viate them. He leaves wife and a

Al valverde Dead.

Joseph Alonzo Valverde breathed his
last at z O'Clock yesterday svensng,
July s, 1894.
| For several months past his health
had been anything but good, he suffer
ing from an affection OF the spleen.
Some ten days ago he was seized with
. severe chill, and from that on suffered
greatly until death came to his relief.
Mr.. valvsrds came to DeLamar about
three years ago, from Inyo. County,
California, and for snme time worked
IN the DsLamar mine, but his health
failing him be had to seek other pur-
suits to support his wife and family Of
small children. At the time of his de-
cease, he was interested in saloon
at Silver City.
Some two months ago, his wife, who
has been an invalid for the past two
years, suffering from varicose ulcer in
one of her limbs brought on during con-
fnement, returned with her four little
children to their former home in Cali
fornia, and she is now in San Francisco
undergoing treatm ent for her lameness.
Mr.. Valvsrde had built them pleas
ant little home here, and was one OF
the kindest OF nen to his family, Of
whom he was very proud. Only day
or two before he was taken down with
his last illness, he had expressed to the
writer desire to pay visit to his aged
father in California, saying that he
would not be surprised to receive
visit from his father at any time, unless
he returned home. Mr.. Vslverds was
q native of California his parents were
from Sonora, Mexico.
All who were acquainted with the de-
ceased knew him as genial, generous
and kind hearted man, and much sym
patty is felt here for his bereavsd wife
and fatherless little ones.
His remains will be buried in the
cemetery at Wagontown, at 8 O'Clock
to-day.

IRRIGATION AND FREE CULTURE.

The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irregation,
says Colman's Rural World, and the
arid lands question will never be salts
laetorily settled without the recogni-
ton of this principle in its solution.
America can i'll afford to ignore the
experience of other nations in this re-
spect, and forestry should receive
equal consideration with irrigation.
1t has been estimated that within
historic times some 7, 600, 900 of square
miles along the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, once highly fertile, have been
changed into worthless deserts, and
for nearly 1000 years the inhabitable
portion of the earth has decreased at
the average rate of $500 square miles.
This has been produced by the direct
agency of mantle evil being chiefly
due to river floods caused almost ex-
elusively by the destruction Of land
protecting forests.
1t is right that America should set
the example Of reelaimlng desert lands
and thus increase the earth's capacity
for supporting the human race Irri-
cation and tree culture must go hand
and hand in this work.

Farm AND GARDEN.

ttAltfAIiNb AFTER SHOWERS,
There is no time better to cultivate
the soil than after light rainfall, by
which we mean any shower in which
enough water does not fail to make
the soil sticky. There are scores Of
times when such rain falls during the
summer. In this is to be included
times when the corn leaves are wet
with dew in the morning, so that hit
ting the whiflletree on the leaf causes
the drops of dew to fall to the ground.
This dew is always rich in ammonia in
summer, but unless it is cultivated
into the soil very quickly it is evap-
GRATED and entirely lost Every Guilt
walton of the soil, while its surface is
wet, imprisons some moisture under
the turned surface, and this condition
is undoubtedly favorable to nitrifica-
ton ofthe air, even if no ammonia we're
in the rain water in the first place.
Cultivation after a crust has formed
on the surface prevents the radiation
of heat and the evaporation of moir-
ture, and it does all the more good if
the soil turned up by the cultivator is
less moist than that which it turns |

THE FLAVOR OF MILK.

Con my farm | haze had an unin-
terrupted experience in cheese making
for 81 years, but have now aban-
doned the making of cheese and ar
ranged to sell my milk" says I. c.
Smith, in the Live Stock journal Al
manac.
1.-THE reason for the change is that
fol some years past we have been
fighting against gradual falling off
from the fine favor which for long
time enabled us to make very salts
factory maket of superior produce.
For quarter of century, viz. from
1856 10 1881, We were on the ascend
ing scale, both in the quantity and
quality of the cheese which the farm
produced But deterioration in flavor
set in, against which the greatest care
has been only partially successful.
Those who are acquainted with the
cheese trade know what difference in
price there is between a very fine dairy,
which like Cmsar's wife, is above sus-
picion, and dairy which is only
good, or at most very good The in
auence Of food upon milk on this
farm is not only directly traceable to
the food upon which the COWS have
been lately fed, but also indirectly to
the continuous use of large amount
of Artificial food and manure which
has entirely altered the heritage of the
farm
''No one could have been more re-
luctaht than myself to acknowledge
that high farming, which of course
greatly increases its quantity, has an
adverse influence on the quality OF
cheese which given farm produces.
The dystem of making which / have
followed is called the Derby system,
and IL identical with that by which
the finest Leicester cheese is produced.
