GOOD FEEDING NECESSARY.
Good Breeding Not the Only Essen
 tial for Good Beef.

There could not be greater error essary for the young breeder to be sue cessful is to buy the blood and the balance would take care of itself. We might just as well expect a good crop of corn if we plant an excellent vari- ety in we'll prepared, rich soil, and then not give it any further attention, as to suppose that our pigs will de- velop into fine hogs, no matter how we'll bred, without the proper food and attention. In fact, the work of mah- ing the fine hog is only begun at weaning time, so says James Riley in American Swineherd. It is very i'm portant to have the pig we'll bred, as that is the foundation and, like build ing a house, it is important to have a good foundation. Then by using good material and skill in architecture we build a good substantial house, so with the pig, we want it well bred as a foundation, then by the proper method of feeding We develop it into fine hog. No young breeder will ever succeed in the business unless he makes study of the proper method of feeding pigs, as feed is the principal factor in the improvement of swine
 It is we'll known that by grading seed wheat and seed corn and planting the largest and best developed grains the grain will be improved from year to year, so with the pig. By feeding the pig a well balanced ration, ration that will build up all the different parts-the loin and ham, the muscular or lean. The pigs thus fed till they ar

corn that may be given to him, and the colder the weather, the more corn, relatively, he may be fed But to keep the system in tone, he should be given oats and corn, and if some bran can
 be added, heavy feeding can be con- tinued with safety for a longer period than in the absence of bran. When horses are being worked hard, they will do very well on a grain ration in winter, two-thirds of which is corn. But if one-fourth or one-fifth Of the grain fed is bran, there is much less danger Of digestive Arrangement than when bran is not fed. So advantage ous is bran to the grain food, that the aim should be to fesd some of it dur ing much of the year. The proportions named above relate to shelled corn and to weight rather than bulk It would not be very material whether the corn, oats and bran are all mixed before feeding, or whether they are fed sep arately; but even horse tires of sameness; hence it may serve some useful end, as whetting the appetite, to feed the corn and oats separately, tha- is to say to feed the corn morning and evening in winter, and the oats at noon, and in the summer to feed the oats morning and evening, and the corn at noon. The bran could be fed with one or the other of these grains. A horse weighing 1,200 pounds should require about fifteen to eighteen pounds of grain per day, that is to say, five or six pounds at each of the three feeds; but care should be taken to lessen the amount of food when the work slackens and in proportion as it slackens.

THE WONDERS OF ALUMINIUM.

The most striking property of alu- nun is it's lightness. Ten cubic inches of it weigh less than a pound. Iron is nearly four times and gold eight times as heavy.
 Aluminium is only exceeded in mall leability by gold and silver. In point of ductility it is seventh among the metals, ranking after copper in this respect.
 The metal is absolutely non-mag- netic, and for this reason is particu- larlye adapted for electrical appliances.
 A small percentage of silver mixed with aluminium hardens and strength ems it, making it most suitable for many kinds of delicate instruments and scientific apparatus.
 It is estimated that there is more aluminium in the world than iron. AL minimum forms per cent of the earth's crust. Its present dearness is owing to the fact that no cheap method has been discovered for separating it from the common clay in which it is found.
 The United States produced thirty eight pounds of aluminium in 1883. In 1892 the output was 260,000 pounds. In In 1896 l, ,300, 600 pounds.
 Aluminium may be rolled into sheets 5-10,00 of an inch in thickness. The beaten leaf is employed to a consider able extent in decoration.
 One of the most important of the uses of aluminium is for kitchen uten- sils. When it is remembered that the new material is as light as chalk, and at the same time as strong, that any kind of hollow ware formed of it may be knocked about to any extent and bent into any shape without breaking it will be seen that the clumsy iron utensil of today is doomed to be su- perseded.
 no more than a copper one and unlike the latter it does not have to be lined with tin for culinary employment, be- cause it does not corrode.
 The remarkable development shown in the quality of steel castings in the last few years is due to the admixture of aluminium, which renders the steel more fluid
 Racing shells are made from single sheets of aluminium one-nineteenth of an inch thick, which is considerably lighter than the cedar boats of prevj- ous years.
 Aluminium is destined to enter into every walk of life. Slate pencils and shoes for race horses are made of it. A thousand fresh uses for it have been discovered.

