Arizona Vital Record.

Dr. E. s. Godfrey, territorial health officer, has furnished the Ari- zona papers with data concerning the births and deaths during the year 1910. It is worthy of careful reading and should b3 studied with more than idle curiosity for the figures do not reflect a great deal of credit on Ari- zona, says the Republican. They show that while there were 3463 births in the territory during the year, there were also 3261 deaths. When it is considered that this is one of the most healthy parts of the world, and that the percentage of young and middle aged people is greater than almost anywhere else, the results are quite startling. But there's reason. Following are the figures.

FARM EQUIPMENT, FROM A
WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT.

It seems but yesterday, when
| think back and recall my first
pracucal experience of farm life.
Or roulsc. | grew up on the farm.
bat it was as the lilies grow, -"
tolled not, neither did | spin. y
But when | married a young far
mer and went to housekeeping in
a tWo-room shanty, on q one
horse farm ! then commenced to
sens the Scamy side Of ii all. Our
house was on top Of a high hill
all the water was to be carried
from the spring up that hill. We
had a stove just big enough for
two. and hardly that, no convcn-
fences for bath whatever. We
had chills and fever off and on
during the whole seven years we
lived at that place; and | am sure
it was on account Of the surface
drainage going into the spring.
We spent enough for doctors and
medicine to have dug a well and
run the water indoors. We had
no more chills after leaving
there. but We're some time regain
ING our impaired vitality. Then
| had no sewing machine; so il
was necessary to spend days at
time at my mother sewing, or
else hire my sewing. We spent
enough in that way to have
bought machine twice over.
Finally, in 1901, my husband
bought a machine for $19. | am
using it still and it is as good as
ever.
This is a fair specimen of the
economy of young farm
folks. The little old stove by this
time was used up to a finish. My
husband bought me a $75 Majes-
tic range. with a 15-gallon rsser-
voir, for heating water. 1t was
grand. | sould sit six half-gal-
lon jars of fruit on a wire bottom
in the reservoir and boil them.
The fruit canned in this manner
was perfect, retaining its shape
and natural juices.
We never did have any conven-
fence for washing and ironing
always hired it out. But a neigh
Dor had a washing machine and
wringer that were perfection. She
did her own wash, and that in an
hour or two. She also had low
buggy and gentle horse for her
own use. | had to walk or await
my husband convenience to gol
abroad. A man knows what he
needs for his work, and gets it. A
woman knows too, but as rule !
does without it. | knew wo
man who spent the whole after
noon driving 10-penny nail
through a tin lid. She was max

band could have bought one for
