skim ming, some sort Of a guess
can be made of the comparative
richness of the milk from differ.
ent cows. This guess will not
be worth very much. but it will
be better than a guess with prac.

Many farmers would no doubt
prefer to depend on the appear

its richness-or whether i, looks

Farm Dairying

From letters received by the
Gazette. II IL evident that some
who r doing general farming
and paying very little attention
to dairying are being misicd by
dairy papers. Either these pa
pcrs have advised those doing
general farming TO do things
that only those who r making
a specially of dairying can do
p%rofitably, or some who are do
ing general fsrming have been
careless abou, modifying for
their own conditions what has
been advocated for those max.
ing = speciality OF dairying. 4
reader OF agricultural papers
should always carefully deter.
mine whether the conditions
mentioned in an article are like
his conditions. If this n not
done reading may be a hindrance
rather than an aid 10 success.
One should no, only read. but he
should read undcrstandingly.
One cannot read understand
ingly unless he considers the
conditions involved ia every
case. Any other kind OF read
ing will make the farmer finally
say that no paper a help him
with his work.

EDITOR GAzETTE:

EDITOR GAZETTE:
In Pontotoc County a few
years ago and maybe 10 other
counties a large creek was
Strengthened by cutting a big
ditch from the source to the
mouth. l think it was done by
taxing those who owned lands
in the creek swamp. Can you
or any Of your readers give me
the plan by which it was done?
Many Of US in this county are
interested in the subject.
J.. II. Il. BERRY,
Brandon, Miss.
Answer by editor: Details
cannot be given OF the plan mem
toned. but the work was proba-
bly, done by virtue Of special
legislation. Such work might
be done by an agreement be.
tween all the interested persons.
II there are any unreasonable
land owners TO be dealt with or
il the number Of owners il large.
il will be decidedly better to
draw up an agreement that the
distribution Of expenses shall be
made BY certain specified
board OF disinterestcd persons.
Have all sign this agreement
before any work in done and be
sure that everyone who signs
the agreement IS qualified in all
respects TO enter into the agree
mcus aud that be can be com.
PEELED TO pay his debts. Such
IA agreement as this might get
results more quickly and with
fewer lawsuits than would re-
suit from doing the work by
virtue OF any general or SPECIAL
law. II anyone can give the de-
tails OF the plan asked for BY
DR.. Berry. please send them TO
the Gazette by early mail.

Housekeepers. try this plan
with a few jars of fruit or vege-
tables. Steaming is the best
process Of cooking fruit for can
ming; but where there is nc
steamer to be had. the process
OF boiling IN any close boiler as
given by the household editor in
the July l issue is good. Pre-
pare the fruit or vegetables az
desired, place in the jars. steam
or boil till done. in the case of
fruit have the syrup (made
Of sugar and such seasoning
as desired) prepared and at 4
slow boil. Pour the syrup over
the fruit while both are at the
boiling point. Have a piece Of
care board cut round, so il will
drop in loosely on top Of the
fruit. Also for each jar have =
square piece Of carded cotton
COTTON batting) large enough TO
cover the top Of the jar and fold
down the sides. so it can be tied
with a string.
After pouring the boiling hot
syrup over the boiling hot fruit,
drop the cardboard in and cover
the jar with the cotton and tie it
down over the side ~ quickly as
possible. The theory is that
the germ that causes fermenta.
ton has been killed in the fruit
by the cooking. aud the cotton
prevents the germ from gaining
an entrance. All goods ia cans
or jars should be kept ia a dark
closet made for that purpose,
aud the cotton covered Jars
should be handled with great
care so as not to wet the cotton.
After being put away. the jars
should not be moved till their
contents r to be used. Care
should also be taken that the
closet is mouse aud rat proof,
for by running ove the soft cot
ton they would punch holes. thus
letting in the germ of fermenta-
ton that must be kept out.
Pickles and vegetables are to be
treated by the same process,
substituting hot water or other
liquid preparations for the
syrup, according to taste.

A STRICKEN CITY.

The flood waters of the San Fran cisco river and Chase creek have again caused gerat loss of life and property at Clifton. the Graham coun- ty mining camp. During the last two years this city has been four times visited by damaging floods which caused the loss of life. The flood oi the present week is described as the most narrowing and devastating oi any in the past.
 Full details of the disaster could mol Ee obtained yesterday because of the destruction of railroads and telegraph wires. The experience of Clifton with floods calls to mind the tenacity with which people will hold on to danger. ous and threatening localities. re building on the very same spots where there possessions have been several times destroyed by the elements. It was the same spirit which caused the people of Galveston to rebuild that city larger than ever after its destruction by a great tidal wave which causes the people of Clifton to continue to rebuild their business houses on the dangerous banks of the San Francisco river and on the banks of Chase creek.
 So long as the Arizona Copper com pely maintains its reduction plant al the mouth of Chase creek so lang VII, the property owners in that vicinity refuse to abandon their business locs tons. It is a battle for gold and what the hupan family will not risk to gain wealth has yet to be discov cred. V is quite likely that the food sufferers at Clifton will get busy h clearing away the debris left as re suit of this last horrible flood visita ton in preparation of building other and perhaps more substantial and costly business houses.
 It is to be hoped that Clifton will meyer heva such another experience with the- Pods again, but the proba bi1itfess art that such havoc will oc cur as long as the town remains where it is.
 It would probably be a conservative estimate to say that the expense to the Arizona Copper company caused by destructive floods would build two such smeiting plants as the one now buried with wrecked houses, bouiders and drowned human bodies.
 It has been suggested that the Ckf. ton flood sufferers may need assist ance; should this prove to be the case. the mining camps of the territory. we predict, will be quick with liberal response. but we think that the Ari. zona Coprer scompany will meet all cases of indigency which may arise as a result of the flood.

PAY OF FEDERAL EMpLoYEs.


 In ,Bisbee and Arizona in general the following editorial from the Washing ton Post will be of interest. especially so as it is so difficult to secure post office employees at the poor price paid for the work by Uncle Sam:
 Everybody In the United States with the exception of the bureau of ,asor. knows tha. the priceAlef liv. ing has increased. The official report Of he bureau of labor is supposed tc furnish authentic statistics of the cost of living. and other government bureaus. presumably, are expected to accept these figures. set certain in creases have been allowed in the postofice department On the ground. expressly stated. that the old rate of pay was inadequate to meet the in- creased cost of living. On every hand reports are made of increased wages 10 men engaged in rsilroading and in Gustrlal employment.
 The United States government. as a matter of economy as well as justice. shculd proceed to raise the wages of iss employees in the executive depart m.a,s. It has been years since the Sa-1sy roll was adjusted. The salaries raid gre in ridiculous disparity to the quality and quantity of work per ic-mci. The only recognition be- s5Sxei by Sthe government upon it's .ai;h.rl employees during the past few years has been an increase in the hours of labor. This move, taken in haste and without the proper investi- ga.icn, was soon found to be uuwise. Il vas contrary to the spirit of the times, which demands decent treat ment of the worker.
