FOR THE FARMER.
White Beans.

With anything like fair crop
One advantage with them is that all
the work necessary in planting, cul-
tivating, harvesting and preparing
for market can be done without
hiring extra help.
Another advantage is that the
crop can be grown on fairly thin
land. A sandy loan is considered
best. The beans may be planted at
any time from the Ist to the goth of
June. AS the soil is usually begin
ming to get dry by this time, a better
ing just after rain. If this cannot
be done, plow, harrow and plant the
same day, so as to give as little time
as possible for the ground to dry out.
1t is best with this, as with all Guilt
waited crops, to prepare the soil in
good filth before planting the seed,
blowing and narrowing thoroughly.
Mark out the rows three feet apart
and drop four or five beans in each
hill about eighteen inches apart.
Sufficient cultivation must be given
to keep the soil in good filth, and
keep the weeds down. But there
should be no cultivation while the
plants are wet with dew or rain.
In cultivating it is best to keep the
soil level, as the plants will thus
suffer less during the hot, dry
weather we usually have in mid
summer.
The crop should be harvested be-
fore the beans get too ripe, or they
will shatter badly in harvesting.
Pull the vines and lay them in
windrows; let them cure a day or
two, and then they may be stored
under shelter or put up in small
handstacks until sufficiently cured
to thrash.

Thinning the Grape
to thrash

A vigorous, thrifty grape vine is
inclined to bear too much fruit. But
overcropping is not only against the
size and quality of the fruit, but
against the vine, exhausting it more
or less, and in a measure uniting il
for future bearing.
Pruning always helps in reducing
the superintendent crop, but it is
often the case that the pruning has
been properly done, and yet the vine
will set too much fruit 10 mature
perfectly.
When this is the case the only
remedy il to thin the lunches. This

If sprouts appear on newly set
trees you can easily pinch them off
with your thumb and finger.
1t is poor economy to set out trees,
shrubs or plants and then leave
them to take care of themselves.
Young orchards should be regular
ly and thoroughly cultivated to in
duce rapid and healthy growth.
Tomatoes trained to stakes give
the sweetest fruit, remain in bearing
longest, and there is less loss from
rot.
1t is a good plan after hard wind
storm to go over the young orchard
and press the soil firmly around the
trees.
While scraping the outer bark of
trees il often beneficial care must be
taken not to iniure the softer inner
bark.
White there il no danger of grow

is comparatively easy to overstock

May Escape Death Penalty.

The matter of hanging Tom Ketch- um, ''Black Jack" for holding up a train, says an exchange, will be passed on by the supreme court of the United States, an appeal having been taken from the supreme court of the terri tory of New Mexico. It is claimed that the law providing the death pen. alty for train robbers is uncOnstitn- tional, as iL is ''cruel and unusual" punishment. It is reported that if this appeal is unsuccessful efforts will be made to have Governor OterO com mute the sentence and save the man IS life. While Ketchum was tried for rObbing the train he might have been tried and convicted for murder, for he and his gang have left trail of blood from one end of the territory to the other. to say nothing of the murders committed in Arizona. It makes little difference which crime he is hung for, so long as he is properly hung. but if his sentence is commuted an injustice will be done the people.

Curo for Smallpox.

The papers are publishing the fol- lowing as a sure smallpox cure. It purports to come from the most cele- brated medical school in the world, a scientific institution of Paris, France. The remedy is said to be harmless to a we'll person, and will also cure scarlet fever. The Los Angeles Times says: Here is the receipe as I have used it, and cured many children of the scarlet fever and smallpox when learned physi- clans said the patient must die: Sul- phate of zinc, one grain; fOxglOve (digitalis), one grain; half teaspoon ful of sugar; mix with two teaspoon fuls of water. When the above has been thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take teaspOOnfcl every hour. Either disease will dis appear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses, according to age. If counties would compel physicians to use this there would be no need of pesthouses. If you value life and ex. perience, use this for that terrible and dreaded disease"

A Natural Curiosity.

