FESTIVAL ID bE
 HELD AT PHOENIX

Two days of festival, which will re- peat the important events of history, and which will tell in pageant and color the story of the dawn of Ameri. ca, at Phoenix on February IA and 15, 1913.
 The building of the Casa Grande, the story of the cliff dwellers, the work of the early irrigationists, the advent of the mission builders who created at Tucson in the San Xavier mission the finest example of mis- sion architecture in the world The journeyings of Cortez in search of the Seven Cities of CiboIa'
 The era of Montezuma, the tale of his well and his castle; the pioneer days, and the most recent atmosphere of progress and prosperity will be evidenced in the plan of the pageant. Statehood for Arizona has opened the way for arranging of this big event The cooperation of all parts of Ari- zona is being enlisted
 It is planned to have bands from several parts of the state and bids will be called for Prizes are being offered for the best names for the festival-the name not to include Phoenix. Prizes are also being offer ed for the best color scheme.
 The Woman's Club of Phoenix will decide which are the best colors and the executive committee of the fes- tival will decide the name; the prize in each instance will be $10.
 Entries may be sent in until the II of January and should be mailed to the Board of Trade, Phoenix. Spe- cial rates, it is expected, will be grant ed by the railroads. There will be processions, banquets, dances and mu- sic. The school children of the city will sing and the massed bands will play national airs.

HO HEV PROPOSALS
 FROM THE TURK

LONDON, Jan. 7.-There is practi- cally no disposition in London to doubt that as soon as the delegates of the Balkan allies have celebrated their orthodox Christmas holiday, the peace conference will be resumed. There is a deep-seated reluctance among all parties against re-opening hostilities although threats of such an eYentuality arc still uttered.
 The powers are occupied in offering friendly advices to the antagonists. In case this proves insufficient, the ambassadors are seeking the best method Oi intervention.
 Speculations concerning a method O. providing an issue from the present deadlock are rife.

ADOPTION OF PARCELS POST OP- EMS A WIDE FIELD FOR LIGHT
 AUTOS COLLECTING

After experimenting for nearly ten years in the use of motor collecting and distribution of mail, the United States government admits at last, that in certain localities, where collection stops are few and far between, a mo- tor car is far more efficient than a horse and wagon. In such cases it has decided to allow the carrier to buy motor car, for which he will be allow ed sum more than ample for mainte- nance and repairs
 One of the first cities in which this innovation has been placed in service is Pittsburg. Several Studebaker "20'' delivery wagons are already in satis- factory service there. Other cities are being added to the approved list and prospects indicate that, before the passing of many months, not only the suburban, but the rural routes as well, will be equipped with the motors.
 The addition of the parcels post will also greatly multiply the number of motor cars with the sign "U. s. MaiP' on their panels. Delivery and collec- tion of the parcels will be by motor cars in all the big cities, the govern ment making contracts for the ser vice. Figures on the cost of motor de livery have been asked at virtually ev- cry center, according to the Studebak- CT branch managers, who were recent ly in conference at Detroit, the pecul- jar adaptability of the Studebaker to this class of service, being universal knowledge.
 To great extent, according to de livery experts, the work of mail col lection and delivery must be done by light wagons, capable of making al- most touring car speed on a small consumption of gasoline and oil. An other requisite is ample cooling capaC. ity, for the car must be able to stand at the curb with motors running, for periods of varying length.
 A limited number of larger trucks may be profitably used between the postal sub-stations. but the main part of the work will have to be done by the smaller rigs
 It is typical of the governments conservatism, that in both the general work and the. parcels post, the gov ernment continues it's policy of non- ownership of vehicles.
 Experts have commented on the in- telligent way in which most of the contractors for govern ment jobs have been attacking the de livery problem. Statistics of the mo- tor delivery system already in opera tion are eagerly welcomed and there is a general disposition to question care fully the adequacy of local or neigh boring depots of supplies and repair parts.

