Alfalfa and Cows.

The Phoenix, Arizona. Stockman gives some very valuable and interest ing information in the following:
 Professor Wickson, in one of his lectures, said; "Four-tifths of all veg citation is grass; there are S450 spe- cies of grasses described. but to the dairyman, one of the most important is alfalfa and is peculiarly adapted to Southern California" In preparing the land the checking in squares may be done away with, simply following the contour of the land, starting on the highest point and carrying your plot along until you reach a point something like a foot lower, building your levee about one and one-half feet broad and we'll rounded, You can now grade your land from one levee to an other, and continue in the same man her until your tract of land is finished, it being much less work to take aG- vantage of the natural grade of the

A Fruit Company at PIaCentia.

In 1872 there was incorporated at Healdsburg. in Sonoma County, the Southern California Tropical Fruit Company. The enterprise was inaugurated by L. M Holt, then asso- ciate editor of the Healdsburg Flag. who was made president of the com pany. Among the stockholders were Prof. c. F.. Hutton. then banker at Healdsburg, but now teacher in the State Normal School at Los Angeles; l. s. Chapman, an engineer. now resident of AL meda R. II. Gilman, who was made superintendent of the ranch; John F. Mulgrew. afterwards sheriff of Sonoma County; Thomas A. Carey, at that time a prominent nurseryman of Los Angeles. and others.
 The ompany bought i07 acres of dry land. with little or no prospects of water supply about four miles north east of Anaheim. and commenced work, The superintendent struggled along for several years by lifting wa ter from well sixty feet in depth and hauling 1t to the trees, but finally the Cajon Canal was constructed, and afterwards consolidated with the Ana helm Canal Company, and water from the Santa Ana River was obtained in abundance.
 Strange to say most of the orig inal stockholders who formed the company nearly thirty years ago are still stockholders, and Mir Gilman is still the superintendent. Mir Mulgrew has the same ten shares of stock he originally took while he was acting as foreman of the Flag printing office, and one lady subscribed for one share of the original stock. which share she still retains. Prof. Hutton is still a member of the board of directors, a position he has held for thirty years.
 The property Is a good one, and in 1900 it paid dividend of fifty dollars per share.

JONES WAS RIGHT.

There IS a noticeable disposi- tion on the part of some demo- crats to criticise those who voted for the senate amendment which accepts the Panama route to the
 isthmian canal, instead of stick
 ing to the Nicaraugua route as advocated by Senator Morgan. We observe that two or three democratic senators who voted
 with Morgan expressed them- selves as having arrived at the same conclusion, as had Senator
 Jones, that the Panama route was the best, but they felt com pelled to vote with Morgan be cause they had given him thier word. Senator Jones appears to have voted for what he be licved to be for the best interes ts of the country. Simply because he happened to vote with such republicans as Hanna. his enc
 mics have siezed the opportunity to say all manner oi unkind things of him In the minds ol honest unnaised men he will be credited with having voted for what he believed to be best for the United States Government The approval of this class ol people IS all that an honest man need to seek.
