proper vein is struck the water will be sufficient for the needs of Prescott. At a depth of some thing over 1000 feet in the oil well sunk near this city a water gusher was brought in and it is stated that this same vein will be found at the well near the power house.
 The well has been sunk to the first strata of rock and when this is penetrated our water will probably be muddy for a few days as the water now used comes from the vein lying under the first rock.
 Prescott has suffered a scarci- ty of water in the dry season every year since the plant was installed here and we trust that this well will furnish an abund- ance of water for every need.

ZENITH SOCIETY WINS
 BEMlS LOVING CUP

For the fourth time in as many
 years the Zenith and Garland stararv societies of the Agricul-
 tnral High School clashed Thurs i.v night on the arena Of ora
 .orv sn. for the purpose of decid- ;,r whose color should adorn .ho % Remis Loving Cup for the coming year
 Society spirit ran high, and .bo two sides were evenly match in noise capacity. Promptly at SD. m, the two societies marched into the auditorium and inn mediately after entering began yelling. Each member was loyal to his respective society and showed his appreciation of ex- istence by causing his gaffing machine to deafen the ears of the nearby spectators.
 Each society was represented by three boys and three gilrs. Messrs. Wells Hamby, Edward Mccain and Cecil Gee, and Miss. es Nellie Bush, Gladys Greeson and Ruth Wylie represented the Zeniths. while Messrs. Grady Gammage, Walter Brown and Dale Mcdaniel, and Misses Leila Andrews, Hattie Mum and Ruth Helbig formed the seXtette for the Garlands. When the twelve speakers had finished, the judges retired to decide the winners. During this intermission the yelling was the loudest, the long estand strongest of all times.
 After about thirty minutes one of the judges appeared on the stage to announce the decis- ion, and after keeping the anXi- OuS crowd in doubt for a few minutes, declared the Zeniths had won the cup. Mighty shouts Ofloy went up, out, in and over, and it was five minutes before the judge was able to announce the two contestants who shall represent the school at Camden April F. When finally the noise ceased Miss Nellie Bush of the zeniths and Walter Brown of the GarlandS received this honor.
 At this juncture the crowd de- parted for their homes and pre- valllng conditions were as quiet as could be expected, notwith- standing the continuous bleating ol the Garland's goat" which the Zenths had captured.

tor Hudspeth said little is known in
the state capital of the attitude taken
by the voters regarding the proposed
constitutional amendments and that
little interest is being exhibited along
those lines.
The stock and bond platform de-
mand, however, is being discussed
freely by the state politicians" said
senator HudSpeth- Personally have
made no investigation of what that
clause in the state platform calls or
or what its effect would be upon the
present laws if passed in the shape
of an amendment. If upon investiga-
ton 1 find compliance with the plat
form demand will mean practically
the repeal of the present stock and
bond law, which was passed by gov
ernor Hogg, I certainly shall oppose
It, platform demand or no platform
demand
Allison MayfieId has stated that
such would be its effect and I have
heard the same statement made sew
eral times at the state capital by 9TH
er persons."(
As q member of the house investi-
eating committee in 1910 which found
the Rusk ore beds being operated at
loss to the state, senator Hudspeth is
interested now in the reported inten-
ton of governor CoIquitt to reopen
the industry.
THE project doesn't look feasible
to me. as a paying proposition" said
the senator. The transportation of
the ore to the penitentiary smeIter is
too costly and in connection with the
cost of obtaining coke. even the use
OF convict labor is unlikely to make
the foundry paying institution. Per-
maps the penitentiary commission NAV
report favorably upon the suggestion.

The state foundry at Rusk was on
Grated until 1910, when a penitentiarv

ator Hudspeth was a member. report-
ed the project costing the state more
than 1t produced. Since that time tbe !

ing were uniformly good, and the own
ers of the sprayed orchards were well

The following splendid results of
this work are valuable to farmers and
fruit growers In every other state in
the union as well as Kansas, for
they demonstrate beyond doubt the
helpfulness Of spraying.

or 81 per cent compared with un-
treated parts of the same orchards.
Not only was the actual and rela-
tive amount of merchantable fruit
materially increased. but the average
percentage of number Is and number
2's, which are the high-priced grades,
was also increased by Is per cent and
&C per cent, respectively.
The average net profit from spray
ing was shown to be s162 per tree,

sold as Orchard run" and to be al
most doubled when properly graded
and marketed.

ECCENTRIC FARM
WORK THAT PAID
En&Iish Gentleman Used Novel
Method of Kidding Farm
of Injurious Potato
Beetle.
CRY ]. II. HAYNES.l

On a neighboring farm lived an Eng
lish gentleman who certainly had
some novel methods OF working.
His farm consisted of some clay
lands. In the center of this farm was
very rich, black field that had for.
merly been n swamp.
The soil was mainly made up of de-
cayed vegetation. and when drained
was as loose as an ash heap.
In this field he annually grew po-
tatoes and watermelons. When the
Colorado potato bug came around he
headed them of in this way:
He planted the potatoes In drills
and leveled the land smooth. When
the potatoes began to come up he ran
along the rows cultivator and COW
cred all the young shoots under.
In a week or so when they made a
second appearance he did the same
thing, using a larger shovel on the
cultivator. This was done the third
time using a single shovel plow which
left the rows properly hilled up.
The bugs never got a chance at the
potatoes-get disgusted and looked for
other fields to work on.
The covering of the shoots seemed
to help. for when they were left to
the light and air they grew tremen-
dously thrifty.
He raised watermelons and lots of
them, but not for the usual purpose
they are grown.
He pressed the juice from the mel
ons, boiled 1t down in copper evap-
orators to a fair syrup. and with this
syrup he used apples for thickening.
to make apple butter, and 1t was of a
quality hard to beat.
He supplied large quantities of 1t
to the nearby markets and at good
prices. The syrup was of finest quail
fly and much Of 1t was used.

CARING FOR PIGS
DURING SUMMER
Business Should be Conducted IN
Careful and Bueiness-Ltke
Way for Ultimate
Succes6.
By A, J, LEGG.)

Many farmers think that they can
not AFFORD to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves
in many instances and of course do
not make much growth but one may
see a pretty good profit in feeding at
the present high prices of both feed
and pork.
the pasture they can gather from the
field and what grain is given them
goes to growth and any one who has
tried 1t has found that only mod
crate ration fed to the shoats on pas
ture will make a good growth through
out the season.
Early spring pigs OF any good breed
can be made to average pound of
gain a day by the time they are eight
or ten months old and a large part of
this can be made on pasture.
The pig that is fed enough food to
keep It growing rapidly from the
start to finish is usually the most
profitable porker.
In some sections where there is suf-
ficient waste crop to fatten the hogs
1t may be profitable to allow the
shoats to shift for themselves.
However, usually the hogs that are
allowed to shift for themselves and
get fat on the waste are easy victims
Of cholera and swine plague. There
Is section in the western part of my
country in West Virginia where the
hogs are allowed the free range of
the forests and that locality Is visited
by cholera every year or two.
There are quite as many hogs that
die from cholera there as ever reach
the pork barrel. Hog raising as a
business must be treated in business
way and If it is conducted without
cost there Is little profit.

A method of subsoiling that is at

for this practice is that 1t virtually
changes a farm from a or s-lnch lay

of the food in the lower strata made
