The desert wastes of New Mexico
and Arizona may yet be broad fields Of
pasturage covered with herds of fat
tening cattle if the hopes of the men
who are deeply interested in certain
experiments are realized. The expec-
tations of these men, says the san
Francisco Call, are based upon the won
derful vitality of alfalfa or Mexican
clover. the growth of which is aston
ishingly rapid and field of which viii
yield several crops in a season. Its
roots are said 10 go far down in search
of moisture, sometimes to a depth of
eighteen TO twenty feet, and its nutri-
tious properties and the avidity with
which stock eat it are well known
The large land and live stock invest
Inent companies which are now operat-
ing in New Mexico and Arizona have,
as an essential part Of their schemes Of
utilizing the desert lands, the growing
of large tracts of alfalfa with which 10
feed their range cattle and other stock.
At one ranch alone, the La Cuoca, IN
Mora county, n. NJ, ono thousand head
of range cattle are now being fed and
fattened for market on alfalfa. The
Mexican clover is grown by aid Of I'd
ern irrigation, and the lands laid
down to it tend TO improve In fertility.
Stockmen down in that country have
lost all faith in the proves of modern
yainmakers and their schemes, and they
are running their EFFORTS into more

amount of city mortgages, from the fact
that these counties contain pOpulou

show that a great per cent of farm mort

and other Indian tribes in Oklahoma
Only one or two of the tribes mentioned
III the complaint are in the jurisdiction OF
the interior department. the others having
acquired rights aud privileges OF citizsn-

In the sun dances held by those Indians
who are under the jurisdiction of the de-
partment which were complained of as
indecent, official action, it is stated. would
be taken TO prevent their occurrence
within at least the boundaries of the res
erVation. Officials believe however, that
the reports of vulgarity at these dances

Innuence Of Drugs on the Heart.

The temporary expansion and cen
traction OF the heart under the in
Huence Of certain drugs formed the
subject of paper read by Prof Ger
main See at the last meeting Of the
Academy Of Medicine, Paris The
professor, in collaboration with Dr.
Pignol, gave the following summary:
ID Sparteine is the substance which
dIminlsl:es most promptly and effect
uaIly the volume Of the heart
This drugI strengthens the cardic
muscles and augments their vital
force. t2) Digitalln also contracts
the heart, but only when its cavities
are already in state Of dilatiOn. 81
lodide of potassium tends to contract,
but to a less degree than spartiene.
a. Antipyrin expands the volume,
bat W thout influencing arterial
pressure.
(5) The action of bromide Of po-
tassium may be taken as the opposite
Of iodide Of potassium, but as similar
to ant pyrin. 1t dilates the whole
organ, the right side being slightly
more objected that the left. Certain
other drugs have no effective action.
Caffeine, says Prof. See, has no ntlu-
ence on the cardiac muscles in spite
Of certain assertions TO the contrary.
