sonaily
And how humanity at large is bene-
flied by this rivalry in munificence,
For the rivals are not competing with
thousands or hundreds of thousands
or even millions. They are welding
hundreds of millions, and nobody can
predict where the race will end.
Death will not bring it to a close, for
1t is almost certain that their wills
will direct the distribution after their
days are done of as much or more
than they have given away in their
lifetimes.
John D. Rockefeller is supposed to
be the richest man in the world. He
himself probably doesn't know how
much he Is worth. His total fortune
may be assumed to be between $780,
100000 and $700,OOO,OOO If he lives
another Is or 20 years and doesn't
give away too much, he may die bill

known
Enormous Sums Between Them.
Andrew Carnegie Is not so rich.
No one knows just what he took for
his interest in the steel trust, but it
Is supposed to have been in the neigh
borhood of $250,OO0,00 or $SO0,00O,-
900. Today he is worth something
between $2O0,0OO,0OO and $500,0OO,O00.
1t would scarcely be an extravagant
- - no
total of the Rockefeller and Carnegie
millions at a billion dollars. And
they are rivals in placing this we'll
nigh inconceivable sum of money
where it will do the most good to
mankind
1t would be interesting to know
Just what passed through Mr.. Rookie
feller's mind on that morning not so
long ago when he read in his copy of
the World that Mr.. Carnegie, by hand
ing out $4,000, 900 for peace, had pass
ed him In the race to give away the
most money. What did he do in that
library at Pocantico Hills, the West
chester county suburb where he lives
each autumn and Christmastide?
Probably he walked to the bay win
dow which commands view of the
cold, gray Hudson, thought bit, and
smiled that inscrutable smile Of his.
The first great gifts of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and Mr.. Carnegie were made in
1891. They have been giving ever
since. In all that time Mr.. Carnegie
has heen handing ont his money at an
average rate Of $16,43836 a day. Mr..
Rockefeller, just at the moment a few
millions behind, has been generous to
the tune of SIS ,9S2.64 a day. But Mr..
Rockefeller has only to give away a
few more millions to make his daily
average climb higher than Mr. Car
negie's.

StaeI-Cutting Torches

After the fire that destroyed
the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce building recently, oxya
cetylene- cutting torches were
employed to sever the steel
beams which lay in a tangled,
twisted mass over the place
where the bodies of six victims
of the fire were supposed to be.
The intensely hot fame, concen
trated in blowpipe pencil, cut
through the huge beams, some of
which were So inches broad, in
from four to five minutes. Ere
quently the same beam was cut
in several places, in order that
the pieces might be more rapidly
removed. By no other method
could the work have been per-
formed SO quickly. - Youths

A Free Trader

Henry George Jr., the son of
his distinguished father, made
his first speech in Congress on
Tuesday, when he announced
himself a free trader and ex-
planned that he had taken up his
lot with the Democratic pfrty
because he believed it was the
only great party that was NOV
ing toward light. His speech
was respectfully listened to by
Democrats and Republicans alike
but did not arouse enthusiasm in
either party. His words were
twisted by Mr.. Pickett of Iowa
in following speech to show
that the Democratic party was
urging the reciprocity agree
ment with the Interior hope that
it would lead to free trade.

Pasturiag Cows on Sweet
Potato Vines

Just as an experiment the
owner Of two COWS determined
last year to ascertain the value
of the sweet potato vine for sum-
mer forage. He was not a sci
enlist, and did not know the food
value of the sweet potato vine;
whether it had more protein than
some other plant or whether it
was as succulent as alfalfa, but
he did know that the COWS liked
the vines, and that if they were
gradually fed on them until their
stomachs were accustomed to it
there was no danger of bloating.
This man had one acre Of
ground and he cut it into two
fields, planting it all in sweet
potatoes of the ordinary kind.
When the vines in the fields
covered the ground in May he
turned the two COWS into one Of
these fields, allowing them to
grow accustomed to the new
feed, gradually increasing their
stay in the field until they could
Craze there all day if they liked.
When these COWS had eaten
the vines down in the first field
they were turned into the Sec
ond, and there they stayed until
they had exhausted the vines,
and then they-were turned back
into the first field again, where
the vines had again covered the
ground.
The process was kept up all
summer long and late into the
fall when the vines turned black.
Just as an experiment he dug
the sweet potato field to see if
any potatoes had been made,
and he was surprised to find thai
his crop was even better THAI he
had thought it would be if be
had let the vines grow without
cutting.
During the whole time that he
kept his COWS on these sweet po-
tato vines. he fed them no grain,
and the milk at all times was of
that rich golden color seen when
the grass is new in the spring;
and what was remarkable the
yield was kept up during the six
months as it never had before.
There was hardly any diminua-
ton in quantity, while his neigh
bors COWS, which had been fed
on the sunburned fields, had fall
en- off during the same time till
it almost waste of time to milk
them. The two COWS were also
in the very best of condition,
looking sleek and like we'll fed
animals for a show, while other
cattle in the same neighborhood
were not anywhere near so good
looking. This was an actual ex-
pertinent. Trucker and Farmer.

Alfalfa; 1.70 acres: This was SOW May Is
1906 yielding three cuttings of about five tons
of clcaa hay the first season. During the Sec
ond season, covered by this Timely Hint,
there were seven cuttings with a total of
about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay
was S224l for irrigating water. The labor re-
quired was, mans time, ID days and team
nine days, which is rather high labor require
ment for this alfalfa on account of the small
size of the field under consideration, and linn
tied use Of machinery. This crop at IS 90 to
$1,000 ton, loose, which has been the price
this season, represents cash return OF not
less than $4,000 for the crop; but this hay was

proving to be more than sufficient for that
purpose. since stack of about three tons re-
mains at the end of the season. The manure
from this source, being free from Bermuda
grass seed, was especially valuable for fertil-

The Arizona sentinel., 1911-05-04

The amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about Is working days, with team
TX days. The sesbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half OF the potato ground was
given II irrigations. Bermuda grass, more
over, f1ourished beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require @ days
labor for cleaning up the .45acres so fertilized.
Although the larger part Of the crop came
from the sesbania fertilized portion OF the po-
tatoes, this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, q days mans time and 3
days teamwork being required to put the ses-
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed could easily have been managed by a
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.
The Arizona sentinel., 1911-05-04

The amount OF labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplanting time. One days team work in
preparing the land and about 80 days, mems
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and infer
tilted character OF the soil onions requiring
large amounts OF organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

The crops selected for the season of 1906
were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions, Rockyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides q few hills of watermelons
and sundry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, We're expressed to Tucson and
Bisbee The following statements for the
various crops are on the basis of net cash re-
turns to the small farmer, who with an aver
age family OF five and team of horses is as
sumed to do the work required, as explained
below. Items necessitating cash outlay, as
seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of so cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown. The yields in certain instances are
low, due To the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in geEvlal. was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.
