There will be no Santa Fe or Ari- zona Eastern ticket office in Phoenix after today. In fact. there ceased to be any yesterday, when the consolidation of the two ticket offices was begun un- der the direction of the federal railroad administration. The consolidated Of fees will occupy the quarters lately occupied by the Santa Fc. and under orders from the administration, the quarters of the Arizona Eastern in the Hotel Adams will be released on the best terms possible.
 The order for the consolidation was received a week ago when it was made known that the recommendations of fered by r. ?.

than to delay the operation until some
of them have reached q height q: 2 to
21s feet. The early pinchiDg or dis
budding induces the development of
more numerous lateral branches.
Shoots which have been allowed to
harden and to grow to 2 or 3 feet in
height will form few lateral branches.

PROTECT YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Snow Should Be Firmly Packed 70
Prevent GirdIing by Rabbits
and Field Mice.

The one and twO-year old fruit trees,
should have the snow firmly packed
around each tree, grapevine, currant
and goOseberry bush. Unless this is
done, the trees may be girdled by rab-
bits above the snow line and the field
mice under the snow.
Much the better method is to have
each tree and bush wrapped with a
strip Of tarred paper from six inches
below the surface Of the ground to 20
inches above the ground. Common
brown paper may be used if the bet
ter quality cannot be had. 1t takes
but few minutes to wrap each tree.
Where the winters are severe and
the SHOWS deep, the tender bark OF
the large fruiting trees is often
gnawed. The trunk of the tree and
often the branches have the greater
part of the bark completely destroyed.
Field mice are more destructive than
the rabbits, as they work under the
snow and are much more numerous.

USE OF BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination as Preventive for StrangIes
and Distemper Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination of horses as a pre-
Vcntive for strangles Tor diStemper is
being extensively employed. 1t has
been found that the cause of the dis
ease warrants the use of bacterial
vaccine. This gives assistance to ma
ture's own efforts Of protection and
forms the logical means of preventing
strangles as well as ether diseases
caused by specific organisms.
The outcome of the vaccination of
horses has in some instances been dis
appointing. It is possible that in such
cases the bacteria has deteriorated or
become ineffective, or that the results
are complicated by secondary infec-
tiOns. In the latter case it is advisable
to use bacterinS that will combat the
secondary infections. FTheSe are called
mixed bacterinS, andi contain vari-
ETY. Of killed bacteria commonly en-
countered in such disepses.
In case distempef appears, all
healthy animals ,shoula be Immediately
injected with streptobacterins. The
administration of BACTERIAL vaccines
should be made by competent veter-
marian, as improper administration
may not provide proper protection and
so result in Irregularities. -Bacterina
can be obtained from manufacturers
Of various biological products.

CROPS TO GROW IN ORCHARD
Ideal Method Is Not to Grow Any Gull
tivated Crop Between Trees
Some Can Be Grown.

The ideal method of handling the
young orchard is not to grow any cul-
tivated crops between the trees at all.
This will allow them to be cultivated
both ways all during summer, which
iG very desirable. Carefully done,
however, some Of the hoed crops, like
potatoes, strawberries, cabbage, etc,
can be grown without injuring the trees
to any great extent. These crops more
than pay for the expense of cultivat-
ing the trees. Not more than three
rows should be placed between two
peach rows. When the trees begin to
bear fruit, these crops should be left
off entirely, except possibly two or
three rows of peas between the peach
rows.
in no case should the trees be stunt
ed or neglected in any way by growing
crops in the orchard. Such crops as
corn and grain should be left Off en-
tireIy as they draw heavily on the soil
and rob the trees of both food anu
moisture.

CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING

ing, which is enervatng to the horsa
and consequently produces an unnec.
essary drain upon his strength and
vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that
sweats freely during the changing
weather Of spring is very apt to take
cold. Rough, shaggya coats should be
clipped in the sprint;; before heavy
work begins.
There are exSeAasr SeAsr ~ ii ppery on the
market for this purt E., and they car
be bought at very hsonable prices
A good clipper will ply for itself in 6
single season on almost any farm, and
sometimes it will do much more than
that. If team is laid up with bad
cold for few days when work is
pressing the loss of work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use of clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable.

DISEASES OF PEACH TREES
Brown Rot and Scab Held Fairly Well
in Check by Use of Lime-Sul-
phur Spray.

Brown rot and scab in peaches have
been fairly we'll held in check in New
Jersey by the use of the self-boiled
lime-sulphur spray, but the best possi-
BILE results have not always been OBJ
tanned because the spray injured the
trees in summer, so that growers put
off the summer application. Now they
have worked out q new preparation
which has given satisfaction as q sum-
mer fungicide without injuring the
trees. 1t is made by mixing eight
pounds of fine dry sulphur with four
pounds hydrated lime, dissolving one
and One-half ounces of ground glue in
three gallons Of water, then thorough
ly incorporating the two mixtures and
diluting the whole with water to make

BIG RETURNS FROM SPRAYING
Additional Profit of $1,000 Secured
From Orchard OF 200 Trees
by Nebraska Man.

Another convincing showing for
good returns from spraying trees has
just come to hand from a Nebraska
fruit grower, J. Ralph Cooper, who has
completed three years of spraying
work under the direction of his state
experiment station. During the three
years period the unsprayed trees ma
tured only 13.4 per cent Of marketable
fruit. This left SG.6 per cent Of the
fruit that was fit only for vinegar, and
gave an annual average income of only
:$167 for the unsprayed trees. In con-
trast, the fruit trees that were sprayed
four times each season for the control
of fungOus diseases and insect pests,
at a cost of "a cents per tree for labor
and spray material, returned an an
nual average income of $7.3S per tree.
This means an additional profit of over
81 900 from an orchard Of only 200
trees.

CULTIVATE ALL FRUIT TREES
While Young They Should Be Given
as Much Attention as Any Other
Crop on the Farm.

Fruit trees respond as readily and
definitely to cultivation as do garden
vegetables and grain crops, and, while
young, they should be- cultivated with
as much care as anye other crop. Ex-
periments by agricultural scientists
have shown that fruits breathe, and
that cold storage delays their ripening
by causing them to breathe more slow
ly than when warm. II an orchard is
given as much care as grain and other
crops-if it be carefully pruned and
sprayed and the groudd properly cul-
tivated, especially the first year, there
will be no disappointment as to yield,
both in quantity and,spality.