POSSIBLE IRON FAMINE.

To those who have noted the enor- nous output of both iron and steel in England and the United States, it must seem almost incredible that there should be the slightest likelihood of any shortage in either of these staples. says the British Columbia Mining Re- view. But the question has been late ly raised by as competent authority as the London Statist, whether there may not be a pig iron famine in England shortly. The Statist says the short age is likely to occur before the end of the year. The pith of the matter is contained in the following figures: Suppose" says the Statist, Eve take the American production of 1890, and add to it the foreign imports of pig iron, and compare the result with that of 1897, plus the manufactures import ed and minus the equal of our own ex- ports, we find the consumption of pig iron in 1897 to be rather more than 10,- 074 ,000 tons, which needs in 1898, so as to keep up to rate of usage of 1890. an output of 10,704, ,000 tons, instead of 9.652, ,000 tons. the product of last year. The output of the current year can hardly be less than Il, ,500,0 ,000 tons, by the reckoning, so that we have nearly 800,00O tons in excess of the home consumption of, provided that exports are not greater than last year. Of course, in the British naval yards, the builders have been using tremen- Gous quantities of material; 315,000 tots were taken out of stock to meet the demand; besides this. 100000 tons were imported from the United States; 600, DOC tons more of raw material were used last year than the year preceet-
 ing, ard placing the export at 140,000 tons, seems, according to the Statist,
 to bealtogether probable that before
 the ed of the year British stocks will
 be eIirely exhausted. From the west

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

J. J. Brooks, the mining man, has returned to Prescitt from trip to Big Bug.
 W. H. Rice, a we'll known Arizona prospector, is in Prescott from Crowned King, this being his first visit to Pres colt since 1890.
 A carload of ore from the San Mi guelita mine in Sonora was brought to Bisbee Thursday and will be shipped to the Fl Paso smelters.
 Two large teams were loaded Friday at Bisbee with supplies for the Cop per Queen mines, at Nacossari. Bisbee is becoming quite shipping point for mining supplies.
 CharIes Behm has gone to Groom creek with men and supplies to start work on his Uncle Joe mine, on which there is now a shaft fifty feet deep. The shaft will be sunk to depth of 100 feet. The ore from this mine car ries SIP per ton gold and about $40 silver. The distance between walls Is eight feet
 John Doan of Fortuna paid Yuma a visit Wednesday. He says the camp is fourishing and that preparations are being made for an exceedingly warm time on the great and glorious Fourth of July. Liberal prizes will be offered for athletic contests, and a tug-of-war between the married and single men of the camp will be well worth walk ing from Yuma to Fortuna to see. A bargain has been made for the f1eetest pig ever produced in the Colorado river valley, which will be shaved, greased and turned loose in camp, and the man who captures it will be entitled to the first dance with the goddess of liberty.
 A new formation was struck in the South Bisbee company's shaft at a depth of 175 feet Friday. The forma- tion from the beginning to the present depth was limestone and iron; that re- gently struck is a quartz formation of decomposed iron and quite a quantity of lead. A specimen of the ore shown to several prominent miners, who have been working in this camp for several years, state that it is a most encourag- ing sign of the close proximity of a body of copper ore. The workings of this company are being watched with interest by the many stockholders here and this encouraging report makes them feel as though the time is not far disctant when their stock will be dou- ble the present quoted price.

FUTURE CATTLE MARKET.

