"The Buckeye Country"

There are many people living in Phoenix who remember when there settlement in the Buck eye country; when the whole region thickly mesquite being sign, the scientists have since announced, the of a most productive soil No matter the soil there and the quite advertised it. Not many people believed then that the soil would ever be called upon produce anything but mesquite.
 A years to be exact twenty--two years ago, many believed that the homeseaders who filed in that section fooling away their time and money, laying the foundation for period of hardship and privation In five years though their foresight and wisdom became evident. Everybody knows now what the Buckeye country is, of locality of thriving settlements and towns The homesteaders who did become discouraged in that five years are of substance and living in luxury, many who followed them into the Buckeye long after.
 This line of thought is suggested by a copy of large and elegant school building at Arlington, the like of which do not believe be in any rural community east of the Arizona line. That school building is better sign of the soil than the mesquite If we knew nothing else of the present Buckeye country Gncudng Arlington and we would know that it's advance in the last twenty years had been marveous-unbeevable, twenty years ago.

STATEMENT BY MIR. PILcHARD
To the Editor Of the Republican, Sir.


 Sir:
 I read with most sincere regret the announcement in your colums of June 27th made by MT. F. A. Jones. that he would not be a candidate for reelec- ton on the corporation commission. Not because of any long acquaintance with him tfor l have known him per sonally only few days) but because believ him to be a good honest man, (such as are not selected from the av- craze politician) in the right place to be of inestimable value to the public against the unreasonable and unjust dealing meted out to us by monopolies such as the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. md others of it's caliber.
 Trusting he may reconsider and be- come a candidate and if not that we may be fortunate enough to select an ether who will be equally as good and fair to all concerned I wish to sign myself his friend.

 PROF. WHITE FROM TUCSON Henry c. White, founder and former principal of the Arizona school for the deaf. connected with the state univer- sity. is in town visiting friends and also has some business in Phoenix He says that the regents are improving, for they have recently given the school resident principal and a resident matron. which are in line with his own recommendations to the governor last winter and Prof. White expects to hear of larger attendance at the school next term. He has been asked by sev- eral parents of deaf children as to whether the new arrangement was more satisfactory for the children, and he has advised them in every instance to send their children back to the school in the fall. The future of the school, he says. will depend on the next legislature. An appropriation for a new site and buildings is out of the question unless there are 3 or times as many pupils present as there were during the past year. The school will be separated from the university by mutual agreement and two problems will be presented to the legislature. Either the school will be quartered in the old reform school buildings at Ben- son, as the board of control has always favored. or the school will be closed up entirely and all the pupils sent to the California institution to be educated at cost of s250 per capita per annum The professor also says that had tAe new system of management been adopted last fall. all this trouble of the past winter might have been avoided.

STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Fertilizer Should Be Kept in Large
Box With Lid Screened That Flies
Cannot Possibly Enter.

A common practice is to manure
the garden every year late IL the fall
or before planting in the spring, no
further attention being given. This
practice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in large box with lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter It,
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places OF these pests, and if they
are allowed to remain near the house
uncovered will prove a great nuis-
ance.
A good plan is to use very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The manure
should be spaded often on the top so
that the water from the clouds or
the sprinkling pot may penetrate to
every part of 1t.
If kept in box a spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom,
80 that the water may drain into q
sunken barrel.
This will supply liquid manure,
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.

THREE RULES FOR FEEDING
Make a Mixture of Grains and Other
Concentrates and Give iniPropor-
tIon to Daily Milk Yield.

It is not practical to spend the time
necessary under ordinary conditions to
figure out an extra ration for each in
dividual COW. It is practicable, how
ever, to make a mixture of grains and
other concentrates and to feed each
COW, from this grain mixture in pro-
portion to her daily milk yield, and
then to give her all the roughage she
will eat up clean, and be reasonably
sure that she has had all the food she
needs to produce milk to the limit of
her ability under ordinary conditions.
The following rules of feeding are sug-
gested by the Pennsylvania station:
/. Feed grain in proportion to milk
yield, that is, give her, for example,
one pound of grain mixture day for
each three or four pounds of milk pro-
duced in one day.
2. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean, up to the point
where she gains too much weight.
3. Whenever she becomes too fat,
reduce the amount of roughage, leav-
ing the amount of grain to be deter
mined by the milk yield.
When a COW leas IS uneaten either
grain or roughage which is free from

