CULTTYATING CELERY.

Cultivation at all times should be
very light as the celery plant roots
very near the surface, and where the
ground is mulched no hand cultiva-
ton will be necessary. Shallow Gull
tivation should be maintained be-
tween the rows, care being taken that
the teeth of the machine do not come
in contact with the plant.
Where no mulch is used it will be
necessary when the plants are small
to give them careful hand hoeing;
as they grow large enough to shade
the ground the weeds will cease to
grow and shallow cultivation of
about two inches between the rows
will meet all requirements. This
should be continued about once a
week or after each shower or water
ing from the time they are set out
till time for Observation-Disclosures

clever Women Then and Now.

believe me-" said the Woman Who
Thinks, I'm a little weary of rhapso-
dies over the supposedly superior in
telligence of the women of bygone
days. Why don't those so generous
of praise give modern women a
chance? 1t is sort OF mental fash
ion to assume that George Eliot and
George Sand and Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu and Lady Blessington and
others like them were peculiar to
themselves and their periods; that no
woman of today can hold candle
to them in any particular. ] wonder
il that's true. Seems to me there
are dozens of women in New York
alone who are every bit as clever
as those heroines of the past. Lady
Montague wrote delightful letters,
but the art of correspondence has
not passed from earth, and surely
the cultured woman OF today can be
as sprightly. AS for novelists and
essayists, they flourish in abundance
in this enlightened age. And when

ADVANTAGES OF Low TREES.

A large New York apple grower
advises low headed trees as being
less afflicted by disease of the trunk
than are those not protected by the
branches. They are less affected by
winds, the fruit can be more cheaply
gathered, and most important of all,
at maturity can be thoroughly
sprayed. 1t is practical to cultivate
such trees as closely and as deeply
as need. be. He recommends cult
waiting the young growing orchard,
growing hoed crops between the clo-
yer. He fertilizes heavily with stable
manure and does not believe, in most
cases, commercial manuring will pay
large profit when applied to apple
trees. Weekly Witness.

NOT A MIRACLE
just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would rot believe
that a man could suffer from coffee
drinking so severely as to cause spells
of Inconsistencies. And to find COM
plete relief in changing from coffee
to Postum is we'll worth recording.
II used to be a great coffee drink
er, so much so that 1t was killing me
by inches. My heart became so weak
l would fall and lie unconscious for
an hour at time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop
coffee and try Postum. After much
hesitation concluded to try it. That
was eight months ago. Since then l
have had but few of those spells,
none for more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as / am seventy years of age all
my friends think the improvement
quite remarkable"

DESIRED QUALITIES FIXED.

In selecting breeding stock, our
first consideration should be (1) in
dividual merit, (2l pedigree. Pedi-
gree is almost as important as indi-
vidual merit; in fact, the two go
hand in hand, for we cannot rely on
individual merit being transmitted
unless it is inherited. Individual
characteristics are certainly trans
mitted wonderfully sometimes, but
the breeder cannot rely on their be-
ing reproduced unless the animal
possessing them has them by i7rheri-
.tance. A horse having speed is more
liable to transmit speed, even though
not inherited, than one not possess
ing speed. The fact that individual
qualities, not inherited, are some.
times transmitted helps us to i'm
prove the breeds by line breeding
by taking individuals possessing the
same good qualities and mating them
together-and by doing this we may
q say may, as it is by no means GER
tain) propagate these good qualities,
and there is a chance that these good
qualities may be more pronounced
than they are in the parents, and
finally, after a few generations, have
them become fixed qualities. 1t is
mainly in this way that famous
breeders have established certain
breeds-line breeding them until the
desired qualities can never be de-
pended on, yet it is always possible.
Sports occur, but SO rarely that the
breeder should not calculate on
them. Progressive Farmer.

FEED FOR DUCKS.

Never change the rations for ducks
unless done very gradually. They
should always have access to drink
ing water and green food of some
kind. 1t is not good to let the ducks
drink milk, nor is it economy to feed
milk to anything but very young
ducklings in their feed. for bran or
beef scrap will give them cheaper
protein. Do not try to do without
meat in some form Beef scrap is
procurable when green bone is not.
Your ducks will not make rapid gains
or be in good health-if they live at
all-if deprived of some form of an
imal food. Farmers Home Journal.

