Hints from the Greatest Poultry
Country.

The Chinese prize the droppings Of fowls
as the best of manure, carefully collecting
those of the geese, ducks, chickens and
pigeons. Goose-duag brings very high
prices, says Frank G. Carpenter in the
American AgriculturiSt. In the use of
such material they often dilute with water,
and they manure the plants rather than the
earth, squirting the liquid article out Of
watering pots at the roots of the plants.
They have many ingenious methods to
save their fowls from being caught by the
hawks. The pigeons in North China have
tied to their tails whistles which make
whiring noise as they fly through the air and
which brighten hawks away. l was for
long time at loss to know what this sound
was. heard it many times day in every
city of North China. The goose-nerder
protects his charge in much the same way.
He has a sort of bamboo whistle or tube
fastened to the end of rope-whip which he
swings from time TO time around his head
to scare away the hawks. Inasmuch as
some of the goose-herds number as many as
thousand birds, and as the hawks are
numerous and bold, it will be seen that this
is not an unnecessary precautlon.
The Chinese are very fond of eggs, but
they never eat them soft boiled, and they
believe that an egg grows better with age.
Preserved eggs are one of the dainties of
China, and it takes forty days to pickle
them for use. The eggs are covered with
mixture of tea-leaves. lime, salt, and wood
ashes, made into paste, and are then packed
away in wood-ashes, which, all over China,
are sold to the egg-packers for this purpose.
The older an egg grows after packing the
better it is supposed to be. There are
methods of picking which turn the eggs as
black as jet. In some cases, they are stepped
ip water In which the leaves of fir or cedar
trees have been boiled. The Chinese also
nickle eggs in salt water, and they regard
these sailed eggs as good for medicinal pur-
noses. They have certain festivals at
which they give presents of hard-boiled'
dyed eggs, and when child IS born the
family and friends celebrate the event by
feast of dyed eggs. All told, the egg-indus-
try of China gives employment to many
thousand people, and forms one of the in'-
portant specialties of this very busy ma

WE cordially approve the follow ing suggestions which are clipped from the Tucson Star: The sugges- ton that the territorial convention nominate candidates for all territo- rial offices and submit the same for a popular expression of the will of the people at the polls. is worth considering by the territorial con- vention. The present system is very unsatisfactory, as the govern ors, generally appointed by the Washington government to rule over us, as a rule, are impecunious political tramps, who dispose of their important offices more after the fashion of a Cheap John" shoddy store than as chief execu- tive who has the interest of the peo- pie in view. The selection of terri torial officials should not be left to a person of so little responsibility, who has no interest whatever in the territory save that which the wolf has in the lamb to devour 1t. Ari- zona must shuttle off this state of things. Her people must act in a way that the Washington govern ment will understand that they will no longer be imposed upon by hay ing the office of governor filled by political offal, and this end cannot be reached more effectively than by the people in convention nomina- ting their choice for the territorial offices, and have this action follow ed up by submitting their names to the voters of the territory for their expression.

Wm. Roberts, of Bonita, was in town Tuesday. He had an exam ination on Friday of last week be- fore Justice Eldridge, at Fort Grant for the killing of J. W. Cress, and was held to await the action of the Grand Jury of Graham county in S1,000 bonds. Mir. Roberts called at this office to say that mistake occurred in the account of the kill ing published last week, wherein it stated that all of the balls entered Cress' back. He stated that the first shot entered from the side, and that he shot Cress as the latter was attempting to strike him with wire-stretcher.-Stockman.

Extensive WaShOutS.

The railroad to the west of here is in a demoralized condition, and no through trains have been running since Sunday night. Exten. sive washouts have occurred be- tween Dragoon and Benson, Ben son and Tucson, and Tucson and Maricopa, and it will probably be several days before the road is again open to traffic. The most damage was done between Dragoon and Benson. In one place a 50- foot fill was washed away for dis tance of 150 feet, and when about repaied, was again carried away by a flood. Between 200 and 300 men are at work between Benson and Dragoon, and repairing operations are being pushed as rapidly as pos sible.
 A train arrived here from the East on Thursday night, with mail, being the first since Sunday. It returned East from here, and trains will now arrive daily, or rather nightly, from that quarter, unless prevented by washouts. California mail will arrive here from the East until the road is open West,
 The railroad running from Ben son to Guaymas is now in a de- plorable condition. Between twen- ty and forty miles of track along the San Pedro river have been wash ed away, and it will doubtless be several weeks before the road is re- paired.
 The San Pedro was reported to be two miles wide at Benson yes terday and higher than ever be- fore known.-Wilcox Stockman.

