 CLIPPING THE CLUB PAPERS Members of the Maricopa- -Hassayampa club are complaining that some mem ber or casual visitor at the club room has formed the very bad habit of clip ping from the periodicals that come to the club room, such items as ne finds of interest to himself for one reason or another. The papers are kept on file in the club room for the con venience of all members and guests and are there to be read but not to be mutiIated or clipped from. The item that interests one Phoenix reader most likely will interest another and it is irritating to club member to go there purpOsely to read a certain paper and find the very item he wants cut out of it

BOOKS FOR GREAT COMMANDER.
Library Napoleon Ordered Comprised
Many Subjects.

In 1903 Napoleon formed the idea of
having a travelling library in order to
make his hours of intellectual recre-
alton independent of the exigencies
of a campaign or the delays of a
courier.
The proposed library was to form
about a thousand volumes. The books
were to be of small duodecimo size.
printed in good type, and without mar
gins in order to save space. They
were to be bound in morocco, with
flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to
be covered with leather and lined with
green velvet, and were to average
60 volumes apiece, in two rows like
the shelves in a library. A catalogue
was to accompany them, so arranged
that the emperor could readily find
any desired volume. The distribution
of subjects was as follows: Forty
volumes on religion, 40 of epic poetry,
40 Of the drama, 60 volumes of other
poetry, go volumes of history and
100 novels. I'm order to complete
the quota" ran the instructions, "the
balance shall be made up of historical

son, In the Atlantic.

MADMAN ON ROOF
REPELS RESCUERS.

On arising In the morning DAILY,
who is powerful and weighs 1870
pounds, crept from his ward to the
back porch, where inmates take their
walks. There is a porch on every
floor. all inclosed by a stout iron net.
ting to prevent escape. This netting
runs from the ground to the roof.
DAILY worked a hole in it, and. worm.
ing his way through, found himself
on the outside. clinging to the mesh.
Instead of jumping-he was on the
first f1oor-he began climbing up.
clinging to the heavy wire like a
squirrel. Before he had assembled to
the next story he was seen by attend
ants. But as he refused to descend
it was thought best to let him have
his way, the guards believing it would
be easy to induce him to come down
later.
Several attendants followed DAILY to
the roof. He seated himself on the
stone cornice and watched them ap-
proach. They mounted to the summit
of the ridge of the roof and as a first
venture tried soft arguments. DAILY
was scornful and defiant. He warned
his pursuers to leave him alone or
he would jump.
The city firemen at the Jefferson
station were called. They ran a ladder
to the eyrie perch of the maniac. AS
a fireman mounted to the roof DAILY
drew back, mumbling and renewing
his threats. The plan was a failure
and was given up, the ladder being
left in place.
1t was now the middle of the fore
noon and the roof grew hot in the
rays of the midsummer sun. Daily
shifted from one foot to another to
save his shoeless soles. The crowd
saw him remove most of his clothing
and wondered what form his dementia
was to take next.
This clothing was laid on the ledge
and DAILY stepped on it. He had
found cool footing and cheated the
sun. For hours, through the middle Of
the day, he vas e e standing erect,
silhoutted against the sky, or finding
temporary relief in sitting on his i'm
%provised cushion.
AS dinner time came many of the
watchers left the grounds. Superin-
tendent White asked the others to
depart, and soon there was not a
person to be see in the vicinity of the
building. Numbers having failed, DIR.
White thought he would e If DAILY
would not come down of his own &C.
cord when left alone.
DAILY, however, showed no signs of
quitting his perch. 1t became dusk.
and at length it was impossible to
discern his figure. Then DR.. Whites
inspiration came to him.
The result was, as stated, that the
superintendent lured the patient to
safety.
After DAILY had been returned to his
ward it was seen that he had suffered
no injury beyond %blistering his feet.

70 SET STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
October and November, or Late In
February or Early March.

Answering an inquiry from Missis-
sippi. Farm and Fireside says:
Probably the best time to set out
strawberry nne would be in OctO-
Der or November. OF late in February
or early in March. When this work
is done it is most important to see
that only young plants are used. These
are easily distinguished from the old
one by their white roots, the roots
of the old plants being quite black.
1 think it is a good plan to burn
over strawberry beds Immediately
after they have stopped bearing. In
order to do this successfully the beds
should be moved close to the ground,
and when the material has dried 1t
should be burned. Then the soil be-
tween the rows should be worked up
until in a loose condition. The bed
should now be allowed to stand until
the plants start again, when the rows
should be weeded and thinned out.
This treatment Is. adapted only to
old beds that are in good condition;
where the old beds are weak it will
be impossible to get good results from
this method of treatment.
While strawberry beds may be
burned over to advantage when the
material on them is perfectly dry
and the conditions are such that the
burning will be very quick and not
cause any excessive heat in any n
place, yet if the material Is somewhat
wet, or if it is in piles, the plants will
frequently be killed out if burned un-
der these conditions. In the case OF
long-continued very wet weather, l
have sometimes had so many weeds
and so much mulch on the beds that
I have found it impossible to burn ali
of it, and have carted off a portion
and burned the rest.

