FIFTH ARIZONA FAIR

At a meeting of the Territorial Fair Commission just concluded at Phoenix the final touches were put on the preparations for the Fifth Territorial Fair which will this year be held the second week in Novem. ber-the Sth to the 14th. Bigger and better than ever before, is the promise the commission is giving and there seems to be facts to bear them out.
 In all of the live stock depart ments the premiums have been in creased 20 per cent; in the poultry show the premiums have been just doubled, and a new show-a dog show. has been added to the list of attractions. In addition to. this, the premium list has been incr eased by the addition of several new classes, it being the desire of the commission to offer every induce ment for the exhibition of fancy and thoroughbred stock by citizens of the territory. That they have planned wisely, is testified to by the manyinquiries already received by the secretary.
 Naturally great interest centers about the racing program and prob ably it is enough to say that this year in Phoenix there will be more l horses start in the harness events than ever before raced at any meet ing held west of Chicago. MT. J. c. Adams, the president of the fair commission, spent several weeks in the east this summer interesting the grand circuit racers to pay Phoenix visit and as in most of his undertakings, he was success ful. The great Arizona Copper Stake race, which prize was sub- scribed by Arizonans, will be run in two parts, a $5O0O purse for POS pacers and a $5O0O purse for 2:10 trotters. It is likely if all of the horses entered decide to start that each of the events will have to be started ip two divisions. Each day there will be two jockey races, for which there are many entries.
 One afternoon will be devoted to automobile racing, the prize event being a 100 mile race around the circular track for a purse of 5000. The drivers of the cars will be some of the most noted scorchers of the west, and the cars the fastest. In front of the grand stand on auto. mobile day the great Los Angeles to Phoenix automobile road race will finish and the prize of $500 awarded.
 Fireworks will be given one night on the fair grounds, and the spec tacular production of last year will be far surpassed. One of the set pieces will be a battle at sea, in which fort is attacked by fleet, the picture lasting in all half hour.
 Residents of Williams and Coco nino county, according to Phoenix papers. will be made welcome at Phoenix fair week. The fair con- mission has arranged a wonderful display Of Arizona's mineral, indus trial and agricultural wealth. Phoe- nix citizens will add to this hearty welcome to all fair visitors. At this early date there are many local residents planning to make the trip to spend the second week in No vember at the fair.

It Will Be Different

The fair at Albuquerque, which opens next Monday, is going to be
 not only big one, but it is going
 to be different. The sports are go- ing to be different; SO are the big ger attractions. We don't often have a presidential call during one of our fairs. But aside from the presidents visit, which makes this fair of the greatest interest and inn ports nee, there will be lots of new attractions. among them the air ship. not big balloon which goes up and down, but a real airship which will sail over the fair grounds by day and the city by night. Then there is the pushball game, to be played by the soldiers from Fort Wingate. Pushball is the newest big game in the world of sports and tits worth going miles to see, espe- cially as played by Uncle Sam's hardy horsemen. In addition there is the Marathon race, the first to be
 run in New Mexico. Add to these all the usual attractions. a great racing program, base ball and the biggest carnival company on earth. and it looks as if Albuquerque was ready to deliver the goods this year.

CONDENSED POULTRY FARMING.

A New Hampshire egg farmer con-
ducts a business that nets him $25
profit per week on a five-acre tract.
This man certainly has ideas of his
own, for while he owns 200 acres of
land, only five acres of it is used for
the poultry, which is the only source
of income of the entire family. On
this five acres are kept $500 laying
hens and 5000 chicks are Matched an
nually. Here is a case of intensive
egg farming that pays, yet we are
inclined to believe that if the fowls
were given the use of some of the
200 acres the profit would be much
larger.
The housing and yarding on this
plant consists of houses 8 by "a feet
with the floor up off the ground, and
the only yard that the birds have is
the ground under the f1oor-just the
by "a feet. Two COWS. three horses
and three large dogs are kept, as well
as hired man, but all the expenses
are footed by the hens. The three
dogs are kept for protection from
chicken thieves, and in this method
there is another idea that is unique.
Around the entire five acres is a troll
ley wire. To this the dogs are fas-
tened with long chains so they can
patrol the entire enclosure. For feed
for these dogs there is an outlay of
81 a month"; little expensive, but
effective.
The salary of the hired help is 500
per year, and all stock and eggs are
sold at market price, and yet the prof
it is good. This farmer gave up the
dairy business to embark in the egg
farming business and finds it much
more profitable, and believe that the
profit would be one-third more If free
range was used.

KEEPING EGGS.

