An Old Time CatIeman
Through Shipping
W. A. Fiege Of Dragon, Ariz.,
Closes Another Success
ful Season.

Several years ago w. A. Fiege
of Dragon, Arizona, was one of
the "livewire" cattle buyers of
the country, but during recent
years he has laid off and has
been devoting his time to the
breeding business entirely, at
his excellent ranch in the Dra-
goons. This season Mr.. Fiege
took another whirl at the buying
game, and the old timers are
glad to see him back in the
game, because he is a liberal
buyer and is never "niggardly"
when it comes to classing and
receiving stuff. All spring he
has been moving across the
country at a rapid rate in his big
Cadillac-eight, buying and get
ting several thousand head of
cattle ready to ship, This week
the last train went out for FL
Paso. He then put on his Sun
day store" clothes and went to
his home in Arizona.
Mr.. Fiege will be in the mar
ket again this fall and next
spring for many thousand cattle,
and his friends will be glad to
deal with him. Arizona Cattle

SOapweed Feeding Not Harmful

President A. d. Grille of the
Agricultural College says: THE
idea prevailed that the feeding
of the yucca or soapweed would
disarrange the stomach or di-
gestive tract of the animal. On
the tornado range reserve in
Dona Ana county Mr.. Turney fed
two steers eighty to ninety days
exclusively on soapweed and cot
tonseed meal. Both steers have
been killed and very carefully
examined by the college nutri-
tion chemist and veterinarians,
and they found the digestive
tract in a most healthful and
normal condition. The meat was
of splendid flavor and good tex
ture.

THE MAN WHO WINS


The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any particular plan,
Not 'blest with any particular luck
Just steady and earnest and full Of
pluck
When asked a question, he does not
guess,
lie knows and answers "No" or
"Yes":
When set task the rest can't do.
He buckles down till he puts it
through
Three things he's learned: that the
man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That II pays TO know more than one
thing we'll;
And to hold the tongue when others
tell.
So he works and waits till one fine
Gay
There's a better job with better pay;
AND the men who shirked whene'er
they could
Are bossed by the man whose work
made good.
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks.
Who uses his hand, his head. his eyes
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

SPLENDID CROP OUTLOOK

The outlook for the crops in this
country is surprisingly fine, weather
conditions having been almost ideal
TO this time. Reports from the win
ter wheat states generally say that
there is moisture enough in the
ground to mature the crop. The sit
uation as to spring wheat is equally
favorable, and at this time a total
wheat yield of 9O0,OO0,OOO bushels is
indicated. Oats are now so far along
and look so we'll that big crop ap-

Of the corn acreage had not been
planted, but now the planting is COM
pleted under uniformly good condi-
