HERDS Of PURE BRED
CATTLE TO Be LISTED

ment in Establishing Accred.
tied List.

The state department of agricul-
Iture, DR.. H. T. Graves. acting COM
missioner, will cooperate with the
United States department of agricul-
ture, bureau of animal industry, in
establishing accredited herds Of pure
bred cattle throughout Washington.
A. D. Melvin, chief of the United
States bureau, has arranged to exam
inc for tuberculosis the herd of any
owner of pure bred stock who SO de-
sires. A clean bill of health will be
given by state and government
wherever no disease is found or where
disease found is eliminated, and such
herds will be known as accredited
herds.
A complete list of accredited herds
in Washington and other states will
be kept on file for the information of
the breeders or the public. new lists
being published at regular intervals
after the periodical tests. The idea is
to facilitate purchase of healthy
cattle.
"A breeder in the future will not
have to take the word of a person in
another state or this state that when
he is purchasing cattle he is doing so
from a healthy herd, and he will not
have to guess at it. He simply will
consult the accredited list" says DR..
Graves.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD
FOR FARM WOMEN
STATES AND NATION BEGIN TO
HELP HER. TOO. IN HER
WORK AT HOME.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The woman
on the farm is gradually coming into
her own, for, under the Smith-Lever
law, a great deal of careful study is
being given the question of home eco
nomics as applied to farm homes, and
state agricultural college directors
are being urged by women's organi-
cations in all parts of the country to
secure the allotment of a certain spe-
cific portion of the Smith-Lever funds
for work with women on the farms.
Officials of the department of agri-
culture have taken the question up,
and are doing what they can to help
determine what is to be done along
this line. The controversy has arisen
because the law while providing for
extension work in agriculture and
home economies, does not specify what
proportion of the funds are to be
used in home economics.
1t is interesting. in the light of the
attention now being given the ques-
ton, to note the amount Of money
actually being put into this work by
the agricultural colleges. for the most
part in cooperation with the federal
government. The official figures are
az follows for the 33 northern and
western states:
Work Now Being Done.
/. For meetings and movable
schools at which demonstrations are
given in cooking, sewing, household
conveniences, and for the organiza-
ton of women's clubs to study home
economics, $s1,555.
2. For canning clubs to teach
girls and women how to prevent
many OF the wastes OF the farm oy
canning and preserving fruits. vege-
tables and meats by cheap and rapid
commercial processes. $56,197.
3. For county agents who help
farmers and their wives to increase
the net income of the farm, and thus
make possible the introduction OF
labor-saving conveniences and other
improvements into the home, $l'o27''
312.
It is seen from the foregoing tha'
there is being spent total OF $lS7''
752 directly, and Of $1,o27,Sl2 1ndi'
rectly, on lines OF work Affecting the
farmhouse. The former amount Is
equal to AZ per cent OF the smith
Lever fund available this year for
extension work in the 33 northern
and western states; while the latter

Southern Pacific May
Build Spur

Grade stakes we're laid this week by
civil engineers in the employ OF the
Southern Pacific railroad, from a
point about a mile west Of this city
to the S5 Mine, and spur may be
built In the near future by the S. p.
Company Officials OF the 50 Mining
Company declare that as vet nothing
definite has been done and the grad
ing and laying of track is pending.
This Is the 'steenth time grades
have been made, right OF ways filed
upon, intentions made and bluffs at
building a spur to the Shakespeare
district have reached. the ears OF the
people. There is no doubt but that
a spur to the mines is needed The
S5 Mine alone is OF capacity sutii-
Client to warrant the construction of
a spur and there are mines in the dis
trict that could be operated with less
ened transportation costs. The con-
structlon of spur would be great
thing and It is generally hoped that
the A. g. N. NJ. or the Souther Pacific
will see the improvement material
ized.
LATER: Engineers OF the A. g. N.
NJ. have arrived on the scene OF ac.
tion and 1t is understood they will
also drive stakes for right-Of-way.

MINES and MINING.
". F. Ritter Resigns as
Mine Manager

w. r. Ritter, who since July 1st,
1913 has been General Manager Of the
50 Mine, rendered his resignation 10
the directors Of the company Thurs
day afternoon. Owing to his many
other heavy business responsibilities
he could not devote the time needed to
care for both them and the mine so
decided to leave the 50 Mine the first
OF April. His successor will be A j. In
teriedden, who was for years ASSOCIATE
ed with Messrs. A. p. and Q. II.
Warner In their New York Office and
who has resided at the mine for some
time past.
Since Mr.. Ritter has been manager
OF the So Mine 1t has developed from
a good prospect into one OF she best
paying mines In New Mexico, one of
the most modern power plants in the
Southwest has been erected, two
transportation adits driven, general
development work done, and excellent
ore contracts made with the smelters.
He has been a success and we'll liked
by all his men. In the retirment OF
Mr.. Ritter The IS Mining Company,
loses a valuable man and one TO whom
much Of the success of the company
is to be attributed.
Mr.. RitteI's successor, A. j. Inter
riedden, is a business man OF ability
and will doubtless be very sU Uccessfnl
in his new undertaking. He is we'll
acquainted with the mine and Is lik-
ed by the employees. Mr.. Interried-
den's past record is sufficient assurr
ance that he will keep up the high
efficiency and make a very capable
executive for the second largest pro
ducing mine in the State.
