The shipping clerk had made an error that will cost his employer a pretty penny for freight.
 NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR Though not designed for that pur- pose, the city ordinance forbidding the dumping of refuse on vacant lots does more to create illfeehng among neigh bors than any other influence which may be at work to cause unfriendly relations in a neighborhood. H. seems that everywhere there is a tendency for people to dispose of their refuse in the easiest way, even though their meth ods may result in serious trouble for their neighbors yesterday several people were brought before the chief of police, who desired to inquire why they refused to remove the refuse which they had placed on the vacant lots adjoining their property. Each and every one told the story that their heighbors had brought the refuse in wheel barrows and other ,conveyances from a considerable distance, and then when asked to tell who the neighbors were who had been engaged in such practices they refused, saying that by making such complaint they would incur the lifelong enmity of those who were taking advantage Of the conven tent but forbidden dumping grounds. In the face of such a situation the police are at loss to know how to proceed nnless they compel the per sons nearest the lots in question to re- move the refuse and then to cause their neighbors to refrain from the practice of dumping the waste at their doors.
 A THREAT-The Republican has received the following threatening let ter on a post card, signed by fourteen Phoenix gentlemen. The letter is dated Avalon Cal, July 20, and reads as follows: we are going to break the fishing records here" That is all there is of it and it is right to the point. It is signed by Guy Alsap, Clarence Heflin, John Creech, Roy Mccarthy, Pud Bennett, w. E. Simpson, Arthur Luhrs, Geo. Kane, Tad Herzig. Harry Jones, Harry Cox. H. l. Klawans, Will Fickas, Sid Stewart.

TUE INoNIRy LOCATED A DEAD

MAN-The police the other day re- ceived a letter from William McPher- son. living at some point in the east making inquiry for q brother, Duncan McPherson, of whom he had not heard for six years. When he last heard from him he was in a Michigan town and was talking of going west. The inquiry came to the right place, but too late. Duncan McPherson had died three days before He had for some time been bartender at the owl sa- loon He was about 35 years of age and a man of robust appearance. lie was suddely stricken with an ailment of the stomach and his illness increased so violently that it was feared he would not reach the hospital. He died soon after being taken there.

 A FOUL DITCH-A great deal Of complaint is made by residents in the neighborhood of the condition of the ditch on the south side of the court borse plaza. The real condition of it was not noticed until after the late rain when the stench oppressed the whole neighborhood. Laborers who began cleaning it yesterday were all most overcome by the odor An agi- tation is being started to prevent the hitching of horses along that side or the plaza. On the west and east sides there are good gutters and sut- ficient fall to allow a flushing. but the south side is dead and sicken- ing level.
 CHAIN GANG OUT - Marshal Noore's municipal hotel became so crowded yesterday that in order to relieve the congestion below stars, JaiIer Perrin took q number of tNe birds out to exercise. They were giv- en occupation on South Center street where the weeds along the dltches have grown to considerable height Their employment not only helps the street department in improving the appearance of the city, but saves the city thirty cents a day on the amount paid for the meals of the prisoners. Beside this the prisoners can secure three meals a day, which number would if they were loafing, be re- duced to two.
 DOSES OF JUSTICE-Four unfor- tunates were given opportunities to expiate their crimes by swallowing the following doses poured out from the spoon of the police judge. Chas. Willis. drunk and disorderly, seven days; w. s. McNally. drunk, five days: B. Fairies, drunk and charged with manifesting a disposition to fight, seven days; Joe Johnson, the fighting Swede, who was only brought in after Officer Fraley had sought the aid of supernatural powers, was giv- en five days for being drunk and belligerent. The warlike members of the quartet will be given an oppor- tunity to vent their feelings on the Center street weeds today.

MT. Hall called yes terday to correct the report. In that instance reference should have been made only to the pear orchard, and its last irrigation was in January instead of March. Other parts of the nursery have been irrigataed since then when necessary.

How to Sell the CuIIS.

The best disposition any fan
cier can make of his Gull birds is
to dress them and sell them in
the market. 1t is dangerous to
the reputation of the breeder of
fine poultry to sell them alive at
any price. We once knew
fancier to sell his Gull birds alive
to a grocer. The next thing he
knew a huckster poultry dealer
was offering birds of his strain
for sale and a little inquiry
showed tn al the enterprising
grocer had sold the Gull birds to
the huckster at about twice the
market price.
On one occasion we sold thirty
five culls to man who "just
wanted plain layers, didn't care
for points or Scores" These
birds were sold for just what
they were for a little more than
the market price. 1t was not
long before a letter from the
buyer CT these birds appeared in
a farm paper denouncing our
stock in unmeasured terms as
being unfit to breed. Since that
time we have never sold a Gull
bird alive. Kill the culls for if
you sell them alive some one will
see them and Judge your whole
flock by them. Poultry.

Two Eggs a Day From a Hen.

Maine Experiment Station says
two eggs day from a hen is an
actual possibility. The latter
part of February, 1906, pullet
that had recently begun laying
apparently laid two eggs a day.
Although it seemed a clear case,
it was not recorded, as it was
thought possible that a mistake
had been make in reading the
number on the leg band used to
distinguish the fowls. Trap nests
were used.
When the same hen again laid
two eggs, on March Il, record
was made, and to guard against
possible error in reading the
number on the band, she was
bandrd on both legs, thus dis.
tinctly marking her, as no other
hen in the house had two bands.
During March and April there

1t should be added that the rec
ords of days on which she was
known to lay two eggs came dur
ing the months of her greatest
reproducing activity. For the
five days beginning with April z
eight eggs were laid.

Guineas lay a large number of

Guineas lay a large number of
eggs in the course of a summer.
They lay rather steadily for near
ly eight months, with only a day
or two off at long intervals. It
may be said that the eggs are
not of as great food value as
chicken eggs, because guinea
eggs are smaller; but guineas
will gather more of their food if
there is a range they can run on,
so the guineas will yield a good
profit for the reason that their
eggs or their meat costs SO little,
either in work or in salable feed.

A good many dairy farmers are
paying a great deal of attention
to winter dairying. They find
that they get better prices for
milk and for butter during the
winter than during the summer
months. They haver more time
in winter to devote strictly to
dairy work. The calves may be
brought along to the best advan-
tage during the winter months,
and they are ready to make good
use of the young grass when it
comes on in the spring. Such
dairymen allow the herd and
calves to take care of themselves
to certain extent during spring
seeding and summer harvest,
when their attention is fully oc-
cupied with growing crops.

that will leave little for criticism

but nevertheless, 1t appears that
rural life like city life falls far

main point was the lack Of good
roads, the next the lack Of good.
