why Are Farm Products depressed !.


The low price of grain in. the United
States is the more marvellous when 1t Is
taken into account that, while our crop
for 1898 does not promise to be above
the average, Great Britain, our best Gus
toner, is threatened with a shortage that
borders on famine.
The Cork (Ireland) Constitution of the
21st of June says of the English outlook
that the drought has been SO severe that
thousands of acres have not been planted
at all, in other places the seed sown has
not terminated, in others the best that
can be expected is half crop. Hay is IN
worse condition than grain. one
Devonshire farmer reports a small rack
from seven large meadows, another half a
ton from five fields. Hay is selling IN
London at $50 per ton. One farmer
writes that he is feeding his cattle on
turnip tops and nettles. AT Alderman
water is so scarce as to sell at cents the
pailful. This scarcity of grain and fod-
der is forcing farmers to sell their cattle
for what they will fetch, SO that, while all
other articles of food are unusually high,
meat is unusually cheap in England just
now, though necessarily it is not fat or
juicy. An equally bad condition is re-
ported by the Cork Constitution as exist
| ing on the continent of Europe.
With these facts in view, the question
| recurs: How is it that American wheat
recently touched tho lowest point that 1T
has reached during thirty years?-Chl-
cago Inter-Ocean.

charge of eight per centum; this interest
charge is entirely too high and can not be
born by the tax payers in this county as
matters stand present;the board should
refuse to make this levy and the bond
holders should come in and take new S
per cent bonds under the 1891 refunding
law; this will be better all around and
there will be nothing unjust about it;
values are going down and why not in
terest:
These bonds are held by men who have
no earthly interest in this county and are
spending their money in Europe and else
where; the bonds were bought up at large
discounts.
The first duty of the county commits
sioners is to the people; the bond hold
ers who want an exorbitant interest
should be compelled to take smaller
and more just interest; the county COM
missioners should meet again and should
revise their action.

EIGHT PER CENT SANTA FE COUNTY BONDS.

The county commissioners have levied
the taxes for the coming year; and for
territorial and county purposes in this
county the tax levy amounts to thirty
four and a half mills on dollar; this is
the largest tax yet laid in this county.
The county commissioners in the opinion
of many tax payers might reduce this levy
to some extent. The New MEXICAN de-
sires, for instance, to call attention to one
item; it seems that there are still bonds
of the value of $4,000 and more out
standing, upon which there is an interest

Tbair

Unfortunately children Of tender years
are often afflicted with c1tarrh sometimes
contact with diseased persons. The child Is
listless and dull with poor memory, disin..
clination to study: the nostrils are sore and
clogged up: appetite variable; sleep heavy,
awaking with startled dreams. Parents
not knowing the child has catarrh are apt
to blame the child for being cross and
peevish, for stupidity. etc, instead of
having their child cured of the disease that
beclouds the intellect, impairs the health
and darkens the future of their offspring.
During the course of the disease the eyes
become weak and watery, hearing dulled.

TINE ARID COUNTRy'S HOPE.

Gov. Llewelling, of Kansas, has done
the sensible thing in refusing to hearken
to the demand of people representing the
western portion of the state for special
session of the state legislature to appro-
pirate money to supply them with seed
wheat. The demand for such a move
came from the drought stricken region of
Kansas, a region settled by people who
are engaged in the questionable occupa-
tion of ''bucking" nature in an effort to
farm lands there on tho same plan that
has proved successful in the eastern and
central parts of the state. This has been
tried for years and has failed, and it will
ever fail as long as the people of that
locality sheer at irrigation and depend
upon the natural rainfall for moisture.
In the eastern and central parts of
Kansas an enormous crop is now about
ready for the harvest. The line that
separates the arid from the arabic part of
the state is very plainly marked at about
the Goth meridian.
The difference is very readily notice
able; fields of waving grain and green
pastures fading quickly from sight to
give place to barren lands. Uuder the
circumstances there is but one thing for
the western Kansas man to do; he must
by some means develop water for irriga-
ton or 60 to producing a crop that
grows with scant water supply. Alfalfa
is already in much favor in some sec
tions, and as there are few prospects for
securing water from any source, this
variety of forage must eventually be-
como very popular there. The improved
wild pea ought also to meet with much
favor in that and other arid regions.
Forage of this species is their only hope.
Western Kansas and Nebraska, eastern
Colorado and western Texas have a
common interest with New Mexico in
| the introduction of this class of dry land
forage plants, and the sooner the people
of these localities realize that the time is
at hand for earnest study of the subject
| the sooner will the arid west secure per-
manent prosperity.

How the Lfttio Imperial Princes of Ger

princes, as is very generally known, are

taught separately. but for same hours
the CROWN prince and Prince Fritz are
taught together. The crown prince,
who is most Jealous, and takes all his
lessons in earnest, LIS much further adj

play hours during the morning are filed
up with gymnastics, games Of ball, Dig
ging, etc, In the playground. near tho
right wing of the new palace At

witches, clarct and natural mineral
water, which beverage is much drunk
1T the imperial table. After lunch
they again have lessons for a short
time, and then take their riding
lessons, either IN the riding school in
bad weather or in fine weather out of
doors. The GROWN prince, who is an
excellent rider, with firm seat. has
lately begun to ride His white horse.

crown princes military governor,
Maj. Won Fallzenhayn. Princes Fritz
and Adelbert accompany the crown
prince on their ponies, and 1t is a pretty

tney vanish II her mouth Is mystery
and has puzzled all the physicians
about, many having come from New
Orleans TO witness the phenomenon
Some really believe that the snakes do
go down into the stomach, while others
are convinced the witch IS simply play-
ing some sleight-of-hand trick on them,
but if the latter Is the case it Is so ciev-
erly done that there is no detecting the
performance.
The witch presents most extraorii-
nary and hideous appearance sitting
with the snakes darling their fat heads
IN and out of her toothless mouth, with
their little bead-like eyes swapping as if
in fury all about their mistress. AS
nearly as they can be counted there
are six or seven of these reptiles.
though old Nance says there are many
more, but they are all so much OF a sire

They are probably OF a harmless
nature, though old Nance declares they
are highly poisonous and no one wish
