In much of the western territory
for neglecting the dairy business for
the reason that there is no creamery
near by. The cream separated on the
farm finds a very ready market at
almost any railway town. where it
will be tested and paid for by the local
agent of some central and distant
creamery, to which it will be shipped
by rail two or three times each week.
Under this plan the dairyman gets his
pay for his cream each time when it is
delivered.

a good sized round stone in her roll of
butter, which the grocer later returned
to her in a sack of coffee. There were
no remarks made by either party.

We are asked about the value of red
top as a meadow grass. It is one Of
our poorest grasses, and the only ex-
cuse for growing it at all is that it
will do we'll on some lands which are
too wet to grow either timothy, blue
grass or clover. Stock will avoid it if
possible and only eat itwhen starved to
it, and this same dislike is manifested
for the hay made from it. If you
have a redtop meadow see if it can
not be tile drained and made to grow
a better type of meadow grass

A reader in Nebraska wishes to know
what variety of grass to select for the
purpose Of seeding down a hog pasture
in which are trees which partially
shade the ground. In any of the states
east of Nebraska there would be no
doubt what kind of grass would finally
take possession of such tract, for, no
matter what seed might be sown, the
blue grass would soon occupy the field,
but we doubt if the blue grass has vet
become domesticated so far west.
What would be better than even blue
grass would be alfalfa, which in most
parts of that state does remarkably
well. He suggests bronze grass, but we
are inclined to think the best thing to
do would be to put the soil in the best
condition and SOW to alfalfa, which
makes the very best hog pasture in the
world.

The mechanical condition Of the soil
has very much to do with it's produc-
tiveness-far more than most farmers
think for. It is an easy matter for the
soil to be too wet or too dry, to be too
cold or too warm, to be in such condi-
ton that it will admit too much air or
not enough. 1t matters not how much
fertility the soil may possess, if the
mechanical condition Of the soil is not
right the plant food which it contains
Is not available. A lack of humus in
the soil, a very common condition on
all lands long cropped with grain
crops, always insures an unfavorable
condition of the soil. It runs and be-
comes mortar bed in wet time and
bakes and cracks in dry time. The
good farmer will seek to remedy this
common fault by giving the land rest,
renovation and new fertility with clo-
yer and by the plowing under Of some
green crop and the application Of al
good coat of barn yard fertilizer and
by pasturing the land for year or
two. Land Of clayey makeup If
plowed when wet is put in bad me-
chanical condition for the entire sea-
son.

There is more clean money in raising
Jonathan apples in Colorado than ma
vel oranges in California. An orange
grower told us recently that nothing
ON earth was more calculated to fool a
man than an orange grove. The land
is there, the trees are there and the
fruit is there, enough to show a big
profit per acre, but the cost Of fertiliz-
ing, OF irrigating, Of cultivation, the
scaling down of the fruit at the pack
ing houses and all the other expenses
only too often left the owner Of the
orchard holding the sack.

The modern corn planter has a good
many sins to answer for-perhaps not
so much the planter as the man who
runs it. The planter can't plant cobble-
stones and mustard seed, just three
in each hills not built that way-and
so it is easy to see that the uniformity
of size in seed corn is an all important
matter if the planter is to do good
work. Now, there is lots of difference
in the shape of kernels of corn-some
long and narrow, some shallow and
wide, some large and some small
with the result that unless care is tax
EN- in sizing and sorting the corn be-
fore mixing uniform plant Of three in
a hill is a mechanical impossibility.
This point is worth looking into, an
irregular dropping Of the corn making
bad work, each hill being the unit and
demanding just three kernels more,
no less. Six kernels in hill are as bad
as none at all. The planter should be
got out now, the corn carefully tested
and sorted and just what the machine
is going to actually do in the field in
May should be found out in March on