Science seems to be making an act
i've inroad on prejudices and ignorance
and even the man who has been fight
ing book farming is willing to con-
fess that great strides have been
made along certain lines that have
been beneficial to his own interests.
The latest we have had up to the pres
enJ in the preservation of eggs and
the prolonging of their edible quail
ties has been by the water glass sys-
tenn, which is quite generally known.
Now comes a scientist who clans
a method that will even up the egg
business at a wonderful rate. The
shells by the new process are first
disinfected and then immersed in a
vessel of paraffin wax in a vacuum.
The air in the shell is extracted by
the vacuum, and atmospheric pres
sure is then allowed to enter the YES
sci, when the hot wax is forced into
the "'pores of the shell, which thus
Theoretically seals it. Evaporation of
the contents of the egg, which has a
harmful effect, is thereby prevented,
and the egg is practically STERILE

POULTRY HOUSE WHITEWASH.

A capital whitewash is made by
mixing common water lime sement
with sweet SKINNED milk to the prop
er consistency. The following is the
government whitewash: Put two
pailfuls of boiling water in a barrel,
add one-half of a bushel of well
burned quicklime; put in quickly one
peck of common salt, dissolved in hot
water, and cover the barrel tightly
to keep in the steam while Stacking;
when the violent ebullition is over stir
till well mixed together, and if neces-
sary add more boiling water so as to
have the mass like thick cream, strain
through sieve of coarse cloth. Make
a thin starch of three pounds of rice
flour and one pound strong glue, hav-
ing first soaked the glue in cold wa
ter, and to the latter mixture add two
pounds of whiting. Add this to lime
wash, and also sufficient hot water to
dilute to the proper consistency; keep
hot while applying. 1t will require
about six quarts of the mixture to 100
square feet surface, and it will last
remarkably well. 1t goes without say
ing that it may be made any desired
color.-The Poultry Keeper.

PRACTICAL POULTRY POINTS
DUCKS PAY.

Kate V. Saint Maur, who has won
a reputation by her success in show
ing people how to make money at
home, tells how to make money with
ducks in the April Woman's Home
Companion as follows:
Ducks are so profitable that I can
not understand why so few keep them
unless it is the mistaken idea
that they must have stream or pond
in which to swim. 1t is true that the
old-fashioned puddle duck did seem a
miserable creature out of water, but
the improved strains are almost as
much land birds are chickens are.
My stock started with two ducks and
a drake which cost me 81. The first
season I raised So, sold 46, and kept
IL to stock. They were ready for
market when eleven weeks old and
the lowest price was II cents a
pound.

Old hens make the best mothers,
but the pullets are the better layers.
The breed you like best is the best
breed for you to keep.
Shells and gravel as well as char

A few good hens are better than a
big flock of mongrels.

Soft SheIed Eggs.-When hens lay
soft-shelled eggs or abnormally large
eggs something is wrong with them.
Strong and healthy hens do not lay
double-yolked or deformed eggs. Soft
shelled eggs indicate lack of lime
and the poultry raiser should see to
it that the hens have abundance of
crushed shells or some other SUBJ
stance in which lime predominates.
When the fowls are too fat the diet
should be changed and no starchy
foods should be fed.

Editors The JeffersOnian, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sirs: Enclosed currency 81,
subscription to the Jeffersonian. The
paper has been coming to me unso-
Hclted for many weeks, presumably
at the instigation of some frined: at
first gave it only a cursory perusal,
but finally became very much inter-
ested in it's able editorials, it's clear
statements of occurrences, political
and others, and now take pleasure to
contribute my mite towards it's main
talnance, preferring it to more pre-
tentious publications.
[ desire to commend you for the
fight you are Waging in behalf of the
plain people, who have no spokes-
man to speak of in the press through
out the land, but pander from selfish
motives to wealthy interests
Your articles on the Tariff ques-
ton, and showing the people how
their representatives in both houses
Of Congress betray their interests
and violated the pledges of their
party, voting, as they did, against
the free importation of articles ex-
plicitly mentioned in the Democratic
platform, deserve to be highly ap-
proved by all thinking Democrats
who have the good of their party as
we'll as that of the country at large
at heart, and | can assure you that
many Democrats in the State of
Florida, besides myself, are ashamed
of the records of their Senators and
are anxious to replace them with
men who will be true to their profess
sions and true to their people.
Very truly yours,

endorsement for the fight you are

of the people to change their condi-

would only vote for the change.

Now, I am only writing to let you

votes. Maybe they will come round

hold out to keep telling them how it

My prayer is, that you may be
spared long to warn the masses, and
that they may yet take the warning.
