Bisbee daily review., 1903-04-01

In estimating the future importance and growth of Bisbee it must not be overlooked that much of it's support in the future will come from the mining enterprises in the state of Sonora, across the border line. Already we are receiving an important trade from that section. The known mineral wealth of Sonora is an assurance that our present trade from that country is a mere bagatelle when compared to what 1t will be when the real work of developing the rich copper, god and silver mines of Sonora shall be under taken on the scale commensurate with their value. The extension of the Ma cosari branch of the Fl Paso & South western railroad to Nacosari and be yond and the extension of the Cana nea railroad 70 the coast as announced by Mr. ". c. Greene, will stimulate the mining industry and bring an enor- nous trade to Bisbee and also 10 our neighboring city of Douglas. It be hooves our business men 10 devote some of their energies in the direction of tuitiystirg a friendly relation with our neighbors across the border as il will not be long until they be in a position to give us much desirable pat ronage.

Bis5ee is without any organization, whatever, of its business men, and such a condition is an anomaly in 9 city of such vast commercial interests and where there are so many wide awake business men.

We be- lieve our business men have simply been slow in taking this matter up and that none of them would question the advisability of organizing a merchants exchange or something of the kind. E Paso has received many benefits in extending the business of that city through the work of it's chamber of commerce.

cans who would jump at the chance to send delegate to the national conven- tion opposed to making Roosevelt president, perhaps not on account of any dislike of him or the policies pur- sued by him, but as a means for hu- imiliating Gov. Brodie and his official family.
 Some of the Presidential appointees in Arizona hay stated that they eXpec- ed fight from the Murphys in oppo- sition to Q pledged Roosevelt delega- tion from Arizona. Governor Bro die and his administration forces ought to be able to control the situa- tion if they are not divided among themselves: any friction among ibe federal appointees would probably re- suit in a Murphy victory. Duing the recent session of the legislature the relations between the governor and the territorial secretary was strained on account of the Cowan bill. The Murphy crowd includes the real republican political workers in Ari- zona and with wise leadership might win out if they saw fit to make fight on Roosevelt. Roosevelt's attitude On the omnibus statehood bill should be enough to insure opposition from every territorial delegate to the Aa- tional convention. There is work to be done in the west to insure smooth sailing for the Rough Rider and it is now well understood that that is the purpose of his coming.

TO OVERCCME E OPPOSITION.

It is now cutie apparent that the western trip of President Roosevelt was planned to give him an opportUni- ty to overcome by his personal pres ence a well known opposition to his reDominstion in some of the states through which he will make a pilgrim age. There is serious trouble in the northwest. James B.IHill, the great railroad magnate. is at the head Of the opposition, and he wields a powerful
 influence in the states traversed by his
 great railroad system. Hill is ugly and giving the friends Of the President much worry and uneasiness. h the state of Missouri the entire republican party machinery is in the hands Of Richard c. KerTens, whom Roosevelt has humiliated more than once since he has been in the White House. If Kerrens and his friends should de tide to send a delegation from thai state who would be ready to support an opponent of the President it could no doubt be arranged by the aid rf the machine, at the opperaton oi which MT.

We would have her tame, SO we can go
about her, handle her pigs if cold and be on
hand at narrowing time, for this means saw
ing pigs, which is what you have kept and
fed your mother pig for; few hours spent
here at this time may mean good many
dollars to YOU We would feed her after
narrowing, one quart of bran in one gallon
of water, and in twelve hours two quarts
of BRAN For mixed feed, we add little
ground oats and shorts, increasing the guam
tity of the different feeds as her pigs get
older, but at slow rate, for there is much
danger of feeding your pigs to death the
first few weeks of their life. We expect to
get her on full feed at ten days or two
weeks. But keep your eye on your little
pigs. After they are three or four weeks
we put some feed for them and as weaving
time comes we have them on good road
for finding, taking the milk producing feed
from the SOW for a few days before we
take her from the pigs. When we wean
her, we take her away twelve hours and
turn her back to the pigs, then keep her
away twenty-four hours, then longer. By
doing this we have never had trouble with
the sow.

Poultry Notes.

Where but a smll amount of room is avail
able for keeping poultry, pen or two OF
bantams might be introduced with profit.
very tiny house will accommodate the little
birds.
Eggs are cash bringers the year round and
if flock of hens is managed rightly they
can be made to produce eggs when few
dozen of them will bring snug little sum.
If the hens or young chicks are yarded.
do not forget to provide them liberal sup
ply of green stuff every day. 1t will save
grain and help to make mixed ration.
1t is the lazy fat hen that is an Indifferent
layer If such hens are compelled to work
for their feed they will soon be laying
If man knows ducks and has suitable
range for them with pond of clean water
containing aquatic animal and vegetable
life, ducks can be raised at little cost.
Take good care of the young poultry. %
lose chick by carelessness is like letting
money be lost through neglecting hole III
the pocket, and just as useless.
Some shippers to private customers go SO
far as to have little paddock on every crate
of eggs they send out and claim 1t is help
in holding customers.
Clean quarters and fresh water every day
will add to the comfort of the hens. See
to it that they have both.
Poultry is susceptible in kind treatment
and good keeping as any kind of stock.
He who fears drudgery will fall short OF
success.

