INFORMATION ABOUT THE RED
 POLLED CATTLE.
There Are Many Points in Their Favor Miscellaneous Notes on the Hem nery, the Dairy, the Farm

The Red Polls.

J. NJ. Chase, in thcyMichigan Farm CT. presents some of the merits of this breed. He says: I have received a good many letters asking about the Red Polls, their history and their good qualities. 1 thought short article telling something about them would not be amiss. Tie Red Polled cattle originated in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk in England. So far back counties a breed of polled cattlo re- nowned for their hardness and excel lent milking qualities. During the last half century, number of enter prising men of that section have taken special interest in the improvement of this breed, and we have as the result the pure bred Red Poll of the present day. These animals are usually of q rich red color sometimes shade lighter, ot medium size. small bones.
 good form and particularly clean and stylish about the head and neck. The cows are frequently very plump and straight when dry, but when giving milk become lank and less pleasing to the eye of any but the dairyman. In size they are classed as medium but individually they differ much in this respect. Some of the heaviest milking cows of the breed are but little larger than the average Jersey, while others equal the weight of large Shorthorns,
 hence it is within the power of the breeder, by selection and care in breed ing, to form a herd of the size he may prefer. With few exceptions the COWS have good udders, with good sized teats, the latter being particularly noticeable in comparison with some of the popular milking breeds. The milk is unusually rich in cream. and well made butter from Red Polled cows will make flesh very rapidly, and can soon be converted into prime beef animals.

THE RAILROADS.

The extraordinary weather Of the past
week has been particularly severe on the
railroads. On the A., T. & s. F., within
forty-eight hours, there was bridge
burned near San Marcisl, a train derailed
on trestle at Sslzbacher, brakeman
badly mashed at Ortiz and a freight col
lision at Shoemaker. In the latter, two
engines and eight cars were destroyed,
Engineer Adams and Brakeman Rueb
were killed and Engineer Edmunds in
jured.
The accident was caused by Engi.
neer Adams being fifteen min
utes ahead OF time. He was
found between the engine and ten
der, with both legs broken and the es.
Gaping steam cooking the flesh on the
upper part of his body. For about three
hours he was held in this condition before
he could be released, piteously begging
for death at the hands of the bystanders.
Brakeman Rueb was buried under the
train, several coal cars and their con-
tents pilling upon him. Both men are
dead.
On the A. 4 P. road also the high
waters In the streams, particularly in the
Rio Colorado near Winslow, have washed
out several sections Of track and all trains
are delayed.
On the narrow gauge the first train In
three days arrived Saturday night. Yes
terday ths baggage coach and tender were
raised up out Of the ditch and brought to
the shops here. The bridge will be re-
built to-day and trains running regularly

Hon. II. B. Catron and Pen,tentisry Brick.

Hon. It. B. Cstron and Penitentisry Brick.
To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, N. M. Feb. %, 1891.--Sir: I:
Charges are being made that Hon. T. B.
Catron has sptreived lot Of brick from
the territorial penitentiary for which he
has failed to pay. These charges are
absolutely and utterly groundless and
false.
The facts are these: Mr.. Catron made
an agreement with the penitentiary COM
missioners to take 100000 brick for
the purpose of building business block
here; upon receiving the contract from
Mr.. Catron for the erection of this block
ne transferred the agreement to the nm
dersigned. have received about $780,
900 brick on this agreement and am
to receive the balance as soon as the
weather permits me to haul them. The
amount due the territory will be paid az
soon as the contract is finished, or if the
territory desires the amount now, it can
have it. am also to pay an extra charge
for the pressed brick furnished, although
| paid for the use Of the machine for that
work.
Some OF the brick that have received
under Mr.. Cstron's agreements have
used in the erection Of the electric COM
pany's power house at the same price that
charged for the brick for Mr.. Catron's
block.
alone am responsible for the brick
and entire arrangement, and Mr.. Catron
has nothing to do with it. This is simple
justice to Mr.. Catron, hence ask its pub
lication. Very respectfully,
MICHAEL BERARDINELrI.

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO
Ex-GOv. Foster, Of Ohio, named as Mr..
Windom's Successor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The president
has nominated Charles Foster, Of Ohio, to
be secretary Of the treasury.
Charles Foster, ex-governor of Ohio,
was born near Tiffin, Ohio, April, 1928.
He was taken by his father in his 5th
year to what is now Fostoria, Ohio, then
wilderness. After receiving his edu.
cation at Norwalk academy, he became a
successful merchant. He was also inter-
ested in politics, but held no Office till
1870. when he was sent to congress as q
Republican, and three times reelected,
though his district gave clear
majority each time on the
Democratic general ticket. While
he was q member of the commit
tee of ways and means he was active in
bringing to light the Sanborn contract
frauds and in the movement that resulted
in the repeal Of the moiety laws. Early
in 1874 he visited New Orleans as chair
man Of an investigating committee and in
bis official report he severely criticised the
methods of both parties in that state.
He was elected governor of Ohio in 1879
and reelected in 1881, holding Office from
January, 1880, till January, 1884. His ad-
ministration was marked by efforts to reg
ulate the sale Of intoxicating liquors. The
constitution Of the state forbade the is
suing of licenses, and Gov. Foster, in his
message to the legislature, recommended
the submission to the people OF amend
ments that should establish either prohi-
bitlon, high license or local option.
About two years ago Gov. Foster was
appointed member Of the commission
to treat with the Sioux Indians in the
Dakotas, the other members being Gen.
Crook and Major William Warner.

