Loving the Dog is Hating the
Sheep.

Farmers Onloh'
1.-THE killing of sheep each year by
worthless dogs could be accurately es-
timated. the loss inflicted upon farm
ers thereby would be one Of the most
eloquent arguments in favor Of laws
for the protection of farmers against
the depredations Of dogs upon their
Aocks; and it would, as a matter OF
course, also reduce the number ofvile
ours constantly prowling about our
farm yards, watching every opportu-
nifty to feast off of the best and latest
mutton in the sheep-fold.
The depreciation Of dogs on sheep is
one of the greatest drawbacks the
farmer has to contend with in raising
them. The other day, at one Of our
autumnal fairs, a farmer said he had
tried two or three times to get into
breeding sheep, but, as soon as he had
the nucleus for a small flock started,
worthless dogs would kill them, and
he was obliged to abandon the under
taking. 1t is to be hoped that the
legislature this winter will give the
farmers a wholesome dog law. One
thing is certain, if dogs are permitted
to run at large the sheep interest must
suffer, that's all.

buried for Years in a Cavern.

Albuquerque az. NJ Golden Gatel
A few days ago Messrs. D. L.
Doane, w. IL. Enfield and W. w.
Blake were surveying and locating the
boundaries Of the chihuahua mine
in the Magdalena mountains, about %
miles west of Soeorro, where they
made a somewhat startling discovery.
In claiming down the hill from the
center stake to the west side line they
passed nearly over an opening in the
rocks that was about three feet long
and fourteen inches wide. A small
dead tree, about fifteen feet in length,
was let down into the aperture and
Immediately disappeared from view.
A young pine tree thirty feet long was
then chopped down and a ladder
hastily %improvised therefrom. Care
fully let down, itfnally found foothold.
and two of the party descended
into the cavern. By the aid Of some
lighted pine knots they discovered
that they were in the center of a room
about thirty feet square. Continuing
their explorations, they found natural
tunnels leading to two other but
smaller chambers. The ceiling of the
main room was fully twelve feet from
tue floor. In one corner of this room
We're found the bones of a human be-
lug. A portion Of the rock overhead
had fallen in and buried a greater part
of the bones, but one of the collar
blades and a bone from the forearm
were obtained in excellent state of
preservation. Pen cannot portray the
agony which the solitary occupant Of
this dead mans leave" must have en-
dured during his last hours.
He could scarcely have been
a lone prospector lured to
his doom years ago by a fatal curiosity
as no sane nan would undertake to
explore the cave without first sound
ing its depths. Besides this, the pio-
neer of the Magdalena; Mr.. j. S.
Hutchinson, says that to his knowl-
edge no pr0speotor has been missed
during the last fourteen years. 1t is
thought that the Apaches, having
knowledge Of the sabterrauean prison,
must have compelled some untortu-
nate captive to descend into the cave
and tauntingly left him to his fate
How vel might the inscription over
the entrance to the internal regions, as
recorded in Dante's Inferno, "Who
enters here leaves hope behind" be
applied to this dismal dungeon. The
last chapter ofthe life Of the tenant Of
this cell would make abundant mate
rial for a romance on the border,

Eouisiana Oranges.


n. y. Democlat.l
There are not many persons who
appreciate the extent Of our orange
trade, or who realize what an enor-
nous source Of revenue the culture Of
this delicious fruit may be made. On
the 18th Of this month there were
shipped from here on the Chicago,
st. Louis and New Orleans railroad
eleven carloads Of oranges, destined to
Denver, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Chi
cago aud Evansville. There we're in
this shipment 1920 barrels, and aver
aging.the barrel az 300, we have a to-
tai Of 396,0J0 oranges sent in one day
by one railway to supply the %increas-
Ing demand in The west for Louisiana's
Juicy and luscious fruit, which is far
S lperior TO the oranges Of Cuba. and
even the much yaunted fruit Of Flori-
d..
Between the FIRST Of October and
the twenty sixth there were shipped
BY the same road TO the western cities
q 900 barrels. an aggregate Of $780,.
900 barrels Of oranges. The demand
for this beautiful and universally fay
orable fruit is such that it can never
be supplied, so that there is every iu-
ducement for our people TO 20 largely
into orange culture, which, when
pursued with intelligence, will Weld a
much larger return for the capital in
vested than either cotton or sugar.
The orange crop Of Florida will soon
assume enormous proportions. Owing
10 iudiCi0u5 advertising il became the
fashion for northern people to 90 to
Florida for their health, and they, see
ing what a nine Of wealth was in
the culture Of oranges in that state,
invested largely in groves, which
are now rapidly bearing, aud from
which are supplied almost exclusively
the cities Of the north and east. The
state is becoming q vast orange grove
and millions OF dollars Of northern
capital are invested there in orange
farms. The Louisiana orange, as we
have said, is finer than either the
Florida or Cuban orange, and our eli.
mate is peculiarly favorable to tho
growth ofthe trees; hence, we should
either ourselves increase our produc.
ton Of the fruit, or else invite western
and northern capital here to plant
new groves and pake Louisiana wha,
she should be-tho rival of Florida
If Florida supplies the north and east
with oranges, Louisiana should Ger.
tainly be equal to supplying the wesI
and northwest.
