FORT HUACHUCA
BY Pvt. |. II. Johnson

Mrs. B. Green is visiting her sisters
in Douglas and incidentally doing a
little Christmas shopping.
The entire regiment assembled at
headquarters Thursday afternoon at
lis and listened to a good lecture on
discipline, oath and obligation by
Lieut.. Col Kuznick. The whole force
was unified by the lecture and it was
all afternoon talk among the men.
Mr. Young, forest ranger. came
into post a few days ago and told Of
great experience he had in trapping
a fox. The trap was set but the
bait was hooked to the branch Of a
tree. The fox made a leap for the
bait and fell in the fork Of the tree
with all four feet clear of the ground
and was then captured by Mr.. Young.
The trap makers will soon go into
bankruptcy If this is kept up.
Hats off to the Universal Ford car.
Mr. Dalton, a rancher, living near
the post, came in a few days ago and
for some reason was late getting out.
He accidentally ran his Ford into a
two-foot ditch near Station hospital.
Five or six men helped him rescue the
Ford and after examination, it was
found that no harm had been done
the little Ford. He merely cranked
his car and went on his way rejoicing.
An Old Maids ball was given Sat
urday night by the o. E. S. at Masonic
hall. The dance was successful, but
we cannot say how the old maids
came out.

Sandrige, went to Bisbee, Friday, in

Just two miles east Of Hereford, the

threw all the occupants to the ground.
In the car we're, Mrs. Sandrige, her
three children. Mrs. Stewart and a
male passenger. None of them re.

also one dozen eggs in the car and on
examination, it was found that not an
egg was broken. The car was righted

best to feed them three to three and

Famous Legends.

The Schloss Eltz, famous old castle
on the River Moselle. destroyed by fire
recently was the only castle of the
scores along the MOselle that had
never been captured by storm, never
surrendered and never despoiled. 1t
was built early in the twelfth century,
and the territory ii governed became
famous because of the "peace of Eltz,"
a peace that was regulated by an oath
taken by all subjects of the ruler, and
by his own family. The oath provided
that anyone who killed or injured any
one else should be banished forever.
Guests were obliged TO take the oath
upon entering the castle. and were
governed by it as long as they stayed
In the territory.
The castle had four chateaux, one
each for four branches of the family,
and these circled the castle house
itself. Many legends grew from the
old walls, the best known being that
of Agnes, beautiful girl who refused
to wed with a rival lord, and when the
lover appeared at the castle gates with
an army TO seize her she donned armOr
and led the attack that resulted in his
death and the defeat Of his army. AS
the soldiers fled. however, bowman
turned and sent an arrow that found
a place in the heart Of the girl. Her
armor is still shown at the castle with
the hole in the breast where the ar
row entered.

ORIGIN OF AYRSHIRE BREED
Scotch Cattle Are Quick, Brisk and
Seem to Have Abundant Store
Of Efficiency

The Ayrshire breed originated in
the county Of Ayr, in southwestern
Scotland. In that region, which bor-
ders on the Irish sea, the surface Is
rolling and has much rough woodland.
Pastures, therefore, are somewhat
sparse and 1t is necessary for animals
to Craze large areas In order to OBJ
tain sufficient feed.
II Is only within the last hundred
years that Ayrshires have had type
well enough established to be. entitled
to the designation of breed. No exact
account of the different infusIons Of
blood Of other breeds into the native
Scotch cattle TO form the Ayrshire
breed is at hand. 1t is probable. how
ever. that the Channel islands, Dutch
and English cattle were all repre-
sented.
The first importation of Ayrshires
to this country was made I'm 1922,
since which time there have been fire.
qucpt impOrtatiOns into both the
United States and Canada. New Eng
land. New York and Pennsylvania
probably contain the largest number
of representatives of the breed. There
Is small distribution in the other At
lantic states and the Pacific North
west. In Canada Ayrshres have had
great popularity and the breed seems
well able to withstand the rigors of
the Canadian climate. The merits OF
the breed have not been advertised
widely; consequently 1t is not we'll
known in many sections of the United
States.
The colors of Ayrshires may vary
from medium red to very dark
mahogany brown and white. with
either color predomnating. OF late
years among breeders there has been
decided tendency toward white with
red markings. A black m,iZz!e and
white switch are desired, but are not
necessary for registration. Perhaps
the most picturesque feature Of ami
mails of the breed is their long horns,
which turn outward, then forward
end upward. Another point of which

