Selling Milk.

The price paid for all milk delivered
at all cheese factories as well cream
cries should be determined by the per
cent. of the fat in the milk.
The Babcock Test is the most re-
liable and the fairest way of determin-
ing the value Of milk, although there
are still many cheese factories in this
vicinity where the old system of pool
ing the milk is still in vogue.
The Babcock Test has many OPP
ponents, and its fairness is often gues-
toned, but generally by persons who
are not strictly honest in their inten-
tions, or who take poor grade Of
milk to the factory; and as a result
get poor prices; but it can be truly
said that they have a decided advan-
tage over their neighbors who take a
better quality of milk and get so much
better prices. The value of cheese is
determined largely by the per cent of
fat contained in the milk from which
the cheese has been made.
The average price paid for cheese of
different grades In the New York mar
ket for one year has been: Skim milk
cheese, to 2 cts. per h.; partly
skinned, according to quality, 81 to 81
cts; full cream 81 to IL cts.
The milk delivered at certain
cheese factory, where every patron
should, like Caesars wife, have been
above reproach, was recently tested
and found to vary from 25 to As per
cent fat. Let us take this as an illus
tration. If the men who took the 25
milk and the As milk took equal
quantities the, average would be 3.5.
One hundred pounds of 35 milk
would probably make 90 pounds of
cheese. Had the price above referred
to been obtained, the milk would have
been worth 96 cents per hundred, not
counting cost of making cheese, if
paid by the oil test the 2.5 milk would
have been worth 6S.5 cents per hun
bred, the As milk 1913 3 cents per hun
cred. Taking the same scale of prices
If the 2.5 milk had been made into
cheese separate it would have been
worth but $40 cents per hundred;
while the AS milk would have been
worth $l.37 per hundred. Had the
milk been pooled, as is usual the case
with cheese factories, each mans milk
would hayed Melted him the same
price. 1t will thus be seen that the
dairyman should not only Gull out the
poor cows from his herd but that it is
to his advantage to induce his neigh.
bors to do likewise. A. p. JONES.

FAREWELL.

BY verbal request of personal
friend of Senator cI.aurin's, we grant
ed him another week in which to an
swer our questions. He has failed to
do so, which signifies one Of two things.
He either means to treat us with silent
contempt, or he is a candidate for
the U. S. Senate. Taking either view
of the matter, we feel that we are alb
solved from all allegiance to him as a
I candidate for Governor, and prompted
alone by those feelings born of self re-
spect, and adherence to principles and
worthy friends, we are forced, not
without regret, to part company with
the gentleman. We say regret and we
mean it, for it is a sad spectacle to see
a man so fresh from the people, so
given over to the wiles of the artful
pollution, as to ostensibly seek one Of.
| fee, that of Governor of great State,
and that his native heath, merely as a
stepping stone to another position. 1t
| is not true to manliness, to the confid-
ing people. or to that open warfare
due to honorable adversaIies. AS a
public journalist, we feel we have a
right to interogate public men. in
courteous language on public subjects,
upon which all candidates should be
understood, and especially where we
are supporting them, and their pros
pective course will antagonize our prin-
ciples and friends who advocate them
Had Senator McLaurin answered US he
| was not candidate for the U. 5. SEN
ate, and that he would not antagonize
John M. Stone for that position, how
ever much we might have been at va
rance on the other points in our cate
chism, we would not have deemed
such facts cause for severance. We
| presume Senator McLaurin can get
along without the support of the
TIMES, hut it will be at the expense of
/ sacrifice Of those lofty conceptions
of that public political purity, which
has ever characterized our greatest
statesmen. We cannot subscribe to
4 the doctrines Of John j. ingalls,, that
..the Decalogue has no place in politics, y
and that purity in public men is an cir
ridescent dream" 1t shall be our aim
as long as we WELD an editorial pen,
though it may be 'fo-lorn hope" to
| adhere to the highest standard OF
| public probity. The hope of men, par
ties and free institutions. must be in
the ability, integ rity, purity and open
candor, Of our public men who are TO
shape our public polity.

The dispatches of the week have contained the story of the discovery of the long lost Frenchman mine, with ore enough on the dump to keep a ten stamp mill running for three years with ore worth S5,OOO a ton; old and decayed camp equip ments, tents tools, etc., supposed to have been the property O. the murdered Frenchmen, have, as Is usual the case on investigation, proved to be a myth.
 Parties who have visited the spot since the news went torth' found on the mine a location two years old, made by Ramon Garcea and E. B. Waggy. Several years ago the above gentlemen started in to develope this property, but it proved worthless and was aband- oned.
 This is the true history of the mine that has created so much ex- citement. The mine is located in the mountains about 25 miles north, slightly westerly of Aztec, in this county.
 The Frenchman and the Pegleg mines never had any real existence is the opinion of some of our most substantial citizens, and the sooner amateur" miners give up the idea that such really do exist, except in the fertile and imaginative brain of few notorious liars and yarn spinners, the Colorado desert will not be the scene of so many tragic deaths annually of thirst. If a tenderfoot will stop and recall the many deaths that have occurred or on the desert during the past few years, he will find that nearly al who have perished of thirs belong to the tenderfoot class o miners.
 The old pioneers, as rule know the desert as we'll as the reputation of the men who claimed that the. had discovered those fabulousl, rich mines and were only prevent ed from working the same by death
 The man Pegleg was well-knowr in Yuma previous to his death an( many of our citizens still remem Der him well. He is spoken of b, them as being unreliable and on of the biggest liars on the Pacifi Coast during his time and tn originator of the Frenchman min stood second on the list.
