HOG CHOLERA Durable.

Dubuque, Ia, Aug 1.-THE fact
that hog cholera is durable has again
been demonstrated on the farm of the
Dubuque Fruit and Produce company,
near this city. Under the direction of
Division Freight Agent Clemens, of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad, fifty-four out of sixty-two
hogs were treated and saved. There
seems to be no doubt that the hogs
had genuine attack Of cholera at
the time the treatment was commenc-
ed. Last year three million hogs died
in Iowa of this disease. The agent of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad company have been using
their remedy for over year and have
succeeded in saving fully 90 per cent.
of the hogs treated along the line of
their road. This has enabled the far
mers to save lot of money, for it is
well known that the sale of hogs
brings the farmers all the profits he
gets from raising stock.

FRUIT.

L
La the metropolitan markets of the vest
ern states New Mexlco's horticultural
products command from s to 10 per cent,
greater price than the California products,
owing to their size, richness in color and
peculiarly delicate flavor. In grapes, for
which the Rio Grande Valley is famous,
the Flame, Tokay, the Muscats, the Black
Handbags and similar choice varieties are
grown to perfection. In every quarter Of
the Territory are profitable orchards of APP
pies, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, nee
~tarines and all the small fruits indigenous
to the temperate and semi-tropic zone
SUGAR BEETS.
Experiments covering a period OF three
years demonstrate hat New Mexico excels
any other country or section in the world
in the quantity and quality Of sugar beets.
In 1896, in the Pecos Valley, some 1,400
acres or beets were harvested. The average
yield per acre was a little ever 16 tons,
and the average percentage of saccharine
matter was over 16, the highest record ever
made. The gross returns to the farmer
averaged SOTO per acre, and the cost OF
raising the crop was a little less than 500. 90
per acre. The almost perpetual sunshine
during the growing season is the cause OF
the extra percentage of sugar in the beets,
and the richness and adaptability of tho
soil accounts for the heavy yield.

DESIRABLE LANDS.

Thousands of acres of wild lands are to
be had by compliance with the U. 8. land
laws. much OF which is contiguous to water
and desirable for colonization purposes
when bitches and water storage reservoirs
are provided. The land grant question is no
longer a bug-a-boo in New Mexico and
through the action Of the land court, titles
to vast tracts bave been cleared up and
settled. Some millions of acres have been
confirmed by the courts to private owner
ship, while on the other hand an equal
acreage has been rejected SO far as the
grant claimants are concerned and the
land added to the public domain and is
subject to entry under the government
land laws.
