CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to tho city market IL the OBJ
iect OF an investigation of practices
In various milk plants, which is be.
ing made by the dairy division OF the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have a marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon tie price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are Of two kinds; those re-
sultlng from milk souring in transit
and those from theft, spollsge and
leakage. Both are believed 10 be
avoldable If the farmer, country deal
er and city dealer will work to-
gether.
Dealers are being asked to give In.
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer, the pro-
lection provided for milk while IN
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency Of
different types OF refrigerator cars.

DAIRY
POINTS
GREATER USE OF PUREBREDs
BY Fractional Ownership of Bulls
Indiana Dairymen Get Benefit of
Such SireS.

In Harrison county, Ind, where the
"Better Sires Better Stock move
ment Is gaining Roadway, dairymen are
making wide use OF good purebrci
bulls in an economical manner. Ey
fractional ownership of the bulls they
receive the benefit OF such sires with
out incurring the entire purchase cost.
In one day recently the United States
Department OF Agriculture received
statements from three dairymen In
Harrison county, all Of whom follow
the practice mentioned. The adyan-
tage OF d choice Of several sires is the
wider opportunity 10 make desirable
mHtings. thus Fastening progress in
grading up a herd.
In many other localities dairymen
are combining their forces, sometimes
with the object OF testing bulls before
sending them To the block, sometimes
10 save expense, and sometimes to give
local predominance TO one breed or
another. An informal combination OF
this sort is often highly useful.
This is not the same thing as bull
association. The cooperative bull as
ISOLATION is an institution designed TO
accomplish these and many other OBJ
jects, on d large scale, by form of
organization which has been extensive

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY BARN
Many Failures Have Been Recorded
Because Of Poor Structures
Building Cost High.

The dairy barn is more than ever
enc of the principal factors in dairy
farm operation. In many instances
dalries have failed or succeeded be
cause OF the barn. This year prob
ably there Is more thought given to
barn construction than ever before
This Is because dairymen, farmers and
breeders have come to realize the I'm
portance Of the barn and because the
cost Of building has mounted so high

HAY IS ESSENTIAL TO CALF
Rouehase Keeps Stomach Of Animal
Distended and Allows Food to
Be Dlqested.

MIX is very satisfactory to furnish
food during the early stages Of the
Calls life, but 1t Is the roughage that
keeps the stomach distended and al
lows the food to be digested. When
a calf is deprived Of hay, 1t will not do
its best In growth. Hay Is an essential
to the young animal and should al

HIGH-PRICED LAND POSSIBLE
Dalrylna Keeps Up Fertility Of Soil
and Makes Larger Yields Of
Various Crops.

DaIrying makes high priced land
possible. Striking as this statement
may seem It is proved by the fact that
dairylng keeps up the fertility Of the
soil and makes high yields possible.
High yields show that the land Is. able
to earn a satisfactory income on 9

telegram was sent to the Russian con sul general at Chicago. who. he said, was a personal friend of De Raylan. In due time the consul general came to Phoenix. He had known De Ray Ian about as long as Hoffman had known him tor her), and his story was much the same as that of Hoffman's except with the interesting addition that the present wife" was his sec ond. The first wife was an actress and was then living in New York. She had never enlightened the world as to the sex of De Raylan. The sec ond wife said that she always be- lieved that De Raglan was a man. The child which Dr. Lowe had understood to be De Raylan's was that Of his
 wife" by a former marriage.
 In the meantime the body had been srrayed in the funeral habiliments of a woman and laid away in Greenwood
 The disposition of the property of
 Da Raylan, who died intestate, pre-
 sented something of a puzzle that brought a Chicago lawyer to Phoenix
 The widow could not have been the
 wife of a woman. and therefore was not entitled as a widow to any part 1 of the estate All that was learned of De Raylan, except what had been tclc l by those who did not know that she 1 was a woman. was that she was born 1 at Kiev. where a mother and sister l still resided: that she made her way 1 from KieY to St. Petersburg, where ] she arrived as a woman.

