My route east was over the Sunset Line to Fl Paso and through the South with a de- tour via Phoenix and the Apache Trail" to Roosevelt Dam and the copper cities of Miami and Globe. This auto trip of l2O miles, embracing the Salt River and Gila val Ileys, as well as Roosevelt Lake and Dam, is absolutely unique and without parallel in the United States.
 Two thousand travellers nave availed themselves dur ing the past summer of the opportunity of taking this soon-to-be famous auto trip. The United States Fish Com mission are making further distribution of bass in this Roosevelt Lake, now body of water averaging mile in width and thirty miles in it's length, where the fishing is already excellent and the ne- sessary facilities provided,
 Raymond & Whitcomb, the Boston tourist agents, told meehat their trans-con- tinental parties coming west this winter will be routed via rhe Apache Trail" where the traveller can see Indians to his hearts content as well as the deserted homes of the ancient cliff dwellers.
 Conditions in the South appear to be steadily improv- ng. Cotton prices are very gradually growing better, but the most hopeful sign is in the evidence that the one crop plan will soon be thrown into the discard. The severe lesson of the past year or two has not been in vain as evidenced in many sections of the South. Cotton may remain king for years to come but his subjects will be liar more cosmopolitan than ever known before south of the Mason & Dixon line, all of which will spell a steadier and more rapidly growing prosperity.
 Business conditions in the CentAl and Eastern states are certainly far bet ter than when 1 was in the East last May. At that time there dld not seem to De Q silver lining to any of the big clouds that shut out the view | in all directions.

NEAR BEER is QUITE so

There always have been definitions of the word bee, but the official definition in Arizona now is that written by the Supreme Court of the state, in it's recent decision i'll the Barette case, taken up from Cochise county by L. A. Brown. The court says that Barette is a fermented malt liquor, hence beer, and is barred under the prohibition amendment to the conStitu- ton.
 It is stated that the brew master in his testimony ad- mitted that Barette was a form of beer and that it diff 'ers principally from the stronger grades of malt iquor in that the process of fermentation is arrested in the earlier stages in order to keep down the-percentage of alcohol. Near beers, in gen. eral, if their manufacture is based on malt fermentation, are, what has long been known as small beer," which Webster says is nothing other than weak beer.
 The incentive of the manu- facturers in appealing this case from the CochiSe superi- pr court was a commercial one. They wished to fill a definite want. A profitable and thirsty market stood ready. There was no market for near beer in this state as long as real beer was obtain able. It is even true that the near heerS were invented in the neighborly state of Cali fornia for the particular bene- fit of Arizona. It must be clear, then, that it is former beer and whiskey drinkers who will go thirsty as a result of the decision of the Su- preme Court and no other persons.
 Our sympathy goes out to this class. It was hard for them, even though beneficial, to have their favorite bars closed. There remained the consolation of near beer. It was a hollow joy, it is true, but it was better than mo- thing. But, now that cup is struck from their hands.
 It always amaZeS us that courts can read the intentions of the framers of laws with such refinement as they some times do. It is our suspicion that the framers do not al- ways know what they meant themselves, or never gave a thought to it, and would be as much surprised at the sub- tlery credited to them by the courts as Shakespeare would be at some of his commenta- tors.
 In this instance, however, it is safe to say that the strict CT the interpretation, the more readily c. F. Rinehart will confirm that that IS just what he meant. From the standpoint of the county at torneys charged with prose cutting offenders under this law, there is wisdom in the decision. If a small percent age of alcohol were permit ted in beverages, the task ot the authorities would be made that much more difficult by having to watch the percent age. Different shipments ot

