They were not of the type which the
American is accustomed to think of as
Indian. Their faces are brown rather
than red, broad and fiat in shape, with
a wisp of coarse black mustache, of
which the possessor is apt to be ex-
cessively proud.
The army stood up well under the
discomforts of travel. Jammed in the
long cars like sardines in a box, such
of them as could squeeze their way
to the windows grinned cheerfully at
the American Mexicans who gathered
to see them pass. Every Mexican in
the neighborhood had come to the rail-
road station, where they crowded
around the trains as closely as the
guard of American soldiers would per-

with the cause for which these men
were fighting.
One large and corpulent American
Mexican stood out in the sun shouting,
Viva Carranza" at the top of his
voice. Occasionally he varied this by
answering himself. "Carranza" He
gathered quite a crowd, who regarded
ihs performance in the light of an en-
tertainment. Many of the native Mexi-
tie stands for the sale of candy and
fruit. They did rushing business.
When the troops entrained at Eagle
Pass, each man was given dollar in
American money. This was expected
to supply him with food until he
reached Douglas. A good many of those
dollars stayed in Del Rio. The troops
bought popcorn and crackerjacks like
children at country fair.

cans were SO far above their charges
from across the Rio Grande that COM
parison is hardly possible.
AS each train pulled out of the sta
tion the watching Mexicans gave 1t a
round of cheers and good wishes. Then
they settled down to wait for the next
one. The trains went through until late
in the night. The American population
of Del Rio went to bed, but most OF
the Mexicans continued to watch. The
first trains were packed with men of
the regular army. Those that passed
through last carried large proper

can soldier travels with his family.
These women serve as the commissary
of a Mexican army.
This arrangement solves many prob
lens which come up in the feeding of
troops. The army does not have to
carry a score of camp kitchens and doz-
ems of cooks. The women bring along
their own pots and pans and do. all the
cooking. Besides this, they are the
foragers, and when there are no ra-
tions to be served, they go into the
surrounding country and gather food.
Much of the ability of Mexican army
to live on the country Is due to the
women.
A Mexican soldier has only one duty
to fight. At the end of a days march
he lies down by his rife. while his
wife makes camp and sees to the even

the armies since war first broke out
five years ago. 1t has been said that
they even join in the fighting, but in
the ma jority of cases they only use the
rifle to bring down occasional small
game for food near the line of march.

years old, who were born with the ar

RAISING OF SQUADS

ties confronting the successful raiser
of pigeons seem to be in securing
good breeding stock and finding g
good market for the produce of a
small flock. Pigeons are profitable
source of income on general farms
where they may secure much of their
feed from the fields, provided they
are not nuisance and the loss By
shooting and by hawks, owls, and cats
is not large. They can also be raised
successfully on farms where they are
closely confined, provided the squads
can be marketed to good advantage. >
Then it is pointed out that prolific
pigeons producing large squads are
commonly kept confined in pens,
which involves proper housing and a
fyaway, or outside yard, covered
with wire. Common pigeons, allowed
their freedom, are less prolific and
produce smaller squads. A study of
New York SQUAD quotations shows
that the price per dozen for dressed
squads falls rapidly as the weight
goes down and the color departs from
white While Prime White weighing
10 pounds to the dozen brought 1915

pounds to the dozen and an average
price of $3.43 for the year. 1t must
be remembered, however, that the

SHARPENING STONES;
THEIR VARIOUS USES.
Hundreds Of Them and Many Are Sc
lected for Some Special
Purpose.

