POULTRY POINTERS.

To prevent waste provide a good deer
hopper for the mash food.
I Fowls seem to delight in pulling the
mash out of the hopper onto the ground
thus causing much waste. This is the
result of their hunting out the meat
portions of the mixture, but by having
the vessel deep, much of this can be
avoided.
Don t resort to overcrowding, as this
is one of the most serious of all mis-
takes. Many persons seem to get the
idea that it is alright to crowd birds
during the winter, owing to the cold
weather, but this is a big mistake. 1t
IS as harmful to the fowls during the
winter as in the spring or summer and
should never be countenanced.
Don't let the old nest wear completely
out before you replace it with new ma
terial. Foster cleanliness and help keen
down lice by renewing the nesting ma
terlal several times during the season.
Burn the old ones as soon as they are
taken out and don t neglect to disinfect
before putting in the new.
See to 1t that the drinking water is
always fresh and clean. Fowls drink a
lot OF water, especially when laying.
AS the egg is largely composed of water,
the hens should be given the very pur-
est.
Don't forget that culling process this
fall. Avoid carrying over the winter
any birds that will be burden and ex-
pense. Fowl flesh is bringing good money
now, and it is better to convert chickens
into cash than to feed them during the
winter in idleness.
You can avoid much trouble, and at
the same time increase the egg yield |
considerably, by feeding a variety of /
foods. Be exceptionally liberal with the |
green food. Do your bit
Next week we will have a little some |
thing to say about preparing fowls for
market.

Time Margins
tPhoenix GaZette)

What are you doing with your
time margins?
That's what a Phoenix preacher
wanted to know Yesterday.
Thare is a good deal of food for
thought in the question.
What ARE you doing with your
time margins
Time margins mean your extra
time-the odds and ends of your
days. -
Everybody has some of this.
There are a few minutes or a few
hours in everybody's day that they
can really call their own.
Multiply these minutes or these
hours by seven and by 365, and the
total will appa1l. A.
It's time enough to acquire a
liberal education. Time enough to
become a specialist. Time enough
to perfect yourself in any profes-
sion, or to become an authority
upon any subject.
You CAN do it Anybody CAN
do it.
The question is, WILL you do it?
Anybody can do anything he
wills to do.
Nobody is so busy that he has
not a few minutes every day to
himself.
Life is just full of opportunities
for the man or woman, the boy or
the girl who will.
Don't be a one idea person.
Broaden out. Develop. Think.
That's what God put you here for.
The preacher put it into eloquent,
compelling words Four hundred
persons heard him say it. Twenty
thousand persons will read this
We haven't the preachers power
of expression or his eloquence, but
we want to pass along the idea If
one person in the twenty thousand
will take account of stock and shift
his time margin from the debit to
the credit side of the ledger the
preacher sermon and this editorial
will have been worth while
Come, now, what are YOU do
ing with YOUR time margins ?

Parker News

Parker, Arizona, March 49,
Many important Developments
have marked the past week. Among
them is the strike on the Pride
group, where every shot is reveal
ing more and more of an ore body
which carries exceptional values in
gold and copper. Arizona Reve-
nue. has about 400 tons of high
grade ore awaiting shipment on the
dumps at the new shaft on Revenue
No. g.. which, according to Super
intendent Morse, is all in ore with
streak of high-grade about five
feet wide carrying considerable val
ues in gold.
The lola, which will be used by
the Western Arizona Copper Com
any to freight ore down the Colo
RADIO river to loading station here
was launched Wednesday. Super
intendent Stewart pi1oted the boat
on it's maiden journey and as a re-
suit of frequent soundings believes
no difficulty will be encountered in
handling the ore by water until
such time as the proposed railroad
spur is constructed. Considerable
ore is sacked awaiting shipment on
the Western Arizona
Delay in the delivery of machin-
cry ordered some time ago is i'se-
riously handicapping work on the
Arizona Standard where T. ]. Car
rigan, of Los Angeles, and ]. P.
Sweeney are heavily interested.
Approximately 5000 feet of work
has been done on the property, in
Guiding 225-foot shaft and con-
siderable good ore has been taken
out.
Developement work on the Arl-
zona McGinnis is rushing perhaps
faster than on any nelghborlng
properties, and if smelter contracts
could be obtained, the mine would
ship ore at a profit now.
Mohican Copper Company, oper-
ating few miles from Parker, is
making something of record To-
cally. The shaft is already down
4o4 feet and at this depth some ma
tive copper has been mined. Indi-
dications are that a large ore body
will be encountered within the next
week or so.

Ell Paso, March 21.-Motor ma
chine guns are to be used to patrol
the great stretch of Mexican border
between San Diego, California, and
Brownsville, Texas, if the expert
nients being conducted here result
in the adoption of the motor ma
chine gun as a part of the regular
army equipment.
The automobiles experimental
with are light cars with a double
turret built on the chassis instead
of body. The motor carries two
machine guns mounted, and in ad-
dition a searchlight which may be
swung either to the front or rear.
Each machine gun is protected
by a curved steel shield behind
which the operator reclines on
padded cushion to operate the guns.
The automobile and machine guns
are painted an olive drab color to
make them inconspicuous while
travelling along the border. The
plan is to use this equipment to
prevent smuggling, cattle stealing
and border raiding,
