The company contemplates also assisting the land owners in determining the best crops to be raised on their lands. To that end a scientific expert will visit farms, analyze soils, advise farmers what crops will do best upon the particular soils of their lands, and where they can get the requisite seeds to the best advantage. Such a policy pursued extensively will be of great benefit both to the railroad and the country it traverses, and it will prove the highest kind of service.

Working to Find Msrkete.

Not long ago Colonel EpeS Ran dolph, president of the Southern Pacific of Mexico, while at San Bias, on the Fuerte river, over- heard an American farmer, with a ranche in the immediate vicinity, complaining that he could find no sale for a large crop of fine Ber- muda onions he had raised, which he was offering at three cents, Mexi- can money, per kilo, which price he said would bring him the cost of raising them. Being interested right away Colonel Randolph asked to see the produce, which he found of the best quality, such as sells in Tucson at twelve to sixteen cents per pound in gold. He found that the man had ninety tons of them, and he declared he would never make an effort to raise any more. The railway president assured him that something might be done to find a market at such prices that it would De an inducement for him to continue their cultivation. He took a few of the onions into his private car, where they were served at meals, and they proved very delicious. At Empalme he called attention of the commercial agent of the company to the onions, gave him the address of the raiser, and instructed him to make an effort to find markets for them. With a little telegraphing to Hermosillo, Cananea, and other points, the commercial agent worked off the entire ninety tons, and the grower realized good prices-so good that he will plant Bermuda onions again next year.
 Colonel Randolph informed THE OASIS that it is the policy of the company to develop markets for the raisers of produce along the line

while attending school ut Lebanonl

boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the afliction assumed the,
form Of an eczema on nay face, the,
lower part Of my face being infiamedl
most OF the time. There would be-
water-blisters rise up and open. and
wherever the water would touch II
would burn. and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open.
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO az to be almest TN
bearabie at times. In this way the
sores would spread from n place to
another. back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years.
without getting any better. and m iacs
got worse all the time. 90 much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 10
prove fatal.
During all this time OF bOfis and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply.
sicians Of this part Of the country. but
to no avail. Finally ] decided to try
cuticura Remedies. which I did. TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
