ADVICE TO

Proper and Advantageous Way to Sell
Farm Products.
The Independent shippers of grain to
Chicago begin to realize that they have
a common obstacle to ~surmount. The
professional grain shippers over a
dozen big states tributary to Chicago
number an army. Many Of them have
grown rich from the farmers wagons
by a Is years stay at their stations.
Some of them have private banks,
some have bought farms, all are pros
porous. This house has not a word
against these people. 1t is not doing
business with them. 1t is doing bust
ness with an army Of farmers. 1t has
given producers the best practical help
since the railroads made the big central
markets possible. If 10000 farmers
have discovered that they have no
further use for 1000 country
grain buyers, they have a per-
feet right to go past them, fill their
own cars, and ship their own grain.
Many years ago farmers discovered
that the old reaper and the old double
shovel one-horse corn c~ultlvator were
too slow. They left them in the fence
corners and bought improved machln~

They met the demand with self-bind-

Time Piece Wound Once in Forty Years

Time Piece Wound Once in Forty Years.
Two years ago a South Chicago jew
eler did some figuring. He calculated
he would in all probability live forty
years. He knew it takes at least two
minutes to wind the ordinary house
clock. At that rate he figured he would
during the rest of his life. spend about
sixty days Of his valuable time wind
ing the clock, to say nothing of time
and temper lost through forgetting it.
Then he decided to make a clock thai
would have to be wound but once in
1orty years. He spent his odd minutes
at the task, and has succeeded in pro-
ducing a wonderful piece Of mechanism
the only one Of it's kind, he claims,
in the world. This forty-year tirle-
piece is fifteen inches in diameter, and
weighs seVenty-five pounds. The move
ment is geared sc that the barrel

When this wheel has made ffty-siX
revolutions somebody will have to give
the key seventeen turns. The clock
Will then be wound up for another
forty years. The first wheel from the

rate OF one turn a year. The dial-piate

CAPTAIN Hart Convicted.

The case of the territory against
Thomas B. Hart for the killing of B. F..
Gillian, last winter, was tried at Aztec
this week, says the san Juan Times,
Attorney Crist being assisted in the
prosecution by Mr.. Miller of Du-
range, and the defense being repre-
sented by johnson & Gerry of Durango.
The Ereponderance of testimony was
damaging to the defendant, and the case
was given to the Jury Wednesday even
ing. After dellberating few hours q
verdict of guilty in the second degree
was returned, and sentence by Judge
Laughlin was passed Thursday morning,
it being three years hard labor in the
penitentiary.
The trouble which resulted in the
trugedy for which Hart was convicted was
trivial one, being dispute as to the
right of Gillian and Savoie to let a GER
tain piece of pasturage. The fight which
ensued took place in Hart's corral, a few
miles north of Aztec. Both Gillian and
Hart we're armed with revolvers and both
discharged them with deadly intent.
Savole, Gillam's partner, who was un-
armed, was wounded in the abdomen,
Hart was slightly wounded and Gillian
was killed. As to who was the aggressor

to be Hart,

OCTOBER WEATHER.
The Average Temperature, Precipita-

Ee for S3 Years Past.

As tomorrow is the first of October, and
really the first of the fall months, it may
be of some interest to the readers of the
New MEXICAN to know something of the
kind of weather that may be expected.
The following data, covering period
of 20 years, have been compiled from the
weather bureau records in the city, and
gives an idea of what October may be
like:
Temperature. Mean or normal tenn
perature, 81 degrees; the warmest month
was that of 1878, with an average of 55
degrees; the coldest month was that of
1880, with an average of 4S degrees; the
highest temperature was IS degrees on
October s, 1888; the lowest temperature
was Is degrees ON October 16, 1880. :.
Average date on which first "killing"
frost occurred in autumn, October 10.
Precipitation.-Aversge for the month,
ITO inches; average number of days with
.01 of an inch or more, 5; the greatest
monthly precipitation was 4.19 inches in
1881; in 1898 there was no precipitation;
the greatest amount of precipitation re-
corded in any "a consecutive hours was
l 26 inches on October and 5, 1895; the
greatest amount of snowfall recorded in
anv "a hours (record extending to winter
of 1SS4-5 only was inches on October

SUGAR BEET IN ERFECTION
The Santa Fe Valley Easily Leads the
world as Producer of Sweetness
from sugar Beet.

