Along almost the whole length of
the main canal and its branches
every few miles, and in many places
every few rods, there are salt as
we'll as fresh water springs. In
other portions water is found very
near the surface. 1t will be sew
eral years before these canals will
be as dry as they were in "89,"
and yet there was water enough,
and at points near enough to each
other, so that two large herds of
cattle, one of $50 and one of some
500 head, crossed over the desert
in safety.
There can be no doubt that when
this canal system is once filled with
water, that it will have great in
Auence over our climate, modifying
the heat and causing the precipita-
ton of moisture to a wonderful de-
gree. There is probably not an
other such work Of nature in the
world, so completely made and SO
we'll arranged for the development
of the country in which they are
found, land it a question also whether
there is another such tract Of land,
so level, rich, fertile and so well
located for settlement.

The Great Natural Canal Sys-
Senr Of Lower California.

The Colorado river received its
name Colorado" the Spanish
word for cred" from the fact that
1t runs red with mud, or red clay
From whence it comes, no one
knows, Grand river is q fne clear
mountain stream filled with trout.
1t has its source in the great back
bone mountain divide of Colorado.
Grand river, its partner, rises in
the summit of the Rock mountains,
away to the north of Fremont's
Peak, and within few feet Of the
headwaters of the Yellowstone,
Missouri, and Columbia rivers, you
can drink from each, of the head
waters of these four streams, with
an FIVE minutes. Green river runs
clear as crystal, until it enters the
great Canon Of the Colorado, at
the point where the Grand and the
Green unite and form the Colorado
both are clear crystal like streams.
when the Colorado reaches Yuma
$50 miles below it is thick, tur-
bid, muddy, red, dirty looking
stream-carrying from J to 10 per
cent of sediment in its current,
varying as the height of the food
garies, as it comes from the ella,
Salt river, Little Colorado or down
the Colorado itself When pumped
into the reservoir and settled no
better or healthier water can be
found, than this same turbid water
of the Colorado. So say the analy-
teal chemists who have tried their
skill on directing its contents.
The Colorado runs wild to the
Lerdo Colony, so miles below Yu-
ma, where it meets the tide from
the sea. And here the tide calls a
halt, twice in every twenty-four
hours and says to the muddy water
of the upper country, no matter
whether they come from Mormon
Utah, tae Little Colorado, or upper
Arizona, "stop and wait, until the
salt water of the Pacific, settles
you," and yet on, and into the
Gulf, of the cloudy waters make
their way.
But ENOUGH OF THE COLORADO RIVER.
Ninety miles below Yuma, by
the course of the river, and just
before you enter the great Horse
Shoe Bend, which is really the
opening of the mouth of the Colo
RADIO, there enters on the west side,
a stream of water, at times grand,
brave, and muddy, and again,
small, clear and gentle, This is
generally known as Hardy's Colo
RADIO. Why? No one can tell,
5ut some say, that when General
Hardy came up the Colorado as he
made mistake and took this, for
she Colorado, as he thought that it
contained more water than the

Transplanting Palmetto Trees.
Mariana, Fla.

In your paper of a few weeks ago | saw
question asked as to how to transplant
palmetto trees and make them grow,
and also saw the answer. Having had
several years experience in transplanting
these trees | will give your readers the
benefit of it.
Two years ago last spring | helped set
out forty-five OF these trees; they were
set out in April. The roots were cut as
close as possible to the tree without
breaking the new one. Then we cut off
the top leaving none on at all, but one
must be very careful in doing this and
not hurt the bud. We set them in the
ground one foot and a half deeper than
they originally stood. The trees were
from eight to fifteen feet high; the eight
feet ones are the best. The most import
ant thing is to pack the dirt tight around
them and give them plenty of water fora
long time. We have large flowing well
in the yard and on an average of six
buckets of water were put on q day for
six months. We are the only ones
around here who have made q success of
transplanting the palmetto trees; we
saved forty out of forty-fve trees, and
they are all looking we'll now.
In selecting your trees do not take any
that have no bootjacks (so-called) down
to the ground, as they are not SO good

A Letter From the Mican0py Sage.

