never to surrender the whole farm to any one crop. Long since,the theo- " and practice of farming has dem - onstrated that more money is 10 be made in variety of crops than by the cultivation of any one crop. At any rate it is a business proposition to raise such crops as will yield the greatest net income per acre. If we can make five or six times as much clear money from fruit, sugar, cot ton and the like, It stands to reason that we should leave grain raising to those sections cf country that cannot produce better paying crops. Or in sufficient for our own use is all that we can afford to raise so soon as our lands can be put to use in the pro- duction of cotton. fruit and sugar each or any one of which will bring to the rancher more ready cash per acre than ten tines the amount oi wheat or barley.

Power Of the Emagina tion.

That imagination may prove fatal receives fresh proof from ia case of fatal shock from supposed snake bite," reported recently in the Medi> cal Press by Dr. c. R. Francis. The patient, awakened from his sleep by something creeping over his naked legs, immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was a crobra, went into state of collapse and died, though it was discovered, even be> fore death, that the supposed cobra was harmless lizard. There is no doubt but that very large portion of the sickness and death of adults might be wsrded of by proper and determined exercise of the will pow CT. Haps Journal of Health, in dwelling upon thIs subject, remarks as follows: To regain or recover health, persons should be relieved from all anxiety concerning diseas~ es. The mind has power over the body For Q person to think he has a disease will often produce that disease. This we see effected when the mind is intensely concentrated upon the disease of another. It is found in the hospital that surgeons and physicians who make special- ty of certain diseases are liable to die of it themselves, and the mental power is so great that sometimes people die of diseases which they only have in imagination. We have seen a person seasick in anti cipation of voyage before reaching the vessel. We have known a per son to die of cancer in the stomach when he had no cancer or any other mortal disease. A blindfolded man slightly pricked in the arm, has tainted and died from believing that he was bleeding to death. There> fore, we'll persons, to remain well, should be cheerful and happy, and sick persons should have their atten- tion drawn as much as possible from themselves. It is by their faith men are saved, and it is by their faith that men die. If he wills not to die, he can often live in spite of disease, and If he has little or no attachment for life, he will slip away as easily as child will fall asleep. Men live by their souls and no: by their bodies. Their bodies have no life by themseves; they are only res kpurces of life-tenements of thelr
 s. The will has much to do in
 1uing the physical occupancy
 flng it up.

Arizona Minerals.

One of the most complete exhibits shown at the Chicago Exposition is that which represents the mineral resources of Arizona, under the charge of Messrs. Murphy and Gray, who are thoroughly devoted 10 their business and deserve credit for the able manner in which they present the many advantages of Arizona as mineral bearing territory.
 This representative co o.lectien of mineral is in every respect the finest display of the kind ever presented in Chicago. and is attracting atten . ton from class of people who will doubtless manifest their interest in a practical manner.
 These carefully selected specimens of ore represent seventy five districts and over eight thousands different mines, and will do more to present the attractive features and substan- iial character of the mineral wealth of Arizona Territory than any nov cment that has been inaugurated The advantage of this step has al- ready been recognized, and recent number of tue Trddesman, of Chat tanooga, Tenn ., comments the pro- ject as one admirably fitte to ac- complish the object desired.-Ain' lnd RerieSc.

THE cultivation of cotton is an in- dustry which ought to ind an im- portant place in the industries of the Salt Riyor valley. Our soil and eli mate are finely adapted to it's pro- duction. In Georgia it Is success fully produced at much higher lati> tudes than ours which is about g degrees north, and in California is successfully grown in the Mcrced valley in latitude 37 degrees north It ought to be even more success fully cultivated in tine Salt River | and Glla valleys than in the South ern states where no system of irriga- tion is in use and Where drought not infrequently cuts short the crop or entirely destroys it and where late and early frosts leave much small- CT portion of the summer free from their blighting influence.
 AS to the cost, products, and prof , its of cotton growing there is wide difference in different sections of the cotton growing belt owing to the condition of the land, manner of cultivation etc. On the worn out lands of the old slave states the
 average yield is about 150 pounds of lint per acre while on lands that are highly cultivated or new as much as 2,0O0 pounds per acre has been pro- duced. Under existing coaditi ms here we might reasonably expect to have lint proeuct of 1000 pounds 90 the acre which at the average price would be worth $50 which would leave clear profit of $50 per acre counting hired help, interest on money invested in teams, utensils and laHd, according to a large num> Der of estimates before us made by practical cotton growers who make the average cost per pound about ten cents including all items we have mentioned.
 As to market we have one which we can command, one that is much nearer to us than Massachusetts or New Hampshire are to Alab1m1 and Georgia; we refer tho extensive mills that will soon be put up and which are now under way on the east side of San Francisco Bay south east of Oakland where a company which has put $600,O00 into the enterprise have purchased an exten- sive trnct of land along the railroad This company proposes to draw their supply of cotton from Texas so far as they shall need more cotto n than can be proc ured in California. If Arizona can come into the market with a cotton product she will be nearer this new cotton market than any other cotton producing region outside of California, and would doubtless find an eager demand for all she might produce for she ought to put cotton into the San Francisco market at less cost than any point south and east of us. Our legisla- ture last winter offered premium to Salt River valley farmers for the production of cotton and we under stand some of them have planted small crops but we have not yet learned the result as to yield, cost etc.
