RANCH, STOCK, MINES.
A syndicate of Denver, Salt Lake and
Los Angeles capitalists, headed by O. P.
Poesy, have purchased the Gold Roads
mine from Joseph Burkhardt and Byron
Erickbrecher, of Los Angeles, Gala. The
price paid is $500,000. The property
comprisea a group of six mines lying
twenty.five mileas north of Kingman,
Ariz., and about nine miles from the
Colorado river. The vein averages four-
teen feet in width, and carries an average
value of $20 per ton in gold.
E. E. Hatcher, of Pagosa Springs, Ar-
obuleta county, has sent his buck herd
of 500 head to an alfalfa farm near Farm-
ington, New Mexico, for the winter.
Many of the larger range masters are
~iscarding the open-wooled sheep and are
going back to the Merinos, using mostly
the improved strains of that breed. Thisi
may have quite an effect on the mutton
business of the future and while consid- i
sting this phase of the topic we must not
forget that the people who are becoming
educated to the mutton taste will have
to be provided With meat for all time to
oome.--Field and Farm.
A contagious disease much resembling
• black-leg is attacking cattle and causing
the death of many in certain sections.
The nature of the disease and the manner
in which cattle are attacked would indi-
cate that it ia not black-leg but may be
sympathetic anthrax While it is simi-
lar to black-leg in many particulars it is[
not contagious as is black-leg from ant.
mal to animal. This form ofr_anthrax is
spread from beast to beast by buzzards
and vermin that prey on the carcasses of
dead animals. Vermin may carry the
germs to watering troughs where they
attack cattle that come to drink. Cattle
may be made immune to the disease by
vaccinatiug with black-leg preventive se-
rum.--Field and Farm.

The big cattle feeders in the southern
part of Kansesintend to handle a liberal
number of steers the coming season.
These men usally feed from 200 to 1,500
head each season. The smaller feeders
will in many instances quit the business
this year. Ben Garland and M. C.
Campbell, two of the heaviest operators
in range cattle, will take on a considera-
ble number to feed during the winter.
They have secured a lot of alfalfa hay in
Colorado and mean to use it in fattening
ateers for the market. A good deal of
cottonseed meal will be fed, a proceed-
ing which while not entirely s new one
with Kansas cattlemen is one that has
never been attempted extensively before.
Feeders find it cheaper to use thin feed
than to handle corn alone and on that
account have purchased heavily of the
meal. There will be a fair sprinkling of
half to thrRe-quarter fat steers going on
during the winter, but precious few fin-
ished cattle will be shipped.--Field and
Farm.
Colorado is already excelling New
York in the quantity and quality of the
apples produced. If any farmer thinks
that the propagation of an orchard here
in these mountains is simply a question
of planting the trees he will find himself
seriously mistaken. We have kept close
watch of Colorado orchards for more
than twenty.five years and are fully as-
sured that great skill and care must be
used in growing trees under our trying
conditions. By careless handling an or-
chard may be killed almost any season.
Old trees are less likely to be killed than
young ones but old trees are killed fre.
quently by allowing them to grow too
late in the season. It requires some skill
to kno~ just when to turn the water off
in order to let the trees ripen. Then it
is very necessary to have the water so
under command as to soak the ground
just before it freezes. This wetting pre-
paratory for winter should be given
within the next ten days if the weather
remains open.--Field and Farm.
At Bonanza the Weems people are
building a f00-ton mill to treat ore from
the Raleigh, which has been placed in
shape for immense production by but-
ting the ore at depth with a tunnel. The
new mill ia at the mouth of the tunnel
and will likely be ready to treat ore early
in the spring. The Raleigh ore was tested
in the Copper Star mill and a saving of
86 per cent of the values was affected.
The new mill will use the same process.
The failure of some of the mills in the
Bonanza district is for the simple reason
that the process is not adaotable to the
character of the ores. There is a world
of ore in the district that is easy of ac-
ccas but it nearly all contains zinc and
climes very badly. Again, there are very
few properties that produce ore of the
lame kind, so that custom mills have a
bard time in making a success. A smelt-
ing process seems to be more in demand
than mills. Certainly it would seem
wise to absolutely know that a process is
adapted to the ores of a district, or to
ores of certain mines, before putting it
in.--Salida Record.

