est way to feed animals Is to have
them Craze in pastures. 1t is an easy
and sure way to make money. The
profits per acre may not be large but
q comparative large acreage can be
used with a small amount Of man Ia
Dor.
AS all kinds Of land may be used for
grazing there need not be any idle
land on the farm. Much land can be
used for grazing that is not suited &c
staple crops. Pastures occupy some
OF the best land in the country and
pay a profit on It.
For the cotton belt, Bermuda, Les.
pedeza, White Glover, and Bur Clover
are the best plants to occupy the pas
ture area and for any given quantity
and area Of land will carry the largest
number Of animals. When well estab-
lished on good land this combination
of plants will carry as many as four
grown cows per acre. A pasture that
will carry one grown cow per acre is
good one.
FOR the rest of the country, ex.
tendpg as far west as Kansas and Ne
braska, Kentucky and Canada Blue
Grasses and White Glover make the
best pastures and these plants are
well adapted to the section indicated.
A blue grass pasture that will carry
one grown COW to the acre is re-
garded as exceptionally good; one
that will carry . grown COW to two
acres is regarded as good.
For certain types of land Canada
blue grass, Red Top and Alsike Clio.
ver give the best srasing.
For the country Rorth of the cotton
belt the blue grasses and white clover
are so aggressive that they occupy
land not otherwise used 80 that most
of the good blue grass pastures Of the
country are established by natural
agencies and this is desirable and
easy way to get good pasture. Most
Of the large area Of land used for graz
ing in this country Is occupied BY
plants established by natural agencies
and sometimes this results in good
grazing, but often II results in very
Indifferent grazing.
In the cotton belt no pasture estab
lished by natural agencies is compara'
BILE to a pasture sodded with Bermuda,
Lespedeza, White Glover and Bur
Glover. AS rule If cotton farmer
wants a good pasture he must make
II.
Bermuda may be established by
planting a small piece Of sod every
two feet each way on land that has
been prepared as for oats or other
small grain. The sod may be put out
any time from April to October when
there Is moisture enough to make the
sod live. White Glover may be sown
in the early fall. Bur Glover Tin the
burr) is best sown in July. Lespe-
deza should be sown the latter part
of February Five pounds Of White
Glover seed are enough for one acre; !;
twenty-five pounds OF bur clover burrs
and twenty pounds Of Lespedeza seed
are sufficient for one acre.
Good pastures should be made grad.
ually as the time element permits OF
making the cost small. Enough Bur
Glover and Lespedeza to sow one acre
each gives a start and seed from these
small areas can be sown on other areas
and the process continued until the
plants are established over the entire
area. Cattle may help to scatter the
seed, especially Lespedeza seed. The

labor cost il much less where more
time is used. Time IL often valua-
BILE aid in farm operations and 1t -
very inexpensive. This Is particular
ly true in establishing good pastures.
A grown COW should gain two hum
dred and fifty pounds during the pas
ture season. With fairly good pas
lures and good management the gains
per acre should be worth four to fve
dollars and may be more. This ap-
pears small when compared to cotton
at $1OO per acre and this difference
is just as great as 1t seems and yet
the pasture farmer may make the
most money. Unless land Is scarce
and limited it usually does not matter
about the acre profits. What should
be of interest Is how much does the
man make. The man labor on one
acre of cotton may be greater than It
is on one hundred acres OF pasture
where beef cattle are bought in the
spring at the beginning Of the season
and sold at the close of the season In
the fall. One man may do the requir-
ed work on five thousand acres OF pas.
ture. Cotton is q much more inteu-
sive crop than pasture grass but e1'
tensive crops may be just as profita'
BILE as intensive crops. 1t Is really
better for one to think Of how much
money he is going to make during the
year rather than how much crop hs
Is going to make on one acre.
Near the middle of the cotton belt
there is an area of country that ap-
pears to be about one-half gullies.
BY pasturing that land man made
eight to ten thousand dollars year.
There was plenty Of land, such az II
was. and he used 1t. The fact that
he was using large areas Of land did
not worry him.
Pasture farming is very sure way
to make money but you must use
comparatively large areas.
With some pastures It pays to ro-
tate the animals. Let them Craze
one area for a while then change to
differsnt area and in this way the
grass il each field is given good
chance to grow while the animals are
grazing elsewhere. But this Is not
the way to manage Bermuda pas
ture Keep plenty Of animals on a
Bermuda sod to keep 1t grazed close
to the ground.
BY eating the best grasses animals
encourage worthless weeds to grow In
pastures and for this reason 1t is often
advisable to run moving machine
over them once or twice year. Pas
lures need some shade but 1t takes
open land to grow good grass. The
cattle Craze on the open areas.
The cotton farmer may have some
excellent temporary pastures. A corn
field where a good crop of peas or vel
vet beans have been grown as COM
panion crops makes valuable pas
ture for the fall season. The gains,
made in such pasture may be worth
as much as ten dollars an acre.
Other temporary pastures may hs
had with peanuts and soy beans and
still others with rape and sorghum.
Temporary pasture In the cotton belt
may be made to supplement the per
manent grazing areas to very great
advantage.
Nitrate OF soda. as q top dressing on
Bermuda sod, can be made to pay good
profits. II should be applied the Arst
Of May.
Cotton is q very reliable crop but
even cotton is not as sure as pastures.

