No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a less of the nutrition
. contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. Whea a man doesn't feel just right,"
when be doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
cat, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery. It cares diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood,
invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIYES HEALTH SIND STREA'GTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.
You can't afford to accept a secret nostrum as a substitute for this non
alcoholic medicine OF known composition, not even though the urgent dealer
may thereby make a little bigger profit. Ingredients printed on wrapper.
A Wonderful flew Poem By
Kipling
Tbe October American Maga
zine coutains the following won
derful new poem entitled "If "
by Rudyard Kipling:
"If you can keep your head when
all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it
on you;
If you can trust yourself when
all men doubt you,
But make allowances for their'
-doubting, too;
If you can wait and not be tired
by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal
in lies;
Or, being hated, don't give 5vay
to hating,
And yet don't look too good nor
talk too wise;
If you can dream and not
make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph
and Disaster
And treat those two impostors
just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a
trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave
your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools;
"If you can make one heap of
all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch
and toss,
And lose, and start again at your
beginnings
And never breathe a word about
-your lbss;
If.yon can force your heart and
'nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after
they are gone,
And so hold on when there is'
nothing in you
Except the Will, which says to
them: 'Hold on!'
uIf you can talk with crowds and
keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends
can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but
none too much;
If you can 1111 the unforgiving

With sixty seconds' worth of
distance run,
Yours is the Earth and every

And which is more you'll be a

at the Old Plantation; you'll be
sure to find 'em there.

The Wild East
Deadwood now follows Carson
City in "putting the lid on."
When a roan in the former haunts
of Dead wood Dick cannot invite
a pal to liquor up without be
coming liable to arrest it is clear
that the od order of things has
changed and that all self-respecting
"bad men," if any of them
yet survive, must cash in and
quit the game. Civilization has
encroached on their old. domain
and crowded them to the wall.
Soon the last town that they
were wont to "shoot up" will be
subjected to the same moral reg
ulation now enforced in the
former free and easy metropolis
of the Black Hills.
But do any of these gentry,
worthy of the name, yet remain?
Where be now the "Wild Bills"
and "Billy the Kids" of yester
lay? They are gone, and with
r.hem has passed the romance of
ihe wild west. The race of the
great "road agents" has run out.
Geronimo is dead. The latest
eastern pattern of civilization
marks what were only the other
day the haunts of the desperado.
Some of the old atmosphere of
dare-deviltry lingers among the
Kentucky mountains. But it is
now to a remoter west, to our
"inland dependencies" oversea,
that we must look for romantic
material of the sort once sup
plied by the Reeky Mountain re
gions. The exploits of the Phil
ippine outlaw, Simeon Mandac,
reported from Manila as recently
sentenced to twenty years' im
prisonment, indicate the possi
bility of-a crop of "bad men" in
these localities. There the ham
pering restrictions of law and
order are not as yet sufficiently
general to restrain the develop
ment of outlawry. New York

Wealth Wrecks Colony
Things were going passably
with tbe little- communistic colo
ny at Purleigh, England, found
ed on the principles of Tolstoi,
until one of the colonists inher
ited 15,000. Then, according
to Aylraer Maude, English trans
lator of the great Russian's works
and a sympathetic neighbor of
the colony, everything went to
pieces.
"The money went into the
bank in the name of six or seven
colonists, "says Mr. Maude, "and
any one could draw out as much
as he liked. The original owner
of the money trusted to each
one's conscience and reason. All
of the colonists were too honest
to collar too much of it for them
selves individually, but they

