DR.. Menger's report was then
read as follows:
At the request of Mr.. Garretson
| will state that it is my unquali-
fed opinion that the garbage fur
mace now in operation fulfills it's
mission satisfactorily; and that it
will do this, the more so the older
it gets and the more it gets worked.
Some objections will arise in the
hot season from the deposits of the
garbage prior to it's destruction by
fire, but perhaps some arrange
ments can be made to avoid this
entirely. There is no question but
that the manner in which the city
garbage was dumped away before
and scattered for miles about the
prarie-and allowing a number of
milk cows and other cattle to feed
on the purified vegetable, etc, the
Ofals from the city-was a greater
sanitary nuisance than ever our
inhabitants were aware of, and the
only efficient way to get rid of this
city garbage is by a good incinera-
tor. Very respectfully,

How to Teach a Team to Hang.
National stockman.


 Some horses are built that way, and only require practice. If l have a pair of young horses that l wish to work together 1 work them with a stayer until they have acquired that habit. Nearly every farmer has or ought to have some good level headed horse. The colt should be worked with suchua horse a reasonable length of time, and if he does not hang. a smart crack of whip or shingle cracked over his trump just when the load is moving will sometimes have q good effect. The best way l have ever tried with young team, is to work them to blow and harrow till l get the wire edge off, then repair to clearing and drag logs, commencing on small ones and increasing the load as they learn. l have yet to see the team that would not hang and seemingly enjoy such work. The difficulty with farm- CTS horses is that they are required to do all kinds of work, and frequently have periods of rest. Such teams are not expected to pull steady as they would if worked every day to heavy loads, except they be bred or built that way"

Peach Yellows Incurable.

Only by the strict observance of quarantine regulations can the Cali fornia peach industry be preserved from great danger of destruction by the yellows. 4 paper was recently read before the North Carolina Society by Prof. c. Mccarthy, of the exper- iment station which contains much valuable information relative to the peach He says that the United States Department Of Agriculture has for six years past kept a scientist exclusively studying the peach yellows. He has tried every known remedy and has found them equally worthless. The only remedy is the spade and ax. From the first infection of the fruit it is worthless and the tree becomes source of danger to still healthy trees. It must therefore be promptly rooted out and burnt. Prof. Mccarthy says: "A genuine case of yellows has never been cured California growers who import peach stock from the east take great risks.

To the Editor of TIE OASIS:

To the Editor of TIE OASIS:
 DEAR SIR;-In preceding letters l have rcalled attention to the great areas of FREE government land open to settlement under the homestead and desert land laws, in the vicinity of Arizola, and showed the existence of an abundant subterranean supply of water within easyreach by ordinary pumps, for irrigating these lands, and offered suggestions by which settlers of small means could utilize windmills, in connection with horsepowers, or economical vapor engines. for raising this water in sufficient quantities. and it may not be amiss to show how man and his wife can combine to use the privileges now remaining the
 LAND LAWS WERE CHANGED
 in 1891, and the advantages that may be made to result, together with an outline Of the necessary steps to get title to desirable and valuable home. Homestead lands of the government WITH a RAINFALL sufficient to make them productive. ARE GONE to previ- ous settlers: presumption and timber culture as means of securing lands have been ABOLISHED by law. but your section of Arizona can offer homeseek- CTS BOTH the homestead and the des- ert land privileges by which they may secure title to more desirable orchard and fruit lands. with canal or subter- raneanl water for irrigation.
 THE HOMESTEAD LAW
 allows any citizen, man orwoman, but not both man and wife twenty-one years of age or the head of a family, to take up leo acres. and requires that residence on the land be established before the expiration of six months from date of entering the land at the land office Tucson, Arizona, for yoDr section) At the expiration of four teen t14l months the land may be pnr- chased from the governme mt for Sl.25 per acre by making proof of residence or cultivation of some portion Of the land: or after five years residence the land may be had FREE OF COST, on making usual proof of re 'idence and cultivation of some portion of the l6O acres.
 THE DESERT LAND LAW.
 allows any citizen man or womanl of the United States. and at the time of entry resident of the territory, after SEEING the land, to enter 320 tor q less amount down to 401 acres ot "des- ert' land by making payment of 25cts. per acre on entering the land at the local land office, two witnesses testify ing as to it's desert character ti. Q. hay ing no running water on it, or having no natural growth of trees, other than the mesquite, or natural supply of wa ter to grow crops without irrigation
 Having entered the land the 'desert land" claimant to get title must make improvements amounting in all to at least a9.OO per acre. and get from ca- nalS or by pumping sufficient water supply and actually irrigate all the land entered, and pay the government sI .O0 per ace on making final proof, The improvements may be by work done on the land by the claimant lcleaxing fencing, ditchIng, blowing, kea ke.l, and also sy purchase of ma.