PIXIES PEAk NoT T4E HIGHEST

PIXIES PEAK NOT HE HIGHEST
 What is the highest mountain in Colorado? ''Pikes Peak" nineteen persons out of twenty will answer, and incorrectly. The twentieth may know that the two highest mountains in the state are Mount Massive and Mount Ebert, both in Lake county in the Leadville district The altitude ing to the United States Geological Survey, is 14,4O2 feet above sea level The height of Pike's Peak is 14,10S feet. Moreover, there are fifty or sixty other peaks in Colorado approximate ly as high-over 14,0OO feet. The low est point in Colorado is 3,350 feet above sea level. Of all the state, Col- orado has the highest average alti- tude, estimated by the Geological Sur vey at $500 feet.
 Although not the highest mountain, Pike's Peak is probably the best known peak in the United States. There was at one time a weather bureau station on it's summit, and it uow has a substantial railway sta tion at the terminus of the highest railway line in the United States, or North America for that matter. It can also be reached by an excellent wagon road and trail which connect the sum- init with Colorado Springs.

PROPER TIME TO SELL HOGS
Expense OF Keeping Animals for Rise
in Market Often Wipes Out
All Margin Of Gain.

AS a general proposition. it seldom
pays to carry hogs long after they
are ready for masket. Feeders who
have held their hogs for rise in the
market have found that the expense
for feed wipes out all the advantages
of higher price later.
Gains must be made or profits will
be materially reduced. Light feed.
ing is a risky speculation, because
they capnot be carried along without
expensive grain feeds. Heavy feed.
ing can be continued proftably to grow.
ing pigs as long as supplement feeds
are fed along with the fat put on by
the corn In this way $50 to 200
pound hogs can be continued on full
feed to a weight Of 200 pounds or
more and pay large profits.

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Practice-Best to Sell Direct
to the Consumer.

There is no satisfaction, and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. BY being care.
full in gathering eggs. so that they
won't become chilled in winter and sc
the hens won't sit on them overnight
and using a little care In sizing and
selecting. quite an advance over the
common prices may be obtained.
When possible. sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. II not possible, get
a market In your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up to your agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send any
small, misshapen or large ones. Stamp
each egg with rubber stamp. using
your initials or the name OF your
farm, and in a short time you will
have created a demand for your eggs,
and when you have created such de.
mand your eggs will bring the highest
prices, considerably more than your
storekeeper would pay.
Several neighbors could send their
eggs together, paying cent or two
per dozen to one Of their number for
doing the business, and In this way
all would gain little.

MUCH COMFORT FOR POULTRY
Hens Sing and cackIe In cozy Winter
House When Kept Busy Scratch
Ing for Their Feed.

In our winter poultry house on cold,
snowy days our hens sing and cackie
as IL they were enjoying summer
weather. The house is 14X56 feet,
with large windows on the southern
exposure. It's equipment consists OF
clean, inviting nest boxes, self-feeders,
with grit and shells. the ground floor
banked deeply with leaves and straw,
writes George W. Brown Of Hancock
county. Ohio, in the New England
Homestead. We keep the hens busy
from daylight until perch time dig
ging after small grain scattered sew
eral times daily in the litter. Lawn
clippings, meat offal, beets, pumpkins.
cabbage and an occasional sheaf OF
wheat, oats or clover hay suspended
from the roof gives them business.
It Is the busy hen that lays the
eggs. She hustles and has red blood
coursing in her veins to keep her
warm on cold days. Our perches can
be hooked to the roof, and IL we have
any drones in the flock inclined to
spend much Of the day on the perch
we just hook the perches to the cell
ing. They soon get the habit OF
hustling with the rest Of the flock.
We have no use for drones on our
farm save in our apiary.

cord-Storaae Tests.

