ARK. POULTRY AND
 PEI STOCK ASSN.
Organization Completed Yesterday-A Poultry Show and Other Timely Topics Discussed.

There was a goodly gathering of poultrymen at the board of trade room yesterday afternoon and the organiza- ton was perfected, of the Arizona Poultry and Pet Stock association, that being decided upon as the official name. The officers elected are: c. F. COnnors. president; J. Westerfield, first vice president; Mrs. L. H. Yetter. sec ond vice president: Irving L. Hill, sec retary and treasurer.
 The officers were made a committee to formulate constitution and bylaws, and to the committee, A. D. Leyhe was added as special counsel. The commit tee will report at the next meeting The membership fee was placed at g., and every person interested in poul- try. or in pet stock Is invited to join. The pet stock feature s not closely de- fined and means every sort of domestic musical animal from a canary to a jackass, including cats and dogs.
 A paper on poultry raising in the Salt River valley was read by D. C.. Warren. a Black Minorca specialist, and was enjoyed by all. The question
 
 will not be acted upon until the next meeting which will be held sometime before the holidays, and the show if held. will be late in January. It seem ed to be the sense of the meeting that no birds would be admitted for exhi- bition except the owner was a member of the association. He might be a mem Der of the association and live in Cali fOrnia, but he must come in with his two dollars if he wants to show his stock. It is the purpose to make the show a sustaining feature of the asso- citation and in like manner, the asso- citation will help it's members. Among the new members who were enrolled yesterday. were. Messrs. Vernon l.. Clark. and William Pickrell. who have the largest poultry in the valley. Carl Hayden. who always had a weakness for chicken. properly served, and Frank LOveitt, proprietor of The Stockman.

This bird, called dara by the South

inches long. 1t is jet black; dotted all
over with small white feathers. 1t has
communication with the palate and

THE CITY MAN.
HIS Lot In Life Compared With Thae
OF the Farmer.

OF the Farmer.
Accor.in to the National Magazine.
''men III ii" cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
HOLIDAYS. Thousands and thousands Of
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises delve and
toll their entire lives away and at the
end are carted out to the cemeteries
without having had any more leisure
or enjoyment in their lives than a horse
on treadmill. The rut they toll along
in IS as narrow as a case knife" This
is not the farmers view Of the city
man, whom he sees only during Vaca-
ton, when the city man is taking a
brief and much needed rest. The farm
er sees him sporting his "glad rags
and mistakenly imagines him to be all
the year round only an idle butterfly,
consuming the produce Of the horny
handed son Of toll. The truth, it is
held, is that the city man, as a rule, is
the harder worker and gets much less
enjoyment out Of life. He longs for the
rural scenes and occupations Of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years.
a few Of the city folks make big let
Of money and get their follies and
amusements in the newspapers, but the
great n-jsasTfy Of city toilers live a
very monotonous and stupid as well as
a very laborious and poverty stricken
life. The farmer, it is concluded, has
s'the real thing" while the city man
has only barren aspirations and disap-
pointments. The contsnted farmer is
not only the wisest Bat the happiest

Arcow Throwing.

An old English sport that still sur
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow were in use is that Of arrow
throwing, and in parts Of Yorkshire it
is still made one Of the features Of ath-
letic meets. The arrows are straight
shafts three feet, long, without either
barb or feather, and are thrown by the
aid Of bit Of string wrapped about
the threwer's hand and about the butt
Of the arrow. A skillful man can SEND
the arrow 150 yards, though it requires
some experience to cause the arrow to
leave the string without tangllng. Once
the knack is acquired the sport is said
to be more Fascinating than putting the
shot or throwing the hammer.