THE FARMER
(J. M. Richardson.)

His calling's good, his profits high,
Of all pursuits by man invented,
The farmers makes the best contented.
And on his labors all rely.
Mechanics all by him are fed,
Of him the merchant seeks his bread;
His hand gives meat to every thing,
Up from the beggar to the king.
The milk and honey, corn and wheat,
Are by his labors made complete.
Our clothes from him must first arise,
To deck the fop, and dress the wise
We then by vote may justly state,
The farmers rank among the great
More independent than them all,
That dwell upon the earthly ball.
All hail! We farmers, young and old;
Push on your plough with courage bold;
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your independence from your God.
Since, then, the plough supports the nation,
And men or rank and every station,
Let kings to farmers make bow,
And every man procure plough.

It is not so much the amount of milk the
butter maker wants, as it is the quality A
good way of determining whether or not the
COW is giving profitable amount OF milk for
butter making is to test by the churn Keep
her milk and cream separate and churn, and
the amount of butter secured will fully settle
the question This is an old-fashioned
method that can be pursued, but we would
suggest that in place of this pair Of scales
and "Babcock" tester be purchased and put
into frequent use, in testing the dairy COWS
from time to time.

Size of Flocks.

One male and fifteen females of the small
breeds made fair sized flock, but if the
large breeds are kept, the male and twelve
females make correct number. For such
focks poultry house ten by sixteen, or
twelve by twelve feet will not be too large,
as there will be more eggs secured when the
birds have plenty of room. There should
be ample space for each fowl on the roost-
at least one lineal foot of roost for each
in order to guard against excessive heat
in the summer.

Feed and Care of the Mother Pig.

Feed and Care OF the Mother rig.
We would have the mother pig to be from
a good family, some one that has proven
it's worth by the success it has in quality
and number of pigs, show record, etc. She
must be from dam that is prolific and that
natures her young early and rapidly. We
would furnish her with ample room to take
exercise on grass of some kind, either clover
or June grass. If by chance we did not have
them, we would SOW oats and peas, three
bushels of oats and one of peas to the acre,
and divide plat into three lots, sowing at
different dates. In this way we NAV have
this pasture tender, pasturing in lot one
first, and SO on throughout the three lots,
then back to lot one. In this way you may
furnish pasture for large number of hogs
on very few acres of grass. We would
have her not to take on too much flesh,
so as to make her butter fat, but have her
in condition so that she looks pleasing to
the eve We would advise breeders and
feeders to keep their hogs in this state
flesh that they may be able to head off any
disease that Our hogs are so apt to get. They
are in shape that the stock buyers will take
them at the top price at any time We
would feed to grow bone and muscle such
as oats and corn meal and half shorts. The
amount to feed depends on circumstances.
as some hogs require more than others.
Just few words as to her shape: We
would have her not too big in body so as
to cause her to sag in the back; she should
be wide in back, deep in ham, wide between
the eyes and ears, short nose. short legs.
and strong in feet We would not breed
until twelve months old then she has grow
ing muscle, bone and shape which she will
carry throughout She may get thin from
sucking pigs, but just as soon as she puts
on flesh again she is as nice as ever Not so
with the SOW bred at eight months old she
may have as nice shape at that age as the
other sow at twelve months. but the bone
has not matured enough and the extra work
you force on her growing her pigs has de-
prived her of her shape, but we don't claim
that it keeps her from making good breed
er, yet shape has great influence over the
purchasers that may be looking at your herd
of hogs. In many instances it has meant
dollars and cents to us.
We would make her home that she
could call her own and near the time she is
TO farrow. would keep her by herself, at
least week, but allow her place to run.

A few years ago there was fad to make
sweet butter from sweet cream but 1t was
short lived Good sweet butter can only be
made from sour cream, and although every
thing else may be right, choice butter cannot
be made if the cream is allowed to become
too sour. Butter made from cream that is
too sour will rapidly deterorate in flavor.
The cream must be just right to make good
butter.

Cans used for the return of skim milk or
whey should be emptied and cleaned as
soon as they arrive at the farm.
Clean all dairy utensils by first thorough
ly rinsing them in warm water then clean
inside and out with brush and hot water
in which cleaning material is dissolved !;
then rinse and lastly sterilize by boiling
water or steam. Use pure water only.
After cleaning keep utensils, inverted, in
pure air, and sun if possible, until wanted
for use.

requirements.

One often hears much talk about the ne
cessity of keeping all utensils about the
dairy sweet, and nothing about pure air.
