THE STATE FAIR
 A GRAND SUCCESS

The state fair, which closed last Saturday evening in Phoenix, is pronounced by all who attended to have been the greatest event of the kind ever witnessed in Arizona. The attendance during the week was away beyond any previous year and on Thursday and Satur- day the crowds were the greatsst ever brought together in Arizona. The attractions in each department were better than ever and the races of all kinds were of the very best.
 The attendance from the north ern tier of counties was exception ally large this year, but from par ties returning home The News was informed that scarcely any of the many products of Coconino county were on exhibition.
 Some day-it may be years hence county will wake up and make an exhibit at the fair, and when we do, it will be an eye opener to the many who believe the north ern section of Arizona is only fit for grazing purposes.
 There were no better crops of grain or potatoes raised in any sec tion of Arizona than were raised in Coconino county this year.

Verify Music Hath Charms.

The saying. Music hath charms is
an old one, but it's truth is shown in
the case of a Bath young man who,
the Times states. recently went to call
on friend, and took along his graph
ophone and a large number of records
on his way home, by the time he
reached Washington street, his load
became heavy and he seat down on
some steps to await the arrival of the
last car for the north end, but in the
tranquility of mind which had no
doubt resulted from the music of the
phone, as well as that of her" voice,
he fell asleep. The noise of the pass
ing car did not jar him, and when ne
at length awakened the car had been
gone more than half an hour.

Temporary Cold STORAGE.

The farmer, who will have apples or
other fruit, or vegetables, to be held
for better markets this fall, will do
we'll to provide a cold storage room
for these at home. A reasonably good
temporary farm cold-storage room
can be made in section of tho barn,
or some other smaller building may
be used for the purpose.
The essentials of a cold-storage
room are double, tight walls, one door
and two or more tight-fitting. small
windows. The room should be ceiled.
or where the room is in the barn with
hayloft above, and filled with hay. no
ceiling beyond the foo. of the NOW
will be necessary. This room on the
farm when not used for storing fruits
or vegetables, may be used as a store
room for grain or other things 1t
can be used economically all through
the year.
The principle upon which the tenn
porary cold-storage room works is in
the shutting out of heat and the keep
ing in of cold air. In the autumn
when the nights begin to grow long
err and cooler, the doors and windows
of the cold-storage room are thrown
wide omen This will allow the air
inside to become chilled over night
AL morning before the day begins to
grow warm the doors aud windows of
the room are tightly closed to retain
the cold air. When the room is being
filled with fruit the doors and win
dows are left open at night, which
will cause the air to become chilled
and the fruit to be gradually cooled
to lower temperature. On frosty
nights when it might freeze lightly
outside. the fruit will not freeze in the
least, but be reduced to a lower tenn
perature. The closing of the doors
ard windows during the day will not
only retain the cold collected during
the night, but will maintain more
even temperature with the fruit mass.
When hard freezing weather comes
on, the same tight double walls will
Keep out the cold to prevent the fruit
from freezing, The doors and win
dows may be regulated at all times
to suit the outside temperature for
maintaining an even cool inside tenn
perature.

Dairy Items.

Do not blame new COW for poor
yield until YOU have given her good
chance. Some common cows would
give good returns with heavy feed and
good care.
The time is now here when dairy
animals OF. quality are in demand.
Give heifer calves to be saved every
advantage while they are young. and
keep them growing thrlftily from birth
to maturity.
If you would have an easy job of
cleaning dairy utensils, wash them as
soon as possible after use SO that the
grease will not have time to dry and
stick. Hot water. alone, soon after a
milk vessel is used will remove most
OF the dirt and grease.
The COW that is expected to do her
best must not be compelled to range
widely during the day for her feed,
Every step requires energy and con-
sumes feed, a part of which would go
to produce milk. 1t is better to have
the dairy pastures for producing cows
subdivided with cross fences so that
the grass in one division will be grow
ing while the others are being grazed
over. In this way, the cows Will al
ways have good grazing with small
amount of walking.
Keep up good strong flow during
the hot weeks of summer by using lily
repellants and feeding soiling crops
when pasture grass is dry and short.
1t is easier to keep up the flow than
to bring it back.
Tests with cows with and without
sailing gave results highly In favor OF
sailing. Those which were given salt
produced about twenty-five per cent.
more milk than those without salt,
other conditions being the same. Cows
relish salt, and they do not seem to be
healthy and satisfied without 1t. The
cow that eats salt viii drink more Wa
ter. and a COW must be good drinker
to be a good mixer. Never feed salt
in a mixture with other feeds.

Lessons of the Fire.

The good work of Aughstas fire de-
partment. in the spectacular blaze of
Saturday evening, is credit to the
city and cause for congratulatior..
During the progress of the fire, praise
for the fire laddies was heard on every
side. That so fierce a conflagration
was held within such close limits is
amazing to some of us. who expected
to see the whole neighborhood wiped
out, Giving due consideration to the
calm night. then credit must be given
to the men of the fire department for
work which arouses local pride in the
entire department.
And another matter which was
strongly emphasized in the Augusta
Lumber Co. fire was the necessity for
more and better modern equipment.
Give these men, who fought so brave
ly and successfully. the best to be had
in the way of equipment For the hills
of our city it seems the part of wis
dom and economy to give the fire de-
partment a powerful, propelled
fire truck.
The need of more fire teams of some
sort was made plain to those early at
the fire Return trips for apparatus
while the blaze was gaining Roadway
with terrific force, was loss of valua-
BILE time. Had a strong southerly gale
prevailed 1t might have meant dis
aster
is it to be more horses, or that
which other cities are finding vastly
driven trucks? Fol-
lowing the experience of the best fire
in America, Augusta
would begin the substitution of power
trucks for animals that "eat their
heads off" SO quickly.
We believe in a new central fire sta
ton, dandy, as soon as the city can
ifford 1t, but you can't fight big
blaze with fire station. II we can
do it. let us have both the equipment
and the station, but If one must await
he funds of the future let it be the
building.
We have the men, the water and the
pressure; now let's make the rest of
he equipment as good-and then
mousse them.
