Restoration of Grass Land.

| saw by the L. S. Department
crop reports for November, 1886,
that the yield of hay per acre in Maine
averaged one ton; and New Hamp-
shire ninety-fve one hundredths of
/ ton. Now this seems to be a small
yield, altogether too small. All the
other states return over one ton per
acre, ranging from 1.20 to $50.
Nature does not always make
perfect soil, and it is indeed seldom
that the soil contains everything
needed to produce all kinds of crops
in abundance. What land generally
lacks is manure, and manure is the
best one fertilizer that can be applied;
but some manures lack some of the
most important elements. [ have
noticed that our farms which suffer
most from exhaustion are those where
mostly young stock is continually
kept. Why this is so [ know not,
unless it be that manures made from
young animals are not so rich in
many ingredients or mineral matters
as those made from matured animals.
There can be no doubt but what our
farms need most are manures which
contain large amounts of the bone
forming ingredients. Therefore
ground bone will be found a valuable
fertilizer in many cases, and many
times can be supplied more cheaply
than other fertilizers.
Another drawback to our grass
crops are long continued summer and
autumn droughts that occur just af-
ter our fields are cut, say in August
and September, which leave our grass
in a weakened condition to withstand
the winter and early spring frosts.
Spring freezing and thawing are
among the worst enemies to the sue
cessful growing of the hay crop that
we have here in Maine and New
Hampshire.
1t is a fact that our lands will not
produce good crops for so long time
as in years past without dressing and
re-seeding. Our soil is coarser than
in some other portions of the globe,
and requires more labor to cultivate
it, in order to dissolve some of the
mineral elements; therefore the Oft
ener we work the soil, by blowing,
narrowing, ETC., the more it will help
in this direction.
Many years since an Irishman, it
is said, purchased small patch of
land which had been SO thoroughly
exhausted as to be considered incap-
able of producing paying crop of
any kind. But he determined to SOW
a piece with rye, and long before the
time to SOW, he might be seen almost
every morning, while the dew was on,
blowing his field. After a while he
stopped blowing, saying that if he
plowed any more, the rye would lodge
and spoil the crop. His neighbors
thought this was a specimen of Irish
intelligence, and made much sport
over it. But the rye ripened, and
when a large yield was harvested,
the neighbors concluded that the
Irishman knew great deal more
than they thought he did. We do
not of course advise any one to neg
lect to dress his land, as best he can,
for we know all crops are obtained at
the expense of either manure or soil.

Turned Into q Pin Cushion.

There is in Georgia Confederate
General who was literally shot full OF
pins during the late war. He was an ex-
temporized pin cushion, but the pins
saved his life. On one occasion the
General was lying in his tent at night.
The Federals were near enough to shoot
into the camp.
1t is said be had just finished a letter
home and had thrown himself down for
few hours rest before the hot work that
would begin in the early morning, when
ping. a mimic bullet from a sharpshoot-
er's rife sped through the tent and struck
the General in his left side. The blow
stunned him, and he lay as dead for a
few moments
When he recovered consciousness he
felt singing pain in his breast, and,
tearing open his shirt, found that the ball
had struck package of pins his wife
had given him, thinking they would be
needful in those days when there was no
one to sew and patch, and had driven
every one of them into his flesh. They
had saved his life, but he was a walking
cushion, bristling with pin heads

The MayfOWer.

A vessel named the Mayfower was re-
Gently launched at the Pembroke dock
yard, in England, which is to be used as
a training ship for boys destined for the
navy. This event has caused the Lon
don Graphic to recall some facts con-
nected with the historic Mayfower of
Pilgrim fame which are not we'll known.
1t appears that before making her mem
orable voyage the Mayfower had been
employed as war vessel, and was the
principal ship contributed by the city of
London to defend the country against
the Spanish armada. In the battle with
that fleet the Mayfower gave a good ac-
count of herself, and played prominent
part in the defeat of the invaders. The
final fate of the vessel is said to be I'M
certain, though there is good reason to
believe that in her old age she was en-
ployed in the slave trade between Africa
and America.

Electrical Phenomena.

Remarkable electrical phenomena are
witnessed at the new observatory on the
steep and isolated Saints in northern
Switzerland. Thunder storms are ex-
tremely frequent; thus in June and July
last year only three days were without
them. AS a rule, thunder peals from
midday till evening. The noise is short,
partly owing to shortness of flashes and
partly to the small amount of echo. The
thunder storms come on quite suddenly,
in a clear sky. One of the surest indica-
tions of their approach is the bristling of
the observers hair. During hail, the
iron rods of the house give a kissing
sound, associated with luminous effects.

