The general condition Of corn is 1913
against 1915 for last month. The absence OF
frost has been favorable to the ripening OF
the late and immature areas. The
temperature Of the last week in
September was especially beneficial.
1888, 1887 and 1s90-which reported worse
condition in October, and made yield Of
twenty to twenty-two bushels per acre.
The range Of yields Of ten years has been
from twenty to twenty-seven bushels. The
present condition indicates yield below the
average.
The average yield of oats is A.3 bushels.
The last report Of condition was the lowest
in ten years. that OF 1890 excepted, the aver
age being 64.4 against 7o.9 this year.

the coming Of the pageant by exploding red
fire fifteen minutes before the head of the
procession was due.
On this night there was also modest ex-
hibition of fireworks in the City Hall Park,
Madison and Union Squares and Reservoir
Square. The balance of the fund left over
from the two exhibitions on the Brooklyn
Bridge on previous nights being expended
in this way.
The aim Of the committee was to make
the night pageant a gem Of color and glare,
and this was accomplished to the satisfaction
of all beholders.
The banquet held in the Lenox Lyceum
on the night of the sixth day brought the
celebration to close. Over four hundred
men of National prominence in Statecraft,
the Bar, the Church, the Exchange and
every walk in life were present as the guests
of the Committee Of Arrangements, and
there were many speeches by many noted
man.

MoLAssEs FOR THE STOCK.

The low cost of molasses should bring
this valuable feeding substance to the
notice of farmers who are feeding cattle,
either for fat in the flesh or in the milk.
The price of it at the present time is two
cents per gallon of twelve pounds. IN
New Orleans. This is equal to 1888
per ton of 1000 pounds. As it contains
only III per cent. of water, and as
much as eight per cent. of albuminoids,
and GAL of carbonaceous matter, it has
a feeding value of S1S.4O ton.
1t has long been used by the English
stock feeders for tattening cattle aud has
been found very economical. not only for
its own nutriment but for its useful effects
on the digestion of other food, and the
stimulating result on the appetite of the
animals. It is mixed with the water by
which cut feed is moistened and 1t may
be easily mixed with ensilage. Cows in
the dairy may be fed with economy a
daily ration of it, and as it all goes to
support the vital heat, of course it re-
leases the fats of the food from this SER
vice and thus tends to an increase of the
butter in the milk. 1t is now being
burned in the furnaces of the sugar
houses, and this waste of valuable food
is to be seriously objected to. Although
it is liquid, 1t contains only three per
cent. more water than clover hay and
two.thirds as much of albuminoids and
nearly twice as much carbonaceous di-
osstible matter as the best kind of this
hay.-New York Times.

BULBS.

In making a selection Of house plants
for winter growing the different kinds of
bulbous plants should not be overlooked.
Probably the most beautiful and fragrant
of the Holland bulbs which are noted for
their ease of culture, are the hyacinths.
These can be grown either in earth or
water. When they are grown in earth a
single bulb should be set in five or six
inch pot. Use common garden soil
mixed with sand, in proportion one
third. Press the earth down around the
bulbs until the upper part can just be
seen. Water we'll and set aside in a Gel
lar or unused room or attic. Allow
them to remain in this way for few
weeks until they arc we'll rooted. If
planted by the first of September these
bulbs should be we'll started by the mid
die of November, and should bloom in
about three MONTH.
1t is much easier to bloom hyacinths
in water, using the familiar bulb glasses
made for that purpose. Let the bottom
of the bulb Just touch the water, and
change the water when it becomes dis
colored. The bulbs should be set away
in the cellar, as is recommended when
grown in earth.
:. Hyacinths require an even temperature
o. from sixty five to seventy degrees, and
after being in seclusion until rooted,
need plenty of water, light and air.
Other bulbs that may be gown likc
the hyacinth in either earth q water are
the crocu., polyanthus, ua-cissus and
narcissus trumpet major. Tulips do we'll
in pots, but cannot be grown in water.

A GOOD SHEPHERD.

