wares, the merchandise would move
and the money would remain at
home circulating through many
hands and benefitting the different
channels Of trade, and there is nc
telling how many people in this
valley would get TO earn this money
over and over again.
Large Profits or More Business
The successful Merchant is the
one who is satisfied with q large
business and reasonable profits, and
if home manufactured merchandise
were used and sold, we would have
an increased population and profits
would multiply accordingly from in
creased business.
Demand Home Products
If there is anything produced in
this valley that is eatable or wear
able, Demand 1t, insist on having
it. do not send your money to the
mail, l,order houses and require your
merchants to do likewise, for when
he sells home manufactured mer-
chandise, he has helped you and
every citizen Of the Gila valley.
Demand decreases supplies, Large
Demand makes higher Prices.
Shall the Demand be for your
Raw Goods or shall it be for
Some Other State? You are

STOP THAT KNOCKING

If you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that really new,
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town,
1t isn't your town-it's YOU.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead
And if while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to see,
1t isn't your town-it's YOU.
If every man and woman Who
reads this would make it his or h,I
business to look about the prymis :
for a loose board that might lie

to remove, fasten the old pickcts
that are hanging from the fence,
that alone would be a great in
provement. But the chances are
that you will find considerable more
to do; do not try to do it all at once,
but a little done each day will make
such vast improvements within a
week that you will hardly know
your old place. AT any rate quit
knocking about the other fellow,
and clean up your own door.vard.

been carrying around and that

Merchants as Well as Citizens

The Merchants should complete
the circle by working with and
toting fair with his neighbors and
customers, and help consume the
surplus of what the neighbor pro
duces, for the surplus that your
neighbor sells is the consideration
with which he buys your wares.

APPLICATION OF LIME.

Much Error and Confusion on the Sub
ject of Various Preparations.
Everybody is familiar with lime 1t
is one of the commonest Of substances
Its Importance In sweetening the soil,
so that the clovers and alfalfa will do
well in it, is also well known to every
intelligent farmer. But we ventureSo
state that there are more error and
confusion in the minds of intelligent
men on the subject of the various lime
preparations than on any other famil-
lar topic.
Here are few things which the
reader may or may not know:
Raw ground limestone has been
found better in the long run than
benefit so soon, but it will not burn
up the organic matter in the soil. 1t
cannot possibly do harm, and the burnt
lime can and often does
The limestone does not need to be
crushed as finely as many suppose,
fine as coarse cornmeal it will dis
solve slowly and swecten the soil.
A ton of raw ground limestone will
go as far as 1,120 pounds of fresh
burnt lime
Hydrated lime is simply burnt lime
which has had about a third of its
weight in water added. Most lime sold
rs agricultural limo" is nothing more
or less than lime which has been thus
Vatered and ground.
1t takes 1,lSO pounds OF this agri-
cultural limo to 20 rs far in sweeten-
ing the soil as 1.12O pounds of fresh
burnt lime. And 1,12O pounds of one
or 1,4SO pounds of the other are equal
in sweetening power to a ton of ground
limestone.

cially if they are lacking in vitality
and make poor growth after being
planted.
Peach trees are commonly graded ac.
cording to their height. In properly
grown trees. however, there is Il pref
ty definite relation between the height
and the size of the trunk, or "caliper -
Of the tree. The diameter of the stem
Is sometimes used as the basis for
grading nursery stock The grades,
according to height, are designated as
three to four foot" -four to five foot"
five to seven foot trees, etc
The relative size and height are APP
parent. The heaviest grade is compos
ed of larger, more heavily branched
trees than the smaller ones, but they
are more bulky and heavier to handle,
and 1t is question whether they will
develop into any better trees ultimate
ly than the medium sized grade. The
smallest grade is composed of fairly
good trees. but some of them may be
lacking in vitality. Sometimes, for the
sake of reducing the first cost, Il grow
er buys even smaller trees than the
three to four foot grade. but III most
cases this proves to be false economy
A few cents per tree of additional cost
means comparatively little in the mi
tial expense of starting an orchard but
it may mean vast sum later in the
life of the orchard in the better devel
opment of good. vigorous trees.
Before planting an orchard every
prospective peach grower who has i'm
portant interests at stake should form
an accurate conception of what con-
stitutes good nursery trees in every re-
spect. He should thoroughly familiar
ize himself with the appearance of the
insects and diseases that are recog-
nized as likely to be disseminated on
nursery stock, and he should give par
ticular attention to the character Of
the roots and their freedom from such
diseases as crown gall and hairy root
In northern ATTITUDES or wherever
the winters are very severe peach trees
should be planted in the spring as ear
ly as the soil can be worked to ad.
vantage and after the danger of hard
freezes is past. But in middle and
JOuthern attitudes ana in regions gen
orally where the winters are mild and
where the fall season is favorable fol-
working the soil until late the plant
ing of trees ut that season of the yeai
is generally successful and by many
is preferred to spring planting. The
planting should he delayed until thor
oughly well and naturally ripened trees
can be obtained, but before the advent
OF really cold weather. 1t is desirable
that fall planted trees should re-estab-
fish some root action in their new
positions before winter sets in. The
danger of winter Injury is thus re-
duced. But in some Of the mildcr por
lions Of the country. where the soil
seldom freezes deep and rarely re
mains frozen for moro than few days
at time, peach trees are commonly
planted mt almost any time during the
winter.

COST OF TOOLS.

Since tools are only half worn
out by use it is found that the
cost of replacing tools on the
small farm is several times as
much to the acre as on the large
place. The small scale farmer
finds that his tools become use
less about as quickly as those
; kept Oh larger places, and since
he has applied them on a much
: smaller area his cost of opera
ton has been increased accord
: ingly.
The average farm of the Unit
ed States has about 5000 invest
ed in tools and equipment. If
use of these is not more than 80
per cent efficient this single item
; in the cost of production of
; crops needs close attention.
: Depreciation on a ten dollar
pillow is So cents year; the in
; terest charge is 33 cents. The
cost is more than twice as great
on small farms as on those that
are larger.-Country Gentleman.
