Maine Sardine Gamers Agree to Reduce
Prices.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. Gamers rep
resenting 90 percent of the Maine sar-
dine canning industry have had confer
ence with the Food Administration.
They voluntarily agreed to reduce their
price to $500 per case of 100 cans, for
the quarter size in full oil and keyless cans,
Sc. 10 per case of quarter key Gems in oil,
and IS. 10 per case of three quarter size,
packed with mustard, all in standard dec
GRATED caps, with the usual differnetials
for goods in wrappers or in cartons.
They have agreed to maintain prices,
not only on their present stocks but on
the pack yet to be made, although the re-
mainder of the season will show increas-
ing costs Retailers can well afford to
sell these cans at three for Is cents, as
the wholesale grocers have agreed to
turn them over to correspondingly close

MAINE IN 1861.

AUGUSTA, Me, Oct. 81. CAT the time
of recruiting tor the Civil War | think
things moved little livelier than they
do today, in spite of more progressive
times" says DR.. William McDavid of
Augusta, who served in the 3rd Maine
Regiment
'FFort Sumter fell April IA, 1861. By
the 22nd of April we had organized a
company of 100 men, by the middle of
May we had full regiment in camp on
the grounds in front of the State House.
This regiment was the 3rd Maine and
was raised in the Kennebec Valley. Mind
you, there was no organized militia in
the State at that time around which to
build regiment.
"By June list Maine had organized four
regiments of infantry, each 1000 strong.
By the 4th of June the 3rd Regiment was
mustered into the United States service
and on the 5th of June we left Augusta
for the seat of war. By the middle of
June Maine had four fully equipped regi-
ments in the field, and on June 21st took
part in the battle of Bull Run.
81 think this was going some for those
days and compares favorably with the
equipment, mobilization and movements
of the present day.
cat the beginning Of the Civil War
there was scarcely person in Augusta
who knew anything about military train
ing, but we were fortunate in having two
men at the United States Arsenal who
were experienced. Major Oliver o. How
ard, commandant of the arsenal, became
the first colonel of the 3rd Maine Regi-
ment and afterward one of the great
Generals of the war. The other was
Sergeant Edwin Burt, who later became
Major of the regiment and was killed in
action. There was another Augusta ma n
who became distinguished, General Seth
Williams, who was Adiutant General of
the Army of the Potomac.
'tMaine sent over 10000 men to the
war. Will Maine do as well in the pres
ent greater war? If it becomes neces-
sary, believe she will, for Maine never
was Stacker and never will be-"

Brain Blood-Supply Must Be Good.

The Importance of having pure blood is
perhaps never more deeply impressed on
US than when we are told by psychologists
that if the brain is supplied with impure
blood, nervous and bilious headache, con-
fusion of ideas, loss of memory, impaired
intellect, dimness of vision, and dullness
of hearing, are experienced, and in time
the brain becomes disorganized and the
brittle thread of life is broken.
The more we learn of the usefulness of
the great blood purifier, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, the more grateful we are for this old
and successful family medicine, which
has accomplished so much in removing
scrofula, rheumatism and catarrh and
other blood diseases and correcting run
down conditions of the system. If you
need blood purifier, get Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla.

safe and sound footing. 1t is probable
that the best ranges have been occupied
to their capacity and possibly in GER
tain cases they-have been over stocked.
Development is possible only by means
of improved methods
Water Situation
Water is the greatest need and after
that a better grade of livestock should
be used. Fortunately throughout the
county water may be secured by sink
ing wells and pumping by means OF
wndmills or gasoline engines. I'm
proved stock may be secured by pur-
chasing registered animals of good
individuality and placing them on the
range. AS the ranges in ella county
are rough, there should at least be one
registered bull for every 25 females in
the herd. Ordinarily natives or Mexi-
can cattle should not be used as these
are inferior and require to be maintain

market.

That there has been a distinct tendency
for the number of hogs to increase and
| it is possible that the industry may be-
come a prominent one in the future.
Certainly there is a great demand for
| hog products and conditions in the
county have become favorable for their
F., production. Around the towns where
| there are considerable quantities of
garbage that may be utilized for feed
/ ing hogs it is probable that hogs would
prove especially successful. Arizona
has never been a prominent hog pro-
ducing state, but ella county ranks
well with some of the other states in
the number of hogs produced. Tuus in
1898, the county ranked fifth in point
of numbers and fourth in total value
of hogs among other counties in the
state. In 1910 there were only five
other counties reported with a larger
number of hogs. 1t is certain that
more hogs will be produced as dry
farming and irrigation systems become
| developed. The county does not pro-
duce more than 10 per cent of the hog
products consumed and local prices are
high.
Poultry
The conditions in ella county are
especially favorable to poultry produc-
ton. All kinds of poultry do well, and
prices are especially high for eggs and
poultry in the district. In 1889, it is
reported that the county produced 80;
dozen eggs which was only small
fraction of the number used. The fol
lowing year it is reported that there
were 595 chickens. so turkeys and a.
, ducks in the county. Since this time
the poultry has gradually increased il

ishing one. Poultry succeed best il
, conjunction with other kinds of farm
ing and it is probable that their de
velopment will be on the farms in tn,
, country. Not a few, however, hav,
been maintained on city lots and goo,

