Fall Flowing.

A great deal had been written bott
in favor of and in opposition to pillow
ing in the fall. A large part Of THU
writing has been done by practica
farmers who have based their opin
ions upon the results of many tests
of the subject regarding which they
have expressed their views. The
writer's were fully qualified to Judge
end their reports are certainly worthy
of consideration, At first glance il
seems as if one of the parties max
ing these conflicting reports must be
in the wrong. But when we take
into account the great variation
there is in the mechanical condition
of the soil in different localities, and
sometimes in different fields of the
same farm, and remember that SIM
liar causes affect these diverse soils
very differently we can readily I'M
derstand that though the opinions
are directly opposed to each other
both may be correct
It is undoubtedly true that some
soils are not benefited, either me-
chanicallY or otherwise, by fall plow-
ing. The writer once helped subdue
field which had not been plOwed
for long period and which was well
filled with the roots Of coarse grass
The blowing was commenced in the
fall but was not finished until spring
The part plowed in the fall, though
naturally like the remainder Of the
field, proved much more difficult to
cultivate tlan that which was turned
over in the spring and at once fitted
for planting. With some soils the
result would have been exactly oppo-
site and the part ploWed in the fall
would have been much easier to work
than the other Then there are soils
which are naturally light and dry,
the fertility of which is impaired by
blowing in the fall; and fields which
are liable to wash, may be, and often
have been, seriously injured by work
ing at this season.
On the other hand, there are soils,
such as stiff clay and heavy loans,
which are greatly benefited by being
plowed in the fall A freer circuIa-
tion of the air is secured, the surplus
water is removed much more readily
than it can be from an unplowed
field, and much of the soil will be
finely pulverized by the frost All these
things will be beneficial and there
will be the additional advantage Of
having the land in condition to work
much earlier in the spring than it
could be if it were not plowed in
the fall Then, too, the work of
blowing can be more easily done in
the fall than it can be In the spring
when the warm weather, which often
comes suddenly, is very exhausting
to the teams. Besides, the
spring is always busy season and if
left until then the work is likely to
be performed with less care than it is
If done during the comparative leisure
of late autumn. Consequently, though
fall blowing is not to be indiscrim-
inately adopted, and on some soils
should never be practiced, it is for
some kinds of land and under certain
conditions, very desirable John E.

Small Farms,

When the farmers of the United
States fully understand that real
prosperity attends the 'little farm
well titled" we shall see larger num-
Der of small farms One of our most
successful truck farmers (now a re-
tired money lender had only thir-
teen acres He raised large family
of children, giving to one son IS, 900
farm and to another a 50, 500 farm,
and always had a good large bank
deposit and money out at interest,
and all from the cultivation of only
thirteen acres Of land. One year he
sold 81, 100 worth of lettuce from one
acre Of land. As all the labor on said
acre was performed by members of
the family there was nothing to
charge against the crop, except seed
and fetiliEer, which left nearby all
the gross sales as the profits. Sup
pose such a man had attempted to
cultivate $50 acres instead of thirteen,
where would he be now?-surely not
lending money. His case illustrates
clearly the advantage of intensive
farming. In his case the number of
acres (thirteenl brought no bad luck.
If we can get four times the present
number Of farmers at work on the
same number Of acres as at present
are under cultivation, the prosperity
Of the farmer will be assured. OF
course, we know there are sections of
the country. where. from the nature
OF things, the farms must be larger
that at other places But if the old
estates of the south were cut up into
four, six, or even ten smaller farms
and each subdivision occupied by a
good worker, We should speedily see
the Southern wilderness blossoming
like the rose" The sLrucking sec
tions OF the South, as we'll as those
further North, have reached the stage
to show most clearly the truth OF the
statement that the intensive farmer
will be found doing q successful bust.
ncss'at the old stand long after the
extensive neighbor has gone ''out" OF
the work. Not more farmers, but
better, are now needed.

at Merriam. Kan, seven miles southwest
of Kansas City. The trouble is caused
by negro parents who want their chill
dren to attend the same school with
white children. Shawnee, one mile from
Merriam, has made provision for sepa-
rate schools for white and negro children
in the same building. The negro chill
dren from Merriam have been sent to
the Shawnee school, the Merriam dis
trict paying tuition for them. The Mer-
RAM negroes resented this and have
been making threats of trouble. At the
same time the Shawnee negroes are de-

viii insist on their children being al
lowed to study in the same room with
the white children. Some of the negroes
held meeting near Shawnee and
threatened an outbreak, but the white

