Pecos Valley Railroad,

Chief Engineer Murry Harris and
corps, finished the survey of the line OF
the Pecos Valley road to Roswell, Tues
day May 9th, and were met at Roswell
by General Superintendent jeff N Mil
Ter, who came up for the purpose of
selecting depot grounds, etc, for the
road This should forever silence the
croakers who have predicted that the
road would not come to Roswell The
work of cross. .sectioning the line will
begin in few days, and grading will
soon follow. By December 1st, rail
road at Roswell will be reality. AS
Roswell possesses the largest supply of
the best water of any place in the valley,
and as it is 180 miles from the end of the
road, it will be the natural point for a
division, and we have reasonable hopes
that it will be the general headquarters
of the line. After years of waiting we
are at last to be in the swim. -RoSwell

PROFIT AND LOSS.

In q letter A. Devereaux, an extensive butter dairyman of Deposit, N. 1., urges the importance of keeping correct records of the work of cows. It is through this source only that knowledge is obtained as to which animals are giving profit able return, and which are running their owners in debt. His dairy consists of about 70 cows; % are what he calls 'eXtra,' and made an average of 361 pounds of butter during the year; 20 were ''good," making an average of 26O pounds, and g "poor" ones, which pro- duced but 129 pounds each. The latter class, however, contains number of heifers, which will eventually make good COWS. The best COW in the herd made 546 pounds of butter; the poorest 1lS pounds, which, being sold for ? cents per pound. gives gross income for the best nf $l36 90, and from the other S29 90. thi~ being clear loss of over the cost If keep "f Sll 70. The keeping expen- s"S are summed up thus: Two tons of hay, with silaSe. SIS; pasture, So feed. SlI: total, S4l. The cows give milk niue or 10 months in the year. It will be seen by this that the average profits on the ? extra cows amounted to $50 the 20 good cows gave S24 each, while 3 poor cows ran him in debt $S.75 each
 If no record had been kept the whole thing would have been guess-work, and relative values would never have beer known.-[ Hoods Dairyman.

to pigs or steers, and thus secure the manure from the animals. If you secure nothing from the sale of stock other than the cost of the food and labor. the ma nure will of itself be fair profit. Ma nure from animals that have been fed upon grain is more valuable than when the food is less concentrated, and the profit from manure is often greater than that from the products of the animal.
 The best half bushel of potatoes, tur- nips or beets exhibited at a county fair does not indicate the best crop. Any farmer who grows an ordinary crop of potatoes can. by careful selection, find half bushel of tubers worthy place at the fair. Exhibits are Tot educational unless some mode (such as the use of cir culars) is adopted to enlighten those in- terested regarding the manner in which choice specimens are produced.
 Nitrate of soda is the best single sub stanace used as fertilizer for early spring application to crops, especially to wheat and early vegetables. This is due not only to the fact of its being easily dissolved but also to the proportionate nitrog n it contains, which the plants de- rive from it in an available farm. It is apparently costly, compared with some fertilizers, but it's use will amply com pensate for it's cost.
 When water evaporates it takes away heat and creates cold. For that reason the pig-pen should be kept dry If the pigs are exposed to dampness they lose more warmth of body than is necessary, and this loss must come from the food. It does not pay to convert corn into heat that is to be dissipated into the air. Keep tine pigs dry and warm and there will be greater proportion of fat from | the food consumed.
 By weighing the food and weighing the animals every week the farmer will know if each animal is making gain porpor- tionate to the food it is receiving. It mat ters not what the kind of food may be so long as there is gain in weight by the animal. He will also then have an op- portunity to note the gain of different an- imals on different foods. and be able to feed each one on the foods best adapted to the promotion of the objects desired.
 If properly managed, the orchard may be pastured profitably by sheep, says Prof J. l.. Budd. The only essen tial is not to pasture too closely and to have it so arranged as to turn in the sheep from the yards in the morning and take them out when they get restless and rambling, as this is a stage when they reach up for the limbs and hunt for a branch where the bark is tender. Exper- fence has proven that the orchard insects do not thrive where the sheep run.-[ [Troy Times.
 While milk is being inspected for its
 solids, it would be we'll if an examina-

CARE OF DAIRY CALVES.

