Arizona weather is whimsical, uncertain and not to be reled on. Some weeks since winter clothing was discarded, stoves stored for the summer and the usual com plaints of warm weather were floating around. Last week there was a change, and at times the mercury declined rapidly. In the mornings fires were comfortable and blankets were in demand at night. In several places near Clifton ice was formed, and vege tables and tender plants were nipped by untimely frosts. Old citizens tell us that almost every year there is a cold spell of few days duration, between the 20th of April and 1st of May.

Religious Services.

\ movement is on foot in Lords burg, Duncan, Morenci and Cliff ton for the holding of religious services at each of those places weeklg. on week nights, and also at each place on every fourth Sunday. The promoters propose to raise by general subscription the sum of S1,600 per annum, with which they expect to engage a preacher who will conduct ser vices as above stated. We under stand that $400 has already been subscribed at Lordsburg, and should Duncan, Morenci and Cliff ton each subscribe a like sum the requisite amount will be ac- paired. We hope that the move ment, which is deserving of the warmest encouragement, may have the hearty support of our citizens. The conducting of such servlces would do much to raise the morals of our people, and be- sides would encourage the incom- ing of the best class of people. Subscription sheets are now in the postofiice, and all who are de- sirous of subscribing their mite will please do so at once.

ROTATION.
The Key to the Whole System OF Crop
Renovation.

The Key to the Whole System OF Crop
Renovation.
If one viii observe how nature pro-
vides succession of crops, rotation,
in fact, of pines after hard woods and Of
hard woods after pines, he may learn
the necessity of following this example
of nature and of himself practicing a
regular rotation of crops. And the
farmer is bound to practice this natural
law of rotation, and in the practice the
luguminous crops play Ostimportant
part. Then we have to consider where
clover or peas, which are the most use
full of these crops, come in to the best
advantage. And as rule it must be
Just proceeding the most exacting crop.
With some farmers this is wheat, with
some it is corn, and with some one of
these is as important as another. But
clover comes in Just at this point, and,
in fact, 1t is the key to the whole of the
rotation. ALI that is to be considered,
then, is how to get it in, because, as a
rule, the clover is sown down with the
wheat. Where peas are a successful
crop there is no trouble, because peas
can precede wheat, clover can follow it,
oats or barley can follow clover, roots or
potatoes can follow the oats or barley,
and peas can follow the roots. Where
corn is grown this can follow clover or a
mixture of grass and clover; roots can
follow corn, oats or barley can follow
roots, clover can be sown down with
these grains, and wheat cab follow the
clover, and clover and timothy can be
sown with the wheat, or grass OF some
kind alone. In the or rotation there will
be FIVE crops and ia the other eight. We
mention roots because this crop is as in
dispensible as clover for its beneficial
effect in cleaning the soil of weeds, and
this operation is as absolutely necessary
to good farming as good soil and good
culture sre.-N Y. Times

THE POOR FARMER.
American Farmers E Joying a Reasonable
Degree of Prosperity.

American Farmers f joying a Reasonable
Degree of Property.
A correspondent in late number OF
the New York Herald expatiated at con-
siderable length and in most pathetic
strain on the wretched, poverty stricken
condition of the American farmer, and
his letter is triumphantly quoted by
leading paper in Belgium, as an indica-
ton that American agriculture is in a
poor way, and that it by no means offers
to the struggling farmers and peasantry
of Europe the dangerous competition
deplored so frequently by European
statesmen. and concludes by challeng.
ing them to produce, in the face of so
competent an authority as the New York
paper above quoted, the wonderful sta.
tistics upon which they base their jere'
miads.
We have no desire to discourage the
European farmers, or that the prosper.
ity of the American farmer should be
won at the expense of his European
brothers, but we must utterly condemn
the assumption by any European jour-
nal that the paper quoted is an infallible
authority, especially on matters agri-
cultural. Moreover, the sad picture Of
the American farmers misery is drawn
by correspondent, whose statements
need not necessarily be supported by the
paper in which his communication ap-
pears. The truth is, that in spite of hard
work and, in many cases, a great lack
of wealth, sometimes even poverty, the
! American farmers, as class, are well
off. AS class, it must also be admit
ted, the farmers are given to publishing
their straits and bemoaning their hard
work somewhat loudly; they are, indeed,
apt to imagine themselves worse off than
they really are, and the passion for city
life which is constantly growing in this
country, furnishes, in the frequent cases
of abandonment of farm life by young
people in the country, an argument to
prove the miserable condition of the
farmers. AS a rule, we contend the
farmer is fully as well off as any other
class of people in America, according to
his industry and intelligence, and better
off than a great many. 1t is easy to
find poor farmers, of course, many Of
them being persons who have undor-
taken the business without capital OF
special fitness for the work; many OF
these are foreigners, who, had they re-
NAMED in their own country, would
never have owned a rood of ground,
and would have lived their life in the
service of others, and who, having &C
quired land in America, make up by
hard work and the most rigid economy
for their want of capital and skill.
Moreover, even among better class o.
farmers, the greed of land proves to BIZ
frequently an effectual bar to anything
like luxury, or even to what many PEG
pie would regard as comfort, while
others, as we have frequently pointed
out, depriving themselves of many com
forts, to improve their property, are APP
to entirely underestimate their yearly
revenue, through emitting to properl!
