Otero County Horticultural Society,

Pursuant to the call in last weeks
ExIKKPKIsE, number Of fruit growers
met m Rocky Ford Saturday evening to
discuss the need Of the organization md
active conducting Of live Horticultural
society.
The Law of the last general assembiy
relating to horticultural matters was
read 1t creates the state Horticultural
board and provides for the organisation
Of county boards and the appointment Of
q county inspector. A general discussion
the insects which affect them. Ben Reed,
our member Of the state Horticultural
board, made q partial report Of his i'm
pressions during the recent tour Of the
board m the northern portion Of the state
his report to be concluded at the next
meeting.
II was decided to organize under the
old charter given the Otero County Hor-
tcultural association The NEXT meeting
viii be held IN Rocky Ford, Dec. 16, and
all the farmers IN Otero county who ere
interested m fruit culture are urged to
be present and assist IN the organization
The fruit interests in any country are
liable to be affected by injurious insects
and diseases Just nov, while our eoun-
Try Is new, is the time for the prevention
q
nment to the fruit interests Of other sec
tons Of the Union There is much prac-
tical work to be done by a local horticuI-
tural society which will be of immense
value to Otero county. This valley is sure
to be one of the best fruit growing dis
tricte in the west, and the work that a
Horticultural association can do for the
developement and protection of this in
terest is OF more moment than the most
enthusiastic workers for the society now
comprehend The attendance at this
coming meeting should be large and an
enthusiastic interest manifested
The Rocky Mountain News Of recent
date has long article On the fruit inter-
ests of Colorado. 1t emphasizes the fact
that Colorado horticulturaEsts not only
have no competition from the eastern
markets, but have constant cash mar
ket almost at their doors for all they can
produce. The News gives many statis-
tics showing what great profits have act
ually been realized from fruit growing
The portion of the article relating to this
portion OF the valley we quote as follows:
The acreage in Otero county is about
The fruit industry in the Arkansas
valley is destined to be very large one
The altitude where the river crosses
the state line is about 4 600 feet Sol,
climate and altitude with an abundant
water supply, all combine to render IT
most promising fruit growing section-
The late Secretary Shaw studied the val
ley with care, and stoutIy affirmed the
wonderful fruit growing capabilities of
the valley. Apples pears, piums, cher

No Waiting for Bite There.

Mr.. w. X. Reynolds, Jr, in letter to
his father from British Columbia, tells
the following remarkable story:
"Was at Duucan's two nights: spent
an hour at the Cowichan River each
evening catching salmon by the tail and
throwing them up on the bank or back
in the river. | suppose you will think
this owe kawn. but it is fact just the
same The river is literally swarming
with them. and the water can hardly bc
seen for fish. The banks ore covered
with dead fish, and the stencil is hor-
rible. The people are complaining, but
apparently nothing can be done.
caught about forty, one after the other.
and got pretty wet over it. The sport is
more exciting than fishing with rod.
Every little slough in the river is filed
with them, places where the water is
only six inches deep; but they force
themselves along very fast. and are
fearfully strong; the average weight is
about ten pounds, but there are many
heavier aud few lighter. ~ Halifax Aca-
dian Recorder.

A RAT-CATCHING FOX.
He Made His Home In a Mine and
Dined on Rodents.

