TU RKEY AS SEEN By A
TURK.


It. M. Keussef, a native OF Tur-
key, who is preparing for the min
istry at Park college, Parkville,
Mo-, lcctured at the Linwood
Presbyterian church recently on
Turkey and the Turks" Contra
ry to general belief" he said, 'the
Turks keep their houses clean IN
side. The work of the women is to
wash and paint them often. The
women there paint their houses,
not their cheeks, as here The
houses consist of one room in which
the family eat, sit and sleep, all on
the floor. The family cften consists
of as many as twenty, and even
forty are sometimes uhder on"
roof. The Moham,nedans do not
eat pork They drspise the hog
and-have even prosecuted to death
the owners of the animals. IT the
Turks were to invade Missouri the
people who raise so many hogs
would suffer. the Turks are truth
full, even more so than the Armen-
ians and the Greeks. with whom
ming'e and there is a growing re-
spect for the American mlsslona-,
ries. The Moslem converts are
made 10y the sword; it is religion
of force, very strict i'll form but
lacking in principle. A Turk new.
er forgives an enemy, and no troub-
le is considered too much to enable
a Turk to do an enemy an injury
and avenge wrong. Turks never
allow woman to enter a mosque.
Women are considered as worth
but little. A man with only girls
is considered ch;ldless. The usual
wedding salutation is may you live
long and have many sons and no
daughters. Mohammed said when
he looked into hell that it, was filled
mostly with women. The Turks
are polygamists. They can marry
and divorce their wives with ease.
The poor Turks have but one wife
and they are continually trading
with each other lhey are alb
stainers but are promised that in
paradise each good Turk will have
rivers of wine to drink The
drunken Turk is d:sgraced and
very few are seen.

COPPER QUEEN, TIMBER
SUIT.

The case of the United States rs
The Copper Queen Consolidated
M ming o.. has been ordered
docketed for ret rial. The govern
ment claims $l80,000 stumraga for
timber cut from off the public do
main, the contention being tnat
the Lind from whence the tinber
was cut is non-mineralizs |, and
that therefore mining mining com
pan:es have no more legal right
thereon or thereto than individuals
of other callings. This is case of
much. Importance, as the mining
interests of Southern Arizona will
be materially affected by the ulti :
mate disposition of the suit. The
case was on trial IN Tucson last
fall, when the Copper Queen pro
duced expert evidence to substan
tate it's claim that the section in
controversy is a mineral region, the
trial consuming twelve days and
resul ing in disagreement. Tha
Chiricah las are known by miners
and prospec' ors to contain minerals,
and several able aud reputable m"n
gave expert testimony to that ef :
feet at the last trial. However,
the case will no doubt be definitely
settled in favor OF the Copper
Queen Co. at the forthcoming trial,
as the government has signified its
intention of sending out the direc-
tor of the geological survey, who
will make scientific investigation
and determine for all time the class
to which the Chiricahua p:neries

CATTLE FEEDING TEST.

We are in receipt from tie
Wyoming Experimental Station of
some feeding tests of three breeds
of cattle, which may be of sufficient
value to Justify presenting a con-
densed statement. Six steers were
used, two of them grade Shorthorns
two grades Polled Angus, and two
we're natives = all having been
reared OH the ranges and were 2
years old part. The horned ones
had been dehorned the year before.
One of the Shorthorns and one of
the natives were very wild and di!
not become tame. All were fed
second cutting alfalfa hay and had
free access to running water.
Three. one of each kind, were fed
sugar beets, and the other three
grain. Those fed on sugar beets
gave an average net profit of S3 AZ
each, and those fed grain a net loss
of So. So eac The animals were
purchased = the two Shorthorns
cost $50 and sold for $72. %; the
Polled Angus cost $50 and sold for
I $7l.5l; the natives cost $50 and
sold for $7O.6l- The cost of feed
for the Shorthorns and Angus was
the same aud that for the natives
$2 % head less. The Shorthorns
gained 85 pounds each in 81 days,
the natives ll8 pounds each, ar
the Polled Angus 1877 pounds
