WHY SHIP EGGS FROM
 KANSAS TO PHOENIX
Warm Topic Discussed by First in- stitute of Arizona Poultry
 Association

The Arizona Hen-ists, being the
 Poultry association of the state, held
 the first of series of Poultry In-
 stitutes in the assembly room of the
 Water Users building yesterday af-
 ternoOn. Successful from the start
 was the verdict of the committee
 which arranged the meeting, and in
 future when the organization is near
 CT perfect, much greater interest will
 be taken in the lectures. The meet ing was well attended by poult ry fanciers and raiseTs of commercial breeds from all over the county The institute opened with a general discussion of the present difficulties in the marketing of eggs. The ques- l tion, Why should the Salt River Valley, Arizona ever ship in eggs | from Kansas" was debated upon by l a number of members of the associa- . I tion from the floor of the house , C. w. Alexander of Tempe followed with a paper on cold storage as a | solution of the egg problem. Earnest Hall was next in a speech in which | he described the benefits of an as- | sociation similar to this one in the | as a buyer and as seller of eggs | was the subject selected by Fred l Woodward. J. o. Barnd spoke or
 the possibilities of the capon and 1 the methods of production. President 1 F. w. Reed of the association closed 1 the meeting with talk on members | and membership. It is the plan tC | increase the membership until ii in- cludes every poultryman in the coun- | ty and then to spread the organiza ] ton statewide

SELECTING A STALLION.
Some Important Factors That Are Very
Often Overlooked.

=
Often Overlooked.
In the selection of a stallion it Is i'm
portant to see that the horse has a
stout constitution or his emasculated
sons will not be valuable or profitable,
writes w. r. Gilbert in Farm Journal.
This matter of appetite and digestion
should in the stallion represent very
full and greedy habit, as the sire does
not usually do the severe work which
impairs the digestion Of the gelding.
When colt Is added to the list Of
geldings his vital forces are thereby
materially reduced. his bodily strength
is lowered, his digestion is never again
SO good, and his circulation may yet be
healthy, but it is milder.
If gelding be gross feeder this
troublesome excess would have been
more pronounced had he been preserv-
ed entire. If stallion be light feed
er his stock can never be worthy Of
stable room. Whatever else be over
looked, at least have the common
necessaries Of back, body and limbs,
and If you must risk something let it
be the frontage. The hind or propelling
part is the motive power. and without
1t there is no push. Size is an impor-
tant clement, but leggy horse is high
~ Objectionable.
Not only the stallion, but the brood
mare Of any type, should have a consti-
tuition the vigor Of which cannot be
doubted. Every good judge Of horse
can see at glance whether she pos

suits. Late varieties are recommend.
ed for localities where frost is likely
to appear after the 10th of April.
Freezing weather after fruit trees
have blossoined is pretty sure to kill
the entire crop. The late varieties of
apples and cherries are more apt to
escape frost in the budding period
than the early kinds Experience in
the Vast ten years shows that the dan
ger is nearly all in the spring.

cherry crop.
There are good reasons for recon-
mending the gradual development of

methods Of handling and quality of
young trees. l prefer level land, so
that ice and icy water may be held
around the roots of matured trees In
the spring. This holds back the bud
ding until danger from frost is over.
Young trees ought to be protected
from this ice and chilly water by a
thick coat Of manure. Roots obtain a
better hold and trees are stronger on
level land than on slope. l would
not place the orchard in low place,
however. A good depth Of loan is de-
sirable, and it may be sandy, but not
gravelly.
With all these things to study and
in view of the fact that there is no
income for few years, l would say
1t was unwise to make the entire in
vestment for an orchard and do all the
work in one season. There are many
features that yield a profit the first
year, and these need attention from
the first, although they do not pay bet
ter than fruit in the long run.