Santa Fe Extension.

San Francisco, Aug, 12.-It has been learned from official sources that the Santa Fe road has acquired a large tract of land near the city and that it will soon effect an en- trance against the great influence of the Southern Pacific road. which controls the city exclusively.
 It has been known for years that the Santa Fe wanted to reach the city, but it's great enemy, the South ern Pacific, has hitherto blocked every moyement that has been at tempted. The Southern Pacific own the street car lines and ferry boats of the city and it has had everything it's own way, but for once it was caught mapping. Last Wednesday the Santa Fe rented the sixth floor of the Chronicle building for it's offices, and began at once to move in it's furniture.
 The deal is quite a heavy one and embraces 2,9OO acres of land northeast of the city. about six miles from the business points but near the city limits. The manage ment of the road expects to have it's trains running into San Fran cisco before another twelve months. The tract of land has been bought by four different parties forming a combination for the purpose. Those parties are the Armours, the Swifts, the Santa Fe road and a wealthy gentleman of Denver. The object is to establish a great packing house for the coast trade, and to send those products east over the Santa Fe which are not called for on the coast. Having gained a footing so close to the city the Santa Fe will at once begin a fight for an en- trance to the city proper Business men of San Francisco are greatly incensed at the Southern Pacific for It's high-handed manner of carrying on its work and the Santa Fe is sure to gam victory.

THE news that 226,O0O applica- tions for pensions under the depen- dent act have already been filed, though it has been law for less than a month, shows how that pau perizing measure has opened the doors of the treasury to the looters. Nothing but an organized raid of the pension agents could have pro- duced such a result. This is more than the entire number of applica- tions received in the first three years after the close of the war. It almost equals the whole number of pensioners on the rolls in 1890. Truly the flood gates are opened.- New York World.

A correspondent of the Journal Miner, writing from Payson, says: :: "There is great dissatisfaction throughout Tonto Basin in regard to a part of it being annexed to Gila county, and there may be a strong fight to take it back and make a new county of it and a part of Yavapai south of Flagstaff and east of the Verde. Why not? We are willing to take our proportion of indebtedness"

While most of the country sur rounding Wilcox has been visited by copious downpours, at least one locality has not had a wetting. At the ranch of c. NJ. Hooker, less than seven miles west of here, and extending along the Winchester foothills for a distance of about eight miles north, there has not been enough rain to start new grass and the country presents dry and barren appearance. Cash Hooker is at loss to know what he has done to merit such treatment from Jupiter Pluvius-Stockman.

A New DiYining Rod.

The Phoenix Herald contains a very interesting account of the re- markable success of Prof Heerde- gen, of Russia in locating a water supply by means of an electrical instrument which he claims is un- failing in it's indications. He has just returned from the Yuma cop per camp where he was successful in locating three wells, one of which is estimated to yield 3O,000 gallons day at a depth of 30 feet. An other at 75 feet will strike a flow of 25,000 gallons while at the third location he predicts that 400 feet must be sunk before reaching a 2O,- 900 gallons supply. On the strength of his predictions the company have commenced sinking on the 75 lOOl SDdlG.
 The machine is his own inven- tion and has received the attention of leading scientists in this as we'll as his own country. His suc- cess has been phenomenal. An arti- ficial test was made in New York where hose was carried in all direc- tions over the lower floor of build ing and as soon as water was turn ed on he traced from an upper floor the exact location of the hose. His testimonials of success are numer- ous and he claims to be able also to locate artesian wells. The pro- gress of sinking in Yuma county will be watched with interest," Seminal.

-1Quite a wreck occurred at the Gal lup coal mine last Saturday. The Elk says: It appears that one of the switch engines got off the track near the tipple and while trying to get the engine back on the track it was brought nearly under the tip pie. At the time a load of eleven coal cars came out of the mine with rush and run off, striking the side of the engine. The aggre- gate weight of the eleven cars was about 38,00O pounds. The cars were badly demoralized and the en- zine was more or less injured. One man had one of his arms severely hurt.

\ Chastity Find.

