The Folsom Springs Metropolitan
has the following hopeful views FOL
the territory:
1t is conceded from everywhere,
from every state, that 1892 is going
to be the greatest year for growth
and development ever known in the
history of New Mexico. There is
going to be perfect flood of people
and money from all over the east.
Everybody has made money in New
Mexico. They are telling their east
ern friends of their success. We are
gradually getting great name down
in the plethoric money centers of the
east. We have an entirely different
condition of things than they. Our
mountains are full of minerals and
ore that in the mining production
build up and support great cities and
markets. Our valleys are rich and
crops sure. We have no failures in
that respect and no backsets. These
facts are fast becoming known to
the alert business and specializing
world. These are few of the real
reasons of the coming years growth
and greatness.

WILL MOVE THE OBSERVATORY.

destroy the western view from the

of the church so near the street, but

ON WITH THE ALLIANCE.
The western Watchman," of Eureka,
Gives Timely Advice.

Now that the excitement of the cleo
ton is over, every Allienceman, every
refOrmer should return with redoubled
interest and earnestness to his Alliance
meetings. The Alliance is the true
foundation of reform thought that has
spread SO far and wide. The lOdgeroom
should hold a new charm for every
member, an added interest for every
toller who has not yet aligned himself
with this great educational Order.
Form new committees, introduce
new and instructive features, and
enter resolutely upon a new campaign
of education
We had it personally from our new
State President, ]. L Gilbert, while in
Sacramento, that it is his intention to
formulate some plan by which to push
lecturing and organization into every
county, and to thus bring every county
into thorough organization in the +. A
and U.
This is well, but where there is al
ready good working county organi-
zation, such counties should them,
selves take the initiative and com
mence the work through the county
organizer.
Friends, brothers and sisters, the
DaJCI0 lot d IdIF0f az JuSCu6nG cL COu-
ditiOns has only begun. You have seen
some evidence of the effect Of educa-
tion and organization, yet those effects
mark only the beginning Of the revolu-
ton that IS to save the Republic-save
the homes of the yeomanry of America
Turn now with anxious care to the
building to broader, higher, grander
proportions Of the Alliance. It is the
plowman's school, the young mems
lyceum, the woman's symposium,
where fraternity should be welded in
closer bonds of affection, where honor,
manhood and womanhood are some
thing more than a gilded name, where
blighting, ,wastefuI enmities should
fade and disappear before the glow of
a common intereet-the warmth Of a
common brotherhood
Before the next quarterly Alliance
meets we should number twenty in
stead of ten Sub-Alliances The next
quarterly meeting will be an impor
tant one, for there will be much of
interest to report from the State Ali
ance; new systems have been adopted,
and it will be required of Humboldt
Alliances to do some earnest work in
their own behalf.

CLOVER GROWING.

of it's money value in the form of ma y
nure, and this is equivalent TO the con-
slant and abundant fertilizing of the soil
and the ensuring of perennial fertility
If he turns it under it decays with so
much rapidity that the next crop is
able to consume it and make a salts
factory growth. If he makes the first
growth into hay, the aftermath will
supply an abundant manure for the
wheat or corn following. It is thus an
invaluable plantfor the farmer in what
ever way he may use it.
But it is not always used as its great
value deserves. When it is to be sown,
few give much or due consideration to
the requirements of the invaluable
plant the profit of which depends con-
siderably on the manner in which the
land is prepared for the seeding and
the sowing of the seed.
While no other crop deserves so
much attention, none is so frequently
neglected as this. The seed is mostly
cast upon the ground to grow or die,
as the accidents of the weather may
happen to be favorable or adverse.
How many farmers who have sold
fall grain have given thought in the
preparation of soil to the seed they in
tend to SOW some time in the spring2

