having contributed somewhat to the
gayety of the season. The landlord
had become as rich as king and
could have afforded to give the hotel
away but he used it for many years as
a country seat and looked complacent-

Hank FaXon.
When the Troy and Montreal tele-
graph line was built the parties who
constructed it were not able to run it.
Faxon and another newspaper man, l..
w. Cutler, got possession of it. They
bought the instruments, which were
the old-fashioned House style of print
ing machines, and they got the lines

high, but the enterprise failed and so
did Faxon and his partner.
In writing poetry Faxon would work
up a stanza and print it. III the Dit

other stanzas to it, from time to time,
and reprint the whole. Occasionally,
however, he would write an entire
poem at once. He wrote Beautiful
Snow" a fact which all of his old
friends are aware of, although there
has been so much absurd talk about 1t
that the pretty little thing long ago
became a sort of "guy" among jour
nalists. Mr.. Prentice, who was a great
admirer of Faxon, had the original
manuscript of the poem for a long
time. and | frequently saw 1t, years
before there were any other claimants,
other than Faxon's friends for him
self. until after Faxon's death. Some
rhyming charlatan has, since that
event, published a book of doggerel
with 'sThe Beautiful Snow" on its first
page, and called it Beautiful Snow
and Other Poems," by himself, but the
remainder of the book, with its bad
rhyme and rocky rhythm, gives the
lie to his assertion, prima facie.

MISLEADING would call the

ments l have seen. One is quoting
cotton at % cents. but remember this
price is in New York or Boston. and
it costs cents a pound, or $1,000 a
bale, to ship it there This will reduce
1t in price at Phoenix to IS cents in
stead Of % cents. Then some one
wrote that an acre would produce 5000
pounds. one 1900 pounds. and one from
Mesa lately 1900 pounds, but they
didn't say seed cotton" There is d
great deal of difference in seed cotton
and lint cOtton-the same as 1 to 3.
Those statements are misleading to the
raisers who want to know how much
marketable cotton they can get on an
acre. Fifteen hundred pounds of seed
cotton will give 500 pounds of lint
cotton
MACHTNERY.-The cost of machin-
cry to separate the lint from the seed
will be about as follows:

so cents per saw....... 1000

Parties who want to put up machin-
cry can calculate the cost of shed or
barn to suit themselves and add it to
above but gins can be had as small rs

in proportion.
l mentioned an S0-saw gin as this
will gin 10 bales a day with the at
tendance of three men; whereas. a
smaller outfit requires the same force
and does less work, and the expenses
on a small outfit will be considerably
higher than the large, and while one

RAISING COTTON IN
SALT RIVER VALLEY
=. L. Warner, Who Has Had Expert
ence in the South, Contributes a
Paper on the Subject.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Sir-Being asked by different parties
what would be~ the probable cost of
producing a bale of cotton, and also
the cost of machinery to get cotton in
shape for the market, and to explain
to each individual would take
too long. so l take this method of
explaining through your paper to all
who are interested in cotton culture.
First, will give the cost of raising
one bale and calculating one bale to
the acre. which l think it will produce
in this valley, as every boil will open
here in this climate on account of hav-
ing no frost to damage it, as it does in
the Mississippi valley after the 10th
day of October. when generally a
heavy frost falls and tie unopen bolls
are all lost:

CLIMATE-If long staple or Egyp-
tian cotton grows anywhere in the I'm
tied States it should grow well In Salt
river and ella valleys. as the climate
is nearly the same as the cotton belt
climate in Egypt, which is above Cairo.
(No cotton is planted between Alex
andria and CairO) The climate here
is so dry it will have no backsets by
rain, and by proper irrigation it should
commence to open in August or after
the rainy season, and keep on growing
ripening and opening until New Year,
as frost will not kill it here, as it does
in the south when frost falls. By
keeping it moist | think it would only
have to be replanted every two or
three years, as / have seen some few
stalks at Cooper's ranch. north of
. Tempe, which produced more bolls the
second year than the ydid the first,
tnd perhaps lasted one or two years
more. They may even live as long as
caster beans in this valley, but this
can only be demonstrated by actual
experience. But that cotton grows
well in the valley is beyond dispute. In
1891. a rancher had bale of 290
pounds at the fair at the race track
on Center street, and he told me he
raised it on about a half acre of
ground.
PREPARING GROUN d FOR
PLANTING The ground should be
plowed very deep, and it would be well
to run bull tongue pillow in each row
where cotton will be planted. as the
roots go straight down in the ground
from y to 20 inches. The deeper the
roots the more prolific. 1t should be
planted here in February and the rows
should be about five feet apart.
CULTINATING.--It should be plant
ed on low ridges, where the moisture
can get to the seed. so It viii sprout
and commence showing up in about Is
days, and after it is up about four
inches it should be hoed and chopped
to a stand about three feet apart. From
