THE POLICE COURT
A Large Section Of inc Army of inc
 Unemployed Reviewed.

It was a combinations of conditions
 which brought them to PhoeniX-the
 delicious Italian climate of the Salt River valley, the social and commercial opportunities of Christmas times in the capital, were all responsible for their presence. Police cfficgrs Doheney, Gal pin and Molloy gathered them in as they came-from the freight yards, the sidewalks. the saloons-singIy, in pairs and in f1ocks, and when they formed hollow square in Judge Jobs court yesterday morning, they aggre- gated just half a dozen less than the legislature
 The complaint in all Of the thirty cases was of the general nature Of va grancy, with an occasional charge of ''sleep-drunk. ''Sleep-drunk" is a crime peculiar to Phoenix, and is rec ognized and classified in no police court in the world except that of Judge JCbs. It is the CutgrOwth Cf that re- finement of justice characteristic Of MT. Jobs, and the direct result of the high temptation of the Phoenix winter seascn. 'Sle6p-drunk is the crime of being asleep while drunk. It is com pound felony and merits more severe punishment than the single crime of being asleep CT drunk.
 The lina of defense Of all the accused before Judge Jobs, was tha5 they had been industrious laborers in various sections of the country. and had for nys0Eicus periods Of time been seeking Employment, probably with a view of
 locating it, so as to avCid it there Enter. and that-the deceptive phantom, with beckol lg finger, had led them to Phoenix a1 ruin

 "You saw wcod?" echoed Judge Jobs, 1 where did you see it?"
 "At Maricopa.''
 "Ah! and after you saw it what did you do to it?'
 q say it-''
 "Yes understand you saw it, but after F1king at it I am inclined to the belief Ithat you passed it by. I will give 3ou fifteen days Emil, I think that will be fair, for the city will have to buy you a pair of shoes and a pair of brooches before ycu can leave Iown.''
 Prisoner Young, large, dark skinned man, who would pass for an Indian if his whiskers were on his head, had spent his last dollar in San Francisco some time ago since which time he had been touring the country, through the courtesy Of railroad lr men, as he expressed it. The court questioned him at length about his travels, and. it developed that MT. Young had no choice between load" and an empty" but that he preferred the top of freight car tC' the trucks. He said he had written home for mon ey and any mail was liable to bring him $400.00. Pending the arrival of the money, if the court would let him go he would lelave town. That would be a very imprudent move" said the court, flor if you leave town. Young, we will not know what to do with your $400 when it comes. A better plan will ba for you to remain with us a few days-say 20''

TREES N MOISTURE.
Wste-jnE at TransplanfinE
Discussed Once More.

/ correspondent Of Green's Fruit
Grower says: Il have planted, perhaps,
q million of trees in, my lifetime. I
have met with but few failures, and
cannot remember having watered any
of these trees. If the soil is made thor
oughly fine before planting; if the soil
about the roots is pressed in very firm,
as firm as a fence post; if the soil is left
loose on the top. and kept continuous
ly loose by cultivation, the trees will
live even though the season may be
dry" In connection with this para
graph, it may be noted that, on one oc-
casion within the experience of the
writer, a large number of trees that had
been planted in the spring. and had
grown tolerably well, showed signs dur
ing the following very dry summer of
willing their leaves for want of water.
An examination seemed to show that
although the trees had been we'll plant
ed in the common a%cceptation of the
term. yet the earth in many cases waz
not packed closely around the roots.
1t was not convenient to water them.
The owner was recommended to pound
the earth around the trees with a heavy
paving hammer. This was done. 1t is
almost impossible to convey an idea Of
the force used on this occasion. Aforce
was exerted fully equal to that en-
ployed by the regular hammers in paw
ing the streets. The earth being very
dry was reduced 10 fine powder by this
process. and moisture was drawn up
ward by capillary attraction. In a
couple of days a~fterward. there not
the slightest sign of willing. although
no water had been applied. and they
continued to grow without any ev;-
dence of suffering for want of water
until the next rain ame Had the soil
not been heavily beaten in this way,
their death would have been absolutely
certain,

SIIcIng Roots for stock.

Wherever roots are largely grown, a
root slicer that will cut up in good
shape a bushel of roots in two minutes
time is almost a necessity. 1t will leave
the roots so that cows. horses and sheep
can get the most good from them. Ca
tie. especially. are likely to become
choked by t~hree-cornered pieces Of
root. which are ornmo when. the root
is cut by the old-fashioned way Of
throwing the roots in a measure and
chopping them with shovel, Ratchet or
some other broad-faced cutting instru-
ment. If there are enough roots grown
to make a root slicer necessary, there
ought also TO be bought at the same
time a small power engine to do this
and many other light jobs of work that
on most farms are yet too often done
by the exercise CT human muscle.

How to Dry Up n Cow.

To dry up a cow, reduce the feed, take
away the grain. and when the milk yield
drops, milk first once a day, then once
in two days. and in two weeks the aver
age COW will be dry and her udder in
good condition. With persistent milk
ers there is seldom difficulty if hay only
Is fed for a time. If a COW continues TO
give milk under this treatment or if the
udder is hard and feverish. the work of
drying up must stop, and the ration be
changed to a light milk ration, with
%loosening feeds. and the cow MIXED
regularly. Forced drying up under
these conditions Injuries the COW. II
by oversight the drying up process has
been neglected until within three or
four weeks of calving. do not attempt it,
as there is risk of injury to the health
of the COW and her udder.

latter will be mounted upon an ample
seat in front, sheltered overhead and
protected in wet weather by a water
proof covering. Entrance to the IN
terror of the vehicle will be by a door
on either side, which when shut will
serve as the center of the three

blazing lamp will do the same by night.
The postmaster will be seated in the
center of his Office upon a revolving
chair made stationary with the floor.
Both before and behind him will be a
working table and u complete set OF
post Office pigeon holes. Under ordinary
circumstances he will ride with his
back toward the driver, there being
more room at his rear table than at
the front. Just above the rear table
will be a closet with double doors. In
side will be shelves. a cash drawer. and
drawers for storing stamps, postal
cards, envelopes, cancelers and other
necessities, including a trusty gun for
protection against the bold highway
man.
Grouped about this closet will be the
smaller pigeon holes, among which
mail matter for the rural inhabitants
having houses or collection and deiiv-
cry boxes along the route between post
offices will be distributed alphabetical

up the c~rossroad, his letters and papers
will be taken from compartment H"
and deposited in the slot of the box
bearing his name. Beneath this rear
working table will be larger pigeon
holes. each bearing the name of a reg
ularly established post office on the cir

sprayInr with Kerosene

The San Jose scale is constantly
spreading in all directions and in some
parts of the south is destroying the
peach trees. No satisfactory spraying
material except kerosene has been dis
covered, even whale-oil soap emulsion
failing to get AL the insects unless very
carefully applied. The application of
kerosene is not safe for the tree, al
though a newly-invented spraying
pump promises to make it safer. This
pump is so constructed that it mixes
the oil with water in the nozzle and
allows a very light coat of kerosene to
be applied. This should be done On

buds are dormant, and under favorable
conditions works very effestrely-
