c. M. AckIen Captures Monster.

o. M. Acklen, president of the Buena Fortuna Gold Mining Com pany, arrived in the city Thursday morning from the mines of the Sonora Copper Company, twelve miles from Llano, Sonora, where he had been spending several days with President and General Manager A. M Conard and a number of capitalists from the east, who visited the property with view of investing in the Sonora Cop per Company. MT. Acklen, who is also financially interested in the com pauy, says the mines continue to improve in extent and value as deve- lopment work progresses, and the eastern gentlemen, were greatly pleas ed with the property and the splendid manner in which they are being operated by MT. Conard, who is push ing exploration and development work as rapidly as possible
 Mir. Acklen brought with him one the finest specimens of the Gila Monster, ever seen in Nogales, which he captured at the mines for his friend Mir N J. Purcell, of Washing ton, D. O., who is general manager eff Mir. Acklen's Buena Fortuna Com pany The monster was alive and measured more than seventeen inches in lenght. Mir. Purcell, who, when in Nogales, makes his headquarters at The Brickwood, is one of the best taxidermists in the United States, soon put his monstership to death and prepared its skin which he will stuff and add to his large, valuable collec- tion at Washington. In the work of putting the monster to death MT. Prucell was ably assisted by Drs Purdy and Nicholson, and Messrs. Acklen and F. F. Cranz.

Fruit Grower and StOcknan

lie it for balancing up corr and
other standard grains produced on
the farm which are not particularly
rich in protein. Cotton seed meal
should not be fed to young calves
or young animals of any class. It
can be fed with safety, however, to
calves over six months old. Two
pounds per day can be added to, the
ration of horses with satisfaction and
safety. For dairy COWS from three
to five pounds may be used, but it
should be combined with other food
stufs like crushed corn, or mid
dlings. For beef cattle when first
placed IN feed a ration of two-thirds
cottonseed meal and ole-third of
crushed corr or corn and cob meal
will prove highly satisfactory. The
age and size of the animals will, of
course, determine the amount to
feed. A ration Of two to four pounds
a day is enough to start cattle on.
AS the feeding period progresses the
amount of cottonseed meal fed
should be reduced and the amount of
corn increased. For finishing cattle
a mixture of two-thirds corn and cob
meal and one-third cottonseed meal
will give the best results.-Andrew
NJ. Soule.

The LAYERS.

Feed your hens some kind of ami
NAL food if they are laying, and
avoid too much grain. The pullets
Matched early last year and which
did not lay in the winter, will prob
ably lay during the whole summer,
if carefully managed. The winter
layers are preferred by some, but
the hens that lay the most eggs in a
year are those that begin very early
in the spring and lay we'll on until
fall. There is some lost time when
the hens are melting, but the adj
vantages are with the summer layers.
Eggs may not be IS high in sum-
mer as in winter, but the hens will
make up any deficiency in price by
increasing the product.
There is nothing to prevent those
who have pure breeds from selling
eggs this season, but only a single
variety should be used by beginners
the first year, as they can best learn
| all the various points and character
istics when but inc breed is kept.
The knowledge gained will be valu-
able; other breeds can then be added
with advantage. Exceptions should
be made when the non-sttters are
used, for it may then be necessary
to have some other breed should II
be desired to hatch chicks.-Farm
and Fireside.

Cotton Seed Meal For Sheen.

