TrOOps-Nine People Killed I'm
Arizona Last Week.

FORT GRANT, A. T.. Dec. S.-The party
of White mountain Apache Indians
missing from the camp on the San Carlos
reservation and which is supposed to have
murdered MerriH and his daughter near
Solomonvlle three days ago, was arrested
and brought into San Carlos agency late
last night by detachment of Captain
Bells troop of the Seventh Cavalry and
the Indian police. The party consisted of
seven men and a boy, all mounted and
heavily armed, two of them carrying cav
airy carbines that fit the identical bullet
which brought Merrill and his daughter
to their untimely end. The Indians claim
to have been hunting in the mountains
near Fort Thomas, and the fifty miles from
these mountains to the ella Bonita valley
in which Merrill and his daughter were
killed is only step for these willy Apaches
They are being held under guard at San
Carlos for further investigation, but there

at Fort Thomas reports having seen q
party of six or seven Indians near the trail
leading to the valley m which the killing
took place. Evidently tlf-so are the same

able supplement to winter pastures, and
in some sections it forms the chief
winter food of the cattle. This variety
of Arundinaria requires moist and some
what sandy land for it's growth At
tempts wh1cn have been made to Guilt
vate it, have not been successful. There
are large number of foreign species of
Arundinaria, and the one referred to as
dong well In California, is doubtless
one Of these. My only information in
regard to the California plant, is an ar
ticle bv Mr.. w. A. Saunders, of Reed
ley, California, published in the Sacra-
mento Record Union" Mr.. Saunders
speaks of the plant in glowing terms as
great producer of ''tender, succulent,
nutritious, palatable, milk-producing
cow feed" He says further: 81 have
not fed my COWS, young stock, nor in
deed anything but my teams, one pound
of hay for five years. When frosty
weather begins, I simply turn them on
roots will thrive wherever corn will grow.
All one has to do to get start of them,
is to get bale of the stocks; then make
cuttings Of two joints in length, and set
them the whole length in the ground
They will grow on dry land or thew will
absorb more water and manure than
any other plant; and when so treated,
they solve the problem of the greatest
amount of feed from the smallest
ground" just what varieties of
Arundnaria Mr.. Saunders has, do not
know: nor do l know from whom he
produced his first plants. There is no
question about the possibility OF grow
ing or cultivating these canes in Flo
rida. A large number of the Arundin8
have been grown as ornamental plants
in the Gulf States, and some attempt
has been made to grow certain kinds for
their stalks, which are used in the manu-
! facture Of furniture of various kinds.
The common BAN boo, Bambusa vul-
garis, is aspecies usually grown for this
purpose.
CHAs, w. DALENEY,
Assistant Secretary.
Mr.. A. Duncan, o. Keen, Fla, in
writing of this plant says:

description of the plant it might be the

two or three weeks, after which the
older ones die. The young locate about
the parents as closely as they can store
themselves, and they also mature and
become mothers in ten or twelve days,
and are as prolific as their predecessors.
They thus increase so rapidly that as
fast as new leaves expand colonies are
ready to occupy them. AS the season
advances some of the females acquire
wings, and, dispensing. found new colo
MES on other trees. When cold weather
approaches, males as well as females are
produced, and the season closes with the
deposit of stock of eggs for the con-
tinuance of the species another year.
When newly born the apple aphis is
almost white, but soon becomes of a
pale, dull, greenish yellow. The ma
| ture females are generally without wings
their bodies are oval in form, less than
one-tenth of an inch long, of a pale yell
lowish-green color, often striped with
deeper green, The eyes are black, honey
tubes green, and there is short, tail
like appendage of black color.
1.-The winged females and males are
very similar in color. The head, thorax
and antenn@ are black with the neck
usually green. The abdomen is short
and thick, with an oval form a9d bright
green color, with row Of black dots
along each side; the hectares and tail
like appendage are black; the wings are
transparent with dark-brown veins.
'Most of the insects belonging to this
family are provided with two little tubes
or knobs, which PROJECT, one on each
side from the hinder part of their bodies
these are called honey-tubes, or necta-
ries, and from them is secreted IN con-
siderable quantities a sweet fluid. This
fluid falling upon the leaves and evap-
Grating gives them shiny appearance,
as if coated with varnish, and for the
purpose of feeding on this sweet deposit
which is known as honey-dew, different
species of ants and flies are found visit
ing them. Ants also visit the colonies
of aphides, and stroke the insects with
their antenn@ TO induce them to part
with some of the sweet liquid which is
greedily slipped up. This fluid is said
to serve as food for day or two to the
newlyborn young
"The leaves of trees infested by these
insects become distorted and twisted
back wards, often with their tips pressing
against the twig upon which they grow,
and they thus form a covering for the
aphides, protecting them from rain. An
infested tree may be distinguished at
some distance by this bending back of
the leaves and young twigs."
To destroy the plant lice the trees
should be sprayed. Almost any of the
insecticides on the market will answer
A cheap and effective one is to boil a
pound or two of tobacco stems in gal.

Tobacco dust will also often rid plants
of this pest.
