean ad- ministration of county affairs is the cry and watchword of the taxpayers and respected citizens during the present campaign and they are in fair way to receive it. Party lines have been knocked in the head except for the ter ritorial ticket which is overwhelmingly Murphy and Doran. Herndon and Campbell are entirely in the soup, while O'Neill and Woy are au unknown quantity. Tom Davis has complete walkover. which every Democrat is forced to acknowledge. The main county fight will be for the offices of district attorney and sheriff.

By the Associated Press.
 SALT LAKE, Nov. 3.-Tonlght practi- cally closes one of the warmest politi- cal contests ever waged in Utah. Party lines have been fought largely on the tariff question as there was not much difference between the parties on silver.
 Church influence appears to be sig ni6cant factor In the contest and it is conceded that the successful ticket will have to carry majority of the Nor mon church vote. It is conceded by the best political authority on both sides that the result in Utah will eventually control the destinies of from six to ten United States senators. This is claimed on the theory that the Nor mons hold the balance of power in Idaho, Wyoming. Nevada and Arizona.

Line City. Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 NoGALEs, Nov. 3.-It seemed to- night as if the entire population had turned out to listen to the campaign oratory of the Republican candidates. Governor Murphy received the warmest and most enthusiastic welcome of the trip. Speeches were made by General W. Williams, candidate for district at- torney, Hon. Jim Doran and by Gov ernor Murphy.
 The governors talk upon statehood and his modest yet effective account of what he had done and hoped to do in it's behalf was vociferously applauded. Governor Murphy, by his genial, kind ly, social manner, has renewed his old time popularity here and has caught the town.

ardent advocates of statehood in Ari- zona.
 Upon being asked by the reporter if he was in favor of statehood, MT. Mur- phy said:
 1T am, decidedly"
 Do you think the election of Mir. Murphy will jeopardize our chances for statehood ?"
 "I do not. On the contrary I think the election of the Republican ticket in Arizona will promote her chances. At our late municipal election, when the bill for the admission of Arizona was pending in the senate territorial commit tee, 1 suggested that we allow that election to go Democratic with a view to use that as leverage upon the committee to secure a prompt and favorable report, thinking, as 1 did, that it would have some influence. Now, however, the conditions are diff ferent. National questions of great mo- ment are to be decided at this election. and in my opinion it is important that Arizona shall be on the right side of these questions.
 "Then as an advocate of statehood you think we should support the Re publican ticket?"
 1T do. The Democratic congress has had whole year to admit Arizona if so disposed. I believe from all that have been able to learn that the silver ques- tion has had as much to do, if not more, in preventing favorable action on the admission bill by the senate committee than anything else. The question is not, in certain sense, party question. AS rule the eastern senators of both parties are opposed to the free coinage of silver and the western senators are in favor of it. I believe that the oppo- sition of the eastern Democratic gold senators to the admission of Arizona has been a more potent influence than any other"
Arizona republican., 1894-11-04

What opportunities have you had,
 MT. Murphy, to observe the attitude of congress on this subject? ?"
 ''In May last I went to Washington for the purpose of ascertaining what, if anything, could be done in the interest of statehood and discussed the question with men of both parties in both houses. It is well known fact that the ad- ministration is opposed to the free coin age of silver, and that on that question the Democratic members of the senate have agreed with the administration. 7"
 Ut has been reported. Mir. Murphy, that you said that Senator Hill said to you that the Democratic party could not afford to jeopardize their control of the senate by the admission of Arizona. Did MT. Hill make any suggestion of that kind ?"
 ''No. 1 had an interview with Sena- tor Hill, who was chairman of the sub- committee, before which the bill was then pending, with the view of ascer- taining whether, in his opinion, there was any chance for statehood at that session of congress. Senator Hill did not even intimate that politics entered lubO tuc COuclucidIIOu Ol buo QucsGlOu of our admission. He said in su bstance that there was no prospect of admission at that session."
 "You know in general way, MT. Murphy, of the charges of extravaganza against Governor Murphy in the matter of selling our bonds."
 II understand that there were sold at par two million dollars of bonds of which one and half millions were delivered, and that the total sx- pense of the loan commission in ne- gotiating these bonds, including the engraving three times and procuring some necessary additional congressional legislation, and funding the debt for which they were issued, amounting to about one and fourth per cent of the amount sold. I have had considerable

I was going to vote for Governor Murphy. that's a different matter. 1 am voting for him for several reasons, but none of them because he is Re publican. 1 believe in the first place that to vote for him at this time is the duty of every man in Arizona who cares more for Arizona and prosperity than politics, and am no politician. His wider acquaintance with men and pub lie matters certainly make him a more valuable representative for the territory than Mr. Herndon. When 1 was in California last summer I met many prominent men, politicians and others. They all knew Governor Murphy and spoke highly of him. The California delegation in congress can be of great service to Arizona and 1t is advan- tageous to the territory to have a dele gate W ho stands well with them.
 But Governor Murphy's acquaint- ance extends not only in the direction of California, but is almost equally great and useful among eastern men of influence. Every voter who wants statehood at the earliest possible mo- ment ought, think, support MT. Murphy. Then again 1 like him per sonally and have known him intimately for the past five years, but the reason I intend to support him is not because of my friendship for him, but on patriotic and business grounds"
 Col. Jas. T. Simms was next seen. "I am a Democrat" said he, "but within the last twenty -four hours I've made up my mind to vote for Governor Murphy. I will do it because I want early statehood It isn't politics. I never got any advantage out of poli- tics, but this is personal affair. I believe it will pay me and every other man in Arizona to vote for MT. Mur- phy."
