THE LAUNCHING OF A SHIP
Abundant Proof That an Automobile
 Is not a Sea Going Vessel.

The interesting and valuable discov- cry has been made that the automobile is not a marine craft. AutOmobilists will have to give credit for this rev elation to Mr. H. B. Crouch of the Eu- reka Market, to whom the information has come through a great deal of eX- Pense, annoyance and moisture. MT. Crouch lately purchased an autCmo- bile and has been engaged for the past week in trying it out. Last Sun day he. accompanied by Mrs. Crouch and MT. Charles Bowers and Miss Sharlot M. Hall the authOress, went to Tempe. Arriving at the river they found more water in it than they had expected to find. But that circHm- stance did not dismay Mir. Crouch. The automobile had never yet failed him under the most trying and difficult circumstances. There was no apparent reason why it could not run in the bed of the river in three or four feet of water It had run everywhere else.
 He pulled the throttle open a little wider and plunged in. Those who saw the performance said 1t was just like the launching Of a battleship. There was, it was true, no bottle of cham pagne broken over the bow of the au- tomobfe, but there was the same kind of a mighty splash. But the autOmo- bile, successfully launched, failed to meet the speed requirements of twen- ty knots an hour or any other num- Der of kncts. It stopped still. There was a controversy between the water and the gasoline flame and the auto mobile fingered around there for the settlement or it.
 Just then an Indian came along and N l- Q ,4, machine out. The Indian hove 10. came to the rescue and the automobile was dragged to the Tempe shore.
 Then another controversy arose; this time about the amount Of the salvage. The Indian named a sum that seemed to Mir. Crouch like a part payment on the machine and he declined to pay so much. The Indian on his part refused to accept anything less. Finally the Indian cut the negotiation short and restored the status quo by pushing the machine back into the water where he had found it.
 Other rescuers came along and took the machine out again. It was dragged to a livery stable and dried out re- plenished with gasoline and made ready for the return trip by the lower river route, at whose crossing there happened to be no water This expe- rience is recorded purely for the pur- pcse of showing that there is an es- sential difference between the ordinary automobile and the gasoline launch. Each is useful in it's place but neither is useful in the place or the other.

BIRTHDAY PARTY
CrittentOn Home to Celebrate Compile
 tion of Seven Years Life and WorH.

Phoenix has not many public institu- tions, but it has a few good and effec- tive ones. The Crittenton home has been established seven years, and is now ready to open it's eighth year of service. It has gwen a god account of it's eXistepce, and now that it has brOadened it's sphere it will nave better account yet to render. Heretofore il has been confined to rescue work, but during the year now closing the man agement found that the work was too limited in this sparsely settled terri tory and the institution was changed to admit of it's dcing larger work. It is now taking the place of a relief home for women who do not need moral rescue. It is a home for children otherwise homeless; it is running a bu- reau of information in favor of women and girls who are needing employ ment. There is certainly need of a place for relief of women who have met misfortune, and this need is now for the first time being fully met. Children can be saved from moral pol lution and can be given proper training in this temporary home. These who are ready for work and eager to be self-respecting members of society, need direction, and are now able to find it systematically given in Phoenix. This work is not confined to this ci.y, but is an institution for the whole Of Arizona. Cases of need have come from outside the limits, and such cases receive attention as quickly as do those more local. The matrCn in charge has proven ability, devotion and tact, and such a happy combination of qualities is so refreshing and so satisfying that others must do their part in co-opera- tion with her.
 Thursday of this week is the time fer the celebration of the birthday Of the home. A reception will be had from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until o'clock in the evening. The reception is for the purpOsG of welcoming the friends of the work and Cf letting those who are willing to become friends know what is being undertaken. It is worth while to see the place where the work is being done; it is worth while to chat with the matron in the very rooms where the work is being done. But there is something else to be gained by the coming together cf the people at that time. DCnations are invited. Each reader is asked by the managers

Cowpea Hay for Horses.

There is much said in recent years
about the cowpea plant That it can be
grown north and east and throughout
the middle west ia proved beyond a sin
gle doubt. Its merit lies in its value as
a short summer crop, its soil improving
power, and its feeding value.
As a cattle food we know il is good,
but not much is known about its value
for horses. A few notices have come
to view in the agricultural press about
its superior feeding value, but there
have been few, if any, actual expert
mental tests TO prove statements of its
admirers
A test was begun some time ago and
extended through a period of three
months Two high-grade Percheron
mares were used together as team
during the period, and both we're under
the same care, shelter, and worked side
by side. They were fed rations which
differed only in the substitution of cow
pea hay for bran. the other feeding
stuffs remaining the same in both. The
horse on the bran ration after the first
weighing held its own throughout the
period. Ten pounds of cowpea hay
given the other horse proved as valu
able for feeding as an equal quantity of
bran. In fact, it was found the one on
cowpeas really weighed at the end OF
the period more than at the beginning,
which showed beyond doubt that the
ration was satisfactory.
Tho c'wpea ration was also cents
less in daily cost This is a matter of
considerable importance, aud is much in
the favor of this feeding stuff for farm
horses Both rations we're thoroughly
satisfactory &C. W Burkett, North
Carolina, in American Agriculturist.

Thinning Apples for Profit.

Helpful work relative to time and
methods uf thinning apples has been
done by Prof s. A. Beach of the New
York experiment station. The date Of
thinning in these tests varied from June
q to July 25. He says the best results
seemed to be obtained by early thinning
the fruits being removed within three o.
four weeks after setting, without wait
ing for the second drop to be completed
The fruits should be removed by hand.
as no method Of shaking or whipping
can be depended on to remove inferior
specimens or to leave tho fruit evenly
distributed. The operation took from
one-half hour to five hours labor to
tree. Thinning reduces to some extent
the time and labor of picking and hand.
ling, since it lessons the number of culs
and low grade apples to be handled
The cost Of thinning should not exceed
fifty cents to tree.
Thinning apples will, if the crops are
heavy, add 10 to Is per cent. to the in.
tainsic value of the fruit by increasing
the size. by improving the quality and
by Frightening the colors. 1t will not.
on mature, we'll. established trees, ma.
terially influence the regularity of pro-
duction or the amount of fruit setting
for subsequent crops. The profit, If
there be any, must come from the crop
tbinned. 1t will, if judiciously applied.
protect the young trees from weakness
through everbearing. and will lessen the
loss from broken branches and splitting
OF mature trees.
The whole question, as it relates to
commercial orchards, is we'll summed
up in the words Of 7. b. Wilson, presi.
dent Of the New York State Fruit Grow
ers' Association, in whose orchards these
tests we're made: when there is a
general crop of apples and the crop. or
act. is very full, SO that the chance for
small fruit is very great aud widespread
over the country. think it would pay
TO thin to such an extent as to insure
good-sized fruit. Aside from this do
not think it would pay, only for the pro
lection Of the tree"
