WAR DESTROYING LABOR
UNIONS OF GERMANY

NEW YORK, June 27.-Recent in
formation reaching here tells of the
fearful inroads being made on the
German trade unions. These details
are furnished by last reports:
The number of labor unions was re-
duced from I'll in 1913 to $50 in 1913
The membership of the Berlin central
labor body dropped from 100000 in
1913 to 10000; Hamburg's had 49,
900 trade union members in 1913,
against 47,000 now; Dresden's men,
bership of $4,000 was cut in half.
These figures will be food for serious
thought in the coming days of peace,
which may cause the ruling classes
of the kaiserland to think of their own
safety.

CHEESE WORK GROWS IN WEST

Work to develop cheese manufac- ture in the Western states, begun in July, 1916, has resulted in twelve new cheese factories, says the annual re- port of the Bureau of Animal Indus try, United States Department of Ag- riculture. Improvement of the milk supply produced better quality of cheese and greater yields. One facto- ry reported that the improvement of the milk supply alone increased the net income of cheese at least $3,000 a year. Possibilities for expansion of cheese work in the west are said to be almost limitless, but no effort is being made to encourage the estab- lishment of factories where there are not cows or where other circumstance es prevent successful operations.

 Market Letter for
SALT IS BIG ITEM IN
 RANCHING, SAYS ARIZONAN

Ranchmen of today have items of expense running into thousands of dollars which were unheard of among cattle raisers of .25 or 30 years ago In those times they had no fences to build and keep up. Then there is the item of salt which is furnished now to cattle on the big ranches which makes up a large expense account. Early day ranchmen made no pretentions of salting their herds, which were scat tered over miles of open range.
 "This item of salt alone is now very expensive" Abner Wilson, manager of the Double Circle ranch located in the San Carlos and Apache Indian reservations in Graham county, Ariz., made this statement. "We use ninety tons of salt year oil the ranch" Mr. Wilson went on to say. "The ranch is 35 miles from railroad, and from the shipping point to the ranch the salt has to be transported on burros and mules. A few years ago rock salt, the kind we use, was very cheap, but now the price has advanced until it costs us $45 ton delivered on the ranch. This does not include distrib- uting it at the 45 salt grounds, where it is placed. At these salt grounds the cattle know where to find it and they visit these spots regularly.
 Formerly we had no fences, but now something like 300 miles of four wire fencing must be kept up. Most of the posts used in our fencing are iron, and cost Al cents each. They stand B feet apart. Men must ride these fences daily and keep them in repair, as we cannot let steer valued at $100 get out and stray away. For merly we could hire Indians at less than s1 day to help us, but now we pay them $2 day. Many of these Indians cannot speak English, so an Indian foreman must be employed"
 MT. Wilson is widely known in ranch circles. He made his start in western Owlahoma when that state was territory many years ago. He is now president of the Panhandle and Southwestern Stockmen's Associ- ation, which will hold it's annual con- vention in Roswell, N. M., next month. Daily Drovers Telegram.

OLEOMARGERINE AND BUTTER
 ARE SIMILAR IN FOOD VALUE

The food value of oleomargerine and butter are practically identical, according to Miss Alice E. Skinner, instructor in domestic science in the Kansas state agricultural college.
 "Oleomargerine is made from pure beef fat, neutral lard, cottonseed oil, and perhaps peanut or cocoanut fat, combined with an indefinite amount of butter" said Miss Skinner. "In the east another compound has been plac- ed on the market called nut oleo. This is made entirely from vegetable oils and has a desirable nutty flavor.
 "In the past it has been thought that oleomargerine should not be sub stituted for butter in the diet of child ren. Recent investigations, however, have shown that the growth inducing substance which butter fat contains is present also in beef fat.
 "A substance which contains any fat other than butter fat, in no matter how small amounts, is by law oleo- margarine. There are many different grades of this fat, some of which con tain so large percentage of butter that the flavor cannot be distinguish ed from that of butter"

