Milk COWS $500 to $4,000
There is at present about lis
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. II
has been estimated that q quarter
of million acres Of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notaely at the
narrows about 18 miles from Saf
ford where a 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

tance between the foot hills being

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 Gil;

rhe Cost of pogus Butter.

We have often been asked what prof
its the dealers realized on the sale OF
oleomargarine, but no definite or posi-
tive reply could be given for the very
reason that it has been difficult to get

Dairy Commissioner Van Valkenburg
of New York, has been looking into this
matter, and he gives the following
formula, together with cost: Twenty
four pounds of leaf lard, 27 pounds OF
oleo oil, u pounds of cottonseed oil

Well Worth Serious Consideration

Capital.
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 productsare 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 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
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,
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
ton Of the valley, contains q large
er per cent of tannic acid than any
ever sent TO the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
cluding improvements and water
rights.
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
facilities have been increased.
The cost Of maintaining the ca
nails which are owned by the farm
ers varies from 80 cts. to S1.00 per
acre per year.

where Many Mistakes Are Made.

Cows that produce from two to three
pounds of butter per day are high, but
the farmer can raise his own cows and
gradually reach the limit attained if he
will use only pure-bred sires. As long
as farmers buy their cows instead OF
raising them they will never improve,
unless they know just what they are
procuring. Unfortunately, when a
farmer desires q fresh COW he buys any
kind, provided it has recently calved,
and that is where he makes his greatest
mistake.

Senator Blackburn's return to the Sem
ate has been attended with good deal o (
gossip as to what course will now be taken
in supplying his place on March 4 next.
One opinion is that Gov. Bradley Will call
an extra session to elect Mr.. Blackburn s
successor; another that the governor r has the
right to appoint man for the place till
the next meeting of the legislature. If
Gov. Bradley has that power the appoint
ment would assure another Republican and
he would not take the risk involved in
calling the legislature.
When the election comes, every indiCa ton
is that the fight between the free silver
and the sound money factions of the Dem
ocratic party Will be renewed with all the
bitterness exhibited for year past, unless
Senator Blackburn shall retire from the race
In that event, however, there are now
symptoms of a reconciliation between the
two wings of the party.
THE MAN FAVORED.
The silver advocate looked upon with
most favor by the sound-noney men Is >i-
Gov. John Young Brown. Mr.. Brown has
always ranked as thorough-Going silver
Democrat; yet he has OF late modified his
views to such an extent that he would be
able to satisfy the moderate gold men and
possibly the radical also. Soon after he
went out of office last winter he made trip
to Mexico in company with President Mil
ton II. Smith of the Louisville ana Nash
Vile Railroad, and there saw n good deal
of the practical working of silver system.
The party consisted OF Gov. Brown, Pres-
dent Smith, Railroad Commissioners Wood
son. McChord ard PoyntZ and a few other
well-Snown public men. They had special
car and the free run of all the railroads
in the country. They went pretty much
wherever there was anything OF interest.
Gov. Brown had an opportunity to observe
the use of the white metal as money III all
its phases, and, 1t is said, has greatly
changed bis opinions.
ALL WERE CHANGED.
Messrs. Woodson. McChord, and PoyntZ,
too, all influent ial men OF Gov. Browns way
Of thinking, had an opportunity to see the re-
suits OF the use OF silver. and their opinions
were likewise considerably affected. Gov.
Brown talked at length of what he 81 W, and
what he said made IL sure that his acton in
regard to the financial question would not
run sharply contrary to that OF Senator Lind
sey and other bimctallists. who favor wait
ing for an International agreement.
In addition TO this Gov. Brown has the ad-
vantage OF coming from the western cnd
OF the State which has not had "a Senator
in forty years. He would also likely have
the influence OF the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, and that has often been "a deciding
force in Kentucky affairs.

Though the actual territcTy covered by

The meeting was conducted by Mrs. S.

Mrs. Platt, however, at the request of

In CONCLUSION Mrs. Platt called attention
to the fact that while the ranks of the W.

death and retirement on account of old age,
last year there was an increase of member
ship of over $4,000. B.
