JUDGE M0RRLSON'S OPINION
HE Talks of HIS Visit to Yashingt0
and the Probabilities as to the Ap-
p0intmenG of n Governor for
New Mckee,

Hon. A, l.. Morrison, who returned on
Thursday from Washington and Chicago,
was seen by representative of the New
MEXICAN on yesterday. Ina converse
tion he stated that about six weeks ago he
withdrew his application for appoint
ment as governor Of New Mexico and
filed an application for appointment
as collector of internal revenue for
the New Mexico and Arizona district,
having concluded that the latter office ls
more desirable.
He is of the opinion that President Nc
Kinley is right in acting deliberately in
appointments and that this administra-
tion will prove one of the best in the his
tory of the country.
| The four years tenure of office will be
observed, so he was informed, and ap-
plicants for Office need not expect con-
sideration of their cases until the present
incumbents have served four years.
He believes that Hon. Geo. H. Wallace,
who is still in Washington, will be ap.
pointed governor of New Mexico and
thereafter appointments will follow as
soon as vacancies occur. He does not
believe that the tariff question or the
tariff bill pending in congress has any.
thing to do with the New Mexico appoint
ments, but thinks the president may
take up and make the gubernatorial ap
pointment at any time.
There are several New Mexicans il
Washington yet, among them, Edward 3
Hobart, who, it is reported, is now acandi
date for governor, VIM. M. Berger, who
is candidate for secretary of the terri
tory, M. A. Otero, who wants to be U. s
marshal or secretary, Hugh N. Price, who
is candidate for governor, Sheriff Bur
sum, Major Llewellyn and one or two
others.
He expresses himself perfectly salts
fed with the situation, has gained l:
pounds during the past two months ant
loses no sleep over the chances of hi
pceferment for office.

II Is Needed In the Production of Really
First-Class Butter.
IL was Il person who came from Dem
mark who first advanced the startling
theory that microbes are required to
make first-class butter. This theory,
which was received with scorn, is now
advocated by many scientific men, and
many creameries now invest money in
the culture" In Iowa IS creameries
are using it. Experiments have been
made with over 100 different kinds of
germs, but it was not until No. Al was
discovered that satisfactory results
were reached. A conclusive trial was
recently made in Connecticut cream
cry. June butter, as is well known. is
in flavor the best produced during the
year, so that the effect of bacillus No.
Al upon pure butter was most interest,"
ing. Early in the month two large
watts of cream were collected. One of
these was inoculated, the other was
not. They stood in the same room, Mt
the same temperature, for the same
length of time, and were subsequently,
cliurned. Both lots Of cream produced
excellent butter, but No. Al had taste
and odor decidedly superior to that
made without it. A large number of
persons tasted it, and no one hesitated
in deciding that No. Al made the su,,
pcrior quality.
The first attempt at an estimate at
bacteria in butter was made in Mn
nich in 1891. 1t was found that there
are about 100000 in grain.-Chicago

THE ROAD scRAPER.

It Has Awakened the Spirit of Improve
mcnt In Many Diarricta
In our anxiety to promote good farm
ing there is no danger that the subject
of good roads will be overlooked. When
man gets the spirit in him to improve
his farm, his crops and his live stock.
the spirit ofprogress cannot be checked
there, but necessarily it must be eN-
tended to his buildings and fences.
Who ever knew farmer to erect IA
substantial fence along the highway
who would not also cut down the un-
sIGhtly bushes along the margin, see
where drainage is needed and how the
roadway could be improved, and then
resolve thnt it shall be done at the first
opportunity? A good farmer is always
good-roads advocate.
just now many things are conspiring
to assure good roads in the near future.
A few years ago the road-scraper on
wheels came into vogue. A law was
enacted to permit few adjoining road
districts to unite and purchase a
scraper to be used in common. as it is
an expensive piece of machinery, and
rarely a single district could afford 10
purchase one alone. Now these ma
| chimes are common all over the state,
and through their means road improve
ment has made rapid strides. 1t is no.
necessary to describe all their good