One of the most pleasing natural curiosities in the territory of Arizona is the pool of water known as Monte zuma's we'll, says the Tempe News. It is situated l5 miles northwest of the old, abandoned military post known as Comp Verde. It is 25O feet in diame- ter and the clear, pure water is about sixty feet below the surface of the surrounding country. Some years ago certain military officers sounded the poui and found that it had uniform depth of eighty feet of water, except in one place, apparently about six feet square, where the sounding line went down about 300 feet without touching bottom. The we'll empties into Beaver creek about one hundred yards dis tant, the water gushing forth from the rocks as though it were under great pressure. The we'll is undoubtedly supplied from subterranean sources, possibly through the hole sounded by the army officers years ago. The sides of the we'll are hOney-combed with caves and tunnels, permitting sight seers to descend to the waters edge.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Ex-Sheriff Beeler. of Apache County. Killed by Vnknown As
 sAssins.

brought into town today at l o'clock by Henry Thompson and Dr. Jarvis. The Herald reporter interviewed MT. Thompson and learned the following with reference to the killing:
 Mir. Thompson says he was going to Coleman's camp in company with Spence Burke and George Coleman, and on reaching point about three fourths of mile south of Mir. Brach- vogel's ranch, they saw a team and wagon inside of the pasture, and upon coming closer he recognized them as belonging to Mir. Coleman and sup posing they had become unmanage- able and run away, one of the horses being down under the tongue of the wagon. Mir. Thompson says when he spoke to the horse which was standing his voice was recognized by Mir. Beeler, who was lying in ravine a short distance away hidden from the view of Mir. Thompson, saying Henry, is that you?" Mir. Thompson replied that it was, whereupon Mir. Beeler called to him to come quick, and asked him if he knew who shot him. Mir. Thompson replied that he did not. The dying man told him that he was shot through the shoulders and hips. He took Mir. Beeler to the house of Mr. Brachvogel and made him as com fortable as possible and then came to St. Johns for assistance. Mir. Beeler died about o'clock Thursday eyen- ing.
 Mir. Coleman came in shortly after the body of the Mir. Beeler arrived and reporter gleaned the following from him:
 Upon arriving at my camp about the 3d of this month Mexican at Mir. Brackvogel's came down to camp and told Mir. Beeler and I that there had been three heavily armed men with four pack horses at my camp three days before and had inquired of him if he knew where we were. The Mexican told them that we were in St. Johns. The Mexican told us that these parties waited day or two and went of toward the east"
 When asked what he thought the in- tention of these parties were Mir. Coleman replied; "I believe it is possibly the band of outlaws that Mir. Beeler followed last year, who were so incensed at his hot pursuit, that they came back for revenge"
 Mir. Coleman stated that he was in Springerville when the killing took place, but had no doubt that the mur- derers had made preparations, killed Mir. Beeler and fled toward the north. ''The murderers," he said, "were un- doubtedly acquainted with the coun- try, being chased through there two or three times by Mir. Beeler's posse" MT. Coleman gave his version of the killing in these words: "Mr. Beeler was engaged in hauling barbed wire through Mir. Brachvogel's pasture upon the mesa. He evidently had taken the load and was returning to camp. Upon reaching the pasture gate Mr. Beeler got down to open the gate. The outlaws were concealed behind some rocks about sixty or seventy feet on the other side of the gate. They opened fire upon MT. Beeler and he ran towards gully a short distance away, where be was found some time afterward by MT. Thompson. The outlaws finished ,L Ilzrlv ,uncE hy b illipn rna rf

THE MAINE CENTRAL

s0T DUE TO CLIMATE.
catarrsie Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
| cold. changeable climates. it is by no
means confined to them. but is prev
alent in every state and territory in
the Union.
The common definition of catarrh is
chronic cold in the head, which il
long neglected often destroys the sense
of smell and hearing: but there are
many other forms of the disease, even
more obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh of the stom-
ach and liver are almost as common as
nasal catarrh and generally more
difficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood di-
tscase and can only be successfully
eradicated by an internal treatment
sprays, washes and powders are use
less as far as reaching the real seat of
the disease is concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use new preparation. sold
by druggists, called Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets. because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
antiseptic qualities of the highest
value and being an internal remedy,
pleasant to the taste, convenient and
harmless. can be used as freely as re-
ouired. as we'll for children as for
adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:
Every fall would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long and
every winter it seemed to get a little
worse l was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became affected to
such an extent as to interfere with
my public speaking.
Il tried troches and cheap cough
cures and sometimes got relief, but
only for a short time. until this Win
| ter when l learned of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through
newspaper advertisement. TWO flfty
cent boxes which l bought at my
druggists, cleared my head and throat
| in fine shape and to guard against a
return of my old trouble l keep box
of the tablets on hand and whenever |
catch little cold take tablet or two
and ward off any serious develop
ments."
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets deserve to
head the list as household remedy,
to check and break UP coughs and
colds, because unlike many other ca
tarrh and cough cures these tablets
contain no opiatc, cocaine or any IN
furious drug. @
