Our colontsts are raising Jersey Duroc hogs for three cents a pound and the An mour company at Jacksonville 54s miles away is paying from eight to ten cectSs per pound on the hoof. How do we raise hogs for three cents a pound? This land is what are permitted to graze cattle on any land that is not fenced whether you are the owner of ten acres or a hundred Because snow is unknown they can graze nearly every month in the year practically earning their own living.

Seventeen Months Old Hog Weighs 57O Pounds

At our colonists' fair this year was exhibited Jersey Duroc hog seventeen months old weighing 57O pounds. Take this for basis of comparison. Raising at net cost of three cents per pound and selling at nine is better than SPA per head per year profit. When you figure that Jersey Durocs bear two filters 8 year and average about seven pigs to the litter it will give you some idea of the enormous profit to be made in hog raising.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-19

And remember that it Is very little care that hog requires in this "open range" country until he is brought ir for fattening. While he is earning his owE living you cam still put your Iand vorK not onfy in rais- ing fodder crops for his preparation for the market but raise most any evegetable known in the north and many that northern farmers are not familiar with.
 And remember these are the first vege- tables of the season and therefore bring top ,orioou in t6o norfhern market
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-19

When our colonists need money they bring their hogs into 8 small enclosure and fatten them for market Buying fattening foods is almost unknown to our colonists. They can raise some fattening crop most any month in the year. We can show large number of these fattening crops brought from our demonstration farm at our Bridgeport office. We also have an ex- hibit of many other products.

PETITIONS IN LAND CASES
A DELICATE NATTER

Petitions for designation of lands
under the 64O-acre stock-raisinq
homestead law are being kept in
"strict accountability" by the de-
partment of the interior and in many
cases where not properly executed
they will have to be re-filed.
In the local commissioners office
a special form was prepared which
meets with every requirement later
demanded by the secretary Of the in
terror In every case the Lordsburg
officer has filed all the data relative
to surface and underground water,
irrigation possibilities in the vicinity
and the adaptabilty of the land for
grazing of cattle. A large number of
petitions for designation filed
throughout the country were not
complete and will have to be re-
made.

Bakery InstaIIS
New Oil Burner

Oil burners for locomotives, oil
burners for Deisel engines, so why
not oil burners for bake-ovens?
That is the way Schultheis & OFT,
managers of the Lordsburg bakery
figured it out when they installed
an oil burner in their big ovens this
week. At the present time saving
of over so per cent of their fuel bill
is made by a patented burner which
has been in operation in the local es-
tablishment since Friday night. The
apparatus is movable and throws a
powerful blaze into every part Of the
oven. The oil is sprayed by means
Of steam, the mixture being ignited
and forced onto heating plate. The
disillate used is fed from a tank out
side the building.
The new innovation heats the oven
in much less time than wood and
does away with chopping, feeding,
removing ashes and the oftimes try
ing inability to obtain fuel.

SOME $40 APPLI-

TIONS IMPERFECT
The general land office at Wash
ington, d. c., has issued a circular
stating that a number Of early ap-
plications made under the 640-acre
homestead law were imperfect in
that they did not contain information
relative TO the stock-raising qualities
of the land filed upon and that in
many of these applications additional
information would be required
This win likely not affect those
filings through the Lordsburg office
as on every application filed before
the new 640-acre homestead blanks
were issued, affidavits were attached
showing the land TO be grazing in
character and stating that GAO acres
were necessary for the support Of a
family.
Only a few applications were filed
in this office before the 64O-acre
homestead blanks were printed and
should any additional information be
desired on these few, the affidavits
will be filed without cost to the ap-
plicants.

Instructions Under GAO Acre
Homestead Law Are Issued

The local United States commits
sioner is in receipt of circular 523 is
sued by the department Of the in
terror relative to the 64O-aere stock
raising homestead act of December
26th, 1916, containing the new law
and also instructions issued by the
commissioner, Clay Tallman and
Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the
interior. This is one of the most inn
portant documents issued in connec-
tion with the 640-acre homestead law
and contains twenty pages of valua-
BILE information.
The instructions of the commits
sioner do not deviate very much from
the general constructions of the orig
,inal bill as passed by congress and
signed by the president; however,
several regulations should be borne
in mind by homesteaders. From the
circular the following summarized
information is taken:
The right of persons who have
heretofore taken 100 acres or less of
land under pre-emption, stone and
timber or desert land laws are
not affected in taking GAO acres.
If he has entered under any
of these acts more than 100
acres but approximately 40 acres
less than 800 acres, he is entitled to
make original or additional entry
which together with the new entry
under the 64O-scres law must not ex-
ceed 800 acres.
No entry shall entirely surround
an unappropriated tract of land nor
shall have an extreme length of
MORE THAN TWO MILES.
The same residence is required as
in the three-year homestead laws.

State Engineer Says
Road Will Be Repaired

The news that the state highway
from Silver City to Lordsburg would
not be completed and that the road
gang would be moved to the Mogol-
Ion road where work would be done,
has been the reason for considerable
agitation among the people of Lords
burg and all southern Grant county
who travel the highway to the coun-
by seat.
The Liberal has written James
French, state negineer, for a correct
statement as to the facts in the case
and the following self-explanatory
letter from him has been received:
February Q, 1917.
Mr.. Faris V. Bush,
Lordsburg, N. NJ.
My dear Mr. Bush:
/ have your letter Of February 9Th
n which you state you understood
that the State Highway from Silver
City to Lordsburg will not be con
tinued beyond Tyrone at this time
and that the road gang will be re-
moved to the MogoIlon Road and
work down there. In regard to this
{ wish to state that your information
is correct in so far as it goes. 1t will
not be possible for this office with
the bond money available to continue
such a large camp as this on this
work, and as the county wishes to
turn over a pretty large sum of
money to me for road work on the
Mogollon Road l intended to go
ahead with the Mogollon work with
this camp.
1t will not be possible for the
State to continue construction work
of the class that we have been build
ing from Silver City to Tyrone on to
Lordsburg at this time. l have plans
and will put them into execution inn
mediately, to continue on beyond Ty-
rome towards Lordsburg with much
smaller crew to work over the worst
places, trust that you will realize
that it is financially impossible for
the State to build 35 or SO miles
more of road of the type that we
have just completed, toward Lords
burg.
Trusting the information furnish
ed will be satisfactory and clear, /
am
Very truly yours,

"Ch;Idren of the Feud."

"Children of the Feud," in which
Dorothy Gish will be seen at the Gem
TODAY. is founded on one of the most
sensational episodes in real life that
has ever occurred in American judi
cial proceedings. The original affair
took place few years ago, when rela-
tives of a man who had just been con-
yicted entered the courtroom at Hills
Vile. Va, killed the presiding justice,
Curtis Massey; the prosecuting at
torney, couple of court officers and
two jurymen, and badly wounded a
large number of spectators. Some of
the outlaws are still in hiding.
According to. the story as it is told
on the screen, Miss Gish has the part
of Peggy, the eldest of six mother
less children of Pap Clayton, moon
shining mountaineer. The young
man with whom she falls in love is
DR.. Richard Cavanagh, played by
Sam de Grasse, son of the judge who
is later killed by Peggy's fiance, JED
Martin. From this situation there
grows an action in which there is not
q single moment that is not filled with
suspense and rapid fire happenings.
