AGRICULTURAL.
Concerning the Outlook About
Tempe.
The Alfalfa Crop Of This Season viii
Be the Heaviest In the History
OF the Valley.

The country surrounding Tempe is
becoming quite noted as farming and
fruit growing region and the present
season will show by far the largest
crops OF any season in this locality.
The acreage has materially been in
ere ased this year while heretofore the
growth has been gradual.
The coming hay crnp will be Inc
one and very heavy. Alfalfa is now
grown to its full height and is beginning
to bloom. BY April 20 the moving ma
chimes will start in real earnest. One
man has contracted already to cut 500
acres of alfalfa. The old fashioned
way OF stacking by hand has almost
gone out Of vogue and now nearly every

farmer has either Kicker with rakes to
draw the hay to the stack or a derrick
which elevates the hay to the stack
thereby greatly facilitating the work
making intelligent labor superior to
brute force.
Grain everywhere looks well and this
crop too is far advanced, some fields
already heading out and the harvest
will be an early one. Some large sec.
tions OF country are sown this season,
some places there being 5000 acres in
body OF the waving cereal.
Fruit growing is yearly receiving
more attention and now the orchards
and vineyards dot the country through
out. No section OF the valley has made
greater or more successful progress in
growing the smaller fruits and now the
cit,us varieties are receiving consider.
able attention. DIR. David Kloss has
laden with fruit and which fully dem
onstrates the fact that it is not only
possible, but profitable to raise oranges
in this valley. James Carroll also has
a inc grove, as have many others and
all are we'll laden.
While all sections OF the Salt River
valley have prospered during the past
few months, no place has had greater
activity in agricultural land or received
a larger influx of population from the
farming sections. Ditch work goes on
constantly and not only many acres,
but hundreds OF sections of land have
been cleared and settled or are rapidly
becoming pleasant homes. The new
houses which dot the arabic land is

recently an arid waste without habi-
tation or home, is now the pleasant

Temperature for Churn,nr.

We are asked to give the proper tenn
perature for churning. 1t can hardly
be done. The following explains why:
One of our dairy writers says use a
thermometer in churning and wstch
closely the first time to observe the best
result for having butter come in salts
factory form. While sixty-two is the
most common temperature at which
churning is best effected, that tempera-
ture is not always satisfactory. Certain
breeds of cows, or cows on certain
feeds, produce milk the cream of which
must be churned higher or lower than
the average Having ascertained the
temperature at which cream best
breaks into butter by close observation,
start the churning the next time with
the cream at the desired temperature.
This is the only intelligent way to use
thermometer, and once having learned
how to use it the dairymen will never
dispense with it.-Farmers' Voice.

Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the lsatydid. Here, again, says the

wing cover is a thin membraneous

and rubs the two plates together If
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation

Certain grasshoppers make sound

Proposed Military Road.

The question of the construction of a
military road between Washington and
baltimore is being agitated by the
business men of both cities. The idea
of the project seems to be that such a
road, we'll graded and ballasted, would
offer safeguard which neither city
should be without merely because no
necessity for it seems to exist in these
peaceful times. Mr.. Wallace Stebbins,
a merchant of Baltimore, who has in
terested himself and many others in
the matter, points out that in time of
riot, or even invasion, the railroads
could be quickly rendered useless, and
the facilities for moving troops and ar
tillery would then be found to be the
worst conceivable, for the road system
between the two cities is execrable
from a military point of view.

