much here that fortunes are not
picked up in a day at this place.
This is a small mining town of
some 1900 or 1000 inhabitants, and
just as wicked as the Prince or
Darkness ever wanted it to be,
people led captives as it were by
the Devil at his will. Onr town
has one hall or public building
owned by private individuals that
is rented for a school house, court
house and dancing hall where the
old as well as the young partici-
pate in the giddy whirl, and even
mothers with babes at their breast
attend; and last summer we had
preachingend Sunday school in
the same house, but our Sunday
school had to go into winter quar-
ters the first snow that fell, but it
has never never been too cold yet
for dances and shindigs. If shey
want to raise money for school
purposes or anything of the kind,
there must be dance to get it.
OF course anything for church
purposes would be the last thing
thought of here. To those of our
young friends who are thinking of
coming to Hermosa to make their
fortunes, l would advise you to
take a trip north, and come from
there here and never let it be
known you are from Texas if You
want to get work and expect to
succeed wen here. This place is
mostly settled up with people
from the north, who have no use
for Texans; they seem to imagine
that Texas is a very illiterate place
where people are all Of the dare
devil cowboy stamp, that one Of
ten reads of but seldom Fees. But
the people here are not so much to
blame, for you know a great many
have been run out of Texas who
have only been there Il short time
and come TO New Mexico, and vet
there are others Who have become
desperate through the treatment
they received here and do things
they would not think of doing any,
where else. But I have often
wandered what the people of our
proud Lone Star state would think
if they knew in what estimation
they were held by their little Ter
ritorisl sister that joins it. No
doubt there are fortunes here, but
digging and blasting through the
stone to find where they are is the
trouble. So you had better iIet
we'll enough alone is the advice of
an cid Friend.

Cleveland Bays.

tits little singular that so very
few Cleveland Bay horses are own
ed and bred in many of our states.
Occasionally one Is seen and his
fine proportions, elegant carriage,
gentle disposition and strength
combined with good road quail
ties, make him the admiration of
the observer. The breed is one
of the Oldest established in exist
enee to-day For more than one
hundred and fifty years their
breeding and crosses for the per-
petuation of the old blood has
been a noted feature of their histo-
ry. From them have descended
all the present breeds of coach
horses, a fact which no one de-
MES. Horse u.en and breeders
will acknowledge that they have
superior advantages over the 9th
er breeds of draught aud coach
horses. The principle advantage
is their power of reproducing
themselves in regard to size, color
and general makeup. They are
especially noted for their power Of
producing coach teams, as they
breed such uniform colts that
they are easily matched up, a fact
greatly to the advantage of the
owner of the brood mare.
The Cleveland Bays stand six
teen hands to sixteen and three
quarter hands high, weigh any
where from twelve hundred to
sixteen hundred pounds, and are
always bay in color, with black
points. They have the reputation
of being the most easily trained
and broken and the most docile of
any known breed, even the gentle
Pereheron being placed second in
this respect. Another thing in
their favor is the fact that half |
bloods are hard to tell from full
bloods as to size, weight and gen
eral appearance. These sell gen
orally from two hundred dollars
up to six-hundred dollars. Full |
bloods sell for about the same fig
ures as other breeds of English /
and French draught horses. They (
are a general purpose horse in
every sense of the word, good on
road as well as before the pillow,
workers, not inclined to
oalk under heavy loads, and capa-
Ole of doing as much and as hard
work as any breed of draught
horses. The breeding is general
y confined to the Western states,
where they come in competition
With the English Shire and Clydes- /,
lale, Percheron, Belgium and
French coach horse. W. NJ.
Fielde, who is large Iowa breed
II and importer of this class of
as well as the other
lraught breeds, is an enthusiastic
ldmirer of them, and says: 81 1
confidently believe them to be the
coming horse of America"

An American contraction. n.

An American contractor, put
ting down system of water works
in Mexico, opposite Eagle Pass,
says that in negotiating for iron
pipe he has been in correspond
ence with English firms and iron
establishments in Pittsburg and
in Alabama, he finds that he can
buy iron pipe cheaper from Ala
bama than from England, although
he could have his brought through
in bond free of duty. The price of
pipe delivered on board vessels
In Liverpool 3as only four dollars
less per ton than the Alabama ar
ticle laid down at Eagle Pass.
Thus the south, within a few years
has established an industry which
successfully completes with all the
world, and as the years go on there
will be still others equally success
full, for we have resources, skill,
labor and climate not surpassed in
combination anywhere on the
globe.

Fragments for Farmers.

