LIVESTOCK AND
 RANGES IN ARIZONA

Light rain Monday night over south- central and northern counties while inappreciable in places was generally beneficial to desert sections. The weather has been generally clear and mild and the prevalence of high winds have all tended to clear winter ranges of snow. Droughty conditions con- tinue in the south and some feeding is being done in the Fort Bayard sec tion. An abundance of feed and wat CT is enabling stock on the northeast ern plateau to hold up well. The ob- server of the weather bureau at Flag. staff reports as follows: Ground moist but no water running. No snow in the timber except in most sheltered places; snow on the mountains very much below normal only the north slopes at the higher levels being cov- cred to shallow depth. Some early blowing being done east of the moun- tains. Stock wintered higher up than usual and are in a better condition than usual as dry feed has been &C., cessible at all times. Ground moist enough for good farming and range conditions, but no reserve, and if no more than normal precipitation during, spring, stock water will be scarce"

THE FEDERATED CHURCH

Both special services last Sunday were well attended The program in the evening in the interest of the Campfire Girls and Boy Scout move ment was very interesting and in- structive. The fact was revealed that there is great need of a leader for a new troop of girls and also for an other troop of boys. Will some one volunteer for this work? Both of these movements afford wonderful opportunity on the part of both the leaders and the boys and girls. The town and the churches should take greater interest in the youth and SUD- port the leaders in their efforts.
 Remember the revival meeting be- gins the 9th of March. Let us spend much time in prayer that a revival may start in our own heart. Special committees will immediately be ap- pointed to organize for more effective work during the revival Cottage prayer meetings will be inaugurated, let us be ready when the evangelist arrives. One more Sunday service before March 9th. Let us pray God will guide us in those two services to make them count for very great in terest in the coming of His kingdom. The message next Sunday morning will be: Gods Platform of Redemp- ton" Evening, Self Inspection. |" We wish everybody to feel welcome to come.

There is little difference of opinion as to the plants to be seeded on rich well-drained land. Timothy is seeded alone if the hay is to be sold on the market, and timothy and clover, often mixed with redtop, where part or ali of the hay is utilized on the farm. Some of the advantages of these plants are that they have good seed habits especially timothy and redtop. Red clover is a deep-rooted legume, and has a beneficial effect on succeeding crops.
 Timothy is considered by feeders rhe best hay for horses, and clover, or clover and timothy mixed produce better yields and are excellent for cat tie and sheep. The comparatively long period during which these plants may b" left standing without serious de. terioratiOn before cutting, together with the fact that the time of their maturity interferes little with the har- ve sting of the cereals and other farm work, have much to do with their pop- ulurity.
 l ue IlOSl SClIOuS ODJeCllOn 10 the rel clover and timothy mixture is due to the different in time of their ma- trrIty. the former usually being ready to. cut two weeks before the latter. For this reason mammoth clover, a va riety of the common red, which is somewhat later in maturing, is some times substituted for red clover in the seed mixture.
 There are many soils along the southern border of the area under dis cuSsiOn which will give a larger hay yield if seeded to orchard grass, tall osts-graSs, and dislike clover than if seeded 10 timothy, redtop and red cIo- yer. These soils are usually poor in organic matter and are inclined to be sour. It is important that this mixture be cut when the plants first head out, for if harvesting Is delayed they will make a tough, less palatabIe hay. This is especially true of or chard grass. If cut early, however, this hay will be relished by all classes of live stock. For general use in the localities referred to, the bulletin recommends the following mixture:

Steam Defects Lightning.

It would seem that a building 5000 feet above the sea level should be protected by lightning rods, but the astronomical observatory at Mount Etna has not, and does not, need such protection. The observatory Is near the summit of the volcano, and the stream of vapor constantly rising from the crater acts as a natural conduc- tor, draining the electricity out of the clouds, so that lightning is seldom seen there.

HISTORY REVEALED BY DEBRIS
Explorers Will Think of That of the Present Day.

When the archeologist wishes to know which of two civilizations is the older he seeks place where the debris of one Is piled upon that of the other -superposltion, he calls it, Clark Wissler writes in Harper's. Again, if he wishes to determine the periods in the development of a single city he seeks out the places where the daily refuse was dumped. Naturally, the bottom of the dump is the older, the top the most recent. Experience has shown that pottery decorations and styles are subject to frequent changes and that where pottery Is made numer- ous fragments find their way to the dump, where they form successive lay CTS in order of their dates.
 The first effective use of this method was in the valley of the Nile, where Hes the refuse of the ages, in the strata of which was found the key to the history of early Egypt. The same method has been applied to the valley of the San Juan in New Mexico, in which lies the Animas river and this ruin, and to the neighboring valleys where similar ruins are found. The extensive researches of Rdder, Nor ris and Nelson have established a rela- tive chronology for the pottery types ta this valley.

WARE WASTE AND
 WEAR WELL!
Human Bodies Are Poisoned by Their Oron Waste. Most Illnesses
 Are PreUentobLe.

