A farm Stock Yard.

l believe that every farmer
should have an Enclosure or small
lot adjacent to the barnyard, into
which his stock can enter at
pleasure during the Winter and
Spring, as the exercise thus OBJ
tanned will tend to keep the ami
mails in a more healthy condition.
| notice that some of our best
farmers have such Enclosures and
on fine days in Winter and Spring
their stock can be seen in these
lots enjoying the bright rays OF
the sun. OF course, the lot is not
needed for this purpose the year
around, and it may well be used
for growing early vegetables,
sowed corn, etc., so the land need
not lie idle through the Summer

could to heavy one. The cost of
roadbuilding is something too
great to be considered at all.
There is no doubt of that; and
farmers who live in sections where
it is exceedingly expensive to
build good roads are not to blame
for opposing their construction.
But good roads are of such vital
Importance that the subject ought
to be calmly considered in its every
phase. They will enchance the
value of property; will save many
dollars in the increased active
longevity of horses; will add to
the price of all stock that is carted
to market, for it can be carted
more economically.

FOR THE FARMER.
Good Roads and Horses.

Ten States have at the Paris
Exposition exhibits of scientific
road making. Considering the
fact that we have the worst roads
in the world, the attempt to teach
the world how to construct good
roads will natur be attributed
to Yankee impudence. But there
has been marked advance in this
country in knowledge as to road
building, and large part of our
trouble in '> direCti' n has been
because of our ignorance of the
proper principles of road con-
struction. The government has
been taking an active interest in
this work, and is trying to teach
people how to make good road.
The favorite plan seems to be to
lay two wide tracks for wagons to
run on, and with wagon on such
tracks one horse can pull larger
load than three, or even more,
horses can on the ordinary road.
1t will be readily seen that such a
road would be an immense saving
to the farmer. He could trans
port his products to the railroad at
greatly reduced expense; he could
save both as to the number of
horses, and as to the strain that he
would need to put upon those
that he did have, while working on
the road.
Saving horseflesh is not con-
spicuous object in farm manage
ment. We are too apt to be care
less in this regard, sometimes
working our teams too hard, driv-
ing them too hard, overlooking
them and now and then running
an animal by overstraining. A
country doctor was once remon-
strated with for buying such light
buggies. He wore out a good
many. His reply to the remon-
STRANGE was that buggies were
cheaper than good horses, and that
he could drive horse three times
longer to light vehicle than he

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of most remark
able offer which is to be made TO women by
The Deiineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
new century, The DeliHedtor offers TO distri-
butte ST., 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleyerly arranged that a woman living IN
a small town or village, has just as good a
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes ss .
woman living in city-because the prizes
are given for the number Of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
latiOn OF that town, instead OF being gwen
simply to those who send the largest list OF
ubscribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
OF the plan is. that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes The cities OF the
greatest population are grouped in Class !,
and as these cities are not very many. the
prizes offered arc twenty eight; the high
eat prize being $780, and the lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given away in tins
class is 81 900 The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number Of towns in a class increases. be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to class increases, so that in Class 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed among FOL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails TO win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid An
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
thev equal one out of every two hundred in
habtants OF the town from which the con-
te>p,nt sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Delineator IS well
able 10 make good From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs 10 be
made by the Publishers of The Deiineato- for
we believe it Hlready has nearly half a million
subscribers Its strong hold upon the afec.

the Fall it is necessary that the
soil be enriched if in poor condi-

dependent upon the proper feed

tered around the base of trees late
in Fall will impart vigor. The
best trees | know of are growing
in a strong, loamy, unmanured

Pruning Grape Vines.

Grape vines should be pruned
in December. The vines are then
entirely dormant and in good con-
dition. The most tender varieties
in the experiment station vine
yard at Saltwater always remains
in good condition until about the
middle of January and even later
if there is much rain during De-
cember and January. Ifthese two
months are dry these varieties
suffer much earlier.
The vines continue giving of
water after the leaves have fallen.
The greater part of the Winter
killing is caused by the vines
freezing without the proper supply
of moisture. The roots take up
water slowly in Winter and can
not supply the entire plant during
dry weather. If the pruning is
done in late Fall there will be but
a small portion of the original tor
to use the sap supplied by the
roots.

Sweet Cora for fattenlng Hogs.

