Breed Good Horses.

X Pennsylvania farmer who breeds several barieties of stock, says: Il has been my experience that when l stop breeding certain kind of stock because it is low and a drug in the market. when the boom does come | am not in it. And now that horses have reached low water mark intend to keep on breeding just the same as l did when they were higher in price. Some farmers say horses will never be much higher than now. but l have more faith in the business than that. There is nothing that will tend to ere ate love for the light-harnesS horse among the masses more than the estab- lishmentof speedways and bouleyards

How to Keep Grapes.

The Farm and Home says there are
 hundreds of barrels of grapes annually
 sent from Spain, and they have to be
 kept weeks and months after picking. The fruit Is cat from the vines with q sharp knife before it is oyerripe. It is spread on benches, twelve to eight cen inches deep, in close room and
 left to sweat for few days. All broken and discolored berries are then cut out with long, pointed scissors, and the fruit is packed in barrels in dry cork dust. IA layer of this dsst is put on the bottom and then a layer of grapes, and so on until the barrel IS full. luis wellshaken during this process and all spaces filled with the dust. The barrels are headed tightly and shipped. They are kept in cold places after being received in New York
 Native grapes may be kept in the same way. Care must be exercised in not letting them get too ripe. Se- lect well formed punches and only such varieties as have tough skin and hang well to the stem. Those in which the punches are not too compact are preferable to solid punches. Where cork dust Is not attainable bran may be used, or very fine sawdust. Store the packages in a dry, cool place and there will be no trouble to keep the fruit to Christmas.

ArIzona's Coal Deposits.
Coconlnosun

CoconinO Sun.
 The discovery of new coal fields in Sonora. Mexico, is the subject of much favorable comment by our ex- changes from Southern Arizona. Judging from the tone of some of the notices given, it is strange that SO many of the newspapers of that sec tion know nothing of the large coal fields lying in Coconino and Apache counties. These fields are the largest west of the continental divide, and will supply the Pacific coast for ages to come. In many places the coal de- posits are forty feet deep and twenty feet wide, and contains the best of coal for domestic purposes.
 These fields commence east of tho Little Colorado river, and extend northeast to the San Juan, covering many hundreds of square miles of val uable coal lands.
 In eastern Apache county. north east of St. Johns, there are also large coal fields which are inexhaustibic. There is no need for Arizona to look outside of her own limits for supply Of fuel for the present or future.
 The reason that these coal deposits remain untouched is that they are. at present, too far from the railroad, and that there is but little demand for coal, beyond the supply now made from the Gallup coal fields. With greater demand roads will be built to the new source of supply, and Arizona can supply the world with coal.
