THE board of supervisors anticipated the necessities of the future in de- claring public highways along all sec tion lines in the ten townships gen erally tributary to the Florence canal before the locators of the public land had taken steps to erect fences and to otherwise make improvements that would render compliance with their order heavy burden of expense. All land owners in these townships can now allow for the roadway in erecting their fences and there will be no future annoyance in removing them nor trouble in securing the right of way for public roads. It was com mendable action upon the part of the supervisors and timely one.

After cutting slots In salt barrel and revolving it like wheat screen, he had sheet of wire cloth made out of No. 10 wire, and with square meshes an inch and half in the clear. It was 4S inches long by 2S wide. He rolled 1t up the long way, making a cylinder which was introduced into the frame in place of the barrel, and revolved 1t with a crank. It did well. Potatoes, dirt, etc., were shoveled into the hopper, and, fall ing into the screen, the dirt and small potatoes dropped through on to an in- clined plane made of wicker work, with half inch meshes, through which the dirt fell, the little potatoes rolling down into basket, while the large ones poured out at the other end of screen into an- other basket. The screen works well with Rose potatoes, but for Burbanks and long, thin tubers generally the meshes should be little smaller.

ButtermiIk as a Medicine.

With the rapid growth of recon structive medicine comes opportunely the reintroduction of old and we'll known domestic remedies, among which buttermilk demands respect able place. A young lady patient of the writer's was suffering from severe consumptwe cough. None of the usual anti-spasmodics, expectorants, etc., seemed to do any good. simply because her stomach was too weak to- bear enough medicine to effect the purpose. Finally I suggested to her mother the use of hot butternlilk It was adopted atonce Her first nights experience was one of comparative freedom from cough and pain, and pleasant slumber for several hours. It was continued for long time, with an unvarying relief of all her previous distressing symptoms and an almost perfect freedom from cough for several hours afte- each draught of the hot buttermilk. Lingering at one time for weeks from an attack of conges- tive fever, dosed with calomel and qui- nine almost beyond endurance, the writer began to desire buttermilk to drink. The physician didn't believe ill humoring the whims of patients" as he expressed; besides, he contended that single drink of the obnoxious fluid might produce death, as acids and calomel were incompatible dwell lers in the same stomach But I was good persuader, and my mother was a susceptible subject. The buttermilk "fresh from the churn" was procured and drank. No evil resulted, instead came precipitation and speedy re-
 covery.-Dr. s. F. Landrey..

In the first cut is shown a portable fence, described in Ohio Farmer by one who used it last season and found that it turned hogs, sheep, cattle and horses, and resisted all the storms, The panels are made as shown, and coupled to each other with stakes and pins.
 The foot of each end piece is set into the ground about 4 inches; the pointed stake, leaning back, is driven into the ground little. till the fence leans. It is easily set and removed, and is readily stored away till another season. Take a straight grained oak log 12 feet long, and saw it into 1ix2 inch stuff, for rails; another log Q feet long is sawed into 1ix4 inch stuff, for head pieces; the braces are 1ix2 inches. One can make and put up 2 panels day. In the cut, the stakes and end pieces of the panel are represented with iron rods in them, to sink in the ground. This is better, but not necessary

How to Make Grating Wax.

Grating wax is made of resin, tallow and beeswax, and there is no set rule as to the proportions. What is wanted is wax that will adhere well. A good wax is made by melting together two pounds of resin, one pound of tallow and half pound of beeswax. Stir it thoroughly, and pour it into cold water and pull it with the hands until nearly white. Or waxed cloths for wrapping the gratis may be made by saturating thin strips of cotton or calico in a composition of two parts resin, one of tallow and one of beeswax, melted together. These strips may be wound around the gratis to ex- clude air and water. As a general rule grating is done in the spring, just before or at the time the buds begin to swell, but cherries and plums should be grafted earlier. In all cases the scions should be cut while the buds are in dormant state.

NO. 2-PoRTABLE FENCE.

The second cut illustrates portable fence used in Illinois and originally de- scribed in Prairie Farmer.
 This fence is not difficult to make, is easily handled and not hard to remove. The fence shown is entirely made of wood and serves the purpose for which it was designed. An improvement may be gained on this plan with combination of wire and slats. This combination makes & fence more readily removed. The fence shown in the cut, however, of material always at hand. The illus trations are sufficiently plain to render a detailed description unnecessary.

