II FUNDING BILL.


Representative Bateman's funding
bill, which has passed both houses OF
the Territorial legislature at Santa Fe
and will become q law with the gov
ernor's signature, is accepted by som 9
to be as good as q fee and salary bill
In that the salary Of an official is NOT
worth anything when the expenses in
Cured by the county are in excess Of
the 4 per cent. limit.
This bill provides for the bonding Of
all outstanding and unpaid Indebted
ness OF counties, municipal corpora
tions, school distric 8 and boards Of
edscation. rs
The bill further provides that here-
after no county, board OF education,
school district, or municipal corpora
ton shall ever become indebted IN
any manner for any purpose whatever in
excess of the money actually collected
for any current year.
1t provides that all creditors and
officers, in tho event there is not a
sufficient amount of money collected
during q current year TO pay the
salaries and creditors, each fhall
receive pro rata his part of the money
actually collected, and in the event
there is not collected sufficient money
to pay in full all the officers and cred
itors, then the amount remaining un-
paid is void, with the exception that if
afterwards money for any current year
shall be collected, that the same shall
be applied pro rata to the payment of
the void Indebtedness.
The intent and purpose OF this law
is to restrict Counties, municipal cor
pora.ions and school districts, boards OF
education. etc., from going into debt,
and it will also bs seen that even If NO
fee and salary bill is passed, this year,
Mr.. Bateman's bill covers the ground,
and the officers of the county are res
tricted in their salaries to such amount
as the county or towns can pay, cash.
Other creditors are in the same boat,
aud, therefore, counties and towns can
not ran headlong into debt.
Representative U. s. Bateman, the
iHtroducer ard champion of this bill,
has most certainly made an enyiable
record for himself in this legislature
Not only In this bill, but in all others
that have come before this assembly.
he has voted honestly and conscier-
eiously.
Take all the measures that have been
passed upon, and 10 nearly every case,
his vote will be found recorded in The
right column, as his good judgment
has given him the power to see the
right. He is one OF the most industrious
members of the lower house and one of
the most courteous and the unit of
Eddy, Lincoln and Chavez, which he
has the honor to represent, may we'll
feel that the selection Of MIR. Batcman
was as wise a one as could have been
made. n
II Ia such LEGISLATORS az Mr.. Bateman
that will prove the salvation Of New
Mexico.

Recently some exhaustive expert
ments have been made at the New
York agricultural station at Geneva
to learn the relative value OF whole and
ground grain for laying hens. Tho re-
suits arc thus summarized:
First. Two pens of laying hens. one
Of large and the other of u small breed,
having ration the grain Of which was
whole ate during their second year
somewhat moro food at little greater
cost than two similar pens having ra-
tion in which half the grain was ground
and moistened.
Second. Cochin hens having tho
whole grain ration laid much better
than those having the ground grain, al
though neither lot laid at profitable
rate during the second year.
Third.-Leghorn hens having q ra.
tion in which the grain was whole CON
sumed on the average for two years over
20 per cent more food for the same egg
production than did similar hens hay
ing half the grain in their ration ground
and moistened. Tho hens having whole
grain bad on the average for two years
6.4 pounds Of water free food for every
pound of eggs produced. Those having
ground grain had on the average for the
two years 5.3 pounds of water free food
for every pound of eggs produced.

1t used to bo the habit of farmers to
kill the largest turkeys for market and
save for breeding somo Of the later
broods that had not got their growth
The idea was that with good feed and
care these would be rs large by spring as
those Matched early in the season. and
which get nearly their full growth BY
the holidays, But this is rarely tho case.
The late turkey, small at Christians,
becomes stunted and never Gsleins tho
size it would if Matched earlier. Breed
ing from these immature and stunted
turkeys runs out tho breed. Some expe-
rienced turkey breeders keep their lar
gest fowls for breeding and retain them
TIL they are 3 years old. The chicks
from these older turkeys are stronger
and less liable TO die off while young.
The young of the turkey is tender bird
at the best. 1t will pay to breed only
from birds that have attained good size
and full maturity American Guilt.

