 In Fig. l the dwelling (Dl stands eight or ten rods from the public road (R). and is reached by the curved carriage road. through grass lawn planted with few ornamental trees. The straight road on the left is for reaching the carriage barn (c) and other farm buildings with heavy or rough loads without driving close to the dwelling. A foot path on the right gives access to the house to foot passen- gers on that side. The apple orchard is still further to the right, and still fur ther are the cultivated fields.

THE mandamus case brought before Judge Porter by the directors of the Insane Asylum to compel the gov ernor to sign the warrants presented to cover the current expenses of that institution, was decided in favor of the directors. The text of the decision is not at hand, but we gather from the press comments that the court holds the duty of the governor in the prem ises to be merely functional and not at all supervisory. The responsibility for any maladministration will there fore rest with directors and not upon the governor.

AN appeal to the charity of the American citizen in behalf of suffering humahity always meets with noble response. The contributions forward ed for the relief Of the unfortunate victims of the Pennsylvania floods and the Seattle fire have reached enormous figures and the spontaneity of the offerings and promptitude of their delivery will become the admir- ation of the whole civilized world. Misfortune is no respecter of persons and the rich and poor suffer alike when such calamities as above quoted are visited upon them. What a rich reward for the giving is the gratitude of the suffering and bereaved multi tude to whom even the crusts that are thrown from the table are af east. The open generosity of the American peo- pie in time Of need is the most sub stantial evidence of the highest and best type of civilization that can be given.

THE position of the bar of this coun- " and Maricopa towards the occupant of the bench of this district, is very peculiar, to say the least. The rela- hons of the bar to the bench must ex lnbit au outward semblance of cordial fly and respect, to insure proper de- gree oi impartiality in the distribution Ui the legitimate favors at the discre- tion of the court, and the members of the bar will usually endure great amount of provocation before they will risk the displeasure of the bench by assuming an attitude of hostility towards its incumbent. This is but natural it is bread and butter to some and it is business to all, and they very seIfsibly subvert their hungry inde- pendence to satisfied subservience of a temporary nature. In private conversation, however, there is no bar rier to the free expression of their es- timate of the occupant of the bench and they do not hesitate to speak out their candid opinions. We have heard expressions of this character from nearly every member of the bar of P!- nal and Maricopa counties, charging the present incumbent of the bench with general incompetency, and some of them have stated that they were restrained from petitioning his remov- al solely by the reasons above given. The grounds of the charge were not political for the democratic lawyers were generally the most violent in their hostility towards him. They complain of official dilatoriness and indecision that unnecessarily delays final action in many cases for an un- reasonable length of time extending over months and sometimes years, asThey compare the prompt disposal of business by such of his associates as presided in his temporary absence greatly to his discredit and in such 9anguage as @ sense of decency forbids
 hs to repeat. These strained relations between the bar and the court are de- cidedly unpleasant and they are sui fcient cause for official inquiry into fhe nature and truthfulness of the cir 
 Numstances leading up to it.

SHEEP HUSBANpRY.
Advice to Beginners by a Wisconsin Grower
 of Experience.

Advice to Beginners by Wisconsin Grower
 of Experience.
 Numbered with reliable papers read before the Wisconsin Farmers institute is one by Harrison Cole, of Dane county. to beginners in sheep husbandry. Fol lowing are extracts of interest to pros pective sheep growers:
 In deciding the breed be guided by the branch of sheep husbandry you intend to follow If you wish to raise lambs to sell at from eight to twelve weeks old you must have one or both parents of the coarse wooded variety for the sake of early maturity. If your object is wool and mutton there is no breed that is equal to the Merinos. They will herd in large f1ocks better and do well on less feed than any other breed. In starting flock it is generally the most profitable to buy the best of the kind, but if yousIack means the next best thing is healthy old sheep from 8 large flock. Put by themselves. they will often renew their age and prove not bad investment, but avoid young or middle aged culls; they lack constitu- OiOiiol uiC thO AAAOos WI stock one can purchase.
 Having selected your breed for speci- fic purpose. press steadily forward by breeding to fixed type. On the subject of coarse and fine wools MT. Cole gives figures which are decidedly in favor of the fine wools for money in his section, where soil and climate are well adapted to the Merinos
 On fattening sheep Mir. Cole says: ''l think the best age at which sheep fatten is to years. but all the way from lambs to that age you can pick out sheer that will fatten we'll Feed grain in g flat bottomed, dry trough. if possible-s trihe at first. Increase until you reacE to one and one-half pounds each per day In damp, muggy weather feed lighter Be sure and not feed so as to have then leave grain in their trough Do not dis turb them in the morning; let them ge up of their own accord. and pick around little before you feed them l ik mixed grains for sheep better than feed ing all one kind, and in coarse feed als give as great a variety as possible, bu the same kind at stated time each day.

