MULES TAKEN FROM DARk
NESS TO LIGHT.

81 cav an odd sight in Luzerne
county a few days ago" sad Eckley
B. Coke, of Drlfton. "Six mules
that had for four years hauled care
in the lower workings of coal
shaft, had to be brought up owing
to the flooding OF the mine on &C
count of fire. The mules in all that
time had seen on light stronger
than the flicker of the little Davy
lamps the miners carried. The sun
was in the zenith when they reach
ed the surface, and the atmosphere
was as clear as crystal.
The astonishcd creatures closed
their eyes to shut out the flood of
strong light, and kept them tightly
closed while they were being driv
en- to pasture lot, a mile distant.
and turned losse. There they stood
trembling. as if they were afraid
something evil WAS about to Lefall
them. Presently they half opened
their eyes and peered around IN
open mouthed amazement. 1t was
clear they couldn't understand it..
"When they had become accns
toned to the sunlight they elevat
cd their heads and slowly swept
their gszc over culm piles, sky
mountains and horizon again and
again. Toward shutdown they
broke into a chorus of joyus brays,
the like of which was never heard
from mules before.
"After quarter Of an hour of
that music they took to kicking,
jumping, whirling around like tee
totums and rolling on the sod as if
they had gone mad. For four days
they spent thgir time gazing at the
new sights OF field and sky, refns
ing food and water, not even nib
bling at the grass, and not as mu, h
as blinking sn eye in sleep" Phi

We are Indebted to orr friend.
the editor Of Ell obrero, for a
statement of the Little unpleasant
ness which occurred in The Her

stated IN our account of the matter,
the editor was absent when the two
intoxicated meu entered the Office

relied on the statements Of the
latter concerning the aft .ir. Not
until we received Sundays Obrere
were We aware that the cause OF the
disturbance originated in THE HEE
AID office, one of the employees OF
of the Office insulting the two men
as they were passing.
Since learning this fact, we have
discharged The boy who caused the

never be repetition OF such a die
agreeable occurrence. In any case,
We shall be indebted TO the friend

HEAVY RAIN IN NUECES
COUNTY
Corpus Christi Caller april y

Corpus Christi Caller april ~
The east wind which has been
blowing for the past two days
brought US a heavy rain yesterday
ca root so4kcr sud trash-lifter."
The rain commenced in dead earn
est about 11:30 o'clock and contin-
ued for 4 hours almost steadily,the
wind during the time blowing from
the northeast. Water ran in the
streets like q river and every els
tern in town Sc far as we know is
full and running over. The amount
of rainfall was 4 inches. This
heavy doSnpoar extended as far ae
Bsnquete: By telephone we could
hear the rain patterirg on the roofs
at Sharpsbure so Heavy did it tall
there. Judge Borden says il com
maenced there at 10 o'clock and at
p o'clock they had been blessed
with about d isch rainfall. At
Beevills snd other points along The
Aranses Pass rca9 the same amount
of rainfall is reported. n. Luther,
the Western Union operator at
Corpus Christi, says bis wires are
down to tie south, therefore he
cannot tell how much rain fell
down towards Brownsville. Tele-
graphic reports reached the city
early yesterday morning that a fine
rain had fallen the evening before
all the way from Rcalitos, Duval
county, to Saltillo, Mexico. To
say that the rain was glorious, will
be putting it mildly. II was more
than glorious and the good ii viii
do cannot begin to be estimated.
1t will change the aspect of the
whole country over which it ex
tended-bringing relief:o suffer-" g
stock and new life to parched vege
tation. Never was rain more bad
ly needed and no people can posi-
bly, feel more thankful now than
those of Southw est Texas.

FEEDING FOR MARK EFT.
A Mora County Farmer Speaks Of
Practical Results Secured by
Feeding Cattle on
Alfalfa.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Watrous, Feb. 4.-Probably it may in
terest some of the readers of the NEW
MEXICAN to learn that feeding cattle for
the market on alfalfa has proved a sue.
cess for number of years here in Mora
county, and again this past year large
numbers have been successfully fattened
on alfalfa. For instance, Col. Head ia
feeding 1,1oO head, Gov. Hadley is feeding
large number, 80 also are the Tlptons,
Streeter, Mccartney, Capt. Austin, Lutte
Marden and many others. The La Cueya
Ranch company, west of here, is fatten-
ing every year over thousand head of
prime steers with equal success. The
alfalfa fed them nets the company over
$40 per ton in the stack.
We also have been for couple of years
experimenting in fattening sheep on al
falfa for the Chicago market; it proved a
grand success last year, and if your rea-
soning that free wool increases the price
of wool is correct we ought to be doubly
successfully this year.
Some Judgment has to be used in fat
tening cattle, on alfalfa, but experience
will soon teach. This is an industry
which will pay the farmer and the stock
raiser and ought to be fostered. If cat
tlemen instead of rushing into Kansas
City their steers and COWS, which are only
in good order, during October. November
and December, when the market is glut-
ted by an over supply, would put their
choice steers on alfalfa feed for ninety
days, then they would realize big price
for their stock and help themselves and
the farmers and the territory in general
There are many farmers hereabouts who
are prepared to feed hundred head OF
steers on alfalfa for cattle owners at SO
much head per day, all they can eat, and
without further trouble to the cattle own
ers. Stock men out to look into this and
make their future calculations accord
ingly. Q. W. W.
