IRRIGATION NOTES.

While Sup-lrr1gatlOn saves from loss Of water by evaporation it is found that the loss by draining to strata be- low the crop root levsl is greater than that by evaporation. Also that the lateral distribution is very unequal, it being too, wet near the pipes and the side penetration of the water too slew and not at all uniform, even when the ground is carefully prepared by sup posed thorough cultivation
 Where irrigation. is to be done upon a large scale it is the concensus of opinion by those familiar with all methods that the best results are ob- tained by surface application in fur rows.
 Early and seasonable irrigation is of great benefit to psaches, enabling the trees to sustain the fruit, while the quality of the crop is not lessened.
 Figs without irrigation are superior to those which are irrigated, is the re- suit of California experience. For best success it is recommended to plant them in pockets of rich soil upon the mesa.
 Experience in the Salt River valley shows the best results with all berries when water is copiously furnished.
 In watering the orchard regulate the stream so that the flow will reach only to the extreme point desired to be ir- rigated. By so doing none of the sol- uble ingredients of the soil are carried away.
 Irrigate immediately after bloom to aid in the setting of the fruit, and af- ter the fruit is gathered to aid in set ting the fruit buds for the coming year.
 Deciduous fruits in California with frequent and thorough cultivation and without irrigation do better than those with irrigation which are not culti- vated.
 In California citrus trees are given six thousand gallons and upwards of water per tree per annum.

closely, as when nests full of eggs are found and gathered in, too many are stale and thus injure the reputation of the seller.
 We find a good many poultrymen who object to feeding rolled oats dry. But there is little danger if fed in any form for an excellent bone and muscle forming food
 Success in poultry culture is no nap hazard affair, says one, but is secured only by regular methods, and the clos CT the application and more careful and earnest the effort, the greater be- comes the success.
 The farmers of the southwest would do well to devote their spare time to thoroughbred poultry. It will yield them 50 per cent on their investment and will be a source of much pleasure.

PEEPS, CLUCKs AND GROWS.

Remember the Main" thing in poul- try business Is strict attention to de tail work.
 Early maturity for market purposes makes the best showing in the sum- mary of profits.
 Too much corn for the chickens will bring on indigestion and liver troubles.
 Inspect nests of the setting hens ire quently in order that the lice may not secure a home.
 Take care of the chicks and the old birds will take care of themselves.
 If you have nothing but dunghills on the farm kill off the roosters and grade up the flock with thoroughbreds.
 Young stock should not be allowed to get out on the wet grass early in the morning Cold and dampness will cause great loss of stock.
 Chicks running with a mother hen affected with scaly legs will contract the disease. Dampen the feathers and legs of the hsn with kerosene and lard mixed.
 Farmers should watch their hens

CHICKEN DISPENSARY.

Another cure for gapes, simple and easily tried, Is a teaspoonful of turpen- tine in close box. Let the chicks in hale the fumes fifteen or twenty min utes.
 If your chicks have leg weakness it is surely the result of bad feeding Give them a variety of all obtainable and do not forget plenty of sharp grit

EXPORTING EGGS.

According to the New York Sun the exportation of eggs from one country to another. has become a large item of international commerce The case of Denmark is given as an example. Her trade in eggs with foreign countries, chiefly with Scotland and England, has grown enormously. Twenty years ago the annual Danish export of eggs was 600,000, now it is reckoned at 110,OOO,O 900. In the same period the importation of eggs into England has increased tenfold, but only a part of the whole number come from Den mark. The two other egg exporting countries from which England draws her supplies being Holland and

MINES AND MINING.

