assure success. These are: First Good foundation stock; Second: Herd leaders of blood and quality; Third: Favorable care and favorable living conditions, and: Fourth: The right sort Of feed.
 Of these first two Arizona and the Salt River valley especially are well represented. Among the herds in this valley are some of the finest in the United States, herds and individual animals which have taken many rib bons in many national and interna tional shows. Among herd leaders in the district are bulls of register and pure breed Breeders of international reputation have located in the valley, brought into the district important herds of registered animals and begun propagation of their stock with an idea to building even better animals.
 Perhaps the best example in the Salt River valley of a blooded herd is that of the Alhambra Holstein- F'reisian dairy farm at Alhambra The foundation. stock of this herd came from the famous w. B. Barney herd, of Hampton, Iowa, and has been in this district for several years. The herd leader is Roderick Lincoln, with 25 A. R. o. daughters to his credit. This herd is one of the best known and valuable in the country
 Another example of the manner in which foundation stock and herd leaders has been attended in this district is seen in the purchase recently by a Salt River valley dairy man of Arilia de Kol Pontiac Mead, q pull calf, blue ribbon winner at the San Francisco exposition. The ani- nal was acquired at a cost of S2,500, and since that date as high as $5,000 has been refused for the same animal.
 Other leaders in the district, named for the sake of giving an idea of the stock obtained here are:
 Dichter Spoffors Korndyke Lad. No. 6SSS6
 Winona Jennie II, No 244929, a heifer with a record of 27 pounds of butter fat in one week.
 Mabel de Kol Niko, No. S7550, who in one week gave 30> pounds of milk carrying 42.2 pounds of butter fat with daily gains. It is to be regretted that the tests swith this animal were not carried further as it is not believed that she had developed her full ca pacity when tests ended and she again dropped off under a change of feed.
 Uneeda Biscuit. No. 157103 in milk four months, gave in seven days test 22.3 pounds of butter fat.
 Similar examples and illustrations are numberless and each served only to strengthen the evidence of the ex-
 stence in this valley Of high class herd leaders and good foundation stock for the uppuilding of herds. Their naming, however. brings again 2 mind the high average of dairy

POULTRY EXPERIMENTS

The Pennsylvania Experiment sta tion, in an experiment to determine the relation between the number of eggs laid, the amount of feed con- stunned, and the physical condition of each flock, two lots of 40 white leg horn hens each were fed, lot 1 being confined and lot having the use of a yard.
 At the end of the first 13 weeks the fowls in pen had laid 466 eggs, whereas those in pen 1 had laid only 179. During the second 13 weeks pen ? laid 1,2S5 eggs and pen l, 1.221. Dur ing the third 13 weeks pen laid 2,079 eggs and pen l, 1889. During the last 13 weeks pen laid 1,525 eggs and pen 1, 1,4S3.
 It is concluded that in order to ob tain the best results in egg produc- ton it is decided advantage to allow the flock of hens the use of a yard where they may have room to exercise and secure green feed at certain sea-

