ARIZONA MICHIGAN.

A force of about twenty-five men

continuing the development of the
Arizona Michigan mine in the Copper
Hill district Of the Globe quadrangle
on the SCOTT. level of the Telfair shaft
the crosscuts north and south are be-
ing extended through extremely hard
ground, for the most part diorite. The
north crosscut is now 227 feet long
and the length of the south crosscut
is 23O feet. Eventually, both these
crosscuts should cut veins carrying
good values in copper, as the surface
indications are very encouraging. Con-
siderable iron pyritc at present pre-
walls i'm the ground through which the
crosscuts from the Tclfair shaft are
running
In addition to the work being done
on the main shaft, the Arizona Michi-

also being sunk on the old Dominion
fault which cuts the property and ex-

Belmonts to Dazzle National Capital

Roosevelt to regulate everything took
a remarkable turn in the case of the
Belmonts, and Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t is said
asked his cabinet officers and others
high in the official scale to stay away
from the Belmonts' functions.
The first entertainment was fail
ure because of this taboo. The men
came in large numbers and theiy
wives with few exceptions absente6
themselves. But the Belmonts had
already made plans for their new
home
Mrs. Belmont was not daunted. Be.
fore long she was entertaining Col.
Bromwell, the official major domo OF
the White House under the Roosevelt
regime, and his wife at theater par.
ties, and her field of social conquest
was gradually extended until now she
is perfectly at home as an entertainer.
Next winter on her return from
abroad she will throw open her new
palace for entertainments that are
likely to make her critics sitsup.

New Successful White House Hostess

became i'll she abandoned her own
social programme in Cincinnati and
remained in Washington. This made
it possible for Mrs. Taft to carry out
the remainder of the entertainments
which had already been scheduled,
and Mrs. More took her place as
hostess at several official dinner par
ties which Mrs. Taft had planned
earlier in the season. Mrs. More won
admiration by the grace with which
she fitted into the position of White
House hostess.
Mrs. Taft's first social season as
mistress of the White House was a
brilliant success In spite of the ner-
vous trouble which necessitated her
withdrawal. Never In the history Of
generations has there been SO much
social activity at the White House, and
never has society been more diplo-
matically and pleasantly brought to-
gether. Persons who had not been in
the White House for many months,
and some for several years, were
again welcomed and hobnobbed with
each other to an extent hard to be.

SNAPSHOTS AT FARM WORK.

method:
The cultivation of camphor trees az
substitute for oranges is being con.

Is there any wild grass that you can
cut down and bring In for the cattle
to stamp down in the yard for manure?
There may be a low swale where you
can get some of this. 1t will all help
to keep up the farm.
Get some old rails and sharpen
them then drive them into the ditch,
level with the ground, so that when
the rains come the rails will gather
the stalks and grass, and in years
time the ground will be nearly level.
Such dams should be four to seven
rods apart.

away to the country to spend his de-

a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-old

GROW ROOT CROPS PROPERLY
Best hiethod ofWeeding and Thinning
Out Onions, Carrots, Beets, Z
Parsnlps and Satisfy.

Onions, carrots, parnips, beets and
satisfy must be kept free from weeds
and grass from the time the plants
push above the ground until the leaves
are large enough to shade the soil,
says the Baltimore American. The
hand cultivator and weeder is the best
implement for the work. Straddle the
rows and cut away the young weeds
as soon as the rows can be distinctly
seen; follow with the cultivator in a
few days, stirring the soil about one
inch in depth. This frequent working
will keep the ground mellow and at
the same time kill the young weeds.
The plants should be thinned as soon
as they have made the fourth leaf.
This may be done either by hand or
hoe. Truckers use the steel hoe The
two-inch steel hoe is mostly used by
the gardeners, and the four-inch hoe,
by the truckers. Whatever method is
followed, they should be thinned the
proper distances, so they can make
good sized roots. Onions, from seed,
require careful wedding when plants
are small, in the trucking districts
the wedding and thinning of the root
crops is mostly done by contract for
SO much per row. The early crops OF
beets should be thinned out to stand
four inches apart in the row; the
plants pulled out are set out In ad-
joining rows, first cutting off the tip
of the root and cutting the leaves
within half an inch of the crown. Beet
plants have great vitality and will
take root and start into growth few
days after planting. Those transplant
ed plants will make large bulbs, but
not as large as those grown direct
from seed.
Parsnips, carrots and satisfy cannot
be transplanted; these should be
thinned out early SO as to give the
roots plenty of time to grow. The
French and oxheat carrots will not
need thinning, as they are pulled as
soon as half grown.

deaux mixture before blooming but
most of the orchard received no treat
ment, except the spring application of
lime-sulphur until after the petals fell.
As soon as possible after the blossoms
fell the entire orchard was given a
heavy spraying with arsenate of lead
alone, or with arsenate of lead com
bined with Bordeaux mixture The
Baldwins were several days advanced
before spraying commenced but the
Ben Davis were exactly right.
The spraying outfit consisted of a
IL horsepower gasoline engine, 150
gallon tank and tower, mounted on
trucks, and was easily drawn by one
strong horse. The bamboo poles were
ten feet long, and one handled by the
man on the tower being further length

into the calyx cups.
The best record obtained was from
Ben Davis tree sprayed with Bor-
deaux before bloom, and once heavily
with arsenate of lead soon after the
bloom fell.
The Ben Davis tree were estimated
to be less than two per cent. wormy,
including the drops, and the picked
harvest was only fraction of one per
cent. wormy. The Baldwins averaged
one or two per cent. more wormy
than the Ben Davis, owing to the fact
that they were further advanced when
sprayed. The third orchard of trees,
20 years old, which was sprayed
about two weeks after the bloom fell,
ran from three or four per cent.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of the great discoveries
or inventions is always Of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate OF Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result Of eating Grape-Nuts
daily Is easily seen in marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system, making 1t q
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense 9
stimulant but Is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
OF brain and nerves.
It's favour Is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken OF, G. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package Of Grape-Nuts.
