to keep the weeds and grass down, as
the ground is not impregnated with
foul seed The immunity of new
ground, compared to old land, from
weed and grass infestation is a most
important factor not only in strawber
ry culture but in all gardening or
trucking operations.
ing
For vegetable growing new land is
very desirable, not only because of it's
comparative freedom from foul
growth, but because such soils contain
a large supply of organic nitrogen, the
most necessary and expensive of vege-
table fertilizers. 1t is light and por-
Gus, thereby enabling the tender
sprout after termination to more rap

earth's surface. Upon old land fire.
quently crust will form on the sur
face or the soil become baked, thereby
preventing seed from coming up, but
not trouble of this character is expert
enced with new ground. The physi-
cal condition of such soils greatly en-
courages the development of those
tuberous vegetables that grow by
process of expansion under ground.
These are some of the properties
of new ground that render it desirable
for trucking. Potatoes, Irish,
will certainly thrive on this
soil. They will yield well, be SYM
metrical in form, clear in color, and
very free from scab. The tomato is
another vegetable most congenial to
new ground; upon such land it is
relatively free from blight and less
liable to be choked or smothered by
late summer grass, which so frequent
ly appears upon old land after the
size of the vines prevents cultivation.
Indeed, there is no question about

Glover Well Adapted to New Land.

Among the grasses, clover seems
best adapted to new land, upon such
soil it will invariably thrive, while
upon old neighboring fields it may be
difficult or impossible to secure
stand In seeding new land to clover
select the largest and most vigorous
variety. The denser the growth the
more difficult it will be for foul mat
ter to secure a lodging; and the high
err the clover stands the more shade
it will afford and this will facilitate
the decay of roots and stumps. In
fact, most excellent treatment for
new-ground pine land is to stir the
surface with a harrow or cultivator
and seed it to the large sapling clover.
The clover will serve most useful
twofold mission. 1t will add nitrogen
and humus to the soil and greatly as
sist in rotting the roots and stumps
by the shade and contiguous decaying
matter it affords.
Fruits of all kinds do we'll upon
cleared woodland provided, of course,
that the location and mechanical con-
ditiOn OF the soil are suitable. But
it is not wise to plant trees on such
land until it has been thoroughly
plowed and is in a condition to be
conveniently cultivated. In planting
an orchard upon stumpy land, stumps
should not be allowed to remain in
proximity to the newly set trees. The
stumps will not only interfere with
cultivation but greatly endanger the
trees by bruises from horse or plow.
Strawberries Make Satisfactory
Growth.
Among small fruits the strawberry
thrives especially well on recently
cleared land. Upon such soil it makes
most satisfactory growth and fruit
age, and much less labor is required

OK has been forced to give way to the
faster horse, and when new ground is
to be plowed unfortunately the OK is
seldom at hand.
There are several patterns of plows
made especially for new ground work.
These grub plows, however, while
strong and healthy, are not essential.
Any standard pillow with good cutter
properly and securely adjusted will
do good work.
Cut Roots that Stop the PloW
When blowing new land always
have a mattock conveniently fastened
to the pillow handles, and cut all roots
that do not break. When the pillow
becomes chung" in roots it is better
to cut it loose than to back and pull
out. The roots that stops the pillow
will interfere with cultivation, and the
same root, unless severed, will occa-
sion this annoyance for several success
sive seasons. In blowing new land it
is we'll "to make haste slowly" Leave
no skips. Turn a continuous furrow.
The time saved in cultivating the
crop, together with the increased har
vest will more than pay for the pains
taken.
The second season the pillow fur
rows should be run at right angles to
those of the first. If these two plow-
ings are thoroughly done, the ground
will be completely broken and sub
dued.
If the land is very stumpy it will be
quite difficult to level down for plant
ing purposes. When the stumps are
too thick for the old-fashioned A har
row to be used heavy brush or cul-
tivator, run opposite to the way the
land was plowed will answer fairly
we'll When the land is not too
stumpy or the stumps are cut very low
the spring-tooth harrow will do ex-
cellent work. The teeth will bound
over the stumps and roots that are
fast and comb out great many that
are loose or broken. If the roots are
plentiful, and they usually are, many
of them will have to be removed.
With an improved adjustable spring
tooth harrow, many of the loose roots
may be combed out and windrowed
and then burned or hauled off.
New Land Should Be Cultivated for
Successive Seasons.
In bringing new land under cultiva-
ton, cultivate for several successive
seasons or until all roots are thorough
ly broken and all foul vegetation COM
pletely destroyed. If cultivated for
only one year and then seeded down
or left idle any number of roots and
small bushes will revive and start into
renewed life.
Crops Adapted to New Land.
New land, because of the large
quantity of vegetable matter it con-
tains, is exceedingly loose. The leaf
mold also gives the soil dark color
and fertile appearance. Humus or
decomposed vegetation is an essential
element in productive soils. 1t i'm
parts a wholesome physical character
and furnishes properties that enable
it to retain heat, moisture, and plant
food. But soils may contain too much
organic matter especially if it is not
we'll decayed, hence virgin soil is usu-

