The indictments found by the late Maricopa county grand jury against c. w. Pugh were dismissed by Judge Street on demurrer. Mir. Pugh was secretary of the live stock sanitary board under the Franklin administra- tion, and appropriated to his own use, by consent of Chairman Colin Cameron, the fees received for brand recording, as well as other moneys. The amount thus retained by Mir. Pugh is es simsted at from $4000 to 5000. Judge Street held that no criminal iutent was shown, but nevertheless the present sanitary board made a demand upon Mir. Pugh for the money alleged to be due the territory, which he refused to disgorge. We have no particular ani- mostly against Mr. Pugh, and the present sanitary board has sho.z n itseif to be no better than he, but at the same time we think the money he got was illegally abstracted and that restil tuition should be demanded, if not practicable by criminal proceeding then by civil suit. The stoclxmen Sf the territory have got the wors1 of # since the new law went into effect and the present board appears to be more extortionate than the former board. Their demand of g for recording a brand is not only arbitrary but has nothing whatever in law to support it.-TSilver Belt.

Foods for Pigs,

The Alabama experiment station has
peanuts, cowpeas and sweet potatoes TO
pigs, and publishes the following sum
mary:
Spanish peanuts, when harvested by
young pigs. were converted into pork,
worth, at 3 cents per pound, 1854 per
acre of peanuts, when all conditions were
favorable.
In another field, with only half stand
of plants the value of the pork from an
acre Of Spanish peanuts was 1904 and
S.SS In two experiments.
UBder favorable conditions pork dive
weight was produced at the rate of ,426
pounds per acre of peanuts, supplement
ed by 1913 bushels of corn.
With half a stand of plants an acre of
Spanish peanuts produced, unaided pork
at the rate of 26l pounds per acre, and at
the rate of $40 pounds per acre when the
acre of peanuts was supplemented with
1916 bushels of corn.
When fed to pigs in pens only 2.S pounds
of unhulled Spanish peanuts were requir-
ed to produce each pound of increase in
live weight. This is equal to 8 pounds of
increase, worth q cents as a return for
each bushel of peanuts eaten.
Shoats pastured on nearly mature cow
peas and supplied with corn made almost
three times the gain IN live weight made
by similar shoats fed exclusively on corn.
The cowpea crop was above the aver
age and it's value in 3-cent pork, after
subtractlng the cost of the corn fed, was
$1065 per acre.
Shoats fed in pens gained more rapidly
in weight on a ration of ground cowpeas
and corn than on ground corn alone In
effect 52S pounds of this mixed food was
equal to sos pounds of ground corn.
Three pounds of sweet potatoes proved
decidedly inferior to one pound of corn
meal.
Cowpeas fed with corn did not intu-
riously affect the quality of pork or lard.
Peanuts, when fed with corn, greatly soft
ened the pork and lard
The softening effect of peanuts was still
greater when they constituted the sole
food.
This softening effect of peanuts was not
corrected by feeding exclusively on corn
for month before the date of slaughter

Inc Gulf states generally, and Louisi-
ana in particular, are very paradise for
growing hogs. Many persons seem 10 think
that hogs should be kept in confinement
and fed the year around, whereas The
truth is, they can be grown more sue
cessfully and more economically if grant
ed larger liberty in ample pasture for TO-
rage fields.
DR.. Stnbbs, director of the Louisiana
state experiment stations has discussed
this matter at various times and has
brought out very clearly the advantages
that Louisiana possesses in this direction.
His sequence of forage crops for hogs is
about as follows. Rust proof oats plant
ed in October, will ripen early in May
If the hogs are turned upon these in
small areas at a time their feeding can
be so arranged that by the time the oats
are all consumed an adjacent field of
sweet corn VIII be sufficiently advanced
to permit Of it's feeding to the hogs. which
may be turned In to it in a similar man
ner. The hogs will devour the sweet corn,
stalk, ear and all After the corn is gone
a field of early sorgham may come into
play, which the hogs will eagerly consume
in the same way. By the time this is fin
ished the season will be so advanced that
the adjacent fields of ordinary corn and
cow peas will be ready for consumption
and the change of diet will sufficiently
whet the appel ites of the pigs as to lead
them to consume the whole of the feed
thus offered to them. BY this time which
will be late in the fall the sweet potato
patch may be ready, on which the hogs
will fatten themselves until ready for mar
ket.
This succession of forage crops can
readily be awaited of in any of the Gulf
states and with a little judgment pork
can be produced in this way more cheaply
than in any of the other states of the
union. The hogs can thus be made to har-
vest their own crops and to utilize crops
which grow very prolific in the soil of
our Gulf states. In this statement of the
case we have made no reference to alfalfa.
which hourshes IN our aliuvial lands and
which as a forage plant, makes almost a
complete ration for feeding hogs In fact,
Mr.. w. L. Foster of Shreveport at a re-
cent annual meeting of the Louisiana
Slate Agricultural Society, said that
single acre OF alfalfa, grown in the valley
of the Red river, would produce 5000
pounds of pork in a single year A few
acres in alfalfa might make a satisfactory
addition to the succession of crops that
we have recued wherein the hogs could
Craze should there be any miss in the cal
culation as to the growth of the various
crops referred 10.
We presume that in time we shah be-
gin to learn the great money value of our
soil and climate, but thus far neither we
nor others seem TO appreciate Ii.

