FARMERS or ARIZONA.
Fourth Annual r1eefing Of inc Agri. cultural Association.

The fourth annual meeting of the Arizona Agriculture, association began in the assembly hail yesterday morn- ing at 10 o,e,ock with very good at- tendance. An excellent display Of the products Of the valley had been ar ranged. There were fruits of every variety now in season, including pears, winter peaches and dates of two va rieties. There was a good display of olives in glass, the contribution of the Arizona Improvement company. There were large ears of field corn which had been planted in July, equal to the product of Illinois fields.
 The most interesting section was the display of dairy products by the Maricopa Creamery company and the Tempe- Mesa Produce company, tempt- ing pyramids of cheese and brick walls of golden butter. The produce com pany had submitted a great block of ice whose crystal depths revealed a beautiful bouquet of many colors and two bricks of butter.
 The meeting was opened with an earnest and eloquent address of well come by Mayer J. c. Adams, to which respofse was made by Professor c. s. Parsons, director Of the agricultural experiment. station. The first Iaper was an interesting discussion by Pro- lessor J. W. Tourney of the university upon "The Date as a Fruit for South ern Arizona"
 The afternoon session was given wholly to the subject Of the sugar L MaC 1ofa sented carefully prepared paper upon "The General Principles Under lying Sugar Beet Culture" the result of his studies and observations during the direction of experiments Of the past season in the valley.
 This was followed by a paper upon "The Conditions Esse ential to the Es- tablishment of a Sugar Beet Fac tory" by Professor R. H. Forbes. forth the history of experiments in Arizona The first indicated failure as the beets did net yield profitable per cent of saccharine matter. The German variety was next tried with varying results. The experiments were continued until 1t has been ascer- tained how beets can be raised profit ably. In the first place it has been ascertained that the German beet is best adapted to the conditions in the valley. It has been learned that he best. results attend early planting and that old alfalfa ground is much more suitable than the virgin desert soil.
 An interested listener of Professor Forbes discussion was MT. Cosmo Morgan of Los Angeles, connected with the Chino and other California beet sugar factories. MT. Morgan asked

E A PLAGUE CITY.
Havana Is Not an Admirable DweIlino
 Place.

New York, Oct. 2I-A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: An agreement between the two commis- sicns as to the date of evacuation again seems probable. The American ultimatum is January 1 and this is tnc date which was finally accepted by the Spaniards.
 Dr. Brunner forwarded to Washing ton a complete report on the mortality of Havana from January l to October Is. The figures are enough to strike terror to the heart of those contem- plating visiting the city. Hune,- caused no deaths thus far in October. but levers are still On the increase. Dr. Brunner's figures deal only with the city proper. The military hospitals in the suburbs would add materially to the totals
 In spite of tEe fact that Havana was considered practically free from yallaw fever there were eighteen deaths from that disease in July, twenty in August. twenty-three in September and seven teen in the first thirteen days os o. tober. The increase in typhoid fever is startling, as shown by the following llSc. or deaths: FIfty-Seven in June, eighty-seven in July, 127 in August, 136 in September. and sixty-nine in the first thirteen days of October. Per- nicfcus fever carried off seventeen in the first thirteen days of October, an increase Of 200 psr cent over the record of any preceding month.
 In the first thirteen days of October malarial fever caused 147 deaths, mak- ing a total since January of 625. Dys- entery is decreasing, but the total thus far for the entire year is 1,052 from en- teritis. Fever was generally caused by lack Of food and might be written, starvation" It caused 2,40S deaths. Since January POI have died as a direct result of starvation Those who have heard that Havana climate is good fer tuberculosis will be interested to learn that 2,246 have died from that disease this year.

Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, mile the second, two miles
the third, and SO on, doubling the dis
lance each time. 1t must be liberated
each time only in the same direction as
to its loft, for a bird can be trained
along only one route at time. When
40 miles have been reached, weeks
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for young birds first year.
So essential is the training that old
birds are taken only two miles out for
the first lesson of season, though they
may have flown their $50 miles the
year preceding. The end Of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, be
crowned by the accomplishment of
400 mile flight. AS you get higher in
the scale of distance. longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt
to engross the attention Of the hen,
though she is still capable of good work
when she has a mind for it.-Good

The Other Way Around.

The loyalty of the Scottish highlander
to his kilt is a picturesque thing. He
will never admit that it makes him
cold, and highlanders who were suffer
ing from cold in the ordinary dress Of
civilization have been known to substi
tute the kilt for it in order to get
warm, though this would be much like
removing ones coat and waistcoat and
rolling up ones shirt sleeves for the
same purpose.
It is said that a stranger, seeing
soldier in full highlander uniform shiv-
ering in cold wind, asked him:
"Sandy, are you cold with the kilt"
"Na, ma, mon," the soldier answered
Indignantly, "but Pm nigh kilt with
the cauld !''-Exchange.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought pro
minently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