The Yuma city council at it's meet ing last night gave first reading to an ordinance prepared by City Attorney Wupperman, opening the way to bor- row $38,10O to pay all old debts of the city and put the municipality on . cash basis.
 The proposed bonds will run fifteen years They will be issued in three series of $500 each, at 6 per cent in- terest, payable semi-annually. The first payment on the principal will come in 1920, $1O,OOO; second, in 1925. SIP, 300; and third in 130, 16.O0O. Ac- cording to the figures presented by the city attorney, it means, on the ba- sis of the present assessment of city property, that these. bonds, including interest, will increase the tax rate each year but 20 cents on each s100 valuation.
 The present indebtedness of the city which is to be liquidated by this loan is as follows:

AMERICAN POSSESSIONS
 LITTLE KNOWN BY US

Few travellers are familiar with the island of Molokai, the fifth in size of the Hawaiian Islands, and to them probably the name signifies little ex- cept as that of a United States leper settlement. In the more inaccessible parts of the island, however, the scenery is wonderful, and there are many interesting facts to be learned about this small island which was formed in the Pacific Ocean by two volcanos.
 Practically the whole southern coast of Molokai is fringed by a coral reef from half mile to mile wide. The parts of this reef that lie near the main gulches are gradually being fill ed with mud, and thus the island is slowly growing out southward. The soil is nearly everywhere fertile, but the problem of obtaining water has not yet been solved and the land is not put to its greatest use. Sugar cane, coconuts, coffee, oranges, and rice are grown. Luxuriant algaroba trees Ga variety of mesquite) furnish excellent firewood, and the fiber of the lahale trees is used for the manufac- ture of hats. The pasture lands are covered with thick carpet of man. ania Ga variety of Bermuda grass) or with delicate tufted Pele grass up to an elevation of about 500 feet on the west end of the island.
 On the northern coast of Molokai, west of the rocky peninsula that ex- tends seaward from the foot of a great precipice, there is prosperous looking town with regular streets and white cottages. Many of the houses are surrounded by bright green gar dens, and several churches and larger buildings may be seen. The leper set clement, established in 1885, embraces 5000 acres and within its borders live about 1000 unfortunates, isolated by the great precipice over which steep and somewhat dangerous trail leads to the town.
 To those who wish to know more about this island copy of Water Supply Paper 77 will be furnished free on application to the Director, U. s. Geological Survey, Washington, D, c.

may be avoided first. in the case of
small farms, by stacking, or second,
by threshing with a small machine.
Machines for threshing are now on the
market that may be obtained at a cost
Of not more than $45O.OO. They will
thresh, say, 500 bushels a day. They
al be run with but a few hands, prob
ably not more, in some instances, than
half a dozen. Two or three farmers
could run such a machine. They could
we'll afford to own it and also to own
the power to run it, which need not
be more than, say, 8 to 10 horse power.
In this way but little of the crop need
be lost.
That is n way Of saving the crop,
but there is another and a better way.
1t is to get much of the land put into
alfalfa, and to lay a considerable pro-
portion of it down to suitable mixed
pastures of comparatively short dura-
ton. A considerable area should be
put into corn to be hogged off or
eaten down by sheep.
Some corn also should be grown for
the silo, in fact a goodly acreage every
year. In this way the acreage of the
wheat will be cut in two so that not
more than half the harvesting and
threshing would be called for. But il
may be asked, would not the revenue
be cut in two also? l answer, EN-.
phatically, no. The evenue from ths
live stock in such an instance woui:

grain, which is always hazardous.

