Profitable Ranching

II. B. Lehman, farmer near Glen dale, gives the Arizona Republican an estimate of the net profits of his sixty. acre farm. His farm is mostly alfalfa, cows and chickens. He sells his milk to the creamery, and the returns for milk | for the year amount to $900. which is an average of $5 per month for his if teen cows.
 He keeps 1000 hens, mostly for eggs. His sales from this department for the past year amounted to $l 900, and the net profit he estimates at $1 300. So the sixty acres, by his figures, has netted $2, 100. The eggs, butter, milk, cream and garden stutfs used by the family is not considered in the estimate. He further said that the conditions could not well be considered normal, for a constant and regular supply of water as promised by the reservoir should make n material difference.
 One can easily imagine the difference. First, he could keep twice the number of cows and be only half stocked up to the capacity of sixty acres. A number in the vicinity of Mesa report their re- turns from the creamery as amounting to $l0 per month per COW, so thirty acres at that rate would amount to s. 900 per year instead of 1900.
 To devote a farm exclusively to cows and poultry and make no use of the manure is willful waste. Fruits and vegetables are natural adjunct to the dairy farm. Say ten acres planted to wheat and corn and five acres to veget- ables of standard kinds and this heav- fly manured and rotated with the alfal- ia, would within few years make a wonderful difference in results. The ten acres of wheat and corn should add an other sl ,000 in grain, beside consider able green pasture for winter The fruits and vegetables at a conservative estimate should add another $l 900, and the increased production of hay and pasture should add a value to the young stock amounting to another $l,000. So the result would be in round numbers $7,S00 per year on the sixty acres.
 On the other hand, we have farmers who cannot make a living on forty or sixty acres, and are forced to get out and hunt job at dollar day. From the cradle their children's greatest ann bition is to "get job" Some have been known to run away from home at the tender age of 6 years sure of finding job as their parents and older brothers and sisters do.
 All the reservoirs in the United States and United Kingdom would be of no benefit to this class of the population.

The worthy son of a noble sire, a budding general of the American army and a social lion in the shadow of the White House, is soon to be transplanted to the Arizona sage brush, according to recent dispatch from Washington, which says: Orders were issued at the war department today relieving Second Lieutenant Philip H. Sheridan from fur ther duty under the direction of the superintendent of public buildings and grounds in Washington and ordering him to join his troop, which is now stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Young Sheridan, who is a son of the late General Phil Sheridan, is attached to the Fifth cavalry and for the last two years has been assigned to the White House as one of the military aides to the president. As such he has been conspicuous at all of the social functions. The order of today sends him to the wilds of Arizona, where so- ciety does not flourish in the same de- gree of splendor as in Washington. No reason is assigned for the transfer ex- cept that it is in line with the policy of giving other young officers similar advantages. Sheridan is now at Fort Sheridan, Illinois.

The least understood and the most

to provide an ample and balanced ra-
ton for corn than for cattle, because
cattle are usually able to move about

BY Prof. X. A. Moore.

During the five years work with
corn at the experiment station few
things have been learned that are OF
vital interest to the corn breeder.
For Improvement of yield we should
observe careful selection of seed ears
when stalk study is permissible. The
ears should not be taken from the
stalks until well matured. Seed corn
should not be dumped on a foor, but
hung up in a well-ventilated room or
top of corn crib to dry. A well-ven-
tilated furnace room is an admirable
place to cure corn. A small outside
building, we'll ventilated, with corn
racks arranged, and shielded stove In

FACTORS in
CROP GROWING
BY Prof. Cyril G. Hopkins, Chief of
Departn ent of Chemistry and
Asronomy, Illinois Aart-
cultural College.

There are six essential and positive
factors in crop production: CD the
seed, (2) the home or lodging place,
(3) moisture, (4) heat, (5) light. and
(6) plant food Some negative fac
tors are injury from insects and plant
diseases.
Good seed is exceedingly important,
and planted is largely under the con-
troll of the farmer.
By proper drainage and by the use
of organic matter, and by the proper
tillage, thus maintaining good physi-
cal conditions, the farmer may pro-
vide suitable home for the plant, re-
move surplus water, render the soil
more capable of absorbing and retain
ing necessary moisture, and control
the temperature to some extent by
lessening evaporation and by chang
ing the color Of the soil, as by the ad-
dition of organic matter.
More than five times as much heat
is required to evaporate water from
the surface of the soil as would be
needed to raise the temperature of the
same amount Of water from the freez-
ing to the boiling point. 1t is because
of this that wet. poorly drained soils
are cold. Dark soils absorb more heat
and consequently are warmer than
light colored soils.
Light Is a factor over which man
has no direct or positive control, but
he has full control over some negative
factors, such as weeds, which, If al
lowed to grow, might largely prevent
the light from reaching the young
plants. Indeed, the first and greatest
damage caused by weeds is due to the
fact that they shut off the light from
the growing plants. If the supply OF
moisture or of plant food is insufh.
cient for both the crop and the weeds,
then the weeds may rob the growing
crop of these essentials to some ex
tent.
So-called nurse crops, such as oats
or wheat, when growing with clover
may grow SO thick and rank as to
| injure to a marked extent the clover
by shutting out the light, also by rob
bing the clover plants OF moisture and
plant food. To avoid these injuries
or difficulties, the clover should be
started with very light seeding OF
wheat or oats (about one bIshel to
the acre) preferably planted in drills
running north and south. which will

he recognized them: we didn't. Every
great mind has a hobby; collecting
old hay tickets must be his.
We contracted this hay at four dol
lars per ton, but when they tried to

bands overcoat, which he left hang

cut we were going into the sheep
business-and determined to fight it

their dignity and overcoats. 1t is
probably all they will have left If the
landslides continue in the sheep
market.
The hay was not only full of sand
burs, but il wasn't hay. We forward
ed sample to the department of agri-
culture; they were unable to classify
it, but said they would have it ana
lyzed and make report. We would
advise all sheep men to raise their
own hay as we'll as lawyers, as it
saves much loss and annoyance and
does away with the necessity of send
ing them to Washington for analysis
to find out what they are good for.
Do not buy hay containing sandburs.

stomachs of our sheep, causing them

as well as his socks.

may know what it is good for. We

it might be turned over to a new
sheep feeder at profitable advantage
by some one WHO knows how.
