When settled warm weather has
come in May or June and celery plants
have made growth Of five or six inches,
they should be set in the garden. 1t
will be of advantage at this time to
trim off the tops of the leaves and about
one-fifth at the end of the main root.
The ground must be thoroughly worked
and fertilized with fine, rich compost,
containing chicken manure if practical
BILE. The plants are set in rows three to
four feet apart and five to six inches
apart in the row. 1t is practically i'm
possible to make the ground too rich,
and good stable manure seems to be
most in favor for the purpose. As much
as 1900 pounds to the acre of a high
grade, complete commercial fertilizer
may be used upon the soil already sup
piled with stable manure. The soil must
be kept moist, and if it is not naturally
so water must be turned on literally.
The soil must be loose both before anC
after transplanting and weeds kept
down industriously. Cultivation mus
be especially careful until the celery
has made a good start after the fina
transplanting

PROTECT OUR FOOD.
 cOVery.

The doctors inform us that alum is poison, and that alum baking powders should be avoided because they make the food bnwholesome. Prominent hygienists, who have given the matter most study, regard these powders as an evil thatshOutd be suppressed by state action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin alum pow ders are not permitted to be sold un- less they are branded to warn con- sumers of their true charac ter, while in the District of Columbia the au- thorities have under the direction of Congress. adopted regulations to prohibit the use of alum in bread al- gether.
 Are not the people of other States, as well as those of Minnesota and Wisconsin. entitled 10 warning of a danger which is apparently menae- ing them at close hand, and is not the wholecountry entitled to abso- lute protection, as the people of the District of Columbia are protected, by legislation which is entirely pro- prohibitive?
 Until we can have protec tion in the form of a statute, how can our state analysts or food commissions better serve the public than U publishing in the DpwRnaDerS from time tO time the names of the baking powders which they find 10 be made from alum?
 Meantime. it will aid the housewife in designating the alum powders to remember that all powders sold at twenty five cents or less per pound are of this dangerous class. Pure cream of tartar powders are usually sold at from forty-five 10 fifty cents pound.

record where Mormonism has beer renounced after once accepting it."
 Recently an American lady visited the two Mormon colonies above mentioned ard spent several days among the Mormon women. In writing to the El Paso Times upon her return to the States of her visit to the Mormons and impressions gained while there, this American lady said:
 "When strangers visit these colo nies the inhabitants seem to try and sse who can give the warmest well come and the most cordial greeting. They are simple and unaffected in their manners and invariably take pleasure in showing and explaining the methods and details of the sys- tem of their government. No matter what questions yod put to them they respond with ready courtesy, never attributing a mean motive to the question,for being frank amongst themselves they are naturally un- suspicious of those that invade their domain. However, they are perfect ly satisfied that they have found the right thing in Mormonism, and it would be very difficult matter to convince afolIower of it that he was in the wrong track. I hey live to themselves in perfect harElony and are absorb bed in promoting the inter- est of their colony to the best of their ability and to the exclusion of every thing else While none of them possess great wealth, they all have sufficient and possess the happy fac ulty of enjoying what they have to the fullest extent without fretting life away in vain wikhes for what that can not get. Their colonies contain every thing seemingly neces- sary for their happiness, hence they do not have to go bey ord tbe diyid- ing line for diversion. They have their clubs and societies for the ad- vancement and improvement of the younger set coming on. in which they can and do have the opportu mites of receiving liberal education and are permitted to form Ideas and opinions of their own as those SUI v1roY,,o ;r, rl.,v1ar do not boiiavo iu on ercion either in state or temporal matters. Their schools are we'll reg ulated and up to date m every re- spect and well attended by the stur diest set of children one could well wish to see.
 Almost everything relative to Mormonism has been discussed, ex- cept the women, who, by the way, are certainly the most important factor In the question, and as far as can be judged, are model wives and helpmates. They are, without 8 doubt, living examples of unselfish- ness, and should be regarded with the highest admiration by hundreds of women who are jealous of their own shadow, to say nothing of an other wife Still, they are perfectly happy, and seem to be thoroughly congenial to one another.
 "There are those who condemn Mormobism without the slightest knowledge of the fundamental prin- ciples upon which their creed is bas- ed. Yet when they visit their colo nies where thrift, tranquility and harmony seem to prevail without an exception, they leave thoroughly convinced that there must be some thing in it after all"
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-06-09

In view of the above testimonies from Gentle and American sources as to the philosophy of the Mormon religion and the peaceful and happy lives of the followers of that faith, it is possible that the Mormon religion is not so bad as it has been printed. Any religion that makes people hap py is not to be condemned.

