POSTMASTERS

Over Half Hundred Arizona Postal Heads Assemble for Convention Here and Hear Talk by Congress man Hayden and Others

About fifty five postmasters, includ- ing ten women. from various parts of
 the state of Arizona, gathered in the city of Phoenix yesterday on a com

 the business end of the matter being
 the ninth annual convention of Ari-
 zona postmasters, and the pleasure
 part of the journey being the state fair, now in progress. The conven- tion opened yesterday morning in the
 Federal building, and was one of the most enthusiastic and helpful gather

 The opening address was made by Postmaster w. T. Wright of Globe, who is president of the association, and following this Congressman Carl Hayden took the floor and delivered an address which was highly cOmpn- mentary to the postmasters of the state. He said that the standard of the postal service in Arizona was never better than it was at the pre ent time a fact which was attested ,o by the records of the departmen. at Washington. He also told his hearers that in his mind there was little chance of the proposed bill for the pensioning of retired postmasters and civil service employees being passed, by the coming congress at least This was because, he said the demands made on congress by the old soldiers and sailors for pensions was so great that there was littre

News - what is news? A Sculp-

exactly the stuff that tickles the

other picture of the man they
were written to, and two columns
of "Oh-Oh" and "Lookee-here-they-

HORNS NOT NEEDED
BY DAIRY ANIMALS
Best and Least Cruel Method Of
Removal Is by Use Of
Caustic Potash.

(By A. B. NYsTRoM. Washington Elk
pertinent Station.) .,...
Except in the case of cattle that are
to be used for exhibition purposes all
dairy animals should be dehorned. In
the wild state cattle needed horns for
protection, but in the present state of
domestication horns serve no useful
purpose and are source of consider.

On the adult animal the horns may
be removed by the use of the saw or
clipper. In either case the cut should
be close enough to the head to leave
a ring of hair on the part that is re-
moved, otherwise there is likely to be
a stubby growth of horn appear in the
course of year or two.
The best and least cruel method of
removing horns is by means of an ap.
plication of caustic potash to the horn
buttons while the calf is from one to
four days old. The hair is carefully
clipped from the button and the
moistened end of a stick Of caustic
potash is then rubbed on the spot un-
til the skin bleeds slightly. Care
should be taken to prevent the liquid
caustic from running of the button,
but If only small amount is rubbed
on there will be no danger from this

JoURNEYINGs OF HOUSE FLY
Household Pests, It ls Found, Seldom
Travel Far From the Breeding
Ground.

DR.. ]. T. Nash, an English physi-
clan. who has devoted much attention
to the spread of disease by flies, finds
that the common house fly does not
readily leave house in which it finds
protection, warmth and food. Such
houses situated near places where
flies breed-where garbage is depos-
tied, or refuse from stables is kept un-
duly long-suffer from a plague of
flies not found in houses in the next
street farther away.
These nearer houses effect cons!d-
cradle arrestment of the spread Of
flies. In these infested houses, al
though fly-paper may kill hundreds,
just as many flies are found "a hours
later if the windows are left open
and the weather is warm.
When flies are numerous, they de-
crease in numbers in different houses,
in inverse ratio to the distance from
the breeding grounds. Flies fly far
Their when places of arrestment, in the
shape of houses, are few or far of.
Where houses are few, more flies
will be found than where houses are
many. Where houses are numerous,
few flies will travel more than q
quarter of a mile.

T. RHINE is for those who may in.
Il dulge in Injuries and buy other
furs for real utility. Not that the roy
al fur is not durable enough, but be-
cause its creamy wilderness makes it
impractical for the workaday world
1t is fur for occasional wear and,
since it will last for long time,
should be selected in shapes of muffs
and neckpieces that are always in
style. The rather large flat huff and
the plain straight scarf are never
passe, and therefore the safest choice,
in the richest furs.
Narrow boas of ermine and small
neckpieces are really more chic than
any other finish to the pretty midwin-
ter promenade or visiting toilette.
Muffs, whether made to wear with
large or small scarfs and neckpieces,
are usually rather large. But ermine
is one of those splendid things that
look best when sparingly used. Like
diamonds that are too large, and
rich lace recklessly used, as if it were
of little account, something is lost of
the best effects when ermine is made

KEEP THE STABLES
CLEAN IN WINTER
Do Not Allow Manure to Accu.
muIate, but Spread It on
Land at Once.

These pleasant days Of winter when
there is little to do is a good time to
look at the stable and yard to see If
manure has not begun to accumulate,
and If any is found there is no better
time than the present to scatter it out
over the land. If any land is left to
be plowed in the spring this land will
be especially benefited by having the
manure spread as soon as possible.
Later on, as the manure begins to
pile up more and all the other land
has been covered, it would be a good
thing to remember the lucern patch
by giving 1t a good coat of this very
fine plant food. In hauling the ma.
nure, by all means do not leave 1t in
little piles over the field but spread
It out at once.