Of what the veterinary experts declar-
ed to be starvation, notwithstanding
the fact that they were offered all the
corn they would eat. When pigs on
other rations were weighing $50 pounds
each and were fat and ready for mar
ket, the pigs on corn alone were thin
and scrawny, weighing forty to sixty
pounds.
When ash alone was added to the
corn the results were not percepdbly
better. Ash was made up from year
to year on different formulas. but al
ways with about the same result. APP
parently the corn needed something
else instead of or In addition to
the ash. When complete protein
was added to the corn In the form Of
blood serum, tankage or alfalfa, the
pigs mentioned uniformly made gain
rapidly, grew Justify and developed in
every way.
'Skimmilk Is one of the best sup
Elements to corn now KNOWN" said
President Waters. "There is no ques-
ton whatever that its value lies in its
protein or ash content or both. BY
separating the two and feeding the
protein as casein. with corn to one lot
and the ash and sugar with corn to an
other lot, we are in fair way to de-
termine which is the most valuable con-
stituent."
The results at Manhattan show that
the milk without casein containing ash
and sugar has not produced better re-
suits than corn alone. The pigs are
unthrifty, weighing about forty-five
pounds. They have made no gains in
live weight in about six months and
are thin and scrawny. The pigs fed
corn and casein, the protein OF the
milk, weigh $50 to 800 pounds and
are fat and ready for market.-Kansas

Animals Fed Exclusively on That Grain
Will Starve to Death.
President Henry j. Waters of the
Kansas Agricultural college in an ad-
dress before the American Society Of
Animal Nutrition at the International
Live Stock exposition, Chicago, said
corn is deficient in two ways-it is def
cient in ash. and it does not contain
enough Of the right sort Of ash mate
rial: 1t has not enough protein, and
more than half the protein it has is not
suitable or is incapable of producing
growth.
President Waters showed that pro-
tein once built up in animal body, such
as meat scraps. dried blood, milk case
in, eggs. ETC.. are complete proteins and
produce growth when fed to other ami
mails. A large proportion Of the vege-
table prOteins derived from beans, peas,
linseed meal, clover and alfalfa, appear
to be complete and are capable Of max
Ing growth.
Weanling pigs weighing about forty
five pounds at the Kansas Agricultural
college were fed one lot on corn and
another on corn and alfalfa pasture In
summer and alfalfa hay in winter. In
every case the pigs were put into the
experiment at weaving time weighing
about forty-five pounds, being March
pigs. The experiment began about
July 1. In each experiment one group
fed on corn alone In dry lot did not
thrive. At least one pig died each year

MAKING
FARM
, SHOULD like to make it clear to

SHOULD like to make 1t clear 10
farmers in general. but more par
ticularly to owners of small tracts
of land. that the fruit interest Is
shamefully neglected in a number or
states. 1t seems like throwing away
money. No branch of farming Is east
er or more profitable than fruit raising.
1t is feature that belongs especially
to the little farm, but l wish to ask
some of the grain growers Of the coun-
try if they have ever compared the
acreage value of corn or wheat with
that of apples.
If they have not taken the trouble to
do so it would be we'll to give the sub
ject little attention. Fruit cannot
take the place of grain. but 1t can add
great deal to the farmers income with
out interfering with his general work.
On tract of twenty to forty acres
there ought to be five acres Of large
fruit. Apples pay best of all. The
crop is quite reliable. and prices almost
invariably are sufficient to return a
satisfactory profit. With quotations as
they have been for several years the
orchardist can stand partial failure
now and again.
Two men will do the necessary prun-
ing in five acre orchard in one week
every fall and the spraying in one week
in the spring. The picking is usually
done by the buyers. They know how
to classify and pack better than the
farmer does. Before severe frosts set
in the owner should give couple of
days to mulching the orchard. This
amount of work is trifling compared
to that required in raising crop of
grain. In an average season FIVE acres
Of fruit will return profit of from
81 900 to $1,000.

Clucks and Crows.

When fattening an old hen or any
fowl that is apt to be tough feed 1t on
bread soaked In vinegar for about six
days before killing. and the meat will
be tender.
Laying hens should be fed literally
during cold days, for they need not
only the usual quantity Of feed to
manufacture eggs. but an extra sup
ply to counterfeit the effects Of the
cold.
1t Is more essential that the poultry
house be cleaned out oftener In the
winter than in summer. for during
cold weather the house is shut up and
the gases are confined. thus increasing
the danger from disease.
Keep on culling. II there Is but a

will weed out the drones and keep
only the workers Is the man who Is
following good business principles.

WHEN you MARKET BEEF.

Some Of the Things the Stock Raiser
Ought to Bear In Mind.
Every farmer who feeds or handles
cattle for the market should take some
reliable daily farm paper. which has
good complete market report, and
keep posted on the market. He ought
to know the type Of cattle he has and
in what class they belong, so that he
can intelligently interpret the market
reports. He should also know at what
time Of the year his cattle are most in
demand.

the Chicago market over period ex-
tending from 1899 to 1909 G. II. Dacy
