GROUP OF REFLECTIONS !
 FELL UPON DICK ALLEN
The Destruction f Grain Stack and
 Other Disasters.

Misfortunes seldom fall in more of a heap on any one man than they did on Dick Allen who lives near Alham- bra on Monday night. He and Mrs. Allen were called away from home by the illness and death of Mrs. Al Full wiler, a sister of Mrs. Allen, that night. Not long after their departure wheat stack took fire and not less than 1000 bushels of grain were destroyed. It Is said that there was little or no insur- ance on 1t.
 It was found also that the house of MT. Allen had been set on fire but the flames were extinguished before a great deal of damage was done. The origin of both fires is more or less of a mystery. The fire of the wheat stack naturally leads to a suspicion of in- cendiarism and in that case an incen- diary is responsible for the fire at the house for the latter could not well have been communicated from the former.
 Mir. Allen had made arrangements for the thresher to come to his place within a day or two.

due to pure triflingness of the herds men and the grazier. Indeed, the losses by neglect and exposure greatly ex- ceed the losses by disease.
 It would be impossible to estimate the waste of farm products after they mature in the field; but it is enormous, some of it due to scarcity of labor. but most of it traceable to thriftless hus- bandry, or in plain speech, downright laziness. One source of waste is inn perfect cultivation, for millions of farmers persist in half cultivation of large areas when they would make more by proper tillage of fewer acres. Then there is immense waste in the disregard of intelligent rotation of crops This is the worst sort of waste. for it means devastation of soils that require years of provident tillage to replace All over the east are aban- doned farms that would today be gar dens if they had been given intelligent cultivation. That farmer is not fit for his vocation who does not increase the fertility of his soil every year he culti- yates it.

A TENDERFooT's REVENGE.

The average tenderfoot is not cow ard. He simply lacks ranch experi- ence, writes Lute Wilcox in the Field and Farm. An illustration of this fact occurred down in New Mexico several years ago. One day a pale looking. thin and sickly young man alighted from the train and put up at the lit- tie adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The tenderfoot walked up to the bar and called for a bottle of soda pop. Faint allowed to drink that sort O stuff out here" said a toughy. MT. Barkeeper set out the pison for this young feller" You have the best of me-" replied the "and I'll have to drink the stuff, but I hope the time may come when I can make you drink my choice of liquid"
 The tenderfoot raised the glass and gulped down the whisky. Sandy had had his way about 1t and he made no effort to comprehend the vague re- mark of the stranger. The tenderfoot left for ranch down the Pecos the

next day after the incident in the sa-
 loon and he was forgotten until one afternoon more than a year afterward strong, healthy looking young man rode up to the hotel on a broncho, dropped the bridle reins upon the ground and dismounted. He had the appearance of a typical young man of the range. His face was bronzed and his eyes clear and penetrating. q owe a fellow a debt which I believe I will pay right now" the stranger said.
 No sooner had he made the remark than he walked off in the direction of Sandy, who had his gun in his right hand and was firing 1t into the air every few steps. The stranger ap- preached Sandy. pulled his gun and dragged the bully up to the saloon and led him in that fash ion up to the bar. Get me a pan of water and set it upon the floor" he said to the barkeeper.
 The order was complied with, Sandy standing there meekly, wondering what was going to happen to him. Now, get down on the floor and drink water out of that pan like dog" the former ordered. Sandy at first re- fused, but when the stranger began twirling his gun around on his fore finger and said the order must be obeyed. the cowardly fellow unlimbered and lay down upon the floor and be- gan drinking water out of the pan.

WORK Is RESUMED
 ON COMMODORE MINE
Engineer Geo. A. Laird of Bisbee
 Spent Yesterday in the Capitol City.

George A. Laird of the firm of Smith & Laird, mining engineers of Bisbee, and an intimate personal friend of George ". Cowgirl, spent yesterday in Phoenix. He is enroute home from Congress Junction and expects to be a Phoenix visitor about once a month from now on. Messrs. Smith & Laird have become interested in a profes- sional way in the operation of the Commodore mine, by the Southwest ern Development Co.,. of Philadelphia, which acquired it nearly year ago, and undertook it's equipment with ma chinery, but sometime ago closed down operations.
 Work will now be renewed, the mine being equipped with an air com pressor, two gasoline engines and pumps. 4 gallows frame is now be- ing erected and in a week or ten days sinking will be resumed. The shaft is S5 feet deep and it is proposed to sink it to the 300 level before doing any further development Only five or six men are now working, but as soon as sinking is begun three shifts a day will be employed. A NJ. Tong has succeeded F. M. Czarnowski as sup erintendent. The Commodore proper ty adjoins the Leviathan group and MT. Laird says is a very promising. one.