The American farmers usually go to Extremes. When wheat gets high in price then all want to raise wheat and when cattle are up all want to raise cattle or devote attention to what is booming. The man who makes a suc- cess of his business stays with it through depression as we'll as prosper ity. Cattle breeding is business one can we'll afford to stay with. Very sell dom good cattle sell below the cost of production and the mna who stays with stock during periods of depres- sion is the man who reaps the reward when the harvest comes. Breeding good cattle has recently undergone great changes. A few years ago, says N. B. Mosher in Coleman's Rural World, the states in the corn belt had plenty of feeders. Corn got high and our farmers all wanted to raise corn and the large portion of the good cat tie were sacrificed on the low market Pastures and meadows were plowed up, enormous corn crops were raised, corn went down and the American farmer soon realized the situation Looking for feeders to eat his corn he learned that they were not to be had in the country and he is obliged to go to the great markets for them, and when found they look better to him than such cattle ever did before. These are high grade Hereford, Shorthorns, black Doddles and other beef breeds, and cost as much per hundred as corn fed steers. The farmer is amazed and wants to know where those good cattle come from; he learns that they are range cattle and that the wise stock man was buying good bulls and grad ing up his cattle while the farmer was raising cheap corn. The questions now agitating the minds of farmers are, how much higher are good cattle go- ing, how long will they keep up? These are important questions that no one can answer with certainty. Every thing indicates that the price of good cattle will still be higher. There is unquestionably a great shortage, and with increase of population and grow ing demand for our beef in foreign countries, it seems as if we have pros poets for good prices for the next eight or ten years. Questions for the farmer to consider are, can we afford to raise cheap corn and buy high priced feeders, and how many good cattle can I keep on my farm? One reason that our farmers should raise cattle is not fully appreciated; it is for the good effect on their farms. The most productive farms all over the country are those that have been de- voted to stock raising while the worn out farms are those that have been in the hands of renters and others who are raising grain. It seems to me that western farmers should take warning from the experience of their eastern brothers, who now have to buy fertil- izers by the carload. Would it not be better to raise that which will build up the farm and bring a good price than to produce that which robs the land and will soon result in large in- creased expenditures for fertilizers ?- Denver Republican.

UPRAISE OR WINZE.

As between upraising and winzing between levels in metal mines, the former is the cheaper method. Grav- ity assists in the removal and blasting of the ore. Two men will upraise from four to six feet in hard rock in a shift in hole 4x4 feet. The work is much easier on the men, as they have no ore to shovel, while in the winze two men with the aid of the two men at the windlass will only sink from two to two and one-half feet in a shift in fair rock. The serious objection to overland work is the great danger from falling rock and the liability to guard against it. These upraises or winzes serve several purposes of ven- tilation, subdivision of the vein, and when mining operations are begun, the upraise is timbered and becomes a chute for the delivery of the ore. In the overland method of working out a vein, after the levels have been driv- en and the vein blocked out by the up- raises into blocks of 150 feet in length and the width of the vein, then the workable blocks of vein matter are stoped from the upraise both ways for
 
 miners begin at the upraise and break away slice as wide as the vein nd six or seven feet high. The ore is then picked over and delivered at the level below. After a slice has been re- moved, the mill hole is timbered, the height of the slice removed, with close laid, round logs of about six inches in diameter. One slice after another is removed until the upper level is reach ed and the block is exhausted It is not uncommon in the working of veins which are entirely pay dirt to allow the broken ore to gather in the waste space to such convenient height as will give the miners footing. The excess is removed, and the whole accumula- tion is removed as soon as the stope is exhausted. The ore which accumu- lates in the chute is drawn off as rap idly as circumstances will permit. The chute is never emptied, but is relieved only of the excess. This plan pre- vents the rolling of the ore down the chute, and so prevents an excessive pulveriZation of the ore. As rich ore is usually brittle, the loss induced by such pulverization would be great Mining and Scientific Press

Prof. Thomas Shaw of the Minnesota experiment station writes on the value of corn, oats and bran for horses, and says the proportions of corn and oats which are best for working horses will depend somewhat on the nature of the work, and somewhat on the sea- son of the year. The harder the horse is being worked, it would be correct to say, the larger the proportion of