A GEoRGlAN's EXPERIENCE.

a Poor Farm,

Has Small Dairy Near cordova, On
a Poor Farm.
Editor Southern C%ultivator: / want
to tell you what l am doing. I am
33 years old, and have farmed on rent
ed land all my life until about Is
months ago.. J did not have a dollar
in the world. only as l made it by
the sweat Of my brow. l owned three
milk cows, and l bought be a very
poor farm on credit for $500; a pair
of horses, wagon, spring wagon, and
sever more COWS. Then l managed to
get money enough to buy a barrel
churn holding IS gallons, milk cans,
a brick butter mold, 480 sheets butter
paper. and so gallon jars, and started
up what they call in these parts a
dairy. I haul my stuff six miles to
Cordova. l sell my buttermilk for
10 cents, butter for 25 cents, and my
sweet milk for 40 cents. l have been
very successful. OF the seven cows
bought, 1 got two good Jerseys, and
n half-breed. The three I had, one
was Jersey, and the other two half,
so you see | have a mixed herd.
Cd What breed do you think would
pay me best in dairy products? (2)
Do you think ~cotton-seed meal inju.
rious to cows fed in large quantities?
(3) What kind of feed gives best re-
suits? "a What can l do for a COW
with the gravel? l have to buy all
my feed. l have pleny of land to
grow it, but have no help. My fam
lily consists of a wife and two small
boys. Can't get any hired help.
Cordova, Ala. L. A. P.
Comment by the Editor:
l.. We would advise you to keep
Jerseys. Buy you a fine, registered
Jersey male, and breed up your Nerd.
2. Yes; feed not more than four
pounds per day to each cow. 1t Is
fine given in this quantity, with plenty
CO hulls or hay.
3. Thirty pounds of hulls, 10 pounds
of bran, four pound of cottonseed
meal per day.
4. 1t is a difficult thing to cure. A
veterinarian might cure her. The best
thing to do is to fatten such a COW
and kill her for beef. If she has too
great pain at any time you can relieve
her by giving her two ounce of laud-
anum, and battle her loins with warm
water. A little turpentine given in
some sweet milk is also a good rem
edy.

HERE N THERE.

1T is a very great advantage for
fresh cows to have exercise. The mo-
ticn of the legs in walking is the best
possible treatment for feverish udder.
1t is the closely-confined COW that has
milk fever.
The character of the farmer is
written or painted all over his farm
about this time of the year. If there
is not a large amount of green fields
of small grain on your farm there is
some kind of a green farmer around
there.
Although 1t may be in the future,
the time is not far distant when it
will be recognized that every man who
has charge of a farm must have had
q training in applied science.
Scarcity of labor calls for more
stock and more machinery and farm
implements and richer land. You must
go fewer times up and down the rows,
and prepare one acre to make as much
as two did before.
"A good two-horse disc harrow will
throw up about as good cotton bed at
one-time going as we want. This Is
good work where land has been
broken, and saves a big sight Of labor,

SNAKE SET DANGER SIGNAL
Reptiles Choice of Sleeping Place
Made Trouble for Employees Of
4 the Railroad.

Running at the rate of 65 miles an
hour near Harrisburg. Pa, a train
of the Philadelphia & Reading rail
way, filled. with passengers. came to
a sudden stop, halted by the red light
Of a block signal.
After waiting the minute in which
a train is supposed to clear the short
blocks. the engineer proceeded with
caution, expecting a wreck or at least
a broken rail. When he came to the
next signal post the white light was
shining bright and clear.
He did not stop to investigate and
in spite of his fears of a medical *
animation to determine II he could
distinguish between white and red
light, he reported the occurrence. An
inspector was sent at once to the pole
and found the red still showing.
A thorough investigation overhead
and above ground showed no defect.
The inspector finally removed the top
of the underground case which con-
tains the electric connections with the
rails.
A garter snake % inches long lay
comfortably coiled, it's head cushioned
on the delicate spring, depressing it
so that it made the contact neces-
sary to set the signal at danger.
A second after the snake was dis.
covered the semaphore dropped from
the danger to the clear position and a
white light cleaned from the pole.

Ram and Dog in Combat.

A prize RAM, belonging to John w.
Larrick, Of Charlottesville, this coun-
ty, the other day defended a flock of
sheep attacked by dogs, and lost his
life after a desperate battle with a
fierce Great Dane.
The ram and the dog fought for
three-quarters of an hour, deep holes
being torn in the sod where the en-
counter took place, but the superior
size and strength of the dog proved
too much for his weaker adversary,
and the ram was finally killed. Four
ewes were killed before the dogs were
beaten off.
After a chase Of nearly five miles,
Mr.. Larrick and his sons killed the
dogs, six shots from a revolver being
required to put IN end to the Great
Dane. - Winchester correspondence