POWER COMPANIES

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS FED
ERAL AND LIMITS STATE
SOVEREIGNTY

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10.
In sustaining an injunction BUSTING
Utah hydro-electric power companies
from forest reservations, the SUI
preme court today upheld the fed
eral court and limited the state
sovereignty in developing the re-
sources in western public land"
states.
The supreme court sustained the
regulations of the agricultural and
interior departments on their con-
servation policy and issued DEGREES
requiring Utah power companies to
remove their property from the pub
lie lands unless they C u fed
eral permits.
The court maintained hat the
power of congress to regulate all
public lands and denying its au-
thority was limited to lands actually
used for federal purposes. All gov
eminent regulations were not spe-
officially upheld, but the court re-
fused to disturb them. 1t also held
that the government was entitled
to reasonable compensation from
power concerns for the use Of lands
occupied.

though vast quantities of ore were
stopped on the upper levels, the full
extent of the big deposit has not

velopment has already been made,
however, to prove that this body
of ore is of great extent and high

PASADENA MAN HAS
ACQUIRED HOOS|tR
Is SAID TO HAVE BROUGHT
FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS

One of the most important de-
velopments of the week in the
Yellow Pine district is the sale of
the Hoosier mine to f. s. Arm
strong of Pasadena, California, and
his associates, at the reported price
of $4,000. The property was
owned by Claudia Morris and Harry
Josephs of Salt Lake City. and
under lease and bond to Nelson,
Austin and Kirchner.
The examination of the property
was made by D. B. Myers, a mining
and consulting engineer of Los
Angeles.
Mr.. Armstrong is widely known
as a mine owner and operator. He
has extensive mining interests
throughout the southwest, and also
in Mexico, and but recently raised
100000 for the development of
the Jermone-Del Monte property in
Arizona.
The Hoosier has long been a
steady and profitable producer, and
is considerably developed. MI. N.
Touroff will have charge of the
property under the new manage
ment. He estimates that there are
5000 tons of zinc and lead ore in
sight in the present workings. The
company plans to install a dry con-
centrating mill on the property as
soon as details can be arranged

EIGHT FEET ORE IS
OPENED ON MONARCH
CARRIES VALUES IN SILVER
OF FORTY DOLLARS
PER TON

Monarch Pittsburg was in active
demand this morning when it. be-
came known that the mine had
opened eight feet of $40 rock which
had been drifted on for a distance
of 20 feet. The ore was found on
the $50 level and the footwall is not
in sight yet. The formation is EX-
tension breccia on the footwall and
is undoubtedly an extension of the
Murray vein, according to the state
ment of Manager Branch Smith.
The ore was opened a week ago,
but the fact kept quiet until the
ore body was proved up.-Tonopah

IMPORTANT STRIKE
IS MADE At COMO
ASSAYS SHOW VALUES AS HIGH
AS FIVE HOUNDRED
DOLLARS

An important strike has just been
made in the south drift from the
Miller vein of the Como CONSOLE
dated Mines company, according to
word received today from the mine
by Quincy Gordon, president of the
company.
The measure states that the en-
tire face of the drift our feet wide,
averages better than $50 a ton and
some of it goes as high as $500 a
ton.
"Wha makes this more impor-
tant," said Mr.. Gordon, "is that it
is below the water level and the
lowest place that the ledge has been
worked in the camp.
This strike coming just after
the strike made a week ago in the
north crosscut from the 115-foot
level of the old Como mine makes
the country. The north crosscut
from the 115-foot level is driven on
the line of the Como and Buckeye
claims. Wood Elkins and Aleck
Dromiack, together with the Como
Consolidated, have a lease and bond
on the Buckeye. The crosscut was
driven to intersect a ledge which
on the surface carried some values
but had been prospected very little.
after driving through a hard
dyke about sixty feet in width a
ledge of high-grade ore was en-
countered. The ledge was eight to
nine feet wide on the footwall and
assayed from 500 to $40 a ton in
copper, gold and silver. The values
we're evenly divided among the
three metals, and the balance of the
ledge is a good grade of mill ore.
"This new ledge looks as if it
should produce as much as the
Como ledge which parallels it 60
feet to the south and which has a
production of $350,0OO to 100000
to it's credit and has never been
worked below the 20O-foot level

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-The bulk of the operations today were representa- tive of the efforts of the floor element, although in the local traction stocks and a few of the rails liquidation was in evidence.
 A feature of the weakness was in Union Pacific, where liquidation was conducted in a liberal way, promoted in great part by the unfavorable ex- hibit of September earnings where net showed a decrease of sS01, 900. Of late the earnings of the western carriers with few exceptions are making unfa- vorable comparisons with last year, high operating costs cutting deeply in to net revenue, now that Interstate commerce commission seems anxious to reopen the 15 per cent rate case for the purpose of determining upon the status of affairs in eastern locali- ties presages are the belief that other railroads of the country will in the near future make an. appeal for ap- aren't much-needed relief.

NEW YORK. Oct 23.-ProfessiOnal interests again dominated the stock market Conflicting and shifting de velopments bearing upon intrinsic val ues found further reflection in the lower trend of prices.
 Sentiment was perceptibly encour' aged at the outset by the news that the interstate commerce commission had decided to reopen the hearing of the eastern railroads for higher freight rates. Shares of that partic- ular division made early gains of to points. but shaded upon renewal of pressure elsewhere.
 Utilities developed weakness at ex- treme recessions of 2 to points. This invited selling of more stable issues, equipments and the general group of war issues forfeiting l to 3 point ad- yances.
 In the last half of the session. when the list evidenced some disposition to rally, prices received another sharp reversal. Union Pacific made de- cline of 2s4 points to 120ls.
 United States Steel fuctuated be- tween 1O6 and 1042s. finishing at 105. a net loss of the smallest fraction. Most of the other steels moved in the same narrow groove.
 Metals were held back by the heaviness in Utah copper, which lost all its recent recovery. Sales, 750,- 900 shares.
