IT Is GRATIFYING to note the de- velopment of home enterprises and industries in and around St. Johns. We observe on every hand added and improved facilities for irriga- ton and cultivation of the land, and growing disposition to rely less upon other markets for those necessaries of life, which a little effort and industry will supply at our own doors.
 A compromise has been reached by arbitration for an equitable dis tribution of the river water as a necessary step for more extensive operations in tilling that portion of the soil which is accessible to the irrigating ditches. TEe bottom just across the river from town has nearly all been taken up so far as it may be made available, and is in tersected in every direction by run ming streams, which can be diverted upon the growing crops whenever it may seem needful. This waste which has heretofore stretched out before the vision as a dreary desert, prolific in dusty looking sage and jack rabbits, now exhibits in every direction the handiWork of hus- bandry; neat cottages and adobes have sprung up, young orchards are beginning to bud and leaf, and na- ture, in acknowledgement of the kindly deeds has carpeted the land scape with a living green. Wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa, corn and gar den vegetables embrace the variety of crops grown. We are glad to see such evidences of future inde- pendence, and heartily congratu- late our Mexican friends as the prime movers in this good cause. It marks the beginning of a new era in the industrial history of our people, and we hope they will never cease in we'll doing, until all the waste places around us will blos- som and flourish as an oasis which has sprung up from the midst of the trackless expanse of sand and sterility.
 The establishment of the fouring mill by our Mormon citizens, is an other of many steps in the right direction, and while 1t will prove an institution of incalculable bene- fit to the town and county at large, it reflects no little credit upon the progressive spirit of it's originators. By converting raw material into a valuable, merchantable and neces- sary article of domestic economy, it is a factor of no little conse- quence in the promotion of thrift

IT IS said the Public Lands Com mittee of Congress will report fav- orably the repeal of the desert land, timber culture and pre-emption laws. This will make it a little more difficult for large moneyed syndicates to gobble up whole coun- ties, but we predict they will find some means to accomplish their ends.

THE Las Vegas Gazette has been purchased by the owners of the Stock Grower. This shows how the latter named paper has been patronized by the cattlemen of New Mexico and adjacent Territories. The Stock Grower was started about three years ago as a weekly, and Is still running as such, and has made enough for it's proprietors in that time to enable them to ab- sorb the leading daily in one of the liveliest cities of New Mexico. As cattle paper and the organ of the cow-men, the Stock Grower is a decided success. We hope the en- ergetic proprietors may meet with as great reward in their new under taking, but doubt the policy of changing it into an evening paper

PUSH The PIGS.
The Faster the Growth the Less the Cost
and the Greater the Profit.

The Faster the Growth the Less the Cost
and the Greater the Profit.
1t does not pay to keep hogs or other
animals after they have stopped grow
ing. Neither does it pay to let them
stop growing at any period before they
have attained their full development.
Any such stoppage of growth is not
only dead loss, by consuming food to
just maintain the animal IN stotm quo,
but the pig is stunted aud will never
reach the point of development, in its
future growth, which it would have
reached had it been kept growing right
along all the time. The old-fashioned
way of keeping over spring pigs on
half-starVing rations, to be finally shut
up, fea and fattened some eighteen
months after birth, was a most IN
economical one. Nearly a years feed
went largely to waste, and the hogs
were but little larger when killed than
they might have been made, by jul
dicious feeding, six or eight months
after birth. The more rapid the growth
can be made, and the sooner some
thing like full development can be
reached, the less the cost and the
greater the profit. The second years
growth on hogs properly fed and kept
is not very profitable 1t is much bet
ter to start them in February or March
and push them for all there is in them
until some time in December, when it
will be found that the eight-months'-
old shoat is heavier and better than the
average eighteen-months '-old hog used
to be. This we believe is now pretty
well understood, and few pigs get kept
over the winter unless they come late
in the season or are retained for breed
ing purposes. There is an old adage
in trade to the effect that the nimble
sixpence is better than the slow shil-
ling. The principle involved will APP
ply in pig-raising. 1t is better to grow
two crops in two years than to take
that time for growing one. The age
is fast one, and farmers as well as
other people must study and practice
all the true economies. National Lice

* Pernicious Custom Which Is the Chief
Cause of Contraction of the Hoof.
Among the causes of contraction of
the hoof is the prevalent custom of cut
ting away the bars which ordinarily
support the heels and prevent their
approximation. Iris method is direct
" operative Ia producing this deform-
ity. which, in some cases, may be
considered in the light of local atrophy
diminished nutrition. Diminished
nutrition generally results from disor-
der in the digestive organs, SO that
contraction of the hoof and indigestion
may coexist, although many physicians
deny the co-existence of the diseases.
Contraction Of this kind is not apt to
occasion lameness, because there is a
very low grade of vital action in the
parts. But contraction is now and
then the result of deep-seated disease
within the hoof-nayicularthr tbs and
faminitis, for example; the animal is
then dead lame while the infiamma-
tory diathesis lasts.
Observation-Disclosures associated
with infiammatory action OF the tissues
or cartilages of the foot must be treated
in the same manner as recommended
for faminitis; in all cases endeavor to
give the frog bearing on the ground,
and in order to do this the shoe ought
to be removed. A dry, brittle and
contracted hoof may be improved by
repeated poulticing with soft soap and
rye meal, applied cold. So soon. as. the
hoof softens let it be dressed, night and
morning. with trrpentine, 1inseed oil
and powdered charcoal, equal parts.
A rnn at grass in soft pasture the
animal having nothing more than tips
on his feet, is the best treatment A
very popular notion exists that cow
manure has q wonderful effect on a
contracted hoof, but filth and dirt of
every kind are unfayorable to healthy
action. If any benefit belongs to such
an objection able application it is due
to the prop "rty it possesses of retain
ing moisture; therefore cold poultices
and water are far superior. Clay and
most earth placed in the stall for the
horse to stand on are far inferior to
stuffing of wet oakum, which can be re-
moved at pleasure. In order to keep
it in contact with the sole insinuate
two strips of wood between the sole
and shoe, one running lengthwise and
the other crosswise of the foot. 1t af-

Rum and Capital.

1t is very well to cry out about the
tyranny Of capital. Capital is natural
ly tyrannical, all the world over, and
well deserves to be watched. But GER
tainly it is not capital that rules our
cities, or, at all events, if capital does
rule in them it rules indirectly. Per-
haps it may turn out that the large
section of oUr Common Councils-the
majority in the Councils of most of the
large cities-which represents the
saloon-keeping interest also acts when
necessary as the representative of capt.
tal-that is to say, of that form of capi-
tai which is called doodle. Now, as
compared with the public at large, tho
saloon-keepers are very small body
of men. BY what right do they take
into their hands the management in
the first instance of the public interests
of a city? Does the sale of liquor so
cultivate mans heart and mind as to
qualify him to guide and direct his fell
low-citizens? Does the watering and
doctoring of liquors, and the tapping
of beer made from glucose and grape
sugar, teach hitherto ignorant man,
perhaps, how best TO make contracts
involving great sums of money for
public works in such a way as to
guard the public interests? Of course
not Every one knows that the whole
system of our city government is rot
