 Calumet & Bisbee has not been very active on account of the last payment, which was payable on the goth. There is no doubt that this property. as well as the Calumet and Cochise. is good investment, also in fine ground and see no reason that they will not encounter ore within the next three months.

ARIZONA COPPER MARKET.
(By Fred H. Merritt.)

Duluth, Jan 18.-In comparing the
 conditions of the respective stocks tonight with those prevailing one week ago we find the following changes: Calumet & Arizona Mining Co. One week ago it was rather hard to dispose of this stock at the market price, $SS, but the sentiment in it's favor has changed gradually daily un- til tonight it is hard to get the stock for customers who are will to pay $91. showing substantial gain for the week of over 8 per share. with every indication of further advance during the coming week.
 Calumet & Pfttsburg Mining Com pany. The half paid stock of this company closed last week at s1s. while tonight 1t is strong at 413.76 bid and orders can not be filled except with difficulty, and every indication of the

market seems to point to a steady
 gradual advance for this stock, with a
 probable chance of passing even the
 Calumet & Arizona in its wonderful
 record of production.
 Lake Superior & Pittsburg Develop was sold a, sl0S per share. and today ii was sold at s121 per share, a net gain of s13 per share. As stated dur | ins the week the coming price of this is;ock depends solely on the needs lof the seller, as from present develop Iments the property is certainly worth much more.
 Pittsburg & Duluth Development Co. On Friday, Jan. ', this stock was sold at $40, and today numerous buy CTS are willing to pay s4s. a clear gain |of sS. The market is in such shape on this stock that the first favorable |news from the property will cause 8 sharp advance in its price. Tn the meantime very little if any is offered for sale un6er $50 per share.
 Junction Development Co. While this stock has advanced by $I per share since last Saturday, still its market is in good shape, and it should show further advance this coming week, and will advance probably to around sic to s20 without further news from the property.
 Stocks in the other companies have showed no activity until today, when there has been some little inquiry for Calumet & Bisbee and Wolverine & Arizona From appearances, I think there will be a good buying demand Tor Calumet & Bi5bee after the goth of this month, on which day the last assessment shall have been paid, mak- ing it full paid stock.
 The general condition of the mar ket is very favorable, and I firmly anticipate gradually advancing prices in the best stocks for several months, such advances caused by the contin- ued demand, decrease in selling or ders and improvements on the sever al properties, all of which are occurr- ing and will continue The men who are going to Bisbee this week are sureI to return with most favorable opin- ions of that camp; in fact, 1t could Tot be otherwise.

He wrote plays and they were not ac.

not last, but he will live as the friend

Macquart series of novels was. 1t must
be confessed, a failure. But Zola
worked without ceasing, and he had
his reward, such as it was. That he
could not enter the French Academy
was the great grief of his life. His
exclusion was just, for his writings
were hardly literature. He will live
with Voltaire as the friend of the per.

Where Women Vote.

In four States-Wyoming. Colorado
Utah and Idaho-women possess the
right to vote on equal terms with men
at all elections. Either full or partial
suffrage for women exists In twenty
six States. In eighteen States women
possess school suffrage. In Kansas
they have municipal and school suf-
frage. Montana and Iowa permit them
to vote on the issuance of municipal
bonds. In 1898 Louisiana granted
them. the privilege of voting upon ques-
tlons relating to public expenditures.
With this exception. the Southern
States have been slow in advancing
the Soman-suffrage cause. The
women OF Wyoming Colorado. Utah
and Idaho vote for Presidential cleo

Filling the SiIo.


Each year finds larger number Of
Americans farms where silos are to
be filed. The best dairymen for some
years have realized the value of
silo, whether they Were fortunate
enough to possess one or not, and more
recently steer feeders, sheep feeders
and breeders have also realized the
value OF corn silage in economic agri-
culture.
The two principal objections raised
to the silo are the cost OF the silo It,
self and the cost Of filling 1t. The con-
struction of more expensive but real
ly cheaper silos has partly silenced
those Offering the first objection, and
more business like methods of filling
are silencing those Offering the latter.

Der of those who hire extra help or
change with their neighbors, is yearly

Feeding Old Hens.

