DUCKS FOR PROFIT.
They Can Be Made to Grow Almost Twice
as Fast as Chickens.

as fast as Chickens.
When there is opportunity for giving
the ducks a good range with access 10
water, ducks can readily be made prof
table. They ought to be made to find
| the greater part of their own food if the
best profit is realized from keeping.
The breeding stock should be carefully
selected, taking the best of the fowls,
introducing new blood by purchasing
iuclzs at least every two years. 1t is
est to hatch the first eggs set under
ens, aud then push the growth as rap
diy as possible, so as to get them ready
Tor market by the latter part of June or
July. When little care is taken to
push the growth, they can be made to
grow almost twice as rapidly as chick
ems, and at the end of ten or twelve
weeks will weigh twice as much as
chickens of the same age.
Then hen makes better mother than
the duck. For the first two weeks the
duckling requires good treatment.
They must be kept dry and warm. If
allowed TO get wet or chilled, it win
generally prove fatal. The safest plan
is to keep as comfortable as possible
until the feathers get well started TO
growing. They should be kept out of
water until they are reasonably we'll
f6a1threered. They need plenty of water
to drink, b1h-san be raised to maturity
with only what wafeS> they need to
drink >
Either sprinkle the eggs well with
warm water or drop them in warm
water on the 27th day of incubation.
Ducklings dying in the shell is largely
caused by lack of moisture, and sprink-
ling will be found especially beneficial.
Keep them warm and dry for the first
"a hours. Thy will not need anything
TO eat during this time. Stale bread,
if soaked in milk until soft, and then
squeezed reasonably dry, makes good
duck feed for the first three or four
days. With ducks rather than with
any other class of poultry it is i'm
portant TO give bulky food. If given
too much grain, especially corn, they
are liable to leg weakness or cramps.
Give the run of a small yard during
the day when it is warm and sunshiny.
Do not give much range until two
weeks old.
In making a start get either the
Peking, Aylesbury or Rouen, named in
the order of preference. The advantage
of the two first is that the feathers are
all white, and in selling will bring the
best price.-Journal of Agriculture.

The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area Of
arabic land Of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes Of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as'that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat -harfieTand Its grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish,

Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal

Milk cows S25.00 to $4,000
There is at present about 118
miles Of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the Lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that quarter
Of million acres Of additional land
could be irrigated if storage lams
were built. This could be done
| in several places, notably at the
narrows about l8 miles from Saf-
ford where box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge of the res
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands Of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the Gila mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
Of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the Gila
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is virgin field for both the
minor and CAPITALIST and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining COM
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,
at Clifton. The former employees
800 men and the latter 600.
The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,
600 annually.
Experts are at present prospect
ing near Saffoad for coal.
There are twenty-five schools,
and one Academy in Graham
county. The examination for
teachers is very strict; only those
who are thoroughly qualified be-
ing able to procure certificates.

nations look after the spiritual
welfare of the community. Soci-

THE New MAN.-Rev. Anna Shaw
OF San Francisco, who has Just re.
turned from trip East received a
royal welcome Monday evening, from
her many friends in Native Sons hall,
She is one of the leaders OF progress in
that State. In response to the
speeches of welcome she facetiously
defined the ideal coming man who is
to be the counterpart of the new wo-
man. He is to be "men tally, physi-
cally and morally a noble creature.
He will develop to be the equal of the
new woman, and together they will
enter the next century not in a spirit
OF competition but of cooperation"
They will be congenial friends, and
a man will not feel that he has to talk
tootsy-wootsy' to reach the intellec-
tual plane of the new woman" Miss
Shaw saw in the future a realization
of Olive Schrener's dream "when
there would be perfect equality"

CONGRESSMAN HARTMAN, though he
may be an humble individual from a
Western borough, did the proper
thing when a few days ago he de.
precated the action of the President in
outlining what he Considered party
duty, in stump speech in New York.
The President has had a pretty fair
opportunity for expression of his
views on public questions in his OF.
fetal capacity, and on some OF them
there has been very wide difference
between himself and large portion
OF his party, and it is hut fair that
they should now be given an oppor-
tunity to formulate a platform free
from official dictation. He of all
other American citizens should avoid
the hustings, and with the result
of President Johnson's unfortunate
" swing around the circle" before him
as a warning, is a manifestation of
the audacity ever displayed when any
rules are defined for his own guild
ance.
