WinsIOW Notes.
From the Mail.

High water in the Puerco river has caused the Santa Fe officials some anxiety during the past week the sudden raise having caused some damage to the dykes at Adamana. On Monday after noon the water at that point had entirely surrounded the hotel and was running between the track and the tank so that a washOut was looked for at any time. Monday evening a work train with rock, timbers and other material was started from here to make temporary repairs. Supt. Gibson accompanied this train and made a personal inspec- tion of the damage in order to decide what was necessary in the way of repairs. A large number of sacks filled with sand as well as a quantity of rock has been placed on the embankments to prevent further washouts 1t be ing impossible to make perma- nent repairs until the water has receded.

Baseball Notes

Stafford, of Albuquerque, who pitched Sundays game for the losers, has asked Dr. Bazell to give him a trial with the team saying that with the support ac- corded a pitcher by the Winslow boys he could pitch winning ball. Stafford may be given an oppor- tunity when the boys go to Albu- querque.
 Bazell and Chatfeld, the invin- cible battery of the Winslow team will go to Prescott with the Flagstaff boys to play there next Sunday. The Flagstaff team hope that with the addition of these two players they will be able to bring back the scalp of the Prescott bunch.
 On August Sth and 9th the Winslow boys will play ball at Prescott. As the Territorial Democratic Convention is set for August Sth a goodly number of outsiders will be there at that time, a special rate being expect ed to be in effect for that event. A few of the real fans are arrang- ing to go with the team to help matters along.
 The grand stand was packed full Sunday. which shows that Winslow turns out to encourage the players.
 A game between WinslOw and the Barelas Grays of Albuquer- que will probably be pulled off here some time during the month of August. Manager Bazell is now in communication with the manager of the Grays and satis- factory arrangements will pro- bably be concluded during the forthcoming week and a date set for the game. As the Grays are the present champions of New Mexico an interesting time is promised the Winslow team when they meet, but with "the help of the grand stand" we hope to win out.

The rainy season for Northern Arizona is now in full force aud the country is becoming thor oughly soaked, the ranges are taking on a green hue, which makes the stoCkman jubilant. Hardly a day this week has passed without rain either here or iH tho immediate vicinity. There was precipitation here Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the amount of water that fell on Wednesday being as much as the flood of a week ago Thursday. However, there was no damage done to property as the rain spread over more country. Tuesday there was considerable waterfall all the way along the railaoad from Gallup to Holbrook.

THE BACON HOG.

Owing to the fact that corn is not
grown In northeastern Minnesota as
safely and abun6antly as barley and
peas 1t has been considered more
profitable to raise a bacon breed of
hogs rather than the lard breeds. For
this reason a bacon breed (the large
improved Yorkshire) has been raised
exclusively on the experiment farm.
1t is this breed that is raised so ex-
tensively and profitably in Canada and
on precisely the same feed as Is
grown here in abundance, clover, roots.
barley, peas and the by-product of the
dairy, skim milk.
The brood sows on the experiment
farm are wintered on second crop
clover, boiled roots, skim milk and a
very small allowance of grain (one-
half pound per head day.. They are
comfortable during the day, exercise
in December to farrow in March, and
| only one litter year. Fall pigs don't
pay. Only brood sows should be car
ried through the winter, and when a
| sow has proved to be a good mother
she should be kept as long as she is
! productive, which is generally from
four to six years.

ALFALFA PALACE Is PLANNED

While "corn is king" alfalfa is un-
doubtedly queen" in the western states
and to his queen King Corn is to build
a palace in Omaha which will be one
of the special features of the Ma
tional Corn exposition to be held there
December to 10.
The alfalfa palace" is planned by
the directors of the corn show because
of the increasing interest in the crop
and its growing importance as food
for cattle. The palace is to be built
OF oales Of alfalfa and lined with ex-
hibits of alfalfa and other grasses.
valuable premiums are to be offered
for the best types Of the alfalfa plant,
and many growers will secure hay
presses and modern machines for
baling the alfalfa.
Much attention is to be given alfalfa
at the National Corn exposition, as II
10 now recognized that 1t is necessary
food for stock The best authorities
have demonstrated that cattle cannot
use to advantage all the carbohydrates
and oil in corn without a protein ra-
tion. 1t is waste to feed straight corn
to stock in preparing them for mar
keI and the big packing houses are
now paying better prices for the stock
fattened on a mixture of corn and al
calfa.
Then the mixture is cheaper. Few
feeders are still of the opinion that
they can afford to feed straight corr
worth 60 to 65 cents per bushel to cat
tie for which they receive from $3.50
to IS at the outside. For this reason
those interested in agriculture are tc
secure exhibits and give demonstra-
tions of interest to every grower ol
feeder of alfalfa, when the big pal.
ace is opened at Omaha in December

Production of Precious Stones.

