HARD EXPERIENCE OF MANY
Amateurs Expect Too Much Of Their
Fioeks and Faneiers MIsrepresent
Their Stock.
CBy G. H. RosEBURG.)

tBy G. H. RosEBURGJ
A man who has gone into the poul.
try business In the right way recently
received a jolt that surprised him. He
paid good price for eggs guaranteed
to be from hens that had scored 100
points and when his first flock Of birds
were about year old he had them
scored by a local Judge. He was de-
lighted when several OF his best pull
let's and cockerels scored 100 and the
rest ran up above IS. He was sure he
sent champion prize winners until he
sent about dozen Of his best ones to
the Chicago Poultry show. Then
came the jolt.
His birds were judged by men who
know their business and play no favor
ties and the result showed none Of his
stock to be better than 90. while more
than half Of the flock ran down below
IS. or course his birds are pretty
goof at that but not good enough to
bring fancy prices. while the eggs will
bring lite II anything above store
prices.
This mans experience is too often
repeated. The whole trouble lies in
amateurs expecting too much OF their
flock. INSCRIPTIONS fanciers misrepre.
senting their stock and local judges
being incompetent or too anxious to
please.

KEEPING SWINE ON alfalfa

Insure Success.

In answer to the question, How
many hogs may be successfully kept
on one acre Of alfalfa?" That would
depend on the character of the land.
the advantages Of irrigation. etc. To
raise hogs on alfalfa with NO other
feed would not be profitable. writes
Elias Gallup In the California Cultiva-
tor. Small pigs require grain, milk
or some other feed. Hogs at six
months old in good thrifty condition.
Will continue to grow on alfalfa alone.
but to be thrifty and profitable. they
should have grain or some other food.
Brood sows and sucking pigs fed on
slop and skim milk and middlings
with alfalfa pasture make rapid
growth for their pigs. To raise hogs
successfully on alfalfa we should
have our fields divided so a. to change
from one field to another.
To secure the best results with Al
falfa, We should not allow the hogs to
root. nor feed too close. To insure
good health to hogs. fresh pasture is
very essential. Never allow hogs to
have mud holes. stagnant water or
filthy quarters. A good wallow In

would not know how to get along
without the alfalfa pasture.
To raise hogs requires study. care
and education. but to answer the
question. how many could be raised
on one acre. would depend on the
education of the owner and tho care
he gave them.

thing, but to achieve this object salts.
factorily Is no easy matter. In our
sketch and diagrams one practical So
luton of this difficulty will be found.
and It can be carried out with little
trouble and at no great expense.
In the first place, two three.fold
clothes horses should be obtained and
thin bars Of wood nailed in upright
positions to the parallel bars Of tho
horses. A glance at the sketch will
explain this. Next, two pieces of
board should be firmly nailed to the
nursery wall, at distance apart equal
to the width OF two of the divisions
of one of the horses. The horses can
then be fastened with hinges to these
pieces Of wood fixed to the wall. and
diagram "A" illustrates this.
Tapes should be attached to the
posts at further sides Of the horses,
and it is an easy matter to place them
in the position shown in the sketch
and tie the posts together.
When not required. the horses can
be folded fiat against the wall, and

Ovecworked Farms.

Unfortunately. large number OF
our irrigation farmers overwork the
land and lack the systematic organiza
ton which the head always gives

Too many Of our hard-working farm
ers do not know where they are at,
or what the years results net them
at its close.
Then. too, we must conserve our VI

POULTRY NOTES.

Sweet skim milk is excellent in fin
ishing of broilers.
Plan to save the butchering refuse
and feed 1t to the hens.
Stale bread crumbs make a very
good addition to the morning mash.
Expensive poultry buildings are
unnecessary.
Rock salt is dangerous in the poul-
try yard.
Nice warm bran wash is good
thing to serve on the bill OF fare for
the old hen.
Game fowls command higher prices
than any of the old breeds. but eggs,
though small, are well favored.
For laying hens 1t is better to have
the corn cracked rather than to feed
it whole
Some poultry authorities put the av-
erage production of the farm hen at
81 eggs year.
Let the eggs from your valuable. re-
liable breeders be surely fresh and
fertile.
II you wish to force egg production
try feeding fresh cut bones and newly
sprouted grains.
1t has taken the successful duck
growers many years to master the
art OF growing ducks by the whole
sale.
A frequent cause OF male birds get
ting their wattles frozen comes from
first getting them wet In the drinking
water.
The guinea, II thoroughly known.
should bring good price on the
market, especially during the game
season.
Not all fertile eggs will hatch. but
we could certainly increase the per
centage by greater care In the selec-
ton and maintenance of the stock

The food that Is proper for the
manufacture of eggs will be equally
suitable for the growth of feathers.
so that an egg food will make the
ideal molting food.

ROOSEVELT IS SCENE
 OF DEATH
ACCIDENTAL KILLING YESTESDAY
 MORNING OF WALLACE RIGGS
ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON GOVERNMENT
 ROAD NEAR THE DAM

Out for a days pleasure ac- companied by his wife, two little children, neighbor woman and her children, c. w. Riggs, com monly known as Wallace Riggs. who since March, 1907, has been foreman of the electric power plant at Roosevelt, accidentally received charge from a shot gun in his stomach and died a few minutes later. The accident occurred on the Roosevelt road, about seven miles from the dam, early yesterday morning.
 It was laughing. happy, jolly party that left Roosevelt, expect ing to drive down to Fish Creek and shoot small game along the way. Several times MT. Riggs left the wagon for a time to hunt by the roadside. At the time the accident occurred he had returned to the wagon and was driving, the gun between his knees. For some reason. per haps to recover line, he reach ed over the dashboard. At the same instant the gun was dis charged. His foot probably struck the hammer and pushed | it back far enough so that when it was released the cartride was exploded.
 As the muzzle of the gun was right against MT. Riggs stomach, he received the entire charge of birdshot in his vitals. A terrible hole was torn.
 No accident ever happened with more terrible suddenness, Mrs. Riggs and the others heard the shot and saw MT. Riggs reel in his seat. In an instant they knew what had happened. Though they were badly frightened they managed to help the wounded man to the roadside. Blood gush- ed from the wound in rivers Even in their distraction they knew that he would not live. MT. Riggs did not speak a word after he was shot, but moaned pitifully.
 IF. Wolpe and Wesley Hill of Phoenix, with party of ladies. happened to reach the spot just after MT. Riggs was shot, Mrs. Riggs was holding his head in her lap and imploring him to speak to her. The children and the other woman, whose name was not learned, were crying dis tractedly. They asked the auto party to hurry on to Roosevelt and send a doctor. This was all that could be done. though Wolpe and Hill knew that Riggs would be dead long before they could reach the dam. As soon as they arrived they telephoned a physician of the accident, telling him that Riggs was probably dead, but that the hvsterical wo- men doubtless needed stimulants. The doctor immediately started down the road, to find Riggs cold in death the women, particularly Mrs. Riggs in precarious condi- tion.
