By the startling admissions of one of the New York police captains whc was placed upon the witness stand by the Lexow committee, the police force of the metropolis of America is shown to have been the most corrupt munici, pal body in existence.

THE escape of murderer and ano- ther desperate character from the Phoenix jail Christmas day seems to have been the result of most reprehen- sible carelessness upon the part of the authorities. Price had been sentenced to hang early in February, yet no death watch was placed upon him and he seems to have been allowed unwar- rauted liberty. When a mans neck is in jeopardy he will take desperate chances, and extra precautions should be taken to guard against his escape.

 IN his report for 1894, Secretary Morton says: "It will no doubt prove matter of infinite pride and satisfao- ton to the real farmers the practical agriculturists--of the United States to learn that, out of the total exports of this country for the fiscal year 1894, including the products of tho mine, of the forest, of the tisheFies, of the man. ufactories. together with every miscel- laneous commodity, amounting to 1869, 204, ,937-farm products aggregate a value of s62S, ,363,0 ,03S. All the other exports in that year from this republic amount to only $240, ,841, 1899. This proves that for the fiscal year 1894, the exports evolved by farmers from the farms of the United States were 72.2S per cent in cash value. of the total exports of the American repub- lie for that period of time"

Tho Verde Valley.

Wilson Hamilton, who has been spending some time in the Verde Val ley under the chaperonage of the old frontiersman, Al Doyle, returned much pleased with what he saw. He says the Verde Valley has the most charming climate in the world, and that there is a large area of land there, now worthless, that with irriga- ton would be most productive in grain, vegetables and fruit and so sup port large and prosperous popula- ton. As the Verde, Oak and Beaver creeks carry large volume of water, system of irrigation could be con structed at a cost of about $l50,000 that would water every acre in the val ley, and the land that is now scarcely worth the taxes would be increased in value from $50 to $1o0 per acre.
 Referring to the mines and mineral resources of the Verde Mountain, Mir Hamilton says there is gold enough in that range to pay the national debt and forever set at rest the question of stan dard coinage. As matter of fact THE St-N has long known that there arc some of the best mines iu the world in the Verde range. and the more those mines are developed. the more their hints become apparent. The difficulty in the way of opening up that region and utilizing its agricultural and mineral resources lies III its isola- tion. It needs railroad from Flag staff, and this road, according to Mir. Hamilton's investigations, should run south twenty-two miles to Munn's ranch, thence south west five miles to the river, then down through Jacks Can yon to the Big Park, where 1t could either take westerly direction through Schermun's rauch or run to the east of the Red Rock divide down the dry Beaver to Cottonwood on the Verde river, making total distance of about fifty miles. This would open the whole Verde country, bringing the land into market and prove an im- portaut feeder to tue Santa Fe system,
 Mir. Hamilton was also much inter- ested in the ancient ruins of the Verde and brought up many interesting relics with him which he prizes very highly. He is delighted with and speaks high ly of the hospitality of the Verde peo- pie.
 Sheriff Lowry was called on day be- fore yesterday to look into what ap- pears to have been one of the most in- famous outrages ever perpetrated in this community. It was no less than the waptan and malicious shooting of cattle belonging to the TIeynap family who live in the east suburb of Prescott. Five cattle were found shot dead, one had been taken away all but the otfal, another was minus only the hindquar- ters. while the other three had not been touched. just shot down and left to lie there. There are thirteen head missing, but only the remains of five have been found. It is difficult to un- derstand how any human being could be so mean as to commit such acts.-- Courier,

TALK ON SPRAYING.
Important Facts Briefly Stated For the
Convenience of beginners,

Important Facts Briefly Stated For the
Convenience of Beginners.
Progressive farmers all understand the
Importance of spraying, and Of begin
ming the work early. Besides the impor-
tance of early spraying there are some
other points that may not be overlooked,
as, for instance: Be thorough with the
sprayer Do not leave tree or plant
until the job is we'll done Do not throw
a stream, but light spray or mist. A
barrel Of the mixture is enough for about
dozen full grown apple trees Animals
may safely pasture in the orchard with
out harm after spraying.
The bordeaux mixture so far gives
the best results. The lime is made part
of the mixture to prevent scalding of the
leaves by the action Of the poisons.
Therefore no lime is needed in the early
spring before the leaves appear. Peach
and plum foliage will not stand as
strong q mixture as apple and pear.
Paris green is used for all leaf eating
insects so when fungi and insects are
both to be combated, add three ounces to
q barrel of the bordeaux mixture It is
fungi that cause apples to drop when
small Spraying will make them hold
ON. The ounce grower can have fair
fruit and healthy trees II he will use the
sprayer. Pear trees will not lose their
leaves in August If sprayed in the early
summer. In addition to these points The
Farm Journal calls attention to the fact
that:
Cherry, plum and grape rot; black
knot in cherry and plum; raspberry and
blackberry rust strawberry leaf blight;
apple scab; cracking Of the pear; ounce
scab; premature fall of the leaf of the
apple, pear, ounce, cherry and currant
all these are iessened or prevented by
spraying. Cherries, plums and peaches
have tender foliage, and the mixture
must be diluted

Thus whites New York correspond
ent of The American Bee Journal, who
also gives the following directions
Take piece of timber az feet long by
2 inches square, which is for the ridge
of the roof, upon which nail shingles as
follows: Use 18 inch cedar shingles, and
threepenny wire nails will do. Nail one
course of shingles upon the ridgepiece,
laying the butts Of the shingles even
with the side toward you, then lay an
other course on the same side, but re-
verse the shingles, laying the thin end
toward you, letting it project over the
butt Of tho under course 1 4 inches,
break joints good and nail we'll into the
ridgepiece. 1t is well to draw pencil
mark to lay the butts of the second
course of shingles by.
Now take q piece Of lath ~ feet
long, place it under the shingle parallel
with the ridgepiece one inch toward you
from the butt of the last course laid.
Now nail through into the lath, driving
the nails snug into the bench ON which
you work, then with chisel pry the
roof up, turn it over, clinch the nails,
saw off the tips of the shingles at each
end, thus completing one side of the
roof
AS you stand facing the bench take
hold Of the roof at the ridgepiece, lift it
from the bench with the shingle side
toward you, the cave hanging down
Lay the ridgepiece on the edge of the
bench with the shingle down by the side
of it. Now lay ON another course of
shingles with the butts toward you
even, covering the ends Of the two
courses which were sawed off, then lay
another course with the tip of shingle
toward you as before, finish with lath
under the cave, saw off the tips at each
end, and the roof is nearly complete.
Put ON top two weather strips-use lath
nail them well, thus finishing the
reof.

The experiments Of Professors King
of the Wisconsin and Hays of the Da-
kota stations go to show conclusively
that ON good corn soil the depth Of the
plowing had nothing to do with the root
habits of corn 1t appears to have been
proved that the artificial hill is Of no in
fiuence, save to assist in drying out soil
that is, as a rule, quite dry enough for
the full growth of the plant. When one
understands the habits Of corn roofing,
he will readily see that fat culture, and
inducing the large feeding roots to de-
velop in the surface soil and send the
feeders down into the deep soil from
them, is the natural way, and that root
pruning is not best, even in years of full
average rainfall.
