Best Place On
Earth For Proper
Feeding of Sheep
Phoenix, Ariz., May 4, 1913.
Kditor:
I w ill be pleased to comply with your
request to five my experience in sheep
feeding in Salt River Valley, bearing in
mind, as you say, that the actual facts
of the experiences of men here may be
helpful in developing our country. This
is the best place in the United States
hr which, to feed sheep for the market,
in my judgment. It is a great deal bet
ter than v. here I have experienced
feeding; in Montana and in the Dakotas.
Climatic conditions, proximity to mark
ets and the v ry low cost of produc
ing feed make this the ideal eshoep feed
ing location.
We have developed a plant on the
lel Higo ranch near (Jlendale where
We installed a chopping plant and an
alfalfa mill and equipment for mixing
feeds for the sheep. We get the syrups
from the sugar factory. We get the
cotton seed meal locally and we pro
duce ind buy the alfalfa and grains,
and. have done so during the past year
at a lost of ten dollars per ton. ap
proximately one half a cent a pound.
J This, men of sheep feeding experience,
will asree it. a remarkably low cost for
feeding.
We fed and fattened about five thou
sand Nheeji during the past year. This
has proven to be an Ideal place to pre
pare lamb:- for the early spring and
eastern markets. Weather conditions
ar such throughout the year that we
ran fatten and get off our sheep when
it is cold elsewhere, and an abundance
of feed crops are constantly growing.
Our experience here has been so suc
cessful thai we are increasing our ca
pacity and plants to continue the sheep
feeding industry.
We buy the sheep for fattening in
the valley, from northern Arizona
points during the summer.

Says That Dairy
Industry Is Only
At Its Beginning
May 13th, PH.'i.
Kditor Republican:
1 have been asked to say a few
words for the dairy interests in the
Chancier district in particular, and
the Salt Kiver valley in general.
The dairy business is, as 1 see it.
destined to be one of the leading, if
not the leading industry of this val
ley. It is only in its beginning. Ow
ing to the newness of the valley as
an irrigated section, the industry is
just now coining into its own.

Ho Is te in -Fries ia n
Cattle Are Prize
Stock of Valley
When Henry Ijenaud about thirl y
year?? ago imported into the Salt river
valley eighteen head of registered
Holstein-Friesian cattle, the cream of
he famous w. 15. Harney herd from
Hamilton. Iowa, he took tilt first step
n: the ci cation of w hat has since
grown into one of the principal in
d.istries of Central Arizona. Today
throughout all the Salt Kiver Valley
are to be found herds of Holstein-l-riesiaiis,
the ancestry of which are
traced back to the original flenaud
herd. Wherever are found offsprings
of the. Renaud cattle are found cows
of great stnmina. They are persistent:
milkers. Xot only are they large
milkers, but they rank high in tests
and aro of unusual size.
There is a belief that seems well
founded that ifthe truth were known,
there is in the Alhambra ilolstein
Friesian bird, the name given by Mr.
Keiiaud lo his stock, the prize cow
of the world. .Vabel le Kol Xiko,
ST'i'iO recently completed a seven days
test. During that period she gave
TlUl.Ti pounds of milk, which produced
So'. 31 6 pounds of butter. She made
daily gains during the test and gave
every evidence of ber.g competent to
very argely increase her output. It
would have 1 eea interesting had the
test ne ' i lontiM ide for a full y ear
and her record compared with others.
Some, of the heifers from this herd
have been sold for as high as $."inn,
none for less than Today the
herd numbers something more than
one hundred.
The first desire of one planting
trees is for a good, rapid and healthy
growth; for without this he cannot
have the full reward of his labors in
yields of fruit or in restful shade.
Such ideal growth is obtained only
by keeping all the parts of the plant
pulling together. The roots must keep
paee with the top, for the top is us
ually furnished with al lthe air, light
and heat that is needed. The roots
are seldom so fortunate, and through
their enfon ed limitations are usually
responsible for the unsatisfactory de
velopment of the top.
Preparations are being made, for
the big Frontier Day events at Pres
cott July 5, li, and 7. The worlds
championship in broncho riding now
held by Harry Henderson, will be
competed for by some thirty cowboys
from all over the world. In addi
tion to the honor and diamond
mounted world's championship gold
medal, there will be a purse of Jiluu
other attractions will be a relay
rate each day, pony express race
daily, free-for-all ladies' race, cow
pony races. steer riding contest,
bareback broncho riding, and steer
roping contest. There are to be
other afflictions also, which will help
to make ' this more interesting if
possible than the Frontier Days of
1914.

country are turning their attention
to the Salt Kiver Valley, owing to
its climatic advantages and its adap
tability for the growing of all crops
necessary to make a balanced ration
for cows. Oreat strides have been
made in the last few months for the
betterment of conditions in this chief
of industries ;in the Chandler district
in tiie way of securing better mark
ets, better facilities to handle the pro
duct and better cows. The dairy
man also has come to realize that
with his ability to have green feed
all the year he must be educated
how to feed it to produce results,
and the slipshod way of dairying
must be discontinued. I feel confi
dent that within a few short months
we will see greater things than what
we have accomplished.
