No more will the light-hearted transcontinental tour ist catch a glimpse of the bent, grizzled old man trudging along the lonely tracks on the desert as they flash by. He was one of the best known char acters of the southwest. Twenty years ago "Arizona Charley" was an engineer on the Southern Pacific. One day at the end of his run he got word that he bride of a few months had been killed in a train wreck. A broken rail had caused the wreck. He resigned and began walking the tracks over the five hun dred mile stretch of desert between Yuma and El Paso, looking for broken rails. With a blanket and a frying pan slung over his shoulder he has tramped his beat winter and summer for twenty years, reporting defects in the track to the nearest section house. He has never ridden on a train since his wife was killed. Nearly every tourist over the south western route has seen "Arizona Charley." Conductors and Pullman porters always pointed him out as the train sped past leaving him a speck in the desert. Of late years the old man has be come feeble and now the Cochise coun ty court has adjudged him insane and committed him to the state asylum. Farm and Garden LEGAL NOTICES. Notice.

Thai on Young Trees Mora Apt to Bo Injured. Prepared by Paul Thayer, Ohio station. 1 The fact that the peach Is not per fectly hardy In this climate makes the question of winter killing a perennial one in the mind of the orchardist Hardiness of bud, as we term It, Is 'de pendent upon several factors. The one receiving greatest consideration Is va rietal difference. It Is that which we consider In the selection of varieties for the orchard. The susceptibility of a variety to winter killing of the buds varies somewhat, however, according to the age of tbo tree. As a general rule it will be found that the buds on young trees are more apt to be Injured than those on more mature trees. Iu Ohio winter hardiness does not mean so much resistance to low tem peratures as it does resistance to tbo rr: Price must be reasonable.

That, the varieties behave differently under various condi tions we have reason to feel eoulitlent. The Fitzgeriild is a in.se in point. This peach originated in Canada and bears a reputation there for extreme hardiness. Here white bnrily it is not conspicuously mo. The liiiVerence is that the Canadian winter is one oT con tinued sternly cold, varied liy wanner weather, but without the hi-li tempera tures produced by the winter sun in Ohio. Here it is not unusual f.M' us to have a week in late January or early February in which the temperature for several consecutive days reaches 50 or lit! degrees F. during midday. Thus it would seem that the rela tive hardiness of varieties for a winter continuously cold might lie extremely dilTeitMil- from Hint for n'Tnrlnlile win ter. Storing Sweet Potatoes.

(J. Starr, an authority on sheep feeding and who buys niyl feeds sev eral thousand lambs inch year, gives the following advice as ii result of his long experience : To be a sueiMnsful feeder requires more use of brains than any other line of agriculture. The successful feeder must be on the wnlch for tilings to happen iu the iH'its. Care in being punctual with break fust for hnntis will do wonder. No one ever made sheep fat by stint ing them. Ijunbs really do best ill dry lots when the feeding begins too late to use f nx'ii blades of corn and grass. They have a disposition to wander ami will not stay with the feed tmltvvi more or lesH closely confined. Enough troughs should lie provided for grain feeding so that nil cau get all the gnilti (hey desire. The water should always tie fren!i and clean. Have plenty of It In enough troughs so that sheep can easily drink. Plenty of corn is always needed. Cot tonseed meal Is very useful, e.sixvisll.v when silage is used. A pound of silage Ir bead ier day is about enough. ,") III I V7VV: If A NY BODY can tell vou what a tobacco costs. But only yo' old pipe can tell you what a tobacco is worth. ' TH ERE can't be any better pipe tobacco than VELVET because it is the best of good Burley cured in Nature's way. No one has been able to equal Nature's method of curing tobacco two years' ageing in wooden hogsheads. It is slow it is expensive, but if you will try a tin of VELVET today you will know that it is right. Get clearly in your own mind just what qualities you want your pipe tobacco to have. Then give your old pipe a chance to prove to you that VELVET fills every one of your requirements. Make any test you like; compare VELVET with any tobacco you choose and the sooner the better! 1 1 i 1 10c Tins 5c Metal-lined Bags :;y:.;;J-.y.;j:- . .;....v;,i'ff '.v.
