FARMING IN ARIZONA

Those who are of the opinion that
 there are no farming lands in Arzona
 will be somewhat surprised to learn that
 lS,2S7 acres of land have been taken up
 in single county, in Tucson Land Dis
 trict during the past month. Yet that
 Is the number of acres taken up in Ma
 ricopa county in the month of April as
 appears from the books iu the United
 States Land Office at this place, and the
 probabilities are that as much more will
 be taken up during the present month
 These lands are along the Gila and Salt
 rivers, along the line of Grand Canal, and the new canal now nearly complet- ed on the Gila. There IS a probability of two more canals being constructed on the lower Gila during the present season, which will open up several thou sand acres more of as fine land as there Is in the world We predict that DO less than l50,0O0 acres of farming land will be taken up ID Arizona during the pres ent seasou-enough to make nine hun- dred and thirty-seven farms, of l6O acres each. Arizona has hitherto been looked upon by most people as coun- try good for nothing except for but that deluslon IS being rap idly dispelled. The agricultural aud pastoral resources of Arizona are sec ond to no other Territory in the UDion, with, perhaps, the exception Of Dakota, and the Indian Territory. But one acre of Arizona land will produce as much as two acres of land in any other portion of the country for the reason that it grows two crops year, a crop of wheat or barley, which ripens in May or June, then a crop of corn, beans, buckwheat pr sorghum, thus making one acre equal to two in any other Territory. Arizona is not the jumping of place" by any means, but good country to come to, and grow up with.

IKE report of the Department of Az
 riculturs for April is at hand; and while
 it contains but very little in relation to
 Arizona, and DO report from any State
 Agent, there is much information Tn 1t
 of general nature. In giving the
 average weight of beeves killed, ArizO-
 na is furnishing cattle of less weight
 than any other Territory. We are not
 aware of the extent of the Departments
 means of gathering information in re-
 lation to the weight of beef cattle in
 Arizona, but we have no doubt It is
 limited, and that at best, the figures p1t down are but little more than good
 guess. Of the Western States and
 Territories, Utah heads the list, with $50 pounds; Arizona is the lowest with 59l. while New Mexico leads us by loo pounds. While there is perhaps but little or no difference between the average weight of beef cattle in Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona, no doubt exists as to there being necessity for increasing the weight of our beef cattle l'y amelioration of blood, which may be done by careful grading up of stock and the introduction of better blood. The beef cattle of Arizona could be im- proved at least 90 per cent in five years. A calf from an American COW, is worth fully as much at two years old as calf from Sonora or Texas COW would be at three or four years old hence the importance of securing better stock for breeding purposes will be seen. ArzOna has as fine ranges as any of the western States or territories, and a eli 1 mate superior to any other. The dIs- | common to cattle in other parts of l the country are almost unknown in Ari- zona. The CITIZEN looks upon thIs Ter ritory as one of the most promising | grazing countries to be found ID the | United States. and We would urge upon | our stock men the great importance of getting better bloOded stock and imprOv ing what vre have. It costs but little, if any, more to keep a good an nal than 1t does a scrubby one, while the better blOoded ones will mature quicker than native or Sonora stock. Re that Arizona IS now rated at the bottom of the list Let us see If we cannot climb higher. We have the range and the climate let us secure the blood

A BRITISH opthalmic of some repute who recently visited this country, and, with the instinct such study naturally develops, made a particular study of American eyes, and has printed some vagrant jottIngs of his journey in a London medical periodical. Of course the professional point of view, and not the esthetlc, comes to the surface Tn every sentence. After noting that Im- perfect conjugation of the angles of vision, ostigma'ism and certain of the organic defects are less common in the United States than they are in Europe. Our critic compliments the eyes of American ladies as being the most beautiful m the world, and as possessing far wider range of color, and a larger variety of structure and setting than he has ever remarked elsewhere, not even excepting cosmopolitan Paris rDon whose thoroughfares the oriental and the Occidental. with every shade be- tween, are fully represented As the English have for sometime admitted the "queenly bearing" and style of Amer ican ladies, declaring them to surpsss the iadles of all other natlonalities in natural grace and beauty, they should, now that an English oph|almic has de- clared that they have the most beautiful eyes in the world, be satisfied. The feet Of American ladies, have not yet been discussed on the other side, but with the exception of the Chicago ladies' which the St Louis folks say "have the largest feet of any people on earth" our ladies will have no trouble to pass mus ter, and secure report from Jchnny Bull, declaring taat Americans have the most beautiful and stylish feet of any people in the world. We are afraid our ladles will now all want to go over to London to see what species of men those admiring Englishmen are.

PROP. HENRY MORTON, of Stevens h. Sttute of Technology, delivered a re- markable address, in which he showed hy. n sinTlo se...rTrauvo that sIvOCTiuit.- c5ffq4 be used as a motive power-not merely to propel street cars-but to run the most complicated kind of machinery. The energy stored in a box cubic foot large could take a car full of passengers from one end of New York to the other. It IS believed that it will not be long until electricity will come into general use as a motive power, and it is claimed that 1t will be much cheaper than steam aud that 1t can be used at many places where II Is impossible to nse steam, Ow- ing to the scarcity of wood and water, neither of which are required in the pro- ductIOn of the new motive power.
