Seven Years Expsrisnoe with Ensilags.

Seven years experience with ensilsge
at the Michigan Agricultural college leads
to the following conclusions: The silo
should be built Of lumber and located as
near the feeding place as possible, and on
the same level. silo % feet deep, 10
feet wide. IA feet long will be su I'll cient for
the six months feeding Of ten COWS weigh
ing 1000 pounds each. which will con
sumo 600 pounds Of ensilsge daily. For
the slo the corn should not be harvested
until we'll matured. A great deal Of the
feeding value has been lost 10 the
past by cutting while too green and sue
culent. Silage corn should never be fed
alone to obtain the best results, nor in too
large proportion when combined with 9th.
er fodder. Silage aud clover hay com .
bined make most excellent mixture for
coarse fodder. These, with bran, shorts.
corn meal. etc.. in proper proportions
make the most economical food for young
cattle and for making milk and beef.

STAND BY YOUR RECORD.

The Republican party of New Mexico
has made an excellent record in the 2StE
legislative assembly and in the admins
tration of territorial affairs during the
past fifteen months. Wholesome and
beneficial laws have been passed, the
financial affairs of the territory have been
honestly and economically administered,
honest and competent judges and officials
have been placed in Office, and the entire
conduct Of the administration has been
dignifed, honorable, respectable and sue.
cessful. During the first year of this
administration over 100000 have been
saved to the tax payers. This is record
of which the Republicans of New Mex
leo may we'll be proud. The federal
administration has aided the wool pro-
ducing and lead and silver mining inter-
ests of this territory by wise legislation
and there is no doubt, but bill pro-
viding for the settlement Of Spanish and
Mexican land claims, will pass the
present session of congress and become
law.
The Republicans Of New Mexico can
well afford to stand upon this record and
60 into the campaign upon it. No just
charge and no charge that can be SUBJ
stantiated, can be made against this
record. Of course, the Democratic papers,
politicians and bosses will lie about the
Republican party as whole, its admin
istration of the territory and individual
members Of the party. But it was ever
thus; the people will not believe them.
With this most beneficial record, and
with good, loyal and well directed work
the Republicans of New Mexico will be
successful at the elections on the coming
4th or November.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

At last it has been amicably arranged
that the Cherokee strip is to fall into the
hands OF Uncle Sam and be opened for
settlers. The Indians agree to the terms
offered by the government commissioners
and the agreement is being signed at
Kingfisher. There arel 200 Indians to sign.
The agreement recites that each man,
woman and child of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe tribes is to select in severalty
100 acres of land each, the remainder OF
their lands to be turned over to the gov
eminent, the Indians receiving 81 800, 900
| therefor, one-third cash and the remain
der to draw per cent interest until paid.
The treaty opens 100000 acres OF land
to settlement under the homestead law,
settlers to pay $1.25 per acre to the gov
eminent at the time of making final proof.
Thus the land when all entered will yield
the government 100000 This would
seem to be an advantageous deal all
around, and the entire tract will no doubt
be settled in time by American farmers,
but there will be no such rush as the
opening of Oklahoma witnessed. The
Oklahoma boom was entirely overdone,
neither climate or soil proved as repre-
scented by the boomers, and the season
has not been very suspicious one for
crops there

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH REAGAN

1t can't be possible that Texas farm
ers are jealous of New Mexico's great Pc
cos valley, where the farming-by-irriga-
ton is making such rapid strides. How
ever, then why did Senator Reagan, in
his effort to defend the wiley Powell's
schemes 60 out of his way to characterize
the present rapid settlement of Pecos
valley as "a New Mexico land steal" or
words to that effect? Senator Teller, OF
Colorado, always New Mexicos tried and
true friend, very promptly called the
Texas Senator to terms for his groudless
assertions, and showed them up in such
a clear light that the senate could not but
see the weakness of Powell's position and
the mistake of his champion from Texas.

some benefit be sdopted, is the establish,

some benefit be adopted, is the establish
ment OF territorial board OF education,
the creation of the Office of territorial ST.
perintendent of instruction and the privi-
lege to school districts to allow them to
tax themselves over and above the gen.
eral territorial school tax and to issue
bonds for school houses.
The provisions for schools and edaca'
tional matters contained in the September
constitution are far superior to those con-
tanned in the Perkins school bill.
We need no congressional interference
in this matter. The people of New Mex
leo can legislate in the case better than
congress, because the latter does not know
what New Mexico needs, The bill was
gotten up primarily by few Deming and
Socorro Democrats, who have buildings
on hand, that they want to sell to their
respective counties, as school houses.
Let congress give US the lands set aside
for school purposes in New Mexico, and
let congress give us statehood, and in five
years we will show the people of the
United States common school system,
second to none in the union for efficiency,
liberality and thoroughne!s.
The people who so far prayed congress
for the enactment of the Perkins bill, and
who have signed petitions in favor Of it,
simply did not know what they were do
ing The bill ought not to pass.

DURING the Democratic administration,
from 1886 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to 1000 per
annum. During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number OF prisoners, were $4,000.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

DURING three and halt years OF the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
torial penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
of United States prisoners the sum OF
$500. During the first twelve months
OF the present Republican administration
from March 1889, to March 4 1890,
(there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1890 there was received the
amount OF 5000, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
the present administration Of the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravagant and inefficient.

HE LIVES, BUT DOES NOT LEARN

Congressman Mills, of Texas, in his
speeches, now being delivered by him in
Missouri, on behalf of the Democratic
candidates for office, is trying to scare
the Republican party. He says if the
federal election bill is passed, it will meet
with armed opposition in the south. Mr..
Mills is evidently one Of those men, who
live, but do not learn. 1t strikes the
average observer, that the business OF
resisting the laws and authority OF the
United States was tried by fellows Of
Mr.. Mills stamp several years ago, and
was not brilliant success. If Mr.. Mills
and his people care to try the same thing

ARTESIAE WELLS.

The artesian well as a means OF irrigat-
ing farm lands is beginning to command
marked respect, much more than was
thought at first that it could, but the more
the subject is investigated the more light
comes to the surface of it, The Dakotas,
southern Colorado, California, Texas and
other southern states have been success
full in sinking for artesian water, thous-
aands of acres being now irrigated by this
means. Why not in New Mexico ?
Citizens of this territory have no cause
for encouragement in the few experiment.
al failures that have taken place here and
there. These efforts have in reality been
superficial in their character; it is depth
that is needed, and here is presented an
enticing field for some enterprising COM
munity to take hold with determination
to succeed. Take California as an illus
tration.
There water is found by artesian boring
at depths varying from $50 to 700 feet and
rises from five to twenty feet above the
surface in great quantities. More than
100 wells have been bored, and each Of
half a dozen Of the largest, when left
open, pours out more than 100000 gal
Ions daily, enough to abundantly irrigate
200 acres OF alfalfa or kitchen garden,
