GG.e EndiaR Rendezvous,

On Friday sCme ot the settlers on the San Pedro rivei saw thirty armed Apaches, who were supposed to be hustiles. They had committed no re cent tlepredutions, and 1t is believed they were awaiting new supplies of ammunition. There is no doubt in our mind that the almost ilnpenetra- ble Galiura mountains give protec- ton and shelter to recuperating and recruiting bands of Indians, and that they have some arrangement with allies in thit neighborhoUd tO obtain supplies of ammunition and arms. The neighborhood has become a turk ing place of the sava5rs, and from every direction it has been point of general rendezous for the separate bands. With characteristic subtle cnnnlng they approach their asylum by circuitUu5 and difficult routes, often wading up the small mountaiu streams for long distances to obliter- ate their trail Why should they select this point, as T rendezvous up- on journey apparently without q motive, unless it is to supply them selves with cartridges? They were not forced upon this long iousrey from Sonora It Was voluntary ac tion upon their part, and their econ omy of action upon their northward journey amt prodigaiity in returning may be assumed as almost conclusive evidence that their mrty belts have been replenished.
 There Is yet an unrecorded chap ter in this campaign of the most sen sational nature, and We firmly believe that the thirty atmeI Kpaches seen last Friday or the San Pedro will figure as prominent characters in it - Citizen.

Cattle naturally select a certain place in water-course to drink at, where the bank is not preci pitous. During good part of the year this bank is muddy, on account of its moisture and tramtting of the animal. .. As a result, the horses get scratches, the cows come to the milking pens with muddy tdders, and frequently animals are injured by the crowding in tie mud. Hogs are often seriously injured, because the mud becomes so deep and tough, that they are well nigh helpless ill it. Another objection is that the animals wade to the mid dle Of the creek. and soon make is bottom as muddy as the bank, and the water becomes unfit for drinking. A convenient and inexpensive ar rangement, which may be built of heavy plank, brick or fat, prevents all this. 1t is constructed by first making an incline on d level platform for the animals to stand on while drinking. This plane terminates in an abrupt descent, forming trough for the water to flow through. The trough sEould not Ge more than tw6 feet wide, that the animals may easily get across it. The level floor permits the animals to drink at their else; often a matter of importance. Such drinking place should be made at the upper end of the creek, where it passes through held to prevent the animals from soiling the water by sta 2ding in it above where they drink.-American Agriculturist for May.