One of the best crops that can
be grown for fattening hogs is
sweet corn, at least where early
Fall killing is desired, and it can
be fed in the green or doughty
state, Early varieties can be
planted 3 feet apart each way,
which will insure as many of more
bushels per acre than common
field corn, and its richness of sweet
and juice render it more palatable,
digestible and profitable to the
hog family. Many of the farmers
here have stumbled onto the fact
by feeding up the Gull stuff sorted
from the corn which was raised
for seed purpose. Planting at
different intervals or planting
kinds which will ripen in success
sion, one after the other, would
prove successful for a steady feed
and is sure to bring quick and
satisfactory results.-J. c. GRAVES,

The Garden Plot.

NO matter WnaC the Size Oh the
garden plot may be, not more than
one fourth-one-six would be
| better-,should be used in the first
planting. For profit, as well as for
pleasure, paintings should be made
at frequent intervals, because
there are but few vegetables
that are in the best condition for
use longer than a few days. AS
soon as the first planting is made,
preparations for the second should
commence, and so on to the end of
the season. The moment the first
planting has been gathered, clear
the ground as quickly as possible
and prepare for a second planting,
and follow up this plan the entire
season. The preparation of the
soil, SO far as the application of
manure is concerned, and making
it fine, must be as thorough for
each subsequent crop as for the
first. Do not think that once work
ing and once feeding is sufficient
for the season; it is not No more
manure should be used at one time
than a given crop will require. A
surplus is nearly as fatal to the
production of a crop as a deficit.
Plants to be productive must needs
have just as much nourishment as
they can assimilate, but not be
stimulated to excess, which is fatal
to productiveness
For success every foot of the
soil should be constantly at work
producing something. Nature will
not tolerate idleness;i if the garden
er does not plant, she will. There
is no reason why, in ordinary sea-
sons, the garden can not be as
green and productive in August as
in June. To that end, intensive
cultivation is a necessity. The sur
face must at all times be covered
with growing crop, and so thick
ly as to, III a great measure, pre-
vent evaporation. By no means
plant so thickly that each plant
can not have all the room for
growth and air required. Room
for horse to walk between the
rows is the poorest economy pos
sible. Besides it is not necessary.
For instance, when we set our cab
bage or cauliflower plants, which
require the greater part of the sea-
son to mature, make an intermedi-
ate row of some quick-growing
vegetable.

Keeping Apples and Potatoes.

Dig a pit and cover the bottom
with straw; then pile the apples
or potatoes on the straw in ccni-
cal heap; cover them with straw
and then with earth. In the cen
ter of the heap there should be a
wooden chimney with holes bored
in its sides, and this should project
at top of ground to insure ventila-
ton. Pit may be long, square or
triangular.

Green Manure.

When land has long been crop
ped the first loss from the soil is
in nitrogen. To return this the
farmer should grow green ma
nurial crops to be plowed under,
and there are no crops equal to
clover and COW peas for such pur-
pose.

The pruning should not be done
while the vines are frozen, for
fear of breaking and splitting the
remaining vines. Tender varieties
should be pruned early and laid
down and, lightly covered with
soil.

His presence every morning after his excommunicatlon was a surprise to the legislators, but they got used to him before night and were surprised again on the following morning because he had not yet been fired. As daily surprise MT. Phillips became such part of the legislative life that the members actually began to be afraid that he would not turn up some morning and there would be nothing to break the dull monotony of law making. As matutlnal surprise, thus MT. Phillips became a more im- portant figure than he had been as janitor.
 This new relation between the jam itor and the house, strong as it had grown. and indispensable as MT. Phil lips had become In the capacity of e surprise, was always in danger of be- ing severed and the ho,. SC kept grow ing more and more nervous. On Mir.

So there was general relief yesteid day morning when a communication from Mir Phil lips was rend by the clek and unanl- mously accepted.

