Arizona,s Unique jail.

Graham county jail, at Clifton, Ariz.,
is probably the most unusual in Amer
lea. 1t comprises four large apartments
hewn in the side of hill of solid quartz
rock. The entrance to the Jail is through
a box-like vestibule built of heavy ma
sonry, and equipped with three sets Of
gates Of steel bars. Here and there in
the rocky walls holes have been blasted
for windows, and in these aperatures a
series of massive bars of steel have been
fitted firmly in the rock. The floor of
the rockbound Jail is of cement, and TIE
prisoners are confined wholly in tle
larger apartments. In some places the
wall of quartz about the jail is Is feet
thick. Some of the most desperate GRIM
inals on the southwest border have been
confined in the Clifton Jail, and SO solid
and heavy are the barriers to escape
that no one there has ever attempted
to make break for freedom. The no
torious Black Jack was there for
months. Tombstone Epitaph.

ROADS AT ST. LOUIS.
President of Exposition Outlines
Plans for Exhibits and n Great
international Convention.

President D. R. Francis, OF the st.
Louis Exposition committee, is an en-
thusiastic advocate of improving the
common roads of the country. He is
planning to give good roads prom
inent feature of the exposition. In a
recent interview he said:
ct is the desire of the management
to discover the best material from
which roads can be made. We shall
permit those interested in different
kinds of matchmaking material and the
different designers of plans for country
roads to display their materials and
plans in order that the people of all Sec
lions may determine which are the best
materials and methods for making high
ways.
1--WE hope, also, by having great in
ternational good roads convention in
connection with the exposition to in
crease the interest which is felt in this
country and throughout the world in
the making of good roads. Anyone who
has been in countries where there are
good roads knows how much easier life
is there / can remember when | was
living on a farm myself. The farm was
not on turnpike, but three miles away
from it, and if we had been able to de-
vote to tilling the soil and looking after
the stock the energy and the time
wasted in traversing those three miles
of dirt road we would have been able
to pay so times over the interest on the
money required to build three miles of
good road.
'In travelling through Europe about
two months ago, in pursuance of official
duties, / was impressed with the very
superior roadways of that continent.
Ours cannot be classed with them. 1t
is a very ordinary circumstance in
France or Belgium to hear Of Ameri-
cans who are starting out on tour
of so or 100 miles in parties of three or
four vehicles and 20 to SO people.
They spend large amounts of money in
the country through which these tours
are taken. What is left there by the
tourists who take advantage of these
good roads is itself sufficient to pay the
interest upon the cost of those roads.
ct is not only desirable from the
selfish standpoint Of material interest,
to have good roads regardless of their
cost, but from the standpoint of our
own pleasure, the culture of a COM
munity, and the enlightenment of the
individuals who traverse these roads.
1t is not only wise, but it is duty to
remove an obstacle to advancement
which can be so easily removed as bad
roads"

BUTTER-MAKING IN THE CITY.
Taken 1t Up a Pleasant
Diversion.

Many New Workers in the heart OF
the city make their own butter, and
surprising number of churns of size
for working two or three quarts of cream
at time are sold by the dealers.
A good proportion of the city jewellers
have fresh butter made two or three
times a week from the milk brought
from their own farms and county
places. Others get the cream from milk
dealers, and make only the butter for
immediate table use, depending on the
grocer for that needed for cooking pur-
poses, says report from that city.
There is a purity and wholesomeness
demanded in everything used about
milk and milk products that appeals
peculiarly to capable housekeepers, and
many fastidious women like to attend
to this department themselves, working
the butter with great care so as to i'm
prove its flavor, and sailing it only to
certain degree.
The latest churns for home use are of
glass, worked by little hand wheel at
the top. Some are of only one-quart
size, others of proportions to satisfy the
needs of a good-sized family of butter
lovers. There are fine white earthen-
ware churns of English make, with lit
tie wooden dashes to be jiggled up and
down in the primitive fashion.
To supplment the churns come splash
ers of an improved pattern, dainty milk
pans of enameled ware, skimmers of
either china or tin, handy wooden pad
dies for working the butter, and scales
of delicate adjustment by which the
housewife may know to fraction the
amount of her produce.
The dealers attribute the increased in
terest in butter making to the present
taste for country life and the general
awakening in matters of hygiene.
And city jewellers who love fresh but
ter do not think it extravagant to make
it even from the cream of bought milk,
because of the many uses the milk can
be put to after the cream has been
skinned off, Blanc-manges, custards
and many desserts and delicacies can be
made from it, and the potcheese or the
curd, served with cream and nutmeg, is
wholesome and attractive dish for sup
per or luncheon.

Wilhelm lingering about the kitchen
door very often of late, and had thought
very little of it. But with that glow on
his face, and the eager hesitation in his
speech the situation suddenly be-
came transparent. She gave little i'm
perceptihle nod to herself as she waited
for the slow lips to proceed. Wilhelm
was a handsome man, and Greta was a
very pretty, capable girl. They had both
been in her employ long enough for her
to fully appreciate their value; and good
servants were hard to obtain. Her mind
skinned over the possibilities quickly
and conclusively. There was that pretty
cottage at the foot of the garden, which
the butler had once occupied. She would
raise the wages of both, and they should
have weeks outing at some good place

when to wean the Pig1et..

