Planting Pecans. 1,

The growing of oceans is destined to become one of the future indus tries of the west. Many parties who have been successful in raising these nuts recommend the planting of the seed in the fall where the trees are to grow. The reason for this is that in transplanting the long tap roots are frequently cut when taking the trees from the nurseries. Seed should be procured from as near the same lati- aude and soil that the trees are to be grown as possible. Southern grown nuts will produce varieties not hardy enough for the more northern lati- tudes.
 1t is recommended that about one fourth of a stick of dynamite be ex- ploded about two feet under the sur face. at the point where a tree is to be planted This is to assist long tap roots in penetrating the sub surface soil and will greatly facilitate the tree growth. About one inch is the proper depth to plant the seed. A bushel of nuts will grow tbout 800

Alfalfa.
nnrSeries,

Alfalfa is a curious gras s, but pay ing one. it never fails or goes into the hands of d receiver. 1t is weather proof, for the cold doesn't injure it and the heat makes it grow all the better. A winter flood will not drown it.. and a fire will not kill it. It loves water and bores to reach it.. As borer, it is equal to an artesian well. When growing, there is no stopping it. Begin cutting twenty acre field, and when your last load of hay is handled at one end of the field, zhe grass is ready to cut again at the. other end of it. For filling milk can. an alfalfa fed COW is equal to q handy pump. Cattle love it, hogs fat ten upon it. fowls relish it and a hun gry horse will want nothing else. Bees will leave all other bloom for alfalfa. If your land will grow alfal- ia you will have the drop on dry weather. Once started on your land. alfalfa will stay by you like Canada thistles or a first class mortgage. but only to make you wealthier and hap pier. Try it.

trees. They come into bearing at from five to ten years. according to the nature of the soil and climate.
 Most all of the irrigated valleys o1 the west will produce the pecan. IL grows wild in Texas, Louisiana and other Southern states. Its nature is similar to that of the black walnut. requiring but little water and yet will stand large quantity. The trees may be planted round barnyards and will soon produce good crops in addi- tion to furnishing abundant shade and acting as windbreaks for shelter ing stock. They would make good borders for orchards and fields and might be planted along the irrigatng ditches. If tha nuts are not procura for fall planting trees can be pur- chased in the spring from first class nurseries.

much less than two to one. and where a head of water was run in the ditch that had not been well settled
 Burrows for planting trees were made with twenty-inch listing plow, calculated for three horses. in loose prairie soil We should have bought one as strong as road plow and cal culated for eight horses in hard ground When water was run in these furrows and the ground thor oughly soaked by checking so often as to leave rhe furrows all full, the holes for trees were easily dug, especially if the sub-soil blow was run in the bottom of the furrow after 1t was soaked and before it was planted. By running the water second time through the furrows. after the trees were planted, the ground was well settled about the roots and the tree given good start in life.
 With more resterS than rusilfs among the teamsters, and considera- ble work that present experience would enable us to avoid, we have still been able to bring the total cost Of team work, from the time the sage brush was standing until the orchard was planted, within Sl0 per acre.
 Many holes have been burrowed out by rats, gophers and badgers. These absorb a great deal of water, and leave the ground very uneven where they settle. This leads us to think that we made mistake in trying to rush the clearing and plant ing of q half section through in ninety days. rather than to have taken the time to settle the ground by deep cultivation and thorough irrigation before planting.
 Perhaps there are few methods Of acquiring more expensive Knowledge than for one who has been successful in some other business to assume that fruit growing is simple calling, with profits in exact proportion to acerage. and then buy his wisdom as he goes along. Ninety days ago this half section was like other sagebrush plains. Now the peach trees are in leaf and artesian water runs every where.

Beet Root Sugar.

Richard Gird in an article in the Chino Valley Champion. gives the following statistics on beet sugar, which should attract attention in Arizona:
 The annual consumption of sugar in the United States being 3.575,0oo 900 pounds, would warrant the erect ion of some 300 factories like the one at Chino estimating the output of that at l2,0OO,O00 pounds.
 This would represent the invest memt of about sl50,OOO,OOO of perma- nent capital on this coast, with saving to the country of over that amont in cash sent abroad for the purchase of foreign sugar, and a dis tribution among our farmers, laborers and mechanics of an amount equal in value to the quantity of sugar man. ufactured, probably Sl40,000,000.

Ways for Cooking Egg.

\ few drops of vinegar in the water for poached eggs makes them set prop erly and keeps the whites from spread ing.
 A squeeze of lemon improves scram- bled eggs. It should be added while they are cooking.
 Asparagus tops are nice in an ome- lette.
 Toast spread with pate foi de gras and covered with scrambled eggs is ;i fine lunch dish.
 Cold fried eggs are good for salad or may be reyamped by dipping them in fritter batter and frying.
 Fresh eggs taken from the shell and boiled in half a pint of sweet cream, seasoned with salt and pepper make a delicious breakfast dish. They should cook only two minutes in the boiling cream.
 Stewed tomatoes, grated cheese and q couple of chopped up boiled sausages make fine sauce to serve with boiled eggs.
 Any sort of an omelette can be made by the addition of either sardineS to- matoes oysters, ham. cheese. kidney, mushrooms or maccaroni, or, in fact, whatever one desires or has on hand

The Scientific American recommends this remedy for 6iphtheria: At the first indications of diphtheria in the throat of d person, make the room close. then take tin cup and pour in a quantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the room with the fumes. The patient on inhaling the fumes will cough up and spit out the membranous matter, and the diphthe- ria well soon pass of The fumes ot the turpsntine and tar loosen the matter in the throat, and thus afford the releif that has nanled the skill of physicians.

CURING ApRIcors.

 Last Thursday R F Burlington be- gan harvesting his 20-acre apricot crop south of Phoenix on Salt river. He has sixty three names on his pay roll Of men picking. sulphuring and spreading in the sun: of women and children cutting. stoning and arrang- ing in trays for the bleaching and drying process.
 MT. Harrington thinks the sun beats any eyaporator vet invented, and so spreads his golden fruit on wooden trays three feet by twenty inches in area. and one and half inches deep. These trays must be laid on the ground. and about an acre is covered with them in all stages of dessicatiom. from the bright yellow when first exposed. to the rich Cal ifornia redwood tint that indicates readiness for market.
 The cannery gets 1000 pounds a day and this makes the pickers rustic to keep the feminine cutters and spread CTS in fruit. X new splitting machine, the first introduced in this territory. dissects from 500 to 1000 pounds hourly. and removes all but 70 per cent Of the pits. The women do not like to handle this output. prefer ing to cut and stone the apricOts as they come in lOO-pound boxes fresh from the orchard. But the splitting machine saves the labor If about twenty men,
 To remove the trays from the women's shady cutting and spreading quarters, little flat ears are run on wooden rails iron shod. north. south. east and west to the sulphuring tanks, three of which are now run ming with a daily. or nightly. capacity of 10000. Two days of sun exposure like the present complete the curing, and commercial, evaporated apricots await Chicago buyers, who have already examined MT Farrington's methods and agreed to take all he can turn out. His miniature railroads dc the work of a dozen men.
 Six sounds of fresh apricots yield one pound of dried fruit. At present rates. this realizes a little over two cents per fresh pound In two weeks the south side orchard will he gathered when Mr Harrington will move these forces and machinery tc his 3O-acre apricot tract few miles west of Phoenix. -I Gazette.
