Seeding and Propagating.

O~~0
The most carefully seeded meadow is
the most productive. Grass seed should
be sown with winter grains, because
they grow thinner on the ground than
spring grain; the young plants are less
shaded, and the growth forms with
stronger roots, and is better able to
Withstand the hot SUI and dry weather.
After harvesting the grain the seed is
often destroyed, because the roots of
clover and timothy are so near the sur
face that they dry up. The ground is
crusty for want of cultivation and weight
of snow after the grain is sown. The
remedy is simple but rarely used. The
grain should be narrowed into the
ground after it has settled, and is dry
enough to mellow under the harrow.
Winter grain ia improved by narrowing,
atfording a lighter soil for the spread
and growth of the roots, covering the
field with stronger growth, consequent
" increasing the yield. This process
insures the certainty of grass seeding
as seed is expensive, farmers cannot af-
ford its loss or @trust to luck" Two
crops cannot grow in the same place
simultaneously. Filling the ground

and sowing grass seed at the same time,

cations to determine the true value of
ensilage, the mass of farmers need not
hesitate to prepare for a crop of the old

depend upon it in winter as much as
upon timothy. Though not equal to
good hay, it has great value in connec-
ton with it. A sad waste of food ma
terial is to let stalks stand in the field
untouched, or at best half consumed BY
stock; they are a trouble in after cult

leaves are to be utilized or not, after
husking the corn, there is no better

sown to corn for succulent fodder alone
when grass fails in autumn.

A New York Sun reporter has had an
interview with J. g. Bookwalter, lately
Democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio, and who has recently returned
from the wheat fields of India and Aus
tralia. He says:
"By the aid of labor-saving machinery
this country can grow agricultural
products that would meet the reeuire-
ments Of at least $4,000 900 people. AS
we have only 100000 of home con
sumers we are obliged to look to foreign
countries for q consumption of a por-
ton, else the price at which we would
be compelled to sell the whole amount
in this country would fall below the re-
munerative point, rs the price of the
exported surplus fixes the value of the
whole product.
ITO know how important a factor this
expectation of agricultural products has
been in maintaining the prosperity of
this country it is only necessary to re-
fer to the fact that in the last ten years
those products in this country amount
edto $4,000, 900 for home consumption,
besides furnishing $6,0OO,O 600, 600 for
expectation. It is therefore apparent,
since the price of agricultural products
is fixed in foreign countries, that it is
just as important for the farmers in
Alabama Or Iowa to consult the daily
quotations in the market of Liverpool
and Kurachee as it is to consult the
quotations of Chicago and New York.
"The agricultural products of this

from the fact that the price of that
which they consume and do not pro-
duce is SO much greater than like prices
to the FARMERS of other countries that it
is dificult-even though our farmers
possess certain advantages over them
Ito produce the same things at as low
q price. This anomaly exists in our in
dustrial system, that while the price,of
what our farmers and planters receive
for their products is fixed by compensar
ton in foreign markets, the price o fthat
which they consume and do not pro-
duce is arbitrarily fixed by the Congress
of the United States. It would seem,
in all fairness, that the price of what
they buy should be fixed in the same
markets that fix the price at which they
sell. It is remarked that the agricult-
wrists of this country seem not to have
discovered the fact that, having for.
many years competed with the peas
antry and cheap labor Of France, Rus
STA and South America, and now having
to confront a new rival in India, who
works for 5 cents q day, there is staring
him in the face the necessity of reduc-
ing the cost of production"

INTERVIEW WITH DELEGATi
COL JEWETT.

