ARKANSAS VALLEY FAIR.
The Relation of Horticulturists to the
Approaching Exhibition.

"PPh"tseAhhN
Although very few have been
devoting any considerable part of
their time to fruit growing in this
section, until the last two or three
years, there are a number who
have some fruit in bearing from
which specimens could be taken
for exhibition at the Arkansas
Valley Fair which is held at Rocky
Ford every autumn.
At this Fair, in connection with
Watermelon Day, a great many
people are here to see what can be
done by irrigation in Otero county
and by making good showing OF
the horticultural products, as well
as of the farm and garden crops,
we will draw class of people who
will help develop this industry.
This is of great importance to
everyone from the fact that our
land is more adopted to fruit
growing than anything else and
we are more in need of practical
fruit growers than any other class
of people, because there has only
been men enough in that business
to demonstrate what can be done.
Those few have have gone through
the worst part of the work of de-
veloping that line and have by ex-
perience found, which varieties
are best and have learned much of
the best methods and proper times
for irrigation, planting, pruning,
cultivation, etc., 80 that those who
now enter the field can tell how to
go about it to establish and care
for a fruit farm and can figure
with some degree of certainty on
the future outcome OF their efforts.
With this condition of affairs on
our hands and realizing the great
benefits to ourselves to be derived
from greater production of fruit
and the cooperation of all inter
ested, Ye should all put a shoulder
to the wheel Let us give those
who visit our Fair, for the purpose
of obtaining information about
our fruit industry, an opportunity
to see what can be done with prop
er management, and also give them
a chance to talk, with those of us
who are working on that line SO
that they may know what is re-
quired to produce a good quality
of fruit and what we have to COLI
tend with as we'll as our advan-
tages as regards earliness, water
supply, market shipping fa-
cilities. etc.
Our Horticultural society has
been the means of stirring up the
people living among us to reali.
zation of the Importance of this
industry and has been the source
of much valuable knowledge to
those who are trying to grow fruit
either for home use or market and
through this Fair the outsiders
who have an eye on this section
be enabled to receive the
same benefits: Frank Crowley i'll

ARTESIAN WELL NO. 3.
Garden Place TO have Gushef Of Pure
Water,


Water.
Garden Place is beautiful and pro-
ductive suburb Of Rocky Ford. It Il just
outside the city limits on the south and
consists Of five and ten-acre tracts in n
high state of cultivation in orchards md
gardens. The residents OF Garden Place
have concluded that all they need to full
ly perfect their locntion is artesian water.
Hence they have concluded contract
with @. II. McVay to bore a we'll. Early
Monday morning the machinery began
moving out to the site Of the new we'll
and the erection of the derrick is now be-
ing pushed. The plans OF the Garden
Place residents include a system Of pipes
leading to all of the lots represented in
the company, where the water will be in
troduced into the houses in such way as
each individual may determine. Tho
cost OF the we'll and pipes will be pooled
and each stakeholder pay his proportion.
By this means the location of the we'll
will he central and those nearest It have
no advantage in expense Of procuring
water. Successfully carried out this pro-
joct will add much to the value Of tho
land covered by the system Of pipes and
give the high grounds to the south spec
ial value for residence purposes. The
parties interested in the Garden Place
we'll arc: B. q. Dye, J. B. Hunt, F.
McClain, H. A. Dawley, ". G. Steele, A.
@. Conner, W. P. Noe, G. A. Jones, VIM.
Black, G. II. Taylor, G. W. Swink. Mrs.
Hitchcock, j. E. Goddiug, Mrs Ander-
son, U. g. Heines and the school district.
The location OF the we'll is on strip of
land near A. G. Comer's home, belonging
ing to B. o. Dye, but which will be
decided to the Garden Place Artesian
Well Co. The total expense Of the well
and the necessary piping is estimated at
about s2,sOO.
Since the above WINS in type propo-
sition has been made to change the loca-
ton to higher ground and admit several
other stock holders. This suggested
change has got tn 9 business in tangle
and at this writing the negotiations are
at standstill.
L. G. Swink is enthusiastic over the
value Of our artesisn water for steaming
purposes. He had a fair trial Of its mer-
its last week as compared with ditch wa
ter. He filed the tank Of his traction
engine at the we'll for trip Of few
miles out in the country. Only four
shovels Of coal were required 10 make
steam to haul the machinery out TO the
place Of working. On the rsturn trip he
had to fill the boiler with ditch water and
says it took more than three times the
amount Of coal to bring the machinery
back to Rocky Ford that it took to carry
il out. Furthermore, it was up grade
going out and down coming back. Mr..
Swink proposes to give the water trial
extending over week or two and report
results. He is confident that il ia reg

Larks.

