We learn from an exchange that
an Indiana genius proposes to util-
ige cats for the generation of cleo

pose is to round up the cats and
drive them through a chute so that
they will pass under rotating
brushes, which will abstract the de-
sired current. The invention might
lie further improved by the employ
ment Of mice, so that the cats could
be drawn through the chute by In

Home Grown Fruit.

There are still people who
claim nothing can be grown in
this part of Arizona, but it is
either because they do not want
to be convinced or make no ef-
fort to satisfy their minds by a
little investigation. Chas. Finn
brought to our office this week
samples of the peaches he is
growing in his yard right in
town where no special care was
given the trees. At Peter Hen
derson's place near the grammar
school he has a yard full of ap-
pie bearing trees that will this
year produce twenty or thirty
bushels, and even our old friend
]. F. Mahoney tells us of having
a second crop of pears this year
from one tree. He has had to
cut his alfalfa three times this
summer and he is afraid he will
have to cut it again, so he is not
very enthusiastic about alfalfa as
lazy mans crop.
All this land surrounding Win
slow that has now been thrown
open to homestead entry will
produce farm or garden crops in
abundance, and make good or
chard lands, but it will require
just the same energy and indus
try as the California farmer put
on his land to make it productive.
1t will require a pumping plant
for every forty acres to get a
sufficient supply of water for ir-
rigating, and the land we'll farm
ed will produce just as abundant
ly as California soil. Winter
wheat and oats can be raised by
dry farming, and the govern
ment record shows that the an
nual rainfall is increasing every
year.
