Culture and Growth Of Trees.-People
who have never tried cultivation upon
ornamental trees have little idea how
much more rapidly they grow when
under culture than set in the grass. A
year ago the writer placed a lot of orna-
mental trees in rows for cultivation until
they were needed for planting out, and
at the same time put a few in place upon
the lawn of the same lot. While the
former have grown several feet of wood
in the year the latter have developed but
a few inches of growth. The reason lies
largely in the fact that grass requires an
immense amount of water in its growth,
and the grass of the lawn has so deprived
the trees of moisture asto actually almost
kill them. The lesson is an obvious one,
but how shall we profit by it?
The answer is this: Plant trees in
groups altogether, and then keep the
area of ground in which they are planted
entirely under cultivation. This may
be done by horse and %cultivator, if the
lawn is large, or by hand if the groups of
trees occupy a small area. The objection
that it renders the lawn unsightly is not
valid, for if the cultivated ground be
kept with clean edges that are in nice
curves and no weedsbe allowed to collect,
the lawn is in no wise injured by the
cultivated portion.

Mexico and the Mexican
States adjacent to our borders,
that have laid dormant for centu-
ries, will then be made available
for the employment of millions of
people, and will add untold mill
lions to the wealth of our country.
Arizona Is the great central point
of this railroad struggle, and the
incalculable mineral wealth which
she holds within her miserly
clutches Is undoubtedly the mag
net which irresistibly draws them
onward. No portion of the known
world equals Arizona In the extent
and variety Of it's mineral deposits.
To reach this great and opulent
Held of commerce, an era In rail-
road building has been inaugurated
which surpasses anything that the
past has witnessed whose
beneficial influence will haye no
territorial limit, but will be felt In
the East as we'll as in the West, in
the South no less than the North.
