FEEDING MANY STEERS.
Cattle Being Prepared for the Market Near Cansnes. Dry Farm is
 Great Success.

There are but few in Cananea who realize the extent of the opera. tions of the SInora Packing con. pany and Cananea Cattle company both Greene enterprises, yet these enterprises are virtually conduct. ing operations almost within the center of this great camp. At the present time visit to the feed mill recently erected and put in'o operation near the dry farm would disclose the fact that over 400 head of steers are being fed for the market. Steers are not he only animals which are thriving under the scientific feeding and care, as there are hundreds of goats, sheep and pigs also living on the best feed until their time comes to add their mite towards allaying the hunger of mankind.
 After viewing lhe poorly animals on the ranges and then looking over the sleek well fed cattle at he pens, one will realize the great science of feeding which has brought about such change in the animals in short time. It requires be- tween two and three months to prepare the cutie for market, dur. ing which time they are allowed to eat all they desire, have plenty of water anu re. eive the best of care. When the time of feeding has elapsed the cattle are sold to vari. ous packers and the best of the herd is reserved for the use of the Sonora Packing company, which accounts for the excellent quality of their meats.
 The feed for these animals is prepared at the feed mill which adjoins the pens, where tons upon tons of feed are ground, or rather chopped, into feed which has the fattening properties. Sorghum,

THE SHAMROCK 50 GREEN.
By JOHN M'MAHON
THOUSANDS of shamrocks are sent

"a 1c VI Suilll YIN L SCuI
10 this country from Ireland
for ST. Patrick's day. They are
not sent as Il commercial proposition.
but as messages of love from those on
"the old sod" TO their dear ones here.
The shamrockS that are sold in the
United States are almost universally
American ~clovers, which are larger
than the Irish plant and can be told
at a glance by any true son Of Erin.
The real shamrocks are not for sale.
They are priced too dearly by their
recipients 10 profane them by barter.
They symbolic a sentiment. and sen
timents cannot be bought-that Is, I'M
less they are the imitation kind. 1t is
just SO with shamrocks. Only the
counterfeits are on the market.
So common has become the custom
Of sending shamrocks to America that
there Is now what is known as the
shamrock ship" This Is the last pos
sible mail steamer to get them here in
time for st. Patrick's day, the senders
delaying to the last moment in order
to have the plants fresh. Most Of the
shamrocks are sent in letters and are
moistened SO as to keep. When the
postal authorities handle a fat moist
envelope bearing an Irish postmark
they know 1t is a shamrock letter.
This wettiDg Of the plants often plays
havoc with the letters, rendering the
superscription illegible in many cases
or even causing the envelope to com
to pieces in a few instances. 1t is
also probable that the little plants are
sent in newspapers and other pack
ages. The postal authorities are not
very strict at such times and do not
inspect the Irish mail too vigorously.
When the shamrock ship comes in
the p~ostoffice people are too busy to be
unduly curious.
Tradition has it that st. Patrick ac-
tually brought the shamrock to Ire
land. As the old song has IL:
There's a lea little plant that grows In
our isle.
Twas st. Patrick himself, sure, who set
And the sun on his labor with pleasure
did smile,
And the tear from his eye ofttimes wet
IL.
1t grows through the bog, through the
brake. through the mire land,
And they call II the dear little shamrock
/ OF Ireland.
The fact of the matter seems to be
that st. Patrick used the three leaved
shamrock as an illustration Of the doc
trine of the Trinity-three In one. As
to just what plant the saint employed
there is a question. Some maintain
that 1t was the wood sorrel. The cura-
tor of the Dublin botanical gardens
says 1t was the black nonesuch. The
general view, however, Is that the
word shamrock is Erse. from seamrog,
meaning little clover, and that means
that the Trifolium repeps or Tri-
folium minus is the real shamrock. 1t
is questionable, however, whether
white clover is a native Of Ireland.
The use Of the word seamsoge by the
oldest writer's would seem to uphold
the wood sorrel view, as seamsoge
means wood sorrel.

There was a buzz Of conversation,
and she knew that there was q hurt
look in her fathers eyes-that father
who had worked so hard. who denied
her nothing and who so enjoyed his
annual celebration Of ST. Patrick's day.
And there was Larry Grady-oh. hor-
rible name. OF course be would guess
that she had been the one 10 change
the decorations, and she could fancy
the scorn on his handsome face.
Something that Larry had once said
returned TO her with startling distinct
ness:
Isn't the country big enough for all
men and all nations she will adopt?
What's In a name after all:"
Suddenly Margaret seemed to see
herself in a different light. She sprang
10 her feet and rushed to her dresser.
Now. she could never cease 20 appre-
ciate the love OF the two men whom
she cared for most in the world.
She dug out a green satin sash which
she had worn on gala days before she
attended Miss Henny's fashionable
school and been finished beyond recog-
milton Of her old Irish friends.
Joke and song and merry quip were
flying about the round table under the
stars and stripes when Margaret opened
the door and entered the room.
They rose from the table as she
came forward In her white gown, with

leuend of st, Patrick.

St. Patrick was a holy man
And minstrel. too, OF old
n bore on all his wanderings
A harp with strings of gold.
When Erin's heroes went to war
With sword n lance and shield
In early times they lacked a flag
To follow on the field.
So good ST. Patrick tooS the leaves
Upon the willow tree
And stitched the emerald strips to make
A banner broad and free.
But ere his task was done he heard
The trumpet's wild refrain
And nailed It to his golden harp
And joined the march again.
The banner OF the willow leaves
Grew dry and fell to dust;
The strings that rang to battle songs
Were o devoured by rust.
But still on Erin's ancient flag
The Willows tint Is seen.
And still the legendary harm
Adorns Its folds OF green.

OF Patrick lisped as they flashed and fell;
The voice Of the tempest among the hills
Shouted his name in the thunder's swell.
And oft it haunted the twilight's hush
In tones melodious murmured soft.
The blackbird warbled it to the thrush;
The kylark caroled it forth alof.
