An Early Riser.

A strong healthy active constitution
depends largely on the condition of the
liver. The famous little pills known as
DeWitt's Little Early Risers not only
cleanse the system but they strengthen
tissues supporting that organ. Little
Early Risers are easy to act, they never
grippe and yet they are absolutely GER
tain to produce results that are satisfae
tory in all cases. Sold by ALERT & Co.

Manure From Different Animals.

Here are some very interesting facts
of the comparative value of manure OF
the different breeds of domestic ami
mails:
The proportion of the potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen of the food
recovered in the manure vary consid-
erably with the age and kind of ami
NAL Full grown animals, neither
gaining nor losing weight, excrete
practically all of the fertilizing con-
stituents consumed in the food. Rap
idly growing animals may excrete as
little as so per cent of the fertilizing
constituents of the food, while mich
COWS excrete from 65 to IS per cent.
and fattening or working animals from
80 to 95 per cent. The Mississippi ex-
pertinent station found that young fat
tening steers excreted on an average
"a per cent of the nitrogen, go per
cent. of the potash and sc per cent
of the phosphoric acid of the food
consumed. The Pennsylvania station
reports experiments in which mich
COWS execreted SO per cent. of the
nitrogen, go per cent. of the potash
and rs per cent. of the phosphoric
acid of their food.
1t has been shown that both the
amount and the value of manure vary
to a considerable extent with the kind
of animal producing it, the animals

RECLAMATION MEANS PROFIT.

Figures compiled by the federal de-
partment of agriculture indicate that
our crops of corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, f1axseed, potatoes and
hay for 1903 were raised upon
215,O0O,000 acres of land, or IL
per cent of the area of the republic,
not including Alaska. The farm val
ue of these crops is placed at $3,OOO,-
100000, or at the rate of $3.50 per
acre. Wheat was valued at 6212 cents
per bushel, and other crops in proper
ton.
Engineers who have made study
of irrigation and our arid lands west of
the Mississippi, claim that 100,000,000
acres can be reclaimed by irrigation,
and made highly productive lands,
which command at all times and seas
ons an abundat supply of water, and
will yield larger and more uniform
crops than the land in the valley of
the Mississippi dependent upon rain
fall
Irrigated lands in California sell for
from $10O to $1,000 per acre, and have
been sold for $500. In Colorado
this season 10 tons of sugar beets
were produced upon 20 acres of irri-
gated land, and were sold to a sugar
factory for 1916. Irrigated lands
planted with fruit trees, grapes, or
anges, almonds and small fruits often
yield $1,000 per acre. A conservative
value of 1OO,OOO,OO0 acres of irrigated
land in our trans Mississippi and Pacific
States would be $4,000, 100000 or 500
per acre. The annual value of the
products would be not less than $25
per acre or total value of $2,500,000
OOO
Ten billions added to the accumulat-
ed wealth of the nation in the form of
productive land, yielding an annual in
come of $2,5OO,OOO,O0O, will give sta
bility to our investments in railways,
steamships and manufactures. The
reclamation of these lands involves no
entangling international problems to
solve, nor should their reclamation be
made a question of party politics. 1t
is a problem for the nation to solve,
and not the states or private corpora
tons.
The reclamation of our arid lands
means a vast and permanent enlarge
ment of our home markets for the pro-
ducts of our industrial establishments.
Irrigated lands will repay intensive cul-
tivation because the returns from such
lands are large and constant; that
means increased employment for I'M
skilled labor There is no doubtful
side in the reclamation of our arid
land. No classes will be injured.
On the contrary, all classes will be
benefited

