! ing a balanced ration as anything i known-that is as any one thing. That 1 being true, naturally our cows need
 never be hungry. This feed, combined 1 with sorghum for a part of the year, and the fresh green grain fields for the
 winter months, with plenty of hay at all seasons leaves little to be desired for the highest prOdUctiveness at the least cost. Then to give impetus to the business comes the fact that we are surrounded in our own territory with a market, which as yet we are in no wise able to supply.
 Realizing these many advantages a few of our most progressive farmers on either side the river have combined to profit by these conditions. For some five years the Tempe-Mesa Pro- duce company has been in successful operation and as a result thousands of dollars have gone to enrich our people.
 Less than three years ago was or ganized our local concern known as the Maricopa Creamery company, which has been in successful operation for the past two years It is organized upon a cooperative basis, the stock in the main being held among the farm CTS and dairymen. By hard work and careful management the beginning of "a great industry in our valley has been put upon a solid business basic. The milk producers have been treated fair ly and at the same time the stockhold- CT has realized a small per cent for the use of his money. In the meantime trade has been secured which far ex- ceeds the productive capacity of the present herds to supply. There is no question but that the man who goes into the dairy business and handles 1t with business sense, such as is neces- sary for success in anything, will real ize handsomely upon his investment, whether that investment be brains and specialized skill, careful, conscl- entious labor for another. or the cap1- tai of the investor seeking fair in terest upon his money in perfectly safe business.

HONEY PRODUCTION

(By J. Webster Johnson, Secretary Salt River Valley Honey Producers Association, Tempe, ATiz)
 Many years ago some of the early settlers of this fertile valley brought with them when they came here, CT had shipped to them soon after, 9 few colo nies of bees. They were men who had kept bees in their old hCnes where they had come from and they thought that the conditions here were favora bIe for beekeeping. At that time there was but little alfalfa growing in the valley and it's vaiUe as a honey prD ducing plant was not fully knU%n and appreciated but the whale country was covered with a heavy growth of mes quite, which yields honey in iargs quantities and of the very best quality. These men did well with their bees and as fast as possible they increased the number of co!oGies. There was a splendid market at good prices fer all honey produced right here at homo and in the surrounding mining camps. Other men saw that there was money to be made in the production of honey, so new apiaries were started and lu-

miliar with his trees as the 1urtman
 with his horses Constant study and
 observation is the only road to sue cess. By the authority of expert testi-
 mony this valley claims superiority
 over the California product in the fol-
 lowing points: Color, plumpness of kernel and flavor. The tree under proper care is a rapid grower and is a
 bearer at three years. The leading
 varieties are the Ne Plus Utra lpaper shelD, I. X. L. (soft shelD, and Arizona Prolific (hard shelD. So far the ]. x. | L. stands at the head of the list.
 There are no insect pests to affect the
 growth or bearing. The only draw
 backs are crown-knot and March frosts. Both are under the control of the orchacdist. The former is more or less the result of the haphazard meth eds so common throughout the valley. Ignorance has left footprints ali about
 us and would stamp out horticultural
 enterprise if left to it's management. It has been practically proven that the effects of March frosts can be counter acted by the use of smudge fires, insur- ing each year a crop.
 Our trees are still young yet several carloads went into the eastern market and their superior quality has opened market that will readily take all that may be grown alt the highest market price. In many sections Of the valley the soil is perfectly adapted to the almond. Porosity of soil is the first requisite, which is also true of all the fruits. Tn the cultivation no mathe- nautical rule can be laid down. There are certain elementary principles that are essentials in all plant growth. These principal from the foundation intelligence dCss the rest. Because man can gee and haw' through q corn field does not make him an orchardist. The best results in California have been achieved by men from the prOfes- SIons and the counting rooms. There Is an open field fer this class with everything in favor of successful re- suits. Whenever this class takcs hold the dawn of a new era is upon us and horticulture will take the learl

