Honor Women.

There is nothing manly in making
light of women. Never use lady's
name in an improper place, or at an I'M
proper time, or IN mixed company.
Never make assertions about her that
may be untrue, illusions that she her.
self would blush to hear. Shun men
who do not scruple to make use of q
woman's name in reckless and unprin-
cipled manner. They are the very
worst members of the communicates

humanity. Many good and worthy
woman's character has been forever

Agriculture In Arizona.

Yuma and MohaYe counties embrace
the great Colorado Valley, which con-
tains thousands of acres of the richest
soil in the United States. Owing to its
yearly overflow, the valley is covered
with a coating of vegetable mold, which
constantly enriches the SOIL Vegetation
Is very rapid in this valley. Weeds,
grasses, and wild hemp attain an amaz-
ing height IN few weeks after the water
has receded. in fact, everything grows

overflow no better soil for cotton. sugar.
hemp, and semi-tropical fruits is found
on the continent. In some places the
bluffs come down to the stream. and to
other points the valley is from one TO
five miles wide. Below Gutenberg the
area of the valley land is much greater
than above. To bring the waters of the
Colorado by canals over its rich valley,
and prevent the river from OVERLOOKING,
would no doubt be an expensive under
taking, but the hundreds of thousands
Of acres of magnificent land which
would thus be reclaimed are o prize
worth striving to gain. A company has
been formed for the raising of hemp and
sugar-cane, which has already begun
operations in the valley below the town
Yuma; but with the exception of small
patches cultivated by the Indians, the
rich valley of the Colorado is still virgin
| soil. Between the junction of the ella
and Colorado, there is a tract of very
rich bottom, by some estimated at 3d.
600 acres, all of which could be brought
under cultivation at moderate cost.
The two largest streams Of the Terri
tory, flowing on either side, wonld give
an inexhaustible water supply, and the
configuration of the ground is such that
it can be easily irrigated. There are
several fine ranches along the valley Of
the ella, in Yuma County, which yield
good crops of grain and vegetables. The.
total number of acres under cultivation
in the county is about $500. The valley
of the Colorado, in Mohave County, pre-
sents The same features as in Yuma, but
is not so extensive. The soil is equally
as rich and productive, but it requires
capital to open canals, throw up embank-
ments, and put the land In a condition
for successful cultivation. At present
| farming IN Mohave Is confined to the
Big Sandy, in the Southern part of the
county, where there are about J, 900 acres
under cultivation, producing fine crops
If grain, vegetables, and fruit. Sue
cessful farming in Arizona depends en-
tirely on irrigation. No finer crops are
raised in any country than in this Terri
tory, where water can be had. There
are thousands of acres of productive
lan1 in the leading valleys, which can be-
made avail able by proper distribution
of the present water supply. While the

there was a ,threefold increase. The

Is anticipated that, even should the

ing eggs by the dozen. 1t seems this
discussion is not confined to America
alone. Shall eggs be sold by the num-
Der or by the pound, is the momentous
question that is said to be agitating
several Partisan scientists. 1t has been
learned that the average weight OF
twenty eggs laid by fowls Of different
hyeeds is two and one-eighth pounds.
The breeds that lay the largest eggs.
averaging seven to pound, are Black
Spanish, Houdans, La Fleches and
Creve-Coeurs. Eggs of medium size and
weight, averaging eight or nine to the
pound, are laid by Cochins, Brahmas,
Polands, Dorkings, Games and Sultans.
Hamburgs lay about ten eggs to the
pound. Thus there is a difference of
three eggs in one pound weight. Hence
it is claimed that in justice to the con-
sumner eggs should be sold by weight.
No one disputes this theory, but who will
suggest remedy

Cost of the Indians.

The Government has expended about
1924, 900, 900 the last ten years in guard
ing, Furnishing and keeping in order gen
orally our unruly red children. The
''wars" themselves have been compare
lively inexpensive. The Modoc war of
1929 cost only 1886, 900. The war in
Texas, in 1876, cost only $6,641. A
more expensive trouble was that with
the Sioux, in 1867, which ran up a bill
of 81, 1874, SCI. In 1877 there was diff
Guilty with the Nez Perces, costing 1915
082, and the next year 1857, 57I were
spent in the Bannock war. The conflict
with the Northern Cheyennes, in 1889,
cost 1874, 200, while the attempt in 1879
to subdue the Utes involved an expendi-
ture of 81, 1872, $50. In the same year
So, All were spent in controlling the
Sheep Eaters, and in 1881, with the
Apache difficulties not overcome, the ex-
pense reached $438, 500. The total costs
of these active attempts to control the
aborigines was S., 058, 821, but this is a
mere fraction of the cost to the Govern
ment of watching the Indian tribes that
were not travelling abroad in war-paint,
but which had to be watched to keep
them quiet.
The aggregate cost of all kinds Of
service by the United States Army west
of the Mississippi, in which part Of the
country there was no proper occupation
for the soldiers but fighting or police
duty on Indian account, was, for the last
ten years, $205, 474, 759. This has been
the cost Of troops, and does not take
into account the peace offerings, annui-
ties and other inducements to prevent
the use of the tomahawk and scalping-
knife, which have been provided at very
large expense by the Government. Dur
ing the last ten years the troops have
been distributed as follows: The num-
Der employed each year in observation or
control of Indians, has ranged from IT,
600 to q, 900, and the number otherwise
employed from 5000 to 5000. The total
force has fallen from %, 1873 in 1872 to
to Is, 1873 in 1881. The average number
used in the Indian country has been q
little more than seventy-three per cent
of the whole force. While the cost of
these troops is given at $205, 474, 759,
Adiutant General Drum decides that this
is not all the expense which can be
charged to them, and furnishes tables,
with items additional, to be charged on
appropriations for supplies, incidental
expenses, transportation, purchase of
horses, and other trifes, which make the
grand total of 1928, 1871 1854. According
to General Sherman, the army now con
sists of %, 1856 enlisted men and about
1000 officers. Of these, all the cavalry,
all the Indian scouts, twenty -four out OF
twenty-five regiments of infantry, num-
bering 1889 men, are west of the
Mississippi while the total number
east Of the Mississippi is 5,256.
His general conclusion is, without
examining the figures closely, that
four-ffths of the expenditures of
the annual appropriations had been
made on Indian account during the ten
years between 1872 and 1882. The
worst feature of the affair is that we do
not see any prospect of reduction of
expenditure on this account
