The Bankers Reserve Life is a live in

reason this young, aggressive company
takes the opportunity afforded it by the
press to announce its views upon current
topics. A life insurance company, unlike
Cecil Rhodes, is a benefactor to both the
living and the dead.

quantities of this class of ore can be secured in the Lone Star district. The capacity of the present plant is about 20 tons daily, although only about 10 tons of ore is being treated at the present time. The sulphuric acid is at present ship ped from San Francisco, but it IS expected that a supply of acid can be secured at Globe when the Black Warrior acid plant is put in operation. This would materially lessen the cost of the acid.
 Star: Dr. E. T. Allen, of Chi cago, came in from Pesquera can yon yesterday and reports a rich strike in the mines of the Consoli- dated Gold Mining company. These mines are in the Guijas dis trict not far from Arivaca The vein on the first level has develop ed to six feet wide. Much of the ore will yield over $l00 to the ton. What appears to be a pocket has inst been struck which yields over $1 100 per ton of free gold. Doctor Allen had a large sack of this ore taken from this pocket, which is very rich. He does not know how far or wide this new strike will reach but it was big enough when when he left camp to create vast amount of enthusiasm. Dr. Dr. Galusha Anderson of the University of Chicago is president of the Consolidated Gold Mining company of Arizona, and C. E. Holman the superintendent. The company has just installed mill to treat its ores. We may look for more good news from that camp and especially this new strike.

few days. The ore body in the strike on the Casey claims is still unfathomed The hanging wall has not vet been found. The ore becomes richer with depth.
 Prospector: With smelter at Benson quite an impetus to min ing hereabouts will naturally re- suit. Benson is an ideal point for the treatment of custom ores and plenty of ore can be secured about the Dragoon range alone to keep this plant running for years.
 Democrat: According to an ad- vertisement in local Mexican paper. only Mexican miners are wanted in the Congress mines. As an inducement extra pay Is offered for underground work. This action on the part of the mine owners is being criticised, as 1t IS claimed that there are plenty of white miners who are looking for work. This is considered, how ever, as a direct slap at the unions and something further may be heard from the proposition.
 Globe Times: There is some talk of offering Mir. John Stanton the presidency of the Old Dom- inion-that is to say if the present management is turned down at the meeting next month. Another rumor in the same connection is being waited about, and is that the presidency may be offered to member of the firm of Phelps, Dodge x Co.,, as everybody knows is already interested in the dis trict. The latter rumor does not, however, seem to be a very vigor- ous one, nor is it likely that any prominent member of that firm would accept the presidency of Old Dominion unless he looked forward to merging it into the Phelps-Dodge properties.
 Star The gold fields of South ern Pima county are proving all the Star has been predicting for the last year. The Guijas, the Arivaca and the Orc Blanco dis tricts will prove the centers of much interest The gold proper ties which are being developed in those districts are proving to be of great value. The recent strike in the mines of the Consolidated Gold Mining company is only adding proof of the value of that region The gold districts of southern and western Pima county will receive more attention during the next few months than they have for many years in the past. The gold is there in veins as well as in placer fields.

by Professor II. J. Waters of the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college: Corn and
cob meal six pounds, wheat meal Ave
pounds, gluten or cottonseed meal

Several bulletins have been issued
In recent years both by the state eX-
pertinent station and the department
OF agriculture, calling particular at
tention to the graperoot worm which
has proved a most formidable foe to
the grape vineyards CT the great Chau-
tauqua belt in New York. The worm
has also made its appearance in other
gTape-growing sections of the country
and the total damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars every year. The
worst damage done by the worms is
to the roots Of the grapevine. The
beetles feed on the leaves of the vines,
but the grubs eat at the roots of the
vines until they gradually lost vital
ity and die. The appearance OF vine
thus attacked is puzzling to the grow
er, for there is no apparent reason for
its slow decay. The question of con-
trolling the past and exterminating 1t
is not one easy to solve. The young
grubs burrow into the soil, and their
lIesent there cannot easily be detected
until the vine has Eeen permanently
injured. One method Of limiting their
work is to destroy the beetles when
they make their appearance on the
leaves. They can be Jared from the
vine and destroyed once or twice a
week. and by this method far fewer
grubs will appear in the ground to in
iure the roots. The young grubs when
attacked move rapidly and disappear
In the ground. and it is almost impos-
sible to destroy them. Experiments
should be made by spraying the soil
under the vines with crude petroleum
oil or some insceticide. II is possible
that little precaution like this will
keep the grubs away from the roots II
II will not kill them. What is needed

