Washington rated agriculture as one
of the noblCSt and most useful of pur
suits in a day when the methods fol
lowed were crude and the results at
tanned mcager Today it occupies a
still more exalted position and in a
very true sense furnishes the means
whereby we are able to Subsist as Il
nation. The time is fast approaching.
if not already here. when an incrcas-
ing number of the brightest boys and
girls of the land will look to agricul-
turc and horticulture in their general
and special fields as callings which
they may enter with ample equipment
of intelligence and energy. knowing
that in return for the same effort nee
essary for success in professional, bust
ness or clerical pursuits they will reap
Il generous and substantial reward.
The conditions to be found in rural
life may and ought to he hcalthful,
wholesome and uplifting nay. even
inSpiring-if the right spirit is brought
to It's activities. Notwithstanding the
progress made in the past fifteen years,
there is as yet but meagcr showing
of the possibilities Of the highest and
best type Of agriculture. 1t is the one
great field of effort. tremendously wide
and roomy. which has not yet been cx-
plotted and exhausted. The door Of OPP
portunity swings wide for those who
would enter 1t, promising type of life
though fraught with hard toll and
some discouragements, at once the
most health giving and independent of
those pursuits which young men and
women are entering today.

The designations nigh" and off
used in referring to the left and right
hand animals of team came into use
because Of the fact that the driver of
the pioneer OK team used to stand
when driving to the left of the left
hand animal so he could WELD a whip
in his right hand, which was nearest
the team The customary position of
the driver Of team of horses is on
the right instead of the left side of the
seat, with the result that the nigh
horse is the one farthest from him and
the off horse the one nearest

\ flock of hens is doubtless better
off from the standpoint of health if
they sleep ont of doors in pleasant
weather in the same way that folks
are if they sleep in the open air or in
tents instead of in stutry bedrooms
The hens may dislike being elected
from the henhousc for the first few
nights but they will soon become ac-
customed to the outdoor perch.

Business Methods
of Wells Fargo Co.

Because she lived half a block
outside the regular delivery limits
of the company, the legal agents of
the Well-Fargo company recently
permitted consignment of cut
flowers, belonging Mrs. Anna Deck
er OF 936 East Washington street,
to set in a warm storeroom and
wither away.
Mrs. Decker came to Phoenix
from Chicago, where she is interest
ed in a large florist shop. A few
days ago her friends in the shop
shipped her number of rare and
beautiful cut flowers, carefully
Grated. The consignment was val
ued at $40, though Mrs. Decker
would not have missed receiving
them in condition for much more
than that. @.
When the flowers arrived at the
local Wells-Fargo office they must
have been in good condition. But
the address on the crate was half a
block beyond Ninth street, which
marks the delivery limits on the
east.
Though plainly marked perish
able, the flowers were treated in
the same manner as any other piece
of freight. A card was sent to
Mrs. Decker through the mail and
when she hurried around for her
flowers they had wilted until they
were not even pretty to look upon.
Shekwas indignant but that did her
no good. The clerks carefully ex-
planned to her that she lived few
steps outside the delivery limits and
for wagon to be sent even one
step beyond those limits would be
to violate one of the sacred rules of
the greatest express company on
arth.-Arizona Gazette.

of two distinct varieties, viz: Sugar

which an appeal was made to the
assembled guests for their verdict
as to which kind was the best.