Cane molasses is a much more val
liable feed product than the residue
from beet sugar factories. In Louis
lana the planters who formerly threw
away the "black strap now reserve
enough to feed their mules and other
animals from one sugar season to an
other. Large quantities IF it are now
purchased by the manufacturers of
saccharine feeds, and the time will
soon be here when the former waste
will all be utilized and transformed
into milk by the dairyman, meat by

England's Biggest Goose Farm.

To provide the Christmas goose for
5000 homes-or, at the modest esti-
mate, 10000 peoples no light un-
dertaking. Twenty odd years ago
thrifty youth saved his pocket money
during the earlier months of the year,
and later purchased very young COS
lings with his little hoard. These
he reared and fattened for Christmas
on his parents farm in Lancashire.
Young John Harrison saw there was
money in the little business he had
taken UP as hobby. The thing grew
year by year as he grew, until to-
day he is we'll known as the Lanca-
shire Goose King, and his business
has assumed the aforementioned pro-
portions.
A peep at his huge flocks of geese
wandering over fields, acres and
acres in extent, at Halsall, a pictur-
esque hamlet near the old market
town of Ormskirk, would indeed be
revelation and surprise to many.
Twenty sacks of corn, besides large
quantity Of meal and potatoes, have
to be dealt out per day to this stock
of geese, the corn being usually
scooped out of carts into trenches
made along the fields. AS Christ
mas approaches the birds are even
more literally supplied with delica-
cies, until they evince no disposition
to fly - and, indeed, very little to
wander about at all. Expert killers
and FUCKERS get to work some time
before Christmas, and half dozen
of these men can prepare 500 to 400
day. They make more than SOW
ereign a day at the work. The feath-
ers sometimes bring as much as two
shillings pound. Tit

banished. for a time, all thoughts cf
embroidered linens, and when they
reached the big store they went at
once to the furniture department on
the third floor. They were shown
dozens Of pretty desks, but Uncle
Billy's choice fell on a dainty inlaid
affair, and before Eloise realized it
the purchase was made.
Then Uncle Billy suggested lunch
con in the restaurant on the seventh
floor, so once more they turned their
steps to the elevators. But only one
of them was running, and the boy in,
charge seemed to think that he must
carry only those who got on down
stairs. He paid no attention to their
signal, and seemed quite determined
that they should go no higher than
the third floor. After the elevator
had gone up half dozen times Uncle
Billy, am sorry to say, quite lost his
temper.
Il wonder how much person is
expected to pay in this old town, !"
said he, lin order to entitle him to a
ride in stuffy elevator"
Perhaps" ventured Eloise, timid-
iy, "the boy thinks you hadn't bought
anything, you made the selection SO
quickly"
well, he ought to be reported, and
I'll see that he is reported" said
Uncle Billy, impatiently.
Twice more the elevator went up
and up and twice more the signal was
disregarded. Uncle Billy was on the
point of striding off to find some one
in authority, when Eloise said:
please, Uncle Billy, may / try
what l can do?"
And Uncle Billy, forgetting his an
ger, smiled down at the troubled little
face beside him.
"Why, yes; certainly, dear, do any,
thing you please to bring that rascal
ly boy to his senses"
II will try"
About one minute later the ele-
vator was going down, empty.
Down, please" said Eloise.
Reluctantly, as If well aware OF the
discourtesy he had shown, the boy
stopped the elevator, opened the lat
tice door, and the two stepped in.
Sooner than 1t takes to tell 1t the
ground floor was reached, and the
door was flung open angrily, for the
elevator boy was eager to be rid of
passengers who might justly enter a
complaint against him.
"Now We'll go up, please, to the
restaurant said Eloise.
The next moment she felt Uncle
Billy place protecting arm around
her shoulders as the waiting people
surged in and crowded them to the
back of the car. She happened to
glance up at him, but he was holding
his hat in front of his face. All she
could make out were little wrinkles
around his eyes. She was almost sure
he was laughing. She could only
catch glimpse of the elevator boy,
and he wore a very puzzled look.
When they reached the big, airy res
taurant, with its flowers and palms
and music, then and there Uncle Billy
had his laugh out, and Eloise joined
In, while the waiter stood by, in dig
nified disapproval of all their merri-
ment.
$50, little girl, mathematics are
your weak point! Nevertheless, I'll
trust your calculation every time.
Did you catch the expression on the
face of that elevator boy when you
said, Now, we'll go up?' The best
ever! Eloise, who said anything
about pink calico or chintz or what
ever it was? It's going to be silk,
Eloise, just the prettiest pink silk
dress we can find!"
And it was. i