Tonic National Forest
No survey of livestock conditions IA
ella county would be complete withou
definite reference to the Tonic nationa
forest. This is located chiefly in Gils
, county and it is the second larges
national forest in the United States
; 1t contains 2,123,129 acres and 'thi.
produces an excellent range carrying
100000 cattle and horses. 500 swim,
and 100 goats.
The annual grazing fees are as fol
lows:
Horses go cent!
Cattle cent,
SWINE ...........--....29 cent:
Sheep and Goats ....12 cent
The short season is from April Is
to May 31st. and during this time cat
tie are given permits at the rate O
about 10 cents per heac.
According to the above, about 9
acres are required to pasture a GOV
or horse, and the government derives ;
gross return of about two cents pc
acre.
The Tonic forest is divided into diff
, ferent portions which are each given :

rapid increase. When the last census
was taken ella ranked fourth among
counties of the state in numbers and
seventh in total value of horses.
There are some very superior saddle
horses in the county. Some of these
are of American trotting blood and
others of thoroughbred and Steel Dust
stock. Unfortunately most of the
horses in the county are small animals
which are of little value. They con-
sumo considerable range and are worth
little when marketed. OF recent years
there has been a tendency to round up
such horses and send them to market
and their places have been filled by
improved kinds of horses and cattle.
1t is doubtful whether the horse bust
ness in the county has been a success;
the chief reason for failure being the
inferior sorts used
Mules
In the early days mules were held
in high esteem in ella county for it
is reported that a German prospector
traded The Nugget Mine" for mule
The following is report of the mules
in Arizona at different times:

Mules were used extensively in the
early mining days for pack and trans
portation purposes. These animals
We're desirable for hauling supplies tC
camps and for bringing ores from the
mines to smelters and refining plants
In this way he proved himself to be
a valuable asset to the pioneers. There
was a rapid falling off in the number
of mules in the county after railroad
connections were established.
In 1898 there were 119 mules reported
in the county. ella ranked fourth
among the counties in point of num-
bers and value of mules. The follow
ing year the census reports show that
there had been an increase of only
four
Mule raising should be especially
profitable in the county. The animals
are hardy, heat resistant, and bring
coed in the business, one should Sc
lect large mares and breed them to g
large jack to get size. 1t also seems
a profitable venture to breed jinnies
by using jinnies and a large stallion
by means of artificial impregnation.
Beef Cattle
There were fed cattle in northern
Arizona before the early seventies. Nc
doubt some of the animals that were
taken to Prescott in 1884 found theil
way to the White Mountains. During
the seventies, the range cattle business
became a prominent industry in the
county. 1t is probable that Colonel c
p. Head and George Hanee near Camp
Verde, Hook, Cline Brothers and the
HAIRLESS on Tonic creek, and Marian
Standard on upper Salt river were
among the early pioneers in the cattle
business in ella county. s. F. Gerald
and Robert Pringle were also among
the early stockmen of the county. The
odd John Gray Ranch" was one of the
earliest and best in the county.
The following is a list of the number
of beef cattle recorded in ella
county, according to census reports.

NAVY TAKES OVER A BIBLE BOAT

The Good Will, beautiful motor

Bible society from this city to Pana-

for the vessels that pass through the

the motor boat to the government for
use as a patrol boat. The transfer was
made at the request of the navy de-
partment.

The number increased to 2,415 in 1910
and probably there are more in the
county at the present time.
Sheep Driveways
One of the most interesting phases
of ella county from the livestock
standpoint is the sheep driveway
through the Tonic national forest This
is ten miles in length and averages
about two miles in width. 1t was eS-
tablished in 1908 for the purpose of
allowing sheep a passageway to reach
the emi-desert winter range in the
vicinity of Congress. Wickenburg and
Hot Springs Junction. There are on
an average of 100000 sheep that pass
this driveway annually. These cross
the forest in trailing bands in a north
easterly and southwesterly direction
through the entire reservation. Sheen
have thirty days to cross the forest on
the trail. During the crossing season.
the forest service details about four
men to supervise, the work. There is
no charge made for crossing permits
which must be secured from rangers
in charge before sheep are allowed tC
cross.
Reasons for Moving
The reasons for moving sheep are:
l. To change from a national forest
/ to another national forest.
| 2. From a national forest to oper
range.
| g. To pass from open range-t to ope1
range, passing through the nationa
| forest.
4. For shearing, dipping. lambint
and marketing.
! There are two special seasons in tn,
year when the driveways are used
! The spring season enables sheep to g
north and it usually begins in Marcl
and ends by June first. In the fal
! these driveWays are used to enabl
sheep to pass from mountain range
on their way south to desert ranges
which takes place sometime between
! October and December Is. There is
regular network of these driveways il
northern Arizona. At the establish
ment of the forest reserves, areas wer
, set aside to enable stock to pass freely
They are carefully selected and placed
!
| Driveways are added as demand
arise. The length of time allowed t,
! pass through a driveway is sufficient
! but the sheep are not allowed to delay
or to trespass beyond a specific,
width. To make certain that the reg
ulations are adhered to there are spec
ial agents detailed to supervise TIL
crossing by the forest service.
Goats
! The number of goats in ella count!
has never been great. In 1898, specia
government report, states that Their
We're 4,4S4 goats in the county and Gil;
! ranked first in point of numbers an,
also value at that time. The 1900 cen
sus credits the county with 12,152 goats
During the last Is years, the numbe
of goats has decreased rather than in
! creased, there being, according to tn,
1900 census 3,0S3 goats in the county.
Hogs
The hog industry has not been prom
inent in ella county This is due t,
the fact that few, crops have been pro
duced suitable for feeding them. Tn
most reliable statistics regarding tn
number of hogs in the county at diff
ferent periods are those of the censu
