From the Citizen.

Mfr Wm. Zeckendorf returned from San
 Carlos Agency O.. Tuesday, whither he
 made hasty business trip. He reports
 the Indians all peaceable, and a belief that any ge. e al outbreak is quite improbable.
 He says the Indians are contented with Agent Hart's management, and he believes the Agent to be good officer and man.
 While the Indians speak very highly of MT. Clum they are satisfied with Mr. Hart.
 GRAND RY.
 The mostiniquitous feature of the grand | jury system received righteous blow this week by Chief Justice French in his charge to one of the very best grand juries ever impane.ed in Pima county He was deter mined that the grand jury should be we'll advised this time t, indict no person on testimony which could be shown by other testimony within it's reach to be untrust. worthy. He plainly and lawfully instructed the jury to investigate charge by receiv- evidence tending to disprove it. or explain away its criminal character. Juige French is the judge in this county, or Territory, so far as we know or can learn, who has ever charged jury in this righteous man. ner. Last spring the judge remarked in charge, that grand juries found too many indictments and pettit jnries too few yer diets, and thus vast expense is added to the county with no other notable results save the unjust blackening of character and an increased contempt for the legal machinery intended to punish criminals and give protection to innocent people
 FROM THE AZTEC DISTRICT.
 By the return of Gov Stafford and Col. Graham, from Aztec district, we learn some very interesting and encouraging facts. Work has been pushed on the Aztec lode with all speed, and sinking is going on in all of the shafts, three in number, on that mine. The character of the ore is the same in shafts No. and 8, but changing some- what in shaft No. 9, more chlorides coming il.
 On the Inca, work has begun and the prospect is very good so far as opened, the character of the ore as yet being unchanged from the surface.
 On the Iturbide mine it has been decided to drive tunnel in from 75 to 100 feet, and then cross cut, to cut each of the ledg s, and there are five of them coming into the hill. These lodges lie from side to side within space of 150 feet, and one seems on the surface quite as strong as anothe~. Green and yellow chlorides show very strongly upon every ledge, and there is every indication of first class mine.
 These gentlemen express themselves as very highly pleased with the condition of affairs in the district and, as we are inform. ed that the Aztec people contemplate the erection of reduction works at an early day We may expect the best results from this section.
 We are informed that the Tubac Mill and. Mining Company, Qimited) of London, has It last taken steps to work their property. force has been put on the Empress ofs ndil and alsO, on the old Salero lode, ard. Manager Magce will push things ss rap- dly as the men and means at his disposal will permit.

 the last twOyear5 has been invest

 and mystery. From here int,
 Gld5e the ground is intersected b,
 deep canyons; many of which con
 tain water shaded by moisture

 with acorn bearing oaks, mesca

 the last to be surrendered by the
 hostile Alp che.
 The spot, where General Stone
 man established a military camp,
 now known as Pinal ranch, is own-
 ed by our old friend Andy flaw
 klns and his partner. Here were
 raised last year over 30,O0O pounds
 of potatoes, which found quick
 market among neighboring mi
 nerS at ten cents per pound. A
 noticeable feature of Pinal ranch are its magnificent juniper and other trees. Of juniper only has
 Hawkins constructed alarge hand some cabin, and of his timber are doors, casing, furniture and the entire outfit of this "juniper pll- ace" Here the country is granite. Near by has been found consider able placer gold, but no lodges have been opened.
 Passing on one crosses the head waters Of Pinto creek, a stream
 flowing to the North into Salt river. Marvellous are the tales of rich nugget float found along this creek. One man is said to have gathered nearly 300 pounds of nugget silver scattered along its bed. But all efforts to discover the ledge, from which came this float, have hitherto proved futile. The hill sides sloping into the stream are covered with impenp- trlble thickets of cats1llw bush eS. These have guarded the hid d n treasures of Pinto creek from eye and foot of proSp .ctor.

The grand result of our Jersey business
has been entirely satisfactory, and, aside
from the business aspect of the case, it is
pleasant to see that the breed is now yery
generally recognized rs Il sine anu non.
not only of the best butter.making, but
for the most butter making. 1t is conclud-
ed that no other animal, except a GOAT,
will get so much butter out of ton of hay
as good Jersey COW, and that no other
COW will give the butter such good quality,
Zen years ago the Jersey COW was HIGH,
priced because gentlemen wanted her for
their lawns. To-day she is still higher
priced, because she is recognized as the
founder of the coming race of butter
mans COW. Ton years ago, high prices
depended on deer-like look. To-day if
depends on such excellence of butter
quality, us will lead to the greatest i'm
provement OF the race for practical pur.
poses. Plenty Of "solid color" JERSEYS
can be bought at moderate figures, if thew
are poor mixers, but the ideal butter COW
OF this breed now commands higher Gg-
ures than were ever known before. Tbe
highest price yet quoted is $25, 900, paid
by Mr.. Charles Sharpless for " Young

Its present high scale of prices on any

in the Shorthorn, the Jersey, or any other

lence, OF Il practical character, which

Ten years ago at the great fairs. the

they were snubbed as starvelings bv the

and many causes have combined to brine

CoRRoDED LEAD PPE.-We passed, a
day or two since, where neighhor was
digging up the lead pipe which took the
water from neighbours barn, across the
highway, to his own yard. The pipe he
dug up had been down but few years,
but was badly corroded, the under side in
many places eaten out in holes one-fourth
the circumference of the pipe, and an inch
or two in length. The pipe carrying the
water to the neighbours barn had been
down many years, and to all appearances
is still perfect This effect was attributed
to the action on the pipe of tan bark
which was put about the pipe where ii
crossed the highway, supposed to have
been put there TO prevent freezing.
No i'll effects have been observed from
use of the water; and the same water
coming through other pipe, which is still
sound, though in use double the time,
makes it appear probable that the corro-
sion was from the outside of the pipe.
Who has noticed similar caseP

