forty acres is located in the Fowler District where I was one of the first ranchers to go into the dairy business 1 usually milk about 20 cows and my ranch has paid me from $2,200 to $3,000 a year. My creamery checks run from $1,S00 to $2,000 every twelve months I feed the skimmilk to hogs and net about $200 yearly that way. I also sell enough 5oung stock and beef from the herds increase to amount of about $25O per year. Besides feeding my cattle, have hal from twenty-five to forty tons of alfalfa to sell each season which I have sold at from $6 to $16 a ton in Phoenix I have occasionally leased some grain land and this year I had 10 acres of wheat which threshed eighteen sacks to the acre, average weight 136 pounds t1 the sack. This wheat I sold for two cents a pound. I also had five acres of oats which threshed 150 sacks of 100 pounds each. This wheat was soWn in December and cut in May. The oats were sOwn in october and cut in May.
 One more farmer writes: "We kept eight milch cows last winter milking seven in December and January and eight in February, March and April Our creamery checks for those months ran as follows: December, $75; Jan uary. $90; March, $75 and April. $70. We got d good price for butterfat, av eraging about 8 cents.

 Another farmer writes. My S0-acre ranch is located about seven miles west of Phoenix. l have been in the dairy business many years and believe this is the best dairy country in the United States. In 1907 I kept an ac- curate record of my herd of 23 cows; they averaged over 10000 pounds of milk per month and earned over S1O per month each, through the whole year. I believe an average grade COW will earn from seven to eight dollars per month if properly cared for. Stock cattle being worth so much here, I have always made a big profit from the an- nual increase in my herd. Last year I sold forty head for beef and this sum- mer I soi6 about 5000 worth of miIch cows and beef cattle. I still have about forty head of stock on the place. The first few years I was in the valley only had forty acres and during that period I made about $3,O0O a year from my dairy, stock cattle and hogs. I us ually carry as many hogs on the ranch as I have mf1ch cows, feeding the skimmilk to the hogs"
 Still another farmer writes My
Arizona republican., 1912-06-18

that a great deal of the milk from the Salt River valley can be used in this way and, of course, the highest price is paid for cream delivered in this manner
 The receipts from another herd of dairy cows, grade Jerseys with about ten per cent Durham blood, are as follows:
 During 1910 this herd consisted of sixteen cows and five two-year- old heifers; during 1911, of fourteen cows and five tWo-year- old heifers. Gen erally the evenings milk was sold at retail; the price received for this milk during 1910 was 7.S cents per quart; during 1911, 1-3 cents per quart The morning milk was made into butter, most of which was also sold at retail. The yield of milk during 1910 from the above herd was 13,S7O gallons, the sales being as fol- lows: Milk, 4,55O gallons: cream. 1,105 quarts; buttermilk 43S gallons; butter. 2,417 pounds
 Milk used in the house was about 500 gallons and the butter used in the home about 125 pounds
 During the year 1911, the yield of milk was 13,650 gallons, the sales be- ing as follows: Milk, 4,972 gallons; cream, 1,182 quarts; buttermiIk, 324 gallons; butter, 2,275 pounds
 The amount used for home con- sumption was about the same as dur ing the previous year.
 The receipts for milk, cream and buttermilk for 1910 was $2,OO6, for butter $9OS for calves and surplus stock $420, making a total for 1910 of $3,334. During 1911, the milk, cream and buttermilk sold amounted to $2,183; butter. $S10; calves and surplus stock, $465; total $3,455. The feed bought for 1910 amounted to a little less than $1 1000; in 1911, $820, leaving a net credit to this farm of $2,334 for 1910 and $2,635 for 1911. The farm contains about 25 acres of producing land; and in the summary of receipts there has been no ac- count taken of the milk or butter consumed in the home.
 This herd of cows is worth $2,000 and the entire work and care of the | herd has been done by one man, giV- | ing splendid returns for both the work and the money invested in the small farm
 Below is given a list of the milk in pounds per month, beginning witt 1 October. 1909, and continuing to Sep i tember 30th 1911, showing the amount which would have been real ized from the same herd of COWS il the milk had been sold to the cream cry, which, of course, would have h- volved much less labor than was re quired in the method given above
 The following figures are based upon the price paid for cream gath cred by the creamery wagons.
 The price for cheese, milk sWee cream or delivered cream are all high CT than the figures quoted.

The woman in search of g novelty will be sure to like this gown. The seam {, at the back means shapeliness. The big collar IS charm . ing and may be made either pointed or square at the back. The fronts are simply loose and straight. When a sash or girdle IS worn, the gown is drawn in to the figure and becomes adapted to the home breakfast and occasions of the kind. When left loose, 1t can be worn as a kimono : for the hours of rest in her own room. This gown is made from pretty lowered Japanese silk with a collar and cuffs of plain white, almost the same color effect could be obtained from the use of lawn or other cot ton materials. For a slightly heavier gown, cotton crepe is pretty and many women like cballis or albatross, lined with India silk, even for summer wear. The gown can be made in round length or to escape the floor, as liked. Its lines are the prettiest possible, so that 1t has both grace and simplicity to com mend 1t.

ST. Francois county collected for

over one hundred and seventeen

the interest Of our people in public
