THE HORSE IN NEW CLIMATES.
From tn 9 NOW York sun.

From tn Now York Sun.
Our faithful friend, the horse, is
greatly missed by all whose fortune
takes them to regions where he does
not thrive. Just as in Minnesota the
farmers are always on the lookout for
varieties Of apple trees hardy enough
to stand the climate, so in some tropi-
cal ATTITUDES where horses have not
been introduced, there is great long
ing for them, and hope that some
equine variety may be found adapted
for conditions under which the race
does not now flourish.
In the dry heat Of the northern Sou
dan, where tropical verdure gradually
gives place to desert sands, the horse
thrives finely. In the Mohammedan
states OF that region there are multi.
tudes Of the finest of horses; but when
these animals are taken into moister
climates toward the sea or THIS equator
they begin to fail, and natives say the
stock is maintained not by breeding
but by fresh importations. These ma
tiyes, however, know little Of the care
and breeding Of horses, and white
men have not yet introduced the ane
animals OF Houssa and Bornu into
other parts Of Africa. The Gcrmdns
of Cameroens and the Guinea coast
are now thinking seriously OF trying to
acClimatize the Soudan horsc.
Six years ago the New Guinea com-
pany imported some Java ponies into
that most unheBthful region in the
Pacific, almost under the equator,
known as Kaiser Wilhelmsland. The
experiment seems to have succeededc
for the ponies are multiplying and are
doing good service both for draught
and fol riding, These tough and
hardy ponies are highly priced and
widely used throughout a large part
of the Dutch East Indies, and DR..
Hindorf and other Germans, conspicu-
Gus friends of the new colonies, are
now urging that Java ponies be intro.
duced into German East Africa.
1t is likely, also that the experiment
of introducing the South American
horse into tropical Africa win soon be
tried. In fact, this animal is 60 desir-
able an adjunct to the work Of deyel-
oping new countries, that the effort to
get him into the strange places Of
Africa, and keep him there in an
able-bodied condition, will not cease
so long as there is any hope of success.

THE ARID REGION.

From the New York Sun.
This bill pending in congress to turn
over to the states and territories the
arid public lands lying within their
respective limits, so that they may
make what they can Of these lands by
irrigation, has 4 sound and sensible
basis. 1t may need to be guarded by
additional restrictions in order to pro
duce the most beneficial results
Since the water courses on which the
systems of reservoirs, dams and bitches
depend often traverse two or more
states, care is required in framing leg
islation of this sort. A danger also to
be guarded against is the possible per-
version of such project Of general
benefit to the purposes of monopolles
and rings that might otherwise con-
troll local legislatures. These, how
ever, are details under the general
plan. The first inquiry is as to whe-
ther the proposed distribution Of the
arid lands is the wisest one; and Of
this there seems to be little doubt.
The irrigation necessary to make
this vast domain fertile should be
undertaken by private enterprise, IN
der state laws. Thus far there has
been little demand upon congress for
any work except preliminary survey
ing and the segregation Of reservoir
sites. But after the great areas of
fertile soil now open for homestead
settlement shall have been taken up,
the federal government will be urged,
probably, to apply irrigation to the
arid lands in order that they may
bring better price. That is not the
business of the government; and even
as measure of economy it should
give up these lands now in order that
by the time they are needed for occu-
patton, they may have been made fer
tile under state supervision. OF
course mineral lands would be exempt
cd from such grants.
AS generally deaned, the arid region
OF the United States lies between the
Tooth meridian on the east aud Tie
Coast Range on the west, and extends
from the British possessions TO Mexi-
co. It covers nearly l,OOO,OOO square
miles, and includes Colorado Utah
Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexi-
co and Arlzona, with parts Of Kansas,
Nebraska, Montana, the Dakotas,
Texas, California, Oregon and Wash
ington. Obviously it cannot all be
made fertile by the irrigation system,
since the existing water courses will
not permit that. But it is believed
that one-afth of this area can be
turned into good farming land; and to
accomplish such a result would justify
a great outlay Of labor and money.
The act of October 2, 1888 approeri-
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1893-01-27

