The Arizona sentinel., 1895-07-13

got twenty sacks or barley 10 the acre, and raised any amount of vegetables, and the barley he is able to keep and has several carloads,
 Next season he will put fifteen acres in figs, and will make his l60 tract, by gradation, into big alfalfa farm. Mr. Ryan harvests his barley and wheat before hot weather comes, and others can do the same.
 Land with water privilege in the Mohawk valley at $1O an acre is as the saying goes "dirt cheap" and there is no question but this will be a great country, and the clouds of un- belief and too many arrangements are like the long lane having turn. BUENA VISTA,
 Is the appropriate name of the L. B. Clark estate, which encompasses $40 acres at the center of Mohawk valley The residence, occupying a gently rising eminence, IS seen for many miles, and from it's verandas glorious views of the spreading valley, and nigh and distant ranges of mountains even in the pioneer days are enchant- ing The views will become more and more beautiful as Clarke and other men of goaheaditiveness add mans handiwork to Nature.
 Of the GAO about l50 acres are in cultivation including eighty in alfalfa, sixty barley, about dozen in sorg- hum and four in sugar beets IL is worthy of special note that Mr. Clarke put in his barley on the Doth of February, sowing 50 pounds to the acre, and he harvested on the first of June, and although not thrashed it is very evident he will secure away over twenty sacks to the acre
 The entire place of GAO acres IS un- der fence and doubly fenced into tive great fields. He is now buying steers, putting them on alfalfa and moving them from field to field He will add a small flock of sheep for the Buena Vista table and when he has more time will add piggary which will have the best bred porkers secur- able.
 Mir. Clarke Is great admirer of good stock, and in his herd has some very handsome and valuable regis tered thoroughbred shorthorns. In horse flesh he has several grandsons and daughters of the Wilkes and Hambletonian families, but for work stock he has a grand lot of mules which he discovers better as to clim- ate and work.
 About mile and 8 half from Brena Vista, and on the main high way, which leads to Yuma, Is one of
 THE DORRINGToN RANCHES with GAO acres all enclosed, and l75 in cultivation. The wells on the place range from ten to fifteen feet and give unlimited quantities of pure water.
 The primitive and hospitable ''dobie" has great shades surrounding, and is near the gate, where cheery words are coming and going all the time. The big Darlington alfalfa fields are being utilized as feeders fer about 300 hogs, and the pIggeries ex- eel any fair ever visited, as the differ ent pens give exhibit to piggies one day old, two days week and so on in different apartments, so that the population of 300 is not the latest census. The porkers are beiug grad ed up with we'll bred Berkshires and long shouts and razor-backs will soon give way to aristocratic jowl and rotund body.
 The manager of Darlington ranch Mo- 1, IS Col. I. w. Knight, a knight of "ye olden tyne" He is not only a ''forty-niner" but he has ran from wheelbarrow to steamer, and a con- misSary to gold mine in California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
 The Darlington ranch 1 understand will keep up with the procession in improvements if capital and enter prise can do it and they can and will.
 About six miles then intervenes when
 THE LINDLEY RANCH Is reached The GAO acres are leased in two halves by o. Wartman, a canadian gentleman, and s. B. Hines who has had goodly experience in Nevada. Mir. Wartman is raising now about 600 Berkshire and Poland Chiua hogs with alfalfa and grain, and claims the idea of feeding alfalfa alone is preposterous. He and his men arc intelligent and gentlemanly and instead of buffoonery 1t IS a pleasure to listen to converse tions pertaining to agriculture, horticulture, stock and the world at large. In such a manner they spend the night after the arduous labors of the day, and retire with peace and good will to all men. More anon.
