Mir. Harbert keeps them in an alfalfa enclosure. and it is notice able that they thrive on this nutri- tious clover. The hens are very pro- life laying thus far the present season three dozen eggs each. They are all healthy and thrifty, and the fact of this valley being proper place for raising this king of all birds is past the experimental stage, and is pro- nounced a success by all who have looked carefully into the matter.- PheniX Gazette.

torian as Hurbert Howe Bancroft For thirty years he has been gathering material and writing his history. He las searched every quarter of the world, expending in writing and in the publication of his work a life time of toll and million of money. Thus the information contained in 5O.OOO volumes was compressed into 39 vol umes.
 And until this volume was publish ed the results of his vast efforts and expenditures could only be purchased as whole. But such large number of our people were so anxious to ob- tain this volume separate from the full set, that the publishers finally consent ed to deviate from their former rule. and give this matchless production the widest possible circulation. This will prove of the greatest benefit to our people, and of the highest qualification to the world at large, for there are few anywhere who are not interested in our wondrous story.
 The work is deserving of the most liberal support. It should be in the hands of every man and woman throughout the land. As author and historian Mir. Bancroft is second to none living. Says the British Quar- terly Review. mo historian has more faithfully painted his heroes. both in light and shade. than Mir. Bancroft. In this he shows the rarest power, fer he preserves relations. and makes the more marked traits in the one empha- size and relieve the entrusted traits in the other" Indeed, the press every where are reviewing the work in the highest terms. The Boston Traveller. of May 13, 1889, thus closes column article: The coming States of New Mexico and Arizona are under heavy obligations to Mir.

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, q we'll known journalist in agricultural cir cles writes April Is, 1889: Some five years ago l wrote a letter stating that Swift's Specific had cured me of sc- we're rheumatism. Since that time have had no return of the rheumatic trouble. though frequently exposed 10 the influence that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience and are firm in their conviction that S. $. s. brought a permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago and has removed the last trace of it. l have also tested $. $. $. as q tonic after a severe attack of malarial fever which kept me in bed for three months. and am convinced that its curative and strengthening properties ensured my recovery from that illness, as 1 was in a very low condition of health.

An Effective Mule Invigorator.

While travelling in Virginia some time ago with doctor we came upon an old colored man who was standing by mule who was hitched to an old two-wheeled wagon.
 {" Dis mule am baked, boss" said the old man, an I'll glib a dollah to de man what can start i'm"
 "Fll do it for less than that, Uncle,' '' said the doctor. . He took his case from the carriage and selected small syringe, which he filled with morphia. He went to the side of the mule and quickly insert ing the syringe in his side pushed the contents into the animal.
 The mule reared upon his hind legs and giving an astonished bray started down the road at break-neck speed.
 The aged colored man gave look of astonishment at the doctor, and with loud "Whoa!" started after the mule.
 In the course of ten minutes we came up to the old man standing in the road waiting for us. The mule was nowhere to be seen.
 "Say, boss" said the darkey, $ how much you charge for dat stuff you put in dat mule?"
 "Oh, ten cents will do,' laughingly replied the doctor.
 "Well, boss, here is twenty cents. Squirt some of dat stuff n me. Tse got ter ketch dat ar mule."

For some years an American and Irishman roamed over the mountains and hills together but finally they separated and went their different ways. The American finally made a raise and came to Tombstone to enicy life, furnished Up his forgotten schooling and indulged in high-hown language. One day while walking along the street the old friends met, the Irishman having come to town to procure a fresh grub stake. They talked over old times for while when the American asked his friend to take drink. Going into one of our fashionable saloons on Allen street the American called for fancy drink and the Irishman followed suit.
 When it was mixed. the American, desirous of showing of. took a sip, smacked his lips, held it up to the light. and remarked:
 Pat, that's nectar fit for the gods"
 Pat was all attention, and took everything in. Shortly after ttey separated. In his ramblcs about town the Irishman met another old timer, also a native of the Emerald Isle. After talking awhile the old miner was taken with burning desire to show off his old acquaintance. and in- viting him to take a smile, they re- paired to the same saloon and order ed the same kind of drink. In imi- tation of the American. our Irishman took his glass, took sip, smacked his chops. held it up, and said:
 "Ah, Moike, that necktie is fit for Christ. ."-Epitaph.
