TRICKS FOR HORSES.
The Animals are Easily Taught and
Quick to Learn.

There are so many things that q
horse can be taught to do, says Sue
cess. that it is hard to tell Whih to
select as best illustrating the methods
by which we teach them. The follow.
| ing, however, will furnish the key:
! Take pin in your hand, and, stand
ing abreast of a horses near Shout
der, prick him lightly on the breast
| This resembles the bite of a fly, and
! to drive off the nuisance he will bring
down his nose to his breast This you
accept as Yes" and Immediately re-
ward him by feeding him lump Of
sugar or some other triiie that ne likes
Re peat the operation ill he brings
COVE his head at the slightest move
BY degrees you can substitute 4 simple
downward movement of the hand,
Mhoh il less noticeable = an onlook-
er. Int equally effective.
J Standing in the same position. prick
him lightly with pin on the top of his
/ neck. He will at once shake his head
which is accepted as NO" then re-
ward him as before Repeat this until
he shakes his head at the least upward
movement of the hand. This signal,
, as he learns his lesson more perfectly
! can be gradually lessened until it is
/ very slight indeed. To say Yes" or
mo" is a very simple trick. and yet
there is none that shows to better adj
vantage. OF course when n horse has
thoroughly learned 10 obey the signals
you can ask him some questions and
then, by the motion of your hand.
make him say Yes or No" as you
please.
I To teach horse to shake hands. fas-
! ten a short strap to one fore foot below
the fetlock. Then, standing in front of
! the horse and having the strap in your
hand. say. Shake hands" and imme-
diately pull up his foot and take it in
your hand. Then, still holding the foot,
reward and caress him exactly as you
would if he had given it to you Of his
own accord. Keep repeating the oper-
alton. being careful to reward him only
while his foot is in your hand. He will
very soon learn to give you his foot
the moment you reach your hand to-
ward it.
To teach a horse to lie down at
word of command first select good,
smooth piece of greensward, where he
will not hurt himself. Harness him
with a surcingle and bride and strap
up his off fore foot. A common breech-
ing strap is best for this, the short
loop around his foot between the fet-
lock and the hoof and the long one
around his forearm. Fasten one end
of a strap to the near fore foot below
the fetlock. pass the other end up
through the surcingle and take it in
your right hand and the bride rein in
your left hand. Push him slightly, and
the moment he steps pull sharply on
the strap.
This of course will bring him to his

A Great Project.

Bill Williams Fork of the Colorado river, which is the dividing line be- tween Yuma and Mohave counties, is to be the scene of another vast irriga- tion enterprise, the preliminary sur veys having already been made. The project contemplates the construction of an immense dam across Bill Williams Fork at point below great box can von. The water above the dam can then be conveyed by means of tunnel over an immense tract of rich agricul- tural land by gravity, and it is also in- tended to furnish an endless water sup ply for extensive placer mining opera Cians in the Harcuvar district. These placers have been known and worked for many years by dry washing. In fact there is little doubt that their workings were carried on by aboriginal miners, probably the Aztecs, hundreds of years ago. With plentiful supply of water these placers will undoubtedly give up millions in the future to where they have yielded dollars under the crude dry washing process, as they are very rich and cover large area.

Two Very Important industries.

While it may seem broad statement it is probably true that our railroads, with their immense capitalization and army of employees, form one of the most important industries of the coun- try. The other very important indus try is the manufacture of that celebrat- ed family medicine, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters. It is compounded with the greatest care and contains nothing that would injure the most delicate system. It is backed by record of fifty years of cures of sick headache, indigestion, fatulency, belching, dys- pepsia, liver and kidney troubles, and malaria, fever and ague. It is splen- did spring medicine and blood purifier, and as tonic for the rundown system it is unequaled. Try it. Our private stamp is over the neck of the bottle.

Biz Arizona Counties.

Cautiously enough the impression still prevails in many portions of the east that Arizona is only an insignificant match of desert in the southwestern corner of the union. And our own peo- pie are so familiar with our magnlfl- cent distances that they do not realize that in reality Arizona is large enough and rich enough in natural resources to make several states. 1t is interest ing, therefore, to note the great area of the several counties.
 Apache county extends AS miles cast and west and 240 miles north and south.
 The greatest length of COconino county is lS5 miles, and its greater width 40 miles It is larger than the combined states of Vermont, Massa- ehusetts and Delaware, having an area of 19,3 ,322 square miles.
 Gila, one of the smaller counties, has an area of 4,542 square miles.
 Cochise county is s miles north and south by S4 miles east and west, and has an area of 6, 147 square miles, being slightly larger than the combined areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Graham county has $500 square miles.
 Maricopa county has 8,Sl6 square miles and is slightly larger than Mass achusetts.
 Mohave county has an area Of lJ,42l square miles.
 Navajo county is 24O miles long, B miles wide and comprises 9,626 square miles, nearly equal to the area of Mary land.
 Pima county contains an area Of9 "A square miles.
 Pinal county has 5,326 square miles.
 Santa Cruz, the smallest county, con- tains 1,212 square miles, about equal to the area of Rhode Island.
 Yavapai county cOuntains 1865 square miles, or an area larger than that Of New Jersey.
 Yuma county has 9.7s3 square miles. Phoenix Republican.
