THE BISBEE TOWNSHIP
 STILL BEING CONTESTED

Attorney ThOS. D. Bennett, assist ant United States attorney during R. E. Mt'rrisOn's term as United States attorney, has filed in the Tucson land office an adverse opinion against the Bisbe's tOwnsite application. Attorney Bennett represents the Copper Rock
 S Gold Quartz Mining company, whose adverse claim is made on account of a dozen mining claims being located on the townsite.
 The town authorities of Bisbee are publishing notice of the making of final proof on April 20, 1901, on the townsite of 300 acres. The action Of the above mining company will stop proceedings as far as the issuance of final papers is concerned and until matters are settled in the courts, but will not prevent the mayor and coun- ell from submitting the final proofs of the townsite. This will not be the final action, as the courts will first act on the adverse claim and townsite.
 Former Probate Judge c. B. Bost- wick's first action to secure the town site was dismissed. He filed a protest recently against tine Bisbee townsite, giving as reason that the towDSite is using nis surveys without compensa- tion. .--Citizen.

STRICT DISCIPLINE NEEDED

The University of Arizona Is again passing through one of those periods of internal strife which have given to the institution unenviable potoriety. There seems to have been very for midaole insurrection against the execu tive head of the university, Dr. Bab- cock, in which a professor, B. F. Stacey, appears in a bad light, as incit' ing the students to rebellion, and what is worse, by his example and influence, corrupting their morals. Stacey denies having encouraged Iusubordination but admits having visited saloons and houses vi prostitution on two different occa- sions, and the Citizen states that he was accompanied on one of these rounds by students of the university.
 The only defence offered in behalf of this Lothsrio Is that he was study Ing the social evil and saloon ques. tion" On the first "whirl" the pro. lessor, who is so enamored, of duty that he could not shirk the task, how ever repugnant, of inspecting the dens of iniquity which flourish in the old pueblo, was accompanied by A visitor from the University of California, who had come from Berkeley upon invita- ton of the territorial university author ities to institute A chapter of college fraternity. Taking in che red light district of the town appears to have been part of the program, if not of the initiation.
 MT. Stacey was dismissed, but not until some time after the second offsnse had been committed Then some of the more unruly spirits among the stu dents, resenting the dismissal of Stacey, indulged in general insubordinstion. Among the ringleaders of the revolt was an Englishman by the name of Millington, twenty seven years of age, who was also dismissed and ordered to leave the university grounds This he refused to do, and he was arrested on charge of trespass, tried in justice court. found guilty and fined. A num- Der of other university students were suspended.
 While we approve the course taken by Dr. Babcock and the discipline committee in dismissing Stacey and Millington, nevertheless it is our opin- ion that the scandal might have been suppressed and order restored in the university without the serions conse- quences which have ensued, had those in auth rity been more prompt and vigorous in dealing with the meters of the trouble. Leniency Tn such an emergency is an evidence of weak ness that is very apt to be destructive of discipline, as it appears to have been in this instance. Far better to have erred on the side of severity. Without the full recognition of the president as being the supreme head of the univer- sity and the complete willingness of the students to accord him the respect that his position entities him to, there can be no harmony or progress.

Give the Boys Poultry.

AS usual there is loud complaint
from farmers that the children brought
up on the farm are getting uneasy and
want to try their wings elsewhere.
This is not to be wondered at when
these young people hear and read OF
what Is going on in the world. The
monotony of country life seems un-
bearable to them, especially when
from the farm they obtain only plenty
of hard work, the food they eat and
the clothes they wear. True, one may
say that is about all any one gets out
of life, but II we can plan some way
by which the younger people can make
start for themselves they will be
much more contented.
Poultry offers a way of trying out
the feeling of the young folks at small
expense. Give them chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use and in year or two they will
have eecome reconciled to country life

Exhibiting Crops.

