way, this thing of borrowing the hose
from the hose house is to be stopped.
There ls no knowing at what hour it may
be urgently needed, and to allow the
hose to be loaned for the benefit of indi-

stroys its usefulness.

Otero County Politics.

The La Junta 'Advertiser-Forum de-
voted two columns last week to the poht-
ical situation in OterO county, from
which we make the following extracts:
REPRESENTATIVE.
II am told that the populists will
move heaven and earth to elect the repre-
sentative, and that George Kilgore is the
first it was Attorney Sabin, but he was
side tracked through the influence Of Kill
gore, and given the city attorneyship, it
is said, as peace offering.
Mr.. Dalton is particularly acceptable
to the rank and file Of the La Junta re-
publicans on account Of his undisputed
loyalty to the republican party. The
name OF Banker Farwell Of tho State
bank, and the name of Tom Patterson OF
the First National have also been
favorably commented upon in con-
nection with the representative.
As yet the democrats have made no
move toward selecting candidate, al
though it is said that Banker Dickey of
Home bank would not seriously object to
the place. Major Dameron would make
a very acceptable candidate, as he is an
uncompromising and devout democrat,
but it is understood that he has promised
to keep of the ticket this fall and devote
his time to the assistance of his party
and friends.
THE JUDaEsHIP.
The judgeship promises to be the bone
Of contention in the republican camp.
District Attorney Gibson says that the
woods about Pueblo are overrun with
judicial timber. When asken to give the
names of some of the leading aspirants,
he said that he for one was a candidate
for the nomination, and has been assured
that Judge Elwell, Walter Dixon,
Judge Salisbury, and Attorneys Wicks,
Coulter and Glenn will also go before
the convention.
Speaking Of probable populist candi-
danes for the judgeship, Mr.. Gibson said
that he knew Of no one on the populist
side, aspiring for the nomination, but the
present incumbent, Judge Voorhees,, and
WIS OF the opinion that he would be NOM
mated by his convention without serious
opposition il any.
+. r. Hoffmire is a candidate for Dis
trict attorney and will have Judge Glib
sons support for the place. As Pueblo
has trotted out no candidate for District
Attorney it seems that this office is con-
ceeded to Otero county"
AL Of the above is very nice from a La
Junta point of view, but let it be remem-
beled that Rocky Ford has some excell-
ent timber for representative in all part
les. When the proper time comes our
candidates will put in an appearance, but
Just now all hands are busy plowing,
planting, and developing the resources Of

RoDDE4,s PLAN ENDORSED.
But Few Dissenting Votes in the Cotton
Convention.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov 21.-An impor-
tant meeting of cotton growers repre-
senting several States occurred IL At
lanta today.
They were called here to consider a
plan recently suggested by J. T. Rod
dey, cotton broker OF New York, for
controlling the price Of cotton.
The meeting was presided over by
Hector D. Lane, Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture of Alabama
After some discussion, the plan as
announced by Mr.. Roddey was, on mo-
ton, recommended, Chairman Lane
and one or two other dissenting. A
committee was appointed consisting of
J. Roddey, 81. S. Iipscomb OF South
Carolina and J. E. Nunnally of Geor-
gia. to call county and State conven-
tons for the election Of delegates to
the interstate convention to be held
at time and place agreed upon by the
committee.
Mr.. Roddey's plan, as explained by
him, is to form a combination of the
cotton growers with a capital of $50,
900, 900 or s1O0,O0o,000. Each cotton
producer is to contribute one bale out
of every five made to the trust. EST
mating the crop at 5000, 900 bales,
this plan would stock the trust with
100000 bales, the withdrawal OF
which from the market, it is urged,
will appreciate the price 25 per cent.
One general Office is proposed with
branch Offices and warehouses at all
cotton receiving points The gins in
every county are to be listed and, If
possible, controlled so as to know the
exact production and to regulate the
supply of cotton.
In regard to the management of
the company, it is to have one general
or head office, say in New York or New
Orleans, with two general directors
from each cotton growing State; have
one office in each State with one direc-
tor from each county in that State and
have. sub-offices in all the principal
cities and towns in the different States
| to control the local cotton, all to be
controlled by the general or head Of
fee; have either special insurance
company organized or the present
companies brought to low rate; let
company wharehousereceipts be issued
with insurance policies and if the far
mer needs money, let the company ad-
vance him fve-eights OF \ Swo-thlrds OF
the value of his warehouse receipts.

that they were not hospital patients,

TONERS ofmedicine.
The cost of maintaining the hospital

TOBACCO AND SILK CULTURE.
The Board of Control of the expert
mental station makes an interesting
report. Among other things it says:
THE question of tobacco curing
was very fully discussed. Letters were
addressed last winter to a number OF
the leading growers, intimating our
willingness to render the industry any
assistance suggested. The tenor Of the
replies received led us to forego any
thing in that line for the present.
anticipating favorable action by
Congress on the bill now pending
locating a number of silk growing ex-
perimental stations, we have taken
proper steps to present our claims and
have filed an application for the loca-
ton of one of them at our college.
Data and. information as to sugar
beets are being gathered preparatory
to thorough trials in different sections
of the State, not only as to adaptabili-
ty of soil and climate to yield per acre,
but to their per cent. of saccharine
matter"

making were begun at the college,
From 4,155.25 pounds of milk, 476.25
pounds of green cheese were made, an
average of 1,72 pounds of milk, about
one gallon being required to make
one pound of cheese. In making some
experiments are being carried on OF
which reports WILDE made later. An
experiment Is now under wayto deter
mine how one may make few cheese
for his own use without expensive ap
paratuS.