The trade in larks all over the world Is
enormous and execrable and is as large in
England as in Italy. It should at once be
made penal by heavy fines on the trnppers,
the vendors and the eaters, or ere long no
more will the lark be heard on the earth.
1t is admitted by all who know anything
OF the subject that agriculture would be
impossible without the aid of birds. as the
Larvae and developed insects Of ali kinds
would make desert OF the entire area Of
cultivated land
This is well known, yet all over the
world the destruction of birds RACES IN
checked, and no attempt is made to pro
tect them, TO intsrdict their public sale
and TO enable them 10 nest and rear their
young in peace. A scientific writer has
said that the destruction of the individual
is unimportant, but the destruction OF the
type is crime. He was speaking of the
destruction OF the great aux. As matters
go now, unless some stringent measures
are taken, the birds OF Europe will in the
next century be as extinct as is now the
dinornis. The orn;thophil societies OF
France and Switzerland have more than
once written To me that unless birds be
protected in Italy they must perish all
over Europe, since so great a variety OF
races wing their way TO the south in win

ANTI-TONINE NOT TO BLAME.
Betrha NJ. Valentines Death Shown to be
Due to Other Causes.

New York. April Nv. II. Park, N.
D., assistant director of the hospital
Psychological laboratory of the board
of health of this city, has given out the
following statement as TO the death Of
Bertha NJ. Valentine of Brooklyn which
was supposed at first TO have been
caused by an injection of anti-toxine:

recently occurred in Brooklyn after the

can agents for the remedy. two walls of

that which was employed by DR.. kort-
right in the case alluded 10. l have
submitted both Walls to thorough tests
by injecting excessive doses into guinea
pigs and rabbits without producing in
the animals any GeleteriouS effects
whatever. Specimens from both walls
were also submitted 70 meteorological
tests and were found To be absolutely
free from living germs of any kind
These results. taken together with
the fact that the New York City board
Of health has employed the same kind
of anti-toNiue in a considerable number
of cases with only the best Of results
leads me TO express the opinion that
the unfortunate results which followed
its administration in the case referred
to cannot be attributed in any way To
the anti-toXine which was employed"

Mohammedan Tree Worship.

To certain degree tho inhabitants OF
all MohammgGan countries are worship
ers of the tree known as the date palm.
Ono of the prophets most supreme and
binding injunctions is, Honor thy pater-
nal aunt, the date palm, for in paradise was
it created and from the very heap Of dust
out of which Adam body was formed T"
The Mohamnedans also have "a tradi-
ton TO the effect that when Adam and
Eve were driven from the garden they
were allowed to- take with them a date
seed, and that from that single seed
sprang all the date trees now known. BY
some admirable providence the original
date seed was planted, and che tree grew
where The temple OF Mecca now stands,
and from lis trunk was hewn tho cradle
which often lulled the infant Mohammed
to sleep. The MohammecaIs declare that
all prayers are fulfilled which are made
with the knees pressing upon palm wood
or with the same kind of wood IN the
hand.--St Louis Republic.

CALLED TO REDEEM
NOTABLE ADDRESS ISSUED TO NEW
YORK REPUBLICANS.
Prominent Men in the Party Call Attention
City for the Republican Candidate for
Governor at the Fall Election as the
basis for InferrinS That That Party's
Reform Pledges Were Accepted i'm Good
Faith by Voters from Other PARTIES
What the Pledges Were.

New York. April Am address by
prominent Republicans to representa-
tive voters of New York state was is
sued today which is causing much stir
and interest among politicians of all
classes. The address is signed by Cor
nelius n. Bliss, Elihu Root, Joseph H.
Choate, Horace Porter, Legrande B.
Cannon. Samuel Thomas, William
Brookfield, Horace Russell, Edward
Mitchell, S. V. r. Cruger, Joel b. Err
hardt, c. H. T. Coils, George w. Lyon,
John r. Van Wormer, Henry L. How
land, Henry w Cannon, N. c. d. Bor-
den and John Claf1in.
The ground taken is that the vote for
governor in New York City at the re-
cent election was an index of the num-
Der of the new votes that came into the
Republican party at that time on both
state and local issues. Says the ad-
dress:
They saw that the Republican party
in this city had fully committed itself
10 the cause they had at heart (the up
building of municipal government on
non-partisan lines). and they believed
that the party in the state would sup
port and sustain its pledge.
ITO make good the promise made by
the party the city must pass the reform
measures which have been pending in
the legislature for some time past
These measures provide for: Re
organization of public schools. 3
Abolishing the present Tammany Hall
appointed police justices by creating
new police magistrates to be appointed
by the mayor. 3-Re-organiZation of
the police department.
An argument is offered to show the
Importance of retaining these New
York City voters in the Republican
party as the balance of power in the
state is involved.
