PRODUCTION OF LIVE STOCK
Not Keeping Pace With Increase in
Popuiation-Manure Needed to
Maintain Soil Fertility.

In raising live stock the successful
farmer fully appreciates the value of
good breed, proper care and scientific
feeding. If any one feature is neglect
ed the full value of the feed is not
secured The production of live stock
is not, nor has it been for several
years, keeping pace with the increase
in our population and the demands
from abroad.
Western ranges have been devel-
cped into farms so we'll satisfied with
the high price obtained for corn, hay
and other products that they have not
bothered with live stock.
Because of the increasing demand
for meat at home, and the deficit
abroad partly because of the war, meat
will command a very attractive price
for many years to come.
Another reason why stock raising
should not be neglected is because the
manure from the live stock is indis-
pensable in maintaining the fertility
Of the soil.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Hens Soon Learn to Enjoy Fresh, Cool
Drink, Just as Human Beings Do
Improves the Egg.

Eggs are made up of what hens eat
and drink and their taste as we'll as
general appearance can be changed in
a few days by such foods as onions,
garlic, fish, stagnant, muddy water,
etc. AS the average egg is about 80
per cent water, the Importance of
plenty Of pure, fresh water is very
evident. The mudhole beside the tank
where the other stock are watered or
the wallow in the hog-lot are not ''all
right" for the hens, though they may
drink it and live for a long time
when forced to by the absence of a
drinking place Of their own. But hens
VIII soon learn to enjoy a fresh, cool
drlnk just as human beings do. The
square fve-gallon tin can, in which
much Kerosene is sold, split in halves
the long way will make a pair of
nice drinking places, that if set in
the shade and cleaned daily, are very
good and in some places very cheap.
The main essentials of these water
fronts should be tightness, lightness,
easy cleaning, and not over five inches
depth when full.

SYSTEM OF FLOCK NUMBERS
Ear Notches Serve as Identification at
All Ttmes-AIso Used With
Cattle or Hogs.

CBy c. S. ANDERSON. Colorado Expert
ment StationD
In most focks of sheep, especially
of purebred animals, it is advisable to
use some system of flock numbers
aside from the registry number. 1t is
easy for an ear tag to be lost out, but
a good system of ear notches serves
as an Identification at all times.
The system used at the Colorado
Agricultural college is one which can
be recommended for small focks. One
notch in the base of the lower part
of the left ear, 1; two notches at the
same place represents 2; one notch
in the lower and one in the upper part,
4, and one notch in the point of the
left ear 5; one in the point and one in

the base, s; one at the point and two
on the base, Z; one on the point and
one in the upper part, s; one in the
point, one in the base and one in the
upper part, 8. The right ear repre-
sents the tens, number ten occupying
the same position as number one on
the left ear. In breeding ewes certain
markings such as holes in the middle
Of the ear can be used to designate
the year of birth.
The system is only applicable to
the small flocks of about hundred
sheep. If one wishes to mark larger
flock, there is a more complicated
system by which sheep numbering up
to 10000 may be earmarked. It is
not commonly used. These systems
can also be applied to the marking of
cattle or hogs.

How He Saw the Louvre.

A French literary man fell in with
one of the new order of American
commercial men the other night and
asked him if he had seen the sights
OF Paris.
Yes" he said, but l find that the
police have closed most of the sights. "
oh, no." said his literary friend,
the real sights of Paris, the monu-
ments, are always open - the Pan
theon, Notre Dame, the Invalides, the
Madeleine and the Louvre"
All, yes. | have seen the Louvre
thoroughly"
"Thoroughly?' said the French
homme de lettres in surprise, recall
ing the labyrinthian vastness of TIE
Louvre collection, land how long did
it take you?"
Fully an hour" was the reply,
which has left the Frenchman puz-
zled ever since.

west, north and east sides tight during
the winter months, while the south
side should furnish the ventilation.
There may be a few glass windows on
the south side, but more space should
be left open, except that curtains may
be dropped down for the nights, and
on few very stormy days On some
occasions these openings may be left
uncovered during the night. Some
times curtains do not allow enough
air to circulate In these cases
openings may be made just under the
roof to allow the air TO circulate more
freely. Whatever the system of venti-
lation may be, it is essential that the
house should be dry and free from bad
odors.
The house should be so constructed
that it can be easily cleaned. The
floor should be smooth. Concrete is
good for this reason. It is true, how
ever, that concrete floors built on
damp ground are damp. To avoid this
trouble concrete floor may be built
on a layer Of eight or ten inches Of
rock or other material which will not
carry the moisture from the ground.
Some poultrymep use floors made of
hollow building tile, and find them
very satisfactory. Where these are
used the tile are laid on smooth sur
face and the crevices filed with CO.
ment.
The perches should be built so that
there will be as few places for mites
to breed as possible. If perches are
removable, so much the better. A
board platform should be placed about
eight inches below the perches to
catch the droppings. This makes a
cleaner floor, and thus adds to the ca
pacity Of the henhouse. 1t makes it
easier to clean the house, and aids in
keeping the mites in check.
The nests also should be built so
that the mites can easily be combated
They could be covered or protected
so that the fowls cannot roost on them.
This is necessary in the production Of
a good grade of market eggs.