Breed and feed are to COW like two wings to a bird-one alone is of little use, says Prof Robertson. In selecting d calf for dairy sire, choose one from lank, rough COW, and never from a smooth, fat, handsome one. Study the calf's antecedents and see that he is back ed by good producers on both sides. This course will enable one to breed up the milk and butter qualities. The cali born September l and December l is the best to raise. It gets good start before winter. winters well and in the spring grows finely. It should have its moth- CTS milk the first three or four days, as it is designed by nature to set the calf's system in proper condition. After it is week old it should have sweet skim milk and to be fed dry, ground oats. Eating the ground oats dry proc 0es saliva to aid digestion, ensures healthy system and stimulates growth and good habits.-[Troy Times.

PRACTICAL POINTERS.

While we believe that farmer ought the needs of his own household, for mar ketable purposes, he ought to concentrate his efforts on certain branch of farm ng and make that branch speciality.
 ssSheep can restore our farms to their former fertility and give us stock from which we can obtain four cash crops each year-wool, early lambs, fat mutton and strong fertilizer" So said Master Bow en to the Connecticut state grange.
 Do not trim any of the trees or vines after the weather becomes severely cold. !. as some of the branches may be winter killed and cannot afford the loss. If win- ter killed before trimming in the spring there will be more room for cutting away the surplus wood without injury than if trimmed.
 Mulch that is placed over the straw berry vines should remain undisturbed until spring, when the bed may be burn- ed over. Mulch is not necessary until WlDGer sets III, put lt suOulu Ue uScu pleu- tifully, in order to avoid alternate freez- ing and thawing of the ground, which causes the plants to be thrown up.
 For pastures bone meal and ashes are equal to anything else that can be applied, and are probably as cheap as any. For permanent pasture about 100 pounds of bone meal and Is bushels of ashes, ] applied once year, the bone meal in the fall and the ashes in the sps ng, for each acre, will keep up full supply of grass. I The rakings of the field. by which the dead crab grass and weeds can be utilized for bedding, will be an advantage, but s
 better plan is to set fire to the dried grasi ! and weeds, so as to clean the field ana destroy some of the seeds on the ground The best time to do this is when tn ground Is frozen and the wind is blowin1 from favorable direction to avoid acci dent or loss of property.

FASHION NOTES.

1t is said. on the best authority, that
the shoulder cape is doomed. Fashion
has decreed that it is injurious to
health, and although physicians and
hygienists, as we'll as commOn-sense
people of all sorts, have long since in
sisted that this was the case, it made no
impression until fashion passed the
verdict, when, 10 and behold, its doom
is sealed!
A stylish dress of figured India silk
has long bell skirt, cutaway jacket
fronts and very full sleeve puffs. The
fitted front, high collar and sleeves from
elbows to wrists are Of plain velvet. A
hat of velvet to match is trimm ed with
plaitings ana ruchings of fine, black
lace.
While fewer wells are worn, there are
yet many ladies who cling to them. The
little veil of fine net is indispensable to
keep the bang in order; otherwise the
hair would blow about the face in the
most unbecoming fashion.

up with a rolled puff of reddish pink
silk at the hem. Double sleeve putfs.

silk, pink reverS anu full sash complete

Velvet will be as popular for spring
wear as it has been during the past
winter. Many of the earlier spring
hats will be made entirely of velvet.
The triple cape seems to be quite as
popular as ever, and the wide, very fult-
plated bertha will be feature of
spring costumes.
Long sash ends of ribbon or velvet
fall from the waist line over the sides
of the skirt.
velvet and silk. are fashionable.

and trimmed with ermine.
