Beautiful Mesa, the Gem Cit.

last two fairs have been a revelation in what Arizona can produce along this line. As yet the local demand for superior stock absorbs everything that is being raised.
 HOGS.
 Fed not very different from the other live stock. the Arizona pig is d profitable investment especially if raised on the same place with dairy cattle. His main subsistence is alfalfa and he fattens rapidly.
 SHEEP.
 For half the year the valley feeds many thousand sheep which are brought down annually from the mountains to winter through the lambing and shearing season in a milder climate. The valley has its own heards also many of the farmers finding it profitable to pasture sheep. These are fattened on alfalfa and Mesa alone finds subsistence for over 100.- 900 sheep. Among the eastern buyers there is always d brisk demand for Arizona wool.
 Goats are raised in increasing num-
 
 this district. produces a particularly fine and silky wool.
 POULTRY.
 Chicken raising Is very popular A demand for eggs to supply the min ing camps within d radius of a hun dred miles of Mesa has induced many farmers to make speciality of poultry. Quantities of eggs are exported but although commanding very high prices the supply has not yet equal the de- mand. Chickens require less care than in the East, and are matched most successfully in mid-winter. No busi- ness offers surer returns or requires less capital at the start.
 BEE CULTURE.
 There have always been bees in Ari- Zona- The mesquite, an indigenous tree, is a great attraction to them. but their main substance is the alafalfa- The Mesa aparies annually export many tons of honey.
 SUMMERY-MARKETS.
 Mesa as previously stated. has two railroads, which connect her with the largest cattle and produce markets. The same lines bring her in touch with d number of Arizona towns less favorably situated than herself and with mining and construction camps. none of which are self supporting. but depend upon the valley for their sup plies. A fine local market is thus es- tablished. and Mesa hay and grain. butter. eggs. etc. find q ready sale in the mountain towns, Indeed. the needs of the mining towns have gone ahead of what the valley has vet been able to supply. Hay is sometimes shipped as far as Los Angeles, but its export Is limited by the home consumption The government construction camps at Roosevelt and Granite Reef have made Mesa their base of supplies.
 Mesa's local railway facilities in- clude a passenger servic, nf twelve trains which connect her daily with Tempe and Phoenix, and with Flor ence. Branch lines of both the South ern Pacific and Santa railways run frequent trains. The town is in all most direct communication with Los Angeles. Kansas City and Chicago. The building of transcontinental line to pass directly through Mesa is now anticipated as a matter of the next two years.
