FIGURE COST OF BAD ROADS
Hauling Produce More Expensive
Here Than in European Countries
Total Haulage Expense.

American farmers have begun to
figure the matter of roads little diff
ferently than in former years." says
President Claude S: Briggs OF the
Briggs-Detroiter company Of Detroit.
when the good-roads movement was
in it's infancy they used to ask them
selves How much will good roads
cost me?' Thanks to the intelligent
propaganda of the daily and farm pa.
pers as wen as other agencies farm
ers are now asking themselves How
much are bad roads costing me-?
According to government experts
the cost of hauling ton Of farm prod
uce a mile varies from seventeen
cents in localities where fairly hard
gravel roads exist to thirty-five cents
a ton in parts Of the country where
the roads are in poor condition. On
the other hand, in those European
countries where hard roads prevail
the cost is as low as nine cents ton
a mile. The department Of agricul-
ture has estimated that the total haul

TREATING HOGS FOR CHOLERA
ISummary of Results Obtained From
Use of Serum Are Interesting
as Well as Valuable.
By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ex-
| pertinent Station.)

| pertinent Station)
| In recent report of the chief Of
the bureau of animal industry, sum-
mary Of the results obtained from the
use of serum are interesting and valu-
able as indicating the usefulness OF
serum in infected herds.
Of 1852 hogs, where 70 per cent
were sick with cholera and the serum
was given to all of them, only 24.3
per cent died. Without the serum a
loss of Is per cent might have been
expected. The value of the serum as
cure is apparent In 11,776 hogs
that were we'll when given the serum
but kept in herds with sick hogs, there
was loss of 2.9 per cent, while in
total of 1858 hogs that were healthy,
then given the serum, and later ex-
posed to cholera, there was a loss OF
only little over one-half Of one per
cent.
In the record kept by the Colorado
Agriculture college, we find that in
the San Luis valley, where hogs were
not given the serum until the disease
appeared, there was loss OF about
% per cent.

SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE
Certain Loss Due to Bad Roads Made
Apparent When Shedding Is Good
During Winter.

The heavy SHOWS and excellent sled
ding serve to emphasize what might
be accomplished if good roads pre-
vailed all over the country. Farmers
can take their bobs and put on twice
as heavy loads as is possible at other
times. 1t is not argued, Of course,
that with roads as smooth as "a dance
hall floor the teams could pull on
wheeled vehicles the loads they do
now on bobs. But there is certain
loss due to bad roads that is made
all the more apparent by the ease
with which transportation Is made
when the shedding is good, says South
Bend Tribune. And to think that for
ali these years nature has been show
ing us the advantage of good roads
and we have been so slow to take the
hint! It should make us ashamed OF
our blindness and stupidity.

INDIVIDUAL HOUSE FOR HOGS
Among Other Advantages They Are
Light, Easily Moved to Fresh Soil
Easy to Construct.

The individual hog house for far
rowing, l think, has many advantages
over the combination sort, writes c. S.
Bratt of Furnas county, Nebraska, in
Independent Farmer.
They are light, easily moved from
one lot to another, or to fresh soil in
the same lot, which is a good pre-
ventive of disease.
The animal heat from the sow has a
greater influence on the temperature
in cold weather than in the ordinary
combination hog house.
1 have used individual houses seven
feet long, seven feet wide of lumber,
but this year have added some made
iof galvanized sheet iron nailed on a
wooden frame These are six feet
eight inches square at the base. They
are warm and dry. do not consider
them as good for warm weather owing
to the suns heat having so much in
iiuence on them.
ANY farmer can make these sheet
iron houses, as they are quite simple

SWINE NOTES.

j Use enough litter to keep the pens
dry.
When securing give the pigs good
dose Of common baking soda.
Keep the pens, troughs and barrels
clean. Don't overlook that.
: 1t is of Importance that the brood
SOW be kept in vigorous thrifty con-
dition, not too fat but full of vitality.
! Feed the brood sow protein foods as
much as possible and avoid feeds rich
IN fat-forming elements.
The first requisite in the hog busi-
ness is a good hog house well venu-
lated set with ends north and south.

SOLD TEETH ARE ESSENTIAL
Lock at Ewes Mouth Before Buying
FulI-Mouthed Animal Can Be
Used for Breeding.

In buying ewes be'sure they stand
well on their feet and have good
straight backs and good mouths.
"Broken-mouthed" ewes, that is, ewes
with broken teeth or badly worn down
should not be bought.
A sheep has one pair permanent in
.cisor teeth when it is year old, two
pairs or full mouth at three years old.
A full-mouthed eve can be used
for breeding even though she is as
much as five years old

Climbing the Continental Divide.
age expense to American farmers for
a year is approximately $50O,OO0,OOO.
And every dollar of this sum comes
from the farmers pocket, for he is
the one great producer who cannot
add the haulage expense to his wares,
for the prices he gets are on de-
livered basis.
81 believe that if every farmer would
take pencil and paper and figure the
amount in tons Of the produce and
stock he markets in year, multiply
it by the number of miles he must haul
it to market, multiply the total by rs,
which is about the average haul
ing cost a ton a mile, and then
consider that he could save nearly
half of this amount every year If
he had concrete or other hard
roads all the way to his market, he
would become an earnest good-roads
worker.
"And this actual dollars and cents
saving doesn't take into consideration
the many advantages Of good roads
in bringing neighbors closer together,
in making it easier and pleasanter to
get to church, school, entertainments,
etc.
with wider interest in better roads
must come a more efficient system of
road building and maintenance. This
is work for experienced and compe-
tent highway engineers, just as much
as building a railroad is the work
of highly-trained specialists. 1t Is no
plaything for politicians"

Brood Mares.

