MAINE MANS TRIP.
Enthuses Over Anita Copper De-
 pOsits Near the Surface.

Col. J. T. Small of Lewiston, Me, who has inspected many of the most important mines of the west, returned Thursday from a trip to the already famous copper mining district of northern Arizona. Col. Small is enthusiastic over the min eral wealth of that part of Arizona. Already he says the annual divi- dends from the mineral output of Arizona nearly equal those of Mon tana and Michigan combined.
 "I spent considerable time near the grand canyon of Arizona" said Col. Small, Ca region rich in min eral deposits that may be mined at a small outlay on account of the formations so near the surface. The most promising properties in that wealthy district, in my opinion, after an examination covering 12 days, are the claims of the Anita Copper Company. These mines are located Is miles south of the rim of the grand canyon, on the new tourist railroad to the canyon, the Santa Fe and Grand Canyon branch of the Santa Fe railroad. The railroad runs right to the mine and from there south AZ miles to Williams, where the company's smelter is located.
 1.-The Anita mine is north of Sen ator Clark's valuable United Verde property, on higher land, and l think from my observation it will prove to be much greater money maker than the Senator's claim. So far the greater part of the ore taken from the Anita mines has been close to the surface, and the cost of operation has consequently been very low. For example, $1OO- 900 worth of ore has been taken right off the surface so l was told by some of the people I met there.
 "On the B Anita claims most of the work has been done in open cuts so you can see the rich strata near the surface. The cuts run from 15 to 40 feet deep. They have one shaft in the North Star mine which is down to 300 feet, and they propose to continue sinking this shaft and to run drifts from the same. I was amazed at the ore I picked up. I found that the ore runs from 8 to 40 per cent copper and in many instances assays as high as 60 per cent.
 Work is going on briskly there now. It is beautiful, commodious camp. The most complete plant in that part of the country is near ly finished, including air compres- sors, power drills and other modern mining machinery. New cuts arc being steadily opened and the prop erty seems to be developing rap idly.
 'The Anita mines are most ad vantageously located with their 700 acres right on the railroad. Ore ii delivered on cars at the mine ano delivered at the company's smelte at Williams. The smelter is a first class plant, and the company own' 160 acres at Williams On tn, whole 1 never saw any minin, proposition that seems to hav' such great possibilities as tn Anita" "-Boston Globe, June 4.

INCREASING THE PROFITS.
II Can Be Done by Giving the Hogs
More Range and Free Access
to Pastures.

A very common practice, aud yet q
very Injurious practice. among farmers
Is to conflne their swine in close pens,
not allowing them free range and a
change Of atmosphere. The original
hog had the freedom Of the woods,
where he could dig for roots and OBJ
tain other things possessing medicinal
qualities; consequently he was much
healthier, and less liable to cholera
and other contagious diseases. ALL
animals like a change Of diet. This
they can get when allowed q large
pasture to roam over, as there will be
found there so many kinds of weeds
that they will relish, which will great.
ly improve the appetite. Notice the
difference betweeen two punches of
hogs; one which has been closely con-,
fined, the other which has had plenty
Of range and change Of sleeping ap-
partments. You will readily notice
the difference in appearance. health,
growth, etc. Another very poor prac
tice Is to allow hogs to sleep on piles
Of manure, or around old straw stacks,
and when allowed to do this, ere long
the hogs will show the effects OF such
poor practlce-as some will show
signs OF poor health and also stunted
condition from over heating and over
laying. Grain being more costly than
the grasses 1t Is therefore a point in
economy to gain as many pounds as
possible by the use of grass. 1t has
been well said that variety Is the
spice Of life" This is as true of the
life OF animals IS of man. Don't feed
those pigs so much grain, give them
such food as will be conducive Of more
growth and less flesh. Prepare pas
ture especially adapted to the needs
and wants Of the pigs, such as
clover. peas, rape. etc, and you will
have stronger and better hogs. Hogs
weighing about 200 pounds, well fat
tened. are bringing the top Of the mar
ket now. The large coarse hog is no
longer in such demand; this works a
great saving to the producers. as 1t is
possible to make market toppers In six
to nine months, so that 1t is not neces-
sary to winter anything but the b ood
sows; spring pigs being marketed in
the fall. In this way, too. they can be
matured at much less cost than those
that have to be wintered before fat
tening. Think 1t better plan to give
even those hogs that are on full feed
a chance to roam some, as they will

feed pen.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Iive Stock in the Orchard.

Now and then we see the advice given
to pasture the stock in the orchards.
But II the orchard is modern one, We
doubt very much ifthe advice is good.
It might have been all right in the old
fashioned orchard that had trees head
ed high, and of which the stock could
not eat the lower branches or gather the
fruit from them. But in some of our best
orchards the trees are headed SO low that
the branches almost lie on the ground,
and In the growing season very large
amount Of fruit would be within the
reach OF the stock whatever kind 1t
might be. Poultry is about the only
class of farm stock that can be given
access to the orchard without running
great chances Of extensive injury result

IN THUNDERSTORM SEASON
What Spots to Avoid in Order to Be
Reasonably Safe from the Ef-
fects. Of Lightning.