A series of eight experiments recently
demonstrated the adyisabiiity of keeping
the pigs on the sow as long as possible,
consistent with the healthy and strong
condition of the mother The chief reason
for this is that SOW and her pigs to-
gether will extract more nourishment
from given quantity Of food than will
the weaned pigs alone. The SOW and pigs
were weighed separately each week, and
any loss or gain of the SOW was deducted
from or added to the increased weight OF
the pigs. The pigs were allowed to re-
main on the SOW for ten weeks, then a
similar course of feeding was carried on
with the pigs for seven weeks. The sow
and pigs consumed on an average 231
pounds of meal and 534 pounds of skim
milk in making similar increase. Mid

Farmers Buy Range Colts.

1t is becoming quite custom now
among farmers of the west and north
west to buy range colts one or two years
old instead of raising them. High
grade, range-bred colts can be bought
for less money than it will cost the farm
er to raise colts of equal quality, and by
buying while young the difficulty and
danger of breaking them is reduced to
level with that of homegrown ami
mails. Common or inferior horses grown
on the ranges find no sale, and to COM
mand a fair price the breeding stock
must be of good size, form and quality.
The colts being grown on the range en-
tirely can be sold for less money than
it would cost the farmer to raise them,
giving shelter, grain and hay. Farm

CLEANING FRUIT FIELDS.
Work Done in Autumn Pays Gratt.
flying Dividends in the Conn
ing Fruiting Season.

In many districts it is not until spring
arrives that the work of cleaning the
field begins, and then hurry ensues.
While the decayed weeds and grass COW
ering the roots of the plants may serve
as mulch, and partially protect against
the severity of the winter, the question
comes up as to the cost. Apparentlyit
is cheaper to allow the weeds to grow
and remain, if they are valued as mulch
ing material, as no labor is required in
their use, but weeds are very expensive
and very costly if the matter be viewed
from an economical standpoint. The
storing of the material for the produc~
tion of next years crop of fruit goes on
in the vines now, and the greater por-
ton of the effort of reproduction is when
the condition of heat and moisture are
most favorable. Some plants bear fruit
before the summer comes on, but it is
during the summer that the growth OF
new canes and vines is greatest. All
the elements of growth come from the
soil and as no plant will thrive as well
under competition as without it, 1t is
plain that the weeds simply rob the
plants not only of nourishnent but also
of moisture. When they die in the fall
they do not return to the soil that
which is derived from it. as during the
process of decomposition much of the nj
trogenOus matter is dissipated in the at
mosphere. The duty should be to Gull
tivate between the rows of strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries, thinning
out the surplus plants and either hoeing
or hand pulling the weeds. If some kind
of winter covering be needed it is more
economical to use salt hay or some cheap
material that can be easily applied. 1t
is also best to cut back the top. OF tall
canes If growth is to be made let it be
of laterals 1t is much better to cut back
early than to wait until the plant has
wasted energy in producing vines that
must be removed in tne spring. All the
energy saved now will be brought into
use next spring in the effort to produce
fruit, which will then be of better quail

CITY ELECTION COMING
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
One Set of Primaries Called for No
vember S, and Probably Others
Will Be Held.

A cal has been issued for primaries to
be held in the various wards i'll this
city tomorrow evening. Nov. 5, for the
purpose of selecting delegates to con-
vention for the nomination of candi-
dates for the various municipal offices.
Under the call, the first and second
ward, will be entitled to 9 delegates
each and the third to 6.
The names o. A. j. Shaw, the present
incumbent. f. J. Wyman, Frank Hors-
lev O. A. Fechter and A. b. Weed have
been spoken of in connection with the
mayoralty, while there will be spirited
competition for nearly all the other
offices. excepting counciimen. Five MEM
bers of the council will have to be elect
ed. Messrs. Fisher fom the second and
Switzer from the third being the only
hold-overs. None of the present mem
bers of the council express ardent hopes
of being returned, and few aspirants for
aldemanic honors have developed. For
the salaried positions, however, none
is without competition. For clerk, H.
b. Doust the present incumbent, aspires
for a re-nomina non, and the honor, we
understand. will be contested by Frank
Spain. Treasurer Charlie Donovan is
said to have an opponent in Frank
Bartholet, while for city attorney the

those who might be induced to
take that position are mentioned

held the position for some years, an
nounces that he is not up for re-nomina-
ton
For city health officer DR.. p. Frank is
mentioned as an opponent OF ID. Burns,
sprung in that connection.
The positions of marshal, city justice,
street commissioner and surveyor are
along with several other minor places,
filled by the council. and aspirants for
those honors will presumably have their
favorite candidates out for counclmen.
1t is very probable that at least one
other convention will be called, and if
dissatisfaction is felt with the work
done others will be called.
The citizens should see TO it that the
best material is nominated. and what
ever Is done should be with an eye single
to the advancement of the city's inter