FOR a number of months the gov ernment has been sinking 8 well at Fort Mcdowell, about sixty miles northwest of Florence and at depth of 3S0 feet fine flow of artesian water was encountered. The success of this enterprise will stimulate others to bet ter efforts in this direction and it is not improbable that many flowing wells will be developed in the valleys of the southern portion of the Terri tory.

THE Yuma Sentinel calls attention to the claims of the California press that the first ripe figs of the season put upon the San Francisco market. were grown upon the Colorado desert near Indio station. The Sentinel states that they were sent from Yuma and brought one dollar per pound in San Francisco. Grapes were ripe in Yuma on May 27th, and all fruits in that portion of Arizona ripen fully a month or six weeks before the earliest in California. Palm valley, on the Colorado desert, near Indio station, possesses climatic features similar to Yuma and will, no doubt, be able to ship fruits almost simultaneously with the latter place, but up to the present tine Yuma leads il in this respect.

Preparing tho Soil for Seeding.

The depth to which the blow should be run depends on the character of the soil and the kind of crop to be grown. Wheat and beans require a deeper range of feeding area than barley. The stiis est and poorest soils generally need more working than good land. Another point to be kept in view is this, contra dictory as the statement may seem: that while tillage loosens stiff soil, it has the opposite effect on naturally light and porous soil. This arises from the fact that sandy soil, by being frequently stirred. becomes finer and finer in its grains or particles, which renders its density greater and porosity less. The harrows and clod crusher will have an important part to play in the farm oper- ations of the next few months. Any roughness on the surface must be thor oughly wrought down. It is impossible to cover the seed satisfactorily with the soil in lumpy masses, while much of the plant feeding ingredients are thus locked up. Tho advantages of fine tilth are manifold. but the principal of these are CD that it increases the absorbent and re- tentive powers of the soil, and (2) that it renders the inert materials. organic and inorganic, convertible into soluble plant food.

A Galvestonian Away Has Good Fortune.

During the recent Mardi Gras cele- braiion at New Orleans, a lady from Galveston while taking in the carnival, was not forgetful of the fact that it was near the time for the March draw ing of the Louisiana State Lottery, she invested $l in lottery ticket, which she brought back, forgetting it's possession. She discovered that she held one-t wentieth of ticket No. 1O.- 40, which drew the second capital prize of $1O0, 900, thus emitting her to $5,000. The ticket was cashed in this city, being paid over to the represen- tative of the fortunate lady.-Galves- ton (Tex.) News, April ?.

IT is now thought the estimate made of the loss of life by the Johns town flood is entirely too high and that not more than five thousand per sons perished. Even this figure is sufficiently appalling. Tho exact number of the lost will probably never be known, for many went down the river and were likely buried in the sands and debris where they will never be found.

We believe that most conservative statement in re- sponse to the information asked will awaken a desire on the part of the committee to personally inspect this promising valley, and the result of their investigations, as given to the world in their printed report, will be the best advertisement our valley can receive. We hope the supervisors, without the formality of a special me eting, will at once select commit tee of five or ten competent and quail fled citizens of the county to prepare and present the information desired. T lere is no time to be lost, for the report should be in the hands of En gineer Huston before the committee ~starts upon it's tour when it will be too late to change their route of inspec- ton.