result, which will be very beneficial.
We can keep hogs well on English tur
nlps cooked and mashed up with meal,
though little more meal is required
than with more nutritive roots. Glover
hay is sometimes used as an auxiliary
in wintering hogs. IF fine and well
cured and especially if cut and boiled
or steamed, and mixed with meal, it
will do very we'll But roots are so
cheaply grown, when one has learned
how, that cheaper method of feeding
can hardly be desired. I would advise
those who intend to get steamers to
get one capable of standingten pounds
pressure per inch, for they will surely
need it in cooking stiff pudding and
large quantities of corn, also get one
larger than the amount of work to be
done; then in case there is more stock
to feed, they will not be perplexed and
troubled with a small steamer. Every
thing fed to our hogs is cooked, but
nothing is ground. We feed altogether
on corn and potatoes. To one bushel
and half of potatoes, mashed up, we
add three pecks of dry corn in the ker-
mel, and then with liberal supply of
water in kettle almost steam tight,
we cook for at least three hours The
kernels are then three or four times
their original size and the potatoes are
mashed, and when thoroughly mixed
the dish is as acceptable as can be pre-
sented to lot of hogs. And as every
particle of the food is, or can be re-
duced to paste by the slightest masti-
cation, much more by the action of the
stomach, there can be but little if any
loss An addition of few quarters Of
rye and an occasional peck of oats,
making a little variety, is always a
judicious plan, either Of which is as
easily cooked as heavier and larger
kernels of corn. Hogs should also have
a good supply of water, as it is impos-
sible for them to digest their food with
out water to dissolve it and convey it
into the blood They should be kept
constantly supplied with salt, coal and
ashes. salt is valuable stimulator
of the appetite and digestive organs.
The advantages are that you save the
time of taking your grain to the mill
and the toll, and have your grain al
ways at hand in a proper condition to
use; there Is a steadiness about the food
that is ore of the main elements of
success in feeding animals

WIN NTERING HOGS.

In feeding and the care of swine the
proper food elements are of the first
Importance and the next in order are
the sanitary condition and the manner
and form in which the foods are sup
piled, as to regularity, etc. A writer
in the Ohio Farmer says: The meat
supply of the country is one of the
most important subjects that can be
presented for consideration. Physi
clans are almost unanimous in the
opinion that beef and mutton are much
more wholesome articles of food than
pork or bacon; yet for the present, and
we fear for along time to come we must
rely for our supply of meat mainly
upon the hog. This must be the case
until we have entirely changed or at
least modified our system of farming,
by paying more attention to the cult
walton of root crops and feeding Of
mutton, as the English farmers do. In
England, mutton is considered the best
meat they have; here a strong preju
dice exists against it, which is entirely
owing to our manner of fattening
sheep.
There is no domestic animal that suf-
fers so much from exposure to cold and
wet as the hog. He is a native of a
mild climate and should be treated as
his nature demands, if we would turn
his peculiarities to our advantage. And
during winter he should be provided
with warm, dry quarters, plenty of
warm, clean bedding, and an abun-
dant supply of nutritious fat and heat
producing food. After the ground has
become frozen and the pig can no lon
ger root for living, cooked roots and
meal we consider the best and most
economical food. Some put their
shoats on raw potatoes, turnips or
beets. Hogs can be kept in this way
and will even do pretty well, but we
consider it more economical to cook
the food, believing that better growth
can be obtained with a smaller amount
of feed ;and where such fixtures are
employed as may be easily furnished,
the cooking will be cheaply accom-
plished. 90
We have a steamer that cost about
800 set in a rough building, TIVE I've

hog house. It is stuffed in all around

Save it From Potter's Field
About $50 o'clock last evening, a
man not over 25 years old staggered
into the City Dispensary and dropped
a large sized cigar box upon the desk
of DIR. Fowler, who was in charge.
Among sobs he stated that the box was
a coffin, and that it contained the body
of his only child. He wanted the city
to bury it, claiming that he was too
poor. The child had died of minor
complaint, and the certificate pr duced
by the man revealed that his name was
William Simpson, and that his wife
was Ella Simpson. They live at 7O1
North Eleventh street
Simpson was to take the body to the
Morgue, as nothing could be done for
him last evening. He sorrowfully de
parted, carrying the body of his child
with him.
