ARIZONA ORANGES
An Acknowledgment of Their Excel
 fence Over All Others.

A late issue of the Denver I:cpubii- can devotes half page to the subject of orange growing in the Salt River valley. The article is illustrated by views of orange groves Ee:t. Phoenix. The story iS as follows:
 About the best oranges that now come to the market are frcEH Arizona. To be exact they are from Iha Sal: River valley. whereof Phoenix. the tel ritoriaI capital. is the center. ''te best proof of the pudding is ill it price. to mcdernize the ancient maxim. AIiZNns. oranges brought tnv growers I. New York this winter as much as $S.13 a box. The best of the California fruit brought S less. So to the Aiiz0nians went returns of about S4 cents d dozen. What the New York consumer paid was limited only by t:e retail deale. . conscience.
 The Salt River valley orange is large. sweet. thin-sSinnci and hish-cciored. yet it is probable that the higher prices obtained were largely due to the fact that they were gil on the market by. December l.. in the best of season fol' the holiday trade.
 But orange growing. whether in Florida California CT Arizona. should not be considered perpetual and pleasing combination of large crops and nigh prices It has come to pass in the southwestern coast region that rot more than two out of three crops are to be depended upon, and q sue ccssion of TiCst- years nG= set the growers thinking. \ mJtu.ed orange grove is a gCoi income producer at T valuation ot even $4 01J an acre.

scme day. Eon soir!' And she was


 gore.
 For several days I did Tot see her and the matter passed completely from my mind. One afternoon a week iater however, I saw her at the same table in company with three men. The che de parte' whispered to me that the. were winning heavily and I told tn surVeiilants to watch and report. \. hour later one cf the men came to n and stated that madame and her part ."0n 1G.000 francs and that, strangeSt cf all. they only played for the maxi mum and scarcely ever lost.
 That evening l myself looked on at their play several times and certainly they seemed to win each time they stdked. The curious point. however, was that in twenty coups or so they would never play more than twice. first one of the partners and then the others. but on each occasion they won the maximum. Indeed the system cer- tainly seemed to bear out the prophecy of madame. and was actually infal liblc.
 "A week passed and their winnings amounted to a very respectable sum, aIl of which had been safely lodged in
 
 to a bank at Milan. The matter was now growing serious, for three times they had broken the bank at the table where they played. and at length | teleRraphed to NJ. Blanc in Paris. He asked for further reports. and these . being still unsatisfactory, he came to Monte Carlo to see for himself. What he saw greatly disconcerted him. The gang was winning most assUredly, but : by what system We were utterly un- able to discover. We'll. to cut q long i story short NJ. Blanc had an interview with adame and, after long haggling, he purchased the secret for 10000 francs-and it vas cheap at the price. The money being paid after play had ended and the rooms cleared. ma dame led us to the table and astourded it's by her statement. She told us that after some years at the table sine knew quite well that no system was infal- liblo until of 2 sudden, when register ing the numbers. she noticed that cer- tain of them always followed each other. Thus if the croupier spun with the number opposite to him 26 was certain to be the next. and if zero was in the same position 32 would surely follow. For. days she watched this. then p!3NeG ana Wcn. Sle pul'hIS S"t together her little syndicate of Italians and upon her observations they prof itcdjn"arlN &a0. .000 francs.
 And why was it that these numbers turned up fn sequence" Well it was quite simple when madame told us. { The roulette wheel had become warped h. the heat ard Was not quite round Hence if turned from q certain point it invariably stuck at a certain other point. therefore. the players never hes itated to risk q maximum That is the only system that has ever been infal- iibic.' added t,e coUrtly official and 7 need hardly tell you that since We have been careful to test the wheels every day From London Letter.

all sorts Of tropical fruits.
There is little TO hunt in st. Vincent,
but the Caribs were good fishermen,
and in the season were in great de-
mand on the sugar estates when the
sugar droghers had to be laden. The
seas OF the eastern or windward coast
are very rough. and skilled watermen
were required to load the sailing craft
that transported the big hogsheads of
sugar molasses and rum around to

tremulous noise In the air. A severe
concussion of the earth followed. and

burst from the crater.
Volumes of sand darkened the air
and woods. ridges and cane pieces were
covered with light gray ashes, which
speedily destroyed all vegetation. The

their weapons at the expense of uner-

Mineral Resources Of Palestine.

A German mining engineer travelling
in Palestine has written to the Kirch-
offs Technische Blatter to the effect
that now that mineral treasures have
been found in the country that an in.
dustrial awakening is assured. AS yet,
he says, travelling is very unsafe. The
mineral deposits lie on both sides of
the Jordan and the Dead Sea. OF
them he thinks the salt deposits of the
Dead Sea could alone be developed
into an extensive industry. but that,
in addition to them. there are the btu
minous chalk springs of Nebi Musa,
which contain from twenty to forty
per cent. of asphalt. However he
thinks the most important of all are
the deposits of phosphates. There are
immense fields of these. he says, TO
the east and west Of the Jordan. only
awaiting transportation facilities for
their development.

After several years Of careful obser-

A SubstItute For Clover.

There Is always an excellent substi.
tute for clover and timothy when the
hay crop is short, and that is millet.
1t is quick growing summer crop
that may be seeded in May or June,
and it seldom fails to produce a large
yield of hay. 1t is also one of the best
eradicators of weeds that can be used,
as it grows so rapidly as to crowd the
weeds to destruction. A crop OF Hun
garan grass may also be seeded down
for summer yield of hay, as it may
be moved three or four times during

Poor Cows Are Improbable.

It will not pay to keep poor cows for
milk. And while 1t is possible to waste
feed by giving excessive quantities TO
good cows, we are in much more dan
ger of cutting down profits by feeding
too sparingly. My study of the subject
leads me to believe that the majority
of owners would make their dairy
stock more profitable if they would
come considerably nearer to what is
called high feeding" But the change
from present methods would principal
ly be in the line of quality. AS a rule.
cows that are kept by men who read
good agricultural papers, have a suf-
fcient quantity Of food. The kinds
of food. however are not always those
which are best adapted to the produc-
ton of milk. More grain. and less
roughage. or, perhaps, a wiser selection
Of the kinds of grain, would give bet
ter results. II would cost more than
the present method of feeding but with
good COWS and lrdic.ous management
the extra expense would be money
well invested.-A Massachusetts Far
