PROFITJN SHEEP Feeder Sheep and Lambs Aro Now Cheap. GOOD MONEY IQ PROSPECT A Self-Evident Proposition. Good growlngtock of any kind that Is soiling bolow tho cost of production 13 always a safe Invostmont. if tho purchaser is prepared to tako good caro of it. Ho -who buys and develops such stock ia almost certain tQ tnako a good profit in doing eo. becauso production will not long continuo at a loss, wbllo consumption of staples must so on stoadlly. Not mcoy others aro buying such stock, or else It would not ho selling so cheaply, and it follows logically and consistently that when It has been grown and finished for market, there will then bo a comparative scarcity of such finished stock and such good prices will bo realized for It that a handsomo profit will result from tho deal. This roasonlng Is self-evident, and applies with especial emphasis to tho present situation in feeder sheep and lambs. Last year's conditions aro now reversed. Then nearly everybody- was crazy to feed sheep and lambs, and an Immense number were sold and shipped to tho country at about tho highest prices on record. This together with an enormous corn crop of high feeding value, a world of perfectly cured roughago and a splendid winter .feeding season were factors that combined to produce a heavy
supply of fat sheep and lambs for market during tho early part of thl3 I
year, wnue retailers 01 meats uem up prices to consumers, so that consumption was limited, with the natural and logical result of low prices and feeders' losses In most instances. In consequence of last year's unprofitable eiperlerico and present scarcity of grass and hay, most farmers and many professional feeders of sheep and lambs are now avoiding tho market, and very few aro being shipped to the country, while prices are
the lowest since 1901. In fact, feed- 1 er sheep and lambs are selling on tho ! market today for less than tho cost of production. These facts mean that early noxt year there will be a scarcity of fat sheep and lamb3 at market, and comparatively high prices tvIH prevail. Those who have the nerve to go contrary to the crowd and Invest in good, thin but thrifty feeder sheep and lambs at the present low price, will have no cause to regret their enterprising independence "when they come to market them In finished condltloa The concensus of opinion of the best minds In the trade is that sinco both prices for feeding stock and prospects for fat stock are much better than they were last year, therefore the opportunities for profit aro correspondingly better. In fact, tho whole situation 13 the reverse of last year. Now Is the time to buy, becauso range conditions aro such that most of tho sheep and lambs will come to market from tho rango regions ready for slaughter, while fewer of the feeder classes will be marketed during tho remainder of this year, and the supply .will not equal tho probable Fall demand, so that prices are likely to bo materially higher In October and November.
FALL PLANTING THE ORCHARD Br M. W. RICHARDS, Horttulnrtt Diriment. Pontae F.tprirnt Stiitoa ParJae tlntvwity Agricultural Etnioa
Fall Is. perhaps, tho best time for tho gnral farmer to sot his orchard. At this soason of tho your fnrm worU Is goiiorally slacker than In the spring and the work can thus be glvon raoro care and attention. Tho trees should ho ordered early. If you wait until late in tho season you apt to get cull stock. Order from some good, reliable flrtn that is loeatcd somewhoro near homo. If the stock is then unsatisfactory tho nurseryman Is close enough to be dealt with. Dut only trees of standard varieties. Lot tho . fhor man or the experiment stations do tho experimenting. For a homo orchard, two
seats tho exact location of tho trees which will stand forty foct ench way. in order to set tho treo In the exact place occupied by tho stake, a simple devlco has boon doslgned known as tho planting board (Fig. 1). This is a piece of board about six foot long with a notch In tho middle and a hole In each end. The board Is laid on tho ground with tho stako fitting in tho central notch. Two othor stakes aro now plncod in tho end notches and driven In place The planting board can now ho lifted from tho marker stake, tho stako removed and tho hole dug. Whon tho holo Is dug tho planting board Is replaced over tho end stakes and tho contral notch now rests over tho holo In tho same place as the original marker stake. Tho tree Is then held In tho central notch (Fig. 2) and tho soil placed about Its roots. Caro should he taken to cut off all manglod and broken roots and to also shorton In all extra long ones. Tho soil should bo thoroughly worked around tho roots and no air spaces left In contact with them. When the

pig, ipiantlng board. By means or this board the exact location of the trees can be determined after the j holes are dug. j or three troes of about five varieties of each sort of fruit will be found to be a groat plenty. This will make an orchard of from an acre to an acre and one half In size and will produce more than enough for a family of average size. Before the trees arrive the ground should bo well fitted. Plow the orchard area well and then harrow It and leave tho soil In as good condition as If you were going to sow whoat. Just as soon as the trees arrive they should be taken from the boxes and have tholr roots puddlod. This is done by making a thin mixturo of clay and water and then plunging the root systems of the troos Into It. Puddling Is done to prevent too rapid drying out of the roots. For tho farm orchard tho square system of planting will be found to be very satisfactory. The trees are
set at the corners of squares 3o or 40 feet on a side. On a small area
the trees can be set with a garden

romarkablo groups of hot springs In tho world Is situated on tho Mexican side of the Rio Grando near here. Thero aro scores of theso bubbling streams of water flowing from tho rock formation and Into a gulch that empties Into tho Rio Grando. The wators of theso springs havo been known for their medicinal and curative properties from tho time of tho first exploration and settlement of Mexico. Thousands of afllicted people have made pilgrimages to this remote reglonvand sought
tho benefits of tho thermal springs.
Notwithstanding tho fact that they are situated lu an almost Inaccessible locality nnd can only be reached by an overland Journey of more than 50 miles from tho nearest railroad point there Is never a time that health seekers may not be found camping at tho place. There aro no accommodations at the springs for visitors and many are tho primitive nnd crude devices that are rigged up to obtain tho benefit of the waters. Frequently visitors con
struct crudo adobe rooms over one of the springs and use them for sweat boxes. Tho bath tubs usually consist of digging a hole in the ground and letting it fill with the hot water, tho health seeker taking his outdoor bath In that water perhaps a canvass for a canopy to keep out the blazing sun. There is not such a thing as a hotel or eating house within many miles of tho place. The visitors must bring
their own supplies and live next to nature during their stay, whether It bo brief or greatly prolonged. The waters of these springs aro said to be good for many chronic ills. That a great number of cures that are little short of marvelous havo taken place as a result of drinking and bathing In them Is a matter of common

In the days when tho Comanche and
