HERE AND THERE.

The only permanent agriculture il
that which provides not merely for
maintaining, but for increasing, the
fertility of the soil.
The farmer must know what his
land will grow to the best advantage
under existing conditions, and he must
carefully adapt his means to this end.
Never attempt to grow flowers in
entire shade. Few. if any, viii do well.
Pansies VIM do pretty well, and even
they are improved by little sunshine.
Each field on the farm is fitted for
special use the coming year. Consider
the soil, the rotation and the needs of
the proposed crop, and then you can go
ahead with safety.
The system which increases fertil-
ity naturally improves the yield each
year, and puts the soil in such me-
chanical condition that it is less likely
to be injured by drought or excessive
rainfall
The time will come when every
aock-master will just as regularly sow
some food every spring to provide pas
ture for his sheep as he will sow seed
to provide food for them in winter.
There viii be brighter day for sheep
then.
If you have not time to shelter
your sheep in summer or winter, when
ever they need it, you have not time to
raise sheep. No man can afford to
bury his lambs in premature graves
when he might have kept them by ex-
ercising.

OVERSEEING.
A Subject that Farmers Can Not Give Toe
Much Attention To.

A Subject that Farmers Can Not Give Too
Much Attention To.
The seeds of diversity are being sown
broadcast. What will the harvest be?
The idea is not new one. The writer
who advocates it now only expresses
thoughts that have occurred to thou
sands of farmers for many years. The
cotton conventions, organizations and
the influence of the press did not reduce
the acreage in 1895, but the cheap price
in 1894 did. 1t is to be hoped the same
cause will reduce it in 1898. The farm
er who complains of spectators, middle
men, trusts, transportation charges,
and lack of circulating medium, can
in a measure dodge these real or
imaginary monsters by producing at
home as nearly everything consumed
as practical. But after he has done
this he is compelled to produce
some one more of the staples that are
non-perishable and have universal
market as a money crop. Sooner or Ia
ter he must have the services of the
grocer, hardware and dry goods mer-
chant, the druggist; lumber man, car
penter, blacksmith, teacher. preacher,
lawyer, editor and doctor; they demand
money and not barter for their serv-
ices and wares. He must eithetdo with
out these conveniences of y higher civ
ilization or continue to pay tribute to
aggregated wealth, skill and knowledge.
Between the two he is at liberty to
take his choice. Too much diversity
is as bad as too little. Chickens,
eggs, butter, fruits and garden
truck are o. k. for family use, but they
win not pay rents, interest or taxes,
nor bring the wherewith without q
market. A few favorably located can
afford to create this market, but the
bulk of farmers must continue to de-
pend upon the livestock and staple
crops adapted to their several localities
as money-getters- Seasons, acreage and
consumption being unknown qusnti-
ties, future prices are in the dark; so
cent wheat, 2O-cent oats, 17-cent corn.

There are those who would think it
both fooolishness and sin to whip a
jaded animal, yet who fail to reason
that the principle is the same in try

the required work is lacking. With
thriving, well-rooted plants, there are

CASA eRAspE RESERVOIR.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the territory. It covers a surface of 16O0 acres with an aver age depth of F feet, and contains about eight thousand million gallons of water. It is sit- uated fifteen miles southwest of Florence. A levee of earth has been thrown up across a depression in the plain IL 900 feet in length. l25 feet in width at the bottom and g feet in width at top, to 1 slope on each side, and an average height of 2 feet. The waste is rcgu- lated by cast iron pipes feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost $1J0, 900, and sup niles water for 0.G0O acres.

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai counties, and contains an area of 5, ,S88s 8square miles. or B. 5,520 acres, one-third of which could bc made productive by Q systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most fm- portant agricultural county in the Territory. 1t it traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad, and a branch of the great Santa Fe system is now approach ing from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific is also building in this direction from Teinpe,and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and connection is made with another branch of that road run ming from Bowie to Globe and now complet- ed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the thcater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of year Florence, the county seat will be

In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York; The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees At nearly all times there is a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days.

THE CASA eRAnDE VALLEY CANAL

6O,O00 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. 4 reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6. range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of a huge reservoir at the Buttes,
 fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.