ated 100000 for investigating the ex-
tent to which the arid lands could be
redeemed and for setting apart irrl-
gable lands and reservoir sites. At
the end of the lrst years operations
there bad been surveyed nearly $4,000
square miles, and measurements Of
streams had been made in various
drainage basins. The following year
the appropriation was $3.50, 0OO and the
results were increased. A good idea
of the photography of the drainage
basins Of the Missouri, the Upper Yel-
lowstone, the Sun river, Cache Ia
Poudre creek, the Arkansas, the Rio
Grande, the Snake, the Bear, the
Provo, the SEWER the Truckee and
the Carson, was obtained by the in
vestigations. Up to the close of last
year over $50 reservoir sites had been
surveyed and held for The action OF
congress, and many important facts as
to the storage capacity Of the various
sites had been collected.
But while the Government has done
much in this direction for irrigation,
and will probably do much more, the
actual labor Of dammlng and ditching
should be provided for by judicous
transfer of the lands to the states,
With the needed authority over tho
water courses. The earnestness with
which the whole subject Of irrigation
is regarded at the vest is itself a guar
antee that the steps to profit by such
legislation will be taken.
indeed, the enthusiasm of the arid
region over its aridity is one of the
modern maryels of the west, and a
very pleasant object Of contemplation.
Probably at this moment the irrigation
farmers are grateful for their preser-
yation from inuudation, as well as
from the perils Of drought. The mis-
fortunes Of agriculture in regions that
depend on rainfall, as set forth in the
Arid Region, are indeed pathetic:
GLOW is it in the country beyond,

rain? First comes the report that the
season is too wet and cold, and there
is danger of the seed roLting in the
ground; or the growing grain looks
yellow ard sickly and more sunshine
is urgently needed. Later on, per-
haps, the papers announce that no
rain has fallen for weeks; the corn is
curling up and is threatened with de-
struction.i Such tales cannot be cur
rent in the arid region. The grain

+ While this spirit prevails, and is
kept up by the dne and steaGy crops
which Tie dvellers IN the arid regions
have to show for the faith chat is In
them, the irrigation movement is sure
TO 50 forward.

WE ARE BEING Advertised.


From Evansville, Wis, Tribune.
II. l.. Austin has returned from his
extensive trip through the west, in
Guiding New Mexico and Old Mexico,
making in all 5000 miles. His travels
were filled with interest and full of
information of the country We are
creditably Informed that New Mex.
leo is the coming country for emlgra-
tion as well as immigration.
Fruits Of all kinds grow there in
profusion. We were shown as fine
fruit as we have ever seen. The pc
culiarity of the New Mexico apple is
its fine appearance, glossy skin, large
size ARD good eating quality. or
peaches, pears, grapes, SC, there is
nothing superior, and they surpass
those in California. The fruit of
New Mexico, and in particular that OF
the Mesilla valley commands in the
market ia Colorado a higher price
than that from California. We were
shown the fruit froH one OF the lead
ing farms Of New Mexico. This farm
is known as the "La Flor Del Vale"
and is one Of the best producing farms
in the Mesilla valley.
Nr. Austin speaks of his trip in
very high terms. He has made many
friends in the west This we were
confident he weuld DO, being young
man Of superior worth possessing nat
ursl ability. lie says the climate Of
New Mexico is the best on the conti-
nent, especially southern New Mexico,
for lung diGeulties.
New Mexico needs two important
factOrs-a sanitarlum to accommo-
date the people from tho east who go
west, seeking a winter health resort;
secondly, it needs proper husbandry
to cultivate the soil, which by irriga-
tion is the best known means Of maxi
ing the earth yield her increase. Good
gardeners is one OF the needs of the
hour.
At four O'clock ON the afternoon Of
the 18th, only three laws, passed by
the legislature, had been sent to the
governor for his approval or disapproy-
al, and the session is new half over
the bill relating TO the qualification
Of officials, the repeal of poll tax as to
voting, and an act for some legislative
printing in Spanish. In this connec-
tion, it may be stated that on the very
last day Of the session, two years ago,
an even forty-one bills were sent to
the governor, he b5irg compelled to
sign them without time enough to
read them, else block the wheels Of
the territorial government. The gov
ernor has caused it to be widely
known that he cannot he depended
upon for such hasty action in such i'm
portant matters in the future.-Optlc.

OF 1860 was party that favored slavery
and the Introduction OF slavery into free
territory it was opposed TO free speech
and was terribly down on the ''nigger.''
A little later, il was opposed TO fighting
the rebellion and favored compromise; (,
and denounced any effort to free the slaves.
It opposed the emancipation proclamation,
the enfrancbisement Of the negroes, etc.
To-day it is 10 favor OF about everything
that it opposed during the five or six years
succeeding the opening OF the war OF the
rebellion. 1t is like some cid jack.

will be found united Is the grand old jack
