sweet Potatoes - Stock Food


The department Of agriculture has
issued . bulletin treating Of sweet po.
tatoes and their uses. Only In local.
ties favored with transportation facili.
ties and good markets is the sweet-po-
tatO . sale crop. But rs food for
stock the department thinks it should
be extensively grown in regions
adapted to it. The roots have been
successfully fed to hogs, cattle and
horses For cattle and horses it is bet
ter to slice the roots. OF all classes Of
stock-hogs can be used to consume sweet
potatoes to the best advantage, since
they do their own digging.
Sweet potato vines are usually left to
decay in the field where they are grown.
However, they may be used Is food for
cattle. An analysis Of very succulent
sweet potato vines, grown in Texas,
showed them to be practically identical
in chemical composition with succu-
lent cow pea vines, Of which the feed
ing value is well established.
Vines Of five varieties were analysed
at the Georgia station. and showed con-
siderable difference in composition. It
is claimed that the vines Of the So
called vinelcss variety, which stand up
well, can be cut with = moving ma
chine, but to permit Of this it will be
necessary to cultivate nearly level.
The vines are better suited for feeding
green than for curing into hay. In the
sill o they arc said to become Shiny. A
writer says he weighted q heavy crop
Of green vines, and found that the
weight was five and one-sixth tons per
acre. At the Texas experiment sta
ton the yield Of green vines was much
greater.
The sweet potato il = valuable crop.
They are worth raising for stock feed
alone. but sometimes 1t happens that
there is q good local demand at very
remunerative prices. The man who
has large yield when the general
crop is poor, generally gets good pay
for his efforts. II prices are unsatis-
factory it would pay to try the expert
ment Of feeding stock.-Rural World.

In the country, whether in the east
or west, north or south, the compensa-
ton 10 school-teachers is 80 small that
IL seems wonderful that those who re-
ceive these salaries can live on them.
These salaries range from 500 q year
to 5000 q year. The average for .
school year Of about seven months is
$3l8.S6 for men, and $262.92 for women.
The duties Of q country school-teacher
usually includes cleaning the school
house and building fires. These duties
are net always considered hardships
by the persons who take such posts,
as the women in all save exceptional
cases have been accustomed to such
work ut home, and the men find it easy
enough to g.t pupils to do the work
in exchange for fnvors in school. In
the country schools Of the United
States there are three times n many
women as men. the percentage being q
little greater than in the cities.
Most country schools have only one
teacher and that teacher Is required to
instruct children Of all ages and in all
branches up to grammar and algebra.
The amount Of either grammar or al
zebra dispensed in these schools il
quite uncomfortable, as these are
branches Of knowledge not In demand.
For what these country teachers do.
Is the schools are ct present cstab-
lished, it il likely that they are quite
adequately paid. A village school-mas-
ter will earn AZ much n the cobbler;
the schoolmistress win make N much

class better educated than the cobbler
or dressmake., and they do NOT work
any harder. Those Of them who have
thought about their calling. and who
have ever been moved to feel that great
responsibilities devclved upon them.
have realized that the conditions were
such that they could do next 70 moth
ing. and usually they have given over
any efforts to secure . change IN school

Mir. D. Calisher is arranging to en- large his cigar manufactory and sales room on Gale Elias, on the Sonora side of the line, and expects soon to in- crease the force to sixteen or eighteen. He now has en route large consign- ment of high grade tobaccos, with which, by employing the most expert workmen, he will make cigars equal to the best made in Vera Cruz or Haya- na. MT. Calisher has recently received a concession from the Mexican gov ernment by which cigars from his fac tory go beyond the free zone upon the same terms as those from factories in the interior of Mexico-a very import ant concession, for it relieves him from heavy duty to which he was subjected just as though his cigars had been imported instead of manufact- ured in Mexico. 1t will enable him to command a trade in which the manu- lecturers of the interior enjoyed de- cided advantage, but which they will now lose.

MAYORS MESSAGE.
snbmittcd to the common coaBcii of the Town of Nogalcs. mud Adopted Mon-
 day, December ist, 1890


 day, December ist, fS96
 At the request of the Town Council of Nogales, l submit the following report:
 Since the commencement Of the new term of the Common Council, which began April 9th, 1896, the affairs of the town government have Reen running along without any ob- staclcs or contentious, such as dis tractcd the town during the closing year of the preceding term. All good citizens show willingness to assist in pushing forward the progress and prosperity of our town. thereby mak- ing easier the thankless task of ad- ministering the municipal govern ment instead of harder.
 Including street cleaning, the town has expended upon street work, since the last Mayors message, the sum of ss62 45. Crawford street has been graded from the bridge to Sonoita avenue, on one even grade with rock water courses on each side, and eight foot sidewalks. the latter made by the property owners in conformity with the ordinances relating thereto. Ap- breaches to Crawford street from Avery and Sonoita avenues have also been cut and graded. Commencing at the International line Sonoita avenue has been cut down and graded with light grades easily surmounted.
 The town bridges have all been put in good repair and approaches thereto built up and protected by floods.
 A regular street cleaner has been employed to clean Morley avenue twice q week. at monthly remunera- tion of fourteen dollars.
 The Council has Tn contemplation the completion shortly of the Craw- ford street grade and connections thereto, and the. grading of Morley and Nelson avenues. ltwill be neces- sary to macadamize with small rock the two latter named avenues to their full width and crowsed in the center, as they are too narrow to ad- init of construction of water channels on either side. While the macadam- izing will be expensive it will be lasting and will carry off the water without damaging the roadway.
 To this time in the present term of the board the town has been to no expense on account of infectious diseases, and it is to be hoped that this favorable condition will coDti- nue. The exemption with which the town is favored is due greatly to the effective measures taken by the board in. the spring and summer of 1895.
 In the present term of the Council the town has been saved the expense of town attorney, there having been no occasion for the services of one. But when the work commences of securing title to the townsite and regulating distribution of the deeds to individual owners, it may be neces- sary to employ an attorney short time. But none will be employed un- less strictly necessary to the interests of the town and the property owners.
 In regard to obtaining patent to the townslte, it Is in order to state here that as soon as the Supreme Court of the United States rendered decision vesting the title to the land in the general government, the Council made immediate application for patent, ,and correspondence upon
 at snhiect is now in hand, 1t seem
