Fact. Ahout Seeds. 5

Many seedsmen assert that the stocks they offer are simply infallible this is mischievous. It Is true that nearly all the popular seeds of the day are excellent under favorable con ditions. It is equally true, however, that with few exceptions, the best of them arc often used in localities to which they are in no degree adapted. The experiment stations are now GO- ing much to determine the habits and characteristics of commercial seeds and plants. A prominent institution Of this kind is the Station" under the supervision of the Sterling Syrup Works, st Sterling, Kansas. So ex- tended, systematic and faithful are the tests made at these grounds, that re- ports of all the more important work will be published from time to time by the National Government. Refer ferring to seed tests of the past season the "Station" writes the Lewiston Seed Company, Lewiston, Idaho :-"You kindly sent us trial packages of vege- table seeds last spring. We planted them with seeds received from eastern growers and were pleased with the "West-Test" seeds. In growing plants two things seem to be entirely proven. The first is that specialists who grow seeds only, who improve the plants by selection and by hybridizing and by importing new kinds, who make a careful study of the plants, produce very much better seeds than those who grow the plants and save the seeds for their own use. Expert seeds men ill the last few years have improv- ed plants more than inexpert plant growers had done in hundred years. The second point Is that many plants when removed to new conditions oi soil and climate require to be acclimat- ed and 1t takes some seasons to do this. Seeds grown on the Gulf coast where rainfall is excessive and where growing seasons are long and warm, and seeds grown in the humid air oi the seaboard states where there are frequent rains and fogs and mists and dews, do not at first succeed well when suddenly transplanted to the dry air of the interior of this great continent
 "The man who buys seeds from re- liable and skilled seedsmen, who grow the seeds under conditions of soil and climate, which are not essentially diff ferent from his conditions of soil and climate, will produce better plants and receive greater reward for his trouble than one who is each year beginning anew to acclimate seeds which have been grown under very different con ditions. With these points in view we regard the "West-Test" seeds grown in the interior of the continent by experienced seed growers, as much the more useful seeds for those living in the dry climate of the western states" Yours truly

Orange Land of Southern California.
 [Phenix Gazette

The following letter is from Walter J. Hughes, one of Los Angeles promi- nent lawyers, to his father in Phenix, and is substantial proof of the wonder ful profit there is in the cultivation of the orange. The gentleman writes as follows:
 "I was at Riverside one day last week, and I think that one who has not seen Riverside has not seen South ern California. Everything there looks prosperous and the people are happy. The hotel had but one vacant room, so it seems they have plenty of visitors.
 The orange crop is for the most part still on the trees. In fact, the growers arc just now selling, and l learned of some remarkable yields, for instance, the Crawford brothers sold their crop of seedlings (l0 years since planted) for $600 per acre on 20 acres. The budded fruit brings much larger returns.
 heard of one orchard of five-year- old trees that brought $750 per acre, and that was given as the least price for any of the Washington navels. The cost of attending, cultivating and ir- rigsting an orchard for one year runs from $25 to BPS per acre.
 The whole of the country about Riverside now is enchanting, the place is beautifully kept and now that the fruit is on the trees I have never seen anything more beautiful.
 I think the market value of the land with water, such as that about River side, has not yet been established, and until it is established there will neces- sarily be many fluctuations.
 1 must add that returning from Riverside, by the Santa Fe road, l noticed many orchards of oranges just planted. The area Of watered country east of Riverside has been much in creased and very much of it is planted
 About Rialto, North Ontario and Cucumongo much new land has been planted. The largest orange orchard in the world planted last year neal North Pomona is looking well. All this new country devoted to orange production will make a beneficial change in the present condition. WALTER J. HUGHES"

Atte mpts at Arson.

Two attempts were made this week to burn the court house, or at least the District Attorneys office, but they were both unsuccessful. On Wednes
 day morning when H. V. Jackson, Esq, reached the office he found the smouldering remains of . lot of kind ling wood just outside the fireplace, on the floor, and he easily insuish- ed them with . bucket of water. Ex- ira precautions were taken that night to prevent an accidental fire as this was supposed to have been, but on Thursday morning the attempt was repeated and quite hole was burned in the floor. Access into the room was gained through a rear window when the night-latch of the back door wac sprung and 2 quantity of kind lings with leaves and paper was brought in and set on fire, probably soon after daylight. Mir. Jackson's 5 suspicious on the previous day impelled him to re- pair to the office earlier upon the morning in question, and he found the kindlings still burning There is no clue to the perpetrator of the clumsy attempts at arson and con
 lectures differ ss to the motive, wheth
 CT it be \ personal grudge against the District Attorney or a desire to burn the court house.

AHorO.c.p. of she Great West.