 It was reported to Judge E. J. Ed wards some tine ago on good authority that John McGowan had advised John D. Holladay not to employ Edwards to defend his son, volunteering the state meDt that he, Edwards, would sell odt, that he had done it before and would do so again.
 This rather riled Edwards and when h met McGowan in the court house corridor last Monday morning he an- nounced his intention of making him swallow" his words, and emphasized bis remark by making a pass at Me, who dodged and ran into the court room. Judge Mcfarland saw this and accused McGowan in very forcible language of being coward. McGowan made dive at Mcfarland who gave him a right upper cut on the nose. McGowan couldn't stand this and clinched. Time was called by Judge Reashau but that availed nothing and the combatents had to be parted. Thus ended round No.1.
 Round No. commenced by Me Gowan going back into the corridor where he collided with the fist of Judge Edwards, which carried away a portion of his cheek. By this time McGowan's face was bleeding pro- fusely and Sheriff Clark and S. J. Samp- son undertook to part them, with Reashau acting as peace maker by again calling time. Edwards by this time had his man on the floor with one hand in his hair and the other twisting one ear. and proposed to give him a good "thumping" if possible, but he was forcibly led from the ring and the fight endsd.

admiration for holding on to his ground for so long time. Near his little house, which lies on the eastern end line of the Monarch claim, sixty foot shaft was sunk in diorite and a cross-cut driven towards the quartz porphyry zone. Very rich oxide of copper was found by approaching the porphyry, but unfortunately the work was not extended far enough to reach the sulphide zone. The general ap- pearance of the oxides in this cross cut haveS great similarity to the ones in the Ray shaft, where sulphides were found by crossing into the porphyry.
 At the Poorman mine, belonging to the Ray company, the secondary ore deposits were estimated at 20,0C0 tons in sight, but no more work could be done as the shaft was badly timbered and became unsafe. At the Ray mine the secondary deposits are estimated to about 30,000 tons, and it is the in- tention of the new company to work all the ores. To concentrate the sec ondary ores and free them by primary treatment from the native copper which is in sheets between the cleavages of ore, the sulphides will be treated in separate concentrator and subjected to roasting process in order to make enough sulphuric acid for the leach ing plant.
 A thorough survey was made by the agents of the Exploration company to connect the district with the Southern Pacific by railroad, and the distance was found to be thirty-five miles to the nearest point of the Southern Pacific road. The prospects of the district are very fine, and undoubtedly the district will become now an active producer.
 Several experts who visited the dis trict lately are very favorably inn pressed, and pay the highest compli- ment to Murray Innes for his thorough knowledge of the ground and his pluck to sink in barren ground without hav- ing any ledge to follow, nothing but little surface indications as guide. The ground where he sunk was con- sidered by many mining men as no good at all. Prominent mining ex- perts of this territory never consid- cred the possibility of the presence of sulphide ores in quartz porphyry. He is the first one to discover that fact and deserves undivided credit Since. 'lsis discovery the cross-cut in the Ray mine was driven into the quartz-por- phyry with satisfactory results. Mir. Innes was formerly employed at Clifton by the Arizona Copper company, later connected with Old Dominion as chemist and gained good experience and practical knowledge of under ground work and reduction of ores.

 EDITOR TRIBUNE: Engaged in read ing up on Arizona and New Mexico with the view of locating in kilder climate as soon as released here by selling out, notice that Pinal county grows considerable wheat, mostly white Australian; and, being in- terested {not materially thouglal in farming, conclude that perchs ice ypur growers might like to hear a sort as yes naTuIy known at all, very valuable, to-wit: Spelt whes alias Triticun Spelta, being cereal intermediate between wheat and barley, but usually held to by ''hard- grained" variety Of the former. It was the chief cereal of ancient Egypt, being probably the rye of the time of Moses, of Greece and the Roman Empire, but now cultivated mainly in Switzerland, Southern Germany and Northern Spain. It is called by some German wheat, also Dinkel wheat. A variety is Emmer wheat, Triticum, Dicoccum or Amyleum, grown in Switzerland mainly for starch, hence also termed starchwheat. It resists' { frost and is not liable to disease. As it contains berries in each spikelet like true spelt, it is regarded by some botanists as an anciently cultivated form of spelt. Arras wheat is an Abyssinian form of Emmer.
 Whilst appreciating any advantage accorded by way of superior quality of soil Limestone it ought to bel yet good rye land well prepared yields satisfactorily. The peculiar husk re- quires preparatory process, if desirable Hour IS wanted, hence Stripping is resorted to and careful peeling, so called, pays well finally. I never was in mill so arranged, but saw many fields being reaped and can say that spelt flour is valued by fine bakers and confectioners for its lightness and suitableness for superior "pastry."
 Arizona appears to be prospering, but needs desirable immigration aud accretion of ample capital to reach the point where success increases faster. If, by my suggestion have added an element helping prosperity, shall be gratiied and am,