Mr.. HlCNaru WAS TlSuU Ill Stty lLS WHcH
we plant an orange tree the roots are
cut, and the limbs must be reduced in
proportion to the loss of the roots"
Right here he should have added eff we
wish to reap further benefit from the
shears, let us plant them also in the hole
with the tree" But further on, to sus-
tain the principle he says that because
he cuts with his pillow some OF the fibrous
roots of the tree, it must submit to a
little trimming and for that purpose
select the little twigs that grow
along the limbs, and on the inner
part Of the top or branches OF
the tree. Now, as we do not
know what limbs these cut roots were
furnishing food for, [, of course, will set
aside the theory that certain TO cts have
a separate and distinct part OF the tree
to support, and will rely on general prin-
those little twigs. He intimates that
why he selects those twigs for TIE sacri-
flee is that they are dormant, inactive,
unfruitful, etc. Beside the leaves of the
same form wild forest, hiding place for
insects, dust, etc. Tenyears agOI looked
at this matter as he does now, and trim
med some fifty trees from the ground up,
those trees we're then nine years old, and
had put on their first, and, of course,
scattering blooms. The year before
this, set out one hundred and forty
tree, two years old seedlings, by the side
of those trimmed. From them on the
whole had the same showing in every re-
spect, except the rubbing of the sprouts
from fifty ] had trimmed. [ continued
this rubbing of the sprouts for about
year. By that time the fungus, which
had SO kindly come to my assistance as
sumed the entire control of keeping them
down, which it did admirably.
By the time my trees got to bearing
more than my family could consume and
had some to ship, got more oranges
from my young trees than | did from the
older ones, and by the time my young
trees were ten years old they bore an av-
erage amount per tree with the old trees.
The freeze of 1886 killed some Of my old
trees, and cut all of them back about
half way to the ground. My younger
trees were not hurt and made full crop
that year. Some of my friends advised
me to cut out all the dead branches down
into the live wood, thereby assisting
nature in repairing the damage caused by
the cold. But fortunatel 2 for me Hooked
at it this way. | could not ascertain the
extent of the damage done before nature
sent her restoratives, and then to cut off
all the dead wood down into the green
wood, thereby creating new wounds, was
too utterly void of reason for me to un-
dertake. Besides soon saw sprouts COM

ground up, the foliage OF which soon

| was to see it's familiar face upon my re-
turn! | had left injunctions that my pa
pers were to he preserved for me in my
absence, but, alas only two were forth
coming. 1t has been long time since [
have written anything for it's columns,
not for lack of interest, but in the early
months the outlook was so discOuraging,
and farmers seemed so "down in the
MOUTH about the crops on account of
the drouth, that | did not like to write
about it. After the rains in June the
prospects for corn crop frightened so
that the price went down the first week in
July from rs to SO cents per bushel The
oat crop was nearly ruined, first by
drouth and then by rain when being har-
vested. The cotton crop seems pretty
fair. if not injured now by heavy rains.
We have had one to-day that would beat
out nearly bale of cotton to any five
acres in the county.
For the first time in the memOry of that
wonderful personage-the Oldest inhabi-
tant-the fig crop failed. The trees were
taking On young fruit at the time Of the
March freeze. OF course all that was
lost. but the leaves all dropped, too, and
left the trees perfectly bare. 1t was ex-
pected of them to put on another dress of
green and a full crop of fruit, and mature
it, as civilized trees ought to do; but they
did not behave in any such rational way.
They took On the leaves and started the
fruit, but utterly refused to mature it
properly. [ left here the early part of
July for your neighboring cOunty-Put-
nam-so was not here to see; but my son
tells me that my own six or seven large
trees that have always borne i'm
mense crops did not mature q plateful at
a time, and the rest were hard and unfit
for any use. Even the everbearing Green
Ischia has no fruit, and the trees look as
if fire had been all around them. The
pear crop was very short. My own was
a failure. The trees were pretty well ad-
vanced in the top blossoms when the cold
struck them, and only the lower limbs
bloomed afterwards. Instead forty or
fifty bushels only had eight bushels of
marketable pears. [ do not know
whether the yield was so meagcr On other
places or not. I think one reason my
own figs and pears did so poorly, was
lack of cultivation For the first time in
my life my orchard and garden have not
been planted to any thing but an early
crop of oats for the chickens, and as the
oats were not permitted to show the
second blade. I planted corn and it
shared the same tate, SO gave it up to
the chickens as | have no family to use

truth if | say they we're from eight to ten
feet high, and so thick one could not
make his way through them. Ihave had
them cut and they cover the ground,