Sunset Cox in his recent speech fav- bring the admission of the territories, said that western America is the most interesting subject of study which the modern world has seen. Its territor- ies, resources and climate; it's variety of production, such AS mountains of minerals, forests of trees of fabulous height. appliances of modern science and other phenomena, make western America to the eye of this observer, without precedent in history. He says that it may not rscur elsewhere because our planet contains no such other tract of country. He lays most stress upon the character and temper of the msn of this region. West Is to him the most American part of Amer ica. Here those features which dis tinguish America from Europe come out in the strongest relief. He ex- claims:
 What Europe Is to Asia, what Eng laad IS to the rest of Europe, what Amsrics IS to Europe ,nd England that tic wsstern states and territories are to the Atlantic states. The heat and pressure and hurry of life, always growing, is that following the path of | the sun."
 He sees what we are very prone to | forget, that in eastern America there are still quiet spots in the valleys of the Allesaanies, in the hooks of old New Englaad, and in eur university towns, which doubtless have reminded him of some places in England and Europe, as they have reminded me of places in tks Orient. But in the west there is none. All is hustle, motion and struggle, more so, of course, among the native Americans. Yet even the American from the secluded valleys oi Bohemis or the shores of some Nor wegisn ford learns the ways almost as readily as the tongue of the coun- try, and is soon swept into the whirl povl. This is the frontier spirit, with its psssIonate eagerness and strenuous effort. It would extract the greatest amount of value from mining hills territories and fields, and with pas sion 30 absorbing as to be unselfish It makes, from its very vastness, g twings of ideality. It makes route, for exchangeable commodities with 8 rapidity which seeks market will one hand and throttles 8 monopol, with the other.
 He sees these remarkable people in toxicated by the majestic scale of ma ture in which their lot is cast. Their imagination revels in every sight They gild their own struggles with thu belief that they are the missionaries O civilization and the instruments o Providence in the greatest work the world has ever seen. They live in tn, future rather than the present, no that they fail to work while it is callec day, but they see the country no merely as it is, but as it will be twen ty, fifty or one hundred years hence when the seedlings shall have growl to forest trees.
 Before this all-pervading spirit, gov ernments become mere incidents il the race of advancement, and they vii use government as they use blows and saw-mills and ore-crushers and lo comotiyes, and when they come t. congress in the robes of statehoo they little reck what party ha , made the robes or embroidered then with land largeness for school, polit . cal franchises for men, decent dome: ticates for women, and liberty and in dependence for all.

An exchange says: The best stores always advertise. This can be relied upon. The advertisement indicates that the merchant has goods that he is not ashamed of, in fact that he is proud of the quality and quantity of his stock, and has confidence in their ability to bear examination. It also indicates that he wants to dispose of what he has, and will, therefore, ac- commoda:e customers to achieve his purpose. It also shows polite dealer who studies the convenience of his customers and means business all the time.

From the San Pedro.

Mr. Henry Schoshusen and Mir. H. L. Swingle were in the city to-day from the San Pedro. They live two miles from Dudieyville and brought in four tons of silver ore from the saddle Mountain mining district for shipment to Eastern reduction works. Every thing is reported to be in tiourishing condition on the San Pedro, and cattle are looking better than ever before at this season of the year.
 Several new ranches are being opened up and much new land pre- pared for cultivation. Mir. O'Dell Is preparing to cultivate quite an amount Of new land the coming season. and Mir. Land, living near Aravaips, will add largely to his acreage this spring.
 It is reported that the Sample mine. owned by the San Pedro Mining Com psny aad located in the Saddle Noun tain district, is to be started up soon. When this is done it will probably lead to the working of other good mines in the vicinity that are now abandoned.
 Mir. Simon Bauerly has some rich ore ready for shipment and 1t will be hauled here next week.
 The San Pedro river has been or several ''booms" recently, but no ser ious damage has been reported Several times the river WAS unford<ble for two or three days, very unusual occurrence.
 Messrs. Schoshusen and Swingle both own good-sized cattle ranches ant are substantial citizens.-Citizen.

MT. John Sullivan, of Casa Grande, who recently sold nine hundred feet of the North Star claim to MT. J. c. Loss for tho Central Silver mining company, is about to start up work on his Ada claim lying parallel with the North Star on the south. The Ada carries the main ledge, running east and west, for distance of d thous- and feet, when it passes into the North Star and runs five hundred feet. The latter is most excellent property and the Central Silver Company is to be congratulated on its purchase. The Ada is, if anything, even better than the North Star, and it promises to become ane of the leading properties. It carries a good grade of carbonate ore that will work easily in the smelter. Mr. Sullivan recognizes the fact that he owns an excellent property al- though he does not expect to place & fancy price on it when he is ready to sell.

The following from the Los Angeles Tribune applys with equal force 10 central Arizona, and carries out the ideas but recently expressed in this paper. Pursuing the line of thought indicated in these columns, Sunday morning brings the reader face to face with an extremely ugly fact. If south ern California does not produce enough fruit, grain vegetables and other articles to supply her own de- mands, the balance of trade will re- main against her. Our winter pop ulation will leave money with us, which we will expend in the summer. The worst of this is that we shall ex- pend it without our own borders. In other words we shall send east after table necessities with which to satisfy our eastern visitors, paying enormous prices for what ought to be grown in our own territory. This might not be SO objectionable but for the fur ther fact that after our eastern friends have returned to their eastern homes we shall continue to purchase supplies from the same source. The profits they have left with us are entirely dis sipated before they return amongst us.
 There is but one way to check this evil. We must turn our attention to our own resources. If we could be certain of a profitable tourist business every year, we should still be unwise not to protect ourselves against the stress of the summer, when we are practically without visitors. Our fertile valleys and foothills can give competency and comfort to thousands. Our land owners arc now satisfied with farm prices They are through laying out townsites. They offer to sell these lands to actual cultivators at reasonable figures on easy terms or to lease them for term of years. They will be rapidly taken up and oc- cupied.
 Meanwhile, our citizens must over come this idea, that there is nothing profitable except sales of real estate and entertainment of tourists. We should see 10 1t that as many acres as possible are seeded to grain, set to fruit and sown with alfalfa. We should have more fowls, more COWS, more hogs, more beeves. They are all profitable to the individual and essen tial 10 the development of the coun try. The necessity of manufacturing enterprises is not lessened by these facts, but the first thing this country must do is to develop her natural re sources. The easiest development liei in making our soil productive. Once we have brought this into 2 proper state of cultivation, the other sources from which our wealth will come fol low as a natural consequence"
