The Own. Knows Best.

The keeper of poultry will find it to his advantage to build his poultry house according to his opn judgment and not be influenced to any great ex. tent by what the carpenter says about it, says Farmers Tribune.
 Carpenters have completely spoiled many poultry houses which cost enough money to be buildings of the most servieeable kind And they were good carpenters. too. but they lacked the special knowledge required to construct poultry house The ma jority of the carpenters will run the walls up too high They want the structure to appear well proportioned. and if it were being put up solely with view to appearances their ideas about it would be exactly right These high walls are useless expense But that is not the worst of it The hens are better off in low roofed buildings They will be more comfortable, and will give better results in the way of eggs. This is a fact which has been confirmed by the experience of nearly every one who has given much atten- ton 10 poultry keeping The house should be just high enough to enable the owner to comfortably do his work inside of it. The highest joint of the roof of one of our poultry houses is ten feet from the floor. and this house though as close and warm as it is pos sible to make it. is the next thing to a failure as a place to keep laying hens in winter We shall not build a poultry house in future which will be more than six feet high at any point.

WEEKLY. CROP BULLETIN.

For the Week Ending August 15, 1904.
 The weather conditions continue fa- vorable to agricultural and stock inter- ests. The weather was generally warm CT than during the preceding week and showeIy conditions prevailed. AS dur ing the previous week, the showers were of local nature. and though good rains fell at some time during the week over most of the territory. in some To- calities the rainfall was very light. There is an ample supply of irrigation water. though it is very muddy and fills up the ditches rapidly. ClOudiness and high atmospheric humidity have favored the growth of vegetation by checking evaporation from the soil. In the lower Cobra do valley the condition of crops Is generally excellent, as pre- viously reported. The supply of irri gation water is abundant but it is nos being used freely because it is so mud dy: The fifth crop of alfalfa is coming on slowly. In the other parts of the territory there has been a decided i'm proyement in the condition of growing crops generally. Much of the late planted corn and sorghum is up and in promising condition, and planting IS still in progress. Earlier corn and sor : ghum are now generally doing well. Much wheat has been harvested in the northern districts, and harvesting is now in progress. Late grain is grow ing nicely. Alfalfa IS generally doing well There is a heavy fourth crop in Graham county. Much of the second crop has been harvested in northern z, ;,L rupted to some extent by showers. The prospects for a potato crop have i'm proved. Garden truck has continued to do well. Water is plentiful on rang es, and grass and weeds have made rapid growth. The prospects for winter feed are now generally good, though iu some localities more rain is needed tc cause the best growth of grass. Al kinds of stock continue to make rapid improvement.

A CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
Carl Hayden of Tempe Announced by
 His Friends.

It has ben given out that Carl Hay den vii be candidate before the Gem- ocratic county convention for the nom ination for sheriff. IL had been under stood that J. Elliott Walker would have a clear field for the nomination. Early in the season there were several possibilities but one by one they drop ped out of the field until nobody was in sight but MT. Walker and Mir. Orme All the time MT. Orme was re- maining in the field under protest and finally quit it altogether.
 Those who were the most laboTiously engaged in tearing the clothes of Of him to keep in the race were w. B. Cleary, Ve1ron Clark, E. E. O'Nein and C. B. Wood. As soon as Mir. Orme disappeared behind the horizon his late supporters began looking about for a successor.
 There was only one man they could think of. He was Carl Hayden and he was abroad. Soon after the return of MT Hayden laden with the hOnors thrust upon him or which he had other wise acquired at St. Louis, he was ap- preached on the subject of his candi dacy. One of the arguments present ed to MT Hayden was that in his ab- senCe he had come to be regarded as the Moses Of Arizona. He had struck the rock at St. Louis out Of which statehood was to flow for Arizona. lie was the man specially selected to lead the territory into statehood after forty years of wandering in the wilderness Of vassalage. The people, he was told, would follow him anywhere, even through the office of the sheriff.
 It is understood that MT. Hayden has the matter under advi=emeat bat h-s friends say that he has already writ ten his decision, but is withholding it. They also say that he will go before the convention.
