Thirty Years Arn.

In writing of Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Francis II. Underwood speaks of the Al
lantic club of thirty years ago. He SAYS:
The absolute loss of those conversations
and encounters of wit, when Emerson,
Longfellow. Holmes, Lowell and others
sat about the board, is greatly to be re-
GREETED.
Lowell probably uttered more elabor-
ate misunderstanding with newborn
images; Holmes made the swiftest PLAY
and scored most points serious and comic.
Meanwhile Emerson's wise face was
lighted by a miraculous smile that would
have been the delight and despair of {,
painter.

IRRIGATION IN NEW MEXICO.

The census bulletin on irrigation in New Mexico throws good deal of light upon the conditions under which farm ing in that Territory is pursued. The figures published show that the cost of land when prepared for cultivation, in- cluding the original cost of water right is upon an average $1S.54, assuming the cost of the wild land to be $1 .25 per acre. It appears also that the annual return per acre, after deducting the annual ex- pense for water, is $11.26.
 It is hardly necessary to say that the average price of land which has been prepared for cultivation is, including the water right, much more than $1S.54. This sum represents only what, upon the average, it would cost a settler upon wild land in New Mexico to put it in cultivated condition if he paid $l .25 per acre for it in the first place. The figures are a guide to persons who may be thinking of removing to New Mexico for the purpose of engaging In farming.
 A comparison of the figures show the average annual return per acre with those showing the average size of the farms cultivated by 9S per cent of the
Arizona republican., 1891-05-12

New Mexico farmers who resort to irri- gation, is also interesting. It appears that the average size of such farms is twenty-four acres. From this we see that the average income of one of these farmers is $270.24. This is small amount, and to maintain himself and family upon it man must live in a humble way. But that is just the way in which the New Mexico farmers--the most of whom are Mexicans--do live. Nevertheless, the showing is not so bad when the size of the farm is considered. The amount of capital invested in such a farm, exclusive of buildings. fences, farm implements and stock, is $444.96.
 With larger farm and better methods of agriculture than those which prevail in New Mexico an industrious farmer could undoubtedly make a very good living. But there is no doubt that in New Mexico the best results are to be obtained from vineyards and orchards. Experience has shown that the climate and soil of New Mexico are both adapted to the cultivation of fruits and grapes. An excellent quality of wine is made in the Territory, and from viticulture enormous returns can be obtained. The day will probably come in which very great part of the available area of the Rio Grande valley from Espanola to Fl Paso will be occupied by vineyards or orchards.
 The figures of the census bulletin give one an idea of the population which could be maintained in fertile country under system of irrigation. This popu- lation could safely be placed at 250 to the square mile, allowing the city, town and village population to be the same as that residing on farms. As matter of fact, however, the farming population is, relatively, not near so great as this in the ard region, where many men are engaged in mining. We presume that there are at least 10000 square miles of irrigable land in New Mexico. On this basis the Territory could support popu- lation of 2,500, 900, one-half being en- gagged in agriculture. As this is sup posing relatively too small number of persons engaged in other pursuits than agriculture, it would be better to place the possible population of the Territory at nearly 100000.

TRUCK FARMING.

The United States census office has recently issued some highly interesting statistics of truck farming in the United States, as distinguished from market gardening, which is conducted so near to the local market that the farmer de- pends on his own team for transporta- tion. The average truck farm IS situ- ated great distance from the market in which it's produce is disposed of. It is new feature introduced within the last few years, except the little which used to be possible by canal. It is the mod ern railroad that has rendered possible the truck farm, and this partly accounts for the fact of it's neglect in previous census compilations. Not that there was no truck farming in 1880, but the volume of 1t was vastly less than now.
 It is estimated that upward of $100,- 100000 is invested in the industry in the United States, sthe annual produc- tion being three-quarters of this amount, or $76,500,000, realized from 534, ,44o acres of land. In the work are engaged 2l6,765 men, 9264 women and 14,S74 children, who are aided by 75,S6S horses and mules, and use nearly $9,000,000 worth of agricultural implements. The industry is carried on in nearly all the States, but the principal districts are a narrow belt on the South Atlantic coast and along the Mississippi valley. The more fertile soils are chosen, labor and the railroad do the rest. The big cities are the best customers of the truck farmer, the wants of the people in the smaller centers of population being to a large extent supplied from the imme- diate neighborhood, and they take less per capita of that grown in other eli mates than their, own.
 The merchants of Chicago draw hither the fruits of Georgia, Florida, the West India Islands and Central America, the peaches and berries of Illinois and Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, apples, grapes and pears from Califor- nia, and cranberries from the marshes of Wisconsin. And the range of their distributive work is almost equally wide.
 Few people have correct idea of the effect this business has on transporta- ton. In the season for most of the fruits special trains run each day from the producing districts to this city, the peaches and strawberries load down the boats which ply regularly between Chi cago and the ports on the opposite shore of Lake Michigan, and hundreds of per sons are employed here in the work of receiving, besides the thousands who find employment in handling the mate- rial at other points while it is being col lected and distributed after having been raised by an army of workers. And, as previously stated, all this is of modern origin. The vast increase to human comfort permitted by the enjoyment of the products of other areas than those which surround the consumer, and the concomitant benefit to the many who in this direction minister to the supply of what may be called necessary luxuries to their fellow creatures, is the out growth of the present generation, which, by making railroad transportation far reaching, speedy and cheap, has permit ted the interchange of commodities on a scale that would never have been dreamed of by the people of fifty years aun

That was truly a representative body of Americans, not politicians, not doctrinaires, not anglo maniacs they. It was meeting of men of brains and enterprise and there the new tariff and its good results was dis cussed. Any who attended that banquet came away thoroughly convinced as to the good qualities of the tariff, no mat ter how he thought when he went there.
