Jerome News: Near the head of the Hassayampa river, in Yavapai county, the unusual occurrence ,ot the four mills pounding away so close together that all may be heard at once, may be be noted by visitors. They are those of the Senator, the Chicago Gold Mining company, the Sun Dance and Storm Cloud mining companies. The Senator mill, running on the ore from the Evergreen and Snoozer mines, is in charge of Joseph Carmichael, known all over the country; John Lube is making decided success of running the Chicago eompany's mill, which is said to be as good mill as there is in the territory; H. k. Armitage Is sup erintending the Sun Dance company's property, and the fact that the mill is doing it's duty is attested by the pro- duct freighted to Prescott; while the Storm Cloud property is looking spledid, and the results from that company's mill are highly satis- factory

FEEDING FOR EGGS.


Green Bone Beats All otAer sub-
stances as winter Fsed.
The profit is always sure whep every
detail IL correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for it in
the market. The cheapest food for the
poultryman or farmer II that which
gives him the largest number Of er9s.
1t matters not what the food costs. 20
long AZ the eggs correspond. II II the
product by which We should measure
and estimate.
Green bones arc not used a. extensive
| " a. they should be because grain "a q
be obtained with less difnculty and at a
low cost, but as egg producing material
the bone il far superior to grain; nor
does the bone really cost more than
grain In some sections. The cutting Of
the bone into available sizes i now
rendered an easy matter, AZ the bone.
cutter Is within the reach Of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher have more OF
less meat adhering, and the more Of
such meat the better, asit will cost NO
more per pound than the bone, while
the combination Of both meat and bone
Is almost perfect food from which ia
produce eggs.
II the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
viii make large profit. We may add
that II the product Of each hen can b,
incseased one egg per week only, In
winter. that one egg will pay for all the
food she can possibly consume. and Il
therefore pays to feed the substancei
that will induce the hens to lay. II the
hens are consuming food and yet pro
ducing no eggs, they will cause los,
to their owner; and this happens every
winter on a large number Of farms
The hens receive plenty of food, but moi
Of the proper kind.
A pound Of cut green bone Ia sum
cient for 10 hens one day, which mean,
that one cent will pay for the bone 70,
that number Of fowls. II one quart o.
grain be fed at night to 10 hens, and ONT
pound Of bone In the morning, 1t should
be ample for each day In winter. In sum.
mer only the bone need be given. Such
diet provides fat, starch, nitrogen
phosphates, lime and all the substa a nces
required to enable the hens to lay eggs
As an egg is worth about three cents In
winter, II is plain that 1t is cheaper te
feed bone than grain, as the greater
number Of eggs not only reduces the
total cost, but increases the profit a,
we'll.
The bone-cutter is as necessary to tn.
pcultryman as his feed mill. II enable,
him to use an excellent and cheap food
and gives him profit where be NIGH
otherwise be compelled to suffer loss
II is claimed that bone-cutter pay
for itself in eggs and really costs moth
ing. Bones are now one Of the staple
articles Of food for poultry, and NO ra
tion should have them omitted. The,
are food, grit and lime, all combined
in one, and the hens will leave all Other
foods to receive the cut bone II cut
fine, even chicks and ducklings will
relish such excellent food. while turkye,
grow rapidly on 1t. To meet with sue
cess requires the use of the best ma
terials. and green bone beats all Other
