GEORGE McM ADVOCATES
DARYne By OUR FARMERS
Prssldsnt Of mlmbrss Valley Social
and industrial Association Tells
'efaphlc Readers Now b Win IN
the lmpsrtant lndustry Of DaIFylN0

George W. McCann is one of our
successful farmers who has won out
on his own merits and good, hard,
we'll directed labor. lie is very much
in favor Of the dairy herd and is al
ways willing to give his practical cx-
rerience for the benefit Of others.
In a conversation with the Graphic
Monday, Mr.. McCan, expressed the
opinion that most any good dairy
breed is good for this section. II is
the individual cow that counts, and
success depends very much upon the
proper handling. When this is done
dairying will become one Of the most
up-huilding industries in this valley.
The farmer must study to feed his
COWS economically in order to get
best results, ard should endeavor to
grow most Of what he feeds. A small
portion Of cotton seed meal, or some
other feed Of high protein value, may
be used with profit.
The good feed that can he easily
grown here includes alfalfa. silage,
cane. and maize heads, which ought
to bc ground in order to get the hest
results. Cane aud maize can he
grown much cheaper than alfalfa
An average days ration for a COW
should be about rs follows:
Twenty pounds Of silage. five
pounds Of alfalfa, 0 pounds Of maize
heads, Ave pounds Of cane hay,
which will, all told amount to not over
lac, and should produce a to !
pound Of butter fat, sec per pound.
The skim milk Of an average cow
should be worth about Sc day and
the manure on the farm about ~ a
month. Thus an average cow, in
clndimg her calf Is worth about $3.50
,er month. The general care will
amount to about $l.50 per month.
leaving net profit Of $6.15 per
month, or *7s per year.
Feeding at home keeps all the fer
tility on the farm, and II is estimated
that ton Of alfalfa contains about
$40 worth Of fertility, while ton Of
butter fat that is sold Of the farm

According 10 my promise, ! now
hand you synopsis Of my trip to and
examination Of the San Miguel Com
bination.
A. you know, we left Deming on
the 14tl, at . u. m. by auto for the
mines, and we had most delight
fml drive, via HiIlsboro, over seem
L. mountain road 10 Albuquerque,
stopping over ni San Marcial for the
night, and arriving at Albuquerque
on the 18th. Actual driving time
from Dcming to Albuquerque "
hours. Here we met our mining en-
g;neer, an expert, and all proceeded
to the mines, leaving Albuquerque
ON the morning of the 18th and ar
riving at San Miguel camp, - miles,
that afternoon. We campea in n
lovely grove on the banks Of a benut-
ifuI mountain stream, just two miles
below the working of the San Miguel
mines. was morc than pleased
with the location, small clear, noun
tnin streams of water from the snow
capped high mountains to the north
a- pure as Dcming's "99.09." The
country surrounding the mines is
heavy timbercd, making il conven.
lent for mining timber>. and for
building purposes. | also found, in
great quantities. lime, iron. etc., for
flux, just as Col. Smitk represent
ed. We started in on The examina-
tion of the mines early in the morning
of the 18th. and put in 2 days Of the
hardest work ! have ever experienced.
We first examined the dumps aud tn.
old workings. a. far ~ il was pos
sihle to get at them. Then we trnced
the ore bearing strata for over 5000
feet due north and south, of the
works, and found very high-erade
ore ut several surface openings all
along the line. Our engineer is a
thorough mining man of long cxper-
ience. and is thoroughly familiar with
this particular formation---and his
report will show 80 per cent. better
than Col. Smiths statements, and you
know what they are. Well. To say
that | am enthuscd, puts il mildly.
Col. Smith surely knows how TO pick
the winners" when il comes TO So
lecting mine. We 90 from here to
Gallup. to meet some Of our as~oci-
ates. aud may 20 direct to Los Angel
e. from there to confer with others.
Expect to be back in Demine in ten
or twelve days at furthercst.

must take care of this matter for its

BILLIE'S ANGEL CAKE.

Margaret Miller was on the war
path in friendly but determined
way against her brother, William.
whom she always called Billie. He
lately, Margaret thought, and was de-
termined to get even with him.
William was taking an academic
course at the Glendale Institute One
of Bibles FRANKS was to write Mar
garet postal card written so close
mat 1t really looked like a Chinese
puzzle. After she received this she
sat down and had Council of war"
with herself At last she thought OF
plan with which to get even with
Billie.
Either her or mother had been send
ing him box filled with cake and
other things that only homefolks know
how to make, Her plan was this: to
make cornbread cake about the size
of plain pound cake, cover il with
icing and send 1t to him.
Margaret cooked. packed and mailed
II to Billie. Well, about n week after.
she received a letter from Billie. and
this is part of it:
Dear Margaret:
Il will have to acknowledge that T
nave been defeated. Your angel cake
arrived the other day. was so pleased
with getting something from home
mat asked Jack Conrad, one of nv
friends up here. to come over to NV
room that night and we would try
the cake. Well, he came over about
8 o'clock. I took the paper off and cut
INTO 1t. The icing cut fairly well, but
when 1 reached the inside Of that am
broseal stuff. did some kind of apolo-
SiZing, because ! thought il had been
failure BY this time l had cut
shce Tor myself. I bit into it and
smelled rat" I looked at Jack: he
was trying his best to be polite and
eat 1t. / realized you had played n
Joke on me and could not keep from
laughing. He. then, too. realized it
was joke. and soon had it out OF his
mouth. Knowing that I have been
defeated, ! would like to negotiate for
peace. But don't you think that the
rest or the cake was wasted,
When Jack left l told him to tell
DICK FORD to come over and he came
pretty quick. I managed to hold
straight face while 'hewed' out
piece for Dick. He took il and re-
marked. Tt is simply fine Funny isn't
1t. that fellow will tell lie and
know he's lying just to be polite He
was trying TO swallow some of IL when
! let him on to the secret We had a
big time about it, and he asked me
to send Bob Burton n slice Well
did, and next day l saw Fob and asked
him how he liked the cake. He said.
too. that it was fine. You didn't eat
it, / asked. lie saw IL was a joke,
and confessed that he took one bite.
but lie says he ate the icing. lie SAYS
next time you send that particular kind
of cake to please send the icing and
cake separate"
When Margaret finished reading Bill
lies letter she was bubbling over with
JOY because her cake had really been
IA success. For once In my Iife," she
said. IL got ahead OF Billie"
