FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t is better to defer trimming trees
until fall than to do 80 now, as there
will be less liability of injury after the
sap begins to go down.
1t is not necessary to feed geese,
ducks or turkeys during the warm sea-
son II they have the privilege Of q
range. Insects, grass and seeds are
plentiful, and the fowls can secure more
food than they can consume.
The wheat field after harvest may be
given up to sheep and poultry. Sheep
will do excellent service in destroying
young weeds as fast as they shoot up
out of the ground. and as there will be
more or less grain left on the ground
the fowls will utilize it. s,s-.
Bi-sulphide of carbon will DESTROY
all animal life. If small quantity is
poured into ant holes, or even into rat
holes, it will prove the best remedy
that can be used. 1t is excellent to use
on plants when they are young in or
der to destroy insects, provided the
plants are covered for n short time.
There is nothing better FOR driving rats
away II its use is persisted in.
Preventing the spread of fungus dis
eases could be accomplished better by
destroying the branches and vines that
are cut away from the trees and bushes
than by the use Of other methods. 1t is
not sufficient 10 remove the portions of
trees affected with black rot. They
should be consigned to the flames, as no
remedy is as sure in the destruction of
the spores as fire.

 A stream of water several inches m depth swept over the street crossing between Hotel Burke and Kelly x Stephens corner.

 Some of the oldest old timers say they have seen as heavy storm in this section as the one which oc cured yesterday afternoon, but it was away back in the sixties. The hail cut the leaves and branches from the trees until the ground was covered. Vegetable gardens were simply riddled out of existence by the hail.
 The hail concentrated in such quantities on sCme roofs that it had to be shoveled of. and the singular spectacle of shoveling snow tor haill from roofs in August could be seen. It banked up to depth of several inches on the Gurley street walk at the corner of Cortez and the rare treat of snowballing in August was indulged in by a number of people. Hail banks could be seen in some places as late as 10 o'clock this morning. Quite large amount of window glass WAS broken by it.
 The storm seemed even more violent north and east of Prescott than 1t was here. A house was washed away in slaughter house gulch just north of Whipple and lodged against the railroad bridge across that gulch.
 At Jehn Dukes ranch great piles of hail and alfalfa hay were washed up against the track.
 Two bsnts of the railroad bridge just north of Whipple were under mined by the flood and the south bound trains were held on the other side of the washout, the train due to arrive here at noon being late on arriving. Passengers and mail were transferred and sent through to PhenIX last evening, and the regular train was sent through this morn ing.
 The bridge was repaired in time for the north bound train to get through about six o'clock this morn ing.
 The afternoon south bound train was between Del Rio and Jerome Junction when the storm broke and parties on the train state that the water fell in torrents. That the smoke stack ofthe engine could not bs seen from the coach windows or platforms, and within a few minutes a stream of water two feet deep WAS running along the track.
 The weather observer at Whipple reports l.25 inches of rain fall Gur- ing the storm. While the ram con tinued for about an hour the greater portion of this fell during a period of thirty minutes. The temperature fell 90 degrees m less than two hours. Just prior to the storm the temperature was 93 degrees and it fell 10 43.
 At Rock Butte a slight rain was reported but at Ash Fork there was not even a drop. The storm ex- tended south below Wickenburg. At Skull valley very heavy rain was reported. At Hillside and Con- gress a good shower. At Wicken- burg there was gentle down pour late in the evening lasting over an hour. At Glendale there was nn rain but one of the worst sand storms ever experienced in tho val ley.

Another very heavy thunder storm occurred on Saturday evening in Prescott The liphtniug was even greater than on Thursday evening, as Hash followed Hash in quick sue eession, each followed by tteafening peais of thunder. in an almost coa- tlnuous roar. Not for years has there been such an electric display as during this storm Lightning struck the wires of the Prescott Electric Company's telephone sys- tenn, burning ous the fuses ia the office and setting fire to the buili- ing. The Dude hose cart was run out and line of hose rln from tre hydrant on the corner hv the Bark of Arizona, but in the meantime ihe fire was extinguished by a hand fire brigade.

 Lightning also struck Dr. Abhott,s barn, on Mob Hill, tearing out one corner Of the building. Mrs Alb bolt and the children. who were sIa the house, were quite severely shocked by it, while their horse, which was standing near the harm. was knocked down, and was unable to rise for several minutes. He has not yet fully recovered from tae shock. Que of Mrs. Abbott's hands turned to a reddish color, as though 1t had been dipped ine dye, ana remained in thIs condition for sew. eral hours.
 Another bolt of lightning struck a tree near the Fleury residence, in West Prescott, occupied by Beu Rybon and family. The tree was pretty badly splintered, and after the storm was over, one Of the chil, dren was playing underneath the tree, when limb, split by lightning. was loosened by the wind, and canis crashing to the ground. barely lnisss ing the little one. Mrs. Rybon was sitting by the window sewing, when the lightning struck the tree, and was badly stunned by tho concns- sion. .

l LAboE DAT DETERMINATIONS.
 Territory of Arizona, Exec utiye De-
 partment.
 The laws of the United States des- ignate the first Monday in Septem- Der of each year as legal holiday to be known as labor day.
 When we reflect that labor is the foundation and creator of all wealth: that upon 1t depends. all happiness aud all excellence; that it Is labor that builds up great s.ates and car ries on the commerce of the world, the wisdom of this enactment is ap- parent, and especially IS it se when applied to the people of our terri tory who are laboring to develop its various resources and establish for themselves happy homes. Our busy aud industrious communities contain but few drOneS, hence near ly all can be rightfully classed as la borers-the mechanic. the merchant, the miner, the lawyer, the farmer, the divine, the banker. the physi- clan, the teacher and the clerk, as we'll as he who performs the more severe task of daily manual labor, are laboreEs in the best sense, of the word. for while many earn their daily bread by the sweat of their face, and others by the sweat zof their brain. they are all toilers.
 A general observance of tue day So wisely set apart by congress will tend to promote higher apprecia ton of the dignity of flabor and the great part 1t is taking. in the buihi ing up of our terntory, and the great republic of which we hope soon to becoENe q state. To bring labor into elosST relations with it. self and with otler interest s,to in- culcate friendly Seeiing and hearty cooperation betweeN labor and cap ital, thus eneouragiuS good win be- tween all classes of sthty community with view to pleasant aNsl recipso- cal relations IS the great 0bject sof this observance of labor daS.
 Now, Therefore, I, Myron H. Me Cord, governor of Arizona, do pro claim and declare Monday, the Sixth day Of September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seYen. a legal holiday, and do most earnestly recommend that all business of whatever nature, except such as the necessities of the community require to be carried on, he suspended on that day, that all who desire may have an opportunity to observe the day In a manner befittIng the im- portance of the occasion. rs
 Let us not forget that labor davis as important and to our future gan eIations will become as suggestive and inspirating as the religious and patriotic holidays that cur people so Loyalty and religiously observe.
