HASSAYAMPA PLACERS
They are to be Worked on an Exten
 siVe Scale.

After many years the Hassayampa Is going to be made to give up its gold en treasures. says the WickenDurg News Herald. The California Gold Re covery company is fast completing ar engagements to dredge the river bed anu work the rich bars in the neighborhood of the box canyon. They have been working quite q force of men in that section for some time past, and are now amply satisfied that the river bed and adjoining bars and gravelly mesas will yield rich returns-in fact. much richer than they supposed before testing. Tine company owns nineteen claims in and around the box canyon, on all of which number of large and small excavu, tiOns have been made. O. R. Arnold the president and general manager or the company. has been here for sons time in charge of the work. and states that every claim, wherever tested, was gold-bearing, running from ten to sev- enty-five cents yard. MT. Arnold will leave for California in about two weeks to complete the arrangements for the installation of their dredger and other necessary machinery. The following letter. which he received this week from G. w. Brown. secretary of the company, is self-explanatory:
 "1 have examined on my trip to San Francisco the different dredging ma chimes and outfits, and I find that q practical dredger, suitable and reliable for the purpose of working the river channel and mesas of the California Gold Recovery company, will cost about S6O.0O0. It is the only machine that we can rely upon to do the work. The to- tai weight will reach about 65 tons
 Buckets are attached to mammoth endless chain. It walks right into gravel beds as well as river channels at the rate of 500 cubic yards an hour. or l5,OOO cubic yards in a 24-hour day I have late information from Ophir Creek.

Their gravel runs Sl.OO a yard, no richer than ours should average, including :ne river bed where some places Undoubtedly run much higher.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day of two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This Is soon followed by a pc culiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hearse. or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dlspel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hu- lett, the live druggists.

TESTING AN EGG.

moved quietly from under the hen. She
need not be lifted off the nest, but the
hand can be passed under her and the
eggs taken away one by one. These
should be conveyed in basket into a
room lighted only by one lamp.
The cardboard, with the dark side
toward the observer, should then be
held up against the lamp, as shown in
the cut, and the eggs one after another
should be held against the hole and
the light looked at through them. If
they appear unchanged and look like a
fresh egg, they are barren and should
be put on one side. Those eggs with
chickens in them, the only ones which
will hatch, are perfectly Opaque at the
end of week except at the larger end,
where the air space exists. This opaci-
ty is caused by the blood vessels which
at that period of the Matching line the
shell, extending all over It's interior ex-
cepting at the air space.
Now, supposing that between thirty
and forty eggs have been set under the
three hens and that owing to any cause
a half or third of them are sterile, it
will obviously be of advantage to place
the fertile Opaque eggs under two of
the hens and to give a fresh sitting to
the third In this way the services of
a broody hen are utilized and good
clutches of chickens are much more
likely to be insured.
There is no use in allowing hen to
sit upon a number of barren eggs. If
she breaks one near the period of
Matching, the contents cover the others
and foul the nest and interfere greatly
with the due Matching of the chickens.

need it. The photo shows that ours are
SO placed, and it is not necessary to
move from one to the other while fill
ing. This is not only saving of time,
but allows one to get much more for
age into a given space, as it has time
to settle. | believe that every one is
agreed that enSilage corn must have
cultivation and light and not be plant
ed too thick. But l believe that it is
not settled that grain in the silo is of
as much value as the same grain dried
and fed as grain. My experience leads
me to believe that by chemical action
or by some unknown cause to me, at
least, the corn put into the SilO with
the stalks is not of as much value as
the same would be if dried, ground and
fed as grain. This subject our expert
ment stations should investigate more
fully.
We are so well convinced of this that
this spring we shall plant and raise as
good a crop of field corn as we can,
striving especially to raise large
quantity of grain, remove the ears and
cut the stalks into the silos. If it
proves failure, we will let the read
ers of this paper know why. But we
don't intend that it shall prove wrong.
On the contrary, we believe it a decid
ed step in advance, the serious ques-
ton being how to get the stalks into
good ensilage if put in as dry as they
must be if left long enough to mature
the grain. Our idea is to have plenty
of ensilage for winter feed, enough for
summer and some left over. We will
do away entirely with green forage
crops. as they cost too much labor and
do not produce enough per acre.

SPOTTY, THE SPORT.