MILK ESSENTIALS AND COST
Results Of Two-Year Study on Number
OF Dairy Farms in Northwest
ern Indiana.

twO-year study OF the cost Of milk
production undertaken comparatively
by the United States dairy division and
Purdue university, on q number Of
dairy forms In northwestern Indiana,
has resulted In figures on the require
ments for producing 100 pounds Of
milk In winter and summer. To give
permanent value 10 the results, these
requirements were determined in
pounds OF feed, hours Of labor, etc.
and by substituting present costs and
values for various items q farmer can
determine very closely what II is cost
ing him to produce 100 pounds Of milk
at the present time.
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds; dry
roughage, 27.4 pounds; silage and 9TH
er succulent roughage, COL pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
$O.014; pasture, 004 acre; human la
Dor, % hours; horse labor, O.2 hour;
overhead and other costs, $0393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 3S.6 pounds; dry roughage, 668
pounds; silage and other succulent
roughage, 147.6 pounds; hauling and
grinding concentrates, $0O3; bedding
2O.3 pounds; human labor, 2.5 hours;
horse labor. .03 hour; overhead and
other costs, $0.385.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost Of producing milk was consd-
srably higher in winter than in sum-
mer; and while this holds true as far
as the gross cost is concerned, the fig
nres obtained in this investigation
show that the net cost of producing 100
pounds Of milk from November to
April was only Is per cent higher than
the cost from May TO October, inclu-
sive, and that the total cost varied only
slightly from month to month within

A Type of Ayrshire Whose Record lss
Milk 21,123 Pounds; Butterfat,
1883 Pounds.
breeders of the Ayrshire are very
proud is the uniform, square, level
udder with long body attachment
which is common among the cows.
Quick, brisk actions are character
istic of the animals, which seem al
ways to have an abundant store Of
energy and to be exceptionally alert.
Ayrshires have highly nervous dis
position, which is useful for both pro-
duction and self-support. Probably
none of the other dairy breeds can
compare with the Ayrshires in ability
to obtain a livelihood on scant pas
lures. Their ability as "rustlers" has
made them very useful In sections
where there is much rough land In
pasture.
In weight the COWS may vary from
900 to 1900 pounds (average about
1000 pounds) bulls weigh between
1,4OO and 1000 pounds (average about
1900 pounds). The animals are no.
ticeahly compact in body. with ten
dency to smoothness over all parts.
Formerly they were criticized for
their short tcats. hut that fault has
been removed largely by careful
breeding. AS breed Ayrshires are
generally very hardy and show great
constitutional vigor.
AT birth the calves weigh from 55
to. so pounds, are very vigorous, easy
to raise. and make rapid gains.
Heifers reach maturity of frame at
an age between the Holstein and the
Jersey.
MIX from Ayrshire cows contains
comparatively little color and has the
fat in uniformly small globules which
average smaller in size than In any
other breed. For these reasons the
milk sometimes fails to show dis
tinct cream line. by which the con-
sumer often judges the quality of the
milk. Ayrshire milk. because Of the
small fat globules, stands shipping
well without churning, and In other
respects It Is well adapted to the mar
trade. The percentage OF the
butterfat in the milk Is medium, and
consequently there is no difficulty In
conforming to local or state butterfat
standards.

RIGHT DRAFT OF EvENERS
First Thing to Do Is to See That They
Are Working Free From Fric-
tion and Binding.

When figuring on the draft of even
ers, and the allowance to be given, the
first thing to see to Is that the even
ers are working free from friction and
binding. After that, the next mat
ter Of Importance is whether or not
the part of the load to be carried by
each horse is fair to the horse. Rough
ly, 1t will be found that horses work
