One Of the most fatal mistakes in
breeding hogs or any other class of
stock is to overlook the question OF
constitutional vigor. for upon this
depends the general health and thrift
of the stock. their feeding qualities
and their ability to assimilate food tn
the best advantage.
Fattening animals should never be
allowed to become hungry, nor. on ths

Overcrowding Chicks.

Overcrowding OF chicks in brood.
ers results in weakening the
chicks that remain alive after
number have been killed.
Some have said that 1t was a good
thing to kill off the weak ones in that
way, but we doubt 1t. 1t is not a rare
occurrence to have a weak child or
weak animal or bird develop into a
strong being at maturity. When we
overcrowd the chicks we give to
them conditions that are injurious to
life and health. 1t may be that the
setback will never be overcome by
good conditions afterward.

Our Butter,

annually about 100000. 900 pound,

about four million farms. The peo.

of this butter number about 1000, 900.
The estimated value is about $500.

20 cents per pound. About 90 per

A BIG MINE.
But Not so BlS as Represented The
 United Verde Copper Mine.

Some of the statements that get into print about profits from mines are amusing enough to make a horse laugh. The profits are al-
 ways in the millions-at times in the tens of millions. That the man who would not know con- tract If he met one on the trail, should tell about the millions his mine IS making, is incomprehen- sible, but that a mining stock manipulator, such as MT. Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, should rant in similar strain is less un- derstandable. Yet that gentleman in his Frenzied Finance" con- tribution to Everybody's" Octo- Der number, says that Senator w. A. Clark is making ten million dollars net profits annually from the United Verde copper mine in Arizona. United Verde copper must be worth a heap of money to yield Senator Clark ten million dollars a year net profits. The United Verde has been producing an average of thirty million pounds of copper year. Now let us do some figuring:
 To realize a sum of ten million dollars gross, the thirty million pounds of copper at the United Verde would have to sell for thirty-three and ,one-third cents per pound. How, therefore, Sen ator Clark has been making ten million dollars year, net, from the United Verde is one of those things occasionally encountered that is difficult to understand. Something like one million five hundred and seventy-hve thou sand dollars a year are the net profits of the United Verde-not ten millions. .- Mining Review.

About Quartzite.

It is stated that two smelters will soon be running at Quartzite. The News Herald says the Nalen- zuela Copper Mining company has a 3o-ton water iacker smelter on the ground, which will be erected as soon as possible. An ample supply of underground wa ter for their plant has been en- countered.
 The Will Smelling company of Ouartzite has four concentrators which were formerly owned bv the Michigan Gold company, and that these concentrators will be put to work in the near future. The com pany has plenty of placer ground on which to use these machines, owning by location 5,4oo acres of good placer dirt. These dry con- centrators are to be put to work at once to do the title work on the ground. The new shelter of the Will Smelling company, 5o-ton standard water jacket, is bought and paid for, and it is all on the ground.

Arizona Sketches.

Munk he Graft0n HreSS, NeW York, IS a mostientertaining des cri ription of the natural wonders of one of the most curious terri. tories on the planet. Everybody has read about the Grand Canyon but not all of us have even heard oi MetorIte mountain, which IS equally as wonderful. On its tor is what was originally supposed to be crater, a mile wide and six hundred feet deep, but for reasons which are fully set forth in this volume this opening IS now be- lieved to mark the spot where a falling star, or vast meteorlte entered the earth and is now buried hundreds of feet beneath. A company is now sinking shafts in an effort to locate it.
 
 Mr. Munk gives us a new view of the origin of the Grand Canyon upsetting some scientific theories regarding it, and recounts some of the stories of Capt. Jack Hance, the famous guide who  lives in the Canyon, and who is a second Baron Munchausen.
 In Arizona are the mysterious structures of the Cliff Dwellers, whose remains, even to their pot terv and their mummies, remind us so strorgly of the Egyptians, and there also live the Moqui h. dians, that almost equally baffling modern remanent of an original trace. They refuse to mix with the whites, to whom they consider themselves far superior and they still practice barbarous rites like the Snake dance, which MT. Munk describes in detail.
 But most of the surprises will be found in the chapters on Nege- tation. All nature riots in Ari- zona." Scientists have found that seven distinct life zones - running from the Arctic to the Tropic-exist in radius of twenty-five miles" 1" There grow food plants like the giant cactus, sometimes practically a straight green column sixty feet high, but which bear a delicious fruit with a flavor which is a combination of fig and strawberry. Then there IS the mesquite tree. It is so beautiful that it is often used solely for decorative purposes, being covered with fragrant flowers. Its wood takes higher polish and is so durable that it is in great demand by builders, and as fine firewood. Its seed pods contain a bean which is so nour- ishing that it satisfies even the carnivorous coyote, and cattle will leave a green pasture to feed upon mesquite tree. In fact MT. Munk says, it seems to feed everything that walks or flies in the desert" Lastly it exudes a

Fine crinoline straws in the most ex-

from the edge and I'LL it with fresh ber-
ries which have been crushed and well
sweetened. Let the berries stand for
several hours, but do not put in the
strip which has run from them; save
this for the sauce. Replace the cut out
pastry circle and cover with a stiff me-
Tingue. Put the shortcake in the oven
and let it remain long enough to color
and make firm the meringue. This cake
should be quickly made and served
without delay.
Still another way of preparing straw
berries is to line pie dish with short
pastry and bake in a moderate oven foF
five minutes. Mix three heaping table,
spoonfuls of -four with a small guam
ttty of milk until 1t is cream. Sweeten
to taste. Boil the remainder of the pint
of milk and add to it the mixed milk
and -four, stirring all the time. Pour
in a saucepan, bring to a boil and pour
into the pastry lined pie dish. Bake
until a light brown in a moderate oven.
This pie cuts like blancmange and is
delicious when eaten with fresh straw
berries and cream. The new silver ber-
ry bowls in which the fresh fruit may
be charmingly piled are beautiful The
gray finished silver is particularly stun

of sterling silver may be bought at one
of the finest New York silversmiths

are lovely, with their shell-like shapes

forks, a more up to date appliance with
which to eat the luscious berries than

resulting from the eating of fresh fruits