pulling up the SCumpS WIFI Inem DIS
they fall.
The next process will be to tackle
the young saplings, as previously des-
cribed by means of chain and team,
pulling them out of the ground,
stumps and all. Attention is called
to the fact that where the stump has
to be removed by pulling, whether in
the way just described or by the
stump puller, it is important to select
for the purpose a day succeeding a
wet spell or a thaw, when the earth
is soft and wet for considerable
depth below the surface, a condition
which will greatly facilitate the op-
Grafton of stump pulling. AS the work
progresses it may be necessary from
time to time to again resort to firing,
burning worthless timber and litter,
the timber designed for lumber or
fuel having been previously removed
and piled for future use.
At this time we have our lot pretty
we'll cleared of standing timber save
such as has been left for the inf1u-
ence of wind and weather, and work
must now be undertaken on such
stumps as it has been found expedient
to leave in the ground up to this
time, but which from their position or
nature it will be necessary to remove
before undertaking to plow the land
may be adopted, or the stump
pulIer, if available, may be called into
service. Possibly in a few cases, prob
ably exceptional on this lot recourse
may have to be had to dynamite.
Toward the spring those trees which
have been dug around and which have
succumbed to winter storms will in
their turn have to be removed. By
pursuing systematically the course
above set forth on lot of the char
acter indicated, the owner will doubt
less have it in proper condition for
the pillow by the spring following the
year in which he began the clearing.
Cultivation of New Land.
The quantity of roots remaining in
the ground after it has been cleared is
always surprising. No matter what
clearing method has been pursued or
how carefully it has been DONE the
pillow will discover an aggravatingly
large number of roots. When stumps
are pulled out by machinery many
more roots are removed than by any
other method. But even in machin-
cry cleared land the ground will
still be full of roots, mostly small, it
is true.
In blowing new land good, steady,
strong span of horses is of the first
Importance Horses that are fast or
fractions will not answer They will
fret the plowman break the plow,
and bruise their shoulders. With a
spirited team, even though nothing is
broken or injured, it is hard to do
good work If the plow is drawn rap
: idly it is quite impossible to guide it
closely and avoid stumps and roots.
After the winter season of compar-
ative idleness horses should not be
put to blowing new land. Their
shoulders have grown tender from dis
use and should be first gradually
toughened in old land; moreover some
of their accumulated energy should

Comments on Progress of Tombstone and Southwest.-A Good Word
 For Home.

Tombstone was at one time a very prosperous mining town. but for sev- eral years past it has been a dead one" remarked Attorney A. R. Eng fish, of Tombstone, Ariz., at the Hotel Henry last night Continuing he said: The reason for the decadence was the failure of the big mining compan- ies to agree on a basis to contribute for keeping the mines free of water. and they all shut down their plants. Recently they came to an agreement and many of the mines are now work ing right along. Gigantic pumps are being installed, which will edrain al. the mines in the district. New mills and smelters are also to be erected. A new railroad is being run through the district, which will connect with the main line of the Southern Pacific and with the Fl Paso railroad, recently built by the Phelps-Dodge people. All the prospects in Southeastern Arizona are brighter than they have ever been, as new mines are constantly being discovered and opened. The stock interests in that section of Arizona have suffered greatly from the drouth this year, as nothing like it has been experienced for ten years. -Pltts- burg Gazette.

BAPTIST CHURCH DESTROYED
 BY FIRE

At about 3:30 this afternoon the Baptist church, handsome edifice To- cated on South Second avenue was en- tirely destroyed by fire. An alarm was turned in, and the fire department was speedily upon the scene. but the flames hda gained much headway. The ef- ficiency of the kind of fire protection that is being furnished by the water company was amply Illustrated by the flabby lengths of hose that lay on the ground for minutes after the connec- tions had been made. It is to be hoped that the committee having in charge the municipal ownership proposition were on hand, as a better argument against the present system will never be found.
 Fortunately there was no wind the time, for had there been, it is like 1y that the entire block would have been destroyed
