POTATO RAISING.

POTATO RAISING.
For the farm Of few acres
under cultivation, perhaps the
most proftab BILE crop that can be
raised to sell off the farm is the.
potato crop; and, besides, this
section of the state seems es-
pecially adapted for the growing
of potatoes. In fact, it may be
taken for granted that where
ever clover is grown potatoes
may also be grown successfully.
The Experiment Station has
given considerable attention to
potatoes, especially in testing
different varieties. Over Is
varieties have been grown al
together, so of which were grown
continuously for four years. The
Carmen potato has given the best
yield. tt is a good table potato,
a good keeper and is one Of the
most acceptable varieties on the
market. 1t is late potato, white
in color and oval in shape. This
variety has been used for the
field potato on the Experiment
Farm for a number of years and
has proven as satisfactory as in
the variety list.
Of the early varieties the EARLY
Sunlight, Early Ohio, Early Rose,
and Prizetaker have given the
best results.
The yield Of potatoes has varied
greatly from 100 to $50 bushels
per acre. according to the
variety, the kind and fertility Of
soil, the season and various minor
influences. Under average field
conditions the yield runs from
100 to 200 bushels per acre, one
year with another. The past
year, 1905, was very unfavorable,
the crop on low ground being
entirely drowned out. The field
crop on higher land yielded $50
bushels per acre. Of the small
plots, under more favorable con-
ditions, the best yield was 200
bushels per acre, while in 1904
the highest plot was $50 bushels
per acre.
Other things being equal, the
richer the soil the higher the
yield. For this reason it is
recommended to always manure
the popato crop. A green crop
of clover plowed under is very
good form of fertilizer. Space
will not permit to explain in de-
tail the various experiments con
Quoted in the growing of
potatoes. This will be ublished
at some later date. The conclu-
sions drawn from the expert
ments, however, may be stated
here briefly:
A sandy soil gives better re-
suits than a clay soil. Manuring
the soil greatly increases the
yield. Good, sound seed is
necessary to produce good
crop. Small potatoes used for
seed will prod uce small potatoes.
Potatoes planted whole produce
one or two large potatoes and a
great many small ones. The
best results are obtained when
the potato is cut down to one eye
in a piece and one piece planted
in hill. The sooner planted

Ht MET A STRANGER
 AND TOOK HIM IN
For Which Juan Ramirez is BiIIeted
 for the Penitentiary.

The only case in district court yes terday was that of the territory against Juan Ramirez, charged with grand larceny. Ramirez was arrested several months ago for rolling @ stranger by the name of Noah Mar tin. whose acquaintance he had formed in the Columbus saloon. Martin mad recently arrived in town with about $800 Tn the evening he took in those parts of town where a stranger is GiV- en the least protection.
 Officer Troops had seen Martin in the company of Ramirez and others and having occasiOu later to take Martin into custody he found that ne had seven new five dollar bills issued by the National Bank of Riverside. Cal. These bills were numbered con secutiVely.
 When Martin complained of having been robbed Constable Troops arrested Ramirez and found in his possession a Riverside National Bank bill whose number ft in with those in the pos session of Martin. This kind Of evil dence was nard to get away from, especially when taken in connection with the fact that Ramirez had been seen with Martin the night before 
 In the course of the testimony yes terday Martin said that he was not drunk, but that ne was laboring under the effects of knock out" drops He said that he had arrived in town in the morning and had one drink. He drank nothing more until evening. when he took q drink at the York saloon and then sank into stupor
 At this point in the testimony Judge Kent became interested and ques- toned the witness further as to his knowledge that he had been given a drug. He further directed the district attorneys office to take the matter mp and ascertain if there is a place in town where knock out" drops are ad- ministered.
 It did not take the jury long to find verdict of guilty against Ramirez. He will be sentenced tomorrow.

