MEXICAN BOY IS VICTIM
 OF BRUTAL HAVING

Tucson, Jan. 2s.--Owing to the al legged hazing of a Mexican boy. Au- relic Castanella, at the University of Arizona, Mexican Consul Arturo Elias probably will call for an international inquiry.
 The boy says he was brutally lashed on his bare skin with rope until he became insensible. He also says that on the night of Friday, Jan uary 19, he was shot in the head and wounded.
 President Babcock of the Univer. sity says: The story is grossly ex- aggerated. It is cock and bull story, and the boy has no grievance. have investigated the matter thor oughly"
 The boy had bandage around his head last night as he lay in the house of Arturo Elias, the Mexican consul. He is the son of the civil judge of Cananea, Mexico. He told a straight forward story. which the Star gives for what it is worth. He says that an American boy named Pother also
  CTS stripped him, took him out into the mountains and fiayed him until he became unconscious. according to Castaneiia.
 "On Tuesday night they whipped me-" he said. They took oil my clothes, put my head and legs in a trunk and thrashed me with piece of rope I tried to cry out, but one of them stuffed hls hand into my | mouth. They were mad because | emptied some water in the garden They were mad at Pother for the same reason.
 'T told one of the professors about it the next day. He laughed and said they were only playing. It did mol look like playing to me. Friday night I was in a room with another Mexican named Carpena- They had bored hsle through the door. They offered me a cigarette and when would not take it I heard some ons say.

AN IhSPELTOR TO VISIT
 THE DOUGLAS POST OFFICE

Douglas, Ariz.. Jan. 3.-(Special.)- )- | Yesterday Postmaster F. E. Cad well received a letter from F. H. general, in reply to the application | sent to the department requesting that free mail delivery be installed \ in Douglas. Mir. Caldwell sent with his application maps of the city and the
 resolutions of the city council ask | ing that a free mail delivery system be installed in this city.
 The work of numbering the houses
 of Douglas and posting the names
 of the streets at the various corners
 has been completed, and apparently l there is no obstacle now in the way that would prevent our citizens from securing this public convenience. to which We are entitled under the pos tai regulations.
 MT. Hitchcock, in his letter to the Douglas postmaster, states that an
 inspector has been detailed to visit
 Douglas and make examination of con
 ditions here and to learn if all the
 requirements entitling the city to the free mail delivery system have been
 met. Just when the inspector will ar
 rive was not stated, but he is expect,
 ed to be here in the very near future.
 On the conclusion Of his mission the inspector will make his report to the department at Washington. when Postmaster Caldwell is advised that the matter of the application will red ceive further consideration
 The people of Douglas are anxious i ly awaiting the coming of this public | convenience, and l. is very badly needed on account of the congested | condition of the postofice building | here, which is too small. in, the lob by. to accommodate the vast crowd which daily goes there. In the event ing, when the employees of the smel- ter are returning to the city. there is a perfect jam in the postofce. This would be relieved with free de- livery, as the men returning from office, but would receive their mail at home. ..
 When the inspector arrives in Doug las his attention shold be called to the necessity also in this vicinity for free rural delivery. Within a radius of ten miles up the Sulphur Springs valley there is a large population on ranches, who should have the free rural delivery service. and we be lieve that the government will un- dertake to accommodate these people if the matter is properly presented to the department Either there should be rural delivery of mail in this vi cinity. or there should be at least two additional postofices established in the Sulphur Springs valley-one at Pirtleville and one further up the valley.

Agricdltural Lore

grains are thrown in litter. Chan
straw or leaves. if dry, make good
litter for them to work in. The re
fuse from the hayloft that accumu-
lates on the barn floor in winter is a
scratching material that suits the
hens first-rate. They will amuse
themselves for hours in winter
scratching in the chaff on the barn
floor. They relish the clover leaves
and hay seeds, but few farmers care
to have hens loafing in the barn. It's
not much trouble to carry a few
baskets of the chaff to the poultry
house and scatter it on the floor. All
the available space of floor should be
utilized for this purpose. 1t will need
TO be stirred up once in a while and
changed when it gets too heavy.
In summer the hens get necessary
exercise hunting what they need on
free range. In winter we must plan
TO give them exercise. Throwing out
the grain where the hens can pick it
mp without any effort is the usual
metod of feeding. and with this meta
cd some of the timid hens do not get
enough and others get more than they
they need and become fat and slug
gish In this condition they will lay
few eggs, no matter how fine and
warm their home may be. Given plenty
to do, they won't suffer with the cold
if their house is not extra warm.
There is not much danger of frozen
combs in an open scratching shed it
given sheaf of oats or wheat to
thresh out The hens do not have to
be made to work, as we often say. All
they wont is a chance to work. Exer-
else and green food may be given at
the same time by hanging cabbage
turnips or any other vegetable high
enough so they will be obliged to
jump to get bite.
None profit by exercise more than
breeding stock. They must have a
chance to dig and hunt in winter same
as in summer, and allowed to run in
and out of their houses as they like,
except in the very worst winter
weather. The welhdoing of the hens
and next springs chicks is largely de-
pendent on the way we manage the
hens during winter. Some hens are
naturally busy, whether given much
encouragement or not These busy.
active hens are always the best layers.

Destroying Peach Tree Borers.

The only way practiced in this sec
ton is to dig them out fall and spring
We try to do it thoroughly in the fall
and then leave the trees for one year
but if not well and carefully done. in
that year they may have the trees very
seriously injured, says a Pennsylvania
correspondent of the New England
Homestead. The borers are very bad
in our mountainous sandstone soil an
must be looked after very carefully
We find the best way is to have a man
go ahead with an old mattock, remove
the earth from the collar of the tree.
a second man follows with hand
trowel, and an old knife: he has a
burlap sack filled with straw to kneel
upon. so as to keep dry. He digs out
the worms. The trees are thus left
exposed for a few days or week, and
then looked after again, with the idea
that any worms missed the first time
will manifest themselves by fresh bor-
ings, and can be gotten before the hol.
low is filed with soil. We try to fill
up more than level so as to encourage
the next crop of borers to work high
er up the trunk. They are easier got
ten out. We have found them down
among the roots, and so bad that the
tree was uprooted entirely in our eff
forts to destroy them.
