TALKS ON THRIFT
VACANT LOT GARDENING

Economy is no disgrace; it is bet
great al."-Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Owing to the rolling nature of the
surface in the upper part of the Bor-
ough of Manhattan, New York City,
there are places where the Broadway
Subway" is really an Elevated" and
one must ride in an escalator to reach
the station platform.
From the vantage point of one of
these elevated subway stations can be
seen another apparent contradiction
in terms-a garden plot in a great
city.
There, in triangular piece of sround
formed by the coming together of three
streets, is a little house and garden
entirely shut out from the passersby
in the streets by the high bill boards
enclosing the place on all sides.
For both economical and esthetic
reasons there ought to be many more
such garden spots in New York and
every other city.
1t was estimated that $4,000 was re-
allied from the crops raised on vacant
lots within the city of Philadelphia
last year.
There are few cities in the United
States that cover the immense area
that Philadelphia does, but there are
none without some vacant land that
could and should be used for a sim
liar purpose.
Even in the biggest and most crowd
ed cities, like New York and Chicago,
there is considerable acreage of land
not under cultivation.
And Kitchen gardens have become
reality in Chicago. Mrs. Lenora e.
Meder, commissioner of public welfare,
opened a five-acre tract at East One
Hundred and Tenth street and Indiana
avenue and a thirty acre tract at East
One Hundred and Twenty sixth street
and Indiana avenue a few weeks ago.

RAY LEAD SILVER MERCER ATTRACTS
ATTENTION Of MINING MEN Of STATE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 22-Relative
| to the recent lead-silver merger at
Ray the Arizona Gazette says:
Announcement of the acquisition OF
rich lead and silver deposits in the
vicinity of Ray by combination of
Arizona mining and business men, and
statement that details of a plan for
immediate development and produc-
ton are now under way, was made
yesterday by local parties. The prop
erty now controlled will include the
we'll known Haley Soffrien group, to-
gether with a large number of addi-
tlonal claims. The purchasing COM
pany is known as the Ray Silver
Lead Mining Company.
The members of the new company,
which is made up mostly of prominent
Arizona mining and business men, in
| Guides the following local parties:
John H. Page and Adolph Lautz, of
| John H. Page & Company; Joseph
Cassou, of McDougall & Cassou; J. E.
| Rowands and DR.. r. G. Fowler.
Captain William McDermott, of
Tucson, former mine superintendent
| for Senator Clark in the United Verde
mine, is the president of the new COM
pany The deal, because of local con-
| nections and the Importance of the
ore body involved, is of much signifi-
| canoe in Arizona and the plans of the
company for immediate work will be
known in few days.
Or. Walter Harvey Weed has ac-
cepted the position of Consulting En-
gineer and the work will be planned
| under his direction. These men are
known as successful mining and bust
| ness men and the operations of the
property will be watched with interest
'The Haley Souffrein properties are
| situated some miles east of Ray. They
| have been worked to a small degree in
the past ten years by the former own
ers, two pioneers in the Ray mining
| district. Under this development
Haley and Souffrein uncovered and

blocked out over 5000 tons of high
grade lead and silver ore. Since last
April in the neighborhood of $35, 900,
has been expended in further explora-
ton and examination of the property,
and as result there are now blocked
out and in sight more than 10000
tons of this high grade ore ready for
shipment. 1t is on this showing and
on the knowledge there are many
| thousands of tons which have not yet
been explored or examined that the
property has changed hands and come
into possession of the present in

recommended by engineers when lead
was selling at five to six cents and
the present price of lead is quoted at
ten and half cents.
| made at FREQUENT intervals during the
past several months by mining en-
| gineers of recognized standing and
ability. All of these reports have
recommended the further development
of the mine. In a last report made
during the past month by DR.. Walter
Harvey Weed, one of the best mining
| authorities in the world, the immediate
development of the property was again
recommended, based on the statement
that ores in sight warrant eXplora-
ton to ascertain the depth and value
of the body which undoubtedly exists.
The Haley-Souffrein properties in
the Ray district have become famous
to all the mining men of the state.
Two old time prospectors, pioneers in
Arizona located valuable claims, some

their findings, and they have held on
to it long after releasing their other

Give Horse Square Deal.

Give the horse a square deal in the
spring and he will more than pay for
it during the summer, says the animal
husbandry department at Iowa State
college.
Idle farm horses may be largely win
tered upon cheap roughage. but when
such horses are thrown suddenly into
heavy spring work they lose flesh and
weight and work to disadvantage
throughout the summer Horses that
have been idle during the winter
should be started on a small but in
creasing grain ration and given light
work about month before hard work
begins. This will help the horse to
shed his coat and put him in condition
for the summers work.

several members of the department
will be instructed how to drive and
care for it. The fire chief and fore
man Of each department will select
the men who will be authorized to
