SALE OF 4 SECTION ID LOCAL SYNDICATE
VALUABLE TRACT SIX MILES FROM MESA CITY CHANGES
 HANDS
Will be Offered to Settlers at an Early
 Day in Smaller Holdings.

w. K. James is one of the local real estate dealers who has no complaints to make concerning the proverbial summer dullness. He would be pretty well satisfied with his August and early September work, even were it not the so-called slow season. Yester- day he sold for C. J. Beauvais, to a syndicate of Phoenix and Mesa City people, operating through $. E. Tag gart of this city, as trustee, d choice section of land six miles south of Mesa City, under the new Highland or East ern canal. It is more accurately de- scribed as section in township 1 south, range east.
 The selling price of the land was not made public, but it is known that the figures were not less than $50 per acre, and that that entire section. it will be remembered. was not salable at any price. only a few short months ago, though it is being sought after now most assiduously, under new condi- tions. The land itself is regarded as an exceptionally fine piece of property and has been bought solely for invesi . ment. That is the owners expect I1 resell it in smaller holdings, forty acres and up. just as soon as they se- cure desirable offers.
 This is by no means the only sale of Mir. James during the last six weeks but only his most recent one. He has been doing business all the time sometimes taking up a little snap on his own account, as when he bought a fine corner opposite the Carnegie li- brary on West Washington street not long ago.
 Another recent sale for c. J. Beau vais, vas that of six warehouse lots between the two railroads and between Second and third streets, the consider ation being S7.00O. He has made sev- eral smaller deals. for instance the sale of a residence property in University addition off Grand avenue, to George Weisel. a Phoenix barber. Another was The sale of fine corner in the Simms addition where the buyer pro- poses shortly to erect a nice residence.
 The largest sale he has made re- gently, however, and one of the large sales of the summer, was that recently mentioned in these columns when he disposed of the thirty-acre orange orange grove of pr. Win Wylie to Henry Leppla of Spearfish. s. D.. about a week ago The notable fea- ture of that sale was that MT. Leppla was merely a chance visitor in Phoenix and saw good thing and bought it, and left at once tO tell his northern friends about the wonderful oppOrtuni- ties in this country for investment.

There is promise that some i'll feel

Cost Of Feeding Rats.

In an illustrated article on the rat nest
in its October number, Popular Mechan,
les makes the following interesting Stale.
ment:
The brown rat is practically omnivor.
Gus. Its bill OF fare includes seeds and
grains of all kinds, flour, meal, and food
products made from them; fruits and
garden vegetables, mushrooms, bark "r Of
growing trees, bulbs, roots, stems, leaves
and flowers of herbaceous plants epgs
chicks, ducklings, young pigeons vonnT
rabbits, milk, butter, cheese fires mnot
carrion, mice, fish, frogs. and mnsSoiS
This great variety Of food explains Tho
ease with which rats adapt themselves 70
almost any environment.
Experiments show that the AVERAGE
quantity of grain consumed by a full
grown, rat is fully two ounces dav. and
half-grown rat eats about as mich as
an adult, Fed on grain, rat eats t"t AZ as as
80 lbs. year, worth about 60 cents #
wheat, or $3.50 if oatmeal. Fed on beef.
steaks worth ,25 cents a pound. or on
chicks or squads with a much higher pro
spectlve value, the cost of maintaining a
rat is proportionately increased. Granted
that more than half the food of rats is
waste, the average cost of keeping one rat
is still upward Of 2j cents year.
If an accurate census of the rats of the
United States were possible, reasonably
correct calculation Of the minimum cost
of feeding them could be made from the
above data. If the number of rats sup
ported by the people throughout the
United States were no more than equal
to the number of domestic animals on the
CATTLE sheep, and hogs
the minimum cost of feeding them would
be upward of 100000 a year. To
some such enormous total every farmer,
and every householder who has rats upon
his premises contributes a share

WEEDS FOR MEDICAL USE.
They are Growing Wild ALI Around US,
Common as Air

We are actually importing to this coun-
try TOR medicinal purposes plants that are
growing wild all around us, but which no
one seems to think it worth while to
gather This fact is pointed out by, the
department of agriculture in bulletin
would be worth while for the boy who
reads this to write for if he wants to
make a little money out of the vacant
ground all around him. The bulletin will
explain how to prepare the weeds Tor the
market and will give some idea of the
prices that the industrious boy can eX-
pect to obtain for the weeds that are
marketable
Belgium and other European countries
ship to this part of the world every year
about fifty pounds of burdock root. The
root sells from three to eight cents
pound and the seeds from five to ten
cents. This will probably be news to most
of those diligent workers who have been
wedding out the burdock from thousands
of farms and carefully consigning it to
the flames, while the more thrifty Euro
peans have been selling it to us in CON
signments that come more than three
thousand miles to a country that abounds
in it.
Who has not wondered at the sight OF
Italians digging for dandelions? The coun-
try boy knows that dandelion green's are
not bad for the table, but what few, but
the astute alien are wise to it that drug
gists derive part of their income from. the
sale of dandelion as a tonic, and that from
four to six cents a. pound can be OBJ
tanned Of the root that fourishes every
where ready for the picking.
Instead of gathering the dock root that
goes to waste all around us the American
nation pays for the importation of $4,000
pounds of this plant every year. The
dried root sells at from two to eight cents
a pound and is considered an excellent
blood medicine. The waste lands are alive
with it, and any boy could make money by
gathering and preparing it for the market
\ quarter of a million pounds OF dog
grass, a remedy for kidney troubles, come
to this country annually from. abroad
It it because we cannot grow dog grass
in America? No. but because for some
reason this unthrifty nation imports it
instead of pulling it up and preparing it
from the places where it grows all around
us. 1t brings from three to seven cents
a pound. Here's chance for the boy who
finds the long vacation begin to pail upon