WASTE ON THE FARM,

From authoritative reports by gov ernment officials it appears that some 2.6S7,021 cattle die in the United States annually from disease and exposure most of them from neglect, says the
 Washington Post. From the same source 1t is also ascertained that the loss of sheep from the same causes is as great. These figures only serve to show what wasteful people we are. One of the excuses the beef trust makes for high prices of provisions is the enormous death rate of live stock on the range and on the farm, most of 1t

iowa WEATHER
CROP BULLE7 in
CONDITION OF SMALL. GRAINS
EXCEPT ON EXTREME LOW
LANDS. GOOD.

Des Moines, June 2.-For the week
ending June /, 1908:
From Monday morning to Friday
night, the temperature was consider
ably above normal, with frequent and
general showers. The rainfall was ex-
cessive; the total for the week at
many stations exceeded the monthly
normal. Continuous rains prevented
any field work being done until Sat
urday, and the loss to crops by wash
ing and floods will be considerable.
A great deal Of corn will have to
be replanted, and, as result, there
Is now nearly as large an acreage to
be planted as there was two weeks
ago. The early planted fields are
becoming very weedy, but the more
favorable conditions which prevailed
during the last two days afforded an
opportunity to do some cultivating on
high and well drained land.
All small grain, grass, clover and
potatoes have made rank growth, but
reports indicate that the condition Is
good except on low land where tn
grain is becoming yellow.

of the 21st Illinois Regiment, and
Grant had found career; the govern
ment of the United States had found
the right man for it, and Providence
had worked in mysterious way.
It is hard to understand just what
there is in this that is in bad taste
OF is harsh to the memory of Grant
1t is story that finds it's counterpart
in a smaller way in most every COM
munity Grant is not the only man
who rose to greatness from small
beginning, but his rise was the most
remarkable because he rose after re-
peated failures and triumphed over
personal habits that had a part in
these early defeats.
There is no bad taste in drawing at
tention to Grants early defeats and
early habits when they are but men
toned to show how much greater was
his victory.

deeply into the earth and act on the
of pillow.
If furrow of earth is to be moved
the douhletree should be attached
close to the ditch end of the drag and
the driver should stand with one foot
on the extreme forward end of the
front slab.
Conditions Varied.
Conditions are SO varied in different
localities, however, that it is quite i'm.
possible to lay down specific rules.
Certain sections of roadway will re-
quire more attention than others, be-
cause of steep grades, wet weather
springs, soil conditions, exposure to
the sun and wind, washes, etc. There
is one condition, however, in which
special attention should be given.
Clay roads under persistent draggings
frequently become too high in the
center. This may be corrected by
dragging the earth towards the cen
ter Of the road twice and away from
it once.
There is no question as to the
economy of this road making imple
ment, either in first cost or in opera
ton. In six counties in Kansas in 1906
the cost of maintaining ordinary
earth roads, without the aid of the
split-log drag, averaged $42.5O mile.
These figures were furnished by Pro.
fessor w. G. Hoad, of the University
of Kansas, who secured them from
official records of the counties.
Some figures furnished by E. P.
Sanborn and R. H. Ashton General
Manager of the Chicago and North
western railway, have revealed the
wonders of this simple device, Mr..
Sanborn said, "the least expense per
annum for split lob dragging was
$3.50, and the greatest little over So,
and the average expense per mile for
6ih miles little over So. have lived
along this road all my life and never
in 40 years have l seen it freer from
mud and dust. despite the fact that
during the season we have experience
ed the extremes of weather condi-
tions."
The testimony of Mr.. Ashton
is equally strong. Learning
that a township in iowa had been
making an investigation of the split
log drag, and had been experimenting
with it for a year on % miles of high
way, he sent an agent to secure in
formation. 1t was reported that al
though the town board had paid the
cost of making the drags and of hir-
ing men to operate them, the total
expense for one year averaged but
$3.50 mile, and the roads were re.
ported 10 have been like race
track" the greater portion of the
year.
