Protect Snakes and Owls.

Save, or rather do not injure, harmless snakes, toads, frogs, Hazards, small owls and large hawks, for they are the farm CTS and fruit growers best friends. He Who kills one of the small ground or burrowing owls, or the screech and barn owls has destroyed life of the greatest value to country life. It should be made criminal offense to kill any of them. The same is true of nearly every one of the larger hawks Cproperly bug zards), or either of our so-called bug Lards(properly vultures) as none of them do any injury whatever to man or his property. Their food habits are di- tectly to his benefit. It is true that some small hawks, those just below the medium size, do at times kill poultry The larger hawks seldom if ever do; 'helr natural prey being such pestifer- ous rodents as the gray ground squirrel ana the pocket gopher. Killing off the iarge hawks and harmless snakes has Oeen the cause of the enormous increase Of these pests.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten ($l0) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machn- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw a divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 9 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pIo- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free 0f dltty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for it's manu- iacture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation Of sugar beets, as well AS the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $10l ,293, 1926, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is 10 per cent.
 It IS confdentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield a much larger polarization from sugar beets than France Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

) THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY 6,

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys irDmu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market prce will depend upon the quantity of saccharine. Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad. vance money on unencumbered land de. voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex. tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec. tions, etc., transportation is the mos, serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, al S5 per ton for sugar beets, would be q great benefit to the farmers and mer. chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required fol the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be a guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchlulness over the management. and by united ef. fort a staple production may be intro. duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re, quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started ir many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort or the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

Another Remedy for App,s scab.

Professor Scribner recommends the following spray for apple scab and worm; One pound of sulphate of iron u'SSolVed in a gallon of water. This is very cheap drug, and on some soils is good stimulant to the pear. It is also good for the apple.

If all reports be true farm profits will be
ons billion dollars moro this year i'll the
United States than they have been during
the recent years of depression. Al leastthis
is The estimate put forward By the Ameri-
can ~Agricuiturist in its annual review OF
the har7ests to be published in the forth.
coming September issue Of that magazine.
On the basis If present prospects this au-
thority estimates the corn crop OF 1891 at two
billion bushels; wheat 500, 0G0, COO bushels,
and oats. Gee DOC, 600 bushels, against /, 500,
400 and 524 900, 600 bushels respectively il
1890. aud 100, AS and 578, 600, 900 bushel;
az the averaged for the preceding eleven
years. This makes the total prospective
crop Of corn, wheat and cats, 3,122, DOC, 00C
bushels, or 2S.S per cent. greater than last
year aud 14.7 per cent. over the average of
the preceding eleven years.
The American Agriculturist believes that
unless unexpected influences wholly change
the currents of events the value of corn on
the farm will average in December fully
fifty cents per bushel, wheat 81 per bushel
ami oats at least forty cents. On this basis
the value OF the corn crop to the farmers
will be 81, 900, 600, 900. wheat $500, O0O, GEO
and oats $3.50, 900, 900, or a total OF 81, $780,
900. 900. This is $3.50, 900, 600 more than
the value of the average of these crops in
1880 to 1890 inclusive.

Somehow we hear but little said about
the aquarium at Sea Isle City ard wonder
that we dc not hear more. THIS reservoir
IS dubbed "The Marine Aquarium OF the
University of Pennsylvania" and is one
Of three similar institutions in the world.
The plant at Sea Isle consists of a build
ing "a by "a with wind mill attachment
for pumping purposes and five acres of
ground at the northern portion of the
Island. 1t was. presented by the founder
of Sea Isle City, C. X. Lands. An ac-
count says:
The chief object of the Institution will
b. the propagation of the oyster from
spawn, which on scientific principles is
now possible. The numerous foes of the
oyster will be elected by artificial means,
and after success is assured the numerous
oystermen along the Atlantic coast will be
educated in the art so as to stock their
own beds proftably.
In addition a grand collection of marine
plants, fishes and mollusks will be gradu-
ally added TO the stock. A fund of $780,
900 is being raised by subscription to aid
the enterprise, and Professor Dolley, Of
the University is at the head of the
institution.

that the women are eager to see it going on

dent of the W. G. T. L. of Wilkes Barre
writes: "The boys were so eager to learn
that some Of them came without their
supper, rather than go to their homes for
it, aud the testimony of those of our
teachers who taught in the day school was
that they excelled in s~tudiousness, per-

The Drinkers Dictionary.