The total value of the precious stones
produced in the United States during
1907 is placed by the geological sur
vey at 471,300 as compared with $685.
600 in 1906. This great increase is due
chiefly to a very large output of sap
phire in Montana, of both the blue and
the variegated variety. The total pro-
huction of sapphire in the United States
for 1907 is estimated at $229,S00 Tour
maline is second in Importance, and Is
placed at $S4,120. Among other i'm
portant gems produced were chryso-
prase, to the value of $45,500; califor-
mite, $4,000; turquoise, $23,S40; spod-
umene gems (kunzite and hiddenite),
$14,500; Varicite, utahlite, and anna
trice. $500; rose quartz, beryl and
acquamarine and garnet, each over
$4,000.
A new gem Observation-Disclosures
been added to the list of known pre-
cious stones This is a titanosilicate
of barium, having a blue color and a
high refractivc index. 1t is found in
San Benito county, California. The
reopening of the emerald hiddenite
mine in Alexander county North Caro-
lima, during 1907 is of interest, since
the supply of hiddenite for jewelry has
become very low.
1t is difficult to obtain figures that
adequately represent the value of the
production of precious stones. 1t is
the aim of the geological survey to
give statistics that show the value of
the output in the rough state. This is
often impossible since it cannot be
known what a certain lot of mineral
will yield when selected and cut.
Some of the figures furnished are evil

more than the cost of mining.
An advance chapter containing the

| rett forming a part of the annual vol
ume of mineral resources of the
United States, will soon be ready for

Echo of Rismarek's Dismissal.


A new version of the events leading up
to Prince Bismarcks dismissal from the
post of imperial chancellor is furnished
by the Aargauer Nachrlchten, which the
Berliner Tageblatt regards as not in-
probable. According to this account,
which is published In connection with
the death of DR.. Roth, late Swiss minis
ter in Berlin, the Swiss federal council
in 1880 desired a workmen's conference to
be held at Berne, whereas Emperor Will
liam IL. convened a labor conference at
Berlin, to which Prince Bismarck OBJ
jected. The imperial chancellor thereupon
privately visited DIR. Roth and pressed
him to insist on Berne as the seat of the
conference. The emperor. hearing Of
Prince Bismarck's visit himself went TO
Dr. Roth at dead of night and satisfied
himself of the truth of the report. The
following day the emperor dismissed
Prince Bismarck and at the same time
presented DR.. Roth with a portrait OF
himself, bearing the autograph inscrip.

r. IL. Coburn, In Iowa Homestead.
All admire a good looking hog, and
there is no reason why good looks
should not go with the highest useful
ness but neither good looks nor fancy
breeding should stand for q moment
In the way of the hog that combines
vigor of constitution, growthiness and
reasonably early maturity with form
pleasing to the eye. When we come to
the final test of beauty, pretty is as
pretty does" The prettiest hog after
all, Is the one that Is most profitable;
the one that makes the most and best
pounds of gain from a hundred pounds
of the most inexpensive dry matter;
the one that makes the largest contri-
button toward providing for the fam
lily necessities; toward meeting the in
terest on the mortgage, and to paying
the mortgage itself; for the addition
to the house, the new carpet the plano
or organ, the new dresses for the girls,
or their education at school.
If the breeders of any breed depart
from the practical hog they make a
mistake, for sooner or later the COM
mon sense farmer will demand the
common sense hog, and will waive any
preference he may have for particular
color or hair. curl of tail or droop of
ear. If breeders of any breed depart
from this for any considerable length
of time farmers may say little about II,
but they will buy some other breed
that more nearly meets their require
ments.
