WERE HEAVY
Agricultural implements Worth
$4O,O0O,OOO Sent Abroad
Last Year.

America has led the world for years in
the manufacture of agricultural imple-
ments of all sorts, but the exports for
1912, as compiled by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, reached the UNI
precedented total of $40.O0OO00. This is
considered By the department a very re-
markable showing. 1t is two and a half
times the total of a decade ago and ten
times that of two decades ago.
All the world, apparently. buys Ameri-
can agricultural implements Mowers
and reapers exported last year went to
more than seventy-tive countries and
colonies. including every grand division
of the world while other classes of agri-
cultural implements were widely distrib-
uted in the years export trade. Europe
alone took S2l coo worth of tie $4O,-
OOO, 900 worth of farming implements ex-
ported in 1912. North America $S,O0OOOo
and South America s9,000,0O0.
Russia Largest Buyer.
Russia is the largest single buyer of
our agricultural implements, the value
exported thereto in the year just ended
having been approximately $1OO00.OW.
against $1,o00.OoO to Argentina, $7.U0,ooO
to Canada and about $s,OO0,Oo each to
France and Germany. Thus. the leading
BUYERS of our agricultural implements
are in the order of magnitude, Russia,
Argentina and Canada. with France and
Germany about equal in the value Of
their purchases though in each case
materially less than the three countries
already named-Russia, Argentina and
Canada.
American mowers and reapers seem to
be especially in demand in Russia, which
took in the fiscal year 1872 S4,900OOO
worth out of a total of S17,OU0Uo worth
of mowers and reapers exported.

Southwest Has Big Calf Crop.

What will be the largest calf crop, so far as the percentage goes, to be recorded in years in the southwest is practically as sured. Calves are already drop ping, and are lively youngsters from strong mothers. Cows have come through the winter in fine shape, due to open weather and luXuriant range grasses and weeds, that small losses will occur, and nearly every COW will be the mother of a healthy calf, says Ell Paso Times.
 Over all western Texas, north ern Mexico, southern New Mex ico and southern Arizona the same good conditions obtain.
 While there will not be as many calves in the aggregate when cows were more plentiful, yet the percentage of calves to the total number of cows will be larger than any former year in recollection of the present generation of cattlemen. And as yearlings are bringing such stiff prices, the range stocEmen will make more from their calf crop this year than for many years, that is if he allows the buyers to sing him song of yellow gold to get the bawlers.
 Many stockmen, however, say that no buyer shall take their young she stuff this year; not even for more money than the young stock are worth at the time of the buyers offers.
 We are going into the breed ing business; we have got to go into the breeding business; and we intend to stay in the breed ing business," is the way one COW man in Fl Paso from the southern Arizona range express ed himself yesterday.

Patagonia is to soon have an amusement palace, consisting of a moving picture show, a dance hall and skating rink, within a very short time, if plans now under way are not miScarried. The block immediately behind the Patagonia Commercial com pany's store, facing on Duquesne avenue, is to be con verted into an amusement park, and build ing will be put up immediately. The plan is to put in a good hardwood floor, which can be used for dancing and skating, and which will cover a space of 4Ox4O feet. A stage will also be put in the building, and moving picture shows can be given two or three times week.

Yarick, the Booster.

Gus Yarick, of Yaricksville, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, U. s. A, was in town a few days this week, and what he had to say concerning his part of this wonderful country would fill several volumes, says the Santa Cruz Patagonian.
 Gus owns a group of claims north of town, in the Mansfield Hosea country, and his friends have dubbed the camp Yaricks- vile, although the real name of his claims is the Patagonia group. Besides being one of the most practical and experienced mining men in the country, hav- ing been employed at different times in all the big mines in this district, Mir. Yarick is simon pure and one of the unadulter- ated boosters of Patagonia. He just boosts, and boosts, and boosts. If anyone thinks for a minute Patagonia isn't the great est and best mining district in all the wide world, a few short talks with MT. Yarick will con- vince him that he has greatly underrated this camp. Boosting just oOzes out of Yaricl1. as it were, and by the way, there is no "hot air" about his talk. He has seen the bottom of nearly all the shafts in this county, also the tunnels and drifts and knows what he is talking about when he says this is absolutely the greatest mineral country on the terrestrial ball.

A Nogaies Picture.

An Adventure on the Mex. jean Border" is the title of a new film, made on the line al NOgaleS, Ariz., and showing one of the boundary monuments and dier near there.
 On the United States side of the line dividing Mexico from the United States United States soldiers are encamped. Fifty yards away, on the other side, the Mexican soldiers have pitch ed their tents. At least, that is what the picture shows.
 One Of the bright eyed senor- itaS of the southern race cap lives two officers. one a captain of her own nationality, the other an American lieutenant. Both of these men, Stanch in war and love. wage silent battle to gain the girls hand.
 The captain of the Mexican troops, being the older of the two, wins the maid with kind ness. The American trooper tries to take the Senorita'S heart by storm. He is repulsed.
 On the spur of the moment, to punish his rival, the Amer ican lieutenant tells falSehoOd to his commanding officer, and nearly causes international com plicationS. Rising above all petty personal feelings, however, the American lieutenant finally de- livers the Mexican captain from jail, returns him to his fiancee across the line and goes back to await his puniSment.-El PaSO Herald.
