THE FORAGE WONDER.

The American Agriculturist for this
| month contains an article detailing in
| foil the success which Prof. Paul Veg
ner, of the agricultural experiment
station a. Darm5tadt, Germany, has
met with in producing a valuable forage
plant from the Wild pea of Hungary
The New Mexican was the first western
newspaper to lay the result of Prof.
Wagner's experiments in this direction
before its readers, and it is gratifed TO
note the attention the subject is receiv-
ing from American agrlcuiturists gen.
orally.
As has been sta ed this wild pea grows
pr llitic in nearly e.ery part OF New
Msxico, and n doubt the seed pods of
this. if gathered when ripe, could be
utilized for producing here the same
wonderful article of forage that is en-
listing so much attention now in Ger
oany.
Among the extraordinary features
which Prof. Wagner has fourd this
plant Ulthyrus Silvestris) TO posss sss
may be noted, in addition to what has
already been said of it in these columns,
the fact that 1t appears earlier IN the
spring and remains green later in the
fall than alfalfa; possesses much
greater nutritive value than alfalfa.
thrives on the poorest of soil without
water; plants year old send their roots
down SIX feet and older plants have been
seen with thirty fees of root. The |
Plant also reproduces itsef at a remark
able rate, sending up fresh shoots from
the crown of the roots, and on plant |
three years old, the stalks being six feet |
IN length, have been counted eighty
seven stalks springing from the crown
root. These features are certainly
sufficient 10 attract a great deal of t,
55ntion to this new forage wonder from
he farmers of the arid west.-New

ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
A San Francisco Opinion ON the Re
moyal From Los Angeles.

The San Francisco Call of Monday
says: The action of the president in
abolishing the military department of
Arizona has excited considerable inter
est in army circles. An army officer in
a position to underst and the situation,
yet who asked that his name be with
held from publication, commenting on
the new order yesterday, said: "We
have been looking for this change ever
since Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated. 1t
has long been contemplated. President
Harrison more than two years ago was
about TO issue similar order, but the
politicians in Los Angeles getting wind
of it sent Ex-Governor Lionel A. Shell
don to Washington to protest against
the removal of the headquarters from
that city, and Sheldon returned with a
promise from Mr.. Harrison that the ex-
listing order Of things should remain as
they were.

town or city to have the headquarters
of military department established
within its limits. A vast quantity of

MR. HECRELMANN'S EESOLU.
TIONS

There was at least one man at tn,
silver convention who had studied tn,
currency and financial questions to som,
purpose. The resolutions introduced
by Mr.. O. F. Heckelmann of this town
were so far above the usual run of con
ventien resolutions as TO be notable in
the record OF such things. They were
devoid of redundant phrases and ebul
lent rethoric, but they contained some
solid facts that the mass of the people
are not in the habit of rem am beriug
II is common charge in the east
that the depression in the money mar
ket is in some way the result of the agi-
tstion of the silver question by the
western mine owners. On the other
hand the charge is general in the west
that the present disturbing and dearth
producing cond :tions are the result of
a preconc7rted movement on the part
OF Wall street gamblers and bankers to
force silver down and out for specula-
tive purposes.
Mr.. HecKelmann presents facts and
figures that disprove both charges. The
fact is that We have been buying more
than we sold. To pay this balance we
have had TO export gold.-El Paso Times.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-07-15

supplies are bought at headquarters for
the use of the troops serving In the de-
partment. Forage, fuel, flour, pork, ba-
con, beans and many other articles are
purchased annually, and the local con-
tractors, bankers and commission mer-
chants are very much benefited by hav-
ing so good cash customer as Uncle
Sam at their own doors.
ut will be great loss to Los Angeles
in social as well as business way to
lose General A. Med. McCook and his
| large staff. Many of the officers rent
| fine residences in that city and contrib
ute greatly to the gayety of social life in
the southern metropolis. The removal
of army headquarters is calamity not
less to be deplored than would be the
Suspension of two or three of the biggest
commercial hOu es in the city.
1T will not make much difference to
San Francisco, which is certain to be
always the headquarters Of not OILY
department but also division. The re-
cent change was made with a view of
correcting the absurdity OF having two
army departments within the bounda-
ries Of one state. The department of
California, under the new arrangement,
consists of the whole state with Nevada
thrown in.
"rhe new department Of Colorado
makes more systematic division of the
military districts geographically. / do
not apprehend that General McCook
will ike the idea OF being transferred to
Denver, for he and ali his officers are
very pleasantly located in Les Angeles
Ihe general and hls wife live aJ the
RedOndo Beach hotel, which commands
view of the Pacific ocean. They are
great favorites in society. Mrs. McCook
is fine vocalist, and her husband is the
best amateur lawn-tennis player in that
section. One OF his aides-de-camp,
Lieutenant Charles Collins, is the most
accom- plished swimmer in Santa Monica
bay. Then there is Major ElderkIn, his
commissary. He is the greatest humor-
lst IN the army, and writes all the funny
poems for the Los Angeles church fairs
and social 5anquets. He is one of the
literary lights in the southern citrus
belt. He thinks nothing of dressing
himself up as Mrs. farley and giving
wax works exhibition for the benefit Of
a Presbyterian organ fund, or creating
the role of Mr. Micawber at amateur
theatricals. | don't know which Los
Angeles will most feel, the business or
the social loss. McCook and his staff
are all Jolly good fellows, and they make
the people feel happy wherever they are
stationed. Denver Will be glad to have
them"

WHEN rumors OF war in the bosom OF

such matters of grave interest. The

it seems, is inclined for once
to forgo his highly moral de-
termination to appoint only
highly moral men to positions of respon-
sibilty and trust In his highly

Marshal Meade, Territorial Secretary
Bruce and Territorial Auditor Boon ve-

When some gentlemen were recently
