The following clipping from the So~ttern CnJJorasia Ietormaat, fits in general Southern Ariz ma and Yu- ina County ih particular:
 Eggs Sell in this market for 40 to 5C cents a dozen. There is a profitable aud healthy field of labor here for those who may wish to go into the poultry business, either on large or small scale. No other section of our country off.rs 50 favorable inducements and so many advantages for the man of small means to acquire and support comfortable honc as does Sou herll California. Here there are no long. cold winters to be provided for-every month in the year will produce som,.- thing from the soil fir the nse of mai. 1t may seem strange to the farmer up m the Stare of Mai'Ie to contemplate the possibility of cutting six crops of nay, of two tons each, from one acre "f ground, but here in Southern Cali fornia that is the usual yearly cut Other rr"ducts of the soil are as easily raised; strawberries are grown every month Tn the veal, vegetables are al ways in season, and the fish market i. well supplied by daily catch from the ocean or bays.

The Tam arind.

This tree Is indigenous in various
 parts of Africa and India, and it
 grows wild in several parts of the East Ind;sn Islands. It is hand some tree, sixty to eighty feet in
 height. l.. compound leaves of ten to twenty pairs ot smrll, oblon.. leaflets form dense foliage. The flowers are
 waite when they irst open but soon turn yellow. The fruit is an inde- hiscent lAgume, @r pod, three to six inches long, straight or somewhat curved, and with hard, brittle exte- rior shell. The seeds, from four to twelve in number, are each surround, ed by tough, pebpery membrane. outside of which, between it and the shall, there is fran, juicy, acid pulp, traversed by strong, woody fi5ers, which start from the fruit stalk. The ripeness of the fruit is known by the brittleness of the outside shell.
 In the West Irdies it's fruit is picked, deprived of its shell and pack ed in casks and boiling syrup is poured over them until the vessel is full. When cool the package IS h ad'l up and is ready for market.
 A better kind, rarely found in mar ket, is prepared by packing the shell fruit in stone jars, with alternate lay CTS of sugar.
 The pulp has brisk aciI taste, modified more or less by the amount of sugar used. IL contains tartaric, citric and other acids, and some prln- cipls not well ascertainet, which gives it laxative property. Tamarinds are used in tropical countries to pre- pare a refreshing drink by pouring boiling water over the fruit. This drink Is also used as laxative and l in levers. The wood is useful for timber and makes a fine charcoal. The shell of the seed con tains tannin, ard the kernels are used i IS food in India in times of scarcity.
 Experiments have demons trated ! ne fact that the tamarind thrives and grows as luxuriantly in Yuma county l IS anywhere in the world. The cult Ire of the tanarind Is simple and the 'eturas very remunerative.