led an active business life there n partnership with man named O'Brien, the firm. it is understood, having be- come quite wealthy. He was married and lived happily until the death of his wife. who was an invalid for many years. So far as could be learned here, they had no children. After the death of Mrs Riggs he was Overtaken by business reverses and lost practically his entire fortune.
 He then turned his eyes to the west to begin life over again, but never lost interest in Wisconsin, and particularly in Milwaukee. which was the scene of his earlier achievements. He was a member of the Milwaukee board of trade, and it is said he retained his membership in that organization until the end, forwarding his dues annually, though he had little part in the affairs of the board.
 He came to Arizona about eighteen years ago, spending the first year in Williamson valley, in Yavapai county,
Arizona republican., 1906-05-02

being engaged there in ranching. The next year he came to Phoenix which was his home until he moved to Wick enburg about four years ago. In Phoenix he followed for the most part the business of carpentering. He first opened q shop at the corner of Adams and Second streets, and later had shops in different places. For many years his abode was in an adobe house that once stood on the lot now occu- pied by the Doris opera house and which was one of the oldest houses on the town site. an early-day landmark.
 About four years ago MT Riggs moved to Wickenburg and opened a blacksmith and wheeIwright shop, which he conducted until his last ill., ness. on the death of John A. Boyd. the board of supervisors appointed him justice of the peace to ill the vacancy in the Wickenburg precinct. He was well-read man and was always In- terested in whatever seemed to him to be for the benefit and upbuildIng 0r any community in which he lived. He bore the respect of all who knew him. even of those who disagreed with him.
 for he was Q man of pronounced con victiOns and never hesitated to defend them on every proper occasion. He was a devout member of the Catholic church. and it is understood his last request was that his body should be sent to Milwaukee and placed beside that of his wife. Funeral arrange ments have not yet been announced

Bad Stomach Makes
 Bad Blood.

You can not make sweet butter in a foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves Gs churn in which to agitate, work up and disintegrate our food as it is being digesJed If it be weak. sluggish and foul the result will be torpid, sluggish liver and bad. impure blood.
 The ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are just such as best serve to correct and cure all such de- engagements. It is made up without drop of alcohol in it's composition: chem ically pure, triple-relined glycerine being used instead of the commonly employed alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a valuable medicine. instead of a deleteri- ous agent like alcohol. especially in the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the various forms of indigestion. Prof. Finley EllingwOod. NJ. D., of Bennett Medical College, Chicago. says Of 1t:
 "In dyspepsia it serves an excellent pur- pose. It iS one of the best manufact- ured products of the present time in its especially if there is alteration or catarrhal gastritis Catarrhal inflammation of stomach), It iS most efficient preparation. GIycerine VIII relieve many cases Of pyrOsiS theartburn) and excessive gastric acidHy. It is useful in chronic intestinal dyspepsia. especially the Hdtuient Vartety. and m certain forms of chronic constipation, stimulating the secre- tory and eXcretory functions of the intestinal glands"
 When combined, in just the right propor- tiOns, with Golden Seal root. Stone root Black Cherryb bark, Queens root, Blood root ana ManQrake root. or the extracts of these, as in Dr. PierceS Golden Medical Discovery, there can be no doubt of it's great efficacy in the cure of all stomach, liver and intestinal disorders and derange- ments. These several ingredients have the strongest endorsement in all such cases of such eminent medical leaders as Prof. R- BarthOlOw. NJ D.. of Jefferson Med ical College. Chicago; Prof. Hobart A. Hare M D., of Medical Department. University of Pa; Prof Laurence Johnson. NJ. D.. Medical Department, University of New York: Prof Edwin Nj. Hale, M- D.. Hahnemann Medical College Chicago: Prof. John NJ. Scudder NJ b. and Prof John King. NJ. D.. Authors of the Amerlcan DisDensatory, and scores of others among the leading medical men of our land.
 Who can doubt the curative virtues of medicine the ingredients of which have such a professional endorsement?

MUCH TIME CONSUMED.

In this country it has been estimated that the
irregular spelling Of the English language causes
g loss of two years of the school time Of each
child is the main cause of a great deal Of Hit
eracy and represents cost Of millions Of dol
lars annually for teachers.
In learning to spell English words, one must
depend in a large measure on the appearance Of
the word and the memory THE effect of
the teaching Of English spelling" said DR.. VIII
lam T. Harris, when United States Commission
er Of Education, has been in all English speak
ing nations TO force the primary education into
the work Of verbal memOrizing. In China a
separate character Of complicated shape must
be learned for each word, hence Chinese learning
is proverbiaI for the stress it lays upon verbal
memory. Next 10 China stand the English
speak king nations as regards the stress which Is
laid upon verbal memory IN school. Few adults
can write a long letter without making mistake
in spelling some word. DR.. Morrell, one Of the

tons in Great Britain 1866 candidates owed
