THE BUSINESS OF FARMING
Il Has Taken Great Strides IN raS'
Fifty Years.

Farming is the foundation OF CIVIL
i7ation II is the basis OF all othei
creations of what we call ciVlIlzaIlon'
BEFORE it was developed, nations "eio
savage The nations that have peeh
most civilized have paid the most a''
tention to agriculture. The sa'dse1
regard it of such little importance tnat
the men generally consider it III
occunation for the weaker sex. All
the products of our country are reaiiy
dependent on agriculture, ana the
more enlightened the agriculture Ine
more prosperous will be the natioh'
Until man began to till the neluS VIC
cannot conceive of him doing any ID"
bor, Hunting and fishing were more
in the nature of recreation than ol
labor. The business Of farming IS one
that greatly affects the character lol
by it man is brought into close con-
tact with nature. For this reason
farmers have always been regarded
as the mainstay of every nation. HOT
ace. in reviewing the glorious history
of the Roman commonwealth, says
that the heroes that won the DatIles
that made the nation great were not
from the cities, but were from the
farms of the country, where they mad
been taught morality. The business
of farming has undergone great
changes in the last so years. IaKeh
as a whole the business of farming
was far harder 80 years ago than II
is to-day. Many farmer will remem'
ber that in the old days, when the
crops were large and all work had 10
be done by hand, it was exceedingly
difficult to get enough men to save the
crops. 1t was therefore necessary
that men begin work early and con-
tinue to labor till late. 1t was not I'M
common, during haying time and the
time of harvesting the wheat crop, Tor
the laborers to be in the field by hve
o'clock in the morning and work I'LL
the stars were shining at night. II
foul weather threatened they worked
even under moon and stars. That was
not considered unreasonable labor, for
the gathering of the crops was looked
upon as emergency work. Now the
horses and machines do in a few hours
more than the men by the old process
es could do in the longest day. A ten
year.old boy, with the proper ma
chimes and horses, will do more work
now in an eight hour day than several
men would then do in a 16 hour day.
At that time the farmer was looked
upon as the hardest working man in
the country, little time being left him
for mental improvement. 1t is no sur
prise then, says the Farmers Re.
view, to know that at that time
wheat brought a much higher price
than in this day. 1t cost more in
labor. The business of farming
has taken great strides forward
and is no longer looked upon as
the business requiring the greatest
amount of drudgery and giving the
least amount of comfort. The farmer
of to-day is not the kind of man the
comic papers picture. The progress
i've farmer of today is gentleman
and is doing business in a business
way. The business Of farming Is as
much commercial enterprise as is
any business that is carried on in the
city.

 Just as we were going to press news came from Troy to the effect that Frank Watson met with an accident ir the mine that necessitated the ampu. tation of one of his arms: We coulc not ascertain the particulars. Frank has many friends here who will regret his misfortune.
 k. O. Sewers was in town Saturday from Winkleman conferring with Gen. Mgr. John w. Sharpe of the Arizona Pacific company in regard to his plan for the development of the Woods Sewers Independence group of copper claims, on which the. Arizona-P Pacific company recently secured bond.
 The permanent survey of the pro- posed railroad from Florence to Super for is about finished and the plans for the construction of the road, and also for the smelling plant to be erected at this end of the line, are about com pleted. In the meantime sinking in the main shaft at the mine is progrsss- ing rapidly and the 1OOO- foot station will soon be reached.

 Journal and Bulletin

The regular January term of the dis trict court will be called in Solomonville on Monday, April End. On the 27th inst. The supreme court meets at Phoenix.
 On the first of the month there was S7O, ,556.02 in the county treasurer's hands. Of this amount about $27, 900 is school, bond and road money, leaving over $43,000 in the county's general fund. Treasurer Clark believes that this, with what the assessor will collect on personal property taxes, will be ample to pay all demands that will be allowed at the April meeting of the supervisors.
 Last week the Bulletin told how Antonio Gonzales and Nicanor Line, two Mexican boys committed to the Territorial Industrial school by Judge Nave, had been refused admission at that institution by Supt. James Ma honey. And now Supt. James Mahoney, formerly justice of the peace in Navajo county, is cited to appear before the district court on March 17th, at 10 o'clock, to show cause why he should not be punished as for contempt of court.
 A citizens mass convention held in Stafford nominated the following muni- cipal ticket: Council-D. w. Wicker sham, Geo. A. Olney, J. c. Robinson, Geo. P. Jacobson, J. J. Birdno. Town Clerk-H. L. Castle. Town Marshall w. D. Robertson. Supervisor Streets Chris. Madsen.
 c. D. Roberts, from Pasadena, Cal. arrived in Stafford last Sunday to assume management of the new Creamery, which it is hoped will be in operation within sixty days. All the machinery has arrived and is now on the ground ready to be installed. The engineer who is to set up the machinery will begin at once to put it in position ready for use. MT. Roberts has had an ex- tensive experience in the creamery business, which will be of inestimable value to the company in the successful operation of their plant.
 The big three story mill building across the street from the Birdno store was sold last Saturday for several years back taxes, John J. Birdno be- ing the purchaser.