Cuba And Tbe Tariff.
Probably the most concrete phase of
the tariff question tbat will present itself
in the near future will have to do with
the commercial relations between Cuba
and the United States. Every business
interest in the island of Cuba realizes
keenly that permanent prosperity means
!the admission of Cuba sugar and tobac-
co to the American market, either with-
out duty or else at greatly reduced rates.
Cuban independence will be a very
empty privilege if favorable access to
the American market is denied. It has
been the belief in Cuba that the conces-
sion to the United States of a series of
coaling and naval statious was to be met
by trade concessions that would restore
the prosperity of Cuban agriculture.
Rather than suffer exclusion from the
American market the Cubans would pre-
fer full annexation, with the necessary
sequel of free trade. Against the admis-
sion of Cuban sugar on especially favor-
able terms will be found arrayed the
cane augur interests of Louisiana and
the beet sugar interests of the north and
west. Just where the so-called sugar
trust is arraying itself on this question
is evidently quite puzzling to the news-
papers, for some of them declare it to be
on one side, and some of them are sure
th'at it is on the other. The truth prob-
ably is that the American Sugar Refin-
[ery ccmpany is simply proposing, in any
case, to maintain the lead in the manu-
facture and sale of the finished product,
and it conld probably adjust its business
to almost any kind of tariff arrange.
ment, It has been understood that the
recent large increase in the capital of
the ougar trust has been devoted to the
purchase of sugar lands in Cuba, and to
preparation for a prospective policy of
reciprocity, or of a~nexation and free
trade. As our regular readers are aware
this Review has always shown a keen in-
terest in the development of the beet su-~
gar industry, but we have also believed
that broad statesmanship calls for a pol-
icy looking toward full freedom of trade
between the United States and the an-
nexed islands, and that Cuba in due time
ought to become a part ()f the United
States.--From the Progress of the World
in the American Monthly Review of Re-
views.
With the restoration of order and open
traffic on the isthmus of Panama, it is ex-
pected that the navy department will be
able to withdraw some of the United

will be withdrawn on either side on the
isthmus.
Mrs. J. Fred Meyers, living near Sioux
City, Iowa, wrapped her 5 months old~

the fire in the stove had blazed up and
the room was filled with smoke. Rush-
ing to the oven she found the blanket
and the clothes in flames. The baby was
dead and its arms and legs were burned

Some Interesting Facts About Boiling O~@~p.~,~.~O~....~D0~O~O
Water.
It may seem presumptuous to suggest
that few people know how to boil water,
but such is the case. The boiling point, 8Pace Reserved
under ordinary atmospheric pressure (sea
level), is 212° Fahrenheit; this point i
changes according to the altitude. When
bubbles form on the bottom of the kettle
come clear to the surface and rupture
quietly, without making an ebullition, we
have simmering. At this point the ther-
mometer should register 180° Fahrenheit
and it is at this temperature that we
cook meats and make soups. When the
bubbles begin to form on the sides and
surface of the vessel and come toward Too busy getting
the top of the water, there is a motion in
the water, but it has not really reached
boiling point. It is only when the thor-
mometer reaches 212° Fahrenheit and
the water is in rapid motion that it can
be said to boil; aud the atmospheric
gases still continue to be given off with
the steam for a considerable time after
the water has commenced to boil rapidly;
in fact, it is diffinult to determine when
the last traces have been expelled. It is
safe to suppose, however, that ten min-
utes' boiling wi]l free the water from its
gases, make it tasteless, and render it un-
fit for the m~king of tea, coffee or other
light infusions of delicate materials.-
