TnE development of a sufficient vol
 ume of water for purposes ot irrigation
 is the only obstacle Co the complete transformation Ut tho barren md aqpar- ently worthless lands Of southern Ari- zona into e garden whose beaUtg md o1- huberRut productiYencss will be the marvel of the times. The broad mesa lands possess all the requisite elements of soIl and location Co bloom Bt the com mand of mankind, SO soon as the Indis- pensable water Is provided. It has been fully demonstrated that an abundance of water exists in our mountains and that our valleys ara lined with subter- ranean channels carrying down to tue sea vast currents of the precious Lu!i. The Secretary oi tLe Interior has rec commended that Congress appropriate o sufficient sum of money to test the pr6cticability of obtainiug ar- tesian water m this Territory, but though his views be fayorGbiy considered by that body, It will be q long time be- fore the experiment can be made. The field presents the most iiatttgInS induce ments for individual or cooperative eu- terprise in this direction, and a success ful solution of the question will br!ng almost unlimited wealth % the projec- tors. Our soil excels that of southern California not only in its superior pro ductIveness, but III the early ripeniug of its products. Our seasons are from month to six weeks in advance of south- ern California, and our products can find a profitable market before the season opens in California. The future for southern Arizona is very promising through even this resource alone, for water will surely become developed by some means, and from that time the way to prosperity IS a simple and speedy one.

COTTON SEED.
An Experiment in Cattle Feeding OF Great
Interest to Southern Farmers.

An Experiment in Cattle Feeding of Great
Interest to Southern Farmers.
Prof. F. A. Gulley, of Mississippi,
has been conducting series of expert
ments in cattle feeding that ought to
be worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of that State. Probably nc
product of the Southern farm has been
rated as low as cotton Sc ed. Years
ago it was actually thrown away,
dumped into the rivers to get rid of it.
Every farmer and planter in the cotton
belt knows that cattle will eat cotton
seed, yet few appreciate the real value
of the total seed crop. Prof Gulley's
experiments were conducted with q
view to finding out something of the
real value of this seed as compared
with corn and other feeding stutfs.
Two ordinary steers in poor condition
were housed and carefully fed all the
we'll boiled cotton seed and hay they
would eat. No other fed but oat straw
was G Fen. These steers were fed for
hfty-six and forty-nine days respec-
lively. The average gain per day was
4.64 and 4.89 pounds. Cotton seed was
worth thirty cents per hundred
pounds, and hay, ten dollars per ton.
The average daily ration was
about fourteen pounds of cotton and
eleven pounds of hay. The gain in
weight cost two cents per pound.
Two other lots of steers were fed tc
determine the comparative feeding
values of cotton seed and cotton-seed
meal. Silage and hay were fed with
the seed and meal. Five steers fed on
sotton seed gained 672 pounds at an
average cost of 2.1S cents per pound
-Four steers fed on cotton-seed meal
gained 635 pounds at cost of 3.22
cents per pound. The entire profit of
the experiment. allowing manure to
balance labor, was $40. 40 These ex-
periments ought to provide much flood
tor reflection for Southern farmers.
They certainly show that stock grow
ing and feeding, added to the cotton
planting, will enable the farmer nearly
topay the cost of growing his crop from
product that is considered of small
value. The introduction of this branch
of husbandry will necessitate the build
ing of sheds or stables and other com
forts for stock. AT present, during the
WRITER or rainy season, the Southern
planter is obliged to remain idle, while
his expenses go on as usual Stock
feeding will provide employment for
his workmen and produce a supply OF
much needed manure. 1t looks az
though the real value of the cotton
plant had not been discovered vet 1t
is possible u at cotton will come nearer
to the throne than it ever has before

HUMOROUS ELEPHANTS.
How Their Greed Was Changed Into Com
p}cte Subtraction.


A Young friend asked me once to
show him some elephants in undress,
and / took him along with me. having
first borrowed au apron and filled il
with oranges. This he was to carry
while accompanying me in the stable,
but the moment we reached the door
the herd set up such n trumpeting-
they bad scented the fruit-that he
dropped the apron and contents and
scuttled off like scared rabbit. There
were eight elephants, and when picked
up the oranges i found l had twenty
five. / walked deliberately along the
line, giving one to each. When / got
to the extremity of the narrow stable
| turned and was about to begin the
distribution again. when ! suddenly
reflected that if elephant No. in the
row saw me give two oranges in sue
cession to No. 8 he might imagine he
was being cheated. and give me n
smack with his proboscis-thati is where
the elephants falls short of the human
being-sO went to the door and began
de zoco as before.
Thrice / went along the line. and
then l was in fix. l had one orange
left. and l had to get back to the door.
Every elephant in the herd had his
greedy gaze focused on that orange.
1t was as much as my life was worth
to give it to any one of them. Wha,
was i to do9 l held it up conspicu-
ously, coolly peeled it, and sucked it
myself. 1t was most amusing to no.
tice the way those elephants nudged
each other and shook their ponderous
sides. They thoroughly entered into
the humor of the thing. from,