which naturally did not help in estab-
 fishing the new market that We were seeking. It'xas promptly decided by the association that no more honey would be shipped in coal oil cans, and arrangements were made to supply shippers with new cans ct moderate cost by getting them in carload lots. Our honey is all shipped in fve-gallCn cans, two cans in a case. The first year CEe car of HOO cases was more than enough for the seasons s crop Now four to five carloads of l 300 to l,J00 cases each are used in Q season. This shows the increased production that mas taken place. From the first year when two cars were shipped the pro dllcticT has gradually increased until in the season of 1896 twenty-Eine car loads containing 750, 900 pounds of honey lsft this valley for the large markets of the east-Chicago New York, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Boston, etc In the years ot 1897 and 1898 the total product fell some shCrt of the yield Of 1886. being about 500, 900 pounds each year. The lighter production of these two seasons was caused by the late frosts injuring alfalfa so that the first crop did not bloom and by the early cutting of alfalfa by the farmers be- fore 1t was out in bloom.
 Although this industry is not very large compared with some others, still it is in many respects all ideal one,

THE UNITED VERDE.

A story of Jerome without mention of the United Verde Copper company would be like the Old Testament with out reference to Moses. While Lhe town itself had a name (but no place on tho map) in the prc-c0ppcr com pany days. which was derived from the Jerome brothers, who originally hailed frtm the Empire state, and were one time owners of what afterwards be-
 came the nucleus of the copper con- pany's present property, no one eTer made Q go" of the mines. Copper is not a poor mans mine. It takes money to develop it, and plenty of it. There was little money in Jerome and outside capital was solicited. Various eminent experts came, investigated, and reported adversely on the prop erty- They said 1t could never be made a paying proposition. Finally William Andrew Clark of Butte the present junior United States senator from Mop 1ana, heard of the Jerome copper claims. He came down here bringing with him Joseph l.. GirOUX, Rne of his mine foremen. A bond was &lken on the property and in few eunthS the deal was cCnsummAted. Rbout fifteen miners were put at work, a fifty-ton water jacket furnace erect ed and the shipment of copper matte was instituted, 1t beiMB hauled out by

the hardy miner and prOspectGr, for rlany years, and it is matter of rec ord that the white man invaded this region centuries ago. For over a cen tury and a half following the eXplorn- tion of Espejo, who came out from the Santa Barbara mission in California, quiet reigned in the Black Hills and along the sluggish Verde. The natives were left in absolute and undisturbed possession.
 The wonderful development Of the Atlantic shore of the continent. the revolutionary war, the gradual re- lirquishment of Spanish, French and English possessions filled the public eye and gave employment to the men who were founding the nation, tc' the exclusion of the far distant and for bi1ding west. But to the saYa9eS it was a retreat and welcome refuge. as inch by inch they were driven back from the Allegheny, the AdirondaeNs, the Ohio, the Mississippi, and at last fl om the Great Muddy"
 Later on the attention of our gov ernment was turned westward. More territory had to be provided for our in creaSing population.

creased as fast as possible, and 90 it has continued until the few colonies
 brought acrcss the deserts in early days have increased and multiplied un- til there are now in the valley probably not less than S,nGG colonies Of bees.
 The mesquite, which originally sup piled most of the honey, has been g-ad- ually cleared eff to make way for the farmer and Tanchor unlil now the yield from that source is very small, bus s.s mesquite has disappeared alfalfa has been soWn and so good q honey pro ducing plant has it proven to !'e that it far outranks the disappearing mes quite. When alfalfa is allowed b stand until it gets into full bloom it yields a large amount of honey, but unfortunately for the beekeep5r the tendency among ranchers the past few years has been to cut the alfalfa before it gets into good bloom.
 Bees get a little honey from wild desert bloom, fruit bloom and the blossoms of shrubs and bushes that grow along ditch banks and on the

