BUYING MIXED FEEDS.

A subscriber asks our opinion as
to the "best mixed feedstuff for
horses"
The habits of buying ready mixed
feeds is becoming all too common
throughout our territory. Why shoul
any man buy ready mixed feed for
his live stock? The only rea-
sons that can be given are that he
cannot get suitable feedstuff himself
and cannot mix them as we'll as the
large establishments offering mixed
feeds for sale. 1t requires some
knowledge of the composition of feed
ing stuffs to mix them in such a
way as to form a properly balanced
ration, and a balanced ration for
some sort of animal doing a certain
kind of work may not be balanced
ration for another kind of animal do
ing different work, or even for the
same kind of animal doing different
work. To balance a ration we must
know the composition of the feeds
to be used and the needs of the ami
NAL for doing the kind of work for
which it is being fed. For instance
AN idle horse may be fed differently
from "a growing colt or even hard
working mature horse.
1t may in rare cases be enough
more convenient to those living in
town to buy ready mixed feeds to
Justify the greater cost, but this is
usually not the case If mixed feeds
are to be purchased they should be
paid for on a basis of the digestible
protein, carbohydrates and fats they
contain and not by the ton or sack.
In addition, the taste or appetite of
the animal to be fed and the work
expected of it should always be duly
considered.
In our territory the most ready ava
liable and cheapest feeds for horses
are corn ,cottonseed meal, corn fodder
and grass and legume hays Oats
are a standard and most excellent
feed for horses but are usually SO
high in prices as to be excluded from
the ration

rials. in proportions fitted to the re-
quirements of the work being done
will be as good and generally cheap
er per pound of materials contained
than any of the ready mixed feeds
with which we are familiar
Our Southern notion that one-horse
turning plows are good either to
brake the soil or to tend the crop

poverty when we had a super-abun.
dance of labor and little of anything
else. Those days of darkness have
passed. Let the methods of darkness
pass with them. We should be asham-
ed to continue longer to plant little
one or two acre patches of corn and
to depend ON commercial fertilizers
to make the crops on these little
patches. Let US plant corn enough
rat least, to feed our stock-though
we must not make the equally great
mistake eof trying to feed this stock
on corn alone,-and then let us get
humus in cur soils to make a decent
crop of corn at reasonable cost

ANOTHER APPLE KING.
Two: One is King Quality, the other
King Quantity.

Missouri is now the greatest apple
tree State, though, according to the
census, the production of apples is
greater in New York Missouri has
20, ,O40 1899 trees and New York 15,-
O54, 1872 trees The total acreage OF
apple and pear trees mostly apples,
of course, is 100000 acres.
The total number of apple trees in
the United States is 201, ,974,642, &C
cording tothe last ,census-1908 and
that number will be greatly increased
in the next few years if the plans
of the principal growers of the West
are carried out.
If the claims of the far Western
growers are justified, a census five
years from now will show quite differ
ent results than the above. AT the
Spokane apple show few months
ago Michael Horan, an orchardist, of
Wenatchee, Wash, was crowned APP
pie king of America, having eaptur-
ed the chief prize of 81 900 for the
best carload exhibit.
There will be many probably to dis
pute the title, but according to Van
Norde11's Magazine, Mr.. Horan's ex-
hibit was marvellous. His carload con
sisted of 63o boxes, $4,000 apples,
which scored 96A out of a possible
100 points in quality and appearance.
The prize-winning fruit was later dis
played in England.
Mr.. Horan is a native OF Stock
bridge, Mass, which town he left to
engage in breaking horses In Califor-
MIA. He went to Washington IN 1855
where he grazed cattle on the pres
ent site of Wenatchee and the val
ley, buying thousands CT acres of
land at SO cents an acre. AT the show
a few months ago he was able to say

TREASURES OF DEATH VALLEY.
Mysteries Of Forbidden Spot Are Be
coming Known.

Slowly, but surely, inch by inch,
in the face of drought and intense
heat, man is solving the mysteries
OF Death Valley, and one by one it's
hitherto unlocked treasure vaults are
being thrown open to add to the
wealth of the world. There is gold
In large and small quantities through
out the length of the valley, particu-
laely at Skiddoo and other neighbor-
ing camps in the Panaminta; there
is copper a-plenty, enough borax to
supply the entire world for many a
year, and now it seems probable that
the district will soon be known as
laige producer Of rock salt.
These salt deposits are found in
the foothills of the Avawatz Noun
tains, at the southern end OF Death
Valley, and within sixteen miles of
the Tonopah and Ti1ewater Railroad.
There are four distinct bodies known
as Death Valley, King. Salt Basin
and Jumbo Salt Mines. The salt ap-
pears to lie in ledge form with we'll
defined walls, particularly on the up
per hanging side.
The deposits have been we'll known
to prospectors for many years, but it
was not until the completion of the
railroad that they assumed any COM
mercial value. Years ago some of the
material was freighted to the Tecopa
mine for use in chIorination mill in
use of the property when it was
mined for it's high surface values
of silver
The Death Valley mine consists of
80 acres, and It is upon this ground
| that the large part of the present de-
| W ]opement of the deposits has been
dome. The showing is 500 feet wide
by 1000 feet in length, the salt being
covered with washed gravel and mud
to a minimum depth of ten feet.
Where the salt has been most ex-
nosed to the elements it has dissolv-
| ed and mixed with the mud and grav-
el forming an incrustation harder
even than the rock salt. The devel-
opement consists of numerous open
| cuts, tunnels and shafts, all pene-
trating the surface incrilstation and
showing pure salt in the face. 1t is
estimated that there are 250,O00 tons
of salt already exposed in this de-
posit.
The King mine lies one mile to the
north of the Death Valley property
and shows salt for more than 100
| feet in width, traceable for 200 feet.
In one place the rock salt stands
so feet above the surrounding forma-
ton. The Salt Basin property lies

which is really continuation of the

southeast is the Jumbo mine, showing
