SAN FELIPE BEACH.
The Pleasure Seekers Paradise on the
Gulf Coast.

The Pleasure Seekers Paradise on the
Gulf Coast.
Godfrey Sykes and the Hussey broth
ers returned yesterday from an extended
trip to San Felipe, says the Yuma
Times. Mr.. Sykes went there for rheu-
matte troubles and was greatly bene-
fted by hot sulphur baths taken in
springs in that locality. He is loud in
praise Of San Felipe as health resort !;
it having beautiful sand beach, excel
lent fishing and hunting. CLANS, oysters
and turtle, fine climate, the best OF
yachting, fresh water on the beach, and
the hot eul phur baths referred to.
Mr.. Sykes and party consider San Fe-
lipe the best health resort they have
ever visited, and they have travelled ex-
tensively. Enciosed by bay, San Fe-
lipe furnishes q retreat from the rough
water on the outside and the mountains
shield it from the harsh winds of the
northwest Altogether, San Felipe is
Yuma,s future seaside resort.
On the trip back the party had oppor
tunitiee of ofldisplaying their seamanship
in stiff gale which. brought them from
San Felipe to the mouth of the river In
seven hours. which was getting through
the water OF the rate OF about 10 miles
an hour. AS they passed Montague the
island was only two feet out of water
and the tide still rising.
At Lerdo, on the way up, the party
encountered the late rise OF Salt river.
This was a sight for the blind, for the
reason that il it could not be seen it
could be smelled. The Salt river, as
every one knows, runs q saturated solu-
ton of soil, and the last rise was al
most as thick as pancake batter. This
decoction was bit too rich for the
large Colorado fieh, called in irony,
''salmon," the result of which was that
they died by tons; the bars and banks
being linod with their dead bodies.
The Sykes crowd had an intimation
that something was wrong long before
they reached the dead tsh belt. The
wind blowing down the river brought
With perfumes suggestive OF Egypt after
the plaques. The atmosphere smelled
like an emoalmer's shop with glue fac
tory next door. The party could use
river water only by digging shallow wells
on the eand bars.
On the trip down the party arrived at
the mouth of the Hardy at the time
when the full moon bore was due. It
was their intention to enter the lower
mouth OF the Hardy and tie up to the
bluff bank. With this in view the party
passed the upper mouth and found on
their arrival below that the mouth was
covered with sand bar. AS the bore
was then rounding the bend below there
was nothing left to do but ride it out.
They struck the wave in the middle OF
theriver and estimated its height at elk
feet. A series of smaller waves followed,
but the paaty pulled through without
damage except the shipping Of consider
able water. The Hussey brothers will re-
main in Yuma for some time, and Mr..
Sykes will return to Flagstaff to look
alter some horses which are reported to
have been stolen during his absence.

The RArTLER,s ENEMY.

Bird Arousss His Anger by PilfnE
Cactus Plant Around Him.
The 'countryman bird' of New Mex
leo 10 the natural enemy OF the rattle-
snake, and will follow it all day to
catch it asleep and then kill it. Lutte
Wilcox. wellknown Denver gentle
man, familiar with many phases OF
western life, related to me the following
incident, Gays writer in the st. Louis
Globe-D Democrat. He. together with
Harry Kelley Of Lss Vegas, were on 6.
wool buying trip near Puerto de Luna
(gate OF the moon), in the Pecos valley
New Mexico. "We were suddenly at-
tracted," said Mr.. Wilcox, "by the
actions oil three OF these countryman
birds. They somewhat resemble an
English snipe, bills three or four inches
long, body about the eize OF prairie
chicken. but with long legs. These
birds had found rattlesnake asleep
and were preparing to kill it. 1t was
most interesting to watch their proceed
ings. The birds scratched loose lot OF
prickly pear, and by the use OF their
feet and bills built wall OF this cactus
plant around the coil of the sleeping
snake. After they had a good layer OF
this prickly pear around the rattlesnake
they used their bills to throw small
sticks on the snake and thus awoke it.
The snake soon discovered that it was
surrounded by this thorny stuff, and
would not crawl over it. In its anger
the snake ran ito fangs into its own body
and died OF its own poison. The rattle
snake, when wounded or thus enraged,
often kills itself. 1t was one OF the
strangest sights ever witnessed on tbs
frontier to see the systematic methods Of
the countryman bird. The cowboys in
the southwest often use hair ropes, made
OF the names and tails OF horses, to guard
against rattlesnakes. Neither insects
nor reptiles will crawl over hair rope.
The cowboys, for this reason, often
stretch a hair lariat on the ground
around their camp, and sleep safely"
Are rattlesnakes good to eat? Those
who have tried it cay that they taste as
delicious as frogs legs. They are cleanly
in their habits and kill their own prey
before devouring it. While not com
mon diet, it is u fact, nevertheless. that
some people have eaten rattlesnakes and
pronounce them very good meat. A
cowboy informed me that he had a
"pard" on the trails who was fond OF
rattlesnake meat, and said 1t tasted like
frog legs. When you wish good. tender
rattlesnake broil or fry you must, in Kill
ling the snake, use due precaution
against letting it bite or fang itself.
When skinned the meat looke white and
tender. A common, and probably the
safest way Of capturing a rattlesnske
alive, is to press forked stick over the
head and hold it to the ground until a
string can be tied around it or it is
placed in a box. The skin of rattle
snake often has quite brilliant color,
and have often seen them worn as hat.
bands on the western sombrero.

This Years Hay crop.

The hay crop, on the whole, is large
and has generally been secured in good
condition, although in some important
regions unfsvorable conditions caused
reduction Of the crop. The condition
of the timothy crop is Sc 6 as com pared
with 1872 in 1892. The product of clo-
yer and it's quality compare favorably
with previous crops. The Farm and
Home is probably quite correct in say
ing that the preeent hay crop was gath
cred from 43,000,00 acres and exceeds
S3 GOO, 600 tons, or about 1000, 600 in
crease over last year.
Abroad the crop Is very much reduced
by drought, and heavy export de mand
for hay is assured. 1t will be met this
fall by cheap Canadian hay, but when
that ia marketed the surplus OF the
United States will be in active demand.
xlay for export must be pressed into
small bales, we'll wired. The London
market paid $25 to $50 per long ton for
best mixed cover tAmerican) during
the second week of August. but freights
and commissions ate up 81 to $l2 per
son. The outlet for surpluH hay means
continuation of the light imports OF
Canadian hay into the United States
that have characterized the past two
years. On the whole it looks as though
hay has never paid better than the
new crop bids fair to do. Our hay crop

PRUNING 81 Z stImulant.

5 Claremont News: There is always a
balance more or less perfect between the
root system and the top growth of a
tree. The more vigorous and luxurian:
the roots. the larger the growth of trunk
and branches. Now, by removing por-
tion Of the branches as in pruning we
disturb the balance, and the effect is
that the tree makes special effort to
restore the balance by making extra
growth. Or, rather. the real explana-
tion is that the plant food sent up by the
roots is directed into fewer channels,
and thereby concentrated to the advan-
tage OF the branches left on the tree.
But the effort to utilize the superabun-
dant supply OF food has, besides, a stim-
ulating effect on the vitality of the whole
tree leading to the more vigorous per-
formance Of all its functions. This may
not be scientifically provable, but we
believe it to be the fact.