What is meant by good shepherd
The man that succeeds is good shep-
herd. he has learned to be an expert.
He has become familiar with all the de-
tails of sheep raising. He always has
time to attend to their wants; is never
too tired, never forgetful, Dever fails to
anticipate their wants or caprices. He
loves his flock above himself. A good
shepherd is known by his flock; they
are not afraid of him. A good shepherd
is born, not made.-American Farmer.

FASHION AND The CHILDREN.

How to manage the girls, is a subject
that NAV well engross the attention OF the
educators Of the country. The subject is
becoming serious one, now that it Is no
longer in the line Of fashionable etiquette
to speak of female children as girls. Take
almost any Of the modern journals OF
fashion, for example; there we find that
such and such thing is fashionable
dress, or hat, or cape, or whatever it may
be "for a Young lady to l0years OF aye"
Thus fashion has decreed that there shall
be no more young girls; it has crushed
them out, as it were, and only "young
ladies'" if you please, are henceforth to
be dealt with. What rank rot ell this is,
to be sure, and the telegraph is not slow
In bringing the sequel, its natural Sc
ouence, detailing that Katie Coggshall, Of
San Antonio, Texas, aged II years, has
suicided because of disappointed love-
We note these things here in hopes
that parents will be aroused to look vel
to the training OF their girls. The tend
ency of the times is certainly bad. Looh
well to the little ones and insist on chill
dren being children.

The present statute for the purpose OF
taxing the receipts of express companies
is very defective; there seems to be a
great, big, large hole in il and of course the
corporations takes advantage OF it; the loop
hole can be very promptly and quickly
stopped by changing the law so as tax
gross receipts Of all express companies +;
if that ls done, those gigantic and pluto
cratic corporations will BE- compelled to
pay something IN the shape of taxes for the
protection and the privileges they enjoy,
Just the same az ordinary citizens, who
labor hard for their money, are compelled
to. The recent report Of the Well-Fargo
express company for the year ending
March 81, 1892, is a dandy and indeed q
very funny document; the company
charges itself with the net local receipts
on all business done and originating with
in the territory, but credits itself with
nearly the full amount it pays the severa
railroad companies for all business tran
sported through New Mexico, namel,
purely local, partly interstate and entire
ly interstate.
1t gives its net receipts at about 500 ,0O(
whereas ifs total receipts are nearl.
$3OO,000) 1t claims to pay the railroad
companies as its share for New Mexico
mileage about $72 1000. Hence, Of course
it needs to pay no taxes and can 90 en-
joying very valuable franchises and th
protection of the commonwealth TO
nothing. The people are not in it, when
ever there is the least defect in law
which enables companies like the Wells
Fargo to beat the law, to defy justice AM

INCORRECT AND UNJUST

The Lincoln Independent made the
following announcement:
The next number of this paper will ap-
pear under the name OF the Lincoln Re-
publican, J. j.. Dolan, editor. Mr.. Dolan
has long been known in Lincoln county
as a staunch Republican, and this change
will doubtless be gratifying to his party
and friends AS he will speak for him
self next week, comment is unnecessary.
1t is not forgotten, however, that Mr..
Dolan was staunCh Democrat, was made
postmaster by Cleveland, as such, and
ran for the last legislature as such.-Las

AS usual, the Optic is incorrect and I'M

master at Lincoln under the Cleveland
administration he left the Democratic
party of New Mexico on account OF the
fearful and shameless corruption and dis
honesty, that characterized the Demo
cratic executive and judicial adminstra
ton in New Mexico under the Democrat
ic regime.
He was candidate upon the Repubi
can aud Independent ticket for the coun
ell from the counties Of Lincold and Donf
Ana, and Sierra and Grant, and was elect
ed in November, 1888, to the council; hi
acted with the Republicans during th'
2Sth legislative assembly; he was ap
pointed receiver OF public moneys at thu
U. S. land office in Las Cruces by Presi
dent Harrison in 1889, and after year
faithful and honorable service resigned o
his own voltion in order to give persona
attention to his large business interest
in Lincoln county. Further comment i