SHRINKAGE OF CoRN.-In answer to
the question of "IIow much does corn
lessen in weight by keeping dry, when
compared with its weight at time of huSk-
ing?" the Superintendent of the Penn
sylvania Experimental Farm answers as
follows; In the fall of 1870 Thomas M.
Harvey put 400 pounds Of sound corn
(ears) in lathed box to test its shrinkage.
1t was weighed and boxed November IS,
quite ripe and dry. This was late for
husking, you will notice. November p
one box was shelIed out and made 5 bush
els q 1-2quarts by measure, or 322 pounds
6 ounces, and averaged 55l ounces to the
bushel; cobs weighed rs pounds 8 IL
ounces, making the total loss 2 pounds l
1-2 ounces. The next box was shelle1
March 80, following, and made bushels
and 8 ounces, or 29S pounds s ounces, av-
eraging Sc pounds SIG ounces per bushel !;
the cobs weighed 81 pounds and 10 ounces,
making loss of 46 pounds IA ounces, Or
Z 3-4 per cent on the grain. and loss Of
II IL per cent of corn and cobs. This re-
suit would have been quite different if the
boxes had been filled with early husked,
large oobbod corn. havo had largo oars
that lost so per cent from the time they
were first husked till thoroughly dried.
An experiment with unshelled corn by
another party resulted us follows; 1875,
November 10, put in crib So bushels ears,
weight, 1886 pounds; 10th do, weight,
!, $3.50 pounds; 18th, do, weight, 1,970-35
2-3 pounds per bushel when cribbed. Au-
gust 3, 1876, it weighed out of crib, 81 Is
bushels, Or loo pounds for each draft put
in crib. Each bushel of ears now weighed
"a 3-4 pounds, making loss in bulk 1876
per cent, and in weight, 22.6 per cent

A New METHOD WITH MuK-Tbo
managers of few creameries in New
York have adopted q new method in the
management of their milk. As the new
milk is received night and morning at the
creamery, it is run into large watts, ike
make'vats, and at once heated to one him..
dred and forty degrees or above, bv driv-
ing steam directly into the milk. This
drives the foreign odors out and enables
them to keep the milk twelve to twenty.
four hours longer than it would without
heating. AS soon as the heating is done,
cold water is run around the milk and
through it by series of horizontal tubes
in the. middle of the milk, the ton tnbo
being just below the cream to be ont If
the way of skimming. Thus by COOLING
the milk at the outside and in the middle
it is rapidly done and the cream hurried to
the surface. ~
When it has cooled to the Temperature
OF the air, an air-tight cover is let down
upon the vat, shutting the milk entirely
away from all atmospheric Influences
circumstance of considerable importance
as the air in cheese factories is seldom inst

condition it stands twelve to sixty hours
till the cream is all up, or so much of if

Milk FROM TUNIPs.-Mr. Nathan
Hart, at recent agriCu tural meeting in
Connecticut, in advocating the use Of
turnips for feeding milch cows said;
A few winters since was feeding com
mon turnips, and when the supply was
exhausted | had the curiosity to estimate
the value of turnips per bushel for feeding
purposes from the returns that actually
received from the milk. We were then
getting six cents per quart for our milk
The diminished flow of milk resultihS .

the COW to more perfectly digest her food.

COW and produce good digestion. l feed

MIR. Hart practiced feeding the turnips
Just before milking at night. Immediate.
ly thereafter the lasr feed OF the dav is
given. He could not find that they in.
duced any bud odor in the milk. but
thought it important to commence feeding
them gradually and to slowly increase the
amount TO the full feed, and also import
ant to feed them just before milking

and while the meat so made may at ordi-
nary temperature appears soft and fabby,
it really contains more nutriment-that is
more albuminous matter-and will shrink
less in cooking than corn-fed pork. And
here is the explanation; In corn-fed pork,
the cell tissues which envelop the fatty
matter are very thin and light, and conse-
quently tender, and when heat is applied,
either by boiling or frying, the cells burst,
the lard escapes, and the heshy portions
shrink to almost nothing. And this hap
pens because corn is very deficient in the
substances which make cell tissue-that is,
in albuminous matter. On the contrary,
milk and slop are very rich in albuminous
matter, and flesh is almost wholly compos-
ed of ii, and consequently swine fed and
fattened on these substances have cell It's
sues largely developed and where the lard
escapes in cooking there is II much larger
portion of solid meat left.-PrGirie Fur

Many Of our neighbors' cherry trees
are becoming knotty, and dying. A lady
narrated in our hearing, a few evenings
since, her experience with tree of the
same description, A large tree, of the
common red variety, stood beside the
kitchen door. The body and limbs were
knotty and rough, the fruit scanty and
worthless; the dead leaves in fall were
continually drifting over the porch and
walk in fact, in the good housewife s
eyes, the tree was simply nuisance, and
SHE importuned her husband to remove it.
He refused to do this, however, and she
determined to kill the tree. First, bar
rel of beef brine was poured about the
roots, and this was followed by boiling
suds, every wash-day. The result was
satisfactory, but far from that anticipated.
The following season, the tree was loaded
with superior fruit, and was free from all
knots, or other defects. The enormous
crop and changed appearance of the tree
might not have been attributable to the
of brine and soap suds, yet we
believe the experiment to be worthy Of
trial. Our own trees have never been
troubled in that way.-RuraI NeW Yorker
