IN the New Mexican OF Monday was
printed an interview with Senator
Duncan regarding the proposed taxa
tion OF foreign building aud loan as
sOclations. The principal reason he
gives for the proposed Law b the
need Of more money to be raised BY
taxation for various purposes, includ.
ing schools. His argument is that the
associations take a great deal OF.
money out Of the territory and con.
seQuantly should be heavily taxed.
He seems to think that the asfocia-
tlons make q profit on this money,
while Is an actual fact II is the men,
mostly men OF small means, who con-
tribute this money, that make the
proat. The proposed Law does not
take auything from the association
itself. but does take II from the clti-

HEALTHY BODIES.
How Girls May Develop Their
Muscles and Brains At the
same Time.

A prominent physician, in a recent
lecture on physical education in girls
schools, said that the evolution OF the
race has imposed extra brain service
upon woman, as well as a new physical
strain. and that the body should be edu-
Gated to meet this. He said that one OF
the best exercises for girls was to make
ak deep breathings and expirations
each morning before dressing, and
that there should also be half an hours
athletic exercise daily. This would ex-
pand the chest and increase the area
of breathing space, as well as improve
the figure.
WelI-poised shoulders and an erect
carriage go far toward making girl
look pretty. Many comparatively
plain girl creates a much more pleasing
impression by these means than do
some others who are better endowed
as to face. Very often a bad carriage
comes of pure laziness. 1t is too much

"such rest" to stand on one leg, with
the other bent and curved into all sorts

In ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


During August and September there
Is usually dry period when nature is
preparing all trees and shrubs for the
change from growing to dormant
condition. This is an important time
for the grower. If the orchard and
garden through neglect have been left
during June and July to care for them
selves vigilance should be exercised an
maintaining an even Development
both in roots and limbs. A neglected
condition may be remedied by now
ing the grass and weeds before the
seed is ripe, and piling it about the
stalks as far out as the roots extend.
Al this time also a careful watch
should be kept for the tent caterpillar
and borer. Do not forget the woody
aphis and white grub, which are the
most destructive during the hot, dry
season, when trees and plants are
struggling to maintain the growth
There is more injury to the orchard
and garden from these two insects
than most growers realize. In fact thu
woody aphis and white grub pave tn
way for the first stages of some Of tn
fatal diseases and insect attacks OF
the orchard.

IN THE POULTRY YARD.
Many Fail I'm the Poultry Busfness
Because of Haste and Lack
of Experience.

A lot of people rush into the poultry
business without any capital or ex-
perience, and the consequence is-fail-
ure. They read of the success of 9TH
ers, and imagine they can do az
well, without considering for one mo-
ment that they are not equipped for
the venture So many people start out
on scale that is nothing short OF
ridiculous. We have known men to
quit jobs and start in the poultry busi-
ness with hardly enough money on
hand to pay for one months provl-
sions, expecting to make a living out
of tie business from the start. To the
amateur poultryman we have this to
say. Do not quit your job and expect
to make a living with poultry the first
year; for if you do, you are certain
at the end of the year to be among
those who swear that there is nothing
in keeping chickens.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on a large scale is to start
with only few, learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care
of without GROWING the first year.
If. at the end of the year, you are sat
isfied to go ahead and have enough
money on hand to get everything ready
for larger breeding flock, as well as
to carry you through the year for the
necessaries of life, then you might quit
your job and start in; but remember,
that this first year is what counts.
You learn whether you have taste
for the business and get pretty good
idea of raising poultry. The second
wear Won should be able to produce a
fcck large enough to enable you to &c
into it more heavily, and with ordinary
success you should make good living
of five hundred hens
We would strongly advise, when
starting to be governed by the follow
ing rules: First, start with the best tt
be had; second, decide what you desire
to breed for-eggs or meat; third, ge'
one variety and stay with it. II yo'
breed only one variety You can soon

Thought.

There are two or three people in Chi
cago who would be much interested
lust now if some one would enlighten
them as to how much instruction upon
general matters is given at the univer'
sity of Oxford, England. These CHI
cagoans. whose minds doubtless are
benighted, have, however, lurking
suspicion that Oxonian teaching must
he specific rather than broad. They are
willing to be undeceived, but perhaps
even graduates from the great English
university will acknowledge that their
thoughts have some basis for exist
ence.
An Englishman of rank and money
visited Chicago recently, and with him
came his private secretary, young
fresh-faced, jolly fellow just out OF Ok
ford university. The secretary brought
letters of introduction to Chicago man
from a well-known London actor and
an equally prominent man OF letters.
The Englishman came direct to Chi
cago, making no stop in New York.
The secretary called upon the Chicago
man to whom he had letters and who
did a little entertaining, inviting three
city friends to meet the private secre'
tary at luncheon at noted restaurant
II was after the cigars were lighted
that the conversation turned upon
things American. The Chicagoan'
knew that the Britons were credited

For the white grub apply wood ashes,

tree. Use from one pint up to one
half bushel of ashes or lime to the
tree, and from one-half pint to one
gallon of salt. There is more danger
of getting too little than too much OF
