 PLANT PINEAPPLEs.- s.-Pineapple culture has proven an unqualified sue cess in Florida, says an exchange. The plant bears fruit within two years from the time of planting, requires but lit tie culture, and is a sure producer for three years, after which time the fruit becomes small and unmarketable. Three to four hundred dollars per acre is what the Florida planter nov clears from pineapple culture. It Is said that experiments at Yuma have proved successful. If that is the case, the same result should be obtained in this part of Arizona. Some experi- ments here might prove interesting.
 THREE PRINTERS.-Three printers of this town spent all their spare time last week reading about the gun club tournament and decided that shooting was dead easy. These same three print CTS lett this town about o'clock yes terday morning, armed to the teeth. and sought the haunts of the ferocious cottontail and the fierce jackrabbit. They found the haunts all right, but they failed to find anything else except quail and doves. which flew by them with such rapidity and swirl of wing that the three printers of this town never got a shot. They returned home and breakfasted on ham and eggs, the sportmen's old standby.
 WICKENRURG SOAP. - Manager Whitney of the Phoenix soap factory is engeged in experiments with the pro- duct of the soap mine above Wicken- burg. He does not know whether it can he put into commercial shape, but ne believes way can be found to handle it. He says that while it is not soap it will do what soap will do and in fact attacks dirt with much greater vigcr than soap does. The nature of the stuff has not yet been determined. There has been q sample of it at the sherin'S office for month. There has been no noticeable evaporation, so what was at first supposed to be water is something else, but is certainly not oil. for it will not burn. When the soap is thrown into 2 fire it slowly hardens.