river bottom, but the amount obtained
 from these sources is comparatively
 very small. so that ! may say that
 practically all OI- surplus honey comes from alfalfa.
 As I have already said there was at first a good home demand for all haney pI cduced her;, but as the number of colonies increased and with that the production of honey, tho time came several years ago when the supply was in excess of the demand and other markets; had to be found. Being SD far from the eastern markets it was dp- parent that 1t would be necessary to ship in carload lots and in order to do this it was necessary for the hOnsy producers to cooperate, hence the or ganizatiOn of an association of beemen. The first season, 1 believeb there were but two carloads of about 18,000 pounds net of honey in each shipped
 Considerable trouble was experi- enced before this was all sold. pattIy because this kind of honey wus not then known in the eastern nlarlals and partly because it was not pu- up in the best shape, owing to our inexnGri- l ence. At that time most of the eX tracted honey was put up in empty coal l oil cans which had been cleaned. Some | producers did not get their cans thor | oughly clean with the result that the | hoLoy was tainted with a coal oil taste. !

Title of Bonds

To the citizens of eastern states who arc unacquainted with conditions here the above statement of indebtedness will probably appear excessive, espe- cially when compared with the amount of asssossable property listed: but with an assessed valuation of upward of $1O0, 0,OOO, ,O00, to which we would be justly entitled if our prop erty were assessed and valued accord ing to eastern systems, our debt would be very light.
 It is intended to fund the floating debt into low interest-bearing bonds, and remove all necessity for a floating debt by a sufficient tax levy each year to provide for all expenses of govern ment.

 In 1875 the prospectors began to swarm into the newly opened country. The Black Hills were reported to be marvellously rich in gold and silver. The first Americans to make locations in the vicinity of Jerome were Captain John Boyd and the Dougherty broth CTS, who came in from Colorado carly in 1876. They Ioc2ted the North anu South Venture mining claims, which are now patented and the property of the United Verde Copper company. Captain Boyd still lives, enjoying fale and hearty winter of life, and re- sides at Camp Verde.

It is also a known fact that no class of people are more uniformly successful than the dairy men, and no sections of our country present so many visible signs of per manent prosperity as those sections devoted to dairying. If accurate means were at hand to secure perfect statis- tics the value of the milk product of this country would probably prove to be close upon $1 ,000, 100000 annually more than twice the value of the wheat crop of the entire country.
 But what part have we of this valley in this great industry? It does not take a very old resident to remember when milk from few range COWS, set in tin pans, skinned with a tin skim mer churned in a dash churn the pro duct misnamed butter, taken to market in tin fruit cans, constituted the dairy output of Maricopa county.

 But the dairy industry has grown from nothing until today it is one of our leading sources of income, bring ing into the valley not less than s100,- 900 annually, and contributing an an- nual product of no less than $125,00 In fact some conservative men place it much higher. But this much at least is known from actual figures based upon actual sales.
 Naturally you ask what are some of the factors which have contributed to the building up of this industry?
 First, the mild and equable climate of CUT valley has proven the natural home and a paradise for the dairy COW. Freed from the excessive cold and se- were storms of other sections she will produce larger returns and continue in milk more continuously. Then again | our .l4qrlant alfalfa comes d. uear be- !

FINANCES OF THE TERRITORY.

The governor in his report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898, makes the following statement of the taxable FFoperty and bonded and floating dent Of the territory of Arizona:
 The following is a statement of the taxable property of the territory of Arizona, according to the assessment rolls and the report of the territorial beard of equalization, for the current year. The figures are taken from off cial records and are reliable, bu. as sessments are very low on account of the unwise system of low valuations and high rates which prevail in the territory.

It has been demonstrated hsyond doubt that the culture of the almond + destined to be one of the leading in dustries of this valley. It is well to assert the fact that whoever enters into this line of horticulture and hopes for success must bring to bear upna his work the same keen perception that he applies to any other business ven ture. Simply planting tree and put ting in time figuring out results won't produce almonds. He must be as fla

It will be seen from this that Values are very low. The valuation of the personal and other property not stated is corresponding1y low, which, when considered in connection with the fact that a considerable portion of the property of Arizona escapes assess ment altogether. accounts for tho ap- parent anomaly of conditions ill ref erenee to the wealth, debt, and taxes of the territory.
 The rate of taxation differs in the different counties, but the average rate throughout Arizona for all pur- poses is about $3.50 on s100, 80 cents of which, this year, is for territorial pur- poses solely.