Tests of cold storage. as made by
one Of the experts of the department
of agriculture led to the conclusion
that poultry keeps better when not
drawn than it does when drawn. The
reason is that the process of drawing
causes bruises which invite the lodg-
ment If germs. Birds that were dry
picke:: kept much better than those
which had been scalded. The experts
summej up the requirements as
prompt storage, dry picking and dry
chilling. These essentials have all
been favorable to the cold-storage

any reason the first wash water looks
milky, a second washing may be
necessary.
One very important factor to be
considered in washing butter is the
temperature Of the water. II the
churning temperature has been right
and the butter has come In good con-
dition, the temperature Of the wash
water should be the same as that OF
the buttermilk. If the butter comes
soft, it may be necessary to use a
lower temperature, and IL too hard a
higher temperature. Extremes should
be avoided in all cases, as too warm
water will cause a soft, greasy butter.
while too cold water will make the
butter appear brittle and tallowy and
cause difficulty in getting the salt well
dissolved
The salt should be added before
working IS begun. then it is possible
to get the salt distributed evenly with
a minimum amount of working.
AS rule. one ounce Of salt to each
pound of butter is sufficient. The use
Of cheap, coarse salt should be
avoided, as it often contains chemical

impurities and disso.ves with diff
Guilty. The salt must be stored in a
clean, dry place, as it readily absorbs
moisture and foreign odors from the
air.
The object Of working butter is to
uniformly distribute the salt and give
the butter plastic consistency. The
old primitive method of working but
ter by the hands is still in vogue in
some places. 1t is very undesirable in
all cases to get the hands directly in
contact with the butter. Il is not only
highly unsanitary, but IT spoils both
the grain of the butter and its appear"
ance. When the hands come in con-
tact with the butter it meits. making
it oily and greasy, at the same time
giving it dead, dirty gray color
Many farmers making only small
amount of butter use a bowl or tray
and paddle, which is great deal
better than using the hands.

RADIsEES GOOD MONEY CROP
They Are Easy to Grow, Develop
Quickly and There Is Little ex-
pense In Producing Them.

For the gardener who lives near q
good market early radishes often
prove a money-making crop. From
the open garden, radishes are the first
crop in the spring that can be turned
into money. They are easy to grow,
develop quickly and there is little
expense in producing them.
The first showing should be made
very early-the first day the ground
dries of little on top. Make another
sowing a week or ten days later, and a
third a week after that. If one sowing
fails another will come on all right.
Even though all three sowings pro-
duces crops, these successive sowings
are necessary in order to provide crisp,
tender radishes for several weeks.
writes W. F. Purdue in Farm and
Home. Most varieties grow very
quickly and soon become woody and
unsuitable for use.
The seed can be sown broadcast or
drilled in rows a foot apart. Either
way is all right because a crop will
make itself before any wedding Is
necessary. Use seed at the rate OF
about six pounds per acre and more
nice specimens will be produced than
if sown thicker.
AS soon as the first radishes are
ready to pull, select the largest end
incest, wash them we'll and tie IN
punches of six or twelve. Early in the
season the stores pay us five cents per
bunch of IL, little later ten cents for
three punches, and finally two cents
per bunch, when it no longer pays to
bother with them. The remainder OF
the crop may be plowed under and
the ground put to something else.
The little turnip-rooted sorts are
preferred in most markets and pay
we'll. The only expense in producing
radishes is the seed, which costs from
10 to Is cents per ounce, and the work
of sowing the seed and harvesting the
crop.

SURE CURE FOR BRO0DINESS

(Ry W. r. GILBERT.)

CBy w. h GlL6SRl.J
A sure cure for broodiness In mems
Is said to be a swing-coop. 1t is easily
made, all that is required being two
box.ends about three feet square, and
some ordinary laths.
The mode of construction is as fol.
lows: Stand the box-ends up and
nail on laths 2Es inches apart for the
bottom and two sides-the top is COW
cred with canvas. tackled along one
edge and tied on the other
This curtain Is raised when the in

or when they are removed later. Now
bore a hole in the ends tride above
the center, and pass q pole or piece
of pipe through. The ends Of the pole
should extend about one foot beyond
the coop. The coop is one lath long,
or four feet. It Is now ready to hang
by dropping the ends into two forked
posts. It is impossible for hen to
sit on the Slated bottom. If she tries
it, the rocking and tipping of the
coop makes her give up in disgust.
The only steady thing about the
coop is the pole passing through the
center, and the most persistent
broody hen is usually glad to roost on
it the first night. When hen has