Late yesterday evening while Deputy-Sheriff Thomas Cain and Thomas Lannon, IT,, were taking a walk, and when but short dis tance above the corral of MT. Bar ney Martin, they came upon a ghastly spectacle that was not down on the programme for a pleasant evenings walk.
 In a small sink near the trail they discovered two human skele- tons, the dirt having been washed from above them by the recent heavy rains. The two skulls were immediately brought to town and shown to number of people, but the oldest inhabitant could not re- member of any person or persons having been buried there, conse- quently it appears that before the site of Hillsborough was occupied by either white man or native, the remains of these two men were placed there.
 The condition of the teeth indi- cates that they were below the mid dle age of life, but the remains show that many years have elapsed since the bones were inferred beneath the soil. A number of citizens went out this morning to view the place and remains of what were doubt less two venturesome but luckless savages, whose friends yet await tidings of the unknown and unre- turned.-Sierra County Advocate.

 Of last Thursdays August 8th) market the Drovers' Telegram said :: "The feeder and stocker trade was in a worse condition today than 1t has been for a long while, though it was bad enough yesterday. Price seemed to cut no figure. There were practically no buyers at any price, and there was a big supply of thin cattle. Some had style and quality but the bulk were rough. Until water and pasture are more plenty, there is no telling what will become of such stuff fit is shipped in. They won't starve here, but they can eat their heads of, and the yards will not hold all there are in the country"
 Friday of last week was one of the worst days for prices ever known in the history of the yards. The run was enormous and everything but the choicest stock, of which there was but very small quantity was unstable. The Drovers' Tele- gram of that date said: "This was the worst day yet on COWS. The big supply all week had filled the pack CTS pens, and today they were sub- stantially out of the market. One dressed beef man called for canners only at very low prices. Sales went as low fifty cents per cwt., on old shells, or less than $4.00 per head, up to $1.25. Another buy CT took what good to choice heifers he could get and let everything else go. The general run of cows was unstable. Plenty of good COWS could not be sold, because all the regular buyers had enough. The only thing to do is to hold back shipments until the commission men advise shipment. There were close to 10000 stale cattle on the yards to begin with, this morning, and the fresh receipts were above 7,50O, making 17,50O to 18,000 cat tie on hands. There were not pens enough in the native division to hold the supply and alleys were used. Trade was still demoralized, but the rate of trading was faster than yesterday"

\ Frontier Wedding.

Charley Meadows, Jack Brown and George Felton, three represen- tative cowboys of the Tonto cattle ranges, arrived yesterday from Pay son. They give the details of most unique double wedding that occurred in Payson last Friday.
 For many months two pairs of young people at that place had loved, much in the old-fashioned way. Their names were Thomas Beach and Maggie Meadows and Charles Cole and Julia Hall.
 Early last week an entrance into the blissful state of matrimony was determined upon by both couples and it was agreed that the event should be made noteworthy one.
 Invitations were sent asking the attendance of friends for fifty miles around. At the appointed time, about noon on Friday, the guests assembled on the main street of Payson to the number of fully 200. Every one, man or woman, was mounted. When all was ready, the two couples rode on spirited steeds, to the center of the gather ing, the brides dressed in riding habits, the grooms in regular cow boy regalia of big hat, leather leg gings and spurs.
 The local Justice of the Peace, Judge Birch, also bestride of a horse, was awaiting them, and, in the briefest of a legal ceremony, spliced them as fast as the law could do it. He followed up with a fatherly speech and only omitted the usual custom of kissing the bride.
 After congratulations had been extended to the happy couples, the presents were announced. One of the presents, offered by Charley Meadows, brother of one of the brides, was as many head of his cattle as the married pairs could find and brand between then and sundown. The chase was at once begun, the young women, who are expert riders, carrying the branding irons and assisting in tying down the cattle. A large number of the wedding guests followed and high ly enjoyed the sport, though taking no hand in it. As the result of the round up each married pair secured eighteen head of stock.
 In the evening a breezy ball wound up, in true frontier style, the festivities of the day.-Repub- lican.

From John Kelley, who arrived from Nacosari yesterday, we learn that it is reported at that place that the town of Santa Cruz, on the Sonora river, is almost completely washed away, and orchards contain ing full grown trees were swept down the river, leaving the bed rock entirely bare. The water was higher than ever known before, and large number of live stock drowned. No loss of human life is reported. The town of Fronteras, on the same river, is badly damaged. The rains in that country were equal to, if not more severe than, those which wis ited us, and the roads are in much worse condition. All the bridges crossing the Sonora river are com plelelv swept away.-Epitaph.