Not many people realize that there
is a special sort of milestone for
nearly every purpose. The proper
sharpening stones for each different
Use are exhibited in the National Mu-
scum at Washington, d. c., and there
are hundreds of them.
The hard, white, compact sand.
stones found near Hot Springs, Ark,
are among the best whetstones
known, equaling, If not SURPRISING,
the Turkey stone which for years mas
been considered one of the best.
The hard, fiint-like stone should be
used only to sharpen instruments
made Of the very best steel, requiring
very keen edges and points such as
those used by surgeons, dentists and
jewelers.. other grades, although
composed of the same ingredients, are
more porous, the sand grains are not
as close together and a rougher edge
Is given to the sharpened tool. Be-
cause OF their more porous nature,
these stones cut faster, proving suita.
BILE for the finer edged tools and for
honing raZors.
Indiana and Ohio supply a whet-
stone made from a sandstone OF a
coarser grain than the novaculite Of
Arkansas, but nevertheless quite uni
form. 1t may be used with either oil
or water. and is useful for sharpening
household cutlery or ordinary carpen-
ters' tools. But since 1t is easily cut
and groved by hard steel, it is not
suitable for the fine instruments OF
dentists and surgeons.
Schythestones and moving machine
stones are practically all made from
mica schist rocks found in New
Hampshire and Vermont. These rocks
are composed of very thin sheets OF
mica and quartz crystals. The grit
OF the schist is not as sharp as that
OF the sandstone, because it contains
foreign material other than silica
which prevents the quartz grains
from abrading freely.
Mica schist stones wear down
quickly from constant use-an advan-
tage rather than disadvantage, for
as they wear down, more of the hard
silica grains are exposed to do the
sharpening. Neither oil nor water Is
open as with other milestone rocks.
Scythes require stones with these
qualities.

clean up in one to two hours The
cost of feeding pair of pigeons
varies from 81 to $3.50 year at the
present price of grains (1914. Re-
ports from number of pigeon farms
give an average cost Of 1882.
Clear drinking water, grit, broken
oyster shell, and charcoal should be
kept before the pigeons all the time.
Salt is fed to pigeons in various
forms, and supply of this material
is generally considered essential.
Pigeons not accustomed to eating fine
salt are apt to eat too much if given
a large quantity at one time, although
fine salt is used with good success by
many careful feeders. Salt may be
fed in lump form, such as rock salt
or as fine salt moistened and baked
into hard lump, without danger of
the pigeons eating too much. Salt
may also be fed mixed with grit,
charcoal, and oyster shell.
Pans of water should be provided
daily except during the winter and
placed in the yards of fyways. These
bath pans are usually filled in the
morning and emptied about noon.
They should be used only about twice
week during the winter, but should
then be kept on the floor of the house.
AS squads are reared and fed by
both of the parent birds on a thick
creamy mixture called pigeon milk,
produced in the crop of the pigeons,
it is essential that pigeons rearing
squads have a plentiful supply of
grain to insure rapid growth of the
young. Pigeons usually feed the
squads shortly after they themselves
are fed and should not be disturbed
at that time, thus making it advisable
to water them before they are fed
Care should always be taken not to
brighten or disturb pigeons or squads
any more than is absolutely nee
essary.
Information in detail concerning
SQUAD raising is given in the bulletin,
which may be had upon application

Publications.

Success Depends upon Special Ex-
perience, Business Ability, and a
Good Steady Market

The raising of squads both as a
regular business and as side line on
farms has become so general that the
department, to meet the needs of
practical advice on this subject, has
assigned one of its poultry special
lists to a study of this subject, and
also has obtained accurate data as TO
methods from % large breeders and
from a large number of those who
keep less than 800 pigeons. The
questions to which practical replies
were received covered all phases of
the subject, from breeds that produce
the best squads to the housing, feed
ing, and general care of the pigeons.
The results of Investigations and the
information supplied by breeders are
published in Farmers Bulletin No.
684, SQUAD Raising. The bulletin on
it's first page, however, contains a
strong caution which in substance is
that while an annual profit of $1.50
for a pair of breeders is considered
good, success in raising squads
calls for special experience, business
ability, and a good steady market. 1t
points out that many successful
pigeon farms make business of sell
ing breeding stock and are not pri-
marily interested in producing squads
for market To quote the author,
"there have been many failures on
squad plants, as the profits in this
business have frequently been greatly
overestimated and the care of stock
regarded as something very easy in
which anyone could succeed"
"Many people," the writer con-
tinues. "can keep pigeons successfully
as side issue, although this requires
constant oversight and careful atten-
ton to details. The greatest difficult
