 cuttings. Compute this at S5 a ton in the stack and you figure up a very de cent income for a man with 160-acre
 ranch. The labor bill is a light
 Cne. The farmer and one hired hand, with a couple of extra men and a hayrake boy in summer, do all the
 business. If lie wants more income and more work, he buys a hundred head of lean mountain cattle and feeds them to fatness. As a rule, the farmer who does this doubles his investment
 marketing his crop on its own feet, instead of by weary wagon haul.
 All over the Sat River valley is to be found the prosperous man who owes his plenty to alfalfa. South of Tempe there lives a Dane who, fifteen years ago worked for S26 6 month when he was fortunate enough to get work. Today, Mons E1lingsen, in lands, water shares and town property, is worth far more than $100,000 Every dollar was made out of the Chilean clover, planted On two quarter-sections of good land. A dozen similar instances might be cited And the same can be done today and tomorrow. The demand for all falfa must last as long as humanity ca ts beef.
 If ever there was a lazy mans crop, it is alfalfa. In the summer it pushes the granger hard, but the rest of. the year he needs do little save attend to his fences, watch the waxing of his kline and market the butter his good wife makes. He will irrigate about as often as the zanjero will let him or as he can steal a head of water, for his crop is very like some eastern rail way stccks-mOsGly water.
 Yet there are farmers in Arizona s southern valleys who get along with only enough alfalfa to properly keep two horses, a COW and a, run of chick ems. Wheat and barley are usually profitable and, when properly planted and intelligently irrigated, produce from 1,500 to 2,S00 pounds to the acre. Both of the cereals, to secure the best results, should be planted before the Arizona winter sets in, and return the heaviest yield when sown in ground that has first been irrigated and then plowed The blowing is advisable in all cases, even when the land is new and as light as an ash heap. If irri- gated after planting, the silt of the water and the lime of the soil form crust through which the shoots find Q4luCu4t GSlGSS- bdIl6y Is Td1SSQ III the southwest for horse feed, taking the place of oats. Oats, save under excep- tional circumstances and with north ern grown seed, fail to mature their grain, though the wild oat grows lux and is esteemed for hay.
 Corn, of whatever variety, does best when planted in the middle of sum- mer, after the grain crop is off, yet is rarely a complete success. The main trouble lies in the lack of vegetable matter (nitrogen) in the soil. This was well demonstrated two years ago, when F. c.

When people generally under
stand that all such fatal diseases
as fistula, ulcer of the rectum, fis-

in simple case of Piles, they will
learn the wisdom of taking prompt
treatment for the first appearance
of trouble in this quarter. The
Pyramid Pile Cure will certainly
cure every form of piles. itching,
bleeding, protruding or blind piles,
and hundreds of lives have been
saved by using this cheap but eff
fective remedy right at the start,
because at such a time single
package will affect cure, while in
the old chronic, deep seated cases,
several packages are sometimes
necessary before a lasting cure is
affected.
Physicians are using the Pyra-

pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of