were so afraid that somebody
else would that they laid out the
money hurriedly and recklessly.
After the money was gone the
colony disintegrated. There was
little harmony among the mem
bers. Mr. Maude discovered
that however enthusiastic men
may be about the Tolstoi ideas,
"you have only to get them to
live together to find as much di
vergence among them as among
any other dozen people."
That had been the chief diffi
culty with all communistic ex
periments. Harmony in ideals,
in the abstract, in theory is very
different from unity in the real,
in the concrete, in practice.
People will differ about details,
however much they agree about
the general plan. And that is
what makes life interesting.
Iu so far as the little Tolstoi
colony showed what is feasible
and what is impossible in social
experiments, it was a success and
not a failure. Boston Globe.
TIMELY HINTS
FOB FARMERS,
A Lesson In Intensive Farming by
R H. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University of Arizona,
January 15, 15X17.
Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
flood-plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm
of 7-2 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin
bottomland, covered wlih saltweed, arrow
brush and creosote bushes. The original
purpose or the tract was for planting selected
vaiietisof date palms imported by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment Station, May 2, be
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
work of levelling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of 152 palms, was
completed.
THE 1'JiAS OK WORK
Recognizing, however, that a farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come Into bearing,
It was planned to plant crops for quick re
turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from the small farm
er's point of view. In order to economize
ground the irrigating borders were so placed
as to coincide with tbe rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. Irrigating water from the Colorado
Valley I. & I. Canal was obtained in the cus
tomary manner and K. Ii. Crane, himself a
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our "play farm."
In size, as well as in the intensive character
of the work planned, this "farm" is the op
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing cops of the region are alfalfa,
com, barley, and forages in general, compara
tively little attention being given to vege
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling
land lu this region is high, rarely falling be
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and tcains. Moreover, the cost, ex
clusive of maintenance, of the Government
irrigating system now under construction
will be about 83.50 an acre annually for ten
years- To meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
ment of a farm In this region. Intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. It was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson learing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa
tion that this cultural work was planned.
KKCIiAMATION OK TJIK GltoUNI).
The soil of our tract, a warm, sandy loam
well adapted to gardening operations, was
levelled, ditched and bordered at a contract
price of 817.2() an acre, considerably less than
the average for the locality, reckoning the
labor of men and teams at current rates. In
addition, barbed wire and posts ror fencing
costSGO-IO; lumber for headgates cost 8SS.57;
a drive well point and pipe, a pitcher-spout
pump and a barrel, 813.-15; a small lumber
two-room house, including five and one-half
days carpenter hire, $152.75; and a brush-roof
shelter for horses, about 55.00. Only skilled
labor employed in levelling, bordering and
ditching the ground, and for part construc
tion of the house, is included in the above
estimates, as the common labor required or
dinarily would be, and in this case was, fur
nished by the farmer himself.
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habitable for a small farmer and his
family, as stated above, therefore required a
cash outlay of about 8400-00. In addition, in
the average instance must be included a
team, wagon, plow, harrow, haying equip
ment shovels hoes and other small tools.
CROPS AND MARKER).
The crops selected for the teason of 1906
were Early Kose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions, Kockyford cantaloupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watermelons
and sundry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed to Tucson and
Blsbee. The following statements for the
variortfc crops are on the basis of net cash re
turns to the small farmer, who with an aver
age family of five and a team of horses is as
sumed to do the work required, as explained
brfow. Items necessitating cash -outlay, as
seed, irrigating water, and cratcJ are deducted
from gross returns- Water costs an average
of 50 cents for irrigation neraere for the crops
grown. The- yields in certain instances are
low, due to the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in gecvi-ul, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also alTected yields locally.
White Bermuda onions; .47 acres; Seed

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially' at the
transplanting time. One day's team work in
preparing the land and about 32 days, men's
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have bee- largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfer
tilized character of the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of orgauic mailer in the soil to
give good results.

Tbe amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about 15 working days, with team
li4 days. The sesbania used as green manur
ing on the west half of the potato ground was
given 17 irrigations. Bermuda grass, more
over, flourished beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require IK days
labor for cleaning up the .45 a errs so fertilized.
Although the larger part or the crop came
from the sesbania feitillzed portion of the po
tatoes, this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, 27 days mans time and 3
days team-work being required to putthc ses
bania under and afterwards get r'd of the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the : Uior eng
tailed could easily have been managed by a
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not

Until the last of June this crop required but
little labor. During the shipping season,
however, four persons were employed on
about half time in picking, packing and ship
fog the crop. The entire labor requirements
inr the crop were, iron's time, 85 days; women
and boys, 38 days; and team 10 days, the
heaviest demand upon labor being during

The labor on this crop was light, but In this
case time consuming, becanseof Inconvenient
arrangements for marketing. There were era
ployed on the crop 31 days men's time; 8 days
women and boys; and 2 days team, not other
wise included.
The crop was fertilized with barnyard man
ure in about three-fourths of the hills, and, as
stated above, thestand was poor. The results
of this acre are therefore conservative-

ond :e:uson, covered by this Timely Hint,
there were seven cuttings with a total of
about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay
was 322.41 for irrigating water. Tbe labor re
quired was, man's time, 14 days and team
nlnn days, which is rather high labor require
ment for this alfalfa on account of -the small
size of the field under consideration, and lim
ited use of machinery. This crop at $5 00 to
810.00 a ton, loose, which has been the price
this season, represents a cash return of not
less than 8120.00 for the crop; but this hay was
used to feed she team employed on the place,
proving to be more than sufficient Tor that,
purpose, since a stack of about three tons re
mains at the end of the season. The manure
from this source, being free from Bermuda
grass seed, was especially valuable for fertil