One of the Amusing Experiences OF
Poultry Keeping.
When we rented our house, we didn't
expect to keep chickens, but our land
lord was moving out Of town, and after
he had his chickens cooped he found
there wasn't room in the car, so father
bought them.
There were a black Minorca, two
Plymouth Rocks, a Light Brahma, a
Leghorn and a crossbred-a black hen
with just a few white feathers and a
rose comb. We called her Spotty.
One day, when we were getting set.
tied in our new home, Spotty walked
in through the kitchen door, and we
found her eating crumbs in the pantry
and an egg under the shelf
The next day, when it was raining
and the door shut, we heard something
tapping on the window and found Spot
ty flying against it. We were afraid
she might break the glass, so mother
told me to serfd her away, but before
could close the door she was in and
making for the pantry again.
We thought her so wise that we let
her alone. and she laid in the pantry
until she began to mott. Whenever
the door was closed she came to the
window. I never saw an uglier hen
than old Spotty when she was molting.
She was ragged, bare necked and pin
feathery all at once, but we were go
ing to school then and didn't know
when she stopped molting, though ia
Their said once that Spotty seemed to
be spotted with black instead of white,
as at first. About Thanksgiving time
father wanted to sell some chickens.
and mother told him to sell the lightest
ones, especially one which was nearly
white. When he came in, he said: my
dear, there is beautiful snowy white
pullet in the chicken house with rose
comb. Where do you think she came
from?" Stella had been reading poul-
try papers, and she said at once that
it was sport; that Barred Plymouth
Rocks sometimes sported white chick
ems.
AS we were half mile from neigh
Dor, father thought that was right,
until one rainy day we heard a tapping
on the window and found the white
pullet in Spotty's familiar place. Then
every one remembered that with the
increased number of chickens from the
summer hatch Spotty had been lost
sight of and the snowy white puIlet

Ideas That Are Good For the Swine

Ideas That Are Good For the Swine
Raiser and His Herd.
George, in Farm Journal, says:
1t is a good idea, and one the hogs
will like, to throw over to them every
week or so a few freshly cut sods dur
ing the winter, when they can find lit
tie opportunity for roofing about. The
fresh earth is good for them, and they
will not fail to show their apprecia-
ton Of the treat.
There is no great secret of success
in swine raising-a good, warm, dry,
well ventilated hoghouse and pure wa
ter for all seasons, good pasture for
spring, summer and fall and a variety
of feed for winter, with thrifty, strong
pigs, and success is yours.
We must keep the fattening pigs
warm. If they are kept in cold pen
or allowed to run out in cold weather,
at least 25 per cent more food will be
required to produce a given gain.
The squealing pig, with staring coat
and bumped back, who crowds and
pushes in the steamy nest for a warm
place, is surely losing money for his
careless owner.
1t does not injure a well nurtured,
mature sow to give birth to two filters
of pigs each year.
Two hundred pounds is good mar
ket weight, and do not have the pigs
too fat

HOW to Cook Rice

Wash the rice thoroughly in cold wa
ter. The amount of water used in
cooking rice should be sufficient to COW
er it and rise about an inch above it
in the cooking vessel. Use cold water
always and let it come to the boiling
point gradually over fire of medium
intensity. When it begins to boil thor
oughly, remove the vessel to the back
part of the stove or where it may be
kept steaming for about fifteen min
utes, when it will be sufficiently cook
ed. This will be manifested by it's be-
ing slightly scorched on the bottom.
The vessel used must be provided with
cover which fits perfectly tight. A
thick iron pot is the best. Put no salt
into the rice or water while cooking.
The allowance of time for cooking the
rice should be forty-five minutes
twenty minutes for it to come to the
boiling point and twenty-five minutes
for steaming.

AN EGG TESTER.

Easily Made, Costs Nothing and
Serves a Good Purpose.
The desirability Of setting two or
three hens on the same day and exam
lining the eggs at the end of week to
see which of them are fertile and
which sterile is urged by W. B. Leget-
meier, an eminent English poultry au-
thority. OF numerous instruments ad-
vertised under the names of ovascopes
and egg testers he finds none superior
and few equal to one that can be made
without the slightest cost as follows:
A piece of common cardboard, such
as an old book cover, should be taken
and an oval hole cut in the center not
quite large enough to allow an egg to
pass through. The cardboard is more
conveniently used if it is dark or color
ed on one side. Supposing as should
always be the case, that two or three
hens are set on the same day, on the
evening of the same day of the fol-
lowing week the eggs should be re-

knows he can get out of the ropes that

When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about

folly of mankind is to passively submit

MAPLE SUGAR MAKING.
Which Side of Tree Gives the Mos
Saps-A Tree In the Open.

Which Side of Tree Gives the Most
Saps-A Tree In the Open.
Which side of maple tree gives the
most sap?
At the Vermont station in 1901 four
trees were selected and tapped at the
usual height on the north, south, east
and west sides. The trees represented
as nearly as possible all conditions of
exposure. AS to the results, expressed
in pounds of sugar, the difference in
favor of south and east sides of tree
is quite pronounced, amounting to
three-tenths of a pound. Similar trials
comparing north and south tapping,
made in 1899 and 1900, also give re-
suits that favor the south side.
On typical sap days it seems unques-
tionably true that a south exposure
will yield the most sap. On a cloudy
day, when all sides of tree warm up
equally fast, it is more nearly an even
thing.
A review of the figures also calls at
tention to remarkable difference be-
tween trees. No. 4, from which the
greatest yield of the richest sap was
obtained, was a large, vigorous tree
standing in the open. AS Is well known,
such trees give large amounts of rich
sap. This is due to the increased leaf
area and full exposure to sunlight. The
green leaves in sunlight during the
summer season make starch from ma
ferialS gathered from air and soil This
starch is stored throughout the tree
and is the source of sugar in the
spring. Sunlight, exposure and leaf
area are therefore important factors in
maple sugar production.
The percentage of sugar in sap from
different sides of the same tree is
found to vary but slightly.