ing the past year by the infant state
 Values per head for four years past beginning with January 1, 1917 and ending with January l, 1914. were esti- mated as follows in the states where comparisons are especially interesting:
 1917 1916 1915 1914 Arizona ..sS5OO s7S.O0 $74.00 $64.OO Montana 1900 77.50 75.00 70.50 New Mex. $500 67.00 61.50 55.00 Wyoming. S15O S050 7S.00 74.50
 While these figures are of signifi- canoe and interest to the entire state they are of especial importance to the Salt River valley and the residents of this district as they are directly a mirror of the rapid strides and pro- gress which this valley has experienced in the years shown in the tables. Most of the counties in the state have made progress in dairying and dairy cattle. This is especially true of the mining counties such as Greenlee, Gila and Cochise. However, none of them have made the remarkable strides or have even approached the growth experi- enced in the Salt River valley.
 It is estimated that at least 70 per cent. perhaps 75 per cent, of the dairy cattle in the state are in this valley. Such being the case the total milk cows located within radius of few miles of Phoenix will number approx imately 60,000 on the first of the year just past. The value of these animals according to the estimates would be approximately s4,4O0, 900. Their value per head, estimated from comparison with stocks elsewhere in the state and from other statistical data obtainable in this district will reach above the SS5 per head figure of the entire state as the most valuable herds in Arizona are pastured in this district
 The product of these large herds ot milk and dairy animals is used entire ly in the district. In the past few years the demand for the output o1 dairymen has increased largely with the growth and expansion of the val ley's creamery industries, and today the entire stock of milk, cream anG skinned milk of the entire district is in constant demand Large creamer- ies in Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa anC large canning house in Tempe absorb much of the cream. Butter and condensed milk are the products turned out generally while some cheese is made. The skinned milk is nearly all fed back to hogs on the various hos ranches in the valley.
 Nearly every breed of registered ant high class stock is represented in tn. Salt River valley herds. Holstein. t'reisans are perhaps the most favored however, with several other breed coming close for second place Anon: these later are such breeds and stock! as Holsteins. Jerseys, Guernseys A1rrshires, Dutch Belted, Red Polls and Brown Swiss. Several herds o

each variety is represented on the va rious stock ranches throughout the district
 Arizona and the Salt River valley lead the nation again in the health of dairy herds according to the latest figures obtainable. Dairy cattle in this state are practically free from disease. Records show that Arizona is 99 per cent healthy. Other sections of the United States where dairying is carried on extensively have records much lower than 90 per cent in many instances, while the average for the country generally is 93.5 per cent The comparative infancy of the dairying in- dustry is accredited somewhat with the high figure in this state, but of far more importance and of far greater weight in placing this healthy condi- tion are the wise and well enforced cattle and stock laws of the state. Diseased cattle have been prevented from entering the local fields through these laws, those which have con- tracted disease here have been done away with and every precaution and measure known for health has been strictly enforced and observed with the result that this district is practically free of all common and rare cattle af- fections.
 The rapid strides in the growth of the dairying industry in the Salt River valley are found in figures for the past few years as taken from the most ac- curate data obtainable in local fields It is estimated that in 1915 there were
 in the valley about 14,000 dairy cattle In 1916, January l, there were neal 35,000 animals of an equal or better grade. On January l. 1917, it is esti-
 mated that the number had again doubled and that approximately 60,000 head of valuable, we'll bred dairy ami rals were pastured in and about the Salt River valley. This includes the ! district under the Buckeye irrigation system and other similar districts in this county
 Several points are essential to the success of the dairy farmer in any part of the country and it is generally be- lieyed that these points are to be found
 in this district almost unexcelled Among the first of the necessary issues is the location of a dairy farm on land which is of not too high value per acre
 In the Salt River valley such land may be had at prices ranging from ! $100 to $500 per acre or higher ac- l cording to the class of land, the i'm 1 provements and the location. How ] ever, at the highest valley price the ] dairy land is cheap as compared with i the prices which are paid in other states. Many districts where dairying
 is done on an extensive scale rate
 their lands as high as $106 and uE
 per acre.
 In addition to this question of the
 cost of the land which shall be de- toted to the cattle business there
 are four other cardinal points whicf must be taken into consideration te

sons of the year. There seemed to be, however, a period from about Janu- ary to April. when the egg yield from both pens ran about parallel, and when the egg yield from the pen of fowls which had the use of the yard did not indicate that it is necessary for the hens to be out of doors during the win ter months.
 There was apparently little differ ence in the amount of feed (concen- trates) consumed by each pen. but the results show that the lot which laid the largest number of .eggs consumed a little more feed than the other lot The hens in pen consumed more feed in the first and third periods, and the fowls of both pens ate the most feed at the time when their egg production was the highest. There was no great difference in the physical condition of the fowls of the two lots. In the lot confined, however, the hens seemed to have more completely molted at the end of the first years work than the lot which had the use of the run.

 In the matter of care one of the most potent factors in the upbuilding of the Arizona dairy herd has been the COW testing associations which , i've been formed throughout the val

The Recorder of Accounts should