The Antelope Canal

The people of Yuma will be pleased to learn that the completion of the Antelope canal is assured. The head ing is one of the best on the river and as we are informed by those com potent to know, will, when finished, allow the carriage of a sufficient sup ply of water, at all seasons, for the thorough irrigation of the 12,OO0 acres of choice lands lying tributary to the canal. Ample funds for the prosecu- ton of work will be available during the next few days. Plans by expert engineers have been prepared and are now under consideration by the Di' rectors.
 The solid bedrock is sixteen feet be- low the bed of the river, and it is pro- posed to construct & cemented rock | dam to the surface, which will con trol the underground stream flowing during the dryest seasons. The canal for the present, will be twelve mile' in length, and will reach to Adonde but, it is contemplated to extend it some time in the future, across tn rallrOau IrAck, elShI UT UGH ihli0o lui ther, towards Yuma.

Gone to Rest,

Gen. Manuel Escalante, of this city, and one of the best known men in Sonora and Arizona, died in Guaymas on Tuesday last and was buried at that place. He has been unwell for more than year though no one. sup posed that the end was SO near.
 Gen. Escalante WAS born in Hermo- sillo, Sonora, and was CT years of age: Since reaching manhood he has been recognized as one of the brightest minds of Sonora and his influence, which was always for good, extended throughout the state. Although at all times conservative he was power in the politics of his native country and himself and family have alwayl been popular in society. He served one term in the upper of House O in the Sonora legislature. He alst once held the position of Mexican Consul at Tucson and was entrusted with number of other political anC business official positions in Sonora He leaves wife and four daughters two of the latter being Mrs. Capt Mi and Mrs. H. K. Chenoweth-and wide circle of friends to mourn hi loss. In this city he was honored an' beloved by all who knew him.
 Thus has ended a life rich in bIoa charity, noble impulses, honor an distinction. May the generous an noble soul repose in peace.-Nogale Herald.

Close Call.

Yesterday morning there passed through Albuquerque a man who has met with an experience that would have killed 99 out of 100 persons. On the 1st of January, while accompany ing B. F.. Stanton, chief engineer oi the Denver, Colorado Canyon X Pacific railway company, on preliminary survey of route through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, MT. F. c. Nims, the photographer of the party, with three companions, ascend ed cliff to make picture of Marble canyon. While in pursuit ot their object the rock gave way and the four persons were precipitated to the bot tom of the gorge. and the three com panions of MT. Nims were killed. He sustained badly crushed loot and leg, and when found was unconsclous, though breathing. He was picked up. placed on a stretcher and carried
 up the river to Lees Ferry, distance
 of 25 miles, the trip requiring three
 days. Here for two weeks he lay un-
 conscious, and when he recovered
 found big piece of wood attached to
 his leg and was told that his limb had
 been badly injured. He again re-
 lapsed into unconsciousness and lay
 in that condition several days. Upon
 his recooery, a party of Mormons,
 with lumber wagon, conveyed him
 across the country to Wrnslow, dis
 tance of 135 miles, the trip requiring
 nine days. At this point the injured man procured the services of the surgeon of the Atlantic and Pacific road, and the badly crushed foot wa' repaired, though between the time O : the injury and his reaching WinsloW
 27 days had elapsed. MT. Nims doe , not remember anything of the acci 7 dent, only that he started out on th' I first of January to make a picture I He only knows the result from thu , consequences which befell him ant
 what was told him by his companions A and was much surprised and paine l. when told that the unfortunate mel l. who accompanied him were dead.
 f In speaking of the matter, phys Q clans say that it is a wonder that Nil ,- Nims is alive to-day, and that only
 man with an iron constitution coul l. have endured the sufferings he has. Q The hero of this accident is prob, o ply 30 years of age, of decidedl ,e handsome appearance, wears a fu
 beard, and in his calm manner dot ,e not betray the pain that he must el .s dure. He left on the afternoon trail
 and expressed himself as happy at tf n prospect of soon being at his home n Denver. He gives glowing descri

The Araby Canal.

With his usual enterprise in adopt ing labor-saving machinery, MT. H. w. Blaisdell, proprietor of the Araby Canal, has purchased Fresno Ditch ing Flow, for the purpose of extending the Canal to Yuma, and to assist settlers in ditching their land.
 Two men, and sixteen animals, are required to operate the blow, with which it is expected to make nearly a mile day of canal, ten feet wide on the bottom and three feet deep. A two ton iron roller, with scraper in front, will follow the blow, to level and pack the bank, so as to make il water tight. The blow will make quick work of contour lateral ditches and will be at the service of holders o water rights under the canal.
 An abundant gravity supply o water is what Yuma has long needed and its use will be the beginning of
 new era of prosperity.-Yuma Times.