Previous to that time the paper was a four-page eight column sheet, the subscription price $1 a month. The form of it was changed and it was made an eight-page six-column paper. The trouble with Masten was adjusted and a 60o0-wo A. P. report was put on Two reporters beside the news editor were set at work. The price Of the paper, notwithstanding all this ad- ditional improvement and expense, was reduced to 50 cents a month. 4 speciality was made of the weekly edi tion. The paper bought q handsome covered wagon and a team of horses and a man was sent through the val ley with the expectation that he would put The Republican in every home. This spasm lasted, as we remember, only about three months. Not more than 60 new subscribers resulted.
 The paper was broke again. The management cut it down to a four page six-columns, discontinued tho telegraph. reduced the editorial. news gathering and proofreading force. to one man and then raised the subscrip- ton price back to s1 a month. It lost less than a dozen subscribers The people simply did not, care how good a paper might be or how bad.

sition. He was provided with creden- tials from the Novoe Vreyma, then the leading newspaper of Russia, the ere dentials still being among his papers.
 He remained in this country after the exposition and opened the broker age business, from which he was re- ceiving a revenue of about S100 day. There were many other papers placed at the disposal of the reporter for The Republican, and from them it was sur missed that De Raylan was the left handed daughter of a member of the imperial family, though some months later his origin was discovered and that was about the only thing in con- nection with the case that was to be added to the story The Republican printed the following morning.
 The next curious thing happened when that morning a globe trotter. q Russian by the name of Hoffman, who had arrived in town the night before, called at the undertaking place and asked to see the body. He identified De Raylan as a roommate of his and another young man in Chicago for three years. though he had not seen him" for six years. He said that he never suspected the sex of De Ray lan His effirninate appearance, Hoff- man said, WAS often a matter of 1ok- | ing, at which De Raglan always be- came infuriated. and usually drank heavily immediately afterward, as fl to make that display of manhood or more properly. malehood.
 At the suggestion of Hoffman,

As has already been stated, the newspaper started with 8 flourish and an equipment that would have been more suitable in a larger field. Within less than two years two things had been developed; one was the bottom of the barrel, and the other that the people required much more education before they should be appreciative of a real newspaper.
 It appeared that but few of them recognized local news if it was handi capped by a head. Only so-called 'lo cal briefs" were read and the three newspapers of that period vied with one another to produce the greatest number of them. Neither quality nor space was considered-only number. On one occasion The Republican broke the record we believe, with 132 such items of which the following is a sam pie: "City Marshal Billy Blankenship appeared on the street with a new sombrero yesterday morning"
 Before the end of the second year The Republican found itself unable to continue the full A. P. report and substituted for it pony service of 800 words, which did not make much of a showing on the blanket page. How | that was supplemented will be re- yealed in another story.
 Soon after that the manager of the paper had a controversy with "Old Man Masten" in control of the tele- graph line between Phoenix and Mari ccpa. He would not allow the report to be received over his wire. For g time it was brought up from Maricopa by express, the train arriving in Phoe- nix about II o'clock at night. Mas ten was not aware of this arrangement and was puzzled for time at the ap- pearance of the telegraph news in The Republican But when he learned O the way it was smuggledy into Phoenn he put a stop to that, for he controlled the railroad as we'll as the telegraph line.
 After that the telegraph was brough from Maricopa by mail, for the mai was without the Jurisdiction of Masten But it was not received until the fol lowing day.
 The finances of the paper becoming more and more straitened, the tele graph was discontinued for severa months. though matter that looked like telegraph, with date lines "an' ver'thing," appeared regularly. Tn following spring some of the stock holders of the paper sent a lot of goo' money after bad and The Republican was then in possession of funds, ant the management made one last effort

 The, pot for melting the metal for stereotyping was in the back yard in the open, Frederick said When it rained, the water would put out the fire under the pot and no stereotyping could be done. Sometimes, if an urgent demand was made for a cut for that issue, the men would stretch a canvass over the pot and attempt to melt the metal. The only stereotyping done in those days, he said, was from mats of canned stuff shipped in, and cuts needed for the next issue. The work was done by the pressmen.
 Rainy nights also brought other grief to the men Mir. Frederick said. The streets were not paved and there were very few sidewalks. The electricity nearly always failed on a rainy night and the boys had to stumble through adobe mud In the dark to their homes. It seemed to rain in those days, he said. more often than it does now.