RulIefin No. 8. Mines and Mining, issued by the territorial bureau or am- migration. has just made its first ap- pearance.- It is uniform in size with the two that preceded it, which were devoted to climate, mineral springs, and schools, and to agriculture and horticulture respectively.
 Bulletin No contains vast num- ber of facts of interest to the prospec- tor or investor and will prove invalu- able to any one who desires to secure a good general idea Of the wonderful mineral wealth of New Mexico.
 Some startling figures reargding the extent and richness of our mineral yielding territory are given by J. D. Bone, we'll known mining expert who has personally inspected majority of the better known mining camps of the territory.
 Among the general subje-ts handled are Mining Districts" (this territory now has some eighty-f1ve distinct dis tricts), "The Great Mineral Belt" New Mexico God Fields" "Placers," Quartz Mining" Turquoise Mines" "An Undsve1oped Field Favorable Climatic Conditions Contrast be- tween Past and Present, 'The Law in Regard to the Location of Lode Claims, Tunnels and Placers." "Facili ties for Mining" New Mexico's Coal Production" and many others.
 Some few Of the territory's we'll known mining districts are especially mentioned sld among which are de scribed in detail are nciosd the placer deposits of San Juan, Rio Arriba, Taos, Santa Fe, Sierra and ether counties, and the famous districts of Red River, La Belle, Amizette, Ba1dy, Ute Greek, Chama River. Moreno Val ley, Hematite, Elizabeth own, San Pe- dro, Golden, Dolores, Cochiti. Hell Canon, Magda1ena, Kelly, Cooney, Black Range, Cooks Peak, Animas, Apache. Hillsboro, Lake Valley, Per cha, Kingston, Santa Rita de Signal, Gold Hill, Central, Black Hawk, Ca ballo Mountains, San Diego Mountain, White Oaks, Bonito, Jicarilla, Ladrone Mountain, and others.
 Some of the most noted producing mines also come in for individual com mant-the Aztec mine in the Ute Creek district which has a record of nearly million in gold; one of the turquoise mines near Cerrillos, which paid mil lion and a half per year since 1898, single stones having brought as high a price as s6000; the Graphic mine in Socorro county, ore from which pro duces a carload of bullion every twen- ty-four hours, for example.
 In conclusion the bulletin says: "Jt is no exaggeration to affirm that in point of natural resources none of the Rocky mountain states exeeed New Mexico. In addition to gold, silver, copper. lead and zinc, coal Anthracite and bituminous) fire clay, alum, su1- phur, salt, gypsum, onyx and marble are found in large deposits. New Mexico supplies the world with tur- quoise.'
 These bulletins are for free d:stribu- tion and will be mailed to any one, up- on application to Hon. Lorion Miller. secretary bureau Of immigration, Albu- querque, N. M.-A1buquerque Demo c-at.

suNFLowER SEED FOR POULTRY.

A few who seem to be interested for some reason in booming sunfiower seed as a poultry feed, are consistently claiming everything for it as an egg producer, says Southern Cultivator. Our own experience with it is that it is not good feed for this purpose, and analysIs of it shows that it is es- sentially a fattening feed and not such ons as would promote the pro- duction of eggs if fed in large quanti- ties.
 The sunflower seed is excellent in moderate quantities no one well post ed will deny. It is one of the best feeds that can be given poultry in the fall when the fowls are moulting, and as it happens to ripen about that time, it comes at a season when it is most useful
 At other times in the year an occas- sional feed of sunfower seed answers in the place of oil meal and similar feeds, and makes variety which lay ing hens like. These seeds can be produced so cheaply that every poultry keeper should raise a supply for his own use, as they do well in odd cor ners, and grow under very little en- cOuragement-

shows a disposition to get back te
the Democratic system of electine
officials instead of appointing
them. We have been drifting the
other way for years, and nearly
all the officers have been filled by
appointment. Only short time
ago even the police jurors were
appointed by the Governor; aud
even to-day large majority of the
office-holders in the State are
named by the Governor or the
Legislature, and the people have
no say in their selection. The ex-
cuse given by this undemocratic
course has been that the large H.
literate and purchasable negro
vote it was unsafe to submit many
Offices to the choice of the people.
Moreover, there has existed of late
in Louisiana very undemocratic
distrust of the people. With a
suffrage provision which gets rid
of the negro vote, the only objec-
tion to letting the people have
some say in the choice of their
officials falls to the ground.
This is the view that the con-
vention seems to take of the mat
ter, and it is showing disposition
to make the appointive Offices cleo
tive again. Thus many of the
judeships, now appointive or cho-
sen by the Legislature, are made
elective.
The committee on city affeirs
yesterday showed a disposition to
return to the elective system for
many city Offices. Judge Monroe
wanted the people to choose, not
the Governor to appoint, the
members of the various boards
and commissions having control
over municipal affairs; and this
matter is still under consideration.
The committee decided in favor of
the assessors elective.
1t seems to us that If there is an
office where the advisability of po-1
pular election may be questioned
it is that of assessor. If the asses
sor takes the stump and appeals
to the popular vote for support, it
is generally on platform Of tow
and reduced assessment. That is |
the experience in Chicago and
nearly all other places where the
assessors are elected, and the re.
suit has been the steady decline of
the assessed value oS the city un-
til, in Chicago, it is now barely
one-sixth of its true value, while
The tax rate has risen above 10
per cent. The assessor who COM
mands the warmest popular sup
port is naturally the man who lets
he voters off most easily by re-
lucing their assessments and tax
