HOMESTEAD FILINGS
 AT THE LAND OFFICE
Great Anxiety to Obtain Land in the Artesian Belt Of Southern
 Arizona.

Homestead filings are pouring in upon the Phoenix land office. Yes terday twenty applications for home stead claims were received while sev- eral other claimants proved up on their land. The fees received aggre- gated s17O0.
 Since Arizona is a new country the land office always does fairly good business in homestead claims but this winter the rush has been greater than il ever was before. During the last few days nearly all the filings received have been upon lands in the san simon valley. near where arte- sian water was recently found Should enough water be found to irrigate all the lands that are being filed upon they wiE be of fabulous value.
 Most of yesterdays filings were on hOmesteads on the mesaS above Tue son and Wilcox. Only two or three applications were from the northern part of the territory.

Indians Took Sixteen Sealps Off Nine
 Ball Players.

Every pay streak must pinch out and there must always be an OCca- sional setback 10 ambition. At this time it becomes necessary tO an- nounce that the Junior Bible Baseball club of the Presbyterian church. in it's bout with the Phoenix Indian school team. came to grief and only brought back tO town the record Of three runs. while it left the redskins in undisputed possession of sixteen.
 The J B. C's acknowledge their complete and unqualified defeat in a good square game but they still in sist that there iS clevernesS left in the aggregation and believe that if the Indians will give them another show they will make a better record. They say that the game was not up to their best standard and was de plOrably ragged in places that they think they could patch up if given another opportunity.
 The Indians had them outclassed both as to skill and weight but still they held them down to blank score for two innings while in the fourth the J. B. C's began to find the home
 
 that they actually went to pieces and in that inning the natives made seven runs. The J. E. C.'s believe that they can do better next time and are willing to make a try at it. The line-ups were as follows:
 J E. C's-R. Johnson. catcher: Engstrom. pitcher and second base: Harrison. first base. Brown. second base; Perry, third base: Warren. shortstop; O. Johnson. left field. Stearns. center field; HIing. right field.

 From what could be gathered from such remarks as the elder brother made he was inclined to recede from the charge that he was being kid naped by the younger. but he per sisted in his belief that somebody had evil designs against him.
 On their arrival in the city the younger brother was taken before Justice JOhnstOne. out of whose court the warrant had been issued and Frank Lapham was put under a SI .00O bond or his appearance. The bond was furnished and the brothers went to the Valley lodging house.

ADELINA PATTI IN 1852.
One Who Heard Her Mourned Over

Little Adelina Patti sang Jenny Lind's Echo Song" and "Ah' Non Giunge"
 She is only years old, but her cul- tivation is quite remarkable. and her voice. although pleasantly childlike in tone. is sweet and easily fills the great hall. It is a pity she is to sing in a theater. She will be stung by the frenzied desire of applause, which will do much to ruin her as an artist

TREES IN AND OUT OF PLACE.

By the National Council of Horticulture)
Street trees should never be planted to
be ultimately less than forty feet apart.
Most of the better shade trees are slow
of growth. 1t is advisable to plant
quicker growing trees between them for
immediate effect, to be cut out later
when they begin to crowd and injure
each other.
Often when this time comes the quick
growing tree is so much larger and finer
looking that the owners heart fails him
and he compromises by hacking the
branches off all the row, running them all
and affording only temporary relief In
few years the quicker growing vari-
cites begin to die and soon a straggly
row of melancholy cripples exists where
might have been noble specimens, good
for generations to come.
Trees should never be planted so as to
shade too densely a building where hui
mans or animals abide. The sun must
reach every part of a dwelling at least
part of the day, or the doctor will be a
frequent visitor.
Trees must not be planted in the CEN
ter of a lawn. At the side or the rear
is the place for them. A spreading ap-
pie tree or two in the backyard is good
for shade and for fruit, if it is sprayed
to kill insects and fungus diseases.
If the house is too densely shaued, use
the axe ruthlessly and open up a place
to admit air and light. If two trees
crowd each other select the best. or the
best located. and cut down the other, I'M
less it is small enough to move Don't
trim. Cut down. One perfect tree is of
more value tnan a yard full of crippled
or Stunted spec mems.

HORSEHEADS.
Origin of a New York Villages Name
Which It Is Proposed to Change.

The village of Households, n. Y, is
again agitating the question of changing
it's name to North Elmira. The matter
has been brought before the public from
time to time for several years, but so
far the old name has been retained.
One result of the present discussion
has been an inquiry as to how the village
obtained it's name. The story generally
accepted is that in 1779 when Gen. Sui
Ivan was returning from a campaign
against the Indians in Genesee county,
he stopped here to rest his troops. The
surrounding country was covered with
dense forest and he was thickly beset
with his enemies so he determined to
shorten his march by descending the
Chemung river on RATS. AS the depth
of the river was not known to him and
he had no appliances for building large
floats he ordered that all extra luggage
and supplies be destroyed and that all
feeble or superfuous horses be killed.
AS soon as the troops had departed
the wolves came forth from the forest
and picked the bones clean. When the
Indians ventured back into this region
again they visited the camp ground and
some of them made great mound of
the bleached horseheads which they
found strewn about. This monument
was later found by the settlers who pene-
trated into the valley and because of it
they gave their settlement the name of
Horseheads.-New York Sun.

The Use of Fertilizers.

A bulletin on fertilizers issued by the
Department of Agriculture says a study
of farm practice shows that the best
farmers obtain yields of one to two bales
Of cotton, forty to seventy-ive bushels
of corn, and forty to seventy-fve BUSH
els of oats on soils where farmers of
Glass 3 get but one-half to one bale of
cotton, fifteen to forty bushels Of corn,
and fifteen bushels of oats. The bulletin
asserts this is due to the fact that the
best farmers have better understanding
of the use of fertilizers and employ bet
ter farm methods than the others.
Let no one engaged in agriculture
gather from this the notion that spend
ing money for commercial fertilizers is
sure means of securing rich returns in
the form of bumper crops. The trend
of the detailed information contained in
the bulletin is in the contrary direction.
Commercial fertilizers are expensive.
Sometimes they do little good, and some
times none at all, though when used
where the soil requires them, they are
indisputably serviceable and profitable.
The report says that one of the most
common grades of fertilizer on the mar
ket in the South Atlantic States at pres
ent contains per cent phosphoric acid,
8 per cent. of ammonia and 8 per cent.
of potash. The report goes on to OBJ
serve that this fertilizer is of primary
VaIue only 10r cotton on red clay SOIL
under fairly good methods of rotation,
and that very different formula is de-
sirable for crops on sandy, sandy loan
and gray loan soils, and for all crops
other than cotton on red clay soil.
Here are some practical conclusions
emphasized in the bulletin:
The character of the soil has a marked
influence on the quantity and kind of fer
tilizer it is necessary to use in a good sys-
TEN of farming.
In farm practice there is gradual in
crease in the quantity of all the fertilizer
constituents required to produce like yields
as the proportion of sand in the surface
and subsoil increases. The increase is
greatest in the quantity of potash neces
sary, followed by phosphoric acid, and then
by nitrogen.
With a good rotation. deep and thorough
tillage, and the use of green manures, le
gumes and winter cover crops, the quantity
of commercial fertilizers required for a
given crop yield can be considerably re-
duced.
The wise farmer will make expert
ments on small scale to test The value
of different fertilizers with reference to
the needs of his soil and of the particu-
lar crops which he proposes to raise.
He will not neglect to supplement- his
experience by reading. The bulletin Is
