A NEW GRAIN FOR FARMERS.

A new grain which will be offered to American farmers this spring is called splitz. For centuries past it has been grown in a limited way in Eastern Russia, near the Caspi- an Sea, it's value not being known to the agriculturists of the civilized world. Six years ago an emigrant from there brought some to this country, and has been growing it since. A prosperous America" farmer who lives near him secured sufficient eeed from him to SOW five acres two years ago, and was sur prised at the large crop. Last year it again produced 8 large crop yielding more than barley or oats
 He says that under the same cir cumstances it will produce double as much as barley. He has been feeding the grain quite extensively this winter. The grain is inter mediate between wheat and barley, the spikele's being separated from each other in such manner that the crop is not readily injured by the weather. The chaf adheres to the grain when threshed. We believe it will prove of much value for milling, as well as for feeding
 It will grow well and produce inn mense crops on poor soil, and the dry weather appears to have nc effect on it. Botanically it is known as Triticum speIta, and is supposed to be the grain grown IT Egypt at the time of Moses.-Er.

ARIZONA is an empire in area and sn its creation the treasurer of the earth were lavished in proportion to it's other grand immensities. To speak of Arizona as the Hand of sunshine and silver" is to impart a contracted idea of it's magnificent endowments and resources. Egypt, Babylon and Rome might have drawn their splendors of gold and marvels of silver from the banks of the San Juan and the walls of the Colorado. The fires of Vesuvius might burn for centuries from the coals which Arizona holds in her searny ribs. Forges and furnaces of the world might glow and seethe from now until the millennium on her stores of copper and iron The cities of nation might build from her forests and euaries. When her agricultural possibilities are developed, the nations of the earth might feed from her granaries, and -he stricken of all races find restora- tion in the balm of her climate This is Arizona, with g balance still .a her credit-Citizs~

THE grand progress which mark

THE grand progress which marks the organization of new irrigation enterprises, the success which has attended the raising of sufficient capital to carry them forward to completion, and the wonderful re- suits, thus far obtained in irrigat- ing our rich valleys and mesas, heretofore supposed to be only desert wastes, are proofs of the great strides which Arizona is mak- ing in the development of one Of her latent natural resources. The time is not far in the future when the traveller, the passerby will see the long stretches of our orange, lemon and llme groves, forests of our figs and olives, gardens of berries and small fruits, and on the higher attitudes fields of apples, pears, plums and cherries and in our southern valleys wide areas Ol the pineapple, coccanat banana and other like fruits"

COLORADO RIVER VALLEY LANDS.

Not within the limits of the United States can there be found a section of country having as many natural advantages for pros- porous and desirable settlement as are possessed by the rich bottom lands of this large valley. From Yuma to the head of steamboat navigation, a distance of nearly 400 miles to the north, on either side of the river are to be found many choice locations for settle mont. As we ascend the Eiver from Yuma, here and there are feep hills CT mountlets extending to tbe edge of the river. thus destroying the continuity of the arable lands, but of no detriment therGto- South ward from Yuma the bottom l"ud is continuou. to the rirer's m"uth- the head of the gulf. The soil diff fers in it's composition in different parts of the valley. In the lowest of the bottoms there IS more of clay and less of mica, yet but very little is of the adnbe variety, so that nothing IS to be apprehended from irrigation. as to the surface baking
 The most rational plan of settle ment of these fertile lands is in and by colonies, whereby the expenses ofirrigating and beginning would be much reduced.
 The adaptation of soil aad eli mate to rice, cotton, sugar cane, grapes, alfalfa, etc, assures safe investments in providing the re- quisite materials for the proper cultivation of these lands. The county of Yuma embraces a large percentage of these segregated tracts, and its present railroad con nection wiSh almost all of the States of the Union, must early materially contribute to it's rapid settlement, when these paradisical garden spots will be made to blossom as the rose. and what has for so long been a wilderness shall become the most attractive as we'll as the most pro- ductive part of all our great national domain.

Who rides SO closely at my side,
Adown the dlsky twIlight-iand?
What bold highwayman, hoiiow-eyed.
With vizor black, and steaithy hand?
Each night he cometh unawares,
Or bright the stars, or dark the sky;
He heareth naugft of tears or prayers;
No threat avails. nor piteous sigh.
Gold hath not lured him to the strife;
For treasure-store he doth not bide;
But of that boon called human life
HE cries, relentlessly. "Divlde!'
Give of that precious sa,erdon-time.
The hours when thou wouldst labor
And weave thy slender thread of rhyme
Into the wool Of human song.
How changed thou art Oh, robber grim,

Nor felt the iron ncdth thy glove.
