ExpERrMrNr with wheat as food

EXPERIMENT with wheat as a food
for farm animals Is one OF the results
of the low price Of wheat and the
comparatively high price of corn.
Reports as to results are coming from
all parts of the West. Some OF these
reports assert that wheat is superior
To corn in the feeding OF cattle and
hogs, while others-particularly those
from the "corn belt"-state that
better results are obtained from the
feeding Of corn and wheat mixed
than from wheat alone. In every
instance 1t was found that the AMI
mails fed on wheat, either clear or
mixed with corn, thrived better when
the grain was ground than when 1t
was fed whole. As a food for cows,
the report of the Kansas State Board
Of Agriculture for the quarter end
ing with September Is to the effect
that wheat sis an exceptional milk
producer, and for that purpose corn
Il scarcely to be compared with It,"

THE Supreme Court Of Minnesota
has rendered decision of considera-
BILE interest to the great and daily
increasing number of bicyclists. 1t
involves the rights Of the latter on
the highways. The facts in the case
are that horse attached to buggy,
while being driven along a street,
took fright at bicycle coming from
the opposite direction, ran away,
smashed the buggy and injured the
driver. The latter brought suit
against the bicyclist for damages,
and the court holds that under such
circumstances damages are not re-
coverable. The Judge says: Obi
cycles are vehicles used very extern
sively for convenience, recreation,
pleasure and business, and the riding
of them on the public highway in the
ordinary manner, as is now done, Is
neither unlawful nor prohibited, and
they cannot be banished because they
are not ancient vehicles and were not
used In the garden OF Eden by Adam
and Eve" This decision Is in accord
with several that have been rendered
by other courts. Important as it is
to bicyclists, its chief interest to the
community is its illustration OF the
wonderful adaptab!lity of the COM
mon to the constantly changing con-
ditions of modern life. No matter
how much new inventions, discoy-
cries or combinations may vary, the
circumstances under which society
exists, the same principles that gov
erned our ancestors years ago, are APP
plicable to the emergencies of the
present time. This it is that has
made American liberty synonymous
with justice and equity. The COM
mon law has ever possessed within
itself the power of wide and vast
expansion, and with the same ease is
applicable to the smallest as we'll as
to the largest affairs. Nothing in
human conduct is too minute or too
great for its comprehension.

VERY much of the wrong-doing of
the world arises from ignorance and
thoughtlessness. Temptations are
strong, desires are ardent. inclina-
lions are imperious, and the weak
and undisciplined Judgment is easily
, led to concede that there Is no great
harm in yielding. Gradually this
yielding comes to be habit, and the
character is formed, or rather wreck
ed, by self-indulgence where 1t might
have been saved, elevated, and
strengthened by more knowledge and
a wiser training.

not possibly have got there without
going on the cars. The general opinion
entertained By those who knew them,
is that the Staldleys had nothing to
do with the attempted murder. There
are some very queer things in connec-
tion with the outrage, but the officers
do not think they have enough against
the Standleys to warrant them in max

Secretary Baker, of the State Board
of Health. said that an attempt would
be made this winter to secure an APP
preparation by the legis ature for a
contagious disease inspection. What
Is actually needed in this state, he
says. is three experts, whose duty
shall be to look after outbreaks OF
diptheria, scarlet fever and smallpox.
Efforts to secure an appropriation for
the salaries OF such experts have been
made 10 the legislature without avail,
but Secretary Baker says that an ap-
preparation Of few Thousand dollars
for such a purpose would save many
thousands OF dollars to the people OF
the State, as well as in the saving OF
many lives. At present the state
Board of Health has no one whom II
can detail to make these in: pections,
and no fund upon which to draw for
such purpose. The necessity for
such an appropriate and the estab'
lishment of such inspection Is
illustrated by the fact that the ut
break of diphtheria in Elkton, Huron
County, which has lasted eighteen
months, has already cost the county
over $4,000.

CROP BULLETIN
OF the New Mexico Weather Service
For the Week Ending July II.
u. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE,

U. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE,
Weather Bureau.
Bulletin No. 9.-No weekly bulletins
were issued on the Sd ar 10th, due to the
interruption of the mails during the
strike.
All weather conditions have been favor
able for the advancement of crops during
the past three weeks except the rainfall,
which has been very unevenly distributed.
Some localities have been favored with
an abundant supply while Others have
had but little rainfall.
Generally speaking the southern half OF
the territory is very badly in need OF rain
although some localities have had several
good showers. The supply of water for
irrigation is very low in the lower Rio
Grande valley. The Pecos valley reports
plenty of water for irrigation and also
reports the cattle ranges to be in good
condition, but the ranges in other parts
of the southern half of the territory are
very badly dried up. In the northern
part of the territory the rains have been
abundant with the exception of the San
Juan valley, where but little rain has
fallen. There is plenty of water for irri-
cation in the northern part and crops are
usually in excellent condition. The cattle
ranges show plenty of feed and stock OF
all kinds is doing we'll.
These bulletins will now be issued regu-
larly each week and all correspondents
ara rao uaated to maka their weekly re.
ports as full as possible and to mail same

GOOD WORK, TRUE WORK
Farewell Sermon of Rev. Albert G.
MOnk-Excellent Results OF
His Ministry.

The NEW MEXICAN Is indebted to a val
ued friend for the suhjoined information
of general as we'll as specific interest:
A larg and sorrowing congregation
gathered at the church of the Holy Faith
on Sunday last to join In the last service
and listen to the farewell sermon of their
friend and pastor, Rev. Albert c. Monk.
The regular choir was assisted by Mrs. E..
L. Bartlett, Mrs. E. J. Mclean and four
members of the 10th infantry band.
Schilllng's TIE Deum was finely rendered,
the solos being taken respectively by
Mrs. A. G. Ireland, Mrs. G. D. Koch, Mrs.
E. l.. Bartlett, Mr.. Mengis and Mr.. Pecha.
Mr.. Monk took as text for his sermon,
THAT Ye Should Earnestly Contend for
the Faith Which Was Once Delivered to
the Saints" In his usual clear and con-
else manner the youthful speaker dwelt
first on the great responsibility of the
christian ministry in contending ear
nestly for the faith, and that in no uncer-
tain way, feeling deeply the awful temp
tation which was theirs to make their
teachings vary to suit the popular taste.
In closing Mr.. Monk thanked the people
for the unvarying kindness to him and
thoughtfulness of him, asking their in
diligence for anything in which he had
fallen short in his duty toward them and
! assuring them that his wish and intention
had always been in the right direction.
From the report of the work during his
years sojourn here we find that there
have been eight baptisms, two marriages,
seven funerals and five persons have re-
ceived the Apostolic right of the laying
on of hands; the number of communl-
cants has increased from forty-three to
sixty -one; the number of services held in
the church have been 1872; over 800 paro-
chial calls have been made; the number of
scholars in the Sunday school has in
creased from seventeen to fifty-nine. The
Guild of the church has spent on improve
ments inside the church $3.50; this includes
window now being made to be placed in
the church by the Guild in loving mem
DRY of Rev. H. s. Ilderton, who died in
Santa Fe some two years ago.
The Sunday school children are now
raising money to place brass cross on
the altar in memory of Mills Kendrick,
the son of the bishop, who died here soon
after the coming of the bishop to labor
among us.
The finances o: the church are in a
most satisfactory condition, there being
no debt in any way resting on the church
and money still in the treasury. In look
ing over the record of the year we are
forcibly reminded of st. Paul's words to
St. Timothy: "Let no one despise thy
youth" May God watch over him and us
and help US to find successor worthy tc
take his place.