by Long Odds.
All farmers and dairymen understand
that there is great difference in cows as
to the amount of cream their milk will
give, and also as to the ease or difficulty
in converting it into butter. This also
varies in milk and cream from the same
COW at different times of year and under
varying kinds of feed. Cows which give
the richest milk furnish the cream that
is most easily churned. 1t IL because
their milk contains proportionately less
caseine or fibrous matter In poor milk
or that which is given by cows on dry
feed there is more of this caseine, and II
forms film in which the butter globules
are enveloped. If the raising is slow
more or less of this fat is held in the
milk by the Aim that surrounds 1t, and
does not rise at all.
The increasing difficulty of churning
cream as the COW goes farther from her
calving period, and especially if she is
giving dry feed, is eXplainable for the
same reason. In the spring cows are
fed laxative food. The grass they eat
is watery and disposes the COW to scour
rather than to constipation. AS hot

just here is the advantage Of the

and letting the oily parts separate from
their coverings in the natural way, the

some SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
by CYRUS EDISON, N. d.,


Health Commissioner New Yorlt City.
II is necessary, If one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
Tho theory of disease germs issmerely
the name given to The knowledge had
cf those germs by medical men, a
knowledge which is the result of in
numerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of theory" has become
misnomer. A germ of disease is u
plant, 30 small that l do not know
how to express intelligibly to the gen.
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues Of the body, its ac-
tion appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them. at the same time producing new
substances.
But the germs of the greater part OF
| the germ diseases, that is, of the infec.
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being
provided always you give them the
proper conditions. These condition:
are to be found in dough which is be
ing raised with yeast. They arc
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the flour on which the germs
after certain changes, feed.
1t is necessary to remember at thi
point that yeast is germ growth. ant

and an alkali which, il properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. 4 good baking powder
does its work while the loaf is in the
oven, and having done it, disappears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be cer-
tain that it is composed of non-injuri-
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are COM
pounded from impure ingredients,
bincd in proper proportion or care
fully mixed and which will leave either
an acid or an alllali in the bread, must
not be used.
1t is we'll to sound note of warning
in this direction or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be case of jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder made is, as
shown by analysis, the Royal" 1t
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda. refined to Il chem
ical purity, which when combined un-
der the influence of heat and moisture
prodmce carbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. Its leavening
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as
know, It is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may ferment and
there is also no kneading necessary.
The two materials used in the Royal
! cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compensating
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav
ing been taken up to form the cnrbonie
acid gas More than tlris, the proper
method Of using the powder insure'
the most thorough mixing with ths

taken, II is mixed with the honr snd

then sifted several times and this In
sures that in every part of the flour
there shall be few particles of the
powder. The salt and milk or water
being added, the dough is made up as
quickly as possible and moulded into
the loaves.
These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix
ture of cream of tartar and soda, these
two ingredients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas is
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at n glance, the bread is raised
during the time it is baking in the
oven, and this is the most perfect of
all conceivable methods of raising it.
Here, then. there is no chance for
germs Of disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily as
sweet as possible, there having been
no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
so made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
1t will be strange if the crowds of
visitors to the world fair do not great

Under these circumstances is il not
folly of follies to open single chan

reach us? Is it not the part of wisdom
to watch with the greatest care all
that we eat and drink. and to see that
none but the safest and best methods
are employed in the preparation of our
food? To me it seems as though there
could be but one answer to questions
like these.

A Century Behind the Times.

Americans pretend to be the
smartest people on the globe, yet they
are still groveling in the dark ages on
the road question. We make wagons
with tires that cut up the roads and
:lrag the norses to death to pull them
through the ruts. In France they do
things differently. The French law re-
-quires the tires of oil wagons shall be
six inches wide, and in four-wheeled
wagons the front axle is six inches
shorter than the rear axle, thus making
= roller two feet wide out of every
wagon. Such wagons do almost as

Discusses of Plants.

Diseases of plants may be eradicated
by omltsing the crops that are subject
to diseases from the land for series OF
years. The potato rot of the sweet po-
tato cannot be prevented except by
keeping sweet potatoes off the land
until the rot or its spores have been de-
stroyed by growing some other crop on
the land that is not subject to the dis
ease. Onions, once profitable crop in
Connecticut, became Improbable, and
the growing of them for awhile had to
be abandoned. Now the land seems to
be adapted to onions again and they
are being grown with profit.
