results have been very good.
 When reasonable care is given to the selection of herd and proper attention given to the feeding and care of them after selection. the re- turns will average from s5.00 to 5000 per COW per month for the entire year This q little more than pays for the feed and care of the COW and leaves the increase as profit to the farmer.
 From herd of 9 cows. one can reasonably figure on raising 20 calves: 10 heifer calves at q year old would be worth from $50 to s6O per head and To steer calves worth from s30 to $40 per head, thus bringing in d fair net revenue to the farmer A herd of this size can he handled on 40 acres of good alfalfa if reasonable care is taken of the land and hay is put up during the spring and summer to be used dur ing the winter and grain is disced into the alfalfa in october. so that the ma ximum amount of green feed can be produced.
 It is a good plan to raise a few hogs to take care of the extra skim milk. this being a source of con- siderable profit.

There are at the present time about 1j.O0J head oc dairy cows fed in al falfa pastures in the salt River Val ley. -A large proportion of these cows are grade HClsteins, which seem to be the faVorite breed among the dairymen of the valley.

In determining the fitness of a place for the breeding of any class of live stock for profit, there are three essential features which must be taken into consideration. for they will largely determine the success or failure of the enterprise. These es- sentials in the order they present themselves to me are, first, q suit able climate. second. an abundance of forage, and third. a ready and remunerative market for the fin ished product.
 The climate of the Salt River val
 icy has long been noted for it's in vigorating and beneficial effect upon
 the human family. and in no less a degree is the same good effect noted upon the livestock The dry balmy
 desert air that we enjoy the whole year through is just as stimulating as the gentle breezes that float over
 the highlands of switzerland for a few months only each summer. and have gained for that country a world wide reputation.

 As a mortga Sc-liftcr or money maker the hos business has no equal

 with flying start" Some idea of the possibilities of the hog as a money maker can be gained from the follow irG. Suppose the future hog raiser makes lis start with twenty acres CT alfalfa in the Salt River Valley
 After Inc has properly fenced his land lac builds ten pens at small cost and therein puts ten good brood sows. In less than four months these scvs will farTov an average of six pigs half rf which are sows Tn eight months with proper feeding he will have thirty barrows weighing two hundred pounds. for which lac will receive Si@o.ue. He also has thirty new sov-s or forty sows in all. In the mean time his original ter sows will have farToWed again bringing him sixty new pigs. which st this time will be three months old. Now he has forty brood soyvs and sixty three months old piss. By the time the sixty pigs are ready for market where they will bring SSio.00. the forty .,cws- will have fsrrowed two hundred and forty pigs. Iic now has his ranch. forty sows sixty fat hogs. two hundred and forty piSs-and he has only been go- ing for six months, At this time he had best sell five of his forty I about S1o0.0Q. He will have thirty five sows that will bring him annual ly about four hundred and twenty hogs for the market. This number can be raised on twenty acres of good alfalfa, if proper care is exer- ciscd. At seven cents per pound, these market hogs will be worth SIfo0 per head. giving the owner a gross income of $5SS0.00 per year.
 The cost of raising fat hogs here amounts to approximately three and one-half cents per pound. including labor. making the four hundred and twenty hogs cost S294O,O0. the net profit being S294oO0. This result can he attained the second year and who ,au hope to make more than $147.00 per acre annually
 The above figures are the result of tho writers own experience and the ss me result can he obtained by any careful farmer in this valley. ! Why this valley2 Because it is only here that the fields are green for 1 twelve months in the year and the l climate is mild enough to allow the 1. hog raiser to do away with the clabo- | rate equipment necessary for the i prot lection of hogs in cold weather

Four Bootleggers
bootleggers Caught and Brought
to Justice.-Sherif Smith and
States Attornzy Waldron De.-
erve Much Credit in Convictinp
the Law Breakers.

-Four of the residents of this
city have during the past week
been in the tolls of the law as
the result of charges made against
them for the violation of the
prohibition laws of the state.
One of the alleged bootleggers
is Donald Mcdonald, who after
considerable delay and after be-
coming acquainted with the fact
that Che states attorney would
have almost sure case against
him. decided to enter a plea of
guilty. He received sentence
OF ninety days in the county Jail
with fine of $350.OO. "Dago
Frank" and Max Friddle were
two others who were charged
with the unlawful sale of liquor.
They waived examination before
Judge Heath, who for some un-
know reason permitted them to
be released upon their own recog
nizance. Both thereupon made
very hasty exit from the city.
rsv be just as well that they
did, for they were ANYTHING but
the most desirable Of citizens.
Paul Sloss. local blacksmith.
was among the number who was
called to answer charge Of hav-
ing sold liquor unlawfully. He
decided to plead not guilty. He
was represented in court yester-
day and today by attorneys
Parks and Jefferson. Witnesses
for the state alleged that Sloss
sold Intoxicating liquor on the ev-
ening of May 81. The trial of
this case occupied full day, af-
ter which the jury returned a YER
dict Of guilty. He will in all
probability receive sentence on
Monday.
The officers of the law have
demonstrated that they are ever
alert as regards the vio1ators of
the law. The actions of the last
string of violators and the penal
ties ,neted out to each one is evil
dcnce that the legal representa-
ives Of Golden Valley county
have been most discreet IN the
apprehension of the right parties
to crime.
Among the other cases which
occupied the attention of the
court was the case of Hornev VS..
Forsythe. Verdict was rendered
in favor of the defendant.
The case of Ekre VS.. Meek re-
suited in verdict in favor of the
complainant.
On Monday the following ap-
plications for citizenship were ap-
proval. Christ Hanson, Knute
