THE ONLY FLOCK OF "TUNIS" SHEEP IN ARIZONA NOW OWNED BY. B. F. SANGUINETTI AND ARE NOW ON HIS FINE NEW RANCH

For time past the United States government has been exceedingly anxious propagate the Tunis breed of sheep because of the adaptaby of that particular breed the arid states of the vest Arizona and California both furnished with small number of these sheep last year rhe experiment farm Phoenix taking one lot and an experiment farm in Southern California taking the other Recently determined make flock of the two lots and place the flock in the hands of who would see to it that the breed was kept pure
 Through the good offices of Mr. Ape of the local experiment farm Mr. E. F. Sanguinett induced to take inc sheep sight unseen paying about $50 per head for the flock, consisting of 27 ewes and rams.
 The combined flock reached Yuma last Saturday. some
 fifteen lambs having been added the flock of transit and since that time several other ewes have added twins to the flock They immediately transported to Mr. Sanguinettis ranch few miles above GadSden which he has named the St Francis ranch of compli ment to his handsome young and heir.
 The "Tuns sheep is unlike any sheep ever saw, in that it has red face, while many of the little lambs al most entirely red here and there spot white As they mature however the color changes white the face which remains red The Tuns sheep par cuarly noted for it's ability stand torrd weather and that why the government anxious for Mr. Sangunet Ii to experiment with them'h Yuma Project He will have all his dches the St Francis and Santa Ana ranches fenced off and will give the sheep full sway along these banks They will not only keep the ditches clean of weeds but they will grow fat and strong from the bermuda grass that lines these dtches If these sheep prove prof table Mr. Sanguinetts bunch of hogs he will be known as the "sheep king.

 The need of determining what this (mesa) land

 tne or any other man who has not tried the soil

 Kelly the Cop' doesn't seem to know the difference between "citrus fruit and decduous fruit For his in for nation will say that citrus fruits are organges grapefruit lemons and all fruits of that character whl deciduous fruits peaches apples pears and the like will also say for his information that the mesa lands hav ALWAYS been exploited from the standpoint of theiI adapabity to citrus fruit culture. That has been per ecty demonstrated If he wants to wait until the goV crnment demonstrate that all farm products can be cessfuy grown the mesa why, he is simply crazy with the itch We to wait for such thing for the planting of those 45OOO of Mesa land oranges grapefruit and the like will give Yuma heritage that other city in America possesses.

Following railway accident recent

circles when the report was made that
only brakeman had been killed. Only
a brakeman! And there were hun
dreds of others waiting to fill his
shoes.
Only brakeman TIis name was not
given in the telegraphlc report of the
accident. He had not made name to
which the world would pay tribute.
There were only few friends who

Home, family, friends he had left in
the land Of oppression to come to
America, the country of opportunity.
Alone, ignorant, unframed In Ameri-

YOU will find the brakeman, toiling
sleeplessly. hopefully, uncomplaining-

ONE OF WORLDS CURIOSITIES
Fir Tree In Belgium Has Characters.
tics Unlike Any of Its Kind So
Far as Known.

What Is claimed to he one of the
most curious trees in the world was
found in Belgium by NJ. Louis Pire,
president of the Royal Botanical So
ciety of Belgium. 1t is Il fir tree, still
standing at last account, in the forests
Of Aliaz, Canton Of Vaud.
'"This particular tree" reports Pro-
fessor Pire, Stands 4,5OO feet above
the sea and Is surrounded by forest
of frs, which it exceeds In height by
80 to 40 feet.
"The trunk of this tree Is ten me-
ters, or q little more than thirty feet,
In circumference at the base. At about
a yard from the ground 1t puts out,
on the south side, seven offshoots.
which have grown into trunks as strong
and vigorous as those of the other
trees In the forest. Bent and gnarlcd
Mt the bottom, these side-trunkS soon
straighten themselves up and rise per-
pendicularly and parallel to the main
stem.
"Another most curious fact IS that
the two largest sidetrunks are con-
nected with the principal stem by sub
Quadrnngular braces resembling grid
ers These beams have probably been
formed by an anastomOsing of
branches, which, common enough
among the angio-sperms, is extremely
rare among conifers."

LinoIeum Substitute.

An inexpensive and sanitary substi-
tute for linoleum can easily be made
by pasting together the sheets of
brown paper used for wrapping up
goods. After thoroughly cleaning the
floor sheet of the paper should be
pasted down and allowed to dry. Then
second sheet is laid down and al
lowed to dry before laying n third
sheet.
If pattern floor covering Is de-
sired, ordinary wallpaper serves the
purpose admirably. 1t is pasted to
the top sheet of brown paper already
laid.
The whole being thoroughly dry,
coat of sizing Is applied and left to
set, after which coat of good var
nish completes the process. This floor
covering has all the advantages Of real
linoleum and may be washed and pol
ished in the usual way.

Ben Franklin's Simple Diet.

1t Is amusing to read how Ben
Franklin thrived on n biscuit, or n
slice of bread, a handful of raisins, or
tart from the pastry cook and a
glass of water, varied at times by
boiled rice or potato, or a hasty pud-
ding of his own making. Upon this
fhre grew Americas greatest states
man and the worlds greatest philoso-
pher. The rich and ambitious youth
of these days would scorn such diet,
holding that 1t was the eating that
made the man, But Benjamin not
only saved time and money by his new
diet, but as he says: II made greater
progress from that greater clearness
of head and quicker apprehension
which generally attended temperance
In eating and drinking" This abstemi-
Gus life did not seem to detract from
his health, but rather contributed to his
longevity, for he lived to. be eighty
four years old.

Formation and Color.

The iridescence of nacre, or mother
of-pearl, is a matter of form and not
actual color. In fact, all "changcab!e'
colors are more or less the result OF
form even where there is pigmentation
beneath, such as in certain ribbed Silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal, as file, there Is
the same play of colors.
In the case of mother-of-pearl an in
teresting experiment has been made.
An impression of the pearl was TAX
en- upon pure white wax. 1t was then
found that the apparently smooth sur
face of the pearl had still sufficient
Irregularities to Impress upon the wax
a surface that resulted in similar color

Corn Dumplings.

Make stew from a cheap cut q
meat cut into small pieces, with tn.
desired amount of carrots, onions and
potatoes. Pour enough boiling water
over cupful of cornmeal to make o
soft dough; let cool; then mix in Oh :
cupful of flour sieved with two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder; add one
egg and mix thoroughly; form into
small round balls and put them into
the stew for the last 25 minutes Of
cooking.
Dish up on hot platter, pour the
gravy over all and arrange the dump
lings around as border. These will
take the place of bread at the meal.
These corn dumplings are especially
nice served with chicken potpie accom-
panied by either jelly or relish.

attempt the publicity of the standardl-
zution of land to crowd out unworthy
realty propositions. You told me you

that direction when ! was with you,
and ! have ventured to reinvade the

He had set the old man on fire with
enthusiasm over his pet hobby. For
I'm hour Mr.. Bartelme eXpounded his
theories, examined the manuscript and
overwhelmed Trescott with praise for
an honest endenvOr to be of some use
to his fellow men.

affectionately. II have underestlmated

And thus came happiness, fame and
