A late issue Of the IisHver Post says
"A large tract Of country in the southern
part Of the state is to be opened up by a
new railroad. The railroad is to be con.
structed from Albuquerque, New Mex
leo, to Durango, Colorado, passing
through Pennington New Mexico
and tapping one Of the finest fruit
countries in the west The country
through which the new road is to be
constructed iS building up rapidly,
despite the drawbacks that have hitherto
existed in regard to transportation
and is destined to be one Of the most
densely populated portions OF ths west,
from its advantages Of climate aud soil.
John f. Hanna, Of Denver, is promoting
the new railroad and will leave 10 a few
days for Albuquerque to go over the
proposed route with a party OF New
York capitalists whom he interested in
tho scheme. A company OF Utah cop.

The Las Cruces irrigation ditch has been
dry since June 5, and already poorly cultiva-
ted lend Ia showing the effects Of the dry
weather. Since the ditch went dry there has
been one-fifth inch Of rain, and this came in
a sharp shower. On the College.farm an EFFORT
has been made to keep a fine dust-oover on
the titled lands, with very gratifying results
thus far The orchard Is gone over with the
slant-tooth harrow aud the Acme pulverizer
on alternate weeks, and the soil is kept In
the dnest tiith. This stirring OF the surface
soil not only makes as perfect a mulch az is
possible to maintain over so large an area,
but 10 provehts weed growth The dust
mulch checks evaporation and as the weeds
cOneume quite as much soil moisture as
other plants, freedom from weeds means
the saving OF much moisture for the trees.
The importance Of orchard tillage IL here
emphasized because IN the manifold duties
Of the farm, the orchard Sc most apt to be
neglected. Deep ttllage cannot be recon-
mended as 3 means OF saving the moisture OF
the soil The common herrow Is q most
excellent orchard implement, much more
useful II kept going, than the disc harrow.
II makes the'surface soil amer. and does
not cut IN so deep.
