Early in the summer of 1923, a rich
and extensive lode Of mineral was dis
covered on the point Of the hill near the
Mineral Point depot, which was immed-
lately followed by other discoveries and
the locality soon became known through
out the whole region az ''The Mineral
Point. :" This news spread rapidly and
had the effect of bringing during that
year of 1923 a great number of miners
and others, many of whom constructed
cabins on either side Of throughfare
which is now called Commerce street.
Among those cabins was store, black
smith shop, tavern drinking house and
public boarding house, thus forming
for those days a very respectable ham
let, to which by natural transition
was given the name Of Mineral Point. I"
In this manner in 1893 a name, the
meaning of which was indicated by the

Can You Detect the Inconsistency :?

The government is urging the keep
ing of more poultry, and is recommend
ing standard bred poultry. At the same
time the government controls and fixes
express rates, and one and half rate is
charged on fowls shipped for breeding
purposes That is, the express rate on
fowls for breeding is so per cent higher
than that on fowls shipped to market.
Wherein is the encouragement to buy
standard bred stock, as urged Can you
detect the inconsistency Would it not
be more in keeping with the request if
the rate on breeding stock were lowered
25 or so per cent? Efficiency and com
mon sense are jewels, but new federal
heads are necessary to the securing of
them

HAND PUMP BARREL SPRAYER
Implement Is Most Desirable and Can
Be Bought and Maintained at
Small Expense.

For the average farmer whose Or
chard is small and of minor impor-
,tance in his farm production, the ordi-
nary hand pump barrel sprayer is the
most desirable. 1t can be bought and
maintained at comparatively small
cost, while the initial cost of the large
power sprayer is so great as to make
tate about its purchase. In some cases
a neighbor or one who makes bust
ness Of doing custom spraying may
be engaged to do the work with the
power sprayer which he owns. But
happens that one is unable to get the
work done just at the right time.

of vegetables, while field mice gain
living from stealing seed and root
crops.
These pests can be destroyed by
trapping on small areas where the In
festation IS not extensive and where it
is undesirable to put out poison.
Twelve to 20 traps an acre may be
used. The tunnels of the pine mouse
should be eXcavated sufficiently to
admit the trap on level with the bot
tom, a garden trowel being used for
digging.
: Where mice are abundant on large
areas poisoned bait should be dis
trbuted in teaspoonful quantities in
the mouse runs and at the entrance of
burrows. A mixture containing one
ounce of powdered strychnine, one
once of powdered bicarbonate of soda.
and one-eighth ounce of saccharine
should be sifted from perforated tin
box over so pounds of crushed wheat
or 40 pounds of crushed oats, mixing
the grain constantly so that the poison
will be uniformly distributed This
dry mixture may be kept indefinitely
without danger of fermentation.
Where it is necessary to use whole
oats, the poison must penetrate the
Kernels, because mice hull the oats
before eating them. Hence it is es-
sential to dissolve one ounce of strych-
mia sulphate in two quarts of boiling
water.
