The present year goes on record as one in which white clover has grown luxuriantly and abundantly. Whether this fact is due entirely to favorable winter conditions or to these coupled with abundant moisture cannot be stated.

Careful investigations by the depart ment of agriculture in southern cotton growing states show a considerable and very satisfactory decrease in the numbers of the cotton boil weevil. which is by all odds the worst pest that the growers Of this great staple have to contend with. While the de- crease in number of, the insects may be due in part to causes not known. n considerable portion of the change is thought to be due to the unfavorablo weather last fall. especially to the first early killing frost.

In covering the rosebushes this ia! the object that should be kept in IuiaG Is that of preventing thawing and freezing of them during the midwln ter and early spring days. While roses may go through the winter nicely with a dirt covering, we have known them to kill badly Coarse litter or corn stalks in which mice are not likely to nest make an excellent covering, or the same results can be secured by laying the bushes down and covering with bare boards or an old door, which prevents rapid thawing and freezing which, more Sften than the intense cold of midwinterr are what kills tha bushes.

More than the producer of any other crop the fruit grower is at the mercy of the hailstorms which so often ac- company the heavy thunder showers during the latter part of August and early September. A fall of hail that would do only slight damage 10 a corn or other grain crop would bruise an apple crop enough to render it un- salable, which would mean in most cases a total loss. Moreover, frost al blossoming time will, knock the or chardist out for the whole season. while it usually does but little damage to the grower of grain crops.

' and dust has been brought from the Barbarosa placer claims, four miles from Troy camp, Pinal county. The largest piece of gold weighs twenty-three ounces and is call ,d worth $350. This nugget ana number of others were found in singl, pocket. The Barbarosa com. pany owns four claims. within which the placer ground is said to run from 30 cents to $4 in gold to the cubic yard. Much of the coarse gold is rough. indicating that it has travelled very little since sepa- ration from the mother lode. For this lode there is being made the closest of searches. Somewhere in the vicinity is the Lost Soldier" ledge, found about thirty years ago by cavalrynan. who brought into Fort Grant some specimens of quartz that sparkled with gold. It is believed that this very ledge sup piled the placer gold that now is being dug out of the Barbarosa gulch.

With the gold and silver certificates and national bank notes that are ost burned up devoured by rats, goats and dogs and sunk in seas rivers and ponds in the pockets of their unfortunate possessors, it is likely that several millions of dollars of government liabilities disappear every year. This small estimate when the newspapers of one day tell of from SIooo to S5ooo in greenbacks which go up in smoke via the old stovc the discarded vests and the soap box bank. The money to redeem all this is kept on hand by the government and it is altogether likely that the government is about SIoo ooo 1000 ahead of the game at pres ent.