LARGE TRACT OF
 LAND IS LEASED

One of the largest leases ever made flor Parker lands was consumated the past week, when Russell Bros., of California, closed a contract with Sup erintendent A. F. Duclos for fifteen hundred acres of Indian allotments.
 This large tract of land will be put into crops the coming spring. Clear ing and leveling will begin at once, and two large tractors will arrive here next week. Three additional tractors will be put into service later in the season by the owners of this lease who believe in doing most of the heavy work around a ranch of this size by motive power.
 Russell Bros. are the owners of a 6,000-acre ranch in the San Fernan- do valley, California, and also have large interests in the Imperial valley. They own over 10000 head of cattle on their California ranches, and the land leased this week from the gov ernment will be put into alfalfa and corn for the. purpose of supplying feed for their cattle.
 The government pumping plant is being equipped with an additional unit in order to supply water to the increased acreage that will be under cultivation in the valley this season. Russell Bros. expect to !expend over $50,000 in leveling and clearing the ground which they leased this week. Parker Post.

TO FARM ON BIG SCALE
 IN THE CHINO VALLEY

The holdings of the Arizona Land & Irrigation Company, the Hassayam- pa Alfalfa Farms Company, the Jacob F. Finkelstein and others, amounting to over 30,000 acres of land in Little Chino and Lonesome valleys, near Prescott, were recently taken over by o. M. Carter, consulting engi- neer, of Chicago. This land has been successfully cultivated and to some extent irrigated by waters from Lake Watson, just north of Prescott. To irrigate more land, it is proposed to make the Lake Watson dam higher or build storage dam on Willow Creek or by doing both. Old timers here say that the Willow creek is the best dam proposition of the two. MT. Carter is now on the ground and is said to have sold 3,240 acres of this land to group of well to do farm CTS from Illinois, headed by H. E. Shaw, president Of the state bank at Behemet, Illinois. These parties have incorporated the Prescott Farms Company, with a capital stock of $350, 0,00O, and will introduce the most modern machinery for farming on a large scale. w. M. Graves, of Little Chino, has been placed in charge of the large tract of land taken over. This land has already proven won derfully productive, as is the case with most of the land hereabouts when brought under irrigation. Water stor- age can be had anywhere in northern Arizona, and when it is, wonderfully productive crops result, as the rule is that not many irrigators are needed to tide the crops ever between rains.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. II, 1918.
 Live stock receipts today were fair ly liberal, 15000 cattle, 10000 hogs, 1000 sheep, 5000 more cattle, the same number of hogs and 4000 more sheep than a week ago. Cattle were steady with fairly good demand, but hogs and sheep were lower, principally be- cause of big receipts elsewhere. Chi cago received 60000 hogs and 25000 sheep, the largest supplies of any Monday this year at that market. The car situation has improved with mod crate weather, and in few days far Eastern outlet will be established. Railroads are accepting consignments for destination east of the Mississ- ippi river for the first time in several weeks, and order and shipper buyers are returning to the market.
 Beef Cattle Steady.
 Fed steers were in liberal supply today and the market though slow, showed steady prices. The bulk oi the offerings came from Kansas and sold at $10.75 to s12.00, top price SIS. Nebraska was fairly we'll represented with sales at $11 to SIP. Idaho and Wyoming steers brought $l0.50 to $11.50. Killers are in position to increase their orders as soon as they can make liberal Eastern consign- ments without delay. The Lenten season which begins Wednesday usu- ally causes restricted demand for beef, but this year it will be of little consequence, as the use of beef is all ready restricted by meatless days.
 Demand for StOckers and Feeders.
 Demand for stockers and feeders has enlarged with mild weather and the only restricting factor in the trade is small receipts. Many inqui- ries are coming for cattle to turn on grass. Prices today were strong to unevenly higher. Most of the stock CTS sold at $9.5O to s10.75.
 Big Run of Hogs.
 More than 100000 hogs arrived at the five western markets today, the largest supply of any Monday this season. Chicago quoted prices off 15 cents. In Kansas City the market was down 10 to 15 cents on the open ing and closed 25 lower Moderate weather is expected to continue the heavy movement. The top price to- day, $16.25, was paid for choice, light, medium and heavy weight hogs, and the bulk of sales $15.90 to $16.20.
 Sheep and Lambs Higher.
 The sheep market last week was the highest for some time past, but today with fairly liberal receipts at all markets prices fell back 15 to 25 cents. Choice lambs are quoted up to $17.15, and fair to good lambs $16.25 to S16.90. Few feeding lambs are coming. Some old plain fat ewes sold at s11.25. Choice fat ewes would bring $12.75.