The present long continued drought, only
broken by a few recent rains, has proven
that a Bermuda grass lawn is not to be
relied upon in extremely hot periods Of
months, like we have just passed through
My lawn was nearly killed out, and for
months was of no practical use.
Last winter 1 received from Col ]. Y.
Detwiler of New Smyrna, Fla, a sample
of his "Detwiler Lawn Grass" formerly
known as st. Lucie grass, from the East
Coast of Florida which he had greatly
improved by careful culture at his home
l put his grass out in three different
places, to test it fully. Some 1 put on a
sand mound, exposed to the sun, and some
under shady tree, and the rest out on
the lawn where there was no shade for
1t any part of the day. All through the
recent drought, however, 1 saw no differ
ence in the growth or green shade of
this grass. 1t retained beautiful, bright
green shade all through the summer, in
sunshine or shade.
Our people here, who have elegant win
ter homes, have also tried it with unvary-
ing success. The Mayor Of the city and
his wife, who is president of the Ladies'
Park Improvement Society, were so
pleased with this grass that they took a
trip over to New Smyrna to see Col. Det-
wyler's beautiful lawn. They have ordered
this grass for our city park in preference

have, and write simply to benefit people
who have had very hard experience in the
past in securing a good lawn grass for all
the year round, hot or cold. wet or dry.
l have found it In this "Detwiler Lawn
Grass" and wish others to enjoy its rare
benefits. Unlike the Bermuda, its roots
are fine, short and tender, and do not run
into and cling to the roots of trees. Il has
a root something like the strawberry plant
and can be easily controlled. It's shade

muda grass, and is not, so far as / have
seen, affected by intense heat. After fifty
years experience, l consider it the best
lawn grass that has ever come under my
observation, and is especially adapted to
this dry, sandy country.

Ia, Who has. perhaps, the largest collec-
ton Of Japanese plums in the state, and
who mas carefully studied them for some
seven years past, in endeaVoTing to eX-
plain before the Iowa State Horticultural
Society The many points of resemblance
between the japanese plums and the ma
uves, did it by suppOsing that a land con-
neCuOn at one time existed between Asia
and North western America, and that the
two species were Identical in origin. The
japanese plums are not only valuable In
themselves, but promise to be particularly
valuable for crossing on other varieties.
Mr.. Luther Burbank has done a great
Zeal Of work of this kind much of which
Las been very successful.
The varieties differ greatly in hardness,
some of them being fully hardy in the
Northern states while others are only suit
ed for the South aud the warmer parts of
the Pacific coast Among the harder va
rieties are the Burbank, Abundance, VIII
lard, OsOn, Satsuma, etc. BY a suitable
choice of varieties, a very long plum sea-
son can be secured, extending from the
middle of July to the middle of Septem-
Der. Most of the varities are red with deep
yellow flesh and a few have deep red flesh.
There are four we'll known yellow varie-
ties and eight or ten that are free stones.
chief weakness in the japanese plum
is a usually early bloom, rendering it liza
bic to be caught by late frosts. For a home
plum orchard, however, this is not a draw
back for with part Japanese and a part
of the other varieties, the Japenesa plums
will often secure a crop for home con-
sumption by reason of the early bloom,
when the ordinary varities that bloom la
ter fair 10 set fruit because of bad wealth

varieties, too, are said to be particularly
liable to rot. On the other hand it is

ity from black knot and leaf blight, with
AT least partial immunity from the curcu-
Ito. This last, however, is contradicted by
some Of the growers of the Japanese
plums. Mr.. S. H. Van Trump, of Elmira,
Mo, for example finds them rather more
injured on his grounds by the curculio
than the American varieties. There is
scarcely a doubt that the japanese piums
are distinct accession to our fruit list,
and merit extensive Trial wherever plums
can be grown, selecting, of course, the va
rieties best adapted to the location.