Bisbee daily review., 1908-04-12

An Associated Press dispatch un. der date of Washington. April 5, tells this story of the Johnson and Gray booms. Supporters of George Gray of Delaware as the democratic nomi- nee for. president have completed ar. rangements for establishing headquar- ters in Washington and they will ac. lively enter upon a campaig in be half of the Delaware statesman. Rich. ard J. Beemish of Philadelphia, who will be in charge of the bureau, states that the movement is being made without the aid or encouragement of Judge Gray, who. it is known, has not said a word nor done anything that can be construed as seeking the nom- ination. The fund that is to finance the Washington headquarters has been subscribed. it is said. by few people of Delaware and Pennsylvania. The work to be done will be supple mented by that of a similar bureau In Judge Grsy's home town, Whining ton. A league of Gray clubs is also in process of formation The work of this organization, according to MT. Beemish, vii be done largely in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, the New England states and the south. The presidential boom of John A. Johnson was today launched upon the capital and congress with true west ern originality. when to every Wash ihgtou correspondent and democratic congressman was handed a special delivery letter mailed directly from the newly established headquarters of the Minnesota governor in Chica- go. The letter was signed by Freder- ick B. Lynch, treasurer of the Mime sota democratic committee, and trans mitted printed pamphlet setting out concisely the points of availability of Governor Johnson as the democratic presidential candidate and giving a terse review of his public services

THE MAYoRALTY CHAMPAIGN,

During the past week there has been considerable talk about who would be the most available candi- date for mayor on the Democratic ticket in Bisbee. This talk has re- suited in disclosing a very strong sentiment favorable to the nomina- ton of George Neale, the prominent attorney. There are many Democrats in Bfsbee who would be a credit to the city if elected mayor, but we know of none possessing higher qualifications for the position and honor than Mir. Neale. He has lived in Bisbee for many years and is thoroughly conversant with the con ditions existing here; he is a lawyer of acknowledged ability, and as such would be able to render superior ser vice to the city government. of which he would be the head as mayor; he is a man of courage, of pronounced convictions and possessing the requisite mental energy and stability to maintain them. He is an unswerv- ing Democrat who believes that all government should rest on the prin- ciple of equal rights to all and spec ial privileges to none. but he is not a partisan who would know any fa- vorites or foes in the discharge of public duty.
 Neale has no enemies to pursue and no friends to boom. He holds a brief for no one else. A square deal for everyone in private and public life is George Neale's creed He would be absolutely fair in his treatment of all men and all measures, that in the progress. Of events would come up for his consideration.
 He would be an ideal executive to represent the most progressive in- dustrial city in Arizona as member of the great party to which he ex presses fealty, and consisten with his duties as mayor he would promote the interests of that party in the flu ture as he has in the past.
Bisbee daily review., 1908-04-12

the one called to order by James Wood, the man who signed the call for the primaries. passed resolution thanking Senator Foraker. of Ohio, for what he had done for Arizona in the fight against joint-statehood. A resolution was also passed instructing the delegates to Tucson to vote for Col. L. ". Powell as the choice of the Republicans of Cochise county for delegate to the national Republican convention to Chicago.
 There is little doubt that the con vention presided over by James cowan will be recognized fin the Tue son convention, as 1t was regularly held in accordance with the call made by four members of the county cen tral committee. after the whole com mittee had refused to make call. The convention was called to order by one of the members of the central oommittee, who was responsible for the holding of the convention and the primaries proceeding it. If the Over lock crowd had majority of the convention, as they claimed, they could easily have controlled the pro ceedings after the convention was called to order by MT. Woods, who had the undoubted right to do so. The fact that they chose to do other wise was an evidence that they were unwilling to measure strength with their opponents in convention.
 It looks very much like Arizona would have two delegations at the national Republican convention at Chicago, one of the Kibbey brand and the other opposed.
