A man from Boston with a black wallet in his hand stopped at a min eral water fountain to sip a drink.

POULTRY IN ARIZONA.
An intelligent ilevIew ofn Most Profitable
 Industry.

thoroughbred poultry Of Arizona. ke- ally, there is very little to be said on the subject. Arizona has not reached that stage of development where there is any active interest in the thorough bred. unless 1t be in the section of country surrounding Phoenix where there has been an awakening to the merits of thoroughbred cattle and horses. Poultry Is neglected, not withstandlng the receipts from this source figure as an important item of the farmers income Fanciers are few and widely scattered. and there Is no organization to further the in- terests of poultry breeding.
 There are many obstacles TO dis courage the breeding of high class poultry here. The cost of establish ing yard of fowls of any pure breed is twice as much as in the east. owing to the great distance one is compelled to send for first class stock, and the exorbItant rates of express. The wri- ter has paid as high us S24.50 express age on trio of fowls from Chicago. and s5. i6 on package of eggs two settings from which one chicken hatched. There is little interest talk cn in fancy chickens, a provoking want of appreciation of their merits over the common fowls. and ignorance of what constitutes value in speci- men. One scoring 75 points is of equal value in the eyes of people here, with one scoring 05, and they can't under stand why the first should be worth only 5O cents and the latter S20 or S3O. The people must be educated in the poultry fancy before any demand can be expected. at remuneratiye prices, for thoroughbred fowls. He must be an enthusiast, indeed, therefore, who will embark in the breeding Of fancy poultry, as there Is no hope of making pay, nor chance of winning prizes at poultry shows.
 The production of chickens and eggs for market offers better field, 1T which considerable money could b' made in some sections of the territory The only drawback is that the market is limited and easily oyerstocked Around Phoenix. Tempe and Mesa, II the Salt and Gila river valleys. th' great agricultural region of Arizona is the most desirable location for | poultry aud egg farm Live chickens sell for Sg to S7 per dozen. and eggs a an average price of twenty-five cent the year round, and phenix being thu capital and principal town of the ter ritory. with population of 1000 t 5000. is very fair market Land available for poultry can be had at reasonable figure and grain is cheal in the fall wheat, $l per hundred an' barley 60 to D cents. The climate il winter Is very mild and in the sun mer. hot, so hot that chickens requir less food and shelter than m th north.
 Indeed where one has q good hel of alfalfa with running water an large range. chickens requires littl feeding or attention during te months of the year. Alfalfa is

Ten-Aere orchardlsts.

The ten-acrc and tweDty-acre or chardlsts of Salt River valley are about the most independent people on earth. They have good houses, neat barns. some choice poultry, an income ranging from Sl,0O0 to I,OOO per year, work enough to keep them from getting the g0ut, and still time enough to go fishing once in while, or spend a week or ten days at the sei. coast when they think they need a change of air. Ifyou notice smiling, good-natured looking couple riding along our beautiful country roads, q perfect picture of contentment and enjoyment. ten to one it is a ten-acre orchardist and his wife. These hun dred acres worry fellows more or less, unless they want to start bank, and then they worry more yet Gazette.
 A narrow-minded and selfish man has no business on earth among liber- al hearted men who are able to recog- nize in every movement that builds up towns, that broadens the scope oi civilization, that develops the resour- ces of the hills and valleys. something worthy of commendation. The world should be thankful that as the years roll by. the number of shriyeled up squeamish, puerle freaks of human
 ity, who were born in contracted groove are growing smaller. There are some of them left in this neigh
 borhood. but they are slowly but sure ly drawing near the place where they should have been long ago, and where they will best benefit the communit, they have so long and previously wrongcd.

Rabbits Of Many Kinds.

In America no game law limits the
sport of hunting rabbits. The ordinary
gray rabbit Of the fields is shot, trapped,
or shared, from the beginning of the
year to its end, except that there is an
unwritten law known to schoolboys and
sportsmen, that rabbits are not good
eating in the summer season. In the
northern ATTITUDES, the hares turn brown
In summer, and change to light gray in
winter. This is supposed to be pro-
tective providence that helps them to
amalgamate with their surroundings, and
so escape slaughter.
Rabbits appear to be native to nearly
all climes. The rabbit fancier has list
which includes Dutch rabbits, Hima-
layans, Africans, the little Polish rabbit,
the Belgian, the Angoras, the silver.
grays, silver-browns, black rabbits,
white rabbits and an endless lot of names
and nationalities. Besides these there
are the rabbits with personal cognomens,
such as the dew-lap, the lop-eared and
the dwarf rabbit. These are all fancy
rabbits, not half as good for eating
purposes as the wild ones with their
distinct nutty flavor. But these prize
rabbits cost all sorts of fancy prices, a
single one selling as nigh as sl00.--

used, there being nothing on which to
base calculations. From careful analy.

to this the crop was the heaviest since
1872. Having such an enormous yield
they were unable to pack them all down,
