RAISING HOGS.
Money in the Business. and Small
 Outlay Required.

4 business which can be made lucra- tive in Arizona is the raising of hogs for market
 The valley of the Santa Cruz is pro life in the production of corn, as the many loads of the article brought to the city for disposition this fall will testify. With almost DO care but the planting it will yield 40 or 90 bushels to the acre. Parties engaged in the pursuit state that with cultivation loo bushels to the acre is easily produced. The raising of the cereal has been largely engaged in in the vicinity of Tucson. MT. Der ger, of San Xavier, raising 5000 bushels this summer, and Mir. Kenn edy, north of town also several thousand bushels. Mexicans have also made very good thing of corngrowing. The cereal now brings a cent pound in town, which of itself makes corn raising profitable, but to bring the largest and surest returns it should be turned into pork.
 Pigs can be safely and surely grown on the bottom lands, requiring no feed Ing whatever, arriving at the age for fattening, strong, and growing, and with cut cent of expense for feed.
 To fat pig six months old to bring it to the weight of 200 pounds will re- quire say 300 pounds of ear corn, from four to five pounds per day being ample feed. Ten bushels of corn will therefore fat a pig which will bring at least BIO. Corn is worth s1 per hundred pounds, leaving net profit on the pork of s7 on each pig, not including the p oft on the corn.
 AS substitute for corn sugar beets are practicable feed, and pigs are now being purchased for the purpose by Mir. Sanders, who IS connected with the Mo hawk Ranch Co.,, of Mammoth. Beets are also beneficial crop to the land, counteracting the alkali iu the soil which is so prevalent in Arizona.
 The business is a good and profitable one, and should be extensively followed.

Prescott Courier: The valleys of the Gila river, this Territory. contain excel lent land. The climate of the lower val leys in Yuma Maricopa, Pinal and Ora ham counties, is certainly semi-tropic. Frost hurts othing, because there never is much of it. We have travelled through good many of those valleys when they were thought to be useless; now they are sparsely settled and pro- duce excellent vegetables, cereals and fruits of all kinds. Indeed, some of the best oranges, lemons, lines and bananas are grown in them.