CHOLERA is SUSPECTED
Take Temperature of Apparently

TEN Examination of Dead Hog.

When a disease that is contagious
appears among hogs, spreading more
or less rapidly, is quite uniformly ia
tai, and is accompanied by a high
temperature, it is quite safe to as
sumo that it is cholera.
Where cholera is suspected, 1t is
well to get a thermometer and take
the temperature of number of those
that are apparently well. The nor
nal temperature is from 101 to J03
degrees in winter and about 1 degree
higher in summer If cholera is pres.
ent, the temperatures will be found as
high as l05 to l07 degrees.
Make DOSt-mortem examination on
a hog that has just died and examine
the kidneys for small dark red spots
resembling those on a turkey egg.
Look for small red spots along the
small intestines and somewhat larger
ones on the lungs. The Emphatic
glands, which are found in the flank,
along the iutestines and between the
lungs, and which are a light amber
color in health, will be found longest
ed and varying from a pink to a very
dark color.

CARE AND FEEDING OF FOWLS
Birds Which Have Been Developed by
Careful Attention Degenerate
Quickly When Neglected.

Poultry raising shows us that prog
ress is made in two ways-by inner
itance and by care in the development
OF the offspring. Or, in other words,
a character which has developed in
an animal, even though it was not ap-
parent in its parent, is likely to be
transmitted to It's offspring. It IS
for this reason that close attention and
great care should be given to the
subject Of care and feeding Of fowls,
for fowls which have been developed
by careful attention will quickly de.
generate when neglected.
Our knowledge Of these things leads
to the formulation of some general
rules which should be studied and
observed.
/. The land fowl should be made
to scratch" or pick" or tear" it's
feed.
2. 1t should be kept dry.
3. Its feed must consist Of animal,
vegetable and mineral matter, with
sufficient water to moisten it.
4. Its reasoning powers being small,
man must assist it by placing feeds
before it.
The waterfowl should have access
to running water. / know this is an
opposite opinion to that of a famous
duck raiser, but waterfowls for
breeding purposes will thrive best
when they have free access to running
water.

HIGH SCHOOL
 PLAY PLANS
Are Maturing: Juniors Give Minstrel Show Fri day; Senior Play to End School Year in a Blaze of Glory
By the Cub

The most popular medium of anna teur theatricals, for many years past but especially the passing season, IS the Phoenix high school. The play fans have been given treats at diff ferent times during the last eight or nine months by the high school stu dents but the two big treats are kept until the last It is the custom in the high school for the two upper classes to give class plays just be- fore the last of the school year. Tho junior play comes first in the form of a minstrel show this year, while the senior play follows it two weeks later closing the school year with a grand finale.
 This years junior class is d live bunch and born comedians and so when the time came for the decision of what sort of d play should be used. il was decided to give a min strel show. And well did they de- eide. as the show that the junior class is going to present this coming Friday evening at the school audi torium is the livest and funniest blackface show that has been pulled off in Phoenix in years. There wilt DC IuH ITOln tnc moment The curtain rises to the grand finale New dcpar- lures in the form of new songs. new jokes and new stunts are on tap ready to be served to the public There are many in the junior class that are talented but the end men are the funniest that can be obtained.
 The whole show does not go to the ridiculous for there are also the artistic phases. The plantation scene is masterpiece in itself and the songs that make one feel that sen sation that one only feels when homesick or in love. Professor Col odny. who is directing the production has been working hard to perfect the different acts of the show It was due to his desire for a perfected pro- duction that the play was postponed from last Friday evening to the coming Friday. The proceeds of this show will go toward the banquet that the junior class gives in honor of the graduating class of nineteen fifteen.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeIess locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and Iustre. or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifelcss, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up q mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color. t.!at beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage ard Sulphur Compound.'' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti- ! fully darkening the hair after a few | applications. it also brings back the
 gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
 pearance of abund dance.-Advertisa
