According to the latest assay returns
the ore shows values averaging $25.70

100 feet deeper in order to become more
thoroughly convinced of the values and
then go on the other side of the hill and
run a tunnel which, when it taps the
vein will give a backing of over 400

final papers had been signed.
That Mr.. Fitting says the truth can
not be disputed. after his recent ex-
ploits in the same region. Less than one
month ago he bought and later sold
to Chas. NJ. Schwab the McAfee Copper
which is recognized by experts to be
one of the greatest bodies of high grade
copper in the world and probably second
only to Butte. Forty men are already
, at work. To Chas. NJ. Schwab, Mr.. Fit
ting sold the Bunker Hill mine, known
for years as the greatest lead prospect
in the world. over 100 cars of ore have
been shipped from this splendid pros
pect and not a single car averaged less
than 20 per cent lead per ton. while
thousands of tons of lower grade ore
still remain in the Slopes or dump.

A MODEL DAIRY FARM.

Because Of the fact that there are
100000 dairy cows in the state Of
Iowa that are hardly paying their
board bills, those in charge of the
animal husbandry department at the
state experiment station have decided
to equip model dairy farm, and it
will be their purpose not only to make
the farm a source of actual profit from
the financial point of view, but a
source of help to the vast dairy inter
ests of the state. Two hundred acres
Of land lying near the college have
been bought and are to be devoted to
the purpose mentioned. Careful tests
will be made with view to showing
the dairy value of the Individual cow.
Six leading breeds will be entered for
record. Each day during the period
of the test the quantity and quality Of
the milk will be noted, while all feed
will be weighed and the results care
fully observed. The results Of the
tests, together with deductions there
from, will be put in pamphlet form
and mailed to every farmer in the
state who wants such information.

Road TIES

In view of the fact that the railroads
of the country are consuming about
110000,000 cross ties every year, the
forestry policy that has been decided
upon by the Pennsylvania railroad
officials is of more than ordinary in
terest This has taken definite shape
in the appointment of e. A. Sterling,
formerly assistant forester in the de-
partment of agriculture, as forester of
the road mentioned, who will take
charge Of the forestry work which has
been inaugurated by the road with a
view to furnishing the cross ties needed
for its own repair and construction
work. During the past five years
100000 trees have been planted on
land owned by the company, while
during this and next spring $50 acres
Of the company's land near Altoona,
Pa, will be set out to chestnut and
red oak seedlings. Since this one road
uses $5000,000 Of ties per year and the
price is now 20 cents each the impor-
lance Of the work undertaken will be
seen at glance.

THE HORTICULTURIST.
He Should Be Man Of Culture and OF
Science.

He Should Be Man of Culture and of
Science.
In his annual address before the
Kansas State Horticultural society the
president of the society said:
Horticulture is a broad term. Ev-
erything that makes our. country beau
tiful and sweet to live in is embraced
by it. Not alone the skilled opera
lions of the gardener and fruit grower,
but the landscape builder and forest
planter, are allied with it.
The horticulturist should be an edu-
Gator of the public tastes as regards
trees, flowers, fruit, gardens and lawns.
In his enthusiasm along these lines he
should be infective, thereby stimulat-
ing tree planting by the roadside, the
making Of parks, adjoining cemeteries
and beautifying school grounds.
Culture and Science.
Such horticulturists are always val
ued and honored in every community
in which they live One of the great
est needs in every community is this
type of individuality.
The horticulturist to succeed should
be broad intellectually He should be
a man Of culture and of science. His
knowledge should be worldwide regard
ing it's industry, it's markets, it's his
tory and it's commercial needs. He
should be a representative citizen in
his community This he may accom-
pljsh by vigorous efforts to comprehend
the sciences which are necessary to
succeed in his profession.
Can Accomplish Much.
He can accomplish much by associa-
ton with the advanced horticulturists,
who meet from time to time in conven-
tions like this to study the many prob
lens concerning their professionalism
is, the planting cultivation, varieties
to plant, marketing Of their products
and kindred subjects.
That the farm has suffered by the
depletion Of the best blood and Drawn
is a well known fact. Owing to devel-
opments Of the past few years to a
higher intellectual standing Of our
farming community greater indSce-
ments are offered to our youth, and
many who in the past sought other
avocations are now found engaged in
farming. l believe the farm is the
best place for our youth; that there is
a greater amount of happiness to be
derived from our country homes than
elsewhere.

THE PROGRESSIVE DANES.

The remarkable progress Of the
Danes along dairy, stock raising and
strictly agricultural lines has ra-
tional basis, and this is to be found in
their splendid system of agricultural
schools, there being forty-eight institu-
lions of this kind in Denmark, while
the most progressive states in this
country have but one each. Added to
this is the further practice the Danes
have Of making a careful study Of the
tastes and wants Of the patrons who
consume their products. This not only
enables them to produce that for which
there is a demand, but also results in
bringing them the highest market
prices. These methods and conditions
have resulted in giving Danish butter
and bacon a worldwide reput, lion and
greatly increased financial returns

A WORD or CAUTION.

When we note the very large num-
Der of central western farmers in the
northern states who are selling their
holdings in sections which have not
known a crop failure because Of
drought in a generation and investing
their hard earned dollars in more and
cheaper acres in central Dakota. Ne.
braska, Kansas and Texas, there comes
the thought that in all likelihood these
same settlers will see the time in the
near future when they will lose prac-
tically everything as a result of
drought conditions that are likely to
prevail. Both Secretary Wilson of the
department Of agriculture and Director
Moore Of the weather service agree il
the opinion that there will in all prob
ability be a return to the dry cOndi-
tons which prevailed several years
ago when settlers in the districts men
toned seldom raised more than half
crop once in three or four years, the
other seasons witnessing a burning up
of practically all vegetation by the
scorching southwest winds. Meteoro-
logical observations covering a long
period of years point to the fact that
weather conditions seem to go in cy-
cles and that where it has been very
dry once it is likely to be just as dry
again. We would advise any prospec-
tive home seeker to look up the tenn
perature, rainfall and crop record Of
any locality in which he is about to
locate covering a period of thirty or
forty years, and this before he invests
in any land. If this record is not en-
tirely satisfactory-llot for three or
four but dozen or twenty years in
succession-he would far better stay
where he is and charge his travelling
expenses under the head Of justifable
education.

LAW OF NATURAL SELECTION.

LAW OF NATURAL SELECTION.
Size Of body in sheep, cattle and
horses is in quite close correspondence
to the richness of soil and abundance
Of field in the district or territory in
which they are raised. Shetland po-
MES brought to this country from their
bleak and rugged home are said to be
growing gradually larger, while it Is
well known fact that large breeds
of cattle or sheep removed to districts
where the feed is scant and poor will
materially decrease in size in the
course Of few years The same un-
derlying fact-namely, deficient nutri-
tion-is also responsible for failure on
the part Of the amateur poultryman
to raise specimens of thoroughbred
poultry of as large size as the indi-
viduals in the pens Of the fancier from
whom he purchased his eggs. The I'M
DERIVING principle involved is one that
every farmer and stock raiser should
keep In mind in his feeding operations.

Rose Outlines.

Roses of the monthly class in the
window or greenhouse like a sunny
position, but should not be kept too
warm. Guard against greenfy. Start
up the hybrid perpetuals that were pot
ted in autumn and thus wintered, and
when buds appear apply liquid ma
nure. There is no better season for
rose propagation than from now on.
Use cuttings from the best and strong
est wood Of recent growth. Never al
low the plant to suffer from want of
water from the time the cutting is put
in until the young plant is fit to set
out. To get good plants they should
be kept in continuous healthy growth.
