NOTED BIOLOGIST WILL
 STUDY MINING REGION
pr. Ames Sterling, Former Head of Australian Geologic Survey, in Phoenix.

Dr. Ames Sterling, former head of the Australian geological survey and special mining commissioner from that country to London, was in Phoenix yesterday on his way to the Clara Consolidated mining district where he is conducting a scientific examination of the mining area there. After the completion of his work there he twill embody the result in q monograph showing the distribution of the gold and copper occurrences. the geological formations in which they occur and the genesis of the ore bodies.
 While Dr. Sterlings Investigations in the geology and petrology of the. Clara area are being made directly for George Mitchell, general manager of the mines, he is at the same time mak- ing scientific studies of the district, especially geo-thermic observations which win b presented before some one of the scientific societies of the country. He is studying the tempera- ture of the rocks at different depths. Very few observations of this char acter have been made in the territory and should prove of great use in min ing at low depths. He is also making a detailed petrologic investigation of the mineral composition of each class of rock. In connection with this branch of the work he is making many photographs with the assistance of the microscope Portions of rock no larg- CT than the head of a pin are enlarged to three inches in diameter. showing accurately the composition of the rock and the mineral in it.
 Dr. Sterling is doing the same sort of work that the '. s. Geological sur vey does. When his work is finished and the monograph prepared it will furnish accurate data for mining op- erations. MT. Mitchell is one of the few mining men who has taken the precaution to obtain exact information the mining area under his control.

Saw Rats Freight an Egg.

After an investigation covering two
weeks, William Krohbach of Dandy,
Pa, has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock of sixty hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity of rats.
One morning he heard a noise in
his chicken house. and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
in the act of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One of the rodents
was lying fiat on it's back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging it
along by the tail. Krohbach was SO
impressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three minutes,
during which time they carried the
egg for twenty yards along the fence
until they came to a hole in the
ground, into which they took the egg.
One of the rats became tired while
carrying the egg and changed places
with its fellow.

YentilatinE stables.

Horses and cows are in the stable at
night for rest. When the weather is
warm the atmosphere in close conf1ne-
ment becomes very warm and oppres-
Sive, so much so that the animals be-
come very uncomfortable, and hence
fail to get proper rest. The horse that
does not get proper rest is not in a
good condition for heavy work the fol-
lowing day. and the COW that does not
sleep in cool, restful place in hot
weather will not give a full flow of
milk. The temperature of the work
ing or producing animal must be kept
normal to give best results. If there
are no windows in your stables, cut
out a number now and let light and
fresh air come for the health and COM
fort Of the animals. There is nothing
like plenty of good fresh air in living
and sleeping rooms, whether the rooms
be for the occupancy Of man of for
animals. This holds good for both
winter and summer.

let the hogs run on alfalfa until abont
five or six months old, by which time
they reach a weight of rs to 125.
pounds, feeding just little grain.
then they feed heavily for about two
months and sell the hogs at eight
months old weighing 200 to 900
pound: One farmer who raises about
a thousand hogs year and who in
one year sold $1,000 worth, makes
practice of growing his hogs on alfalfa

tinuing until the hogs are sold at ten

pounds.
Another farmer, from weaving time

corn on alfalfa pasture, averaging
about one-half gallon of corn (3h
pounds) a day per head. At the end
of eight months he sells at an average

ceal; and then continued his search. But,
no. every drawer and cupboard of the
school room is ransacked in vain. Many

to light, but nothing in the shape of

well-marked eyebrows rather knit. She

In 1901 Wagner batted 1852, and in
1902 his average was 1929. The record
of Wagner for 1905 was 1863.
In 1900 he played in Pittsburg uni
form and he has been Pirate since
then. During his career in Pittsburg
Wagner has played 1,606 games, been
at the bat 6,125 times, scored LA
runs, secured 2,162 hits and stole 5S3
bases. His batting average for nine
years of playing has been .351.
In 1897, 1898 and 1899 Wagner play
ed with the Louisville club. In 1897
he hit .344, in 1898 .305 and in 1899
1858. For a dozen seasons he never
hit below .305 and his best average
was $50, made in the first year that
he played with Pittsburg-19o1. He
played in 1874 games that year, was at
bat 528 times, scored 107 runs, got
POI hits and stole SO bases.
OF popularity Wagner has plenty,
and he bears more nicknames than
any other man in baseball. Last year
they gave him loving cups and good
wishes and everything that men give
one another to show gratitude for big
things accomplished.
This year some men figured that
Wagner would go back, start on the
downward path physically, which
course all men are bound to take at
some stage of life. But Wagner has
returned strong as ever, fielding bril-
liantly and batting and running bases
wonderfully. He is as good right now
as he ever was.
Wagner fields with much motion.
There is nothing catlike or graceful
about his movements. He is all mo,
tion-arms, hands, limbs, body, when
he goes after a ball But he gets
there, just the same, and the public
doesn't stop to consider how a man
gets there, Just so he arrives. Wag

arrives at the ball park. He comes

Objectionable because it is impossible

practicable material for milk vessels,

The most important thing in pro-

This can only be done by carefully

Much the larger proportion Of milk

surface of warm milk, which absorbs
all kinds of undesirable odors and col

Galvanized iron is something used
for milk pals, but it is not best, for
the rough surfaces afford hiding
places for bacteria. Wooden vessels
should not be used for holding milk,
for it is almost impossible to keep
them clean Besides imparting a me.