COL JEWETT.
The division which developed a
the Republican Convention held Il.
Santa Fe last week, cOntounded anG
perplexed us. We therefore losl
no time in interviewing our dele
gate, Col. Jewet., after the return
of that gentleman. The following
is a condensed summary of the in
terview:
QUEs. Could the break in the
Republican Convention have been
avoided by reasonable concessions
from the maiorityl
ANS. No. 1t was known that
every concession would be made.
except the rights Of the majority.
The majority insisted on its right
to organize the Convention and
construct the Platform. There was
a general understanding that no
endorsement or denunciation of
particular men would be permitted.
There was general agreement
that even grave offenses against
the honor of the party should be
passed over as lightly as possible
in the interest of harmony. But
no concession short of absolute con-
troll of the Convention, Platform
and party, would be accepted by
the minority.
Q. Then you bolted ?
A. That we were not in any
sense bolters," and that the pro-
priety aud necessity of our course
is generally recognized, Is made
sufficiently evident by the attitude
of the press. All of it which has
the least weight in the scale of
public opinion, is either with us, or
demands for us respectful consid-
Grafton.
Q. Was there at any time any
substantial difference of opinion
among the members of the majori-
ty respecting its action in view OF
the circumstances
A. None. The full aggregate
material Of the majority was OF
the very highest. Very few of the
gentlemen composing it are candi-
dates for Office. Most of them are
business men OF high standing, all
have substantial interests in New
Mexico, and most of them have
become familiar with her needs by
long residence. The public inter
ests were the considerations chiefly
urged by its members in the delib-
erations of the caucus. There was
ageneral a agreement that whatever
was right was also expedient. The
future was taken into account very
thoroughly. We verify believe
that to the Republican party,
purged Of selt-seeklng and mcom-
petence in high places, the Terri
tory must look tor its substantial
development, We also believe,
that if our honest purpose to effect
a reform brings upon us tempo
rary defeat, it will entually draw
to our support all that is best and
truest in New Mexico, and secure
a lease of power for such term of
years as the party may continue to
deserve it. The majority of men
everywhere are honest and true,
gnd it is upon the honest patriotism
OF the people that we rely. We of
course expect the opposition of all
interested in the old order OF things,
Of all land-grabbers, grant "tloat-
ers," monopolists, and professional
Office holdeIs, and we prefer to
have their opposition.
.. Do you expect the election of

To the Republicans of Lincoln County


You have right to know from
your delegation to the late Terrific
rial Convention, the details of their
service, and the reasons of their
action therein.
On the morning Of August 25th,
your delegation organized in Santa
Fe, by the choice Of Frank Lesnet,
chairman. David NJ Easton was
appointed your member of fine Ter
ritorial Committee, vice Davidson,
removed from the County, and was
admitted to ms seat. In common
with all other delegates yours await
ed the announcement by the Terri
torial Committee of the hour of as
sombling.
That Committee first determined
by a vote of 8 to 7, to recommend
Don Pedro Sanchez to the Conven-
ton as is temporary Chairman.
Next came up the case of two
delegations from San Miguel. The
powers of the Committee were linz
tied by precedent to an examina-
ton Of the credentials, leaving the
question of the merits to the Con-
vention. Nor is it understood that
the committee exceeded its powers
Finding that the delegation headed
by Don Eugenio Romero had ere
den ials proper in form, emanating
from the proper authority, and
that no other claimants had such
credentials, the Committee unani-
mously deciled the Romero dele
cation to be PrtHea .facja entitled to
SIT and vote in the Convention, and
instructed its Chairman, Col. Bree-
den, accordingly. The discussion
OF this case had absorbed so much
time that the meeting of the Con
yention was postponed by the Ter
ritoYial Committee until 10 o'clock
on Tuesday, Aug. 26th. When
that hour arrived, the meeting of
the Convention was further post
poned until - noon. During the
interval Il plan was secretly elabo-
rated by means Of which to over
ride the will of the majority, and
and organize the Convention in the
interest Of the minority.
At II m, the Convention was
called to order by Col. Breden, and
the recommendation of the Hon.
Pedro Sanchez for temporary Chair
man was stated by him. Where
upon, a directed by the caucus of
the majority, David NJ. Easton, of
Lincoln, nominated for the same
place, Hon. Tranquinlino Lima.
No one at all verscd in parliamen-
tary law need be informed that no
other business was then in order.
Nevertheless. resolution was Of

vention reassembled. The Com
mittee on Platform and Resolutions
reported. Their report was adopt
ed as read, after full discussion,
and at II m, the Convention adj
iournen sine die.
The nomination of Col. Ryner-
son has every validity which a ma
iority Of the legally elected dele
gates to a regular Republican Con
vention could give it. No delegate
sat or voted in the Convention
(from winch he received his nomi-
nation) who did not have every
evidence of a legal election, which
your chairman of the county com
mittee could give to yonr own del
egation.
Your delegates, in common with
all the other delegates Of the ma
iority, exhausted every effort to Sc
cure harmony, and were ready to
make every concession to obtain it,
except the abandonment Of your
rights represented IN their persons.
This being the case, they recon-
mend that you abide the action of
the regular Republican Convention
and that you heartily sustain its
nominee, Col. VIM. L. Rynerson,
of Dona Ana. We ask your at
tention to the Platform, which one
of your representatives assisted in
framing, and confidently expect
that the conduct Of your delegates,
the character of the Platform, and
that of the candidate, will all, and
equally, command your approval.
My colleagues having gone to
their homes, By way of Las Cruces
are not present to sign this state
ment, but | accept the full respon.
sibllity therefor, for myself, and
for them.
