SOME DAIRY DoN'TS.


Don't think scrub sircs can produce
choice stock for any purpose,
Don't keep calves in dark. filthy
places and expect them to thrive.
Don't be afraid TO spend money for
sire from first-class family.
Don't make your cows drink water
that you could not drink yourself.

is sufficient so it chews cud.
Dou't try to be called large dairy
man by the number OF cows you keep.
Don't keep q COW a month without
testing her to see If she pays her way.
Don't think that strainers or sepa-
rators can take soluble filth out OF
milk.
Don't run or worry cows going to
and from the pasture or in the milking
yard or stable.
Don't think to raise calf for milch
COW and feed it up to its time of partu-
rition for beef animal.
Don't have pastures so short that
COW. must work every hour of the day
and night to get enough to eat
Don't forget that COW is decidedly
q creature of habit and in oil ways try
to conform to her peculiar habits.
Don't feel that your cows are wasting
time if they lie in the shade and chew
their cud for few hours each day.
Don't forget to SOW plenty of oats
and Feas or corn for green feeding
when the annual shrinlsage is sure to
come.
Don't leave cows with cracked or sore
teats day after day and then beat them
because they kick while being milked

FARM ICE HOUSE.

The building is cheaply n,aac of

used for lining roofs.

ing how the studding for the two walls
is arranged. This studding is three by
six inches, in order to make the walls
strong and rigid.
With these drawings as q guide any
carpenter can put up an icehouse that
will serve every purpose. Packing may
be sawdust, spent tan bark. or even
chaff if nothing else is available.
The ice should be cut into regular
blocks of the same size and piled up
compactly, leaving foot or Is inches
between it and the inside wall. After
the ice is in the space between it and

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 dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from Saf.

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 80 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 flanked
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

The agricultural resources of the
Gila 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 a to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from s
to s 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, barley and oats grow
prolificly, 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 a sur.
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.

CHINESE WOMEN PILE DRIVERS

Piles were being driven in one OF the
new buildings for "A foundation. They
were eight inches in diameter and four
teen feet long. The staging was bamboo
and so was the frame of the hammer,
which was round piece OF cast iron,
with hole in the center for guide rod,
says Cassel's Magazine.
Attached to the hammer blocks were
twenty-seven ropes, carried up to the top
of the frame and down on the outside,
looking very much like the old fashioned
Maypole. Twenty seven women had hold of
the ropes, and with q sing. song, all to-
gether, pulled down; up the rod, four feet,
travelled the hammer; then at scream,
all let go, and down it came on top of the
pile, which was unprotected by a band or
ring. The women were paid twenty cents
in gold per day. This Maypole driver is
in general use throughout Japan and
China.

JOHN BULL APPROVES.

The Morning Post, leading London

tion as pleasant assurances that good

America" This is the general senti-
ment in all England. 1t is opposed to
Bryan and free coinage, because il is a
gold STANDARD country, and is anxious to
enforce the same standard in the United
States.
Now, England is also a free trade coun.
try, and it's newspapers have always fav-
ored free trade policy ON the part of
this country. For this reason it has al
ways opposed Mckinley and his protec-
ton ideas as against the Democratic par
ty which has favored tariff for revenue.
The protection people have always talked
about the ship loads of British gold that
came over here to defeat tariff legislation,
and appealed to the people to maintain

ism and recommendation, the English
press ignored the tariff issue and espoused
Mckinley's cause because Mckinley
stood for gold. Even England is willing
to accept Mckinley's tariff ideas, if it can
fasten the gold standard on this country.
These being the facts, two questions
become extremely pertinent: If the Brit
ish system of finance is good for this
country, why not the British system of
trade also? And if it is proper to build
an American trade system, why not an
American financial system alsos Repub-
licans of the Mckinley stamp have al

rect, does it not also follow that the best
argument in favor of free coinage is be-
cause England is opposed to it? 1t
might also be suggested that if England
is willing to ignore the tart n question in
favor of the single gold standard, Ameri-
cans might do the same thing To secure
