Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter

New York, March 20.-While the stock market continued professional. 1t was strong throughout, such reactions as oc- cured being trivial In extent as com pared with the magnitude of recent i'm provement. There were no new develop ments of importance, but tendency of the market toward ease was sufficient to spurt various pools and large financial interests to fresh aggressiveness. In the railroad list Rock Island advanced mate rially on rumors that plans of present manager contemplated valuable rights in the future for stockholders. St. Paul ad- yanced over one point and this move- ment had considerable influence upon sentiment, notwithstanding later conces- sions in the stock. There were sharp ad- vances in Frisco issues and Nickel Plate. Other strong features included Louisville and Nashville, Southern Pacific common and Colorado Southern and Rutland pre- ferred. The more sensational movements were made by special issues. Colorado Fuel and Iron rose 5 points, showing more stability than at any time since the upward movement began Tennessee Coal and Iron rose over a point in sym pathy, but United States Steel stocks only held their own. Peoples Gas ad- vanced over a point on confident expec- tations of favorable outcome of itiga- ton against it. Corn product stocks moved up sharply. Copper was strong, advancing 1ss. but later lost the fraction. Sugar gained IF on buying based on the favorable showing of the company in its report yesterday to Massachusetts state authorities. General Electric in late deal ings lost per cent on profit taking, and paper rose 8 per cent Brooklyn was strong. The market closed with some irregular features, but strong. Total sales 5S5,00V.

the grass is dry or scanty. In
the winter they are stabbed at

covered yards, which are we'll

'cess to water. Since the intro
duction Of the Babcock test a
careful record has been kept of
the amount of butter lat produ-
ced by the herd. Each cows

a week a sample OF equal amounts
of night ard morning milk is
taken. The perc, ntage of fat in
this <amplr, multiplied by the
number of pounds of mi'h given

represent the lumber of pounds
of fat produced during that week.
In this way most accurate basis
was for med for the selection of
individuals whose progeny in
turn would be placed in the dairy.
The large average of $500
pounds of milk for an entire herd
meant that many animals we've
discarded because of their in.
ability to come up to certain
standard. All animals whose

with intelligent feeding. The
most c. mmon error is that Of

time OF life never make profitable
pork. One should handle his
hogs so as to have them ready

the fac, that corn is frequently

Subscriber, Hunter, Miss.-Is
there any grass that will hill out
white clover2 OF what value is
white clover?
Answer.-It is rare to find
anyone wanting white clover ! i'll
ed out.
Once we'll about on a farm. it's
seed is there in perpetuity ready,
when the conditions are favora-
BILE, to germinate and do good,
and good only.
The properly made and cared
for meadow is not hurt by it,
and we have not yet seen a pas
ture to the value of which it did
not add.
Certainly whenever bluegrass
is pastured too heavily white
clover comes to it's relief and
supplies good grazing during the
dryer months of summer"
White clover is said to be rich
err in nutritive qualities than even
bluegrass, and a large part of the
choicest honey is gathered from
it's blossoms.
No grass will kill out white
clover unless il is a grass of dense
growth and tall during the great
err part of the growing season.
We know of no useful grass that
exactly fills the bill.
Bluegrass properly managed
and on just the right sort of soil
comes as near to choking out
every different pasture plant as
INV other species of grass.-Ex.

The complicated female organism is
so delicately adjusted as to be easily
thrown out of balance. AS result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup
piled in greater measure with the ele-
ment-iron-that gives strength. The
reason women feel tired and worn out
and suffer from headache, pains in the
back and limbs, etc., is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused
by lack of iron.

The author of the bulletin calls
attention to the fact that re-

pounds of gain, this in one
instance being as low as 439 lbs.

third to one-f alf the food that
was required by fattening steers.
These calves at the end of the
experiment, averaged a tr.tle over
$40 apiece, which is splendid
showing for tive We months

that for equal weight and quality
the packers will pay as much for
fat year.old heifers as they will
for steers at the same age, and
this is the only time in the
heifer's life when she will bring
AS much, pound for pound, as a
steer. The author says that the
production of baby beef gives
quick returns on the investment.
The farmer who raises anu
ldttens mature steers has to
furnish pasture for his cows, the
yearlings, the two year olds and
often for the three year old steers.
He wits three years from the
time the calf is born until &c

can fill his pasture to the full

tion paid very handsomely, but the process was not successful in saving all the values. The tailings dump has been bought by a Mexican who is now working it over with dry washers. He had in operation about eight machines, and he in- formed me that he is now running the dump a second time through. The first run yielded fifty odarmes daily of free gold. (An adarme is about a pennyweight.) The second run is now yielding thirty adarmes daily. The cost of labor does not exceed twenty-five Mexican dollars daily. So it can be readily calcul- ated that with daily production of thirty dollars gold he is making good money; and the first run was very profitable. A third run will also be likely to prove profitable.
 Coming out from the camp we made up over road across the saddle between Cerro Colorado and lower elevation to the north thereof Coming the day before we had passed around the lower mountain.) All the way across there was visible marked differ ence in the formations. The Cerro Colorado is a yellow limestone for mation-the other a blue shale. The difference was first noticeable in little gully which led up at the side of the road. Upon one side the wall was yellow, upon the other it was blue. At the head of the gully the two formations came to- gether and continued across the saddle, the dividing line being as plainly marked as if the surface had been carefully painted with brushes.

ores. MT. Hanley is a gentleman of wide experience in mining in Utah, Idaho and Alaska, and ii conditions are favorable he will make of the Cerro Colorado one of the big mines in Mexico.
 The Cerro Colorado (Red Noun tain) is one of the most conspicuous peaks in the entire region. It towers above the surrounding re- zion to great height, and is visi- ble from long distances in all directions. Upon the west side of the mountain an immense porphyry dike has been thrust up through the limestone about two-thirds of the way to the summit, and is a most conspicuous feature of the mountain. This dyke is about 5000 feet in length and 1000 feet in width, and it stands out above the side of the mountain to height of several hundred feet. It is said to be all mineralized. The ores ex- tracted have milled about $14 gold to the ton, but it is believed that the entire mass, aggregating mil lions of tons, will mill $5 to $6. Whether it will is the object of Mir. Hanley's tests now being made. The ores are of two varieties-one a soft, white rock; the other reddish in cast. Neither would be taken by a miner to carry value, but practical working through many years has demonstrated that they do, the values being in free gold disseminated through the rock in fine particles. When the tests have proved satisfactory a big mill will be erected on the flat below, and a pipe line will be laid from the Magdalena river, near Las Trinche- ras, thirty milesaeastward, or from

La Cienega, eight miles west, and a big pumping plant will supply all the water necessary.
 The side of the mountain has been the site of extensive placer workings, and the old dumps and excavations may be seen in all directions, extending from the flat below all the way up to the dyke. In the dyke the tunnels through which the mine has been worked are plainly visible. A winding road goes up the mountain side to the workings, and in all it's wind ings and turnings itis nearly three fourths of mile in length, and quite steep.
 At Cerro Colorado there is 10- stamp mill which was erected some years ago by a company which then operated El Tiro and some other properties. hauling the ore down from that camp. The opera