While the brood mares should not
be jammed about and abused, they
do require gentle exercise, light driv-

conducive to the production Of

MEETS DEATH IN
 UNKNOWN MANNER

PHOFNIX. Oct l2.-- Believed to have been dragged to his death by an unruiy yearling heifer. which had broken from the home pasture and was minyling with a neighboring herd the body of John w Vaughn. father of Vernon l.. Vaughn. county recorder of Maricopa county. was found late yes terday afternoon in the pasture of NIT ( B. Williams, adjoining the Vaughn ranch, three and a quarter miles north of town on Central avenue There were several severe wounds about the head. the arms. body and legs were badly bruised and the aged mans clothing was literally torn in shrcds Even his sh oeS had been torn from his feet. Evi. dences of q severe struggle were every- where present. although the exact manner of his death was proble h. atical
 IL was first thought that MT. Vaughn had roped the heifer. and that he had become entangled in the rope and dragged But no rope was found de- spite careful search. It was then the opinion tha; the young COW had at tempted {" gore the aged rancher and had succeeded only ir fastening a horn herself from the weight of the man s body. the heifer probably dragged and trampled him until life was extinct There was no mark showing he had been gored.

DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF
 THE GRAND CANYON

PHOENIX. Oct. l4.-Thr survey and subsequent development of the vast timberland north of the Grand canyon may result in the creation of a new county equal in resources to any in the state. according to State Land Commissioner w A. Moeur, who has just returned from a trip through northern Arizona On al sides the comm issioner learned of the great undeveloped riches of northern Mohavc and Coconino counties. and of the desire of the people that the land be opened for settlemt mt in the near future
 Tiere are between million and million and half acres of unsurve yed Moeur yesterday. "and great deal of tLis IS suitable for dry farming or for grazing land. In the valleys. I iwas told there are to be found many very desirable locations for small farms, where dry farming could be success fully carried on. while on the mesa s range cattle find good grazing. Once the land is surveyed and can be take n up by the state or by individuals. there will be a great influx of people from Utah and it is altogether likely that a new county will be created.
 There is no doubt that some crossing of the Colorado river will be opened up and this great and but httle known country connected with the rest of Arizona Already there is a splendid highway leading from St. George. Utah. to Salt Lake, City. via Lund. on the railroad, and a road through the country north of the canyon would be assured. Three auto stage lines are now in operation over the Utah road from Lund to St. George. b ut few miles north of the Arizona line"

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
 IN THE CLIFTON STRIKE
THURSDAY

PHOENIX. Oct i3 Indications are excellent that the second meeting ar ranged between the mine managers of the Clifton Morepci district and their former workmen will result in a confer ence according to all information at hand here tonight.
 A new committee to confer with the mine managers is to be chosen by the workmeu. and the conference should be held before the end of the week.
 There is general belief locally that the conference which fell through sew. eral days ago would have been held had not an effort been made to misiead the min managers as to the true character of the conference by members desig- mated by the workmen.
 It will be recalled tha; the mana gers stated that they were willing to talk with their own workmen. provided such workmen were in no way connect ed with the Western Federation Of Miners This information was not de- finitely stated to the worknen at Cliff ton, either purposely or through care lessnesS, with the result that the first committee sent to Fl Paso was made up in the majority by members of the Clifton Morenci Western Federation union men.
 As one manager put it; Why should We confer with a group of men about condition. under which they might re- turn to work when the men with whom we are eonferring will never be work men under conditions agreed to. We will discuss conditions complained of by our workmen with our own work. men, but we will no; discuss any mat ter with high or low offie.als of the Western Federation of Miners. Locally there is a strong sentiment naturally enough favoring an early set tIement of the strike. but is generally agreed that the mine managers are probably taking a wise precartion in standing firmly against the Western Federation of Miners to gain a foot hold in theirSamp.
 Charles A. Mover. president of the Federation. today indicated that he would at an early date leave for Caii- lorna and the Federation affairs in the future would be guided so far as Cliff tor and Morenci are concerned, by Guy Miller, member of the executive com mittee.

MONTHS PROGRESS
 IN LOCAL SCHOOLS

The first months session of the Tombstone Schools was completed on Friday last, October Sth. This event brings to mind the fact that early last month all over the state of Arizona many children made the first step to- ward school training with those strange ly mixed feelings which accompany the six-year-old ss he journeys to school on that even,ful morning
 Thousands of boys and girls already initiated into the ways of school life. have reappeared glad to take up the work where II was lief, of last year.
 Many high school graduates have made their first appearance upon uni- versity and college campus. to try out new fields in education and social activ- ities.
 Tie spirit of democracy is the true American spirit. and the public school is democracy's chief exponent.
 It is the purpose of the teachers, pu- pils and Board of Education of the Tombstone schools to make the school plant for the training of citizenship in the highest sense. To that end the teachers are generous in their services and cooperative in spirit. The pupil: are responsive il, their attitude to les sons and tasks assigned courtesies t' superiors and to each other.
 The school board in no less degree has a deep feeling of public interest :. stake, is eonsidera;e of teachers ana pupils alike. and IS progressive 1T method. In word. the public school interest IS one in hich teachers. pupil and school board work together in the highest co-operative spirit for trainini of citizenship.
 The teachers in the various depart ments feel that much has been accom- plished thi first month, but feel alsC that more eau be done next monti than was possible the first month.
 The following is iis; of those wh were neither absent nor tardy for th' first montb. beginning September 3tl and ending October Sth:
