Hog Cholera

Later On Mr.. Louis spoke upon the
subject of hog cholera. 1t is true of
this as Of SO many other diseases, that
prevention is much better than cure.
1t is absolutely necessary for US to
prevent visitors entering our hog pens,
and equally so for US to cleanse our
shoes, clothing. etc., if we have visit
ed infested yards. The germs of this
disease are in great number They
are found in every part of the diseased
animal. in their urine, the litter under
them and even on the walls of their
houses. hence the ease with which they
become attached to our clothing.

Opening Session.

AS the Institute had been so we'll ad-
vertised, we were not surprised to see
a gathering so large that additional
chairs had to be brought in to the
Court House. 1t is a very hopeful
sign when we see the farmers so will
ling to avail themselves of the privi-
leges of these travelling schools,
which are given without money and
without price.
Sen. Thorpe gave a very pleasant
address of welcome. brief and right to
the point, and said that in voting for
appropriations there was none he
worked for with more pleasure than
the allowance for the Farmers Insti-
tute. since, he believed the time had
come to put intelligence into every
work and to combine brains with
muscles.
Supt. Gregg in replying. gave a
very compact review of the agricul-
tural progress of the last ten years.
Then We knew not how to select and
breed our stock nor how to handle
manure to the best advantage: We
set our milk in tin pans, tut now we
have the separator: then our butter
market was at home. but now it is in
Europe.
Following this Introductory talk,
Supt Gregg took up the subject of
corn culture as he had learned it from
Mr.. Louis, who came in later and con-
tinued the subject. The Superinten-
dents first point was that we were
weak without strong seed. Mr.. Louis.
he said, goes through his field early,
and takes the first ripe ears from the
stalks which bear two ears. These
are fire dried, since if the moisture is
left in, the kernels swell. shrink, freeze,
and lose their vitality. BE spoke OF
University corn No. 13 as good
ninety day corn for this vicinity. He
plows his land in the spring so that
it may be we'll settled back to its origi-
nal density by planting time. He thus
gets an early crop of weeds: which he
c an kill by cultivation, before the corn
comes up. He especially recommends
planter that will drop the kernels in
bunch instead of trailing them along
two Or three iEches. The keystone,
he says. is warranted to drop right.
In cultiv ating, Breeds Weeder is not
of much use in moist season. The
Tower Cultivator with its wide and
long blades has destroyed many wild
roses for him.

Seed Corn.

Mr.. Louis made his appearance just
in time to answer the important ques-
ton as to whether seed runs out on
the same land. Mr.. Louis has one
new variety obtained five years ago.
but his main seed is descended from
what he got in 1857. By selecting
the corn with the smallest cob. deep
est kernels. straightest rows and the
best filed ears. he gets corn that be-
comes better and better and earlier
maturing each year. He would only
change seed if he has been allowed to
run down Or get mixed and become un-
certain. Supt. Gregg considered it
quite compliment that Prof. Plumb,
of Indiana, had been writing to Mr..
Louis for his views on the saving of
seed. etc.
Mrs. Tilson spoke upon the subject
of shelter for poultry. Although not
SO much money is invested in this in
dustry as in swine and cattle, still she
cit. in the popular phrase, that she
had ''got every one of :em,'' because
no one ever saw farm without hens.
Beginning with the location and foun-
dation, she reared a model poultry
house, and awakened enough interest
to receive several questions. She
said that she considers the one thought
of having every thing in the house NOV
able, nests, perches and all, to aid in
house cleaning, is really worth so.
Fertilizers.
Mr. Raynor, OF Canada, spoke on
the subject of soil fertility. In Can
ada they used to move the barn when
the manure pile got too large. or
damp the latter into some bay. Now
the conditions are so reversed that
they are buying commercial fertilizers.
This dry climate is not suited to using
these especially manufactured fertili-
zers. hence our work here should be to
conserve what We hare. The three ele-

exhausted are nitrogen. phosphoric
acid and potash, of which the first is
the most necessary and expensive.
Since the air is four-fifths nitrogen.
any crop which draws nitrogen out of
the air aud puts it into the soil, should
be encouraged, as for instance. clover
and peas. If clover Is fed to stock
the latter do not Ike all the nitrogen
but return from one fourth to one
third of it to the soil in their manure,
and the roots of the clover which are
left in the soil are also especially rich
in this nitrogen. He certainly would
seed down some clover every three Or
four years, especially in this wheat
raising country because wheat draws
heavily on the nitrogen. By this time
the interest was greatly aroused, and
the audience and speakers had become
acquainted. so the morning session
closed with a goodly number of ques-
on manures, alfalfa, burning straw,
etc. in their relations to soil fertility.

stand that the location of this
stand has not yet been decided
upon. IF it could be located on
some vacant grass plat where
benches could be arranged, Ice

would rot only be of great assis-
lance to the band, but would
furnish an agreeable evening re-

Get Your Sanitarium, But With
out Government Aid.

$. Albright, mayor Of Albuquerque.
writes an open letter to II. b. Ferguson,
congressional delegate from New Mex
leo, approving of Mr.. Fergusson's bill to
give the territory, in the absence of
statehood, all the public lands which
statehood would bring with it.
But Mr.. Albright adds a condition, to
which the remaining parts of the terri
tory cannot agree. 1t is to ask congress
to make an ample grant of government
land for the purpose of establishing and
maintaining at the city of Albuquerque,
in New Mexico, a Sanitarium for con-
sumptives. His reasons are:
You are well aware that this-the cen
trail part of New MeXico-is the greatest
sanitary region for weak hinged persons
that exists in the known world. AS il
blessing to mankind, and for the benefit
of our citizens. it should be utilized; and
it would bring to the people of Albu-
querque more dollars and cents, in far
less time than all the enterprises thus
far proposed. And to do this We are
seeking government aid.
Here at home. it is understood that
Albuquerque is not by any means the
DeSt place 10f tne lOcatlOn OF Il sam
tarium. 1t is destitute of the advan-
tages of Santa Fe, Ration, Las Vegas.
and all the northern sections of New
Mexico: while it does not compare with
Deming, Silver City, Las Cruces and
many other places in the south.
Ii Albuquerque wants II sanitarium.

eminent aid, as Las Vegas has done and

Consumption Of Sugar Increasing.

In the year 1896. the consumption of
sugar in the United States amounted to
| 800, 0S6 tons; in the year just closed
2.O96. 1858 tons were used. an increase of
1856, TT tons in T. months time. This is
a remarkable showing of the consump-
tive capabilities of the country and
points to the possibility Of the beet
sugar industry developing into one of
the first enterprises of the land.
OF the sugar used last year the United
States produced 1885, $50 tons, as follows:
Beet sugar. Al, 347 tons; cane, $50. O09;
maple, 5000; sorghum, 300, leaving L.
760, 607 tons to be imported from foreign
countries. Of the amount imported
6l6,6 35 tons were made from beets.
Thus it appears that the country is de-
pendent upon foreigners for the princi-
cipal part of the sugar supply. but at
the same time there is an eve increas-
ing home supply with excellent pros
poets for larger gains in the near future.
In regard to the possible increase in
the domestic output. it is pertinent to
speak of New Mexico as one of the com
ing sugar supply depots of the country.
Papers of other states never tire in tell
ing of the amount of sugar contained in
beets raised within their borders, Civ
ing the percentage at from 1915 to 1875.
and predict great things for the farmers
and the business interests resulting from
the growing of beets and the manufact-
ure of sugar. If beets averaging in SUI
gar at the figures given can be made
profitable in other states and territories,
what can be said of the possibilities
ahead of New Mexico, where beets av-
eraging 2a.5 per cent sugar are the rule,
and it is within the range of possibility
to increase that average with the proper
cultivation.
The enormous tonnage OF sugar bought
from other countries insures a market
at home for all the sugar that can be
manufactured for years to come. The
people of Santa Fe are fortunately
situated for the purposes OF engaging
in the culture of beets and the making
of sugar as the results of last years
work have proved, and they will be
guilty of Grass neglect if they allow this
opportunity to build up the city in every
conceivable way to go by un%improved.
There never was and never will be a
better time to begin the work than the
present, and the businessmen and prop
ertv owners should take hold of the
project at once

Perverted Ideas OF Life.

At il meeting of the Young Womeh's
Christian association held in New York
last week. President Hall. of the Union
Theological seminary, delivered an ad-
dress in which he deplored the increas-
ing migration of young women from the
country villages and towns to large
cities, and attributed it to higher educa-
ton. President Hall said that he did
not want to appear as being opposed to
the higher education of women, but he
insisted that the prevailing restlcssness
and craving after literary and artistic
triumphs were due to extended latitude
in woman's sphere"
There is undoubtedly much truth in
the speakers remarks, but probably had
he given the subject Il little deeper
thought. or perhaps made Il little per-
sonal investigation he would have ar
rived at the conclusion that the restless
ness and craving for things nine times
out of ten unattainable come from false
ideas Of life entertained by the young
women. These ideas are not derived
from the liberal education now afforded
the gentlcr sex. but are the result of
contrasts. Girls born in humble circum-
stances naturally desire to better their
financial condition, and that once ac-
complished, the charms of a social life
make them ambitious of being recognized
as leaders, or at least members of some
swell set. This requires money, much
more than the possibilities of IA life
in the quiet of their village homes
can ever furnish, and they rush
to the cities in the search of for
tunes. Literature and the arts seem
to offer the easiest road to their desires,
and for that reason, having been care
fully educated, they choose those voca-
lions. In very many cases failure. dis
appointment and bitterness of spirit
result.
The sad feature of this almost univer-
sal desire to shine among the brilliant OF
the world is that it seriously threatens
the destruction of the American home.
Girls. imbued with the idea that they
are above making happy, humble homes,
give up all there Is in life for the chase
of the impossible, looking down upon
those who are content to accept life as
it is in reality.
The higher education of women, ought
to result in just a directly opposite con-
dition. and would. were it not for the
false ideas of life that have arisen from
the later day ideas of luxury and social
positions. A highly educated girl, if
her head be right, is better calculated to
make a happy home than an ignorant
one, and if the young women would
take up their share of home-making in
the proper spirit, higher education
would accomplish its true end, and there
would be not as many complaints of the
nature of the one made by DR.. Hall.