 CHICAGO. June 2S.-Supt. L. L. Troy of the railway mail service, arrived in the city today. He warned President Debs and vice-President Howard of the 4. R. U., that if mail trains are inter- fered with the United States govern ment will be compelled to proceed against the strikers. Debs said the members of the union had no desire to conflict with the government and none of the strikers will interfere with the mails. He assured MT. Troy that he would issue instructions to every point where the boycott is in operrtion that the mails must be allowed to proceed.
 The association of general managers of railroads centering in Chicago has organized general managers associa- tion bureau and elected John M. Egan, general manager. This bureau will have entire charge of everything relat- ing to the strike in behalf of the rail- roads. A committee was sent to Chief Police Brennan to ask for additional police protection for certain roads to- night. The chief promised to furnish all men needed at any time.

and the ihcisive argument of a Chal- mers coul1 never have accomplished. Block fl must be preserved uncontam mated, ruat coelum. There was nothing more to be sad. MT. Beauvals had said it all. Any further discussion of the subject would be as unprofitable and unnecessary as painting sunbeams and gliding refined gold.
 The ordinance which had been tossed about among the people was handed back to the council for disposition and the council did funny thing. An amendment to section of the ordinance was adoB ed after considerable discus sion. The audience had good par liamentary reason to believe that the council having gone to this trouble in tended to pass the ordinance. But the people wore fooled for the second time.
 They d l not hgure on MT. Beauvais' address nd they had forgotten that the coun1,l had just sat as an election board to canvass the names on the pe- titions and had found a majority of seventeen against the franchise. There was no going behind the returns and no going ahaad of Mir. Beauvais' speech. So there the council was, in box. in 6 cul de sac, in hole, in the soup.
 A vote was taken just as matter of form. you know, and the ordinance was defeated. Yeas, Mayor Monihon and Messrs. Lacy and Moss, 3. Nay, 1. Mai. R A. Lewis alone believed that he had been elected as alderman and not as canvaasing board or as an audience for Mr. Beauvais.
 There Is possibility that the result may be contested on the ground that the election which resulted in the de. feat of the franchise was irregular and sudden. The Australian system was not observed at all. Many of the qualified voters of Phoenix did not know in fact that there was going to be an election.

LOCAL BRIEFS.

A rumor was current at o'clock thl6 morning that monster petition would be gotten up today protesting against the rejection of the franchise last night.

A Plea Yesterday in a Trial for a Violation of the Water Ordinance
 The case of Dr. Woodruff charged by Zanjero Dobson with having tempered with water gate and abstracted water to which he had no right. was tried yesterday before Recorder Schwartz. The defendant was found guilty and a nominal fine of $1 was assessed. An appeal was taken.
 The trial of the case was noted for one thing for it's conformity to a usage Of courts in having a regular court stenographer, the first to photograph the proceedings of Phoenix police court. Dr. Woodruff was defended by F. H. Lyman. The defense did not consist in a denial of the charge as was expected. The main allegation of ike complaint was admitted but iusti- fled on the ground that the defendant only did what so many inhabitants of Phoenix do that 1t has come to be a right.

SWEET nUSIC.

Music hath charms for us at any and
all times, but never does it's strains
sound so sWeetly or it's notes lend
inspiration that is SO lasting as when we
are awakened in the deep of night, as
from a happy dream, by merry
serenaders.
Last Thursday was M. A. Bogogers
birthday and in the evening company
Of young men from the twin cities very
pleasantly assisted him in the celebra-
ton Of the day by an unexpected
.serenade visit. After being treated to
a royal supper and good time they
departed, but before going home paid a
visit to the writer. It was not our
birthday but we enjoyed the sweet
strains just as much and are indebted to
Messrs. John and Frank Steib, John
Schnable and Otto Helmold for their
kindness. Their instruments are
respectively a mandolin, mandolin
banjo, mandolin and guitar and they
proved themselves artists every one.
We have never listened to richer music
or a prettier sound combination of
instruments. We understand that the
boys have organized Mandolin Club
of six members with an addition to the
above of a mandolin and guitar.
We are glad to know that this move
has been made and wish the boys
success as they will probably form a
very pleasant feature at private parties
and other society events during the
winter. Boys we are obliged to you for
your treat Thursday evening and hope
you will come again.