that they regarded The Republican as a sort of charity which it was their civic duty to support. He set about disabusing their minds of that notion. His manner was not diplomatic, but it was effective. If you do not think that space in The Republican will be of value to you, I do not want your patronage. As an advertiser for sweet charity's sake you will do me more harm than good" Many of the meg chants for the first time perceived that The Republican really had something to sell.
 The independent attitude of MT. Ran dolph toward patrons is illustrated in this incident: There was then a mer- chant in Phoenix who had a son of about 22 years of age and who was re- garded by his father as a sacred bird,' a prodigy. Some dispute arose between this young man and Harvey Lee, the business manager. The for mer took the controversy over the head of MT. Lee to Sir. Randolph
 | MT. Randolphs brusqueness threw the young man into a fury and Ran dolph closed the debate with the re- mark: Get out. 1 don't want to talk with a 10-year- boy.' The young man reported the interview to his father, who hurried to the office, boil ing with anger, and demanded imme- diate audience with MT. Randolph. The
 old man was beside himself with rage When he became coherent he yelled:
 "You told - that he talked like
 a 1O-year-old boy!"
 Perhaps l was hasty," replied MT
 Randolph. Your son came in with z
 manner that irritated me, and I an
 ready to admit that l might have
 treated him unfairly. It is the policy
 of The Republican to be fair, even if i
 must now and then yield a disputed
 point, though only to an extent shor . of a surrender of it's principles anC
 self respect. I perhaps erred In tellin;
 - that he talked like a 10-year 2 old boy Anyhow, seeing that you talk ] 1t in this manner, I will be conciliator. and concede that he talked like a 15 , year-old boy" The visitor then blev up and left. We all lived, though, t 2 sec his advertising come back But b. that time The Republican was on S ' sound a basis that one advertiser nor 2 or less made no difference.

IF RAYLAIV AFFAIR WAS REMARKABLE
 NEWSPAPER STORY

With the advent of the railroad In the middle eighties, Phoenix became sort of crossroads to people who wis ited the Southwest. Men of promi- nence. adventurers and seekers after new things, found their way here, and in consequence many good stories broke, more than in any other town of it's size in the country.
 One of the most startling was the De Raylan case Nikolai De Raglan. a Russian, the head of a large brok- craze business in Chicago through which Russians dealt came here in the fall of 1905 accompanied by Dr. Lowe of Canon City. Colo, where De Raglan. his wife and child, had spent the summer. De Raylan, who was a victim of tuberculosis. was recom- mended to a warmer climate and low CT altitude, and so came to Phoenix.
 He took lodgings for himself and the doctor at the Seventh Avenue hotel and had rooms especially pre- pared. De Raylan soon came to be known as a sport. He haunted the gambling houses until late at night, playing almost necessarily at roulette. He smoked a great deal and drank a little. He did not make many ac- quaintances. He was small, effeminate in appearance and 40 or 45 years of age.
 One evening about o'clock he died suddenly in his lodgings and the body was taken to Mohn X Driscoll's. Half an hour later the telephone of The
 Republican rang furiously. George Driseoll was talking; he wanted to see the writer immediately. On my
 arrival at the undertaking establish ment found Mir. Driscoll very white l his hair rumpled and sweat standing !, on his forehead.

 said, almost whispering. De Raylar 1 was a woman. Dr. Lowe was called ! He was speeches. with amazement l For five minutes he stood without q ! movement. He then said that ht | never suspected the sex of De Raglan

 The late Charles A. Dana once etucidated this point for the edi .ieatIon of a young reporter. Said MT. Dana: "If dog bites a man, That Is not news, that is a thing of Roo frequent occurrence, but # man bites a dog, that's news" The news" herein reproduced is of a kind that always will be news to those who had not heard it re- psrdless of the flight of time since It's occurrence.
 More important things than any reproduced on this page nave been recorded by The Republican, but they described accomplish ments which by their very ac- ompishment ceased to be news.
