The Arizona lire I.'isurance company is a local iRaniZation of Arizona men that commence'' business m September, 19111. Its success and prowlh is ::!ioivn by the fact that their premium ineoinc- is now over a quarter of a million '.'ollarf a year. It has as sets of almost one half million dol lars. Its operations are now ex tended in thirteen of the states and the province- of Britisn Columbia. The com puny has already invested over four thousand dollars in real e si rite mortgages and .municipal and S'-hooI bonds in this locality. Thus will b- seen that this is one ave nue in which money ia brought from eastern and central states to Phoe nix for investment. investment one can make. There are a number of other industries that will pay here after one has be come familiar with the country, cli mate and conditions but these things all take time and in the meantime a man and his family must have a living and the dairy cow is one thing on which he can rely. We have retailed milk, sold cream to the creameries and made butter. Retailing the milk of course pas the best if one has enough help at home to do the work: selling the cream to the creameries is the least work, but for a moderate amount of work making butter probably pays the best. In the fall of 1012. we milked 28 head of cows, most of which cam:; tresh along in September and Oc tober and kept account of what these cows brought in up to the first of March, the following year, and they averaged $i7t per month for the tcr. supplied seven of us at ifinch with all the milk, cream butter we wished for the table raised 30 head of fine calves, ef the cows having twins. At weant ir.ff time the calves would be worth not less than $25 per head on an average. This was just an ordinary herd of untested cows and no doubt the ineome on a herd that size could be materially increased by testing si ml Wei-ding out the poor cows and ktci ing on!f the best. A.