 and in that dry climate would last for many years. Having house on his homestead he can next attend to clear ing sagebrush, etc, from his wife's desert land entry, around aud below the well corner. so that water pumped
 from the well by windmill and horse power shall flow over and irrigate the the land as it is cleared. Clearing off sagebrush is easy work. Next let him fence ten or twenty acres of this land,
 getting mesquite posts from lower down in the valley,sor old ties from
 the railroad people: and barbed wire at ArizoIa. This gives him corral for his stock, and he can then at his leisure put up windmill of the larg- est size he can afford, ll6-foot geared steel mills can be bought in Chicago for Sl35 00l and get triple plunger pump with sprocket wheel to run by chain belt from wind mill sprocket) and a strong horse power Sl00 laid down from Chicago to pump by horses when the winds relax, He is then ready to pump water to irrigate fully eighty acres of land at once, and can plant crops and start his orchard. Five or ten acres should be seeded to alfalfa for feeding his stock. He is then ready to work for his nelghbors or continue his own work. He will have thus made all improvements re- Quired by law to enable his wife to make the FIRST annual proof in the desert land entry, and he can again be ene of her witnesses at the land office in making snch proof, and it should be made as long BEFORE the end of the year as possible, to avoid any accidental delay near the end of the year from the date of entry, since the annual proof must be made inside the year. Any intelligent man can see the rest of the way, repeating each year. proof of further improvements to the amount of Sl.00 per acre, and year by year in- creaslng the pumping plant by more power and more pumps, and even a new well or wells, situated so as to give best results till SHE can show one eighth of the entire entry in cultiya- tion, and power and pumps torun wa ter to supply each legal subdivision 40 acres. Then they can fourth year make final proof Meanwhile, after fourteen months residence on the HOMESTEAD, HE could, perhaps,

year, by irrigating it all at once and by actual cultivation of one-eighth (s) of the acres entered making proof of having made improvements to the value of S3.00 per acre and paying the government sl.00 per acre. But on the other hand if the claimant has A'moFe time than money" and wishes to earn money, lon the land or by work ing elsewhereD he need only make inn provements on the land to the amount ONE dollar per acre, land furnish proof by testimony of two witnessesl each year for the first, second and third years. BEFORE the end of each year from date of entry. At the proof for the third year he must submit plat or sketch of the land showing actual Improvements made, and he must get water to irrigatc all the land, or as much as he can, before or during the fourth year. and make final proof and pay sl.0O per acre to the govern ment..
 By comparison it readily appears that title to desert land" is more costly by way of desert land entry than by simple homestead entry" and that the desert land law gives at the most four years to make title, and requires an annual proof of improve ments to the amount of S1.00 per acre, and final proof of water supply and irrigation while the homestead law re- qulres only one proof. either for cash communication at ,sl.25 per acre after fourteen months) or for ultimate FREE title after five years and before the expiration of seven years.
 TAXEs SAVED.
 ! Neither case requires any payment of taxes on the land or improvements till actual title has been acquired, taxes on personal property being the only ones to pay while getting title to the land for the government owns the land until it parts with it's title to the settlers. This freedom from taxes is important since the value of land be- comes great with water for irrigation and taxes are a cash expense. A let ter from the Interior Department at Washington is my authority for the above statement.
 | COMBINING BOTH PRIVILEGES.
 Let us suppose man and wife, not content with l60 acres, want to add another l60 or even 32O acres to their holdings for thelr children. He could make "homesteadn entry of l60acres and she could make a desert landn entry of 320 acres or less, adjoining the homestead of her husband There is abundance of opportunity to do this in the beautiful plain to the north and west of Arizola, with it's thous ands of acres of FREE land. all having abundance of water to irrigate at depths of thirty to sixty feet below the surface.
 1 STEPS TOWARD TITLE.
 Having seen the lands and then duly entered" them at the Tucson (he with one other witness testifying to the desert character of her en- try) his first work should be to dig a well ON THE DESERT LAND SECTION, with the help of one of the many good well diggers in the vicinity of Arizola. This is easy because there is no rock to penetrate. only sand, clay, and an occasional streak of hardpan of a few inches, and the we'll could be done in- side of week. Then having ahund- aass sf delicious pure water, hs