"The best rat''catcher we ever had in
the mine" raid Lackawanna Valley
mine foreman, "was a fox, and the way
he got down into the mine was little
curious. One fall morning, just as had
started down the shaft on the car, a fox
leaped into the shaft and landed on the
car close 10 me. The poor animal was
all OF tremble, as though he had been
chased all night by hound, and he had
evidently plunged into the shaft in search
OF shelter from his pursuer. The fox
was in pickle when he found whore he
was, but he couldn't get back TO the
surface or of the car, 90 he jumped back
and forth till the car reached the bottom
Of the shaft, when he sprang off and
disappeared in the gangway. ordered
the miners and driver boys not to scare
or hurt the fox, and as the only way for
the fox TO get out of the mine was
through the shaft, Jerry, as named him,
had to stay in the mine.
THE fox gradually became wonted TO
his new home, and the way he began TO
slay the big and hungry mine rats seemed
to surprise the cats and please the mules.
Jerry soon learned that the rats we're in
the habit OF fOcking TO the barn where
the mules were fed, and il wasn't long
before he killed more rats every day than
all Of the eight or nine cats put together.
When the mules were at work Jerry
would crouch and watch for rats
near the dinner cans OF the miners,
and as the men never frightened him, he
got 10 be very tame and confiding, and
was = great favorite among the work
men.
"Whcn Jerry had lived in the mine q
few months he became homesick, and
one morning he jumped on a loaded car
Mt the bottom OF the shaft and was
hoisted TO the surface. | never ex-
pected to see the fox again, but two
mornings afterward Jerry returned to
the breaker, got on car, and came
down into the nine. thought he had
been cured Of his homesickness, and the
men and boys were very glad TO see
Jerry Looping through the gangways and
swapping up rats again. la the spring
and SKINNER the fox rode up the shaft
every few weeks. stayed away n day or
two and then appeared at the head Of
the shaft and waited for car to take
him down. The rats had to hustle
whenever Jerry rotursed from his vaca-
tion.
"Work in the mine was indefinitely
suspended in the fall, the mules and cats
were removed to the surface, but Jerry
was left down there. Six weeks later |
went down the shaft and found Jerry
lying 1G1vA in the mule barn. He had
killed every rat in the mine and "s there
was no other food for him to get, the
poor fellow had starved TO death. -

LIVED WITH BROKEN yECKs.
Wonderful Recoveries from Appsr
emily Fatal Injuries.

A recent Republic special entitled
San Unparalleled Case" gives pahicu-
lars concerning a man who lived nine
DAYS with broken neck, and was even
supposed 70 be on the highway Of recov-
cry. This case, remarkable as il may
seem TO some, has many parallels in
surgical history. II must be admitted
that there was a time in the annals of
surgery when fracture Of the cervical
vertebre was ss fatal as puncture of
the pericadium; but modern science,
which, it 10 unnecessary to remark, over.
rides all obstacles, makes the chances of
living with broken neck at least posi-
BILE, there being one chance in 107 Of a
person who meets with such an injury
recovering. One of the first really sue
cessful operations on a broken neck in
America was by DR.. Bayard, Of st. Johns,
New Brunswick, some time in the '40s,
the patient recovering after portion of
the odontoid process, or second cervical
vertebra-the pivotal bone Of the neck
had been removed.
In 1874 New York milk dealer was
thrown from his wagon and sustained
q compound fracture of the neck. He
was taken to DR.. Watts, of the College
Of Physicians and Surgeons, and in
less than year had so fully recovered
as to be able to attend to his regular
business.
The next case mentioned in the col
lection "Ye Curious Man" has gathered
was that OF French army man who at
tempted TO commit suicide in taking
header" from the roof of tall building.
He broke his neck square off, the say
ing is, but within three months was able
TO walk around, no trace Of his injuries
being left except numbness Of the
fingers.
In 1850 another New Yorker, Thomas
Chalmers, a gymnast, broke his neck in
such way a. TO split the third cervical
vertebra, causing the fourth and second
bones TO touch. DR.. Sayre was called TO
see what was supposed 10 be a dying
man. He applied restoratives, caused
the patients neck in collar of plaster Of
paris and at the end of six months dis
charged him perfectly cured.
Other noted cases of recovery from
fractured cervical vertebra or broken
neck are the following:
William Stafford, New York City,
1862; attending surgeon, DR.. Sayre, of
Bellevue Hospital.
Robert Miller, while bathing off Fire
Island, New York, July ~, 1875; recov-
cred in two years, DR.. Weiss in attend
ance.
John Collery, San Francisco, June,
1882; DIR. Stambaugh, attending sur
gcon.
Barney Baldwin, the broken necked
brakeman, who exhibited in the dime
museums in 1887, 'sS and 80.
A. l.. Hout, London, England, 1888;
recovered after the third veItebra had
been removed
Lizzie Hammonds, Brooklyn Hotel,