DR.. W. A. R., Amherst, writes: Is
~cottonseed meal good for ewes about
10 lamb and afterwards? / have been
feeding them crushed corn, wheat
bran and pea hay and they have
done well. What is the best way to
feed cotton seed meal to cattle?
Answer: Cottonseed meal would
not be a satisfactory foodstuf to feed
to ewes about to lamb or immediate
ly thereafter. 1t is entirely too con-
centrated for that purpose. 1t is
also not we'll adapted to young lambs
owing to it's concentrated nature. At
ter the lambs are a month old a
small amount added to the ration
OF corn and oats, or cor and mid
dllngs, or corn and bran will give
~palatability to the ration and will
insure rapid and uniform gains. Ten
days after Landing you may COM
e to give cottonseed meal to the
W with perfect safety, and it is an
excellent food to feed along until
near the Landing period. The ration
you have been feeding your ewes is
an excellent one. You could prob
ably have cheapened it a little by
using cottonseedemea because it con-
talns a much larger percentage of
dlgestible protein than wheat bran,
n would have proven quite as sat
lsfactory as the crushed corn and
bran. The pea hay was an excellent
roughness for the ewes; in fact, you
could not have a better one because
It is rich in digestible protein, and
mat is what ewes, particularly those
heaVy with lamb, crave, and then
wool, you know, calls for the con
sumption of a considerable amount
OF protein on the part of all fleece
Gearing animals. 2
Cotton seed meal may be fed tc
cattle in a variety of ways. 1t is
such a concentrated food, however,
mat it is generally advisable to util'

Small sores appeared on each of my

but small, scaly .eruptions appeared. The
itching was so severe that l would scratch

made a renewed effort TO effect n .ure-
Fhe eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of my body except my face

Finally my hair began to fall out and l
was rapidly beeoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything else,
l thought l would try Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap. After using three
boxes L was completely cured, and my hair

Fertilizing Value of Poultry.

r. N. H, Evington, writes: I have
an abundance of wood ashes on hand
and wish to know If they can be
used with poultry manure as a fer
tilizer for Irish potatoes. Should
they be mixed and put in furrow
with the potatoes or should the ashes
be broadcasted and plowed in?
Answer: Wood ashes which have
been we'll protected from the weather
contain from five to seven per cent.
Of potash a. a rule. Occasionally
they will contain considerable more.
Ashes from hard woods are richer in.
potash than those from soft woods.
You do not say what source your
ashes are derived from, and so it is
possible 10 estimate what amount of
plant food they might contain. Ashes
also contain a small percentage of
phosphoric acid-from one to two
per cent, and from twenty-five to
thirty-two per cent. Of lime.
The nitrogen in poultry manure is
rather volatile, and particularly so as
the poultry manure ferments very
readily. To mix wood ashes contain
ing a considerable per cent. of lime
with poultry manure would there
fore be undesirable. 1t will not be
Objectionable for you TO apply wood
ashes ten days before you utilize the
poultry manure. Suppose you use
the ashes broadcast on the land and
work them in well with a harrow or
disk c~ultivator. Then, a few days
later, when ready to plant your po-
tatoes you can use the poultry ma
nure underneath the drill row. Poul-
try manure is particularly valuable
for the nitrogen it contains. 1t should
therefore be carefully preserved and
applied to the land as soon as pos
sible and covered with. soil to pre-
vent the escape of nitrogen in the
form of ammonia. Poultry manure
contains only a small per cent. OF
phosQhorics acid and potash, so that
| additional supplies of these elements
should be used for a crop like Irish
potatoes which requires to be liber-
ally fed. Suppose you use $50 to
twenty pounds of high=grade acid
phosphate or 200 pounds Of basic
| Stag on each acre with 500 to 500
pounds of wood ashes per. acre. This
will make you. q good fertilizer for
potatoes. If the land is wells pre-
pared and contains a fair supply OF
vegetable matter, you should be able
to make a good crop under these con-
ditions. Professor Soule.

r A Daily Poultry Inventory.

