CULTIVATION OF THE PEACH.


Mr.. J. F. Taylor of Michigan, who
mas given great attention TO the cult
walton Of the peach, writes the Horiti
culfurist of that State five rules each
on the conditions offaiIure and suc-
cess In the cultivation of the fruit,
Failure comes from the following
causes: lt,A
L. "A wet soil, or one that from any
cause holds water around the roots of
the tree, whther the land is situated
high or low.
2. Excessive fertility while the
trees are young, whether it be secured
10 the natural conditions of the soil or
by the ingenuity of man.
y. Severe cutting back of the young
growth each year, thus dwarflng the
tree and robbing it of much natural
vitality. 4
/. Allowing trees to overbear and
thus exhaust their vitality by single
crop offruit. .tlt
8. By deficient and improper cuIti-
walton. a'df fat'
Conditions of success are stated as
fellows:
/. An elevated location that is not
subject to the late frosts in the spring
or early frosts in the fall.
2. A warm and moderately fertile
soil that is we'll drained by nature
Artificial drainage may prove success
full, but its utility has not yet been
fully demonstrated in this region.
8. Thorough cultivation. without
manure, until the trees come into
bearing, then combine the two so as to
supply all the depletion produced in
the soil by growth of trees and fruit.
4. Never let tree overbear.
8. Continue cultivation until the
close Of the dry season every simmer,
even If it continues until September.
1t should be added that the GUNNER
cultivation should be only such as to
Insure perfect surface tilth OF the
soil to assist in conserving the moisture
as much as possible.

The operation OF tracheotomy, saws
Science, by which an opening is made
with the knife into the windpipe for the
relief Of membranous Group and diphthe-
ria, seems likely to be superseded by the
intubatlon of the larynx. In this new
operation small tube is inserted through
the mouth into the windpipe and all ne
cessity for cutting operation is thus
avoided. 1t is claimed by the advocates
of this method of treatment that it is far
easier to introduce this tube than to per-
form tracheotomy, and that more lives
are saved than by the old operation. The
statistics which are given in the medical
journals 20 far to confirm their opinions,
and as the process 10 being generally in
troduced, but little time will be necessa-
ry to substantiate the claims made for it,

The Tres Alnmos Grant.
TRES ALAMoS, A. T., Feb. Il

TRES ALAMos, A. T., Feb. nth. EDITOR EPITAPH:
 At Tres Alamos yesterday, the settlers held a meeting, to discuss the best plan and to devise ways and means for oppos- ing the confirmation by congress of the Tres Alamos grant.
 Mir. Frank J. Heney and Col, Lewis each explained the present status of af- fairs in regard to the above and several other grants; and Mir. Heney clearly ex- posed the flimsy evidence upon which the grant was recommended by Survey or-General Robbins. The inference of fraud is irresistible.
 The meeting agreed to take immediate action, and fund was at once subscribed to defray the expense of securing proper facts, together with a petition to be pre- sented to congress. The meeting further agreed to intrust Mir. Heney with full charge of the matter, as we'll as with the control and disbursements of the fund.

The Old School House.

If the board of school trustees, now that the "tax" is settled, have sufficient time, it would become them to visit the old school house, corner of Fulton and Fourth streets. It would be well for them to time .their visit when the boys are holding one of their matinees.
 The board exerted much love and af- lection for the old house at one time, and it now becomes them to take some interest therein. Being the custodians of the house they are certainly inficting a nuisance upon the residents of the neighborhood by abandoning it to half grown boys as place of rendezvous.
 Gentlemen, return to your old love the old, old "school house."
 No TAX.

The Killing of Crawl ford.

Dr. Moore came up from Sonora yes terday. The doctor was a personal friend of the late Captain Crawford. He was at Bavispe when Crawford was shot and at once rode over to Nacori, when he heard of the sad event. Speak ing of the attack by the Mexicans, he says they were from Chihuahua and mostly half breed Indians. Had they been from Sonora, the result would have been different, as Crawford was very popular in the latter state. Crawford approached the Mexican force, holding up his hands and shouting that his men were Americans. As he was doing this, the lieutenant in command of the Mexi- cans fired and shot him. Dutchy then at once picked up gun and shot the lieutenant. These the doctor says were the only shots fired in the encounter, other reports to the contrary notwi!h- standing.

TOMBSTONE, Feb. I2. I8S

TOMBSTONE, r CD. I2, looo. EDITOR EPITAPH: In looking over the scales of prices in your paper this morning, as laid down by our worthy board of school trustees, one is struck at the extreme rates.
 Is it worth more to teach seventeen scholars than fifty? Yet the salary of principal is placed at SIoo, which the primary grade is but S7o. Why not pay all teachers alike according to the num- Der ofpupils they instruct, or if any dis elimination is 10 be made, let those who lead the pupils to the higher walk of knowledge, receive their extra pay, lin the bright hereafter"
 What the people want is instruction in the three "Rs" readin, ritin, and rithme- tic.

Scene Allen street, near Fourth, time, 9 o'clock. A tall, portly individual ap- preached the timid EpITAPH man and with flashing eyes and tones of thun- der demanded, "Who 'rlt' that article in the EPITAPH about me" The timid individual plead ignorance ofthe article mentioned, and, seeing that trouble was brewing, tried to quietly slide away. Here, the irate cuss seeing the EpI- TAPH fellow endeavoring to slide away, became manageable and grabbed the afore mentioned newspaper fend by the hair and began to do him up", nut terlng aloud, "You d-m william, you, will malign me in your devilish paper, will you" There was pause in the proceedings. Something had dropped and lay quiet, seemingly, with no fur ther desire to annihilate the timid indi- vidual, who, seeing what had been done, crawled under the sidewalk to escape being lynched. N. B. Ifthere is any one principle, we'll and firmly estab- liehed, it is that newspaper man will fight when cornered.