The Philadelphia Ledger gives this
excellent advice: Now that the sea-
son of thunderstorms is approaching
people should understand what spots
to avoid in order to reduce to the
minimum the chances of being struck
by lightning. Out-of-doors trees
should be avoided, and If from the ra-
pidity with which the explosion fol-
lows the flash 1t is evident that elec-
trio clouds are near at hand, recum-
bent posture Is the safest. It Is sell
dom dangerous to take shelter under
sheds, carts or low buildings, or un-
der the arch of bridge, and dis
tance of 30 or 30 feet from tall trees
or houses Is an eligible situation. for
should discharge take place these
elevated bodies ARE most likely to re-
ceive 1t.
1T is we'll also to avoid water, for 1t
Is good conductor, and the height Of
human being near the stream may
determine the direction Of discharge
Within doors we are tolerably safe in
the middle Of carpeted room, or
when standing on thick hearth rug
The chimney should be avoided on
account OF the conducting power of
the carbon deposited In 1t, and gilt
holdings or bell wires are sources Of
risk. In bed we are tolerably safe,
since blankets and feathers are bad
conductors. II is injudicious to take
refuge in a cellar, because the dis
charge is often from the earth to a
cloud. and the buildings frequently
sustain the greatest injury in their
easements"

Agriculture in the Schools.

The idea of teaching agriculture in
primary schools is growing steadily,
despite well-intentioned but really
groundless opposition. The greatest
stumbling block has been ignorance
of teachers concerning scientific agri-
culture. There is now little excuse for
any teacher remaining ignorant of a
few of the general principles of crop
production. Anyone II he makes up
his mind can fit himself for teaching
how to prepare soil for planting and
cultivate q few of our leading farm
crops Agricultural papers, agricul-
tural books. nature study, literature,
are within the reach of every teacher.
OF course consolidation of country
schools will render the teaching of
agriculture. comparatively easy, but
until this Is accomplished much can
be done.-American Agriculturist.

size Of common house fly. The states
and the planters were at loss to devise
effective means to drive away the in
vader.
The department of agriculture came
to the assistance of the planters, and
sent special field agents from the d.
vision of entomology to make careful
investigations of this enemy and in
vader and to devise plans for Its ex-
termination. Since then these scientists
have waged relentless warfare upon the
weevil, and made most exhaustive prac-
tical experiments to wipe out the insect.
and have been partly successful Recog-
nizing the seriousness of this pest, con-
gress has just appropriated $3.50 900 to
further aid in extermiffating the weevil.
The adult weevil averages about one
fourth Of an inch in length, and has a
beak about half the length of the body.
1t is of graylsh or reddish brown color.
The insect exists in four stages-eggs,
larvae, pupa and adult. All the stages
except the last occur inside Of the cot
ton square or boil. The egg is deposited
by the female weevil in a cavity formed
by eating into the fruit Of the plant. 1t
matches, under normal conditions, in
two or three days. and the grub imme-
diately begins to feed.
In from seven to twelve days the larva
or grub passes into the pupa, or quiet
stage. corresponding to the cocoon Of
the silkworm. This stage lasts from
three to five days. Then the adult
weevil issues, and in about seven days
begins the production of another gen.
Grafton. Climatic conditions cause con-
siderable variation, but on an average 1t
requires from two to three weeks for a
weevil to develop from the egg to the
adult.

ENSlLACE FOR DAIRY COWS.
One Cubic Foot Of Silo Space Should
Be Provided for Each An
imal Per Day.

There Is no longer any question
about the value of the silo and silage
for dairy cows. The testimony In be-
half Of this is unanimous, and very
conclusive where silage Is fed to the
cows. Here are some practical refer
ences to the construction Of the silo
and quantity of the silage, by Prof.
Thomas F. Hunt, of the Ohio State
University and Agricultural College
"One cubic foot of silo space should
be provided for each cow per day. To
obtain the size of silo required multi
ply the number of cows to be fed by
the number Of days it is desired to feed
ensilage and the result will be the Gu
bic contents Of the silo required. Silos
should never be less than 20 feet deep,
and 30 feet Is very much better The
ensilage should always be fed off the
top, keeping not more than eight
square feet of surface for each COW fed,
and Ave square feet Is better. 1t Is
sometimes more economical to get this
relationship by increasing the size of
the herd than by reducing the size of
the silo. The amount of weight by en-
silage that a silo will hold depends
upon several factors, as the size and
shape of silo and the ripeness of the
corn used, but in general the number
of pounds of ensilage silo will hold
can be determined by multiplying the
cubic contents of the silo by 30. A
ton of ensilage will thus fill 66 cubic
feet. The number of tons of ehsllage
which can be grown per acre is mat
ter upon which there is much differ
ence of opinion My experience leads
me to believe that ~ tons Of ensiIage
per acre is fair average yield of
properly ripened ensilage."