producing the smaller amounts as u
rule yielding the richer manure. Thus
sheep, which produce the smallest
amount of manure per 1000 pounds of
live weight, rank with hogs in yield
ing that of greatest value per ton,
and, COWS, which stand first as re-
CARDS production, rank lowest as re-
gard quality Hogs, however, stand
in the front rank as regards both
amount and quality. Differences are
explained to a large extent by the
dissimilar feeding habits of the diff
erent kinds of animals, but espe cially
by variations in the water contents
of the manure. The general charac-
teristics of the manure produced by
different kinds of animals are as fol-
lows:
Sheep manure contains a small
amount of water, and is, weight for
weight, the richest manure produced
by any of the common farm animals;
it is what is called hot manure, fer
menting rapidly with the development
of heat. Like horse manure it is es-
pecially likely to lose ammonia.
Horse manure is very dry, and is,
therefore, difficult to thoroughly mix
with litter. 1t is hot manure, I'M
dergoing fermentation rapidly and
generating a high heat on account of
it's loose texture. 1t is likely to lose
ammonia even more rapidly than
sheep manure and requires careful
management from the moment it is
voided. The composition of horse
manure is more uniform than that of
any other farm animal, chiefly be-
cause the food of horses is more uni
form. The urine is especially rich
Hog manure is very variable in COM
position, owing to the variable nature
of the food supplied to this animal,
but is generally rich, although con-
tanning a high percentage of water.
1t generates little heat in decompOs-
ing.
The manure of neat cattle, like that
of hogs and for the same reason, is
variable in character, but is generally
poorer than that of other farm animals
on account of it's large perez ntage of
water. 1t decomposes slowly and de-
velops little heat.
Poultry manure is very rich in all
the fertizing elements, but especially
so in nitrogen, owing to the fact that
the urinary secretions, which contain
large amounts of nitrogen as we'll as
potash in readily available form, are
voided with the solid excrement. 1t
quickly loses nitrogen, however, by
fermentation if not properly mixed
with absorbents or personalities. In
no case should alkaline substances,
like lime, wood ashes, etc., be mixed
with poultry manure.

RESULTS OF A LATE TRAIN.

Professor Matthews, of the Normal. returned from Prescott early Monday morning. He should have arrived in Phoenix a little after o'clock, but the train from the. north was late and it was almost that time before he left Prescott. He could not sleep any there, not knowing just when the train was expected. He got to Phoenix just In time to take the first train to Tempe. and reached here just in time to open school Moncay morning. Couseouent- Iy as he remarked yesterday. there was at least one teacher who was a little cross when school closed that evening, and he was somewhat glad that yesterday was a legal holiday. whereby he had the privilege of clos ing school for half a day.
 Professor Matthews expected his mother U return with him. but cir cumstances were such that she could not get ready in time to accompany him here. She, however, is expected some time tre last of this week. and will spend the winter in Tempe.

TEMPE
FUNERAL OF MRS. KLoss.
The Last Sad Rites Were Performed
 Yesterday Afternoon.

The funeral of Mrs Daniel Kloss, whose sudden death the morning be fore was such a blow to the people of Tempe, was held from the Congrega- tional church at o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Rev. Drew, pastor of the church, preached an eloquent and touching sermon, taking his text from a passage in Revelations. Rev. Me Afee of Phoenix was also present and added a few appropriate remarks: in effect, the three results of the death of such a person as Mrs. BlOss. They are, first, the serrOw of the bereaved; sec ond, the peace of the departed, and third the joy in heaven because of one more there.
 The floral tributes were something perfect, and they. together with the large number in attendance at the ser vices, spoke in a language more elo- quent than words of the respect and high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community.
 The pallbearers were Nessrs. Alex nnder, Hough, Walsworth, Price,

ARRIVED IN TIME 10 VorE

J. c. Robbins and son, Bert, arrived here yesterday afternoon from Sun flower. They and Ben Robbins and Jesse Chillson left there a day or two ago with 95 head of cattle that they are bringing to the valley for pasture It was Mir Robbins hope that he and Bert would reach here with the stock In time to cast theiI. ballots, but it be- came very apparent on Monday that they could not do it and stay with the cattle. They drove as much as pos sible after dark that night and started again before daylight yesterday morn ing, but still seeing that they could not make it, they left the two boys with the herd and came on ahead. The rest of the party and the cattle were ex- pected in some time last night.

A SPECIAL TT

Arrangements were completed yes terday for the running of a special 'train on the Santa Fe uext Saturday afternoon for the accommodation of such as wish to attend the football game at the park between the Normal school and the High school The game will be called at 2:3O sharp. and the train will leave here at 2 o'clock and will stop at the park. The train will return at the usual time. The fare for the round trip will be 35 cents. Tempe always turns out a good crowd at a football game, and for various reasons it is expected that on Saturday she will do better than ever. A great deal of interest is centere5 in tkts game. and while she Normal is confident of win ming, they realize that 1t will probably be a pretty even game.
 The Normal team has been strength ened some by the addition of Merton stewart who entered the school a couple of weeks ago. He was a prom inent member Of last years team. and will take up his old position in the line
