THE ARIZONA KICKER:
UnirKatUrklBntawfrMBtlMrv
.. , Capellato Wast.
( .Scstkcded: With this issue we sua
.'pend the agricultural department, ec
tablisbed five months ago. Weiaati
tuted this feature as an experiment,
and to help out a literary tenderfoot
from the East, who was bare-footed
and penniless, but who was4ertile of
suggestions. The experiment was a
failure. The aforesaid i. t-f. was
drunk most of- the time, and when
sober he didn't know a cactus from a
wild lemon. The most valuable sug
gestion made by him was that the
farmers of Arizona drink less oats and
sow more whisky. We have bidden
the tenderfoot a permanent and last
ing adieu, and we now bid farewell to
agriculture as a set thing. Wo shall
occasionally refer to the subject in a
reckless,Vff-hand way, taking chances
on results, but there will.be no further
studied attempt to make the sandy
plains get up and hump themselves
into fields of waving corn, and wo
shan't cover the rocky hillsides here
about with vineyards or patches of de
ceptive buckwheat. Good-bye, ten
derfoot good-bye, agriculture!
Go East. We warn those meddle
some citizens who are charging us
with political treachery to go easy. It
is true that the Kicker has been Demo
cratic at times, and that we have oc
casionally had a good word for the
Republican ticket, and that we have at
intervals seemed to bo red-hot for pro
hibition, but wo were sort of feeling
around to see what kind of a paper our
subscribers preferred. Wo didn't pro-ipose-to
break ourselves in two in .the
first six months by getting, left Wo
had a Democratic and a Republican,
rooster ready for tbo election returns,
and wo didn't care a cent which way
the old kangaroo jumped. We shall
now be a little more Republican thaa
Democratic, as we want tho county
printing, but whenever we say any
thing distasteful to tho Democracy we
will, as soon its tho matter is called
to our attention, turn about and give)
Harrison a "wipe" in tbo next issue.
We shall bo independent in nothing
and neutral in lots of things, hoping
that the Democrats will get there nexb
time and advising the llcpubttcansto
hang. on if it takes a rib. We arq
heavy on tho political principles of
our forefathers, but wo have run. our
circulation up to IDS copies, and" wo
don't propose to hit any of our sut
scribcrs between tho cyc9 to tickle aay
partisan.
NOTICK TO roNTIMBCTORS. We. can
not return rejected manuscript If
not accompanied by stamps wj use
them to light the ofiicu tire. U stamps
are sent we usu thorn on our business
letters. If the author o' Seven,
Iiuckcts of Blood, or tho O jrk-Scrcw's
Revenge M will send h'-'r ur'jdress U this
oflico she will U-ar of something to
" rtuauuiK;. no irave received a
sketch entiled: " l$o' Mailed Bob, or
the Bobber of Bobber's Hill." which
we will publish en receipt of the
author's check far fifty dollars. We
must, respectfully decline tho stories
entitled: Her Rchcr Booted Me, "and
" An Adventure With Indians in
France." Tltey seem to have an im
moral tone. Contributors should al
ways send in their right nvmes, noUfor
publication, but in order that nono of
onr thousand checks sball go to tho
wrong person.
Steadily iMruovir.-r,. Since our
last issue Colonel Fairbanks has had
three rods of bcatitfiful picket fence
erected in front of his adobe, and the
(Jem saloon has reouived three barrels
of whisky and a new pier-glass. We
chronicle thefe improvements in no
boastful spirit, but simply that out
siders may know thnt tho spirit of
progress is not dead within us. Wo
arc going right to the front as a town.
Accident. We regret to learn that
Major Jackson, one of tho pioneer res
idents of our little city, kicked at his
dog last Saturday and drove his big
too back into his heel by hitting tho
corner stone of the new Masonic Tcra
plo. The Major was our second sub
scriber, and he never meets us without
asking us to drink. Wo sympathize
with him in his dark hour of trial, and?
trust that ho may soon reappear
among us. Should his condition be
come critical wo shall issue daily bulle
tins from this office.
Go Hence. A correspondent wishes
us to explain tho meaning of the term:
'From Alpha to Omega." Wo shan't
do it. Wc have had politics enough
for one season, and propose to letup
on the machine. Wc never beard of
Alpha, anyhow, and as for old.'Chncga,
may he be durned! Detroit Fixe Frets.

"I want the best suite of -rooms on
your first floor," said the gentleman,
registering his name.
"That will cost you twenty dollars
a day. sir." replied the hotel clerk.
"I didn't ask you what it cost, sir;
I don't care what it costs."
"Guests without baggage are re
quired to pay in advance."
"Look at that card, sir!" thundered
the guest, throwing upon the clerk's
desk a card inscribed:

" Beg pardon. Mr. Jones," said tho
clerk, humbly, as ho looked at it.)
"Boy, show the gentleman to roosa:

SUPERFICIAL FARMING.
A. Style of Agriculture. Which Witt Never
T He Very ProNtable.
Too many farmers count the total
area of their acreage rather than tho
average producing value of the land.
No one ever made this dillusivo stylo
of farming very profitable. It would
pay far better in tho end to concen
trate means and energy within narrow
limits, rather than acquire, a number
of acres to be half tilled. Again, tlte
farmer in putting out man tiro gener
ally spreads it over too much territory.
A near neighbor sowed to wheat thir
teen acres of uniform soil; twelve
acres in his usual way well plowed,
harrowed level and the teed harrowed
in. 1'he other-acro was well broken,
and six tons of manure broadcasted
and thoroughly incorporated with tho
soil. In doing this the surface beenmo
in lino condition. This acre yielded
22J bushels; tho twelve acres returned
only C bushels per acre. Tito grain
on the one acre cost forty-live cent
per bushel; on the twelve acres, sixty
live cents per bushel. Yet with all tho
ovidence in favor of high culture wo
still spread ourselves thinly over
broad acres. It should bo the motto
of every farmer to make tho most of
each foot of land, and to nccumulato
all the manure he can -and use it to tho
best advantage. Much space, always
very rich, around PUibles. barns and
fences, is allotted to intruding under
brush or debris, or given up to un
sightly weeds. Learn neatness, care
fulness and economy in the use of land.
Make moro money with less labor.

Advice to an Ar.piring Poet.
Never write a poem beginning Abou
Bon any thing.
Keep your hair cut.
uon i writo poetry times you are
forced to do so, either by hunger or
tho enthusiasm of your muse.
Do not be cast down becauso you re

first effort.
If possible, avoid rhyming "Casta
net" with "pianoforte." "frolic" with
"cow-lick" or " Niagara" wiflivTip

than yon can help, and don't feel hurt
if he says lie's out. He frequently
says that without meaning It,

be used in the dishwater. Then the
glasses, cups and saucer should be

moro hot water should be used and

cloths and tea towels should be kept;

management of tho dining-room, aed
tho exercise of good judgment, the
humblest household may always have
a pleasant dining-room and an ele

Sheep Trouble and Remedies.

"fouls." To effect a euro, after trim

alwavs be at the command of
"gulden-hoof." although a run ia lew
lot is favorable in time of drosth.
Sheep are also troubled with parasites
in tho form of scab. This can be
cured by a wash of tobacco water ia
which is a little turpentine. A good
plan is-to scrub or dip the sheep after
shearing. The tick or sheep lousoeaa
bo destroyed also by tobacco. This is
ono of the best u.cs the plant can be
put to. Tho lnuo i somewhat like a
