PURE DAIRY PRODUCTS.

Some suggestions for the suppression
and prevention of bovine tuberculosis
are made in report submitted to Score.
tary Morton, by DR. Theobald Smith,
chief of the division of animal pathology,
agricultural department. The report,
according to Bradstreets, says that the
essential requirement is the removal of
the diseased animals, as only in them do
the bacilli multiply; that the public
health requires the prompt and complete
destruction of all the infected animals,
however mild the disease, or if not de-
stroyed, the rejection of their milk, and
that the situation certainly demands
most rigid periodical inspection of all
animals furnishing milk to consumers,
the prompt removal of all suspicious
cases, and, above all, more thorough
control of the dairy in the interests OF
public sanitation"

STATEHOOD.

For several months past there has been
very little published in the newspapers
OF the territory concerning statehood for
New Mexico. This would seem to indi-
cate that those who have been loudest and
most active in their advocacy of present
admission have become convinced that it
would be better to defer the assumption
of the responsibilities, expense and dan
gers incident TO state government,
There has been much eloquence OK pended
on this subject in favor of admission and
many of our most prominent and brainy
men have advocated such step, but Of
late these appear to have changed their
opinions as to it and the Eagle is pleased
to believe that the cause has been aban.
doned for the present. When the terri.
tory has reached position which war
rants its admission to the union of states
We shall be found supporting the meas
ure, but that position has not yet been
reached. So let US remain territory a
while longer.-White Oaks Eagle.
Our esteemed and able contem porary
should remember that there is time for
all things. We take it that the sentiment
in favor of New Mexico's admission as
state is even stronger now than IL has
ever been, for many who have hitherto
opposed it, or felt lukewarm concerning
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1895-08-20

the issue, because of the increase in cost
of conducting state government, have
seen substantial values added to our tax
able wealth during the past year, with the
prospects most roseate for the future,
and such state of things will serve to
intensity the interest and make many new
converts for the cause of independent
citizenship when the time shall have once
more come around for inaugurating
afresh this all-importnnt movement.
The Eagle has not, we fear, read cor
rectly the signs of the times. 1t would
be folly, now that congress and every
thing else about the national capital is at
the height of summer vacation, to waste
breath and time and good Fabers in dis
cussion of this subject, particularly as the
foremost questions now agitat1ng the
country, and the issue of which we shall
know a great deal more about later on,
have direct bearing upon New Mexico's
admission or rejection as state.
With the assembling of congress in De-
cember, and the flattering prospects that
free coinage will have practically demon
strated its certainty of ultimate victory
by the first of the coming year, we believe
there will be- an awakening all along the
line of the statehood movement. When
that time comes the New MEXICAN hopes
the White Oaks Eagle will be with us and
IN the front ranks battling for chat jus
tice which tricky politicians have so long
denied deserving people.

THERE is just one point in the United
States where four of the grand sub. d.

point it would be possible for one to sit
in chair with one of its four legs in New
Mexico, one in Colorado, another in Utah
and the fourth in Arizona, or he might
SO adjust his four fingers to the unique
situation there presented as to have one

A Reasonable View.

The Las Cruces Democrat states that
the Pecos valley papers desire a branch
experiment station "solely because II
would direct part of the college funds
to the pockets of the Pecos valley PEG.
ple."
AS the amount appropriated for the
branch station is but $1,000 per year,
and most of that would go to the pro-
lessor who would be..sent from Las Cruces,
the accusation is trivial, especially as a
Pecos valley man gave $4,000 worth of
Roswell land for the experiment sta
ton.
The Argus has desired the branch sta
ton under the hope that it would be in
the hands of competent men, who would
learn by experiments with wide range
of products, what are best suited to the
soil, and the best methods of growing the
same. There are many new farmers, as
we'll as older ones, coming to this region
who would be guided by the experience
of such an observer, as all of them do not
have money for general experiments
The fewer mistakes that are made, the
sooner will agriculture be more generally
profitable, and the entire territory be
benefited Valley Argus.

affirm or deny the rumor that he has de
cided to resign, it is nevertheless true that,
without he changes his present determi-
nation, he will retire from the cabinet
some time in April. What his reasons are
for taking this step cannot be stated. 1t
is known, however, that he never had a
taste for public office, and now that the
affairs of the department are in very ex
cellent condition it is understood that he
much prefers to return to Buffalo and re-
