MILITARY STRENGTH.

A writer on the Sun, who also acts
as special correspondent of the New
York Herald, recently received in
structions by wire from that greatest
newspaper in the world TO interview
the adiutant general of New Mexico,
touching the avail bile organized and
unorganized military force of this
territory and to telegraph the Herald
the result. An interview with Adju-
tant General Fletcher developed tho
facts that the organized militia force
of the territory consists of one reg
iment of cavalry, under command of
Col. J. w. Fountain, of Las Cruces,
and one regiment of infantry, under
command of Col. w. G. Marmon, of
Laguna; that those regiments could
be put in the field in week; double
the number in two weeks and proba-
bly, 5000 men in thirty days; and
that the available military force of
the territory unorganized is about
5000 men. The last statement is,
of course, an estimate. But when
we reflect that New Mexico sent
G,561 soldiers into the union army
(more than California sent and about
double the number sent into field by
Colorado and that our population
has since much more than doubled,
we are pursuaded that General
Fletcher's estimate Is not eXag9era-
ted. 1t may be added that there are
several thousand men in New Mex
leo, many Of them old veterans who
would instantly leave breakfast of
quail on toast and hasten to the first
recruiting office in the event of war
between the United States and any
foreign country. New Mexico is not
represented by a star on the Ameri-
can flag, but her people are loyal to
the beautiful banner and stand ready
to prove the fact, should an emer-
gency arise, by sending as many vol
unteer soldiers into the field lin pro-
portion to population) as any state in
the union.-Santa Fee Sun.

Honey MAKING IN socoaRo.

-Four years ago the general talk in
this part of New Mexico was that you
could not raise bees; that honey was
one of the things that could not be
made in this part of New Mexico
The late Mayor A. j. Bahney got a
few stands of bees, then J. M. Hill
got few; they seemed TO prosper
and to do we'll and what was the
strangest thing Of all, they made
houey, and the best honey ever made
in the country; SO that today our
table is supplied with honey, HON C
grown, and of quality far superior
to any raised in California.-Socoro

NEW Mexico FARMING.

The Eddy Argus gives the follow
ing about farming in the Pecos
valley:
TO show what one man can do on
less than forty acres, with no extra
labor, except such as is necessary to
harvest and house his crops, take the
case of Edward Scoggins, whose
place is in the western suburbs of
town.
On ten acres of alfalfa, second
year, 1891, he realized forty tons,
worth $50 per ton; on five acres Of
sorghum thirty tons, worth $3.50
per ton; on four acres of millet six
tons, worth $50 per ton; on ten acres
of oats one and one-quarter tons per
acre, worth SIS per ton; on five acres
of wheat, twenty-eight bushels to the
acre, and same land will make from
thirty-fve to forty this year; on three
and half acres of corn, thirty-three
and one third bushels to the acre;
from one-fourth of an acre of cotton
he gathered 500 pounds of seed, and
when it comes to crops that grow
under ground this land has no equal;
from one-eight of an acre of sweet
potatoes he gathered about sixty
bushels. He raised turnips as big as
an ordinary bucket and all other
vegetables in proportion, and all
without the expense of fertilizing.
lie says a man is certain to make
crop here if he will plant aud work
it, and it appears to the Argus that
a man is paying pretty expensive
board to stay away from country
where his time and labor are worth |
so much and where money can be
made so easily.
In the northwestern suburbs Of
Eddy, George w. Blankenship clear
ID and fenced forty acres of land
.wo years ago. Among the crops he
'aised last year was five tons of sor.
yhum to the acre, fifty bushels of
'ats to the acre, twenty-five bushels
# wheat to the acre, twenty bushels
If corn and about 200 bushels of J

on the same ratio, and for all he
raised he found a ready market and
good prices. This year he will get

in oats ten acres in wheat, ten acres
in corn and one acre each of sweet
potatoes and sugar beets. He has
three acres in orchards and will add
two more this year. His orchard is
small, having only about 100 trees,

The Tomato Scare.


"Who was it, WONDER" says DR.. Andrew
Wilson, that was responsible for the state
ment that tomatoes cause cancer? Any
thing more stupid in the way of an opinion,
or any assertion more utterly devoid Of
foundation, it would be difficult to parallel.
Yet the belief survives, and, what is more
to the point, periodically makes it's appear
ance in the columns of daily journals, in
the form of the inevitable letter to the
editor, beseeching information regarding
the relations of the healthful fruit to the
dread disease This year the canard has
as usual, made its appearance, and once
more medical journalists are called upon
to break the miserable butterfly on the
wheel of scientific scorn. That there is not
a vestige of truth in the assertion that
tomatoes may either cause or predispose
to cancer goes without saying, yet the de-
lusion fingers long and obstinately. What
one feels curious about is the origin of the
delusion. What suggested it first of all?
Whose authority launched it on the world?
Who give it credence is more readily an
swered by observing the serious tone which
pervades the communications to the news
papers. Some one told me that when the
tomato scare made it's appearance a year
or two gone by the sale of this fruit fell off
amazingly. trust this falling off has not
been repeated, and I should consign the
myth, were / able, to regions reserved for
exploded canartls, compared with which,
indeed, the giant gooseberry, the sea SER
pent or even the toad in the rock might be
regarded as highly respectable pieces of In
telligence."
Saw His Own Name Among the Killed.
For many years before he shufaed off
this mortal coil Constable David NJ
Southland, of Ellisburg, N. j., had the
grewsome pleasure of reading his name on
a tombstone, and this fact may have had
something to do with his taking his life.
The primary cause for his rash act, how
ever, was domestic trouble, which induced
melancholia, and when some friends
twitted him about the loss of his luxuri-
ant whiskers, formerly his crowning joy.
the hopeless old man went home and swal-
lowed laudanum. Southland was a brave
soldier during the late war, and in the bat
tie of Gettysburg he was taken prisoner
and sent to Andersonville. During this
time he was reported dead, and failing to
return directly after the war his name
was inscribed on the soldiers monument
that now stands in front of the Camden
city hall.