Irrigation Reports.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The acting sec-
retary of agriculture has sent to the senate
as part of the answer of the department
of agriculture to the inquiry called for by
the senate, the report Of work in Novem-

neer of artisan and underfow investiga
tons and by W. W. Follett, his assistant.
This report covers large section Of the

bracing considerable portions of Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado. 1t creates great
interest and the accompan ying map and

the existence and value for irrigating pur-
poses Of waters imbibed or soaked in the
earth from regional rainfall held in the
valley stratums and by seeping from
streams or stored below the alluvium from
mountain drainages.

OLD AZTEC MINES.
Interesting Archaeological Discovery Re
GENTLY Made in New Mexico.

A group of old Spanish or Aztec
Las Placitas of this country. about
twenty-five miles from this city, says
an Albuquerque (New MeXico) CORES
pondent of the st. Louis Republic. So
many years have elapsed since these
mines were worked that all trace of
their hi story has been lost and the
present inhabitants of the country
know absolutely nothing about them.
ProspGctors recently got on the trail
of what 1hev thought was something
good, anol by pushing their investiga-
ton came upon unmistakable evidences
of what were undoubtedly once rich
workings.
very extensive system of under
ground work has now been brought to
light. The minerals discovered. while
not Of the highest grade. is rich enough,
to pay handsomely. and runs general
ly from $50 TO $50 to the ton. The re-
mains have been found in several
places of what We're once furnaces fol'
smelling the ores. There are also large,
quantities of Stag, and in several in-
stances have been found what are.
clearly remaius of implements used by
the wOrkmen.
But what Will still be more interest
ing to the general reader is that these
explorations have developed unmistak-
able evidences of the fact that the
work on these mines, which was per-
formed nobody knows how MANY CEN
turies ago, was brought to a summary
conclusion by an earthquake or gen
eral upheavel of some sort, for not only
are the NINE workings smelters. fur
naces, ETC., bnried under some fifteen
feet of earth. but there has also been
found on the same level the ruins of
what was once an aqueduct for bring

to, is on the eastern slope of the Sandia
mountains about twenty miles from
Albuquerque and promises to become
one OF the mosr interesting fields of
archaeological research yet discovered
in this country.

Il President Gets Some Pointers.

Pennsylvania railroad men are
chuckling over Il new story about
President Roberts that is going the
rounds. Upon one of his recent trips
of inspection Mr.. Roberts, us is his
custom, invited the superintendent of
the division on which he was travelling
into his private car, and asked him
about the condition of his division
The superintendent, very enthusi-
astic young man, had only been in
charge for short time, and had been
brought from far distant part of the
system. He answered promptly:
well, I'm getting it into pretty fair
shape now. but you know. Mr.. Roberts.
this is an awful poor piece of road.
The - fool who built this division
didn't know any more about engineer
ing than il cow. He made heavy
grades where he had ought to have
cut out, and put in trestleS where he
ought to have filled up solid. and put
curves on bridges aud bridges on
curves. and altogether made one of the
worst pieces of track in the United
States. IL does seem TO me Mr..
Roberts, that half the civil engineers

moments pause. This is a pretty
bad country, you know, and the road
is good enough considering the busi-
ness there is upon it. You'll like it
better after YOU have boen here longer.

They say the superintendent tainted
in his chair. When he revived he
muttered something about people
knowing more about railroad building
now than they did thirty years ago.
and took occasion TO excuse himself
rs soon as possible. His unfortunate
speech did not do him any injury with
the president, who was observed to be
in remarkably good humor all the rest

The memory of "thc dog of Mara
thon" lives with the memory of the
Grecian heroes who fell with it in that
famous battle against the Persian
hosts.
A monument was built over the re-
mains of the dog owned by Xantippus,

He Loved Sausas se.

A correspondent of the YOUTHS Com
paaion sends from Michigan a true
story of farmers dog who has been
guilty of obtaining goods under false
pretenses.
He is extremely fond of sausage. and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them for himself. carrying writ
ten order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
butcher shop, bringing his masters or
der, and by and by the butcher became
careless about reading the document.
Finally when settlement day came. the
farmer complained that he was charged
with more sausages than he had order
ed.
The butcher was surprised. And the
next time Lion came in with slip of
paper between his teeth he took the
trouble to look at it. The paper was
blank ana further investigation show
ed that whenever the dog felt crav-
ing for sausage he would look around
for piece of paper, and trotted Off to
the butchers.
The farmer is something out of pcck-
ct, but squares the account by boast
ing of the dogs Intelligence.
