 Reid who spent . portion of last winter with us, said that nowhere on earth had he experienced . climsts more delightful and sslubrious than that of Phoenix.

COPPERHEAD BILL.

"That reminds me-" remarked Alkali

tion for q spell last summer. Tell you all

"ShOre Waal, as l was a-sayin, the
lateness Of the stage made us sOrter hope
full. Old Whoop Sladdock was drivin them
days, an Of all the things that Old Whoop
was hostile to the chief was procrastina-

The soles may be of any kind of green

of the sole can be made Of old buggy

is snow ON the ground. This can be
made of suitable oak or hickory pole,
and is fastened on by iron clips over
front crossriece and under the second,
as shown in cut. The runners should be
spread outward little. This is done
by properly mortising the four cross
pieces into the top side pieces and is
the only part of the work that requires
much mechanical skill. The cut here
reproduced from The Farm Journal
shows the sled rigged for drawing hay.
Odd as it may seem, the fact is patent
that bicycles are fast becoming popu-
lar necessity on yachts and excursion
steamers, particularly those making
winter trips in southern waters. The
yachtsman finds wheel of the greatest
convenience and a most enjoyable as
well as popular way of exercising and
travelling about when ashore. If all the
steamers that make southern winter
trips from New York were to keep q
number Of bicycles on board, there is
hardly doubt that these wheels would
pay for themselves in a short time.
When touching at the various ports, it
would not only give the passenger q
chance to go ashore and get rid Of h!a
sea legs, but affords him the quickest,
cheapest and easiest way of seeing the
sights and getting constitutional at
the same time. In these days, when ev-
erybody rides bicycle, it would do the
tourists hearts good to have chance
for a spin over the roads of foreign
country. New York Commercial.

The questions are often asked What is
the best preparation for wheat? Is shall
low or deep plowing preferable? A

plies:
Leaving out all question of fertili-

more than from half an inch TO an inch

surely to cover every green thing. This
should be followed by repeated harrow
