NO SPECULATION ABOUT THIS
Congress To he Called in Extra Session tC
Pass a Tariff Bill.

Pass a Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - The Demo
cratic party in congress and the admins
rration have settled upon a definite policy
with reference to an extra session. An I'M
Outstanding has been reached, which is SO
final and absolute that it has passed be-
yond the realm of speculation, that MEM
l,ers will be called together III special ses-
(! sion in the early autumn and tariff bill
! passed through both houses and signed by
| the president before the 1st of January,
1894 il it be possible to do so. All the lead
ers of the party in congress will leave
| Washington with the full knowledge that
| arrangements must not be made which will
| prevent their presence here by the Ist OF
| October, and that it is desirable that they
should be prepared to come here during
September.
Carlisle Will Boss the job.
The tariff question will be made the
leading issue of the session. Everything
that the administration can do to ia
cilitate the speedy framing and passage
of a tariff revision bill will be done This
work will be performe by or under the
supervision of Secretary Carlisle. He will
get material together for the committee on
Ways and means so that it may lose no
time in bringing a bill into the house.
Speaker Crisp is expected TO have the
membership or this committee practically
decided on by the time the house assem-
bles. No time will be wasted; within a
month or six weeks from the day congress
assemblies in special session it is expected
that a tariff bill will be under considera-
tion on the floor of the house.
Looks Upon 1t Settled.
The fact that this policy is so well settled
upon as to admit of no doubt-save in the
possibility of some great unforeseen emer-
gency-is shown by the remarks of Repre-
sentative Springer, chairman of the ways
and means committee, TO an American
Press reporter yesterday who asked him if
anything had been decided on as to an ex
ira session.
"Oh," said Springer, as if he were speak
ing of a thing of the past, "there will be
extra session some time in the fall The
exact date has not been determined
There is no doubt about one being call
ed them"
Not the Least Doubt AboutIt
More at all. The only question was as
to whether one should be called in the
spring or in the fall. 1t was definitely
understood there was to be one. Mr.. Car
Isle says there has been no change of pro-
gramme and that there will be an extra
session early in the fall l have not talked
with the president recently about it, bat
1 am satisfied he has not changed bIs
views. We will try to have tariff bill
through congress before this year ends

e. J. Smith, cashier OF the State
Bank OF Rocky Ford, reports financial
matters quiet. Confidence has been re-
stored and the aggregate of deposits
shows up unusually well. There is an
increasing demand for money. The in
come of the country tributary to Rocky
Ford from the melon crop has not been
as great MS former years, owing to the
diminished buying capacity Of the people.
A marked improvement in local finances
is expected as soon as the alfalfa seed,
grain, hogs and cattle find their way to
market.
The Chieftain says: "The prediction
is made that in another two years the
apiaries around Rocky Ford will supply

The Chieftain is correct. There is no
more favorable locality in the Union for

Ford region. In short time the ENTER
PRISE proposes to give at some length
the experiences OF our bee men. The
facts and figures will surprise those who

Does it Pay to Raise Hogs?

Last weeks ENTERPRISE referred tc
the statement Of L. A. Allen, OF Kansas
City, that Arkansas valley farmers should
raise more hogs, as the profits were
large. Since talking with Mr.. Allen we
have investigated the pork question and
| find that he was quite correct. We have
interviewed one of our laading ranchmen
as to his success with hogs and he has
given us the following figures, showing
what one man has actually done in two
years with only eleven hogs:

This most handsome showing OF profit
is the result OF actual experience, and
the net profit given is based on the sup
position that the drove is all sold by
January l, 1894. But suppose that fair
proportion Of the sows are kept and the
herd constantly increased. In this
event the figures would amount up to
startling proportions. The only con-
tingency which would affect this large
profit would be some sweeping disease,
and the past has shown that the Arkan-
sas valley is singularly free from cholera
or other fatal maladies incidental to hog
raising.
The farmers Of the valley should
ponder the above figures. What one man
has done another can do with similar
facilities and equal care. The outlay for
hog growing is comparatively small-a
few hogs, an alfalfa field and enough
corn to put the finishing touches on the
will mean many thousands OF dollars to
the Arkansas valley when all the farmers
shall make hog raising part, il not
leading feature of their ranch operations.

H. Il. krake, general freight agent,
Missouri Pacific railroad, residing at St.
Louis, was here few days since arrang-
ing to plant in fruit trees the valuable
sixty acres which he owns adjoining
Rocky Ford. The fruit trees are to be
planted next spriug.
jaime Gave has placed on the editor
ial table sample of his late winter ap-
pies. They are large, fine and equal to
the product OF the most noted fruit reg
ions. The orchard from which they
were picked was planted by Humphrey
Best, about fifteen years ago. This is
the Oldest orchard in Otero county and
its yearly product has been such as to
fully establish the fact that tho Arkansas
valley is in every way thoroughly adapted
to fruit culture. The bulk of the orchards
in the county are just now coming into
bearing, and many thousands Of trees
have been planted only one, two and
three years. The prophet who would
predict the development of Otero coun-
ty's fruit interests during the next five
years will have to pitch his estimates on
a high scale to be in the neighborhood OF
the facts.
