A SALE 0F RANCH
 LAND WITH A MORAL

Two weeks ago there was published in these columns the sale. through the Valley Realty and Trust company of ten acres in the DeMund tract to Hiram Gardner of Julesburg. Colo
 The price paid for the tract was s2.500 and the announcement of the transaction, considered simply as a sale, is of no great importance. But there is another side 10 the story.
 Mir. Gardner brought his wife. three children and a car load of goods. As soon as he had made his selection of a home-there is a new brick house and a barn on the tract--he set to work at once to see what he could do with the farm. Were a visitor to drop in on Mir. Gardner today he would find him at work laying out his tract for fruit, potatoes. berries. sugar beets, vegetables. melons. grain. alfalfa for the support of life. The visitor would see seven head of cows of reg istered Rolled Durham stock. two huge draught horses of English Shire stock, four fat Poland China pigs. four large Dorset sheep. 30 Golden Wyandottes, F White Orpingtons. a pair of Japan csc Golden pheasants which will be user for breeding purposes. and a full set of farming machinery.
 Whats the moral?
 Simply this: It is better to sell ten acres to a settler than twenty to a speculator.

A CURIOUS SKULL
 NOT YET IDENTIFIED
It Doubtless Belonged to Some Pre-
 historic Four. Footed Arizonan.

w. A. Ware, of 220 East Madison street, this city, has brought to The Republican office a curiosity in the way of an antiquarian exhibit. It is the skull of some animal that the To- cal scientists have not yet been able to classify. Whether it belongs to some species of the present day that has become extinct in these immedi- ate parts, or whether it is the skull of some beast of a former period
 that has been kept from the action of the elements until recent times, can be better guessed at after there has been expert opinion to the effect that it is not of a present. day spe- cies
 The skull was found near Goldfield. a One-time interesting mining camp at the western end of the Supersti- ton mountains, not a great distance from the Roosevelt road. It was found by MT. Ware in a gulch, on the surface of the ground. whence il has been washed recently from some secure hiding place, unless it is proved to be present day animal. as has not yet been done. It was brought to Phoenix some months ago and was on exhibition at the fair, though at that time there were so many noisy things claiming atten- tion that the skull could not be heard in it's quiet claims for recog-

milton. Since then it has been in a
 curio cabinet until it was brought to The Republican office.
 The most casual observer can see that it is not the skull of either a horse, a COW, or any horned animal; nevertheless it's general shape is a 1 little like that of some equine, though much smaller than most horses. MT. Ware thought when he found it that l it was the skull of a camel and, in a general way, it looks more like a camers head than anything the aver age man can think of. Color to that belief is added by the knowledge that some thirty or forty years ago, per haps longer. the government liberated d herd of camels in western Arizona, and for years afterward one was oc- lcasionally seen by a mountain travel CT or prospector, and one or two have been brought to Phoenix within the
 memory of present residents of Phoe-
 nix though it is supposed that all are now dead.
 The camel theory, however, is dis credited by at least three local veter-
 inarians to whom the skull has been shown. They say the bone that formed the coupling of the head to the neck is too large for that of a camel
 The skull will be kept here a short time. and those interested may see it at this office. It will then be sent to the Smithsonian institution in the hope of settling it's identity, unless some person should buy it of Mir. Ware or definitely settle what it is and arrange for its retention here. It is only one of many exhibits that are occasionally found in Arizona. and which should be a part of that territorial museum the people have been waiting so many years for the legislature to create.
 It has been suggested that the skull is that of one of the mastodons with which H. R. Patrick claims to have eXcavated the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, but it is not large enough for that. Brutes that could dig as big a hole as the Grand can yon must have had heads at least ten feet long, while this is not more than twelve or fourteen inches long.

 Take blackberries. On another place in the Salt River valley the
 owner of it pointed to five rows of blackberries and said: T picked over
 Sl00 worth of blackberries from each
 one of those five rows" The plot of berries was not over one-quarter
 of an acre, making a product of $500 from that small piece of land. This
 was in addition to all the family want ed to eat during the whole blackberry season.
 Any intelligent, industrious, thrifty and economical man who knows, can so cultivate five acres of land, almost
 entirely with his own labor, that he will produce from it not only the
 principal part of the food for his own family during the year, but in addi-

 IL is this practical application of the homecroft idea that should lead to the industrial emancipation of thousands of men who are now living from hand to mouth on the proceeds of wages or salary received Saturday night, and the greater part of it spent the same evening to keep alive the next week.
 The Rural Settlements association
 has started a campaign to prove practically the facts upon which this article is based. IL has subdivided in to five-acre farms a quarter section of the best garden land in the Salt River valley. This land is under the great Salt River valley reservoir and irrigation system now being built by the national government. The sys- tenn will be completed within two years. In the meantime water is fur nished under one of the oldest and best canal rights of the valley. In addition, a splendid pumping plant furnishes supplemental water. IL is operated by a Fairbanks Morse gaso- line engine, throwing 250 inches of water from an ineXhaustible under ground source. This makes it impOs- sible that any shortage of water should ever exist on this tract of five-acre homecrofts. It is less than two miles from the city of Phoenix one mile from the present end of the line, and in less than two years will be suburban property What are now five-acre tracts will then be selling in acre tracts. and in demand for suburban homes for resi- dents of Phoenix-From the Tails man.

The Scheme of the Rural Settlements Association, Whose Colony, Two Miles from Phoenix, Is Growing Rapidly.
CBy George H. Maxwell.D


 Every man who will take as his guide the motto above, will soon solve the most important material problem of his life if he has to earn his own living by his own labor.
 The great economic question of the day is the elimination of waste, and especially the waste of human labor.
 The man who works for wages or for a salary. and then spends all or nearly all he makes for rent, food and clothing for himself and family, is in a position where he must bear the burden of every economic waste, or unnecessary expense of labor, in the final apportionment to him of the share of the results of the labor of all men that he finally secures.
 On the other hand, the man who owns his home on the land and cul- tivates it with his own labor and produces from it nearly everything that he needs for food, eliminates from the economic burdens that he must bear the whole question of rent and the question of waste in the preparation and distribution of food products that are consumed where they are produced.
  who knows how to cultivate it to di- versified fruit and garden crops, and who knows how to raise poultry and to care for a COW, applies the motto, Direct from the producer to the consumer" to everything he himself produces and consumes on his own table He pays no commissions. or middlemens profit, or freight trans portation upon anything that he pro- duces for home consumption on his own garden farm-his homecroft. It needs to be transported only from the place where it grew at that home to his own stomach. He need bear no burden of factory waste, un- less it takes place in his own kitchen.
 In recent conversation with a farmer of this class near Phoenix. in the Salt River valley, he remarked to the writer of this article that from a quarter of an acre of strawberries that he cultivated, he had sold S155 worth of strawberries the previous year, besides having picked for his own use all that his family of five could themselves eat during ten months of the year.
 How many clerks or mechanics or factory operatives in the large cities are living under conditions that per init of anything like that? How of ten do they get strawberries in the course of a year, and what do they pay for them2 And bear in mind that the five-acre farmer in the Salt River valley, when he has strawber- ries to eat. can cover them with the richest cream in any desired quan- tity.
 Another illustration might be drawn from cantaloupcs. In the Salt River valley one-tenth of an acre of land will produce 2.O0O cantaloupes. The labor of cultivating and picking. crat- ing and shipping, transporting and
