this is freely admitted by distinguished
members of the bench and bar, and
they find it impossible to suggest any
practicable remedy.
But. despite all this, God is good
He loves his human children and is
incapable of any wrong. This is the
general belief. although human rea-
son, viewing the world as it is, cannot

did not Justify the ways of God to
men, nor did Pope succeed in his eff

Reason must be supplemented by
faith if our belief that God is love is
TO be confirmed. But God has i'm
planted in the breast of almost every
human being belief that the soul is
to live on everlastingly, surviving the
wreck of its frail tenement and inher-

ing that as the special province of the
women folks. who know more about
making money out of hens, chickens

what has been sold from this source
has gone a long ways toward whiting
down the grocery and meat bill to a
very inconsiderate sum and furnished
the table with what was needed for
family consumption. This has been at
no great expense, says Mr.. Acuff. for
he always reserves a small plot of
ground on which he raises feed for the
fowls. and has had to purchase but lit

COMPARATIVE ESTIMATES
PROVE THE PROPOSITION
Mr.. Aeuff Quotes His Experience in
the Valley This Year on His Forty
Acres.

One thousand dollar land to many
people may sound very big, but the
results obtained by many hustling
farmers this year will certainly entitle
the land they own to such a designa-
ton however high and far-fetched it
may appear TO the uninitiat@d. on a
basis of comparison in fact. the land
is not high at such figure when in
tensively farmed and the products and
cash returns therefrom are sized up
alongside of some Of the figures which
eastern farmers consider going some
in their country. Now an eastern
farmer recently arrived here. who
owns land selling all the way from
800 to SIPS per acre. II is corn land,
and he is a good farmer. knows how to
cultivate it, and gets as big crops as
the average, he believes.
Some years he has done well and his
corn crop made him about $35 to $40
per acre, including the pasturage of
the stalks during the winter. This
was in good years, when corn was a
fair price when there was no drouth,
or no deluges which drowned out the
crop. IN wet years of course his re-
turns were not anything to brag about,
and as he generally had lots of stock.
he was up against it for feed, which
he had to go out and buy. That was
risky business, sometimes, but he
generally managed TO winter through
and make little money in the Spring.
Wintering stock through is some
thing about which the Arizona farm
er does not have to trouble himself.
Besides that, on land which sells for
the same money as the corn land on
which the figures are quoted, the re-
suits will almost treble the showing
made in the eastern state from which
the farmer mentioned came. 500 an
acre is an average sum which a large
number Of ranchers have received
