RAIN PROVES
 A ST|MULANT
The Effect of the Storm of the Past Few Days on the Already Active Business of E. J. Bennitt & Co. is Apparent

'The splendid rains of the past few days has made a wonderful improve ment in local real estate conditions, said a member of tEc firm of F. J. Ecnnitt x Go. yesterday. What gave every promise of being an unusually good winter is now practically as- sured, for the rain we have just had.
 with the snowfall ir the mountains, means an abundance of water. Al ready we are beginning to sec the effect of the wet weather A number of newcomers who were here looking over the valley, and who were much pleased with it, are now still better satisfied and eXpec- to locate here permanently.
 The Bennitt office reports consid- erable activity in town property of late. having made number of satis- factory sales recently. To Mrs. Ger trude Graves was sold q 15-foot lot in Bennett Place, on North Fourth avenue, an east front just south of the new Craig home The Considera- ton was $1,750. Mrs. Graves expects to build on the property at an early date. having just disposed of her new Fast Evergreen home. Her new home will be story and ! half brick and in appearance will compare very fa- vorably with the other residences ir that locality.
 An exchange in property between r. D. Washer and the Capitol Realty company resulted in the transfer to the last named of a fine building lot OF East Willetta just off of Center. while Mir Washer acquires two lots OF West Madison street, just south of the capitol He Is Just finishing an attractive bungalow on the same street and plans to-start another in the early future.
 Wonderful changes have been made on West Madison within the past eighteen months. The Rennitt com p%ny has just finished two attractive bungalows there and has another in course of construction, while several ether parties are also building What less than two years ago was an un- improved street is now, for a distance oC two blocks, one of the most at tractive streets in Capitol addition, and, without exception. every house in the two blocks is occupied by the owner.
 On Jackson street the Capitol Builders company, through the Ben Eitt office. is engaged in the compie- ton of five medium priced bunga- l-ws. They all face south and will lave every modern convenience. It is the plan of the company to build ten houses there, the aim being to supply a demand for modern houses at a moderate price and on good terms. Several of the cottages are now near ly finished and will be ready for the market within the next ten days On West Jefferson street, half a biock west of the capitol, the Bennitt company has started work on a ! double house for Mrs Sadie Cole , man. It will be brick with stippIe finish and is being rushed to com Fiction as rapidly as the condition of the weather will permit. The com pany has just completed a commodi- ous story and a half-dwelling on East Willetta street. adding another to the many fine dwellings it has built in that part of Phoenix

SOME POULTRY CONCLUSIONS
Expert Of Missouri Station Gives Out
Few Practical susssstIons on
Chicken Raising.

Under the heading Of Lessons
Learned" Mr.. QuisenbeTy Of the Mis-
souri, experiment station has issued
the following notes for poultry raisers.
based on the years work In the egg
laying contest at that station:
That there Is no variety Of breed
which far excels others In general use
as far as egg production is concerned.
That some hens have born ten
dency to lay. and others have q born
tendency to put on fat. The latter kind
should be culled out In establishing .
laying strain.
That a little moistened food is rel
ished and will increase egg produc-
ton.
That many high producers lay thin
shelled eggs. and that the germs are
often weak. A few high producers are
able to lay large numbers Of eggs, fer
tilize them and put vitality into the
chick.
That the Mediterranean class can
stand more protein and fattening food
than the birds Of tho American, Asia
tic or English classes. There Is not 90
much danger of the Mediterraneans
becoming too fat. and they require q
richer food than the other classes men
toned.
That the purpose Of properly feeding
and housing a hen 10 not to feed eggs
into her body. but to so feed and care
for her that you may get out Of her the
eggs which breeding has placed there,
Proper feeding. housing and care have
. bearing on the number Of eggs pro
duced by a flock. but breeding 10 most
important.
That the best producers have broad
bodies. The back is broad. and the
ribs are widespread. giving plenty OF
room for egg and digestive organs.
That good layers are big eaters. A
bird must have capacity to eat and di.
gest big amount Of food II she is to
lay well.
That most of the high producers
have good sized combs for their breed.

strument and destroyed. These eggs
should be carefully collected in the
spring and q summer collection should
also be made.
Next to destroying the eggs. the use
OF arsenical sprays is the most eficient
means OF preventing injury by this
pest More care in coating the under
sides of the leaves than s usually

are made preceding and at blossoming

outbreak OF this and other leaf-feed-
ing pests. However. II the caterpil-

Here's a Book

The Turning of Griggsby," by Irving
Bachelor. published by Harper & Bros,
of New York and London.
Griggsby was a little town in north
ern New England, where horse racing.
ness on the part Of the male contingent
prevailed to a shocking degree. The
time was twenty years or so after the
death Of Daniel Webster. when his men,
ory was still fresh in the minds of voters
and all lawmakers (there being a slight
difrerence), and in an effort to emulate
his example. they wore high silk hats
and big stocks. talked loud and long
after the fashion of the famous states
man. and consumed quantities of good
liQuor-followed him, in fact, in every
respect but his success.
In the course Of the action OF just
such "reminiscences as any grandfather
might tell. a charming love story is
delicately interviewer and. in the refor-
nation of Griggsby by the young girl
who owned the town newspaper, the af-
fairs of two of the principal figures of
the tale are brought about to a most
satisfactory state of betterment.
The character of Smead. the man
whose eyes were opened to the state of
affairs in Griggsby. and whose nimble
wit and pithy observations are some of
the best that the author ever put in the
mouth of man. is cleverly drawn.
Through the combined efforts of the
hero. the heroine. and Smead. an
"ex d. W. as the author calls the
worthless ones. Griggsby is made over,
its patient mothers given rest and free
dom. and its younger generation given
all Of the happiness which ignorance.
graft. and liquor. had denied their
predecessors.

also in Canada The News finds that it pays the
Michigan farmer $3.50 per ton for beets delivered at
the factory. The raiser pays the freight and buys
his own seed. On the other hand, the Canadian
farmer is given his seed free, has his freight PAID
for him, has his tariff duty of IS cents per ton paio
for him by the sugar company, and then gets the
same $3.50 for his beets. That looks, certainly, as
if the tariff was not protecting the Michigan beet
grower there is in it a strong suggestion, indeed,
that our tariff is actually twisted to the advantage
of the Canadian grower.
All this does not prove by any means that the
tariff doesn't help the Michigan sugar manufacturers
Perhaps the industry could not continue without the
tariff. But whether it could or not there is justca
ton for the demand that if the tariff makes it profit
able, the profits should be divided among the beet
growers in such fashion as to give the American
farmer as good deal as the Canadian, and little
better.
