ON STONE FRUITS.

Intelligence and common sense are
quite indispensable in the management
of fruit orchard in New Mexico as else
where. While it is true that the condl-
tions here as regards climate, soil, etc.,
are so near perfect as to make almost any
sort of tree produce good fruit where
water and minimum amount of atten.
ton is bestowed upon it, yet to produce
positive best results it is well for the
orchardist to 90 to the heart Of the sub
ject and gather a correct understanding
not only OF the composition of his soil.
but particularly of the matter OF applying
water to the trees.
In raising stone fruits there is greater
danger OF over-irrigation than is generally
supposed. A California authority says
that stone fruits should never be irrigated
when the sap has commenced to move
and circuates through the body of the
tree. At this delicate period the applica-
ton of cold water will kill the roots and
stop circulation of the sap, or check it at
least till the sun has a chance to again
warm up the earth. Irrigation at such a
time will force the wood buds to the
detriment OF the fruit buds, causing the
blossom and fruit to drop and shorl
crop will follow. The best time for irri
"a 4. -.
hardens in the fruit and again as LITTLE
water as possible should be applied while
the fruit is ripening this will add greatl'
to it's flavor. Alter the fruit is gathered
then force the tree by frequent Irrigation
New Mexico fruit growers should tax
careful note Of such matters, for undoubt
eddy this is destined to become a grea
horticultural region.

Lax 1HssE CORPORATIONS.

The state OF Pennsylvania taxes the
property of the Pullman Palace Car com
pany on the pro rata of the mileage run
bv the colnpany's cars within the borders
of that state; the law in question has
been sustained by the supreme court OF
the United States.
New Mexico will do we'll 10 pattern
after Pennsylvania and pass law SINH
lar to the one in force in the Keystone
state.
There exists certainly no good reason
why the Pullman Palace Car company
and the several express companies, doing
business in this territory, making money
out of it and enjoying its protection
should not contribute toward the support
of the territorial government.
The only reason 80 far that exists and
can be adduced against the passage OF an
act taxing these companies upon iali
and just basis is, that these corporations
have distributed, where they will do the
most good, many passes and secret franks
over their lines.
But then that ought not to weigh with
the legislature as against the interests o
the people. There will be a handsome
racket over these matters in the coming
legislative assembly and things will b.
shown up as they are; cold facts will ap
pear id cold type and then let the people
as whole, judge and act.

THEIR NEFARIouS DESIGNS,

The Democratic-W White Cap leaders are
to make desperate and strong effort to
capture a majority in both houses OF the
coming legislative assembly; then two
thirds majority is to be manufactured and
reign of corruption and bribery is to be
naugurated that will pay them for years
to come; laws are to be made and paid
for by the highest bidder, and everything
that pays is to be carried out; that 49,
provided, they are successful in their ne
farious schemes.
But, then, the people may vote differ
emily on election day, and the White
Cap Democratic corruption combination
may be ''busted" by majority OF the
honest voters of this territory. QUEEN

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

Capt. Kolb, Peoples party candidate
for governor of Alabama, asserts that tile
20 900 majority for his opponent on the
regular Democratic ticket at the recent
election in the sovereign state OF Alabama,
is fraudulent one. Capt. Knob ought
to. know whereof be speaks; having been
a strong Democrat for twenty-five years
and having been several times elected TO
Office on the Democratic ticket he is per-
fectly well acquainted with the counting
in methods of the solid south Democracy.
1t looks as be we're right, but there is
no help for it he is counted out and the
other fellow is counted in. and that's
what is called free vote and fair count in
Alabama. Southern elections are always
free and fair to the Democratic candi'
dates, but very hard on the other ticket

facturer of wcrsted yarn, will be confirmed
by his statement based on his knowledge
OF the facts:
A New York state merino fleece must
be above the average to shrink no more
than So per cent. therefore II cent
fleece, wasting 55 per cent. IN cleansing,
costs 2612 cents, secured, with the tags,
locks and belly pieces included. The loss
on the pieces, in order to make the secured
New York fleece the equivalent in value
of the Australian skirted fleece involves 7
cents per pound, which makes New
York fleece, ekirted the same as the
Australian, 3315 cents, as against SO cents
for the Australian.
Thus it is apparent that for New York
state fine fleece to be as cheap in London
as Australian wool of the same quality it
must sell at IL cents in London, and if IL
cents is the London price with free trade
it would be the American price, and as
the cost of collecting wool on the farm
and selling it in the market is cents,
the maximum price on the farm would
be 10 cents without any profit to the mid
die man, and the average margin between
the farm in New York state aud the
dealers warehouse in Boston. where the
wool is sold, is cents. so that with free
wool worth II cents in London, the same
wool would be more apt to average only
cents instead OF 10 cents on the farm in
New York. Yours truly,

THE MoMTEzUMA HOTEL
knights of Pythias, Attention!
Formerly Phoenix HoteD

The biennial session OF the supreme
lodge and encampment OF the Uniform
Rank, Knights of Phythias, to be held at
Kansas City, August 20 to 27, inclusive,
promises to be one of the best attended,
and most successful, gatherings, in the
history OF the order.
The accessibility of the point of meet
ing will be an inducement to draw vast
number of Knights and visitors, and the
Missouri Pacific railway, with its vast net
work of lines entering Kansas City from
every direction, offers greater facilities
than any other line, and will be in better
position to take care of divisions and
regiments, and the large delegations that
are expected. Its trains will be found OF
the handsomest; equipped with Pullman
buffet sleeping cars, Pullman parlor cars,
reclining chairs cars, (seats free) and
elegant day coaches.
The Missouri Pacific railway is prepared
to land divisions and regiments within
four blocks OF the encapment, (the nearest
railroad point in the grounds).
The general committee has made com
pete arrangements for camping outfits ;
tents with flooring, will be provided, and
wagons will be on hand to transport bag
gage to and from the grounds. The game
will be provided with water, and lighted
with electricity; wire-woven cots, pillows,
and blankets, can be rented at O very low
| rate.
Remember The Missouri Pacific rail-
way is the only line that lands its pas
senger within four blocks OF the encamp-
ment grounds. The Missouri Pacific rail

from providing all reasonable laws for the
protection OF game and fish are very great.

not less than 100000. This goes into
the country, to the pockets mostly OF the
