COPPER AGAIN
TAKES JUMP

1t was reported from the east
last week that copper had been
marked up to 80 cts. pound. On
Thursday the price was "a 3-4
cents, and Salt Lake operators did
not credit such sudden jump.
A more conservative statement
from New York in the afternoon
said that an unprecedented de-
fnand for copper metal from for
eign and domestic sources result
ed today in an advance in the quo
tation from "a "a to Is IA cents
for delivery in the second quarter
of the year. A price of d cents
a pound was reported to have
been offered for March delivery
and rumors were current that 80
cents was bid for delivery in Feb
ruary which, however, could not
be confirmed.
/ Not since March, 1907, when
the metal stood at rs. IL cents a
pound for short period has cop
per been so high
The market has been bare of
available supplies for almost three
months. All the leading produc-
ers are booked to the extent Of
their output well into the last half
of the year, and it is freely pre-
dicted that the demand will in
crease. .. -.
Several of the agents of COM
panies producing the finer grade
of copper have virtually
Withdrawn from the market and
are not quoting prices at all.

ending January 20 were 4540 tons !;

TUNGSTEN SHIPPED !
FROM SODAv|[LE

C. E. Noble, the discoverer of
the tungsten deposits near Soda
vile, was consulted last Wednes-
day. Mr.. Noble says that the
property being operated by At
kins & Kroll, IL miles from Soda
vile, is continuing a steady pro-
duction of 20 tons of ore daily,
that being the capacity of the con-
centrating plant near Luning
where the product is treated.
From 40 to 50 men are employed
there. iR 3R G,aat
The deposits close to Sodaville,
owned by Mr.. Noble present met
allurgical problems which are baf-
fling the owners. A ledge from
three to FIVE feet in width which
contains over two per cent tung-
stem has opened up for 1900 feet
in length, but owing to the charac-
ter of the ore, it cannot be concen-
trated, and no practical method
of treatment has been devised.
However. Mr.. Noble is confident
that he will soon devise process,
and when this is accomplished he
will undoubtedly have one of the
biggest tungsten propositions in
the State. Bulletin. Nt~ ''

DIR. LOCKETT.

Many inquiries have been re-
ceived by the Extension Division
relative to the best method for
measuring hay in the stack for
tonnage. The volume of stack
will vary somewhat according to
the length of time the hay has
been stacked, the kind and quality
of hay, and the character of the
stack. With alfalfa hay that has
been stacked for 30 days it is us
ual to compute an SIT. cube, or
5l2 cubic feet as ton. When the
hay has been stacked FIVE or six
months usually a 7 l-2 #. cube, or
422 cubic feet is calculated as a
ton. In old fully settled stacks
of grass hay it is usual to allow
a 7 #. cube or 343 cubic feet for
a ton; or sometimes in very large
stacks only 2l6 cubic feet, or a
6 #. cube, is allowed per ton.
The volume of a NOW is readily
secured by multiplying together
the length, width and height.
There are different methods for
measuring hay in the stack de-
pending upon the shape of the
stack and also upon its size, With
a long stack the usual method is
to add the width of the stack to
THE overthrow in feet; divide this
sum by 4 (Which gives one side OF
the square>, multiply the quotient
by itself, and this product by the
length. of-the- stack in feet. This
will give the number of cubic feet
in the stack,
For small low stacks the rule is

Dairy Herd Records in Nevada

Dairy Herd Records in Nevada
| Keeping of dairy herd records
is new thing in this State. About
80 farmers have taken up the
work in one way or another. In
some cases the milk is weighed
daily and tested weekly or month
ly. In other cases both weighing
and testing is done one day in
! each month. In some cases the
weighing is done once a month
and the testing once in three
months. In the Carson Valley a
group of rs farmers employed a
man who weighs and tests the
milk one day in each month for
each herd and keeps record Of
the production of each COW. From
these various sources some inter-
esting data has been compiled.
Durng the six months reported
up to October, 1915, an average
of 80 cows did not pay for feed
and labor; 1873 broke even; $40
raid fair profit and 100 paid a
net profit of over 5000 month
During April, 3 cows produced
over 90 pounds of butterfat eacn
|ip May FIVE cows produced over
go pounds each; in June there
were u; in July 6; in August 4 and
in September /. .iln .s.e go.
These high monthly records are
noteworthy, but somewhat low
er production over a longer period
often indicates a higher class of
animal. The reports of high pro-
ducing animals up to October
show Is cows which range from
Al pounds of butterfat per month
for six months, and one cow that
averaged l04.3 pounds per month
for FIVE months. These Is cows
have produced over 45O0 pounds
of butterfat making gross in
come of approximately $4,000
in six months. ..-- .ss.ls-o 9Hf
A summary of the records from
October j to December 81 will

1t is said that many quail are
being unlawfully killed by people
who think they will not be caught
on account of the snow. The
danger to such law-breakers is
greater in time when protected
game is being fed to preserve