Let Us Have Light.

If there ever existed cause for il:- vestigaiing the judicial affairs of this territory that cause has been develop sd. The judges of the Supreme court of Arizona have been guilty of receiv- ing money from the counties of the territory without stopping to consider the legality of such action, or If they did consider it, shut their eyes to the fact of its being illegal, unjustifiable and smacking of corruption. The spectacle of the federal judiciary of Arizona, receiving from the several counties a compensation in the shape Of a retainer-for it can be viewed in no other way-is parody on justice and an outrage perpetrated against the people who are taxed to pay this subsidy. Our experience individually in the past year has convinced us that no quarter Is allowed one who refuses to lawn at the feet of those who hold in their hands the power to throttle those who happen to meet with their displeasure. We can understand now how board of supervisors might feel when asked to submit to this extor- taE We can understand how deli dzlPe.asmatter it is for the board to |. fuse to pay the amount. We can un- derstand how it is that an attorney praclicing before the court is bound hand and foot and dare not question the right of the judge to act in accord ance with his own inclinations regard less of right or justice, but we cannot understand how the press of the tes Fitory' Can be silent on a question @ vital importance to the people as the subsidising of the judiciary by their servants, the boards of supervisors of the counties. The question arises how shall we. recover the money which has been taken from the treasury? Any citizen can commence action for its recovery, but who will the case come before? Why, before the judge or judges who have been charged with the offense. Is there no other re- course? No. The only course to pur- sue is to bring the charges before the Attorney General of the United States, let him investigate them, and when the facts have been called to his attention, let the axe fall and the removal of the federal judges in Arizona be as quick and decisive as that of their predeces- sors, who were decapitated on solely political grounds and whose ermine (their successors) have besmirched by too close connection with power gained by questionable methods !

THE FIoP6sition, jokingly made, to annex Cochise and Graham counties of this territory to southern New Mex ico and form a new state, has resulted in an earnest movement in our sister territory to bring about a realization of the scheme, and a fund has been raised to accomplish it. We have not tie slightest idea that Congress will seriously consider the dismemberment of territory that is about ready for statehood, to gralify the political am bitions of few residents of benighted New Mexico. The citizens of the two counties proposed to be severed from Arizona are heartily opposed to the scheme and cannot believe that any real danger exists of its being done. It is simply scheme of the polite isns and possesses no element of merit whatever. Arizona is preparing for statehood and will enter the union in couple of years with an intelligent and enterprising population sufficient to make it's influence felt in business as well as political circles. Arizona covets none okits neighbor's territory and has none oi it's own to spare.

THE territory of Oklahoma will be opened for settlement by presidential proclamation next Monday, and the rush to that promised land will be wonderful indeed. There will doubt less be bloodshed over the possession of the lands and many of the "boom- CTS" will meet with disappointment through their inability to reach the desired tracts before other squatters There are far better opportunities for settlers here in the Gila valley, but the rush has not yet annoyed any body. ce

 IN casual retrospective glance over the individual records of the members of the late lamented Fifteenth Legis- lative Assembly,we are more than grati- fled with the standing and influence of Pinal county in that body, through it's able representative in the Council, Hon. R. E. Sloan. From the first to the last day of the session he took a conspicuous part in its deliberations and was always found upon the right side of every question. He held his prominence throughout the session solely by his superior abilities, and Pinal county has good reason to feel proud of his record.