Every farmer should endeavor to
know the causes of loss among his
fowls and chicks. Hundreds of
chicks are Matched on farms and lost
in various ways, yet the losses can
mt be accounted for. Count the
chickens often, and if one is miss
ing aim to know the cause. 1t does
mt nay to hatch several hundred
chicks and lose the larger portion.
# frequently happens that farmers
do not count their chicks until they
are half grown, not knowing how
many the cats, dogs, rats, owls,
hawks and other enemies have taken,
il then being too late to make amends
in protecting the chicks.
The actual profit derived from a
flock of fowls cannot easily be esti-
mated, unless one places a value on
all foods consumed on the farm by
the fowls, as we'll as on the con-
sumption of poultry products on the
mart of the pOultrymaa and his fam
ily. Careful accounts of a flock of
hens will show that they consume
mduN 1OOOO (Ao( SOSL luS 1dE1u0E
nothing, such as table scraps, grass,
wastes at the barnyard, etc.; but
everything on the farm has a value,
even if but to be plowed under as a
fertilizer. Whether the food is pur-
chased or grown it costs something,
in some form, and if an estimate can
be made of its value, it should be
charged against the flock. In favor
of the hens they should be credited
with all that which they produce.
All eggs used on the farmers table
cost him something, even though laid
by his own hens, and he really buys
meat and eggs from his hens and
sells them their foods, whether he
keeps accounts with them or allows
the matter to be overlooked. There
is a business transaction between the
man and the flock, though perhaps
not recognized, but it exists never
theless, the profits or loss depending
upon how much the man can get for
the food which he sells to his fowls
and the exchange value of the poul-
try and eggs which he receives as
pay and converts into money. Even
the droppings have value.
Every market welcomes choice
poultry, and at all seasons of the
year. The demand for good poultry
is constantly on the increase, whether
for the fancy varieties or for con-
sumption. Beginners in every por-
ton of the country are constantly
coming forward to take up the high
bred birds produced from season to
season to experiment in their way.
The demand for chickens and eggs
everywhere in our markets, or for
family uses, has been enormously
enlarged for the past few years.
1t is never out of place to caution
against losses. When a chick is found
dropping look on the skin of the
head and neck and you will prob
ably find some huge lice. The same
with young turkeys. One-half of the
young chicks and turkeys die from
the attacks of lice. 1t takes but
little time to examine for the de-
stroyers. Look for the large lice
not the little mites.-P. H. Jacobs.

HOW ENGLAND IN SHRINKING.
Every Year the Ocean Takes Toll
From "the Tight Little Isle.

england does not book as large to
Americans OF today as it did to our
great .grandfathers, nor is the reason
all to be found in historical perspec-
rive. As a matter of fact, England
is really much smaller than it was
in their day, because II has lost Glous-
ands OF acres by marine erosion.
Bvery year the ocean takes heavy
toll from "the tight little island"
1t is a long time since Ravensqur
was a name Of meaning ever to Eng
ltshmen, yet in 1899 Ravenspur was a
large and prominent city, more i'm
portant than the city of Hull is to-
day. Henry w. landed there in that
Syear, as Shakespeare notes. The city
sent two men to Parliament: but like
many other towns in that part OF
Yorkshire, it long ago vanished under
the sea.
in the reign OF Edward I, says a
writer in the New York Sun, Corn
wall measured fifteen hunrred THUS
and acres. Today just half Of that "
left, the rest washed away by the sea.
It Is said that between Lands End
and the Sicily Islands lie n hund-
red and forty parish churches and
villages. A line Of anchorage OF Sci
sey in Sussex is still called by sailors
"The Park" 1t won dts name in
Henry Wills reign, when 1t was a
deer park, famous for its stays.
Dunw4ch, the ancient capital of East
Anglia, furnished forty ships to Henry
ILL.,, and vas so powerful as to appaIl
the Earl Of Leicester. A forest lay
between the city and the sea-, but in
Edward IFS reign the Q engulfed
four hundred OF its houses. In 1877
combers washed in the market-pBace,
and in ZOO the great church OF st.
Peters collapsed into the sea-.
More recently, in a single night,
three hundred thousand dollars worth
Of damage was done in the Kenttsh
town of Margate. Within the last de-
cade Sussex has tost three hundred
and seventyfour acres to the sea, and
other counties in proportion.
Hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
are spent every year by the coast
cities maintaining seawalls and coast
defenses, but every year come storms
which tear these ramparts to pieces.
In a single night hundreds of feet OF
granite wall will be torn away, the
massive blocks rolled out to sea or
thrown higher on the land, and gaps
in the wall of defense established.
TRAINS of supplies are kept at proper
points TO aid in repairing such
breaches.
A royal commission on coast ero-
sion has been appointed to study this
whole matter OF invasion by the sea,
and to propose measures Of more ef
fective defense.
