Forbei, Director and Chemist of Agricultural Experiment StatJon UniversHy fif A rizon'a, January 15, 1007. Just west or Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial llood-plaifi of the Toldrado, lies a little J'an'n or 7-2 acres which on, May l, lfirj.", was viTRiu bottomland, covered with FrtUwrtid, arrow britsli and creosote bushes.

In order to economize ground the irrigating borders were so placed us to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usimlly wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lands, for the most part ode-half an acre in size, mianting water from the Colorado. Valley P. & I. Canal was obtained in the -customary manner, aiid JS. U.

The prevailing crops of the reKian arc ajfaira, cofn. bailey, and rorages in general, compaia; lively littler attention being given -to vege tables and fruits. Vithalthe cost of levelling land in this region is high,- rarely falling be i low twenty riollais an acre, at current prices i for Tabor and teams. Moreover; the cost, ex clusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about S3.f)0 an acre annually for ten years. To nleet these and other heavy items of expense In connection wHiv flic establish ment of a farm in this reg'ipn, intensive crops of ii more remunerative character than those now in v'ogite, are essential. It was partly, ' therefore, lis an object fesyon bearing upon these financial aspects-of the general situa tion, that tftis cultural ..work wa9 planned. KfcCf.AM.VriOS OK 'THK GISOUND. The soil or our tract, rtiwarm, sandy loam well adapted to gardening operations, was levelled, ditched and bordered at a contract f'Ylcc of flf.2(i an acre, considerably less than the aerage for the locality, reckoning the labor of men and teams aj current rates. In addition, barbed wire- an"d posts ror fencing cost $00.

Only skilled labor employed in levelling, bordering and ditching the ground, and ftrt part construc tion of the house, is ihclnded' in' the above estimates, as the common labor required or dinarily would be, ami in this case was, fur nished by the -farmer himself.

NORTON, Mohawk, AiiZv Lack the Bird Instinct Certain species , of birds have two' annual migrations.' They ily south wbeii- the winter is ap proaching and north when .the. warm Weather is near. That is not all, they- know when to -ily. In spring and au tumn their journeys are some times a month earlier than at other times. Their instinct is a knowledge beyond the ken of mortals. It was given them at the beginnrnglorself protection. In the same-way the trees give out certain signs which abori ginal man has learned to take cognizance of, Thus, when the nut. pine trees are loaded with nutsT the crafty Piufe shrugs liis shoulders and says, "Heap cold winter coming." And he is ai Ways rfght. It is nature's fore sight to- provide food for her animals. Out on the-'alkalr des ert, after a few days,-the one thing-the traveler, longs-for more than anything else is something spur. Anehif ne can bnd a spring the' chances.are that he iil find bordering the stream that llows away from the spring a row of currant bushes. Wise old moth er nature knew in advance that i:f any of her birds vfrere on' that - desert in- August the thing. they would most need would be-some sour iruit, ana so planted tne currant bushes. The woodsmen aud plainsmen know all these things and the man succeeds best who follows the rules- set down for the birds. Miners and prospectors come nearer succeed ing in this than any other class of men. They have their migra tions in their regular seasons Only it is spring for them when they are' flush and it's late in" the autumn vvith them when they go broke. , So we see them1 come into town,-and if it is' mid summer swallow-like it. is their first idea is to.get a rest, and they live oh tue cnoicest bufrs and grass hoppers to- be had. But they are nSt wise like the birds.- When it begins to become cloudy and cold for them, they begirt to talk about going back, but they never do until the cabin is cold and the larder is empty. Then there is a struggle for a "grub stake," and that secured, they start on1 another migration. The birds come back- in the spring;- the men do not always come. The hills have hidden away many a one of them, and will continue to, for' they lack the bird instinct to know whether the mine is go ing to be spring or autumn to them. The wild goose' and swal low are' wiser than the pros pector.
