The practice of renting orchards tc
the Chinese is being denounced by
fruit-growers of the Pacific Coast al
one likely to cause great injury to
their business, says the American
Agriculturist. Careless growers who
have allowed their orchards to run
down or who have concluded that there
is no money in fruit-growing. have
rented their orchards to Chinese, who
from their more frugal habits and bet.
ter aptitude for continuous work are
enabled to pay good rental and still
make profit on their investment.
But the Chinese. grown fruit is inferior
in quality, the orchards are not SC
carefully cultivated. the fruit is not
thinned, for the Chinaman wants all
be can get out Of it. and as result he
forces inferior fruit upon the market,
both fresh and dried, which lowers the
caste of the whole product in his yiciu-
ity.

to where he crossed the river;
crossed the hounds over and fol-

was hid away under the floor, and
it was with great heroiBm that un-

Tough Beef.

1t has become common habit
with people to say that Arizona
raised beef is not as tender and as
good as northern raised beef.
This is true in one way only. As
a general rule we Will not buy
beef that has been killed more
than twenty-four hours, while the
eastern hatcher always keeps his
beef hanging in a cooler from four
TO twelve days before selling it to
his customers. Why? Because it
takes at least four days for the
tissue to relax and deaden and the
meat proper to take up and ac
cumulate the juice and the rich
flavor from the bone into innum-
cradle pores. This is proven by
the fact that in frying a steak
from meat only day old, it will
curl up, spatter and twist and be
tough and hard, the sinews and
tissues contract because they have
not been deadened by refr:gera-
ton as is the case with meats a
week old or over, for then they
will be juicy and tender as butter.

Copper.

Copper is advancing and pur-
chasers are increasing and demand
for copper properties are more
than encouraging. During the last
eight days three parties from the
east have dropped quitely in Tue
son on business, one of who will
no doubt make purchases. One of
the other two will return next
week with a view of securing q
working bond. A party Of three
German capitalists are expected
here next week in search of copper
and now that the price is so stead
lily advancing the demand for cop
per must increase so that owners
of copper mines have bright pros
poets before them, and Pima county
will soon be the heaviest producer
in the territory-IStdr.

Arizona A Paradise.

The Lord said he wished to show
To his erring children here below
That he had plenty in his store
For those who knocked at heavens
door.
And hence would give to some
bright land
Samples of blessings from his
right hand;
And if you think there's cause
to doubt 1T,
Just listen to how He reasoned
about it.
These gifts l can't give to the
States in the East,
The weather's too damp for both
man and beast,
And the Northern States l con-
slider together.
l made mistake when ! put up
their weather.
For in billiards and cyclones, tor
nadoes and cold,
No one can enjoy good gifts, am
told.
'Tis too cold, hence westward !
shall go,
To the land where the fig and the
orange trees grow,
For here, it is true, is a beautiful
land,
But then there's the fogs and the
dust and the sand;
And those who enjoy these gifts as
they must,
Can't do it in the sand and the fogs
and the dust.
At last reaching Arizona State
Of some size,
He decided to give her his capital
prize.
And, opening wide his bountiful
hand,
He dispersed his blessings all over
the land.
And hence we enjoy as these bless
ings of ours
Ten months in the year the most
beautiful flowers,
And nights most delightful, famed
by the breeze
That comes sweeping across her
from far over the seas.
And Italy's skies with our own
won't compare;
Nor. is her land more fertile, nor
ladies more fair;
And the grasses that grow on these
ranges of ours
Are kept beautifully green by the
sweet summer showers.
And, as we know, to enjoy our
wealth
We must first secure the bles sings
of health;
Thence we declare to the sick in
each cline
That health you can have if you
come here in time.
And now to our friends in the
East, North and West,
We want you to come here and
with us be blest;

cost more than that to bury her."-N-
