(By L p. sLCssON,)

One OF the oldest breeds-a breed
that has so many good qualities as
has the Devon should be kept before
the public. A breed that always re-
spends well in any place they may be
put, from the hill country Of the east
to the plains of the west, and from
the north to the south, ought to be
well advertised.
No breed more readily responds to
good feed and care. For those who
follow mixed husbandry in any sec
ton of the country, no better general
purpose breed can be found.
While We do not claim that they
Will grow as large as the Shorthorn or
Hereford, still when we take into
consideration the cost of the keep, the
Devon outstrips either breed. We
claim that more beef can be made
with Devons per bushel of feed con.
sumed than with either of the above
named breeds. 1t may take one or
two more animals, but the cost of the
feed will not be more.
One breeder in Missouri says that
the Devons go to pasture 100 pounds
better flesh in the spring than any
other cattle. He feeds on silage and
clover hay. Another breeder says OF
the Devon: 1T is well known that the
Devon cattle produce the finest fla,
vored sifloin beef extant and they dc
not need such expensive assistance In
producing it as other breeds. One
other point in favor Of the Devon cat
Il is that tuberculosis is rare among
them, denoting their healthiness as
well as their hardness"
Now as to the milking qualities Of
the Devon. We do not claim thai
they give as large a flow as some OF
the noted dairy breeds. However, II
England many herds are kept as
dairy animals and rented to dairymeT
at from $50 to $50 per head a year
In our own country they are also KEEP

for dairy animals, and always give
excellent results. The COW, Wiscon-
sin Bell, averaged 40 pounds Of milk,
and from so pounds of her milk two
pounds and IL ounces of butter was
made. At a test of Devons and Jer-
seys at an Indiana fair they tested as
follows: The Jerseys No. l tested So
per cent. butter fat; No. 2 tested 6.6;
No, 3 tested 6.6; No. 4 tested 7.2. The
Devons tested as follows: No. l., 6.6
per cent. butter fat; No. 2, 6.6; No.
3, 68; No. 4, 500. At the Seattle fair,
where several herds Of Devons were
shown, the lowest butter fat test was
4.6, and the highest 8 per cent. One
COW at the evening milking tested
$50, and the morning milking $50.
These tests were made by the Wash
ington experiment station.
The Devon COW, Songstress, in a
seven-day test gave 348 pounds Of
milk and 16 pounds and 6 ounces OF
butter fat. Cow Mae gave-312 pounds
milk and 17.2 pounds of butter fat.
Red Rose in a twelve-day test aver
aged 80 pounds of milk that tested
6.8 per cent. butter fat.
Devon milk Is noted for its rich
ness. 1t contains as much fat as the
Jerseys, as much casein as the Ayr
shires, and more sugar than either.
Devon milk is also highly esteemed
by the physicians for babies and in
valids.
To sum up our claims, we say that
the Devon is good in the dairy, good
for beef, good for oxen, good for hus'
tiers and grazers.

DEEP SOIL MOST DESIRABLE
Increases Water Holding Capacity,
Prevents Washing and lnsures
Crop Against Drought.

A deep soil is desirable for the fol-
lowing reasons: First, to increase the
water-holding capacity Of the soil;
second, to let the water escape from
the surface without running over the
ground and washing it off; third, to
permit the air to circulate freely for
a considerable depth; fourth, to Sc
cure crops against drought by ena-
bling the roots to go down to perpet-
ual moisture; fifth, to increase the
area from which the plant roots may
obtain food; sixth, to fill the soil full
Of humus for a considerable depth.
We should fill the soil full of humus
for the following reasons: First, to
furnish food for the microscopic life
that makes the plant food in the soil

floors until their entire barnyard were
surfaced with concrete, says the Ma
tional Stockman.
1t is no common sight in the spring
and winter to see an earthen barn lot
so deep with mud that animals go
thirsty rather than attempt a trip to
the water trough.
The effect is bad on all kinds Of live
stock, especially on fattening animals
and dairy cattle. Feeders must have
an abundance of water to fatten quick
ly. Insufficient water cuts down the
quantity Of milk given by dairy cows.
Lack Of enough exercise further de-
croases the yield. An occasional trip
through this mud to the trough so
cakes the cows udders with dirt that
the mixer wastes valuable time in
washing them-and they must be
washed, If one would have clean,
wholesome milk. Continual tracking
through the mud not only makes more
Currying, but often produces an irrita-
ton on horses legs known as
scratches. Suddenly frozen, such an
earthen lot is so rough that 1t Is i'm
p~assable. Moreover, the old barn
yard-with its surface worked up year
after year-becomes a storage place,
which carries over the disease germs
from n season to another, The
droppings are entirely lost, and,
mixed with the earth, tend to make
the lot muddier the following year
To keep up the fertility of the soil
all the manure produced on a farm
should be saved and returned to the
field.

One man with four mules and a disk
plow can do more and better work in
one day breaking land and turning
under vegetable matter than four men
with one-horse plows. BY using large
plows and strong teams the soil will
be d%eepened, filled full Of humus, the
wages of from one to three men saved
and the yields more than doubled.

NoCAIES NOTES.
Survey of the Happenings of the Line
 City and Vicinity During the Week.

Yesterday there was extant 8 report that on Thursday evening a marauding band of bandits mur- dered and robbed eight Chinese gardeners at the Chinese ranches in the vicinity of [muris, about forty miles south of Nogales. That is one of the vicious features. Such bands take advantage of the un- settled condition of affairs, and piIlage and murder without any regard to the issues that the re- volutioni>ts are advocating.
 Yesterday evening there arrived at Nogales Reverend J H. Heald, superintendent of missions for the Congregational church in Arizona md New Mexico. who was accnm- panied by Mrs. Heald. In furmvr years Mr. Hedld was pastor of the Congregational church iu N1g ties and his family made his home in rhe line city several wears This Is the first vi,it of Mrs. Heald iu eleven wears, and the I4dy Is taking q vantage of lhe opportunity to vi-it with her friend, of the former time. Tomorrow MT. HraId will conduct service in the Congrega- rionul church..
