CHIHUAHUA.
The etate of Chihuahua 10 the largest ana
is the most northern state OF the republic
of Mexico. IL has an area OF 40 OCo square
miles, and occupies an elevated plateau
whose average altitude above the sea is
about 000 feet. Its climate IS surprise
III. 80 win
breeze relieves the summer heat, which sell
dom exceeds ninety degrees, che nights are
never sultry and the winters are short and
mild Rains fall throughout the year, but
are chiefly confined TO what is known as
the rainy sesson-August, September and
c. toSer. There is no day, winter. or
summer, when outdoor work cannot be
done With comfort. There is no more
healthful locality anywhere. Epidemics
are unknown. While mountainous
state, the valleys are exceedingly fertile. In
the middle, eastern and southern parts OF
the state irrigation is necessary;
In the western but few places need irriga'
ton. The Mexican Central railroad run
ming from the north 10 the south OF the
state has demonstrated all along its line
that an abundance Of water can be reached
Mt a depth OF from thirty to one hundred
feet The native grass is rich, nutritious,
and green the entire year. Cattle are free
from disease readily becoming acclimaleu
and require 20 feeding at any season oil the
year. Its adsptability for stock raising
cannot be surpassed. Corn, wheat, al
grains and vegetables grow lnxuriously.
Peaches. grapes, ounces. pomegranates,
temperate and semi-tropical fruits OF every
variety grow TO remarkable size. ii sorts
OF produce command good figures. Lands
are cheap-from ten cents to ten dollars per
acre.
Farming Is done with the rudest imple-
ments and in the most imperfect manner.
Skill and modern implements OF agricul-
ture would give an enormous return. The
high price Of produce and case OF raising 1t
m axe this the most profitable field for the
farmer.
