IF WE KNEW.

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should filAi it better,
Purer than we judge we should;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loath the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To overthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the effort all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, wonder, just the sameS
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good.
Oh, we'd love each other better
If we only understood.

Artificial 1Ianures.

From exhaustive experiments made in
England with artificial manures the
Mark Lane Express draws the following
deductions:
Phosphate alone, for any crop, is in
adequate. and farmers should abandon
the use of superphosphate by itself.
Nitrogen alone is unreliable for any crop.
Phosphates and nitrogen together with
potash sometimes added are more benefi-
cial to grain crops than most people
imagine. For root crops, fertilizers con-
tanning phosphates, nitrogen and potash
give far the best results. For grass,
manures containing phosphates and
nitrogen sometimes with potash) are the
best kinds. Dat and potato crops can
be enormously increased by the use OF
the proper fertilizers.

BUsHEL BOX WITH HAND HOLES.


while the skins slip, our potatoes are
dug and laid mot thrown) into these
boxes. and the boxes are covered as fast
as filled. They are then safe from sun
and rain until wanted for market. The
covers are simply pieces of boards cut
about Is by IS inches.
At the end of the season, when the
boxes are filed for the last time, they may
be carried down to the cellar and stored
away full of potatoes, or apples may be
put in them. There is no nicer way of
marketing winter apples than in these
bushel boxes. Again, in the spring they
are just the thing to have the seed
around in when cutting and to carry it
to the field in.
When potatoes are drawn in bulk and
for moving the boxes from field to field
a top box that will carry large load,
and still not be very high to lift the po-
tatoes over, saves some hard work. An
ordinary farm wagon will hardly carry
more than forty bushels, perhaps not
that, with the top box ON. When the
roads are good a team can often draw
fifty or sixty, if the wagon could be
made to hold so many conveniently.
In the illustration is shown top box

Terry. It is no higher to lift over than

Flower Clocks.

There is not an hour of the day that

som. Linneus, the celebrated bota-
mist, conceived the pleasant notion of
a flower clock. Instead of rude met

little flower bell ready to open at 8
o'clock, a flower star that will shine
forth at and a flower cup, perhaps,
will appear at o'clock to remind old
fashioned folk that it is near tea time.
Claude Lorraine, although he did not,
like Linn9us, make clock of four-and-
twenty flowers in his garden, was a
landscape painter most familiar with
natule, and when he was abroad he
could at any time know what o'clock it
was by asking the time of the flowers
of the field.-Toronto Globe.

Potatoes Infected with Rot.

To dig or not to dig potatoes in infest-
ed fields is question not as yet very
well determined, and on which neither
scientists nor farmers fully agree. Some
advise digging as soon as possible after
it has been ascertained that the vines
have been struck with rot. Others would
DELAY for a week or two after the tops
have become thoroughly dead. In gen
eral it may be said that when the vines
are dead the crop is ready for harvesting,
and if the weather should become wet
the tubers would be better off if stored
away dry than to remain longer in the
ground. Moisture is the chief promoter
of the rot, and it rarely becomes injuri-

One Result.

The building and loan association is becoming popular in Arizona. Phe- nix has established one and Prescott will soon follow in the wake. One of the many benefits of the association is to induce people to build themselves houses, and the man who builds house for home often becomes fix ture in place; he becomes anchored. Otherwise he is liable to pack up and leave at any time. One of the difficult things for people who make up from tier population to do is to settle down, to plant themselves permanently. They want to keep rowing; they become restless unless they become anchored, and nothing will hold a man or his family to place more firmly than a comfortable home which they can call their own, and the furnishing of homes to its members is one of the many good points which can be claim ed for these associations.-Star.

Mining Notes.


 White Picacho district, near Wick enburg, is attracting prospectors and miners. Ledges there are of good size and pretty rich. Dr. Jones, of Maricopa county, was there short time ago, arranging for working some of the mines.
 The Congress, Martinez district, is the wonder of the decade Those who sold it to Diamond Jo. Reynolds thought they did well, but they have ever since regretted that they made the trade. It is opened to a depth of about eight hundred feet, and rich good ore abounds everywhere. A Cal ifornia expert recently examined it and, we are told, found, "millions in sight" The company's 20-stamp mill is kept constantly at work and a train of wagons is hauling carloads of sulphurets to Prescott for for ship ment to the east.
 Owners of mines in Weaver and Walnut Grove districts keep on de- yeloping them, with the hope that the right kind of plant will soon be set up and enable them to realize.
 Talk is that United Verde smelters, at Jerome, will start in making bull lion on March first. The mines and smelters will give employment to about one hundred men,
 People keep on saying that the best mines in this immediate section are around the heads of the Hassayampa, Big Bug and Lynx creek, 12 or l3 miles south of Prescott. This is a pretty safe opinion "The woods over there are filled with mines, and we have faith to believe that MT. Will Hams, resident manager for Wm. B. Dodge & Co.,, of New York, is the person who will put up and run large reduction works. He is thorough miner and smelter and just the man to bring this section of country out
 Geo. w. Sines who has put great deal of money in mines, and whc owns some good ones, is preparing to take a party of capitalists to the Bradshaws.
 There are around Prescott a great many patented mines, but few o which are being worked. If owners will not work or sell them, they ought to give leases to good miners who art prepared to work them in a proper way.

Promises Well.

H. R. Leonard Jr. who has been visiting Vulture brings favorable ti- dings from that famous old mine. MT. Leonard says that the new reduction works are giving splendid satisfaction, and the managers are confident of the complete success of the works. Should this new venture prove to be as sue cessful as is now anticipated, it will put several hundred thousand dollars in the pockets of Senator Tabor. The Senator is one of the foremost mining men in the country, and probably has done more to assist in the develop ment of new mining districts, than any other mal ill America and we hope this venture will result as ex- pected.-Phenix Gazette.

Tucson has done the same. Both cities are growing rapid ly. They are becoming substantial towns. They are growing while Tomb stone is going backward. Her people should wake up to the importance of dropping the everlasting hobby of pumps and look after the trade that is going by without an effort to grasp any of it. She can control the bulk of the Sonora and other trade along the line of the A. < N. M. road, if she will ask for it. But people who buy goods do not come out of their way to build up mans business without an invitation to do so. We are losing a golden opportunity that may never re- turn.

 From the hour when Lee surren- dered at Appomatox to the present time the American people have shown capacity for mutual kindness and tender forgetfulness of past enmities that has, no parallel in history.
