Putnam Confident of Winning from
panielson.

There is a calm confidence among the baseball fans of Putnam that Danielson will once again be the vic- tim of the mighty outfit of Manager Bowen when the alien team comes here for the last time this season on Saturday. The game means much to Putnanl-perhaps the winning of the pennant and there is no such thing as affording to lose it. Putnam must win if they ever hope to take advantage of any slip that Jewett City may make and Jewett City may slip. The loss of one game by Jewett City. out of the remaining two to be played before the end of the season, means a tie with Putnam if the locals can keep winning. While there is no sport so uncertain in it's possibilities as base ball Putnam has mo excuse for aban- doning the hope of landing the flag.
 Jewett City will play their next and last two games away from home; the first at Dayville this week Saturday, and. the last at North Grosvenordale one week later. No cinches to win. those two games. On the other hand Putnam will play at home Saturday, a big advantage and will finish the sea- son at Wauregan Sept 4th. On pres ent form, Putnam should win both. 2. Meanwhile, if Jewett City makes that slip, and a tie results, watch for great post season series

Great Western Co.
 Will Ship Ore Soon

The Great Western Mining com pany, operating in the Cour,land dis trict, will begin the shipment of cop per ore from two of their shafts in the Courtland district just as soon as the Mexico and Colorato railroad can complete the tracks necessary toreach the ore dumps at the Mary and Hum- boldt shafts.
 The International says it was learned that the ore to be shipped first from Courtland will go to the Fl Paso smelter and this is somewhat surprising to those who have all along expected that this bre would go 10 one of the smelters in Douglas for reduc lion. One explanation of the ore go' ing to Fl Paso is that the Fl Paso shelter is particular to secure the Courtland o-es because of its peculiar fitness for mixing with other ores now on hand On this account it is said that Fl Pa.o bid more for the ore ttsn the Copper Queen cared to pay, be. sides there was disposition on the part of the local smelter to allow the FL Paso smelter to take the Courtland ore which they need very badly.

Profitable Industry
 Is Chicken Raising

An industry that would bring an annual revenue of Sl2G,0 900 IS being practically overlooked by the people oi Sulphur Spring and other Cocbise county valleys. This industry is the supplying of eggs to the wholesale markets of Cochise county. The Douglas Dispatch says that annually 3,024 900 eggs are shipped into Go. shise county from outside points be- cause it Is impossible to secure these eggs in the county.
 The Dispatch ststistician adds: In the three townshipsin Sulphur Spring valley there are 432 homestesds. Sup posing each of the 432 homestesds decided to go into the chicken busi- ness. Five dozen hens to each home steader would more than lay the re- quired eggs needed by the wholesale trade here, even II less than third of the hens laid on an average the year around. Eggs average 50 cents a dozen the year around here AS a rule. Homesteaders, figure the in come. The trouble of keeping these chickens would be small in compar- ison to the returns. There is plenty of room for the chickens to run in and plenty of land to raise feed for them.

Alfalfa Flour
 A New Experiment

It is said that the Creighton Uni yeIsity of Omaha. Nebraska, has re- gently made experiments with alfalfa as a substitute for the kinds of grains used in making flour. The sxr'ri. ments are reported as proving ea4in . ently successful, and the quality of bread most palatsble and nutritious.
 The alfalfa is especially selected for its quality, and after the leaves and portions of the stem have been ground in a mill it is bolted. From the pro- | cess comes a meal almost as fine as l flour, and of A rich brown color. By means of A bleaching process it i: finally brought to a creamy tint which in the loaf that is baked pre- sents a most pleasing and appetizinl appearance.
 Many varieties of eatables inclnd ing gems. pancakes. and other famil' jar compositions of white flour have been made from the new meal witt most gratifying results to the sudden dIscoyeTeIs.

Short Course
 in Agriculture

THE PRosPECroR is in receipt of the special announcement of the short course in agriculture undertaken by the University of Arizona at Tucson. This course Is offered, fret, to meet
 the demands of prospective home- seekers who desire to learn something
 about the general principles and prsc-
 tices of irrigation farming before en- gazing in actual farm operations in , Arizona. Second, to give the young
 man who feels that he cannot afford l the time or the means to pursue a ! full college course a brief introduction
 to some of the most important scien-
 tifc principles and facts that are the
 basis of successful farming. before he
 settles down 10 his chosen business. as
 we'll as to give him measure of that broad general culture that is always
 incidental to University life, and
 which makes SO much for good citi-
 zenship. Third, to equip young men
 to take advantage of opportunities
 and to i'll positions demanding more intelligence and skill than ordinary farm labor. Opportunities and posi-
 tions for young men of such training
 are now open in Arizona an : will be. come more frequent as the great re- clsmstion projects being carried on | are completed. As specific examples
 may be mentioned: rst, the em- ployment at present by the U. :. Re- clamation Service and private ditch companies of many ditch superin- tendents, all of whom need special
 training for the work. These positions are constantly changing personnel and the number of such men so em- ploysd will more then double within
 the next two years. The positions pay from s7j to sl35 per month,
 Second, there are vast areas of desert land in Arizona that may be reclaimed by pumping, and the opportunities for development of thi, kind of irrigation farming have scarcely been touched; but to make the mose of such oppor- tunities one will need more mechani- cal skill and more knowledge Of the physical properties of soil than the average farmer possesses Courses in irrigation engineering, farm manage
 HIent, soil physics, vegetable garden ing, orchard management. and farm dairying, are especislly designed to equip young men to take advantage of these opportunities and positions.

An impressive lesson as to the rapidly dwindling area of public lands open for home stead and the tremendous scramble of people to occupy item is given in the scenes that are being enacted in connection with the opening for settlement of the Spokane, Couer d'Alene and Flathead reservations. A good piece of the earth always has been and always. will be the best investment;a man::can make in the long run. While there are still vast areas of unenterd land in this county that will, with the development of a water supply and the scientific modes of farming that are be- ing introduced, become in time.productive acres, the in nux of agricultural settlers during the past two years has been remarkable. What was once a barren desert is being converted into prolific farms. In less than "a decade, THE PRosPEcToR predicts. Cochise county will rank as one ofthe greatest agricultural sections of the west.
