WILSON'S CROSSING.

That section of the valley east of Phoenix and south of the Maricopa & Phoenix railroad is the most thick ly settled part of the valley north of the river. In the small space of three square miles there are at least sixty families, who for the most part live on pretty little farms and garden spots. But because the people here ara small farmers and because each rancher does not put in a section Of grain every year and fatten a thou sand head or so of cattle on another section of alfalfa during the same year, and because they deal in nickel articles instead of dollar articles, is no reason they have no money and are not worthy of notice. A little to one side though it be, it is the oldest set tied part of the valley and furnishes Phoenix almost entirely with vege- tables. Other parts Of the valley dur ing the busy season twenty men will be employed on a section of land in this locality, during the busy season there will be twenty men digging. delv- ing, pruning and cleaning on twenty acres.
 It at this writing presents as pretty an aspect as can be seen anywhere in the valley. One of the principle pro ducts is strawberries. C. c. Cham bers has five acres in strawberries, from which he has secured so far this year S170 and his crop is just coming on. Of course the price will drop but not more than one-half, while his out put of bam'ies will more than double for two months to come The man who hitchas to his traction engine a great big aggregation of harvesting paraphenalia and steams off across the valley to some waving field of grain is hot the only man who makes money. But MT. Chambers is not the only man who raises berries, for there seems to be no end of berry patches, and every man, woman and child is busy picking these delicacies.
 There will be a school meeting the 14th of May to consider and in all probability to decide to build an s8000 school house.

1 This should be porous, capable Of receiving and retaining water. We
 then have a reservoir to draw from
 during the long, heated, dry season.
 In the selection of young trees for
 planting the most extraordinary care
 should be taken. Go to the nursery
 yourself and if you do not under
 stand what constitutes healthy, wig
 orous tree pay some one that does
 know to select for you. In planting, equalize roots and branches by proper
 pruning. This plan has net been sup
 planted by any better method. The idea of cutting off all roots to neutral iZe crown-knot emanates from lgnor- ance or a desire to sell diseased trees. Shallow planting is best, as that places
 the roots within reach of the proper
 elements to produce growth. Thou
 sands of trees die annually from too deep planting. Keep soil well stirred
 about your trees, otherwise you might i just as well labor in the adjoining
 section. The spade fork is the most i important implement in the orchard,
 provided gumption and muscle are back of it.
 Once in thirty days is sufficient to 1 irrigate your growing trees but this
 must be accompanied with thorough
 cultivation. Water should flow in the
 furrows at least twenty-four hours.
 Any method is commendable that gets
 the water deep into the soil. Shallow ] irrigation is productive of check 1 growth and is surely followed by i crown-knot. At the end of the first year so shape your trees that your
 main branches do not start from a common point. After that very little pruning is required. The Ne Plus i Ultra is my favorite. almond. The I.
 X. L. is an excellent bearer but not i so much desired by confectfoners as the former. Smiths seeding, prob
 ably sport from the Ne Plus Ultra is highly recommended. So far as
 my experience goes, the early bIOomers are the safest as they are in better shape for protection from March frosts The principal enemy of the al- mond is the crown-knot. I herewith l give a remedy which has proven a suc- cess with me, viz: During the last flow of sap, expose the base of the tree,
 remove knot and apply the following: To 100 pounds of sulphate of copper add twenty pounds sulphate of iron and sufficient lime and water to make a paste. Those who have spoken so freely against the almond must have
 done so through ignorance of its cul- ture. By careful investigation it has been found that there has been oniy one complete failure of almonds in fifteen years on the mesa. So this
 places the almond first as a safe ln-
 vestment. With proper smudges and
 water there is little danger from
 March frosts. As the trees grow old
 CT no ordinary frost will effect them. The Trippel almond grove this year will produce about twenty-five tons of
 nuts, notwithstanding cold weather and frosts from the 14th to the 29th of March.
 To those who doubt, the orchard Is here, open for inspection; a silent
 unanswerable authority for all state ! ments made. J. D. RENTER.