As long as the old hens will lay II Is
not wise to market them. but they
must be closely watched In late SUM-
mer and fall, especially after they go
intO winter quarters. so that II they
stop laying they can be prepared for
market as quickly as possible. 1t has
been found that old hens will lay into
the winter for a considerable period II
some pains are taken to feed them
during late summer while they are
on the range. One of the best foods
for this period is peas. using the field
peas and feeding them raw after being
cracked or cooking them and feeding
as mash with bran.
This feed incltes egg production
and keeps the hens In good cindltion
without making them over fat; at the
same time they are In such good condi-
tion that should they stop laying. they
can be fattened for market at small
expense. The plan Is worth trying.
for one OF the losses of the poultry
business comes from spending too
much In fattening the hens for market
after they have stopped laying

Oats and Corn For Horses.

A correspondent writes the Indiana
Farmer: What has been found to be
the best proportions of oats and corn
for feeding work horsesi Some here
claim that corn is the best for horses
that are worked hard, and they feed it
exclusively. Would not SOME oats as
well as corn make better horse feed2
In answer, that paper says I'VE
quote from Professor W. a. Henry, of
the Wisconsin Station, who is excel.
lent authority on feeds and feeding
He says:
"Oats are the ideal grain food for
horses, the kernel proper containing
a large amount of nutriment. The
hulls surrounding the grain give the
material bulk, tending thereby to pre-.
vent overfeeding and at the same time
rendering the food light and easy OF
digestion by the fluids of the stomach.
Where horses are hard worked one
should depart from an oat ration with
caution and learn by experience what
can be accomplished The farmer
might well try bran and gluten feed as
partial substitutes for oats. Remem.
Der that bran is light and partially
inert so that 1t may take the place of
small portion of hay formerly con
sumed. On the other hand, it fur.
nishes TO the horse probably three.
fifths or three-fourths as much nutri.
ments as the same weight of oats,
and almost or quite as rich as the car.
bohydrates. In the trial way reduce
the oat allowance one-third and substi.
tute a mixture of bran and gluten
feed, equal parts of weight.
Remember too, that corn can always
be fed to horses with satisfaction.
There is a limit, however, to its use,
and in such cases as thosesthe supply
should not be large. For one feed
each day allow couple of pounds of
corn for the same weight of oats. The
corn will furnish more energy than
the same weight of oats. Remember
that corn causes horses to sweat easi.
ly if'fed in large quantity. 1t is better
winter than summer food, though
some may be fed in the summer. Corn
is strong, hearty food and is highly
appreciated by hard worked horses,
because it does furnish so much ener-
gy. In the southern part Of the corn
belt horses live almost entirely upon
corn. Further north, where oats are
the main crop, they subsist almost en-.
trely on the latter grain. A combin.
alton of the two will usually prove
more economical and better than to
feed either SO exclusively as is Gus.

The Cape to Cairo Railroad,

The Cape to Cairo railroad, the in.
ception of the late Cecil Rhodes, has
reached the southern bank of the Zam.
best River at the Victoria Falls. The
first section Of the project is now
realized over 1000 miles Of track hav-
ing been laid down, stretching from
Cape Town to this point The con-
struction of the single-span bridge,
which is to carry the track across the
Iambesl gorge at height of 420
feet, is now being proceeded with, and
the second section of the railroad will
then be commenced. This section will
run from the north bank of the Broken
HILL in the direction of Lake Tan
ganylka, a distance of $50 miles. Be
yond that point no definite course has
been decided. though there are several
projected routes under consideration.
According to Cecil Rhodes, this trans
continental railroad was to be 300
miles in length. While the track has
been steadily constructed northward
from Cape Town, the Egyptian end
has been simultaneously proceeded
with, and 1t Is now 400 miles south
of Khartoum. About another 2000
miles of track has therefore yet TO be
laid before through railroad communi-
cation is established between Cape
Town and Cairo.

Cold Curing PAYS.

Briefly summarized, the advantages
of curing cheese at low temperatures
are the following:
The loss of moisture is less at low
temperatures, and therefore there is
more cheese to sell.
The commercial quality Of cheese
cured at low temperatures is better,
and this results in giving the cheese
a higher market value.
Cheese can be held a long time at
low temperatures without impairment
of quality.
BY utilizing the combination of
parffinlng cheese. and curing it at low
temperatures, the greatest economy
can be effected.