Any farmer who will religiously fol-
low his county fairs from year to year
will observe the opportunities there to
make a reputation If he can grow one
particular crop better than another.
AS everyone knows, one soil worker
is an expert potato grover, another
raises prize swine, another understands
corn better than other crops, and so
on.
Let each one take a specimen OF
that which he can grow best to the
county fair and exhibit. Possibly he
may not win prize, but he will have
a chance to see what others are de-
ing and thus ascertain his own short
comings. Again, his exhibit may at
tract the attention Of some one who
wants just the product he produces and
a profitable business is worked up.
The educational advantages OF the
county fair ought net to be overlooked
and ehfamily should be taken to ev-
cry one that can be reached at a mod
crate cost. Get out into the world and
see what other farmers are doing; one
will find them willing to talk and one
may get enough good ideas at a single
fair TO pay for the expense of attend
ance 20 times over. Bear this item
in mind as the fairs begin next month
and in September.

Wheat for Eatteninn pos.

There are q number of states, nota-
bly, in the west, where corn cannot be
grown, but where wheat thrives. Con-
sidering the comparatively low price
that prevails and has prevailed for q
number of years for wheat, can this
grain be successfully fed hogs? A
number of farmers have asked this
question, and recently an experiment
was performed at the Oregon expert
ment station for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the value of wheat as a pig
feed. Oregon is a state where corn
cannot be grown except in favored
sections, and have seen corn thrown
to hogs there and the swine would run
from it. 1t was indeed like casting
pearls before swine" But wheat
Well, the results of the experiment
was such as to settle fully the ques-
tion of whether wheat could produce
pork equal in quality to corn-fed pork
The fat of wheat-fed hogs is very
heavy and thick, and firm in texture
The lean meat is very juicy and light
in color. AS to the rates of grain pro-
duced, the results will compare very
favorably with any experiment ever
performed by corn feeding. Some
farmers mix oats, with wheat, chop
ping the two, and feeding it to the
pigs in this way. 1t has been found
that it is not advisable to do this. Pigs
do not like the coarse hulls which are
present in such abundance in chopped
oats Chnpned what alona proyac IN

erage, and when fed judiciously there
are 13 pounds of gain for each bushel
of wheat fed. From this 1t can easily
be seen that the western farmer who
Is obliged to sell his wheat for 38 or
even So cents a bushel, could much
better feed 1t to his hogs. Pigs should
be fed slops from the kitchen for a
while previous to the beginning of
the wheat ration. They should not
be allowed to run at large, but should
be confined to pen connected with o
small lot, to which the pigs can have
daily access. Each ration should be
weighed out and allowed to soak till
the next time for feeding. handful
OF salt should be added each feed, and
double handful Of charcoal fed twice
each week. The breed of pigs used In
the particular experiment referred to
above, were Poland Chinas and Berk-
shires, the Berkshires predominating.

his patronage from the school, which
accordingly comes to an end.

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
only one Pair Was Ever Made and

A report comes from Copenhagen
that q great rat hunt has been or
ganized there and that the skins of
many thousands of the victims are to
be used in making gloves. If the rat
hunters in the Danish capital cherish
rny such hopes they are doomed to

only some six inches long, and he held

such glove out of rat skin.
Then he took up the smallest kid
skin for lady's glove, eleven inches

to boil them down for glue.
A famous glove making firm has a
collection of curiosities relating to
the trade, and one of them is the larg.
est pair of gloves ever made out of
rat skin. The belief that such skins
could be made into gloves was laid
before the managers so confidently
that they resolved to put 1t to the
trial, and they ordered a number of
the skins of the largest rats which
could be found in Grimsby. But the
rat is a fighting animal. and bears
the marks of many battles on his body
and 1t was found that the skins were
so SCARED and torn that it was with
the utmost difficulty that perfect
pieces large enough for the purpose
could. be obtained. In the end, after
ten skins had been used, a pair of
gloves was cut and made. and they
are retained in the collection to this
day. But they are so small that they
would not fit the smallest of small
boys. Thus it was shown that, how.
ever cheaply rat skins might be OBJ
tanned, they would offer no advantages
to the glove maker. The rabbit skin
Is equally useless for this purpose,