lnlS man ndu 2UU acres or corn last
year. The land was plowed, planted,
dragged and cultivated, representing
the hard work Of three hands at least
from early in the spring until the mid
die of July. The field gave him re-
turn of only seventeen bushels an acre
for the reason that he planted poor
seed and only got one-third of a stand.
The reason he planted poor seed was
because, while he had time to test it on
200 acres, he still thought he had not
time to test it in March or April in two
or three boxes in the house. When
planting day came he just allowed he
would run the risk and plant, trusting
to luck or the Lord, and neither Of them
ever does a thing to help man out in
such cases. The net loss resulting from
this piece of folly was gigantic crop
of weeds, sapping the life out Of the
field, at least twenty-five bushels Of
corn to the acre, worth 40 cents BUSH
el, or SO per acre, or lump sum of
$4,000, and then there was the daily
punishment for his stupidity and fool
ishness as he was forced to cultivate
day after day such measly crop. He
will test his seed corn this year II he
has to sit up nights to do 1t. This is
not long story, but 1t may have some
application in your case. 1t is no yarn,

A Phenomenal Barley Yield.

A few weeks ago the Bullein told of big grain yield on the Gamble ranch near Solomonville: This week we have to report even more won- derful yield from another Solomon vile ranch. From seven and three fourths acres on Frank Dysart's ranch there was threshed this week 320 sacks of barley, averaging in weight 1O9 pounds. This is an average of a fraction more than 415 sacks per acre, and we believe is the banner yield of Arizona. If anyone has that record beaten we have not heard it.
 The total yield on MT. Dysart's 15O acre field averages twenty sacks tt the acre. Grain rahching in tht Gila valley is money making busi ness.

DEAD BODY FOUND.
Body of What is Supposed to be an American Found in Windy Canyon
 Last Tuesday.

Oscar Felton returned home from the mountains last week and brought the news that while riding up Windy canyon, about three miles north of Ben Parks ranch, Kaine Wootan found a mans body on small island in the creek bed. MT. Felton in- spected the body as much as possi- ble without moving it, and de- termined from the Eghtness of the hair that he was an American, al- though some papers, badly torn and rat eaten, were found in his coat, which was several hundred feet from the body, bore Spanish writing, with some English translations.
 Tn. feet were encased in pair ol good shoes, the body had on knit un- derwear, with a black sateen and a blue cotton shirt over two pairs of overalls. A black vest was found near the body and black coat some distance away. A package of needles a pipe and $2 in silver were also found. MT. Felton says he judged the man to have been nearly six feet tall and weight about TO pounds.
 While out on this trip, MT. Felton arrested two prominent St. Johns men for killing deer out of season and they were fined by the justice at Springerville.-

Big Railroad Earnings

Regarding the large gross earnings of six prosperous railroads, the Rail- way Age says editorially in its issne of September 1:
 Fifty million dollars is an enor- nous sum for railway to earn in twelve months, but at least six compa- nies exceeded that amount in 1904. The Pennsylvania system alone, in cluding leased and proprietary lines separately operated, earned the vast total of S23S,242, ,OOO. But next to that the list of railway companies which exceeded S5O, ,00O,O in the year, is as follows with their earnings: l.. Pennsylvania Railroad (3,74S miles,, SIS, 145, ,OO0; ?, Southern Pacific Con- pany, S92 ,933, ,O0O: 3, New York Cen tral and Hudson River. SIS, ,578, ,OO0; 1, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, $6S, III, 1000; ,, Baltimore and Ohio, S65, POO, ,OOO: 6, Chicago and Northwest ern (19O4-O5), S52, ,745 ,O00: !, Union Pacific, S55, ,279, ,OOO; The Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul, which in 1904 earned S48, ,330, 1000 came within abont $500, ,O00 of the $50, 100000 mark in the year ending on June 30, 1905.
 The increase made by the seven companies since 1900 is wonderful, even after takiug increased mileage into account. Thus, the Pennsylva- nia Railroad gained in round numbers S32, ,5OO,O ,OOO, Southern Pacific $32, ,OOO, OO0 New York Central SlS,O00,O ,O00 Santa Fe SlS,20O.OOO, Northwestern S13, 200, ,OOO, Union Pacific nearly S13, 500,0O0. The seven companies, rep resenting IS, 100 miles, or nearly ? per cent of the total mileage in the country, together earned in the year 1900, an increase of 147, 100000.
