KESILwoRrH, Pinal Co.,, Ariz., June 20, 1S03.-It was kind in the Hon. Tom Davis to pick me up in hot, dusty Flor. ence and bowl me behind two prancins steppers down seven mics south to hls immense stock farm called Wentworth, for brief visit. l say "immense" be- cause the farm comprises three sections, or ,920 acres of patented land. These sections are l. shaped, extending two miles in north and south directin and two miles east and west from the top Of the L. That is, the L is inverted, and these extensions are both mile wide. Four years ago the dry desert blistered any unhappy wanderer across those iong stretches. Now sage bruch, mes- quite and cactns have disappeared ; burning, binding sand is replaced by blue Towering alfalfa and fat stock lazily wanders where erstwhile horned toeds were blinking and the neIvons gopher dived wildly into his hole. Only in each section of land, above the luxuriancs of present cultivation, a
 towering sahuaro rises in solemn sil- ence to mark where virtual death reigned only fifty short moons ago.
 The effect, to one gazing over these acres of green after toiling through a red hot blasted desert, is peculiarly re- freshing. Far as his eye can reach rolls the cool, beautiful verdure like an emerald ocean when all the land around is dry and parched. And scattered over this vivid sea are seemingly great chips riding easily at anchor. Turn which way one will, these ships con. front him, great stacks of hay 6O0 tons, the product of those alfalfa stretches thus fan this season. And apparently there is as much ready now for the mower.
 Besides such prolific harvest, 50J sleek cattle have been putting on fat all the spring and early summer for other people, with only six bits each per month dropping into the Davis ex- chequer. Such philanthropy is not to continue, for the Hon. Thomas has ordered 800 choice feeders. which will shortly turn that sweet, blossoming grass into juicy beef for Kenilworth's g benefit.
 But it is the Wentworth horses that prove most interesting. Nearly a hun dred of them meander breast deep in the forage that springs up faster than they can nibble it. Fame they are too, every one with name. Hector, the proud stallion, first welcomes you CT. teriHg the pasture. Then the mothers come up, Annie and Susie and Mag, for all have names to which they respond and show off with maternal satisfaction the progeny that follows them, fro m the two colts born the day this writer arrived to the whinnying frolicsome rascals that have weeks, months and year or two on their muscular shoulders. Happy is theIr lor, running from one 20.acre meadow to another of the eight into which pasture quarter sections are divided.
 Then the Hon. Thomas takes you through his orchards of apricots, peach trees and figs, his teemIng vineyards, his strawberry beds and melon patches, over twenty acres in all. High cultiya- tion and high results may be seen every where. As you enter his com fortsbly furnished home, Carlo, the St. Bernard dog bigger than yearling bull cali, and Florence, the mustard seed Skye terrier, and Judy, the coal black Thomas feline, all present them selves for pat, or scratch or fondle. And Gearv Act, the Mongolian chef, next presents himself with a menu that dying dyspeptics into devour- ing, veritable modern Balshazzer bar- quets. After sspper all the territorial papers await one, for the Hon. Thomas keeps his finger close upon the popular pulse as it beats through journalistic arteries. After these are conned, a well-selected library, with Turkey morocco and tree calf bindings, still further begniles you. Later comes the Stilton cheese and bulging olives, with beverages that the Hon. Tom drsgs from an ice box which seems to have no limit in size or variety of contents.
 When the last good story has been told and the Hon. Tom has sprung one more joke upon you, the wire mattress cots outdoors woo to slumber that is because at a. m. the trained Chinaman spreads two blankets over you. YOd~wake at 8 and breakfast con. fronts you. Scouts Wentworth" is absorbing, but the Wentworth of Tom Davls and Judge Sloan. near Florence, bangs the bottom dish" UTLEY.
