Monday for the Yaqui river district to

L. NJ. Reid of Minneapolis, principal
owner Of the Santa Gertrudis property,
81 miles east of Imuris, left Wednesday
for the hiire. He expects the hoist
will be in operation within thirty days.
The main shaft is now down 80 feet,
on the ledge, and it is the intention to
continue to depth OF $50 feet with
crosscuts during the next Iyear. The
ledge is now 4S inches in width, Mr..
Reid says, and assays show silver rum

with good showing of gold. During
his stay in Nogales Mr.. Reid made
many friends who wish him success in
his mining operations.

EXERCISE AND PURE AIR.

The non-exercise notion for dairy cat
tie has been prolific source Of mischief.
In its extreme this doctrine found eY-
preston In the statement that "a COW
gets all the exercise she needs In
chewing her cud." To keep her quiet
the COW must be kept closely confined
iu comparative darkness. Along with
this non-exercise notion and equally
Injurious was the hot air idea. "The
warmer q COW Is kept the smaller the
proportion of her food does she need to
consume in making body heat, and the
more of her food Is left for milk
making"
As the outcome OF these two notions,
thousands Of dairy cows have been suf-
focsted, enervsted and diseased. Pure
air is absolutely essential to healthy
cows, and pure air cannot be secured
for cows that are continuously confined
In air-tight stables, or stables that can
be kept up to blood heat. A certain
amount OF muscular exercise is equally
essential TO the msking Of pure blood,
and the preservation OF health.
These two facts have been impressed
upon many owners OF dairy cows re-
Gently by their painful experience with
the tuberculin crusaders. Wherever
tuberculosis has been found most prev
sleut, cows were kept more or less con-
tinuously in close, hot stables with but
little or no exercise in the open air. II
COW owners At large take 10 heart the
lesson, the tIberculin cr-zs will not
have been entirely devoid of good ~
suits. The Jersey Bulletin has always
preached pure air and sunshine, and
truthfully says that the majority Of Jer-
sey breeders keep their cattle In COM
Portable quarters and give them plenty
Of exercise. To this fact is due in a
large measure the wonderful vitality OF
the breed. The breed has been built uI
10 the open air. Where the climate re.
quires protection from cold, protecti0r
should be given, but only 80 much n
the health and comfort of the cows actu
allv require. Do NOT molly-coddle them