1t is always the best mixer that gives
the most trouble in milking. This is real
ly cause and effect. for having the udder
filled with milk makes it very sensitive to
the touch, and requires very careful hand
ling not to hurt the COW. The natural re-
suit is that such cows are beaten and i'll
used, thus causing them to hold up the
milk usually to do some vigorous kicking
as the result of the pain they are suffering.
If there is a large amount of milk thus
retained it is likely to cause garget and
permanently spoil the COW.
Generally If the COW kicks most milk
men will either kick back, or will take a
safer means of getting far enough away
so that the COW cannot kick them. and
belabor her over the back and sides Such
measures are cruel and wholly unnecessa-
ry. If ring is put in the cows nose and
her head is fastened up so that she can
not get it down, she cannot kick. Each
vicious kick is accompanied with a lower
ing of the head, as if to hook When the
COW goes to lower her head she finds that
the ring in her nose hurts her, and that
at once will make her desist 1t is a very
simple method and has always proven
effectual when tried

Hogs in summer.

The hog may be kept growing and thrifty
through August as well as May, provided
the May conditions are furnished, and this
is possible on most farms. One of the
most important of these is pasture. 1t is
possible 10 grow hogs successfully by SOIL
ing, but it requires more attention and
work than most farmers are willing to
bestow. A grass run affords the growing
pig that exercise so necessary for his
proper Development, and the succulent
grasses are rich in the muscle and bone
forming material. Grass and clover are
loosening to the system and are just
suited to his wants in dry, hot weather.
1t matters not how well cared for in 9TH
er RESPECTS, the pig will never be thrifty
in summer unless he has plenty of pure,
fresh water. This important point, is,
perhaps, more often neglected than any
other. Slop will not answer the purpose
of drinking water entirely, though It is,
of course, a partial substitute. The man
who has never had the job of carrying
water in pail to a bunch of hogs has
no idea the amount they drink on a dry,
hot day.
The man who will pen up hogs or any
other animals in lot or field entirely des-
titute Of shade ought to receive the at
tention of the humane society. Such pro-
lection from the sun as a wire fence af-
fords is hardly sufficient. Shade trees
here and there will do fairly we'll. but
nothing is equal to a wood lot If the
ground be low and dam, and is covered
by a dense underground through which the
sun never penetrates, so much the better.
but shade of some kind they must have in
order to thrive and grow. Some good hog
growers believe that hog baths are neces-
sary Others believe that wallow of mud
is better than none. 1 know from long
experience that the hog will do tolerably
wei without any bath except rain, provid-
ed he has damp ground and dense shade.
He Will do still better If he can have a
bath of clean water at will. But rather
than allow him access to a foul wallow of
thick mud 1 would prefer that he never
see water except to drink In these times
we must look carefully to these details If
we grow hogs at a reasonable, profit

No type of fruit introduced into this
country during the last quarter of a CEN
fury has received wider recognition more
extensive trial or warmer commentator
than the Japanese plums. The plum be-
longs to the Species Prunus trlhora. all
though there are some who doubt whether
ell the varieties are of this species. The
plum is distinguished from the common
Domestica sorts by being generally more
pointed, or heart-shaped, and having a
deep groove or suture in one side. the pits
are less winged and IL is IA much better

as long as two weeks after they are ripe.
They commonly bear three or more win

Initiating Stable Manure.

A ton of fresh horse manure is estimat-
ed to contain on an average ten pounds
of nitrogen ten pounds of potash and
four pounds of phosphoric acid, and to
have a commercial value as these ele-
ments cost in the manufactured fertilizers
of 81. Nearly all of this would be In a
form Immediately available for the use Of
the plants.
To manufacture fertilizer of about the
same strength from material in which all
would be Immediately available, one
might take in round numbers SO pounds
of sulphate of ammonia 20 per cent nitro
gen, 20 pounds muriate of potash 30 per
cent actual potash and 40 pounds of acid
phosphate, 10 per cent, available phos-
phoric acid Actually these materials US
ually run a little higher than the percen-
tages given, but one might be very sure
that they would reach that strength The
cost of the materials if bought in ton lots
would be below rather than above the
value named for the horse manure, or
with freghts added that would be about
the cost.
The nitrogen In the sulphate of ammo
mia costing more than one-half of the
whole fertilizer. if one could obtain nitro
gen from blowing in clover, peas or other

Range of Honey 4ees.

The range of the honey bee is but little

ing that bees go for miles in quest of nee
tar, while others think that they so only
a short distance. 1t may be curious 10

located they will not so very far, per-
haps a mile in range, but if bloom IS
scarce they may go five miles.
