ing on the distant mountains,
while YOU are basking in the sun
shine. When You awake from
your revcrie Won are ready to say
like Jacob of old "Surely the
Lord vas in this place and | knew
il not Then with u heart full
Of admiration | can exclaim,
"Oh. thou beautiful hills where the blest
have trod.
Since the year when the earth was new
When our fathers gazed on those fields Of
God.
In this vale we are journeying through. "
But as pen and language fail to
portray the beauty, grandeur and
wonders of this land of gold, silver
and lava beds. we will say a few
words about the industries of New
Mexico. Farming ia a grand sue
cess, especially vegetables and
grass. Hay is worth $50 and $50
per ton; potatoes 81. 25 per bushel;
onions 10 cents per pound; butter
so to IS cents per pound. and t c
finest country for the dairy bust
ness in the world. 1t is a common
saying that any prudent man can,
with ten c0ws, make a fortune in
ten years. Shesp-raising is also a
profitable business here. The ma
tive Mexicans are general V engag-
ed in the latter business, while the
American goes for gold, silver and
horned stock.
The climate is considered to be
the finest in the United States.
The high altitude ENSURES dryness
aud purity, and by travelling from
place to place, almost any desired
temperature can be enjoyed. The
elevations of some Of the principal
points are rs follows: Santa Fe,
7,04S Old Fort Marcy, 1910;
Costilla, 7,774; TERRA. Amarillo,
1856 Glorietta. 7, 5S7; Fort Stan
ton, $500; White Oaks, 5000.
The mean temperature as observed
at the government stations for five
years, from 1873 to 1892, only va
ried about six degrees, which
shows an extraordinary uniformity.
The death rate in New Mexico is
the lowest in the country, the ratio
being as follows New England,
25; Minnesota, IA; Southern States
6, and New Mexico, 3.
The first thing that strikes the
stranger is the material and style
of the houses-thcy being gener-
ally of adobe and one story high.
An adobe is a sun dried brick,
moulded of earth and straw, usu-
ally 1S19x4-thc same kind the
children of Israel were called on to
moke in Egypt. A Mort residence
teaches the new conner that for this
climate no house Is 30 entirely
comfortable rs those thick adobe
walls, to keep it cool in summer
and warm in winter.
Now, my kind friend, as l have

A TALK WITH OUR FARMERS ON THE
PRICE OF WHEAT.

The EAGLE has on more than one occasion
claimed that wheat is selling too cheap, and
we nov think the wheat market is being de-
pressed by combination of operators much
below what it is really worth at the present
time. II is claimed by all grain operators
and writers on the subject that prices are
regulated at this season of the year by the
receipts, and N the spring the crop reports
are the prime causes which sends the prices
up or depresses them. 1t is now claimed by
operators in wheat that the present low
prices are justified by the immense receipts
Of wheat now arriving in our principal mar
kets. Let us reason on that point. The
visible supply of wheat now IN this country
is in round numbers thirty-eight million
bushels, worth per bushel, " cents. AT this
time last year the supply was thirty-three
millions, worth 90 cents per bushel. We
are taking the Chicago prices for the average
prise of the country. According to these
figures the immense visible supply of wheat,
thity-eight million bushels, is worth nearly
$4,000, 600 less than thirty-three million in
sight last year, and the holders of that grain
could make S4,000,000 by burning up this
surplus wheat We have no doubt but that
the smart young men who write financial
letters for the daily papers can explain this
matter satisfactorily 70 Themselves, but since
we have become old we confess our inability
10 see such fms points.

here to-day. About forty railroad repre-
sentatives were in attendance. The subject
under discussion was the granting OF rebates

World, fair. Quite an amount Of opposi-
ton was displayed to the rate. II is expect
that the decision of the meeting will be to
sell tickets to that place without any re-
bate.
The question of rates to New Orleans was
discussed but the matter was dropped, leav-
ing the present rates in force. Adjourned
to meet at Louisville on the 18th of Febru-

that provision may be made for meeting tho

grant the application.

Young woman, the delight Of her father
home and the admired of large circle of
warm friends. For many months she has
uncomplainingly and even heroically looked
out upon the dark food which rolls between
this shore and the one upon which blooms
an eternal spring and perennial youth.
Immortality o'ersweeps
All pains, all tears, all time, all fears-and
peals,
Like the eternal thunders of the deep,
Into nv cars this truth-Thou Invest for

If there are distinctions that live in heav-

her warm, loving heart and keen appreci-
alive mind rendered her life attractive here,
and her purity and goodness must exalt her
there. And Nellie.

Grow dim with age, and nature sink in
wears:
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
Unhurt amidst the war of elements
The wreck of matter and the crush OF

ON Eraotisn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Dr. d. L. Sal
mon, chief of the bureau of animal industry
has submitted to the commissioner of agri
culture voluminous report upon conta.
gious diseases Of animals, the report being
the result of experiments and investigations
made by the veterinary surgeon. Consider
/ able space is given to detailed history oil
the recent outbreak among cattle in Kansas
and description of its symptoms. DIR.
Salmon reaches the conclusion that the dis
ease was ergotsm, due to es ting fungus
known as ergot. Upon the treatment and
prevention of this disease he says: When
the first signs of disease appears the most
important point to be attended to is to make
a complete change of the food and to see
that this is of a good quality, nutritious and
free from ergot. 1t would also be proper to
give as a dose of physic from one TO two
pounds of epson salts, in order to remove
as much as possible the poison still contained
in the digestive organs and to follow this
with soft food, es mashes and roots In
the most severe cases, those in which part
of the limb is already lifeless; treatment will
avail but little. A greater number of cases,
however, have not advanced to this stage
when lameness is first noticed and these will
be greatly benefited by removing the cause
and placing the animal under conditions IA
vorable for resisting the poison. A very
important condition is warmth. Even
when the animals are fed large quantities of
ergot they seldom suffer except in cold
weather, and consequently in attempting to
check the advance of the disease, advantage
should be taken of this fact by placing the
cattle in warm sheds. Another condition
believed by some to have much influence in
the development of ergotism is the water
supply. With plenty OF water always at

A considerable crowd collected about a
bsozy individual who was shooting off his
mouth politically in front of Jocelyn &
Thomas land Office yesterday afternoon. A
policeman came along and loaded him into
wagon, taking him to the cooler, where it
is probable his patriotic ardor went down to
the freezing point last night. He will likely
deposit small campaign fund with Mr..
Glenn this morning. Another fellow as
full as n tick was seen soon after vending
his way down Douglas avenue, and de claring
in stentorian tones that Cleveland was ahead
He probably found his way TO the same
polling place that the other fellow did.
In one of the city shoe stores there is a
card which reads, Look at this and then at

shoes. The first pair is adorned with very
high French heels, while the second has
scarcely any heel, being one OF the late
style shoes. The contrast between tho two
styles is is very great and is well calculated
to call forth the exclamation above quoted.
The first are neat enough, but must be in
strumen;s Of torture, while the second are
surely a relief from the old style and great
comfort TO the wearer, besides they look
sensible and quite pretty.

and as many winters, who, it is said, has been
roaming the streets of Buffalo for several
years looking for his "pa." On the other
side is the childish old lace of Henry Ward
Beecher. On hassock at his feet is the big
moustache which Kansas brought into fame.