The advantage in well titled
land is that the surface water
drains off rapidly without washing.
1t warns up quicker and seeding
can be done easier.
Good land well cultivated, good
stock well kept, and home iber-
ally supplied, tend in themselves
to enrich the farmers and to adj
vance the widest interest of the
community. sts
A stable floor Of good sound
srpuce or pine planks, thoroughly
soaked through with crude petro
leum, will resist dampness and de-
cay for a long time, according to
the American Agriculturist, and
will keep clean and wholesome.
Be careful in using salt on the
ground. Salt VIII kill weeds to a
certain extent, and it is also a rem
edy for some kind of grubs in the
soil, but salt will kill other plants
as well, and its use may result IL
a loss of some of the garden crops.
Method, precision, industry,
forethought, economy, sound and
ready judgment and Intelligence
these are the elements of success
full business. They are as essen
tial to the farmer of to-day as to
the business man in the greatest
commercial centre.
Farmers doubtless can do much
themselves in the way of econo-
MIXING their working expenses.
To be properly managed in all its
details e farm requires the closest
attention. Indeed there is no
more difficult position to fill at the
day than that of tie sue
cessful farmer.
The farmer who thinks there
can be nothing new in agriculture
should remember that thirty or
forty years ago his grandfather
thought the same way. 1t is a fact
agriculture has made more adj
during the past ten
years than in any other ten years
Of the worlds history.

The Vegetable garden should not
be without flowers. In the neg
lected corners may be often
grown enough of flowers to bright
en- the household and make cheer
full the table, morning, noon and
night. And we are well satisfied
that flowers should never be look
ed upon in the country as a luxu-
~, they should be considered one
of the necessities of life and
should be provided for the home
as regularly and systematically as
hay is provided for the barn.
That man who neglects to provide
flowers for his family in the coun-
try, is only half man at the best;
for he leaves out of his calcula-
lions the highest and best element
of human nature, having no
thought for the love of beautiful
things and the fountain of happi-
ness these beautiful things will
supply in his family.-New Farm.

Farming has been honored by
the wise in all ages of the world,
and in our blessed land of liberty
it has been extolled as the field of
the largest liberty and surest COM
petence, the god-appointed conser-
vator of public and private virtue
upheld by personal contentment
and perfect peace. OF course,
this high-sounding panegyric was
never intended to apply to farm
ing universally-to the lazy, the
ignorant, the unthrifty-but to
farming as it should be followed
in many instances; not to be con-
stitutional failures, but to those
who court success with ardor and
intelligence; or, in other words, to
good farmers. tits as true now
as it ever was and always will be,
that good farmers are the hap
piest and best-contented people
we have, without exception. There
are number of farmers papers
not agricultural papers which
would have their readers believe
that farmers are the worst OPP
pressed people on the continent,
and that they are, consequently,
intensely unhappy and ought al
ways to be armed to the teeth, and
in search of some terrible chimera,
the cause of all their woes. Why
not spend this misdirected energy
in an effort to make good farmers
of them? Give them good crops
and good stock to eat the crops,
and as they get out of debt and ba-
sin to surround themselves with
some of the comforts of this life,
they will become Independent and
contente6, and the evils which
they are led to believe SO griev-
iously Cypress them, will depart
on the wings of the east wind

Imaginary Ailments of Woman.

There is a large class of women
in constant trouble about their
health, although the same amount
of strength in a cheerful woman
would be taken as healthiness.
You fear to accost her with, "How
are you today" for that would
be the signal for a shower of
complaints. She is always get
ting a lump on her side, an en-
largement of the heart or a curve
in the spine. If. some of these
disorders did not actually come,
she would be sick all the same
sick of disappointment. If you
should find her memorandum
book, you would discover in it
receipts for the cure of all styles
of diseases, from softening of the
brain In woman, down to the bots
In a horse. Her bedroom shelf is
an apothecary-infantum, where
medicines of all kinds may be
found, from large bottles full of
head-wash for diseased craniums,
down to the smallest vial for the
removing of corns from the feet.
Thousands of women are being
destroyed by this constant suspic-
ioD of their health.
Others settle down into a
gloomy state from fore holdings of
trouble to come. They do not
know how it is but they are always
expecting that something will
happen. They imagine about one
presentiment week. A bird
flies into the window, or a salt
oeller upset on the table, or
cricket chirps on the hearth. and
they SILVER all over, and expect
messenger speedily to come in hot
haste to the front door and rush in
with evil tidings.
Oh, do away with all forbodings
Of the future. Cheer up, discon-
solate onesl Go forth among ma
ture. Look up toward the heay-
ems insnffArohI-- right by day, or
