SAFFORD'S THE PLACE

Stafford is in the competition for
the State capital. The town has
lately acquired the county seat of
Graham. The next thing we know,
it will aspire to become the location
of seat of the national government.
There is not room within the city
limits for all the public buildings it
would acquire, but we suppose the
corporation could be expanded

Stafford certainly will be a candi-
date for the State capital, if the
proposition to remove the capital
from Phoenix is to go before the
people at an election, and the peo.
pie of Stafford believe that their
town is just the place for it. The
people of Stafford also realize that
to live in this delightful town makes

Uncle Sam wants a better town for
the national capital, Stafford will be
a candidate, and as for room fol
public buildings, we have plenty OF

USING SERUMS

The use of Serums has of late be-
come very common, says HOard's
Dairyman. When used properly
they are effective in curing and pre-
venting diseases, and when improper
ly used the results are likely to be
quite as fatal as the disease which
they would cure or prevent. Serums
must be prepared with the utmost
care and technical skill and admin
istered by persons who have been
trained to do such work The lay
man who does not understand the
sterilization of instruments used to
administer serums or how to sterilize
the skin of the animals where the
injection is made is doing a foolish
thing to attempt to use serums Of
any kind, valuable as they are to
the live stock interests of this coun-
try.
1t is far safer to employ some
qualified veterinarian to administer
serums when there is an outbreak
of disease which iscured or prevented
by the use of serums. Where there
are outbreaks of hog cholera it pays
the farmer well to have his hogs
vaccinated by the use of serum. He
should look upon the cost of having
this work done as insurance.
A loss is sustained every year by
breeders of dairy cattle. through
white scours. This disease attacks
new born calves when only few
hours old and is fatal in most cases
unless treated with POlyvalent Calf
Cholera Serum. There are many
other diseases of farm animals, which
can be cured by the use of serums
properly prepared and administered
by persons who thoroughly under
stand the art of sterilization. The
layman had best leave the applica-
ton of serums to those who know
how to handle them.

ARE YOU A MUD-HOLE
DAIRYMAN

The dairy COW which is now of
considerable importance in the Salt
River, Yuma and Gila valleys, and
for which there is a constant grow
ing demand, should have special at
tention for the next four months.
In the past there has not been suf-
ficient attention paid to the sur
roundings required in order to Sc
cure the maximum production of
milk, states Prof. G. w. Barnes,
Livestock Specialist of the U. of A.
Agricultural Experiment Station.
The cows have been compelled
day after day to drink from a con
taminated mud.hol until they have
been robbed of their vitality, health
and of the food necessary for milk
production. The result has been a
decrease in milk flow. For the
dairy cow to produce milk requires
large quantities of pure drinking
water, and she cannot secure this
when she is compelled to drink from
some filthy mud-hole. Remember
that milk production and pure water
go hand in hand; if you do not have
this on your place. do not waste
your time by wondering why your
neighbor across the road has an
average yield of milk per cow of
6,00n pounds per year, while on
your farm the yield is only 5000
pounds per head.
The man who makes a success in
dairying, as in other industries. is
the one that keeps his machinery in
first-class condition. Did you ever
stop and wonder why it costs one
man about six times as much tC
produce milk as his neighbOr? But
there is nothing remarkable about
this difference in cost, when we con
slider the difference in judgment, ex
ecutive ability and kind of cows
used. Obsolete methods combined
with the mud hole would increase
the cost of production from the best
cows on earth.

But what do you DO to relieve

fact that the work would be wholly

required by the Indian Department
before Lieutenant Ernest Stecker,
Superintendent of San Carlos Reser-
walton, could proceed with the con-
struction work. 1t is expected, he
explained, that the people of Ora
ham county will do their share to-
wards advancing this security, but
the judge pledged the residents of
Globe district to take the initiative
and see that that part of the agree
ment is fulfilled.
Commissioner Sells seemed i'm.

there should be no unnecessary de-
lays. He stipulated that the bono

and other suitable waters heretofore
devoid of fish. The big gamy rain
bows are to be used in these lakes,
while the native black-spotted trout
are to be used in planting streams.

ASPHALT-BASE OILS MAKE
BEST LUBRICANTS

Lieutenant G. S. Bryan, of the
Naval Engineering Experiment Sta
ton, Annapolis, Md, in paper
published in the Journal of the
American Society of Naval Engi-
neers for February, 1915, says:
Oils made from asphalt-base
crudes have shown themselves to be
much better adapated to motor cyl
inders, as far as their carbon-form-
ing proclivities are concerned, than
are the paratfine- base Pennsylvania
oils. The carbon formed from the
latter is, as a rule, extremely hard
and ciings to the metal surfaces,
while that from the former is soft
and can easily be wiped off any sur
face that it is deposited on. This
would be expected from a consider
alton of the nature of the hydro
carbons composing the oil, and it
has also deem demonstrated in prac-
tice.
The explanation lies in the fact
that the paratine base oils are gen
orally composed of the paraffine
series of hydrocarbons, while the
asphalt-base oils are composed main
" of the ethylene and napthene
series. One of the characteristics
of the latter two series, as com
pared with the parafine series, is
their tendency to distill without de-
composition. Consequently, no gum
will be formed on the cylinder walls,
and the carbon liberated will be
mostly discharged with the exhaust
gases"

POOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES

1t seems to be the misfortune OF
several school districts in this county
to have trustees who lack ordinary
business ability in the care of the
financial affairs of their schools. No
economy in conducting the schools
is practiced, nor does there seem to
be any intention on the part OF
some of them to get next to their
duties as trustees and follow the
advice of the county school super
intendent.
There is no good reason for any
school district to get behind several
years in the payment of teachers
salaries and other debts necessarily
incurred during the school year,
but such is the case in several dis
tricts, Notwithstanding the instruc-
tions given by the county school su-
perintendent to include in the esti-
mate of the amount of funds needed
for the ensuing year, the amount
of back Indebtedness.
School trustees who do not ad-
minister the affairs of their schools
in a business-like manner should be
suspended from office. A school
trustee who draws an order in pay
ment of bill when he knows there
are no funds TO the credit Of his
district, should be treated in the
same manner as one who draws
checks on bank where he has no
funds. There is really no differ
ence.
1t is just as necessary to conduct
the affairs of a school district on
honest business lines as it is in any
line of business, and there is no eX'
cuse for school trustees to have q
deficit year after year, when they
could prevent this by including back
Indebtedness in their estimates, as
advised by the county school super
intendent.
1t may yet be necessary to bring
action in the courts against schoo
trustees who create Indebtedness
are careless and do not exercise
economy in the administration OF
school affairs.