10000 PIGEONS.
Birds Of the National Fanciers' Asso
 citation at Our Service.

Baltimore, Md, April 26.-The Ma tional Association of American Hom- ing Pigeon Fanciers of the United States, whose headquarters are in this city, has offered it's pigeons, num- bering 10000 birds, to the Secretary of the Navy for use in case of war; as means of communication between warships at sea and the government. Edwin A. F. Baker, president of the association, says that the birds are all ready being put into training, and in short time will have recovered from the winter stiffness and be ready for active service. In event of war with Spain or any other maritime nation a great cause of anxiety in official cir cles will be difficulty in communicating with the warships or squadrons at sea out of reach of telegraph and in places where sending of dispatch boats vii be impracticable.
 Means of communicating naval battle or other important information by established methods under such circumstances would be totally lacking and the naval officers and the govern ment might be placed in dilemma on this account The only known method of communicating between such un- connected points is by pigeons. By this means the result of a battle two or three hundred miles at sea could be learned in a day. The birds of this city that are to be used are high-class thorcughbreds, and any one of them can make 800 miles a day. One of the birds belonging to George Natchman is the 200-mile worlds champion and worth $50

SENATOR FORAKER'S DENIAL.
Not Interested in Any Bonds Affected
 by the Cuban Question.

Washington, April 27.-Senator Foraker has written a letter to con- stituent, w. D. Bissman of Toledo, Ohio, in regard to charges that he is interested in the Cuban bonds. The letter is in reply to the following let ter, which MT. Bissman had previously written him: "A great deal of talk is making the rounds that you are heavily involved with the junta bonds and are talking for par value more than the sentiments of your best judgment"
 Replying to this Senator Foraker says: '.If any such story is being cir culated it is falsehood pure and sim pie, without the slightest shadow of truth for it's foundation. I have no interest in any junta or Cuban bonds or any other kind of bonds affected by the Cuban question, or any other interest of any kind whatsoever, di- rectly or indirectly, and never did have, and never expect to have. I did not even know that the republic ot Cuba had issued any bonds until Gen Grosvenor stated in the house of rep resentatives that there had been bonds of this character issued to the amount of 00,000,00O.
 The senate committee on foreign relations at once called before them MT. Geuerra, who is the subtreasurel of the republic of Cuba at New York and examined him supon the subject The house foreign relations committee also took testimony, the result of al which was that it was cOnclusively

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Arrangements Made for Newspaper
 Men in the Coming Conflict.

Washington, April 27-Assistant | Secretary of War Meiklejohn is giv- l ing consideration to the arrangements for newspaper men with the invading g
 army in Cuba He has not yet for
 mulated more than very general plan. It is recognized in the war de- partment that the correspondents must be provided for, and it is proposed to
 attach them to the army in some ca
 pacity. This will give them the fla cilities for transportation and pro
 vide them with certain material. They will be permitted to mess with the officers, sharing with the latter
 the personal expenses of the camp They are not likely to have official surveillance beyond the obvious contrO the commanding general would have
 over those attached, even in a personal
 capacity, to his command or his ileet They will be permitted to come and go as they please in most instances, and will be enabled to write and file dis patches at will.
 There is some talk of exercising a censorship over matter sent out from
 Cuba, as matter of confidential na-
 ture and reports of disasters would
 naturally embarrass the governfaent
 and interfere with the success of the operations on the island.
 The war department has as yet had few requests from newspaper men for duty with the column. The artists of some of the illustrated papers have put in their applications, and repre- sentatives of some of the European papers have been in Washington for that purpose.

ALMOND CULTURE.

In treating the subject of almond culture in so short an article one can only touch the most important points
 In irrigable sections orcharding is carried on by artificial means, so we must follow these lines but conform as far as possible to the laws of na- ture. We must supply by labor the results produced by freezes, angle worms, grass roots and summer rains. The first and most essential point is the selection of soil, not so much the surface, as that can be brought to proper condition, but the sub-soil.