THE Phenix Herald calls attention to the fact that the Eleventh Legisla- tive Assembly of Arizona continued in session for nine days after the eXpir- ation of the sixty consecutive days session. During these nine days the most important legislation was trans acted, including the act changing the time of meeting of the legislature, the territorial revenue law, the crea- ton of the county of Graham, author izing $20, 900 prison bonds, authorizing $2J 900 bonds of Maricopa county for public buildings, the appropriation bill and other legislation. II these acts were not legal, having been passed af- ter the expiration of the sixty days session, then all subsequent legislation originating in legislatures meeting up on an unauthorized date, may be de- clared illegal, and wide range oicom- plications would result. The f3ct Is, Congress don't care a continental how long the territorial legislatures may sit at their own expense providing the laws they enact are not repugnant to the constitution and statutes of the country. That body possesses the dis cretionary power of reviewing the ter ritorial legislative work and resembling such portions thereof as may appear obnoxious and unjust, and their fail ure to disapprove is the equivalent of an approval of the entire session laws and consequently the legislation there of whatever may be the technical ir- regularities of their enactment. The intent of the law restricting the legis- lative sessions in the territories is moi to hamper the free exercise of the power of enacting needful laws regard. less of the time required to accomplish such purpose, but to protect the Unit ed states against the great expense O. needlessly prolonged sessions. The relation of the government to the ter ritories is in the nature of a parental supervision of their conduct and thu extension of helping hand during tht period of their dependent condition It recognizes the right of the peopl
 to limited self-government and il not disposed to split hairs upon tech nical infractions of the guiding regu lations so long as no fragrant abuse result and no defiance of paternal au thority is intended. The closing act of the Fifteenth Legislative Assembl. will not likely arouse any fierce antag onisms in Congress and the marrow and petty local opposition to then \ will not long survive the coming ses sion of Congress.

COUNTY ROADS.
Suggestions About Their Improvement That
 May Be Found Useful.

May Be Found Useful
 To carry out a good system of roads in the county the improvement should be- gin at a central point Casually the county seat), affirms The World, which furnishes the following suggestions: From that point one or more of the most important roads should be selected for permanent amendment. These should be kept up year after year until the present unsat- isfactory condition has been thoroughly changed, not only to the advantage of farmers in conveying their products to market, but in giving an increased value to their lands.
 Not every road can at once be recon structed or greatly improved, nor is it necessary. Quite often farmers living on byroads will leave home with a fair load and get along much better than they will after striking the main and more travelled road that leads to town. Such main roads should, therefore, be the first to have attention. Whatever is done should be with view to perma- hence and availability for future im- provement if not thoroughly completed at the time. The roadbed should not be too wide and the road should be suffi- ciently raised and rounded SO as to cause the water that falls on it to run of quickly.
 Where the material Is near at hand or the necessary means can be had the most used portions should be macadamized and finished ct once In communities not wealthy or thickly settled. the dirt road must of necessity remain the most common form for long time, and where properly graded, constructed and kept in repair. will serve the ordinary travel of average farming communities quite we'll Screened gravel and furnace cin- ders furnish good covering for roads and should be used wherever available However much may be done the two prime requisites for good road should always be observed. These are an easy grade and the quickest possible riddancs of the water that falls On the road.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Harrison has issued the following proclamation:
 "One hundred years have passed since the government which our fore fathers founded was formally organized At noon, on the Both day of April, I7S9, in the city of New York, and in the presence of an assemblage of the heroic men whose patriotic devotion had led the colonies to victory and in dependence, George Washington took the oath of office as chief magistrate of the new born republic. This inn pressive act was preceded at 9 o'clock, in all the churches in the city, by prayer for Gods blessing on the gov ernment and its tifeac president. The centennial of thps and .,Ls event in our history has been declared to be a general holiday by an act of congress to the end that on this period the whole country may join in comment oration exercises appropriate to the day. In order that the day and oc- casion may be associated with deep thankfulness in the minds of the peo- pie for all our blessings in the past, and that they may devote suppica- tions to God for their gracious con tinuance in the future, the represen- tatives of religions of all creeds, both Christians and Hebrew, have mem orialized the government to designate the hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day. Now therefore, 1, Ben jamin Harrison, president of the Uni ted States of America, in response to to this pious and reasonable request do recommend that Tuesday, April 3Oth at the hour of 9 o'clock in the morning,t ,the people of the entire coun- try repair to their respective places of divine worship to implore the favor of God that the blessings of liberty, pros perty and peace may abide with us as a people, and that his hands may lead us in the path of righteousness and good deeds. In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of Ameri- ca to be affixed. Done in the city of Washington, on this the 4th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty nine and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirteenth" By the President,

Butter That win Not Come.

Here is word to those who churn all day to get butter and fail during the fall and winter, says SHoard's Dairyman: "Do not let the cream stand over forty eight hours before skimming. Then do not let the cream stand over two days before souring. If you have quart that is acid it helps to sour the rest. have experimented and believe that milk or cream remaining too long before souring develops the principle antagonistic to butter, and is the cause of long churn- ing. The cream from one pan that has stood until it tastes badly and is not acid will ruin large jar of butter"