Ones Weakest Point.

The character Of the individual

ness. The citadel is never attacked
by the enemy at its impregnable
points. The assault is bent against
the weak places in the foundation or
where the workmanship of the walls
is defective. Men may stand firm for
years, simply because the opportunity
that appeals to their selfishness or
their wrong tendencies has not come
to them. But when the evil habit

Take half day to examine and
trim up your colts feet. Many young
horses are injured by letting their
feet grow wild.
Rasp the rough edges, and in case
of sand or quarter cracks rasp at the
top of the crack deep enough to stop
it, and then trim down the edges.
Sometimes it is best to have the
blacksmith put light shoe on.
Don't neglect a sand or quarter
crack that may lead to serious injury
later on.
While it may pay any farmer to buy
heavy work horses it will pay him still
better to breed them on his own farm
Use big draft mares for farm work
and sell the geldings to swell the
bank account or make substantial pay
ment on the mortgage.
The larger the geldings grow the
more money they will bring. The
more feed they get, as a general prop
osition, the larger they grow.
The tillage, the crops and the in
come from the farm are all more or
less dependent upon the economical
management Of the work teams.
Attention to feeding, with respect
to the feed itself and to the method,
will reduce the cost of horsepower re.
quired to do the farm work.
An attractive opportunity awaits
farmers who undertake the production
of high-class commercial mules, and
it is certain that many farmers will
grasp the opportunity within the next
few years.
Whether brood mares or geldings, it
is the well-fed horse that exhibits the
greatest endurance and efficiency in
the harness.
All kinds of breeding stock require
good shelter-that is, dry, clean, COM
Portable and SO constructed that there
will always be an abundance of pure
air without exposing the animals to
cold drafts,
Brood sows and breeding ewes re-
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best If separated in punches, so as
to prevent crowding and fighting at
the trough and feed racks.
Pregnant animals should not be
kept with other animals, where they
will be compelled to fight their own
way for place to eat and drink, as
they are more subject to injury, and
violent exercise is quite apt to cause
serious trouble.
Exercise is an important essential
in the winter management of all kinds
of breeding animals, and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and in as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make a prac-
tice of feeding their brood sows at
quite a distance from their sleeping
quarters, in order to induce them to
exercise freely, and have found this
an excellent plan, for many sows be-
come sluggish during pregnancy and
will not exercise unless compelled to.
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1915-01-22

Exercise is not only beneficial to the
muscular and maternal development
of breeding sows, but it prevents con-
stipation, which is one of the most
serious problems we have to contend
with, if our sows are in good flesh
condition.
Breeding bulls. boars, rams and
stations should have plenty of fresh
air, light and exercise during the win
ter. Our animals cannot develop good
hone, muscle, constitution, etc., If they
ere compelled to spend the winter in
the dark, filthy, poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to exer-
else during the favorable weather.
The grain ration of breeding ami
mails had best be made up largely Of
his homegrown grain foods, such as
corn, oats, barley and peas, supple
mented by such purchased foods as
wheat bran, middlings and linseed
oil meal.
Care should be exercised to avoid
feeding too much heat-producing
foods, but we should strive to main
tain the breeding animals in good,
vigorous flesh.forming condition, by
feeding them a ration made up Of
clean, wholesome blood. bone and
muscle forming foods.
Glover, alfalfa and mixed hay cut
early and cured properly, are the best
kinds of roughage for breeding ami
mails of all kinds during the winter.
We must not forget the brood saws
when feeding clover and alfalfa hay,
as these folders will afford bulk,
which is so essential in maintaining
them in a healthy, vigorous, flesh
forming condition.
The mechanical condition of the
feeds may be greatly improved by rum
ming Though cutting box and steam
ing and mixing with wheat bran, mid
dlings and other mill feeds before it
is fed to the brood sows.
All breeding animals should have an
abundance Of succulent foods during
the winter, and these may be pro-
vided by laying in a supply of corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows, roots, vegetables and waste
fruits arc the best form of Succulence,
and it will pay every farmer to raise
crop of roots to feed his breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writer's advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage, but I am
not in favor of this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ehsilage to hogs.
For breeding ewes, roots and vege-
tables are the best kind of succulent
foods, although corn ensilage may be
used. with fairly good results. In
feeding corn ensilage to breeding
ewes better results will come from
feeding it once a day and allowing
for each eve two to four pounds at
feed. Ensilage is not good food
for brood mares and great care should
be exercised in feeding it il any is
fed to them.
