CHANGE IN CITY COURT RULES.
A committee of the city court bar,
SotiPoseu VI Attorneys j. L. doOundIt
William A. Wright and George E.
Beers, have made report on the re-
vision of the rules of the court.
They recommended rules that will be
similar to those of the court of COM
mon pleas and the superior court.
Copies of the rules will be printed and
sent to each lawyer, and in two weeks
a bar meeting will be held to act on
the rules
A new move was made in the mat
ter of drawing juries in the court. The
present practice is for either side in a
case to put their case to jury no mat
ter what the amount involved in the
suit Oftentimes juries have been call
ed in when the amount involved was
only Sc. The cost to the city for the
jury in these small cases have been
about 5000.
The suggested reform is to hold cases
until six or more have accumulated and
then fmpanel a jury. The judges favor
the plan and it will probably be ac-
cepted

In the current issue of the New Eng

table showing the potato crop acreage

estimate of 1897 In 1895 the potato
acreage of the whole country was 1885,
900, producing 245. 100000 bushels. This
year the acreage falls off to 2,7450oo.
and the crop to 174,116,00O bushels.
The Connecticut acreage of 1896 was
$4,000 acres with a yield of 2,530,000
bushels. This year the acreage is 49,
200, with yield of only 1,150,00o bush

1885, falls off this year to an estimated
yield Of sixty bushels.

Nearly all serious illnesses begin with

harvest has removed, and a poor soil be
supplied with those elements in which it
is deficient.
Nothing can be more certain than that
soil to which this restoration is not
fully made will gradually lose its faculty
to produce plants in normal quantity and
composition. Culture experiments with
artificial liquid manures have not been
carried so far with the beet as with some
other plants, and therefore the depend
ence between the composition of such
liquids and the evolution of the beet has
not yet been determined. The basis ia
also wanting wherein the direct working
of the manure on the beet can be pre-
dicted; and here is met the wellknown
difficulty of getting the manures into
those layers of the soil from which the
beet chiefly draws it's supplies of mineral
plant foods"

IMPORTANT WORK DELAYED.

The order of the encouragement at
Washington stopping all work on New
Mexico dams along the Rio Grande river,
and ordering the criminal prosecution of
all corporations engaged in the work, will
be serious blow to New Mexico. Her
greatest hope for future prosperity was
found in the possibility of constructing
large dams holding water enough to make
the irrigation of large tracts of land prac-
ticable and profitable. Small dams do
not accomplish the desired results, and it
is only tnrough big enterprises such as
those now under way along the Rio
Grande, which will make possible the re-
demption of large tracts, that New Mex-
leo can hope to derive any extensive bene-
fit. The ground upon which this work
inadequate. contention is set up that
the war department was not consulted in
the matter. 1t is true that no permission
has been obtained from the present ad-
ministration, but is also true that Hoke
Smith, acting as secretary of the interior
for the administration that has now
passed into history, granted all the permits
sion that the best legal talent in the west
deemed necessary for prosecution of the
work. Upon this permission the work
was commenced, and large sums of money
have already been expended in good faith.
Interference with construction at this
time would not only delay work of which
the territory stands in sore need, but
would discourage the investment of cap
ital in the future, and in many other ways
would very materially injure the interests
of New Mexico. No doubt an amicable
adjustment will be arrived at within a
few days, thus allowing the work to pro.
coed, consummation, which means a
great deal for the future of this territory .

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

Under the sub. heads of soil and fertili-
cation the farmers bulletin, recently is.
sued by the department of agriculture at
Washington, has some interesting things
to say concerning sugar beet culture,
which are reproduced for the benefit of
thoee interested in this industry:
"The sugar beet does not require a
particular kind of soil for its proper pro-
dustion. In general, soils are described
for practical purposes as clayeY, sandy,
loamy, or alluvial soils; all of these soils
will produce beets. The black prairie
soils also have been found, with proper
cultivation, to produce excellent beets.
Generally, the least favorable soils for
the sugar beet are stiff clay, which is
cultivated with difficulty and readily
packs under the influence of hard rains
and hot suns, and virgin soils or those
especially rich in organic matter or aka
line salts. Perhaps the best soil may be
described as sandy loan; soil contain
ing happy equilibrium between organic
matters, clay and sand.
"Two kinds of fertilizers are mployed;
stall manure from the farm, and artificial
manure generally known as commercial
fertilizers. For general purposes, stall
manure is desirable. II should be APP
piled, in a we'll rotted condition, in the
autumn before the ground lie plowed.
The quantity per acre depends, of course,
on She fertility of the soil; but in any case
it is not best to apply very heavy
dressing, 10 Door soils il il hest to an.
ply the fertilizer for several years in sue
cession, rather than to apply enough at
once to bring it up to the required state
of fertility. Too oopious an application
of stall manure is apt to produce over
growth in the beets, which makes them i'll
suited to the manufacture of sugar. II
the fertilizer be applied in an unrotted
condition, it is apt to seriously AZURE the
crop in case of dry weather.
"Of commercial fertilizers three Glasses
are employed containing, respectively,
nitrogen, phosphoric arid, and potash.
In some instances these three elements
are found combined in the same CONNER
cial fertilizer. heterogeneous manure
should be applied with great care to 81.
gar beets. 1t tends to produce very
heavy growth Of the beet, and thus to
diminish its content of sugar. Potash

great freedom TO beet fields; 10 general
they act much better in conjunction than
when applied separately.

This incident is worthy of more than
passing notice inasmuch as it is an indi-
cation that the wounds of the late war are
fast healing. The time may and proba-
bly, will come when the association Of
Army of the Republic will be united in
one great organization of patriots. 1t is
eminently right and proper that it should
be so. No good can come from keeping
alive the cruel animosities that rent the
country 10 twain between 1851 and 1866

IT is difficult to see any excuse for liti-
CATION or even contention in the Rio
Grande dam construction matter. Full
rights we're granted the defendants in the
case by Secretary Hoke Smith. Now comes
the War department with claim that the
dam corporations we're acting without
authority, and have thus laid themselves
liable to criminal prosecution. There is
a screw loose somewhere, no doubt, but
upon general summing up, it is safe
enough to assume that the dam people
will come out all right. The character
and standing Of the men engaged in this
great work is sufficient guarantee that
they would not be found rushing into a
proposition of this kind with their money,
without first having been advised as to
the legality OF the proposition.

PROSPEROUS DAYS.

The number of new interpretations that
have taken place during the past month
in and for the territory of New Mexico, is
one of the most encouraging indications
of returning prosperity. The number of
new companies organized for the develop
ment of territorial industries during the
past 80 days exceed the number organized
for the same period in 1896 by about so
per cent. This alone is ample evidence
of improved conditions all around. Every
thing points to mining boom in the ter
ritory of such proportions as will remind
the old timers of the flush days that have
gone, when everybody was making money.
As matter of fact the boom is already
on, and the way to keep it going is for
everybody to do little something in the
matter of advertising our resources
throughout the eastern states. One does
not req uire capital to write to friends and
relatives of the splendid advantages in
seeker and the man with money to invest
in mines, stock or agriculture. Every
little helps. Tell your friends of our oil
mate, and the great chances here for max
ing happy homes. The great need of the
territory is immigration, and this fact
cannot be insisted upon too Otter. New
Mexico has homes for the million, almost
for the asking. Her fertile valleys are
waiting for the hand of the agriculturist
and the horticulturist. Her mountains
are mighty storehouses of the precious
metals, and will yield their untold riches
at the magic touch of capital.