The unanimity with which the Phoe- nix charter was yesterday lifted from
 house table where 1t had COUNCIL been deposited on Sat BILL urday was the most NO. 24. gratifying incident of
 legislation this session. There new seems no doub; of its pass age. There was, and we believe there is yet. an unaccountable opposition to it by members from out Of town, and certain changes have been suggested. Inasmuch as the charter will affect only Phoenix and not even Phoenix un- election, there could be no reason why the house should disapprove of 1t.
 The terms of the charter are already pretty well understood in this city. It was reported soon after it was com pleted that it was not favorably re- garded In certain quarters because it reduced the chances of boodllng to a minimum; in fact. left single chance, conspiracy involving every membe, of the municipal government. The sa- loon keepers entertained not un- natural objection to 1t because 1t gave a government of extreme moral ideas the power to destroy their business summarily and entirely. It also gave the city jurisdiction in certain cases, four miles beyond the corporate linn its. an unwlse provision, we believe, because the city could not have been equipped for the exercise of this com prehensive authority. This provision was stricken out by the council, as was also the cltys power to prohibit" or suppress certain occupations with out any especial cause. The friends of the charter made no objection to these changes. for the main objects of the re- vision were not disturbed.
 It was understood, too, that the sa- looms were satisfied and that nobody was dissatisfied except those who were unwilling to give up that old time ease
  scandals and charges of improper uses of opportunity have grown. Partisan politicians. perhaps, did not like the charter. for one of its objects was to lift the city clear of politics. It Is so we'll planned in that respect that it is hard to see how republican or dem- ocratic municipal campaign. can be or ganized.
 All the taxpayers are supporters of the charter. Every business man is and so We believe is every man who wants to see Phoenix STOW. If the members of the house desire to for. ward the interests of the capital of Arizona and earn the gratitude of its citizens they will not fail to pass coun- Gill bill No. 24.

THE PHILIPPINES AND THE
 TRANSVAAL.

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: By many people it has been supposed, or at least pretended, that the presence of British army in South Africa and of United States army in the Philippines islands have the same significance; and thvy say: "If you object to the conduct of Great Britain in South Africa and her treatment of the Boers, you must also, in order to be consistent condemn the action of your own government in subduing the insurrection in the Philippines, for they both rest on the same principle"
 l think 1t will be easy to show that there are differences both broad and fundamental between the two cases; and in respect to the question of jus tice, conclusive as to their dissimi- larity.
 First. At the time when war broke out between the United States and Spain, the Philippine islands were, and had been for centuries subject to a foreign power. It is not contended that the Boer republics were, at the begin ming of the South African war, subject to any foreign power, unless 1t was to England herself the very one against which the Boers are contending.
 Second. The time during which the Spanish nation had exercised jurisdic- ton over the Philippines Is as long as that In which Mexico exercised con trol over the territories of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona: yet nothing would have induced our government to take possession of those territories, or other nations to allow it to be done, except successful revolution, purchase or in- demnity for losses incurred in just war--in short some cause or causes which acknowledged the rightfu! claim of the previous occupant to the pos session of said territories. up to the time when the transfer was made or when the cause of action arose, On the contrary, it is conceded by nearly

There is a certain grim humor in the talk that the empire is coming this
 way, which was indulged THE in last fal, for campairn EMPIRE purposes only, and which AGAIN, has been revived, more
 for picturesque than sinister reasons now Those who prefer to see "president-e peror" in that stou.-hearted and openminded democrat. William Mo K1nley. and the traits of i'm perial slavery in the almost vio- lently independent nation which is in- clined to believe in him, cannot be ab- solved from the suspicion of propagat- ing a solemn hoax.
 The historians of the march of em- pire" watch it's progress with their tongues in their cheeks. They hope it will hurry up, for they find its trap pings and splendors very useful in the decorative writing of which they have almost monopoly. Pending it's be- lated arrival they do the best they can with the stubborn plainness of that republican simplicity" which still pre- vails at Washington inaugurations The transformation scenes which they have conjured up out of their own heads are to be taken as seriously as the misfit diadem and ermine with which the political caricaturists have invested the present executive.
 No. we are still republic. If the president rode to the capitol in car riage instead of on horseback, as Jef- ferson is reputed to have done. we ought to be thankful that Washington Is city of practicable and well-paved streets. over which a wheeled vehicle can pass without risk of being mired. ! We ought to be thankful that the White House is properly heated, in- stead of being the draughty tentment Dolly Madison found 1t. It may be al- | lowed that the simplicity" which was expressed In bodily discomforts and | primitive conceptions of taste has dis appeared. May 1t never return! There | Is no reason of why the progress of tho republic should not be illustrated by progress in the arts of civilization. | There is no reason we know of why | should not become what it is destined to be, the most beautiful capital city of the world. It remains the abode of justice.
 So far as the cries of imperialism" are not the product of conscious hum bug and hoax, they come from men who would depress rather than exalt the sovereignty of the people. Those who raise them are those, as the presi- dent has said, who would plead ''or- ganic impotency in the natlon." Theirs is "the policy of scuttle" here and elsewhere.
