The output of the Socorro mines at
Mogollon for March will exceed that of
any previous month.
The United States Copper Company,
capitalized at s5O0,000, shares 81 each,
full paid and non-assessable, which
stock, will be sold at par, or 81 per
share, cash or installments, is being
organized at Silver City to take over
and operate the Philadelphia group
and mines of the Philadelphia Copper
Mines Company, under the terms of
the option by which the property was
sold last year for $164,314.40.
Fuel oil promises to revolutionize
the mining industry of the Mogollon
mining district. So remarkable have
been the savings effected by the Dead
wood mill which installed a crude oil
engine of 125 horsepower Franchetto
type, that other large operating COM
panies are figuring on putting in the
new fuel and one company, the Socor-
70 Mines, is seriously considering in
stalling one or more engines.
In the Gold dust mine at Mogollon
the work is progressing nicely with
force of twenty men.

StttinU Hens.

In managing sitting hens, my first
care is to see that the hens are free
from disturbance by other hens or
animals that might frighten them and
injure the eggs, says a writer in the
Baltimore American. I always dust
with insect powder when setting them,
and each week after that till the
chicks are hatched. / set about thir-
teen eggs under the hens, doubling
up when the chicks are Matched, so
each hen may have about twenty-five
chicks. About the middle Of April,
hens and chicks are placed In a small
coop. 2 by feet, with q lath run,
where cats and hawks will not inter
fere, constructing the laths so as to
con1ne the hen and let the chicks run
at large. For feed the first week l
use dry chick food, and furnish with
plenty Of water. At first / feed five
times a day. AS they grow older
wheat and cracked corn are substi-
tuted for the chick feed, and beef
scraps fed alone or mixed in a wet
mash are fed three times a week

POULTRY NOTES.

No fowl is so hard to doctor as a
turkey.
Do not crowd your poultry quarters.
1t does not pay.
Egg production can be increased by
breeding and selection
Pure air and sunshine are the poul-
try breeders best friends
The hen Is now laying many a
ground for next winters complaint.
1t Is quite as easy to grow turkeys
Of superior quality as it Is to grow
those of inferior quality.
The newly hatched chick is very
tender, and even under the best of
care some of the broods are sure to
die.
The chance for profit in the produc-
tion Of turkeys is gradually improving
as the result of a more general use
Of flesh.
The demand for fresh eggs is one
that Is seldom met at any season Of
the year and in any section Of the
country.
Turkeys can be hatched early in the
spring and should grow to weigh
from IA to 20 pounds by Thanksgiv-
ing week.
A secret Of success with turkeys lies
in avoiding inbreeding. A little turk
debilitated at the start by inbreeding
has poor chance for its life.
Chicks properly fed, housed and
cared for will need no medicine. Give
them all the sun possible, but pro-
tect them from the raw spring winds
There is no better time than now to
set geese eggs. Set them under a
hen, allowing her five eggs, which are
about all she can conveniently cover.
All admit that II 1t were not for the
unnatural losses that have been sus-
tanned in the past few years much
more profit could be made from grow
ing turkeys.
Clean, dry quarters kept free from
lice and mites by spraying, and plenty
Of pure water to drink at all times,
are prime requisites in rearing a
brood Of chicks.
There Is no other kind of live stock
that will return so large profit to
the successful producer as will poul-
try, and no kind of poultry is more
profitable than turkeys when proper
ly handled.
One of the very best chick foods
for baby chicks can be made at home
In common coffee mill. Grind to-
gether two measures Of sound yellow
corn, one measure sound hard red
wheat, one measure best barley, to
make coarse meal, and add one
measure OF rolled oats. Feed on wood
or galvanized iron feeding trays OF
from food trough.

HARD TO IRRIGATE POTATOES
Farmer Should Hesitate Before En-
terIng Upon Business on Large
Scale Without Experience.

Incidentally, potatoes are as difficult
crop to raise by irrigation as there
is, ana man who is considering 60
Ing into 1t on an extensive scale
should consider very carefully the
risk that he Is running If he has not
had previous experience with the part
lcular crop. Second growth" renders
potatoes unstable, and at best TIE
price received is so variable from
year to year that it is much of a
gambling proposition, even with an
experienced grower, who only expects
TO make a profit by sticking to it
year in and year out, taking the years
OF high prices with the years of low
prices.
potato plant feeds from the roots,
and the tubers grow with nourishment
secured from the roots and do not
grow independently; that is to say,
the potato itself does not take any
nourishment from the soil, but So
cures It's nourishment from the root
How important this fact is will ap-
pear, If you go into potato growing,
when you become worried, perhaps,
as to whether or not you are getting
a second growth on your potatoes, be-
cause this fact has an immediate bear
Ing on what causes this second
growth. Many growers would tell you
that second growth is caused by too
much water, but I am firmly convinc-
ed that 1t is caused by too little water,
and when the ground becomes dry
the growth OF the plant Is suspended
and the tuber ceases it's process of
continuous growth in every direction,
and the starting or fixing process be-
gins in the tuber preparatory to ma
turing. If the ground ever dries out
sufficiently to stop the continuous
growth OF the plant, it begins to ma
ture. When subsequent irrigation
comes, there is a stimulation to start
the plant growing again, and since 1t
has begun to mature, the tuber can
not continue growing in every direc-
ton, but starts to grow out of one or
more eyes and forms new potatoes
which are attached to the main po-
tato.

SHOWS VALUE OF IRRIGATION
Records Show That Crop Yield Last
Year Was Best Ever Experienced
by Irrigators.

The valuation Of irrigation as safe
producer Of crops was emphasized
particularly by the crops Of 1910. So
far as records show last year was the
best year ever experienced by the
farmers who are farming on govern
ment projects. Many Of the crop yields
reported for 1910 are regarded as phe-
nomenal
AS another evidence of the growing
opinion in favor of irrigation, the
movement Of settlers westward goes
steadily on, there being yet good op-
portunities to obtain an irrigated farm
under one of the governments big
canals. There are now several hun
dred farms open to American citizens.
These are located in different sections
of South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
and Oregon.

Cherry Stocks

I prefer good one-year number one
cherry stocks dug when ripe, and kept
perfectly dormant until planted. The
tops should be trimmed to straight
stems and the roots cut back to 4h
inches If straight, and if branched,
from 8 to 6 inches, the length being
governed by the branches thereon.
The branches may be cut from 1 to 2
inches in length, says writer in an
