Man!

A writer well says that man Is the
only creature that knows he will die.
Yet he is the creature who laughs.
Heis the only creature that manifests
Joy In his existence. It is hard to un-
derstand. Every rational man knows
that he has no mortgage on tomorrow.
1t is not his. He may never see It; he
may die before the dark shadow of
this fact falls althwart his path.
They laugh and are gay, even when
their heads are grayed for the grave.
They hasten to future of which the
wisest have as shadowey a knowledge
as fool. This future is forever and Is
said to be Influenced for eternity by
our conduct here. Yet this is nearly
the only fact that man is careless
about.

The fact that little more than
$4,000 was paid out on the new poor
house accounts for the unusually large
expenditures during the summer

expense of construction work, there is
always a greater demand for assist
ance from the poor during cold

 much interested in the bitter fight that is being waged by both sides. They are constantly on the lookout for sensational developments by both sides and are not always dis appointed.
 The contest over mineral ground is not the only fight which Cam erom has waged with the railroad people. Only few years ago the whole of Arizona was interested in the controversy over possession of the Berry trail, which was located about twenty years ago by man of that name and later acquired by Cameron to be operated as toll road.
 On October 17, 1903, the Grand Canyon road made application to Washington, D. C., to give them possession of the Berry trail, claim. ing that when the San Francisco forest reserve was created CamerOn's rights no longer held.
 Land Commissioner Richards did grant the request, but Cameron protested and the matter was held in abeyance, Cameron retaining possession and charging toll, which he began to do in 1891. Later Sec retary of the Interior Hitchcock de- cided the case in favor of Cameron restoring him to full possession.
 Land Commissioner Hitchcock declared that when the forest re- serve was created it did not take away any of the rights of Cameron or any other individual who held them prior to the time the reserve was created and approved. This was on June 22, 1904.
 Cameron is confident he will win all of his fights in the long run, and his attorneys are all of the same opinion.-Prescott Herald.

roeding Hogs For Market.

A series of experiments by the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college show that
farmers who fatton hogs this fall can
add nearly fifty per cent to the value OF
their corn by feeding linseed meal with
1t in proportion, by weight, of FIVE parts
corn to one part meal. That is TO say,
corn worth 30c per bushel when fed
alone, is worth 45 to 4S cents when fed
with linseed meal. For this purpose
the corn may be ground or shelled.
1t is necessary to supplement corn In
some such manner owing to the fact
that II is deficient in protein, one Of the
essential elements in pork production.
This substance is found In every tissue
Of the body and is the principal element
OF lean meat. Corn furnishes the min.
eral matter for the bones, and the
starch, sugar and fat, for the production
Of fat and the maintenapce OF the ami
NAL body, but 1t does not furnish the
protein essential to the tissues. 1t be-
comes necessary, therefore to supply
this through some other food.