VALUE OF ALFALFA FOR STOCK

The following conclusions are based
on the results of tests in feeding baby
beef, made by the Nebraska Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Lincoln,
Nebraska, and published in Bulletin
No. 143:
1. The ration composed Of alfalfa
hay, corn silage and corn gave the
largest gain, the cheapest gain and
most profit of any ration used.
2. If, silage is valued at $3.50 per
ton, the profit from the ration of
alfalfa hay and corr would be about
the same as the profit from the ra-
ton of alfalfa hay, silage and corn.
8. The two rations containing al
falfa gave larger and cheaper gains
and much more profit than any of the
rations not containing alfalfa.
4. The two rations containing cot
ton seed cake gave about the same
rate and cost of gains, but gave a
much smaller profit than the rations
containing alfalfa.
5. The ration composed of prairie
hay, cotton seed cake and orr gave
the same average rate of gain and
about the same cost Of gains as the
ration composed of prairie hay, cotton
seed cake, corn and silage. The rel
ative profits from these two rations
| depend on the price charged for silage
and the relative selling prices of the
two lots of calves. The results Of
these two tests indicate that silage as
fed herein was not worth the value
usually given it.
G.. The ration containing neither
i alfalfa nor cotton seed cake nor any
other feed having a high protein con-
tent gave much the slowest and most
expensive gain and the least profit OF
any ration.
7. When silage is fed with alfalfa,
the silage was worth much more than
when it was fed with prairie hay and
cotton seed cake.
8. Cotton seed cake was profitable
when added to a ration of prairie hay
corn and silage.
8, Cotton seed cake was not g
profitable substitute for alfalfa.
10. The ration Of prairie hay, corr
and silage gave only one-third as
much profit as the ration of alfalfa
hay, corn and silage.
II. The rations containing cottor
seed cake gave only two-thirds a:
much profit as the rations containing
alfalfa.
IL. The results of this experiment
again emphasize the high value o.
alfalfa in a cattle-fattening ration.

without horns.
The Jersey is a fawnish-looking
critter with streamline body.
The male Jersey COW has a temper
ament like a eros between tabasco
and muriatic acid.
In our youth we used to try to
drive, under yoke, a Jersey bull.
He was black, with a towny line
down his spine, and a mealy nose.
That bull had a disposition like
Champ Clark's since the Baltimore
episode.
We worked him along with a brin-
die steer of phlegmatic, standpat dis
position.
And the way those two got along
reminded one of the political harmony
that prevails just after a party has
got into power after a long fast.
If it were not for cows we would
practically have no calves at all.
The calves need the cows for moth
ers.
It was once our job to teach the
young and inexperienced cow who had
never been a mother how to stand
and be MIXED.
Many a time we have been buffeted
in the expression by the cloven hoof
of such young and giddy cowlets.
And when a cow of any age gets
ready to kick one in the smile, she
does not stop to disinfect, or even
wipe off her hoof.

SMALL THRESHING MACHINES
(By Prof. Thomas Shawl

The year 1912 has been repeated
again. There has been a bumper crop
in all the northwestern states. This
crop in the Dakotas and Montana has
been phenomenal. No sooner, how
ever, was the crop reaped and put in
shock or at least soon after, the rains
began. The outcome has been that
threshing was greatly delayed. Ex-
pensive threshing outfits were idle in
some instances for two weeks at a
time. The threshing crews had to be
kept in line meantime. The farmers
were kept virtually idle and also the
horses, when both should have been
busy turning over the ground for the
next years crop. This they could not
do, although the ground was nicely
moistened with the rain, for the
shocks which might have been in the
stack were yet in the field.
It is peculiarly unfortunate when
such 4 condition meets the farmers Of
the Northwest. In 1912 the farmers
lost heavily Or 1t least very many OF
them did, because Of the rainy wealth
or after harvest, while the proceeds
Of that crop helped many it did not
help them nearly as much as if they
had saved it all. Now in 1915 there is
another grand crop, but it is much
damaged by rain. This e a less
ened value in proportion to the dam
age done. This year again the crop
will not mean to these states what it
ought to mean. It does not mean to
them what it would have meant had
the grain been stacked or threshed be-
fore the bad weather came on.
Many will answer stacking was i'm
possible owing to the scarcity OF Ia
Dor. In some instances it was i'm
possible to stack it all, but a part
could have been stacked. In other In
stances and these are greatly in the
majority, it was possible. 1t is no,
because of the impossibi.ity Of stack
ing that so much grain was left un'
stacked, it was because the farmers
felt that it called for less work tt
thresh from the shock. Because Of
this belief, which of course is vel
! founded, they preferred to take tn
risk.
Can this risk be avoided? Assured
