FRONTIER JOYS HAVE PASSED BY

Commenting on the action Of the Arizona legislature in abolishiug the ranger force Henry Christen War nacke fin the Los Angeles EveniSt News says:
 Exit the "Wild and woolly West" Arizona has abolished tae organization of territorial rangers. For ten years . little handful of brave men have up held the law on the borderland be- tween Arizona. New Mexico and Mex leo. Geographically. they had a pc culiar situation with which to deal. The Bad Man" of the territory prao ucally had vanished long ago. He was tho least of their troubles. Cattle and horse rustling from within the terri tory likewise had dwindlei 10 s min mum and in itself would never nave iust lied the maintenance of a mounted police force. The border, however, offered convenient field for the op- srations of the rowing internationai outlaw. It was comparatively easy lor the bad men of New Mexico to hide themselves in certain Grant county fastnesses. far south of Silver City. and these sometimes made heavy nroads into Arizona cattle and horses lt was likewise very easy for out laws to>have a stronghold in Sonora. Mexico. and to operate on the Ari- zoaa side ok the line. Mexico pro tected and still protects itself from these and similar disturbances with Is Rurales. They are mounted lua si police dealing with border outlawry. strike situations. and specific cases Of criminalty. The Hurdles of Mexico and the Rangers of Texas were send ing an overflow of undesirable char acters across the Arizona bcrders when the Arizoua Rangers were or sanized with Captain Bet Mossman Ia hcarge. After the war of '9S Cap tain Thomas Ii. Rynning. now superin- ,endeut of Arizoua's penitentiary. was captain and he was succeeded by Cap rain Harry Wheeler, son of Colonel Wheeler, retired. of the United States army. Under these three men the
 Bad Man" in as far as he still had f-xistence. in Arizona, has been re- moved from the borders of that ter ritary. At it's preSent session the Ari- soma legislature has decided that no further need for an organization of mounted police is necessary fer inc sltrol of the border.
 The passing Of the Arizona Rangers means the passing Of the Bad Man and of the Wild and Woolly West IL means that the people of the least de veloped western states and territories have turned their backs for good and ail upon lawlessness and the rough

The Rangers have gone the way of the Stranglers and like com mittees which waited hurriedly and without ceremony upon the horse thief ana the cattle rustler of twenty years ago. Henceforth those effective emergency associations may live only in the stories Of Alfred Henry Lewis, while the citizen who still feels a rest less zeal to protect the community can have access only to the organization of a Municipal League or something tangled up with recalls and courts and other tedious methods not nearly so definite and expeditions as the easy and simple solution of stringing the.r man to the first adequate mesquite or irOnwood tree up Cactus Canyon.

Feeding Hogs.

A Boulder county farmer in feeding
separator SKINNED milk found that 100
pounds made five pounds of growth
when fed alone to pigs weighing 125
pounds, while a bushel of shelled corn
made ten pounds of growth. Thus the
100 pounds of sweet SKINNED separator
milk as pig feed is worth one-half as
much as bushel of corn. In mixing
the two together however he found
that the feed value of the sweet sepa-
rator SKINNED milk with the cornmeal
increased twenty per cent over either
fed singly. In other words if the 100
pounds of SKINNED milk made five
pounds and the corn ten by feeding
them together the result would be
eighteen pounds gain, making 100
pounds of SKINNED milk worth four
fifths as much as bushel of corn.
This shows the Importance of balanc-
ing a ration and little alfalfa chopped
and mixed with the feed would have
improved the mess very materially and
even the dry hay would have helped
matters considerably.

he will be obliged to exercise reasonable
judgment in pruning and that the fruit
must be severely thinned before the
pits begin to harden. This rule will
produce good sized fruit on almost all
varieties of fruit trees. The apricot is
also an uncertain bearer owing largely
to the fact that it blossoms too early,
and there is always the likelihood of
frost when the fruit is small and ten
der. Then again, it blossoms when
there is usually more or less rainfall.
Should a storm of considerable dura-
ton happen at the time the pollen is
ready to float, the dampness will cause
it to fall to the ground and the blossoms
will not be fer tilized. Field and Farm.

About Apricots.

In the absence of cannery, the april
cot is one of the varieties of fruit that
should be set sparingly in this country.
With large orchard it is a serious
problem to secure sufficient help to
pick and prepare the fruit. The crop
ripens SO rapidly that it must be ham
died quickly. 1t is comparatively
poor fruit for long shipment and gener
ally the returns are not very satisfac-
tory. If cannery is in close proximity
or can be easily reached by rail the
crop might be made to pay satisfactor-
lily but a grower who intends to send
his fruit to a cannery must be fore
warned that only certain sized fruit
will be accepted and all fruit under that
size will be rejected. This means that

The powdar is just the same. The
additional value is it the name.
Mennen's estate was offered 81, 900,

There is no secret in the powder. Any
good chemist can duplicate it.
Without doubt, to discontinue adver-
tising either of these products for one
year would seriously impair their trade
value, possibly destroy it entirely.
The same rule governs the advertis-
ing of retail stores. Floating trade
