Many a young man is Of the opinion
that money produces thrift. 1t Is the
reverse; thrift produces money and
good business acumen guides him in
making more out Of that already made
by thrift. In the business Of making
money, however, one should net over
look his duty TO himself and family as
a man. Sometimes money gets such
strong possession Of some men that they
forget TO be men.

Toads should rank next to birds as
insect destroyers in the orchard and

the best friends the gardener has. Ev-

courage their increase.

The hired girl problem is getting
worse instead Of better. Many girls
seek employment in cities because the

privileges They then marry city men,
leaving the country boys to find com

not live on the farm, and both boys
and girls are lost to the farm.

It Is better for peach tree to bear
three bushels of large peaches than
three bushels Of small peaches. Why?
Because the large peach is mostly juice
-water-but the small peach is mostly
pit-dry matter. 1t is very hard on
tree TO mature big crop Of pits, but
not so hard TO produce big crop of
fruit. Thin the peaches severely and
the tree will live longer, other things
being equal.

H PROSPERITY
OF TONOPAH

A local correspondent writing to an
outside paper very truthfully has the
following to say about Tonopah and its
resources:
Mining men and men who invest in
high priced securities frequently ask if
Tonopah will make a permanent camp.
Those who know believe it to be so
already.
Tonopah today is a thriving, busy
town of some 5000 people. The larg-
est, wealthiest and most substantial
town in the silver State, it is the COM
mercial center and the general distrib-
uting point. Only six years ago it was
a desert waste waiting for men, money
and machinery to delve in and take its
only p~roduct-gold; and to distribute
resulting millions into various channels
Of trade. Considerable development
work was necessary to establish the
fact that the fabulously rich veins did
go down, and before a railroad could be
induced to build into a region where
there was no farming nor stock raising
nothing but desert mining. Today
this town has a railroad and within a
few months the Las Vegas and Tonopah
and the Salt Lake will be running
trains direct between here and Los
Angeles while two other railroads are
headed this way.
The last two years have been devoted
to proving up the large ore bodies,
placing heavier machinery, building
great ore bins, putting in air COM
pressors and drills and making prepare
tons to mine On a great scale for years
to come. 1t is reported from reliable
sources that there will be four mills, of
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-09-08

good size and modern appliances,
erected here by four of the leading
companies within the coming year.
Electricity has been the greatest aid to
mining that was ever introduced in the
desert. 1t is essential to progress
where coal, oil and gasoline are ~retailed
at high figures. Most of the big mines
use it altogether for hosting, running
air compressors, lighting shafts, ore
houses, machine shops and works. The
city is we'll lighted and various business
houses have motors to run machines
and electric fans. The service is as
good as in a modern city.
Tonopah has some fine business
blocks and two in course of erection
that will cost close to $500, 900, besides
several of smaller size. The three
national banks are very strong finan-
cially. Something over 5000, 900 a month
is paid out to miners alone in this
camp. Tonopah can boast of the finest
water and best water system of any
camp IN the desert, though it is piped
for several miles. The schools are
excellent, the weather is pleasant and
the nights are cool.
This desert city is in the heart of a
great mineral zone and will yield mil
lions annually for a long time. Tonopah
has now several mines that can be
classed as heavy and reliable producers,
and that will pay handsome dividends
to stockholders for several years to
come.

Women Wage Earn ers.

Two young Boston women. students
at the University of Chicago. have set
3efore themselves the difficult task Of
investigating the problems presented
oy the gainful employment of women
the United States So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages of the
Journal of Political Economy. they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
TO be deduced from the census re-
ports; but some of these results are
so interesting that the student of So
cial economics will await the compile
tion of the study with Impotence.
Feminine cor-e.ition with men is
subject on which il has been the
fashion TO dogmatize freely, but the
actual material on which to base ex-
act conclusions is surprisingly scan
ty, and any labor which furnishes the
needed data is labor we'll applied. II
has been often said. for instance, thai
women's invasion of fields of indus
trial activity hitherto restricted TO tht
male worker has increased the keen
ness of the competition for a liveli
hood, and whatever progress has beer
made by women in enlarging the mum

that even the changes IN the charae

HOW TO USE A CHAIR.
Very Few Women Seat Themselves
Gracefully-A Few Pertinent
Points Thereon.

The little woman looks odd in high

back ill-fitting, she has a misfit look
which Is as uncomfortable to the behold
er as il is to herself She looks and feels
and is out of place
In order TO appear to the best possible
advantage 1t Is essential that my lady
should be seated upon a chair that Is
neither too high nor too low. In her
own house she easily can arrange it so
she has chair just suited to her. II
follows that every drawing room should
be furnished with chairs of diversified
heights. When this is the case guests
Of all statures will be able to find chairs
that are exactly suited to them.

Har d Pest TO Fight.

The treatment for root maggots is
very difficult, owing 10 their manner
of working upon the plants The
treatment which is recommended is
not entirely satisfactory at times. The
method of dealing with this pest,
which has seemed most satisfactory
up to the present time, has been to
watch the different stages OF the in
sect and when the first maggots APP
pear TO be working in the plants 1t is
the practice TO open a furrow away
from the plants and sprinkle into this
furrow a quantity of tobacco dust,
afterwards recovering the furrow.
Another mtthod is 10 apply at this
time carbolic acid emulsion made in
the proportion of one pint crude car
bolic acid, one pound soap and one
gallon, water This should be diluted
in 80 parts water and applied near
the plants along the row. Either OF
these treatments will in general be
somewhat satisfactory. We are at
present planning TO take up the onion
maggot problem during the coming
season and hope we may be able to
get more conclusive results.-H. e.

and pasture of this grass. If taken
care of, will last for many years. The
grass starts TO grow very early in
the spring and flowers in the northern
United States in June. II likes a
limestone soil, and on soil rich in
lime 1t establishes itself by forming a
very compact sod.
This grass is better adapted to pas
ture than to hay meadow, for the rea-
son that it does not work well into the
rotations Ii takes three or four years
for il to form compact sod. When a
pasture has been once taken by blue
grass, the farmer has something that
will stay by him through cold and
heat, food and drouth. In Kentucky
the farmers pride themselves on the
luxuriance of their blue grass pas
lures, some of which are more than
SO years old. 1t flowers but once in
the season. but after being grazed or
cut it quickly sends up a new vigor-
Gus growth.
The grass does well in rather dry
soils, but will adapt itself to almost
any soil, even TO the wet meadows
In Kentucky and other states in which
the winters are mild it is used, says
the Farmers Review, for winter pas
lures and it is not infrequent that
herds are kept on it the year around.
1t does particularly well where trees
are scattered about to give ii partial
shade during the hot days of summer.