The sugar beet has certainly reached its
highest state of perfection in the Santa
Fe valley as witness the following,
Mr. S. Fl. Day, Santa Fe. N. Nj.
Mesilla Park, N. M, Sept. 27.-Dear
Sir: The sample of sugar beets submit
ted by You came duly to hand, and upon
analysis gave the following results: Per
cent of sugar in juice, 1865. We could
not analyze the beets separately as the
sample was entirely two small, SO the re-
suit report is an average of the two
beets. This is the highest percentage
that we have caught yet this season. The
beets were somewhat wilted, however, and
would probably have run somewhat more
IN fresh condition, but they are GER
tainly good beets. We are just sending
out some instructions in regard to sam
pling, etc., to those to whom seed was
sent. l am inclosing some of these forms
herewith and when you send in more
samples please fill out the blanks en-
closed, and follow the instructions as
closely as you can. Yours truly,
ARTHUR Goss.
Evidently the proper place to locate a
sugar beet plant is at Santa Fe, where
three crops of sugar beets are obtainable
every year.

A MINERAL REVIVAL.
New MexicO's Mines Are Again Com
ing to the Front, and Attracting
Widespread Attention.

It may be going to far too say that New
Mexico has mining boom, says the Den
yer Republican, but it is not exaggera-
tion to assert that it's mineral interests
are enjoying revival. More attention
is being given at present to the develop
ment of gold properties in the northern
part of the territory than at any other
with the remainder of the country by the
Santa Fe railroad.
Shortly after the Santa Fe was built in
to the territory there was very general
search for minera', but at that time 1t did
not take the special form of hunt for
gold. Silver still commanded a good
price and silver deposits were as valua-
BILE as those of gold. The prospectors OF
that era went in by the railroad. Many
of them came from the east or at least
from Kansas and Nebraska. They were
not all experienced men who had been
trained in mining. 1t is not strange that
their search was not fruitful of much
good and that little development followed.
Following that there was period of
what might be called stegnation in New
Mexico mining. There was development
in few camps, but there was little activi-
ty in prospecting, aud the product of the
territory exhibited little if any increase.
The present revival has come to break
the stagnation, and it has been brought
about by conditions which promises to
make it permanent if the ore bodies dis
covered prove valuable. The prospect
ors as rule have gone from Colorado
They are experienced men, and they know
how to look for gold They are paying
little attention to silver, and when they
find good gold bodies they know that
they can afford to develop them, for the
price OF gold will surely be maintained.
The result is that several new camps
have been established along the northern
border of the territory, and gradually
prospectors seem to be working their
way southwark into the interior. These
men are turning their attention to some
Of the old camps, and there is reason to
believe that in some cases they viii reveal
the presence of ore In profitable quanti-
ties. Development is added by the in
PRODUCTION Of machinery, and II process
adapted to the treatment of the low grade
ores already discovered is found, there is
little doubt that New Mexico's yield Of
gold will be greatly increased.

Purchase Of Cuba in Contemplation.

There is rumor afloat in Official cir
cles that, if true, is most important. This
is nothing less than that this government
is about to make overtures to Spain for
the purchase of Cuba. However this may
be, it has long been known 30 the world
at large that the value of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as remedy for consti-
patton, malaria, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
kidney complaint and nervousness is be-
yond all price. A wneglassful before
meals imparts hearty relish for the food,
and corresponding dose before retiring
contributes to sound repose. No medi-
cinal stimulant on the market ever re-
ceived such strong professional indorse-
ment as the Bitters. 1t is most genial
tonic, affording strength to all who use
it. Not only in this country, but in many
foreign lands, it is an admitted specific
and preventive. As safeguard against
all disease Of malarial type it is par
ticularly valuable.
