FARM NOTES.

AS soon as celery plants can be
handled from the seed bed, they
should be transplanted two or three
inches apart in a new bed, and have
the tap roofs nipped. You will thus
get far stronger plants and easier to
make live in the final transplanting
Cultivation of the soil is not merely
done to kill weeds, but il is a mois-
ture conservator; it makes the soil
more porous, so that the plant roots
more easily penetrate in search of
plant food. In time of protracted
drought the cultivator should be
kept going whether there are weeds
or not.
To keep moss from growing in
stock water tanks, cover the tanks or
shade them and the moss VIII not
grow without sunshine.

women. There are not enough Of the

of this great country will awake to
their responsibilities in this one
thing: il they will themselves refuse
to attend; il they will use their un-
limited influence to persuade their
women and men friends not to attend
any show OF the kind. they will drive
from the stage every indelicate. in.

that act they will be casting votes
effectively for a great moral end, and
will build platform on which they

Meyer and George Bishop of the Arizona Bouse company had half interest in the claims but have contracted to sell their interest in the Consolidated taking their pay for them all in stock of the Consolidated company.
 MT, Brown says the claims are in the near vicinity and in the same general ore trend as the Little Butte and he believes they have every indication of making a big mine. He says he has asSayed ore from the Little Butte for the past two months and knows what it is and if the new property opens up anything near as good he will consider his fortune made. The company has acquired claims all over that district and is as fast as possible closing up with the original owners for title to the various properties, believing that out of all they have they will be able to develop one and perhaps a half dozen good mines.