A great many farmers and poultry
men estimate their receipts not SO much
on what the hens are doing as on what
the eggs are bringing. Thoy overlook
tho fact that on the approach of moro
moderate weather less food aud more
eggs are the result. Eggs may go up to
90 cents n dozen when tho weather is So
verely cold, yet not hon may lay an
egg. The very reason that eggs become
high is because the hens arc not at work.
1t is certainly moro profitable to the
farmer to receive even two eggs week
from each ben when prices are lower
than have the hen not producing any
when eggs are high. Tho control of lay.
ing is not within the province of the
farmer. 1t is not natural for birds Of
any kind to lay in winter; hence the
laying Of eggs at that season il an ex.
ception and not the rule.

size and young rendered harder" and
selection" and careful breeding would
fix the type.
The Bronze turkey is the largest and
handsomest turkey in existence. The
plumage is of rich metallic bronze
that glistens in the sunlight like bur.
nished gold. In fact, itwould be difficult
to adequately describe the beauty of a
male bird in full plumage Full grown
males weigh from 30 to 40 pounds, and
we occasionally hear OF one reaching 80
pounds weight, and hens weigh from 1 8
to 90 pounds each. The standard weights
are: Adult cock, 30 pounds; yearling
cock, 32 pounds; cockerel, "a pounds;
hen. 20 pounds; pullot, 10 pounds
They are not fully mature until about
3 years old, and the breeding from
young, immature specimens is depeoat-
ed as likely TO produce weakly, inferior
young. By breeding from the we'll ma
tured, large, deep, "stocly" birds the
size and hardness will DO increased. 1t
is claimed by some writer's that birds
between b and 10 years old are the best
breeders, will produce tho best stock,
and tho ''ago limit" seems difficult to
determine.
Not little ink has been wasted upon
the question of szo in turkeys, sons
writers claiming that the Bronze is too
large to BIO quick seller in the market;
that tho public generally prefers a small
er sized bird, and that largo ones hayo
to be worked of to the hotel and restau-
rant trade. Public taste fuctuates, and
that which ia popular today may be IA
back number tomorrow, but one fact il
certain-tho general popularity of tur-
loy meat is steadily growing, and it is
safe to say that no poultry meat is finer
favored or more enjoyed by those fond
of good living.

A NICE STATE OF AFFAIRS
The Famous AyleSWorth-
SCriven Ditch Case Takes
Another Turn.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
NOW IN 1T.


If any taxpayer III Gratiot thought
when the board of supervisors attempted
to comply with the order of the United
States Circuit Court and spread a sutfi-
cient tax 10 cover the Judgment in the
Aylcsworth- Scriven county ditch suit,
that the case was ended and the eX-
pensc stopped, he was very much mis-
taken. Such case is too good Il one for
the lawyers to drop and new twist has
been given it by which the long suffer
ing taxpayer will have an additional
burden. Last Saturday, United States
Deputy Marshal Abel of Detroit ap
peared before the board of supervisors
at Ithaca, and proceeded to serve upon
each one citation directing him TO
appear before the United States Circuit
Court at Detroit, February LIST; and show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt in willfully failing to carry
ont the conditions of the writ of man
damus in assessing the sums required to
pay the Aylesworth Judgment.
The petition upon which the order
granting the citations is issued, says
that the board Of supervisors were will
fully and maliciously negligent, and
did their work in such way as TO rem
der it impossible to carry out the court 5
will. Some of the specific charges are
that no provision was made for credits
where taxes had been paid; that lands
not comprised within the original
assessment district were assessed; that
land included in the original assessment
were omitted from this that the assess
ment was not equitable; that the sum
of $4,000 and over was assessed instead
of 5000 as required by the writ and
that the board, knowing the difficulties
before it i'll carrying out the intent of
the court, took no counsel on the ques-
ton, nor asked aid Of the court, but
blundered ahead regardless Of the CON
sequences, and for these reasons and a
few other minor ones, they are invited
to show why their acts do not constitute
Il contempt
1t is hard to say just what defense the
board will make us it is understood that
the facts upon which the petition OF
Aylesworth's attorney was made was
based upon statement drawn up by an
Ithaca attorney and signed by the board
at the October session in which the
board admitted that it knew the assess
ment was not correctly made.

dead, and his death short time after
wards, left the murder still unavenged.
The confession caused considerable stir
ut the time and many seemed TO feel
that there was Il good deal of truth in it.
On Tuesday A. G.. Dudley, Lansing
attorney, came to this village and in
terviewed Il number of old settlers re-
garding the affair. a woman by the
name of Mrs Thornton now claims
that her sisters husband was murdered
in Alma at that time, and is working
for pension for the sisters children on
the ground that this was the man.
Owing TO the fact that all the old resi-
dents make affidavit that Boulton was
never married, her claims are evidently
not well founded.