JUG.
In the language of the Bar Room a jag
is q place that a person is lab to get
into, if he gets anything out of a Jug.
A jug is described as a vessel with a
swelling belly and a small mouth"
The description is an apt one when APP
piled to those 'whose God is their belly
They have an enormous capacity for guz-
cling, are Falstafian in their girth, and
however small their mouth. it is always
open. 1t would be of public as well as
private advantage if the mouth of every
drinker, as we'll as every drinkers jug,
could be "corked up.i'
There is generally but one handle to a
jug, but the temperance question is by no
means a jug handled" or one sided ques-
inside of every man, the outside and inside
of his home, and on all sides a decided
gain would be secured, if everybody
would totally abstain from the use of in
toxicating beverages.
KILLED.
While under the influence of liquor one
man frequently kills another, and the daily
papers often contain notices of a murder
in a saloon.
There is a complete chain of killing in
the liquor traffic. The grain is killed, de-
prived of the living principle to make the
liquor, the man who makes or sells it,
kills or deadens his moral ~seusibilities,
and while drunk men often kill zach other
and themselves.
TIE statement cannot be disprosed, that
hundreds of persons are killed every year
as the direct result of intoxicating drinks.
The finer feelings, the sense of propriety,
of honor, of truthfulness, and all religious
desires and moral purposes are first stupe-
fed, and then killed by the use of intoxi-
cants.
In the Danish language Kill or kill
means a stream (the word Catskill is sy-
nonymous with Cats River). What a
stream of evil, What a stream of killing
flows from the great reservoir of drink!
When, when will it cease!

fight for several hours here yesterday one
man was nearly killed, twenty seriously
injured and 200 received cuts and bruises.
The south Jersey farmers We're having
their annual reunion, and 5000 farmers,
their friends and relatives. were present.
Beer was plentiful, and caused trouble.
All went well until g o'clock, when a youth
from Salem had a quarrel with a youth
from Pennsyille, and the crowd took up
the fight, which ragged tor three hours. The
farmers armed themselves with wagon
whips and wore ont the butts on each other.
A Salemite and u Pennsvillian began a
fight to a finish for a stake consisting of a
gold watch and $50. This started the riot.
A New Castle man was chased two miles
up tue Delaware river shore, and it is fear
cd he met with foul play. Two hundred

Several hundred Philadelphians and 100

rores, the rounsy Excise law.

The eoEstitutionality OF the new law ere
ating county excise boards ia in a fair way
to be tested In the State Supreme Court. At
the recent meeting and organization Of the
Cumberland county beard licenses were
granted only to Bridgetor applicants. That
there were no applications from Melville
and Vineland arises from the fact that no
applications had been male 70 and refused
by the Councils Of the respective towns.
There will be. however, as soon as these
bodies meet. ard the chances Of their refusal
are very bright, as both Councils are
against license by a largo majority.
Then, OF course, applications " Ill be made
to the County Board and possibly granted.
There is not mnch talk over the matter in
Millville, but in Vinelapd the Indignation
Of the temperance people is very great.
A number OF them have subscribed a purse
to serve an injunction on the first success

doing business until the legality of tha law

We have all heard OF the man who in
wonder and bewilderment of mind tried to
divine how an animal so large as a bovine
could ever have passed through the knot
hole OF building in which It's tail was
pendant and our wonder or another and
entirely different line has been no less than
his.
We have wondered time and time again,
ahundred times in fact, why in the name Of
all that is gracious any one should want to
be a member of city council, why in fact
any ore should even consent to serve in
that capacity. We have looked at it from
the stand point of patriotism, love of
country, city or family pride, and every
other reasonable and unreasonable point Of
view, and still the wonder grows, why, how,
when. where and whence, any such man
should consent to become members of city
council. IT'S tho rock on which we have
split ourssl yes all up fine and gone to pieces.
We can SEQ a reason for almost every
thing but for being a member of city eoun-
ell. 1t is there we regretfully draw the line.
We can understand in our feeble way why
the world was made a spheroid and why
the sun hangs around so many hours longer
on a June than a January day and compre-
bend TO some extent why such men as Coy.

out more than half their days, but can't for

furnish a sufficient reason let him step to

A writer in Our Dumb Animals says that
whenever a horse driven by himself has
baked he has got out of his carriage and
gone to its fore foot, lifted it from the
ground and struck the shoe with a stone.
He has never failed to start a horse in that
very simple way, and he has on several
occasions had balky horses which had ex-
hausted the patience of all former owners.