II is very plainly seen that in the
rapid narrowing of the western cattle
ranges in public land by entry and set
tlement, that the increase of beef must
cCme from some other source. What
is It? As plainly It is a fact that this
increase must come through pure bred
cattle. The country can come to this
as certainly as It did to pure bred
swine, which Is the rule now, and not
the exception, as in beef cattle. Pure
blood will increase the beef supply
by making 1900 to 1400 cattle in "A
months, whereas such beef now re-
quires, as a rule, 36 months. That Is,
the same acres which now produce
feed stuffs for 1000 pounds of best will,
with pure cattle, produce 1900 pounds
Of beef, though growing no more grain
or forage. But another condition to-
ward which we are moving rapidly,
and which of course must add In q
marked measure to the additional in
crease in beef production, is that of
feeding balanced ration.-lndiana

quency. II is useless to blame 1t upon
the COW as SO many do. The ropiness
OF milk is caused by specific bacillus
In the milk or cream, which bacillus
Is brought out of streams and reaches
the milk first by either washing the

letting II get into the milk. The ba-
cillus once started strongly, will cling
to the milk vessels, the cream pitcher
or bottle indefinitely. unless they are
thoroughly cleansed each time after
using. And the only right way to do
this when the milk gets ropy is to sub
merge them all each time for not less
than five minutes In boiling water.

in not scaldinc out us 1t should be, the
receptacle you keep the milk In after
he brings IL to you. Milk never ropes
until Il has stood for several hours,
long enough to give the bacilli time
to get in their work
Unless we know exactly what and
where the milk comes from, as to the
health of the cows, and carefulness of
the dairyman, 1t is just as well to
pasteurize the milk ourselves. This Is
done by putting the vessel containing
IL into one containing water brought
TO and kent at a temperature of 155

stirring the milk often to distribute the
heat evenly TIN ough 1t. This temporu-
ture kills practically about all the dang
erous substances in 1t, and when cooled
still leaves 1t with the fresh milk flavor.
Running the heat higher will give il

Destruction of Weeds.

There are two classes of weeds
tnose that come from seeds and those
which are propagated principally by
means of their roots. Weeds which
spring up from seeds can be destroyed
by successfully bringing the seeds in
the soil to the surface, where they ger
inmate. The seeds Of some weeds have
great vitality and remain In the soil
Tor years. Some are enclosed in clods
and are retained for another season,
but when the clods are broken and
the weed seeds exposed TO warmth
near the surface, they are put out of
existence by the harrow as soon as
they germiante, for which reason it is
impossible to clear piece of land
from weeds In season unless every
clod is pulverized. The oft-repeated
inquiry: From whence come the
Geeds?' may be answered: From
the clods." The weeds that spring
from roots are cut up, checked and
prevented from growing by frequent
cultivation. because they cannot exist
for a great length Of time unless per-
mitted to grow. If no leaves are al
lowed in such plants they perish from
suffocatlon. because they breathe
through the agency of the leaves. The
advantages derived by the soil in the
work of weed destruction reduces the
cost of warfare on the weeds for ev-
cry time the harrow or cultivator is
used the manure is more intimately
mixed with the soil. more clods are
broken, greater proportion Of plant
food is offered to the roots. the loss
of moisture is lessened and the ca
pacity of the plants of the crop to Sc
cure more food Is increased. The
cost of the destruction of weeds should
! not be charged to the accounts of a
single year only, as thorough work
during the season may obliterate the
weeds entirely, or SO reduce their num-
her as to make the cost of their de-
| struction during succeeding years but
a trifle.-Pniladelphla Record.