The human body has to beheated and fine foods burned inside the body pro- duce muchw All this waste should be removed from the body regularly, thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative organs,-which are the bowels, kid neys, skin, and to some extent the lungs. These should act in harmony if the bowels are inactive extra effort is required of the others, which easily become deranged. Many medicines will force bowel action temporarily but the after effects are harmful. Many remedies are adver- tised, some of which have proven year after year to be reliable, effici- ent, and without harmful action or effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex- ample. For over 70 years Beech am's has been a household word all over the world 70 years of use by all sorts of folks, men, women and even children, have proven first, that Beecham's Pills do what is claimed for them; second, that they are harmless, do not produce bad effects. Some medicine forces Nature to unnatural action. Other medicines, like those contained in. Beecham's Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per suade and hence produce no harmful eff ects. It is common to find fam lilies in which Beecham's have been used by several generations, their use handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter.
 That's the best possible recom- mendation for any remedy. Every druggist sells Beecham's, is glad to do so because he knows that their reputation has been won by merit.

DEALS BLOW TO OLD THEORY
Writer Points Out FaIIsoy of suppo- sItlon That Prehistoric Men
 Wore All Savaoes.

The notion that all prehistoric men
 were brutes and sfVages dies hard,
 notion which has been spread by po-
 cts, painters and sculptors as we'll as
 by many thoughtless prehistorln,.s. A
 theoretic rehuttal is afforded in the
 simple consideration that any tribe in
 which brutal and savage elements pre-
 dominated would have undergone n
 retrogresSive social and racial devel-
 opment and would never have attained
 the superb qualities which we discov-
 CT in many of the Eurusiatic races Immediately on their emergence from the so-called savage state Man is not savage because he dresses in skins and uses stone and wooden weapons; he may be savage while riding in an automobile and using a rifle. The New Stone Age in Northern Europe" by John NJ. Tyler, Is refreshing for those who desire to bury the primitive savage theory once for all and to give our prehistoric ancestors credit for our fundamental virtues, both mental and spiritual, as we'll as to excuse them for certain customs which have only recently disappeared from our own civilization. Altogether, the new Stone age covered not only q very long period of time, but one of great cul- tural progress, partly autochthonous but more largely introduced from the East. The varied industries of the era, the valuable implements, the trade col .I Al mining for flint, indicate people equal, if not superior, to the average inhabi- tants of the same regions of Europe at the present time-Henry Fairfield Osborn in the Literary Review.

Water Power Put to Good Use.

An interesting example of the de- velOpment of water power is reported from Cashmere There the Jhelum river has been made to generate cleo trical power to deepen it's own chan nel, and so prevent the overflowing of 100000 acres of land, which are thus made available for agriculture. The ract that no coal was available, and that the site was 200 miles from the nearest railway station, made the use of water power imperative in this case.

"eood Queen Bess" of EnqIand.

SOO6 ~ANSil DNoo VI @ilSi
 Elizabeth, the Good Queen Bess" of England, whose reign from 1858 to 1903 was one of the most glorious periods in the history of her country, was the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, the famous Anne Boleyn. When Anne fell from favor and was beheaded, the young princess was declared illegitimate and for a time had an unhappy life. Finally, however, she was given her place in the succession, after Edward ard Mary, and during Edwards reign she lived a peaceful life While Mary was on the throne Elizabeth was more or less an object of suspicion, for it wss well known that she had been brought up Protestant, but at Mary's death in 1858 her right to the throne was unquestioned. The great issue con- fronting her was that of religion. She restored Professionalism, reinstated the English Book of Common Prayer and asserted the royal supremacy over the church, but she avoided fanaticism and showed herself willing to call to her aid Catholic as we'll as Protestant ministers.

Arabian Horse Has Less Backbone.

The tradition ascribing to the Arab horse extraordinary endurance is sus- tained by abundant evidence H. K. Bush-BrOwn, who presents the case for the Arab in the Journal of Heredf- ty, offers an explanation of the extra ordinary endurance of animals of this breed based in part on the fact that the Arab has only five lumbar verte- brae (between the ribs and the pelvis) while all other families of horses have six. This difference in structure is believed to explain why the Arab. though small, can carry great weight. The anomaly illustrates the relation between structure and function.

No Perennial Hay Plants Will ProtJuc. We'll on Poor, Sandy SoiI-Most Grass Seeds Are Small and

Prepared by the United States Depart.
 ment of AgricultureJ
 While timothy and red clover up, doubtedly nre the best hay crops on good soils in the northeastern quarter of the United States, they should by no means be depended on to produce maximum yields of soils. Other hay crops are better suited and are morr dependable in some cases and under particular soil conditions. Alsike clo- yer, for example, is better adapted to sour and moist soils than common red clover, and the two mixed together and seeded on some upIands often insures a crop where the latter seeded alone would fail. Redtop is the best wet land grass and on such land a mixture , of red-top meadow fescue, and alsike clover usually gives good returns. While no hay grasses can be depend ed upon to make commercial crop on poor land, redtop, orchard grass, and tall oats-grass are better than any others. These are facts discussed in detail in Farmers Bulletin No. 117O, Meadows for the Northern States, just issued and ready for distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 : Has Bulk of Tame Hay Acreage.
 In that section of the United States, north of and including Tennessee. and east of central Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas, is found 83 per cent Of the tame hay acreage of the nation. lightweight per cent of this acreage is seeded to timothy and clover. While these two plants undoubtedly will con- tinue to hold the popularity they now possess, there are a number of other plants which, though not so we'll known, are more desirable for particu- lar purposes and for certain conditions of soil and climate. The latter are given special attention in the bulletin.
