THE MILITIA
ELECTS OFFICERS.
Ben Humphreys Rifles viii Attend
the EnCampment.

An enthusiastic meeting OF the Ben
Humphreys Rifles was held at the
Armory on Friday night of last week,
when the following officers were elected:
Will T. priestly, Captain.
G. Latham Ray. First Lieutenant.
David E. Nichols, Second Lieutenant,
About twenty-five members Of the
company were present to answer roll
call, and the selection OF officers was
practically unanimous.
Capt. Priestly will begin at once the
preparation OF his company for the
Forthcoming State encampment, which
will be held in June or July Of this year.
The location Of the encampment has not
as yet been decided upon, but it is said
that it will be held at either Natchez or
Biloxi.
Greenwood has some of the best drilled
military men in the State and the Ben
Humphreys Rifles has always been con-
sidered one of the crack companies at
the encampments.
Last year Captain Humphreys was
absent for several months preceding the
encampment and the men were not as
well drilled as they should have been.
All OF the men are anxious to make a
better showing this year and they will
drill frequently during the next three
or four months.

Tucson Post. Cattle sales iof spring delivery in this section have been very light up to tbe present time, as there have been very few buyers in this part of the country There are large numbers of cattle in ones, twos and threes on the ranges in the southwe st ern part of this territory, as the sales last year were practically nothing and consequently the stockmem have a two years pro- duction on the range for sale. The cattle in the southern part of the territory will this spring, on ac- count of the excellent winter and spring they have had so far, with plenty Of water, which will make lots of early grass. be in the best condition for shipment that they have been of many years. Cattle men, owing to the heavy rainfall ever since the latter part of Decem- Der, with practically no cold weather, will undoubtedly exper- fence one of the best and most prosperous years they have had for the past ten years. The grass on the ranges is starting to grow at the present time and as soon as the weather gets little warmer it will fairly shoot up, as the ground is full of moisture everywhere and cattle will be able to get water in most any of the leading draws for several months.

 Stockman: k. A. Tovrea, the Bisbee butcher, who is feeding quite a bunch of range cattle at his Don Luis, for his market, reports that he is we'll pleased over his success with cotton seed meal and hulls. To obtain the best results he says the steers should be fully grown, which means a 3-year-old or over. The average weight of his Swear old range steers is TOO pounds. After being fed from 50 to 90 days on the above diet the steer will weigh 900 pounds, and be in good killing condition. The steer on the range will cost about $20, and it costs about the same to add the two hundred pounds by feeding the meal and hulls, which are shipped to his feeding pens from eastern Texas and Louisiana in car lots.
 Stockman: H. J. Ramer, the we'll known cattleman of Canyon Creek, Arizona, and Wattrous, New Mexico, has been in Globe in conference with Mir. Goldberg of San Francisco, of the old firm of Miller, Goldberg & Putnam, cattle raisers who operated in the Pleas ant valley section, says the Belt. Mr. Ramer has one of the largest ranges in central Arizona we'll stoczed with cattle. He holds valuable grazing privileges from the government including Q lease covering twenty miles square on the White Mountain Indian reser- vation and also an exclusive priv lege on the adjacent forest reserve Mir. Ramer spends about half his time at Wattrous, New Mexic ( where he has finely improved iranch, stocked with thoroughbred and graded stock.

CLEANING UP THINGS.
No Time of the Year Is Better Suited
for This Kind of Work Than
| the Present.

During the next two months is one
farm, and in the majority of farms
there is plenty of opportunity or need
for this kind of work. After the plow
ing for wheat is done the manure can
all be cleaned out of the stables, sheds
and feed lots and hauled out and scat
tered broadcast on the land intended
for wheat. The work of properly pre-
pairing the land for the reception of
the seed wiki incorporate sufficiently
with the soil. Weeds may be cut down
/ in the meadows and pastures and
along the fence rows to good adyan-
Itage. Many of them, if cut down be-
fore they mature seeds, will be effect
ually killed out.
i This is one of the best reasons for
killing out sprouts and briars. With
the exception of sassafras and per-
simmon almost all kinds may be eff
fectually killed out by cutting down
reasonably close to the ground almost
any time in August. With these two
! in nearly all cases the only safe plan
! is to grub out, cutting them off at
] least six inches below the surface.
While this plan requires considerable
work, in the end it will prove much the
more economical. This is so much the
case that generally it will be better
to thoroughly clean an acre in this
way than to spend the same amount
of time and labor cutting off and burn
ing larger acreage, but doing less eff
.fective work.
Cutting close to the ground and let
ting lay until dry and then burning
will kill out many weeds, moss and
sprouts, but with persimmon and sas-
safras the tops will rarely be killed
down so deep but that the roots will
send up shoots next year, and in a
short time they will be as much in the
way as ever.
By keeping the farm. clear the value
S materially increased to say moth
ng of the better satisfaction in work
ng it.-N. j. Shepherd, in Farmers
Voice.

"Dry Dust" for Spraying.

Mr. L. A. Goodman stated recently
that spraying was to-day necessity
with the progressive apple grower. He
had been testing the merits of "dust
spray" and while he did not feel quail
flied to state that it was altogether an
improvement over the old liquid form;
yet he had seen fit to use it exclusively
on an orchard of over 400 trees. Thor
oughness seemed to be the keynote to
success. AS to the dust" he pro-
nounced it safe, cheap, easily applied
and no water hauling necessary His
formula is as follows: Lime, 20 pounds;
paris green, one pound; dry Bordeaux,
one pound; sulphur one pound; con-
centrated lye. pulverized, one pound.
The dry dust spray is without doubt
rapidly gaining friends, and we will
all know more about it a few months
hence.-Midland Farmer.

SHEEPFOLD AND PIGGERY

Petting sheep is almost as good as
feeding them.
A hog naturally is a clean animal;
man has made him dirty.
For satisfactory results in any flock,
the ram must be thoroughly well bred
and typical of the breed he represents.
Pure water and plenty of it is relished
by hogs. But don't make them drink
great quantities of thin STOP in cold
weather for the sake of the grain. Bet
ter feed both separately.
Buckwheat middlings are a. good feed
for hogs, but they make rather more
economical gains on corn and wheat
feeds. Buckwheat hulls are not fit for
any kind of stock. They make good lit
ter for the poultry house and the fowls
pick out any good stuff in them.-Farm
and Home.

Open pitches Breed weeds.

Open bitches are usually weed nur-
series, because not one farmer in ten
ever finds time to go along them and
keep the weeds down to prevent them
from seeding. An open ditch also oc-
cupies much more ground than the
width of the cut. There must be a
turn row on both sides or else the
crop to the width of such a row is
tramped down and ruined. For these
reasons it pays to put in tile drains in
stead CT open bitches. A tile drain
lasts forever; an open ditch needs
cleaning out every year.
