THE FRUIT TO PLANT.
Fruit Growers Association Report on it
Phenix Herald

On Saturday the Fruit Growers As sociation held its regular Saturday after noon meeting. The committee on kinds of fruit to plant reported as follows. through Mir. l.. Fowler as chairman:
 MT. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: Your committee appointed week ago to investigate as to the best fruits to plant and soil adapted to the different kinds, wish to submit this report.
 The short time taken has allowed only a partial study of the subject, but we hope every one present will keep up the study and agitate the raising of fruit as the true industry of the people of this valley.
 Oranges Should be grown in red or light loans. Navel and Mediterranean Sweets, sure where ironwood grows in this valley. Seedlings about foothills or high ground.
 Lemons above, about the foothills, among ironwood.
 Peaches Early Crawfords, plant yellow kinds; best for market. Sellers Early Clings, canning and shipping.
 Apricots Light loams Royal can be planted, best market; Moorpark, apt to be shy bearer; Early Golden, good, but soft.
 Grapes-Red loans and sandy or gravelly soils Malaga, for raisins or the best early white market grape; Tokay, good shipper, nearly white; Muscat. for raisins, a moderate shipper; White Corinth, earliest white grape, seedless, ships quite well Black July. earliest black grape, very vigorous and prolific; Seedless Sultana, seeGless raisins or cur rants,
 Fise-Lieht- White 4AAI49r;;5.ttiie AI49r;;5.ttiie vigorous, good bearer,
 Pear Heavier soils. Bartlett, most profitable market pears: Winter Nellis, very sure here.
 Pomegranates- Two kinds, unnamed, very thrifty here.
 Dates Very thrifty here.
 OIives-Do well and fruit success fully.
 Avoid except experimentally, walnuts, prunes, plUms, (except the Kelsey Japan plum, which is probably success.) There is promise in almonds of the right kind in some localities.
 In blackberries, the Crandall Early IS success. Two unnamed varieties of strawberries are a success. Wine grapes are left for those better acquainted, but are quite successful. 1 We believe that not less than five acres should be planted in single varieties of one kind of fruit. and better, ten acres as otherwise the crop will be too much scattered for profit.
 The most serious objection to the or chards heretofore is that they are planted of few trees of too great a number oi kinds, making it quite out of the question to get fruit together in merchantable quantities or to secure the care and at ! tention necessary toits successful harvest There can be no danger of overstockine the market with apricots. grapes, pears good peaches or oranges and lemons.
 Olives, grapes, pOnegranates and fgS readily grow from cuttings.
 We recommend, especially, for large orchards, apricots, pears, peaches anG oranges, location near the foothills We advise planting vineyards of botl raisins and shipping varieties, not les. than ten acres of a kind, for the same reason given on orchards.

BOILER EXPLOSION.
Eagineer'Green is Thrown Several Hun dred Feet and Seriously Injured---
 Janes Stinson Badly Hurt.
Phenix Republican.

Information was brought to Phenix yesterday by T. G. Goodwin, of a serious accident yesterday morning upon the farm of James Stinson, three miles south of Tempe
 Mir. 6dnson has a large acreage of al falfa, and has been having a portion of his crop threshed for seed, hiring for the purpose an alfalfa seed huller and an en- zine. The engine which he had been us- ing got out of order, and he was compelled to secure another, a powerful portable threshing engine, belonging to the Tempe Threshing Company.
 Work was resumed Wednesday morn ing, and had proceeded for about an hour, nothing unusual being noted, when, without warning, the boiler exploded with terrific force. The only man at the en- zine at the time was Thos. Green, the en- gineer. He was hurled over 200 feet. suffering broken leg and arm, and in- ternal injuries that are liable to cause his death Mir. Stinson. who was oiling the separator, was struck by a fue and severely injured.
 The boiler flew far over the separator and alfalfa stack, and fell about 600 feet distant from where 1t had stood Nothing remained but the bare shell, both ends and the fiues having been blown out The running gear was thrown several hundred feet to the other side.
 No cause is known for the explosion. though 1t is probable that the water was allowed to get too low. The boiler was rusty and, though not very old, had been subjected to rather rough usage.
 This Is the second boiler explosion that has happened in this valley, the other be- ing that at Lewis thresher in Mesa. sev- eral years ago, by which number of per sons were injured.

THE CANTEEN SYSTEM.
What Mrs. Hughes Recommends in the In-
 terest of Temperance.

Mrs. L. c. Hughes, of Tucson, as dele gate to the national W. c. T. U. Associ ation called on the President last Tuesday and in company with other ladies appoint ed for that purpose, and as spokesman for the party she said:
 "That, under the canteen or military sa- loon system now in use, consumption of beer had more than doubled at garrisons that the government was not only foster ing and encouraging an appetite for strong drink in the army, but was giving beer drinking the semblance of responsibility by compelling commissioned officers of the army who were educated at the expense of the government to become overseers or bartenders of the military saloon; that military posts on the frontier were being converted into recruiting stations for breweries and the soldiers into an army of beer drinkers, which is disgrace to the government and would prove disastrous to the soldiers, and when they were dis charged from the service their usefulness as good citizens would be much i'm paired.

 They are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax and pick. but they are as hardy and self-reliant as any man who ever bTeathed bronzed. set faces and keen eyes, that look all the world straight in the face without finch ing, as they flash out from under the broad-brimmed hats. Peril and hardships, and long years of toll. broken by weeks of brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across their eager faces, but never dim their reckless eyes nor break their bear ing of defiant self-confidence.

An Explanation of Sheep Call.

"Co-day" is derived by one authority from "Come, Dick" Dick having been name as much in vogue for a male sheep as Jock was for horse. But "Co-dan" may come very easily from Come, Nan. Nan or Nanny is still favorite name for sheep, as well as for goat. Co dan" would come by corruption from Conan" and "Co-day" from that, in order to make it more explosive and easily heard at distance.
 ''Co-dar" is said to be derived from Come, Darby" another name once cften used for a sheep. Boston Trans crint

Beans In the Mohawk.
Yuma Times

una Hines.
 Charles Landon, rancher in the Mo hawk Valley, has shown this season that beans can be made profitable crop there. He planted several acres to beans on the 20th of last March, but as he did not know a q exactly the best way to treat l them, seed obtained from the first crop on the 25th of August This time he plowed first, them irrigated and then sowed his beans broadcast, narrowing afterwards. The result was yield of ton to the acre. He sold 1000 pounds at home for S45, which would give return of $9O per acre, and this with two crops a year from the same ground makes beans a good crop to raise. California ships beans to Boston, and Yuma county might do the same.
