PRODUCTIONS.

Being in the latitude of Persia with similar cii- mate, it is not unreasonable to infer that there should be close relation in productions. Of the cereals all do equally well. On the alluvium along the river, from 10 to 50 bushels of wheat per acre be raised and proportionately of oats and bar ley. Corn can be grown if planted very early or very late. Sorghu.r and the true cane grow very luxuIiantly. Gotten becomes perennial, plants in Yuma having grown from seeding twelve years in succession. The lint may be gathered con tinually from June to January. The castor bean grows into miniature trees, and are as long lived many of the ornamental trees of more northern attitudes. Hemp is indigenous along the Colorado river, its fiber being of good quality. Rame will do equally well as hemp, and the time will come when it's cultivation will become an important in dustry. The same may be said of flax and tobacco.
 It is in the realm of the goddess Pomona where the infinite riches Of this country will be found. All the citrus fruits are at home in Yuma. The orange, the lemon and the lime make fragrant with blossom and fruit all the days of the year, ani such oranges lemons and Hines as grow where else ia the United States. Mexico and the islands of the sea do not produce finer oranges; in size; flavor and color, they are simply perfect
 
 finer grow. The lime is as large juicy and purely acid those of Acapulco, Mexico, from whence those for the California market largely come.
 The date grows as rapidly and healthy as in Per sia or Arabia, and will in time become an import ant tree for its fruit and ornamental purposes. The long-lived olive is at home here, and will add it's contingent of oil and pickles to the wealth of the land. From April to December the fig may be gathered in perfection from the tree All the pit ted fruits whose abitat is Persia grow with an . abandonment of grace and beauty unknown else where.
 What shall we say of the endless grape family that ripen here more than a menth in advance of any locality Morocco, Spain, France nor Hungary, which have sent their finest varieties, cannot surpass Yuma. For productiveness, size and flavor, our grapes uneXcelled.
 The list of production already given, although long, might be extended indefinitely, for every thing native to the semi tropics may be added. This, however, is not necessary, for in those al ready mentioned are noted possibilities of luxury and wealth for those who settle in this virgin country

After you get angry and stop your paper, says an exchange, just poke your finger into water, pull it out and look for the hole. Then you will know how sadly you are missed. A man who thinks a paper cannot thrive without his support ought to go off and stay while. When he comes back half his friends will not know he has gone and the other half will not care a cent, while the world at arGe kept no account of his move ments. You will find things you cannot endorse in every paper. Even the Bible is rather plain and hits some hard raps.

 canals, bitches
 and Reservoirs.

The above cst illustrates an AUToM aTIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subiection the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along its line Where there Ravines, Gullies, Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, Tabelaid, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal, at short intervals of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged condi ion of canal and while such repair are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened, as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end Of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, 3, which is immediately filled thus overbalancng the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below certain ievel, no more water is admitted to the tank; therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, g. at the bottom; this being done the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in teryals, so long as the body of water keeps rising over certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on a hori- zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what safety valve is to steam They be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

Railroads of the Country.
Washington, Dec ,N.-The Interstate
commerce cocclAi,s1on has just issued
preliminary report on the income
and expenditures of railways in the
United States for the year ending
June 80, 1894, prepared by it's stats
tician. The report contains the re-
turns from $40 operating companies
whose reports were filed on or before
Nov. %, 1894, and covers the opera
tons Of 1S9,55921 miles of line, OF
about s. per cent of the total operated
mileage in the United States. The
gross earnings from the operation of
the 1S9,55e.21 miles of line repre-
sented were $949.639,975, of which
$500, 137, 142 were from passenger ser
vice. $617,959, 1913 was from freight
service and $22,42O,299 were of the
earnings from operation, covering re-

switching charges, etc. The operating
expenses were $S43, 42S, 331, leaving
net earnings of $306, 21O,734. Reduced
to mileage basis the earnings for

PROBING the My.tery OF Ether.

The bequest Of $4,000 which the,
late Robert Stanton Avery left in his
will to the Smithsonian institution for
lectures and treatises upon and CON
corning those mechanical laws which
govern ethereal mediums might appear
at first blush to be the testamentary
whim Of a very ethereal parsonage
The value OF this scientific legacy, how
ever, may prove incalculable from the
standpoint Of Americas position in
the world of science. The mystery Of
ether-that unknown, hypothetical me-
dunn for all the waves Of heat, light,
sound, magnetism and electri lies
at the bottom Of the secret Of nature,
and the Avery endowment may yet be
the incentive to original research which
shall take mankind a step nearer to
the sources Of world energy and force
transmission. Philad elphia Record.

Decision on Minnesota's Right
Thereto Hangs Fire.
Washington. Dec 11.--'rhe decision
which was prepared several months
ago in the Office of the commissioner
of the general land office touching the
right of the State of Minnesota to
swamp and school lands within the
Indian reservations recently coded, is
hung up in the office of the secretary
Of the interior. Commissioner Lamor-
euX has passed upon the matter, but
as there is no right of appeal in such
cases. he has followed a usual practice
in sending it over to the secretary for
his consideration before signing it, so
that if there is difference of opinion
it may be settled before the matter is
decided. The decision has been in the
hands Of the secretary for number
of weeks. This is the matter which
Senator Davis insists mast be settled
before Maj. Baldwin's bill for the dis
position of the Chippewa pine is
passed. Sci ator Davis wants a def
mite assurance from the interior de-
partment that the rights of the state
are conceded and will be respected
before the bill is allowed to become a
law.

Handling Manure on Prairie Farms
s-Cabbages> in Wfnter-Ru1es for
Milking Sheds-Market Gardening.

The necessity for more carefully Look
ing after the manures made on farms
of the central West is more apparent
each year. During the summer, when
most Of the stock is on grass, this
problem is not difficult, for all the ex-
crement is left in the fields. But as
the winter is coming on every farmer
ought to make some provision for TAX
ing care OF all barnyard manure pro
duced on his farm. To the man who
has basement barn with a passage
way on the bottom floor into which the
stall cleanings can be dumped and
Where hogs can root them over, thor
oughly mixing the mass and preventing
unGue heating, the problem is easy,
Tor there is no loss from teaching,
and the nitrogen Zone Of the most val
liable eiements) is not lost. Such ma
nure will not fre-fang.
But the majority of Westerners do
not have this convenience The manure
as it is taken from the stable is either
thrown into a heap beside the barn or
hauled directly to the field. Both meth
ods nave serious faults. The pile in the
yard, If hogs do not get to it, is badly
injured from undue fermentation,
which drives off the ammonia. Excess
slve wet weather teaches out tile solu-
Die and most valuable elements. If
hauled directly to the field much of the
material used for bedding will be of
no value as q manure for some time
because it is undecomposed Winter
rams also tend to leach out and carry
on soluble matter while the ground is
frozen and unable to absorb it, although
this loss is very small on all except
hlllsldes, that work badly.
A good method Of treating manure
Is to provide a shelter for it, making
the shed SO hogs can be turned in to
mix It, cheap shed, or a Iean-to,
will keep off the teaching rains. Ar
range the hog-pen so it can be connect
ed with this she'd. After cleaning the
stables, let the hogs in for half a day
or so. Have the bottom of the shed q
little lower than the surrounding sur
race, as this will prevent the escape of
liquid manure. Sometimes the heap
Is disposed to become too dry. Remove
few boards from the roof and let

OF course this is not as convenient as
the basement barn, but it is vastly ST.
perior to the common practice and does
not require much extra labor or ex-
penSe.
