such distribution is the library owner
ship OF Fairgrounds. Almost the only
extension of the library has been in the
direction OF branches" universally
cumbersome and expensive, repeating
and emphasizing the faults of the GEN.
trail institution. The delivery system
from one main stock has been adopted
in limited way, but its admirable
qualifications are being more generally
recognized. However, its greatest influ-
ence for good must be in its adoption in
connection with country libraries; and
when this means of distributing, to the
most remote farm, the advantages OF
learning, culture, and amusement that
cluster about well-equipped public
library, then will the ambition of the
farm-bred boy and girl to live in the city
be modified. With reasonable postal
regulations, country libraries will as
easily extend their usefulness az the
city institutions. A better understand
ing and broader spirit would have taken
place in the library system, If even q
small portion of the lavish expenditures
of the government bureau of educa-
tion had been directed to this important
division of education.
The public library movement has not
been officially recognized or encouraged,
save in one or two instances due to per-
sonal interest and exertion by the head
OF the department. The congressional
library las never. in any way, fulfilled
its mission as national library to the
country at large; and in the one library
where the photographed and cstafogu-
ing features might have been carried to
their highest and fullest conception. for
the assistance and guidance of every
library, it has been thought matter of
pride that indexes and aide to books
were unnecessary, "since one man knew
the entire contents of the library"
To such policy is due the great waste
OF money and energy in library admin
istration. in the expensive duplication
of work and material.
The purchase by the Boston public
library of the Columbus letter, for the
sum Of $4,000, shows the extreme Of a
municipal library in incuring expense
only warranted by a national institution.
There is need of readjustment in
estimating the capabilities of collec-
ton of books, placed in the hands of the
people, and serving as a nucleus for adj
ditions in any direction that tends to in
crease intelligence and happiness.

cowBox DUDES.
New Mexico style as shown at q Round

New Mexico style ms shown at Round
Up.
The Lordsburg, N. M, Liberal says:
The spring roundup was at Horse Shoe
cation the first OF the week and worked
from there over to the river. This
roundup shows there have been many
changes in New Mexico, and that the
cowboy Of few years ago has disap-
peared. As southern Grant county ia
the most enlightened and progressive
part OF the two territories it is to be
expected that there will be found the
fullest development of the esthetlcs OF
COW punching.
The day work and dress of the cowboy
is much the same as formerly; 1t is in
the cook and his department that the
most progress has been made. This
roundup has the good luck to have f.
s. Douglass acting as chef. Instead of
letting the cowboys crowd around the
tailboard of the grub wagon and help
themselves, as has been the custom, the
tailboard 10 spread. with snowy white
cloth, nspkins are produced and the
board is adorned with dainty china and
solid silver.
This was shock TO the unprogressive
cow-punchers Of Arizona, but they nearly
all fell off the treeiwhen they saw Chief
Douglass prepare for his nights rest.
He took a spring cot from the top Of q
mess wagon, pulled hair mattress
from under the seat, unrolled his bed
ding. spread pair Of fine sheets adorned
with monogram, then heavy pair Of
blankets and over it all a white Marseilles
bedspresd; then he disrobed, put on q
ruffled night shirt, climbed into bed and
by the light Of his lantern read chap
ter from the gospel of st. Luke and then
dropped into peaceful slnmber. The
cowboy from Dona Ana county looks on
In establishment and wants to take y
shot at the assemble, but the ruftles on
the night shirt scare even this out of
bis head.

methods Of precaution and punishment ;
and more money and energy are ex-
pended in one year from guarding books
from possible loss in q library than
would pay for the real loss in many
years, with the exercise OF no more care
than any merchant uses in the transac-
ton OF his business. When the public
have had reason to feel the ownership in
a public library that is said to be theirs,
the danger ia still further reduced.
The outcome Of this policy has
being the undue prominence given to
catalogues; the whole library edifice
has come to be regarded as resting Cn
this foundation, when, as a matter OF
fact, a catalogue at its best lie 1nrelia-
BILE, misleading, uninterestiDg and mi
nor influences considered as an
agent in the enlargement of the
scope OF practical usefulness. Cat
alogues have been forced into
the place Of intelligent human guides,
who would in come measure have miti-
gated the mooted loss incurred in the
handling OF books; and they have
brought about mechanical system in
many large libraries that results in
complete ntagnation.
The mission of the library is more i'm
portant than the mere circulation oil
books; it should be the direct power to
cultivate and foster the intellectual and
material advance of its community. In
terest in national and local questions,
artistic, political, industrial, should
promptly be taken advantage of, and
books and newspaper clippings, illustra-
tions, laid before the public, who by this
means are furnished with collated, un-
biased data, and saved expensive indi-
vidual experiments.
A city adopting street-improvement
system should have for guidance the
result of experimental made, not years
ago. but the week before, and should
expect to look to the library to collect
and arrange such materials Tor reference.
By posting lists of plays, scores. compar-
tive criticism, illustrations, biographies,
and historical information in the sntici-
nation of a coming dramatic or musical
event, the library creates an opportunity
for the development OF appreciation and
culture OF a high order in the use of
books.
Parents, teachers and librarians are
continually holding endless discussions
as to how to curtail the reading of esti-
mated trashy and fabby literature; but
the question of what is to take the place
as a recreation is left to solve itself.
What is to be done with the boy in a
crowded city when books are taken from
him on the ground of being only amus-
mgr Let the library meet the demand
for the hundreds and thousands of vol
umes OF this style of literature, with q
proportionate number of sets of sets of
tennis, oroquet, footballs, baseballs, in
door games, magic lanterns and the
whole paraphernalia Of healthy, whole
some amusement that is quite as r1uch
out of reach of the average boy and girl
as are books, and there will be mater
ial addition to the library member

places use fewer applications OF the
water.
In all cases constant and thorough
cultiyation to the depth OF four or five
inches should follow each irrigation as
soon as the ground is in condition to
work we'll. The mulch thus formed of
top soil retains the moisture in almost
ali ground until the roots exhaust it.
1t also aerates the ground, which is of
great Importance. Eastern people have
much yet to learn from the Californians
on this point. Where the cultivator rests
the least in summer there is the best
fruit, the largest yield, and the
least water necessary. In places like
Riverside and Highlands are miller of
orchards without weed or spear OF
grass in summer, and the top soil fine as
meal. The difference can be understood
only by those whe saw the fruit fifteen
years ago and see it today, and who saw
the quantity of water then wasted and
the comparatively small amount now
used to produce the splendid results
once deemed impossible.