Sandy Clay Roads and
the Time to Work Them

more sand should be added.
The road is then shaped, crowned,
and ditched in the usual manner with
a road machine. This should be done
when the surface is soft, yet stiff
enough to pack we'll under the roller
or the traffic. Wide but shallow
bitches should be provided in both
sides of the road, and culverts or
cross-drains should be placed wher-
ever water flows across the road, for
it is exceedingly important that the
sand or clay" roads be we'll drained.
After the clay on sand, or the
sand on clay, road is completed, It'll
should be carefully maintained until
the surface becomes firm and smooth
The construction of this type Of road
is by no means a quick operation.
If soft, sticky places appear, more
sand should be added, and if loose,
sandy places are found, more clay
is needed. 1t is just as important
to attend to these small details as to
any part of the work, for, if they are
neglected, the road is liable to fail
It requires approximately 1 cubic
yard of clay to surface " running
yardss of road IL feet in width, or
about 1175 cubic yards to the mile.
From ga to 1 cubic yard will make
a load for two horses on dry clay
road. The cost of the road will
therefore depend largely upon the
distance the material is hauled, the
average being from $500 to 1000
per mile. A road built under the d.
rection of the office of public roads
at Gainesville, Florida, one mile
long, IA #. wide, and having 9 in.

mile, or ten cents per square yard.
Another sand-clay road built by the
office at Tallahassee, Florida, 16 it..
wide, 7 inches thick, cost $40 per
mile, or about five cents per square
yard.

VALUE OF PAsTURING
Result of Experiments With For
age Crops for Swine.
Alfalfa Proved to Be Most Satisfac-
tory at the Iowa Station, Furnish
Ing Pasture Most Constantly Of
All Crops Tried.

By W. C. PALMER, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College)
The profits in hog raising come
largely through pasturing. The Iowa
experiment station in bulletin No. 1856
reports the result of experiments with
forage crops for swine. 1t was found
that the profits from grazing an acre
of alfalfa in 1911 was, with corn at 30
cents and hogs selling at five CENTS
$65.99; hogs, at six cents, $9709. The
cost per 100 pounds Of pork was but
$2.SS. In 1909, the profit was $2S.62
with hogs at five cents, and $46.os
when hogs sold at six cents.
In 1909, clover when grazed with
hogs returned profit of 1924, hogs
selling at five cents, and $57.O7, at six
cents. In 1910, the clover pasture re-
turned $2S.S2, and $500 with hogs
at five and six cents.
In 1909, rape returned $3.50 and
$47.47 with hogs at five and six cents
respectively; in 1910, $37.51 and $6S.e4.
In 1910, sweet clover returned $42.Ui
and $74.5O with hogs at five and six
cents; in 1911, $23.46 and $3.50. Oats
pasture returned 1888 and $685.
with hogs at five and six cents respect
lively. In 1909, oats, Canada field
peas and rape returned $22.S3 and
$43.S6, with hogs at five and six cents
In 1911, three different lots returned
$53.45, 1882 and $64.63 each with
hogs at five and six cents. In 1909,
the returns from blue grass were
$15,23 per acre, with hogs at five cents
and $31.85 at six cents.
In all the trials corn was fed and
charged at so cents a bushel. Land
rent was charged at six dollars pei
acre. All costs of producing the croI
were figured in. Some meat meal was
fed. This was charged at two ano
one-half cents a pound. Alfalfa proved
to be the most satisfactory. 1t fur
nished pasture the most constantly OF
the crops tried. Sweet clover was
satisfactory the, first year, but grew
too rank the second year.
The results of these experiments
should mean a good deal to North
Dakota. The season is little short
er, but this is in a measure Offset with
lower land rents. 1t is necessary tc
keep in mind that some grain needs
to be fed the hogs in addition to the
forage. When the pasture is alfalfa
corn Is a good grain to use.

WASHINGTON, D, c., Jan. q, r.
There are at present about $4,000
miles of sand clay roads in the United
States, mainly in the southern states,
according to the office of public
roads U. S. department of agricul-
ture. The time to work the roads is
in the spring when the sol lis damp.
If the working of the roads is defer
red until late in summer when they
are dry, they are not only much
more difficult to put in proper shape
but the cost of repair is greater than
If they were worked early in the
spring.
Previous to 1894 comparatively lit
tie, if any, of these roads existed.
The popularity of this type of roads
is due to the fact that it is cheap,
comparatively firm and durable, easy
to construct and repair, and that the
materials out of which it is built are
plentiful in many sections of the
country.
The sand-clay road is made by mix
ing the sand and clay in such way
that the grains of sand touched each
other, the spaces between the grains
being filled with clay which acts as
binder. ...-.-
The approximate mixture of sand
and clay may be determined by FL
ling vessel with a sample of the
sand to be used, and another vessel
of the same size with water. The
water is poured carefully into the
sand until it reaches point of over
flowing. The volume of water re-
moved from the second vessel repre-
sents approximately the proportion
of clay needed.
The proper proportion of sand and
clay can best be determined, howev-
err, as the work progresses, as some
clay will contain more sand than
others. In fact, clays are very fire.
quently found which already contain
about the right proportion of sand
