Mr. Davidson Fed Hogs Expensive and "Cee
brated Patent Stock Food Hogs Better
Than 1t.

Messrs. Editors: We have thought
for some months past that we would
add our mite Of commentator Of
your policy of excluding patent med
icine and continental stock food adj
vertisements from the columns Of
your most excellent journal, and a
recent experience of ours has
prompted us to put our thoughts into
execution.
notwithstanding the fact that we
have been a constant reader of your
paper for a number Of years and
that our views were thoroughly in
accord with yours on this question,
yet, last April we were induced to
try some of this so-0lled great
"stock food" and it is OF the results
Of this trial that we wish to write,
and perhaps thereby save some other
reader from being duped as we were.
But at the outset we will say that
like the old woman that prayed for
the mountain to be removed, it was
just as we expected. We had for
quite a time been receiving letters
from a certain firm manufacturing
a celebrated" stock food. and early
in April of this year we received an
offer to ship us five pals, 1875 pounds
of the stock food, with some extra
poultry food to help pay the freight
and a thirty-piece set of dishes, rep
resented to be worth $3.50, free,
MT nw;u ~ ct 90
food for 80 days and il not salts
factory to return so pounds, freight
prepaid, and they would give us a
clear receipt.
Now as to results: We fed the
stuff strictly according to directions,
to our hogs, (our sheep and goats
positively would not eat any kind of
feed with the stuff in it, and we
know that we did not receive one
penny's worth from feeding it to our
hogs, as we had one bunch that we
did not feed it to and they, having
the same feed as the others except
the stock food, did better than the
ones that had the wonderful food"
Summary: We are out SO for
freight, got no benefit from the feed,
got some dishes that we could have
bought at any Of the local stores for
not exceeding $3.50 and that we did
not particularly need. So we have
contributed at least $3.50 of good
money as sucker bait, and we give
our experience with the hope that
some of your readers may profit by
our mistake.
And this Is not all. We shipped
the so pounds back to the firm on
the 18th inst. and stated\to them
that we did not get any benefits

LIGHT ABSORBED BY HANeINes
Matter to Be Considered in Choice of Paper and Decoration for Walls

The color of paper hangings and tapestry is far from being a factor of minor importance in the degree of light that prevails in a room, and is very closely related to the eco homie use of artificial illumination also
 In accordance with their color. such fabrics throw back into the room a part of the light that is fall ing upon them, while they annihilate another part, or absorb it, as the technical phrase is As the power of absorption of light rises in such fabric, so naturally in less degree is the room brightened and less advan- tageous is the use of artificial illu- imitation, q part of the money spent for the latter being wasted for light annihiliated by the hangings.
 The latest investigation reveals that the absorption of light depends in the first instance. Ion the color of the hangings. and therefore on the same color when the walls are paint cd with it toO. Naturally the most favorable effect of color in this re- gard is afforded by the white hang ings and paints. but even these ab- sorb 60 per cent of the light falling upon them, while the other 50 per cent radiatcs hack into the room.
 Following these in the effect of light come the yellow hangings, which radiate 45 per cent and annihilate B per cent. The next in order are the bright green. of which the power of absorption rises to 50 per cent, while 40 per cent of the light striking

FROST AND FROST
 ". J. 4. ARCHITECTS
Design ct New Office Building Is Adopted as a Working Model
 And Plans Ordered Drawn.

The building committee of the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association met yesterday and selected the firm of
 Frost X Frost, of Fl PasO as architects for the furnishing of the
 plans for the proposed office build
 ing to be erected on the lot bought of the Y. M. C. A. The firm Is represented in Phoenix by R. w. Les cher Mir Lescher submitted a sketch as a suggestion showing the
 front elevation of building design ed to meet the purposes of the asso- citation and it was accepted as desirable working basis, the board to make such changes as it deems
 wise when the plans are submitted
 The architects were instructed to proceed at once to- draw plans for the building and submit them as soon as practicable.
 The building represented by the sketch is a subdued Spanish style of architecture. adopted to conform to the style of the Y. C. A. build
 ing on the same lot. the plans for which were drawn by the same ar chitects. It differs in the exterior quite materially from the classical style of the sketch submitted to the board some months ago by Archlt- ect Thornton Fitzhugh. though the interior plans will be practically the same. the offices surrounding cen tral rOtunda. Some might regard the older sketch as a more attractive building in some, and if erected by itself but the later sketch not only conforms to the style of the Y. NJ C. A. building but provides for al large air chamber above the ceiling of the upper story. which will un- doubtedly make it much cooler building in the summer time.
 The building will be 30 100 feet in size, two stories and a basement with a tile roof It is designed to be built of brick to he plastercd oIt- side after the manner of the Y fl C. A. The foundations will be of concrete and the floors of cement, so it will be practically a fire proof structure. The interior arrangement Was practically decided upon months ago when the first sketch was sub mitted and thus far there has deVc' oped no reason for making any mT- terial changes. The plans suited the association and the reclamation off cials who are to occupy the build ing, ample provision being made also for an auditorium as meeting place for the members of the association as well as for other farmers organi- zations of a proper character Nol date is given for the submission of working plans. but it ia expected tbe architects will lose no time. and as soon as practicable will submit plans upon which estimates may be l made and bids from contractors be | called for.