Danger from Feeding Diseased

The use of the hog as carrion
eater is not only Objectionable
from the standpoint that human
beings have we'll founded aver
sion to the flesh of earnivorous
animals, but the practice is mem
ace to the welfare Of livestock
generally and to the public as
WELL.
Many diseases are readily trans
mitted to hogs from feeding on
diseased carcasses, such as an
thrax, tuberculosis. hog cholera,

onosis, tapeworm infection, CLAN

instances OF this dangerous Gus
tom, resulting in infection and
loss of swine. Often there is estab-
lished in pigs which eat diseased
flesh, and survive, the inception
of some chronic wasting disease
that renders the animal valueless.
Not infrequently it may be COM
municable to the herd, as tuber-
culosis, long cholera, and many of
the puss diseases. Humans, as
well, are susceptible to some Of
these diseases, hence there is a
double menace.

sulting from eating the carcass1a
OF cattle or sheep which had died
of anthrax or hemorrhagic scepti-
caemia.
There is but one safety for the
farmer who desires to protect his
herds from the introduction of
some communicable or wasting
disease, and to protect himself, his
family and the public as well, in
such instances, and that is to Gre
mate or bury the carcass of every
animal that dies from disease on
his premises. Use dry manure
as fuel, or bury six feet deep,
away from any chance of pollut
ing water.

ANTlMONY MAY
NOT BE STABLE

Antimony prices IN 1918 were
probably the highest known since
the metal became regular article
Iof commerce. The high prices led
to the largest production the Uni
ted States has made and probably
the same statement is true for
the worlds production.
According to preliminary fig
ures collected for the United
States Geological Survey by F
L. Hess the production of anti
mony ores in the United States
is estimated to have been about
5000 tons containing 1000 tons Of
antimony, valued at about $685.
900. The largest previous domes-
tic production was in 1892 when
$50 tons of metal was produced in
San Francisco from Nevada ores
and $50 tons Of ore carrying S.
|per cent of antimony was export
ed. Practically all operations OF
the past year were new, most
were small, and they were widely
scattered so that it is difficult to
obtain close figures Immediately
after the close of the year.
Atimony, which in July, 1914,
had been down to a monthly av-
erage price of III cents for Cook
sons, and from 5.44 upwards for
other brands, rose gradually
though unsteadily, to the end Of
1915 when Chinese, Japanese and
American antimony were quoted
at about 40 cents a pound.
Quotations for Cookson's anti
mony ceased in May, 1915, some
time after an embargo had been
declared against the shipment Of
antimony metal or ores from the
British possessions, and so cents
a pound is said to have been paid
for it about June 1st, when Chin
ese was selling for about IS cents
or less. In the fall American anti
mony appeared on the market for
the first time in many years. At
first it sold slightly below Chin
ese and Japanese, but was soon
quoted at the same price. Miners
and smelters, apparently thinking
that the high prices would be
temporary, did not begin produc-
tion as quickly as they otherwise
might have done, but before the
close OF the year properties in
Alaska, California, Idaho, Nevada,
Oregon, Utah and Washington
were producing.
Prices for ores ranged from
$l.OO to $2.l0 per unit of anti
mony. At first, only ores carry
ing so per cent or more antimony
were in demand, but before the
close of the year 20 per cent were
being shipped from Nevada.
From Alaska, according to data
collected by Alfred H. Brooks,
about 685 tons of stibnite ore car
rying So per cent antimony was
produced in the Fairbanks district
from properties on Eva, Vault,
Treasure and Chatham creeks. 1t
is reported that 132 tons were
shipped from Nome, but it seems
probable that more was mined.

MUzzLE. THE DOG.
KILL THE COYOTE


ton assisting the Hygienic Lab

circulars the following article is
widely published in the news

!. Rabies is epidemic in the Pa

received a Circular on Rabies
prepared and sent through this
State by the Hykienic Laboratory
in an effort to give the citizens of
the State some correct informa-
ton concerning this disease. Ac-
tual cooperation among the ex-
listing federal, State, county and
municipal agencies, together with
sympathetic assistance from all
private corporations and individ-
uals, will alone prevent serious
losses to stock and human deaths.
Already in two years over thirty
people in California have suffered
the terrible death from this dis
ease. Steps have been taken by
the States in California, Oregon,
Nevada, Idaho, and Utah, to OBJ
tain assistance from the several
federal services especially inter-
ested. If these efforts to obtain
federal help are to be successful
it will be necessary to show that
the various state governments
and the citizens of these States
are doing their part in helping
to eradicate this disease.
If you are stockman, your in
terests are affected in several
ways-your stock, the employees
that look after your stock, your
family, and yourself. All OF these
are in danger of becoming infected
if efforts at the suppression OF
this disease are not Immediately
undertaken. If stock are infected
they will surely die. If people are
infected some will surely die, as

Some of yours may be among the
