Recent market values for meat ami
mails have caused renewal of interest
in the raising of live stock on farms
7 of all-sizes. The study of raising and
disposing of crop to the best advantage
also suggests the more general and
more careful production Of live stock.
The manufacturers success is due
largely to his ability to buy raw mate
rial at the lowest prices, to sell the fin
ished products through an efficient dis
tribution system, and to- take advant-
age Of more economic methods of prod
uction. He builds up system to eli
inmate waste, ineficiendy, and extra

One means Of INCREASING our supply
of food is to prevent loss from hog
cholera. Keep the hog house and lot
clean. This is important in preventing |
outbreaks. IL any of the hogs show
signs Of sickness notify the state live
stock. sanitary authorities, the county
agent, or local veterinarian. Steps |
taken in the early stages Of the disease
can probably prevent loss, but il de-
layed many hogs may die.
II the chickens, must be confined on
account Of bad weather, provide. a good
straw litter to which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and
healthy. When chickens that have been
accustomed to free range are closely
confined this frequently checks their
for the time being unless
they are made contented in their new
quarters. Provide green feed for them
also.

welcomed President Wilson to the

from the parliamentary tribune of the

Mr.. McGonaele was presented to
Governor Campbell today and on
Monday the two Utah men will meet
the members of the Legislature Off
cially at a luncheon to he given in
their honor
Priefly outlining the object of their
trip, Mr.. WINS and Mr.. McGonagle
said:
Utah is sending us here with a
straight proposal to purchase 1850
square miles of northern Arizona
peopled by about $50 inhabitants. We
will not offer trade because we do
not believe Arizona would have any
interest in such a proposal.
"Our state wants the land because
1t is standing in the way of our own
development and is at present of very
! little use to Arizona. The state line
! bars us from building roads to sec
| tons in our own state, since the con-
/ figuration of the country, governed
! by the Grand Canyon. would force
| our highways into what now is Ari-
| IONA Territory to reach points IN
| Utah. In one section we have to ira
vel one thousand miles TO reach a
| county seat One of our main roads
! from salt Lake runs to the state line
/ and then stops near st. George,
! though one branch enters Nevada.
I We want to finish that road but Ari-
IONA will not help us. If we could
| purchase that strip we would COM
plete the highway down through
/ Kingman and give Arizona a first
| class road connecting with Phoenix
providing we could reach an agree
/ ment for a bridge over the Grand
I Canyon"
Mr.. Wins, who in the early days
had much of the debated territory
/ under his control as a ranch, said
| last night the great majority of the
/ settlers there were from Utah.
Men have been killed there and
cattle slaughtered" said Mr.. WINS,
land nobody has been brought TO
! book. 1t has been no mans land. Our
| people from Utah who are in there
do not get the protection of the law
! to which they are entitled"
The Arizona side of the case may

The Kaibab forest in the strip is
declared to be the greatest in the
state, the federal government having
offered to sell 3,000,000.000 feet of
lumber from it as an inducement to
start a saw mill industry there. Fur
Their, it has been established that

grade copper throughout the terri

boundaries to he created.
The main efforts of the conference
leaders are being directed toward the
consolidation of their own forces and
in gaining adhesion to the fundamen-
tai principles which are to govern the
future relations of states, before dele
gates from its central powers are ad-
mitted into the conference.
a great deal has been done to settle
the various territorial disputes sub
mitted to the society of nations when
it is organized, A notable success in
this direction has been in the conflict
between Italy and JuGo-Slavia over
territory in the eastern Adriatic.
As these difficulties are overcome,
however. others appear in the shape
of demands by some elements for the
imposition of harshor terms upon
Germany than are contained in the
present aUmistce agreement, not only
for the present, hut also for the dis
tant future. Some of these proposals
are that Germany should be kept
Elockaded indefinitely, even after the
signing of the final peace treaty. in
order to permit France ana Belgium
to rchahilitate their injured indus
