Remedy was used. 1t counterscts anv

The electric wiring of the opera
house ia completed and the lights are

agement sees fit. Lighting the opera
house by electricity is much more con-
ven1ent for the stage manager and bet
ter for the audience as the light is
brighter and clearer.
The month of January has been q
very light month with the opera house
on account of the late booking of the
companies in the east but from the
present indications the month of Feb
ruary will be one of the liveliest ever
experienced in Ell Paso as some twenty
two shows are booked for the month.

IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Gov. PinErce's Plan for Municipal
Ownership of Detroit street Rail-
ways Given n Fatal Blow.

Lansing, Mich, July 6. = The Michi-
gan supreme court has decided the
case brought to test the validity of the
Mcleod law. which authorized the APP
pointment of the Detroit street railway
commission, whose object was the pur-
chase and municipal ownership and OPP
Grafton of street railways of Detroit.
The decision is that the law is uncon-
stitutional; that there is no such Of
flee as the Detroit street railway COM
mission that Gov. Pingree and the
other commissioners have no title
thereto and that judgment of custer
must be entered against them. The De-
troit plan for municipal ownership had
been temporarily blocked by the legal
difficulties in the way of holding a
special election on the question. BY
Wednesdays decision all authority is
taken from the commission.

FEEDING EAR CORN.
The New jersey Experiment station
Proves Unwisdom of the Practice
by Eloquent Figures.

The practice of feeding ear-corn to
cattle is very widespread. The impress
sion seems to be that what is lost in
the unused corn is made up in the saw
ing in labor and expense of grinding.
The practice of having hogs follow"
cattle originated in a desire to make
good part of this loss. The practice,
however, is not one that commends it.
self to men that practice advanced
methods in feeding. Even in the cases
of men that have their cattle followed
by hogs in summer time, the same prac-
tice of feeding corn on the cob is con-
1tinued during the winter and during all
other times, when the loss cannot GER
tainly be made good by the hogs. Ex-
periments have demonstrated that the
loss of good feeding material by the
practice is very large. The New Jersey
experiment station recently made
some tests that were strongly demon
strative of the unwisdom of this course.
One cow was fed ten pounds of corn on
the cob daily, of which 5.73 pounds APP
peared in the eXcrement, thus showing
that 57.3 per cent. went through the
stomachs of the COW without being AZ
fected by the digestive processes. II
must be taken into consideration that
there is loss otherwise than of the 57.3
per cent. of corn, for the animal has
had to use some force in the process of
passing this unused material through
the system. The station mentioned
figured out that in the case ola COW Civ
cob meal was $9.3s more than n ton of
ear corn. OF course, from this must be
deducted the cost of huskng and grind
ing ton of corn, but this would seldom
exceed half of the increased value
represented. Farmers RCview.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
business situation as Reported BY
Dun-Decrense I'm Small
Failures.

r. @. Dun e. Co.'s weekly review of trade
says: Failures of the first half of 1899
with banking and financial included as
In all other accounts published, were 4SSi.
with liabilities of $49.G64.661. Commercial
failures were 4,S53 with liabilities of si2,-
o62,933. OF which 1853 were manufac-
turing and s23,0l1 1854 were trading. In the
second quarter failures were the smallest
ever reported In that quarter OF rs years
Tor which quarterly reports have been
made by this agency. The average per
failure. N165, is the smallest ever known
IN any quarter; the average per firm in
business, N2.2O. and the ratio OF defaulted
liabilities to solvent exchanges, 62 cents
per 81 900, are both the smallest ever known
In any quarter. In 10 out of IA branches of
manufacturing. failures were smaller than
In the same quarter of of the previous
years, and in 10 out of IA branches. The
larger failures for 100000 or more were
only in trading for s22i.0sS less than a
tenth OF the smallest previous year. and
only Is in all for S2,4l7 $50, from fifth to
tenth of previous years. The decrease
In small failures is worth especial study.
Wheat declined three-eighths of a cent,
exports being but 2,250,02l bushels for the
week, -four included, against 2,6i5.l3o last
year, for both coasts, although western
receipts were 3,SGl 500 bushels. against 6lS,-
492 last year. If the farmers actually car
ried over 65,000,000 bushels or more, year
ago, after SIPS to 50 per bushel had been
paid at Chicago for some months, as one
farming journal estimates. they need the
education which they are getting. but the
claim still entirely fails to account for
their liberal spilling this year at lower
prices. Contradictory guesses and hopes
continue, but this year Is very hard on pre-
dictions. Corn exports are twice last
years, .70S bushels against l,2CS ,255 last
year for the week, and the price declined
a quarter.
THE volume Of business for the first
week of July has been SO per cent. greater
than last year. and 1919 per cent. greater
than. in 1892.
Scarcity and high prices OF iron and its
products can no longer be ,reckoned evil

Failures for the week have been 119
in the United States, against 229 last year.
and 20 In Canada, against II last year"

WITH THE BUSY BEES.

Nothing irritates bees so much as a
sudden Jar.
The best trees to set around the hive
are fruit trees.
1t is mistake to let n colony of bees
be overstockcd with drones.
Nothing is gained by feeding bees
when there are plenty of flowers.
When bees build comb in their nat
ural way an excess of drones is usually
produced.
The life of bee depends upon the
work it does. When it works its life is
shortened.
No drones are reared in a colony until
it becomes very strong and the combs
are well filled.
To produce large crop of honey bees
should not be allowed to swarm, but
kept together.
Bees have been known to swarm in
box hive when the hive was only
three-fourths full.
Each frame of comb in a hive should
occupy an inch and half of space, taxi
'hb Naic w Slh'c WIN 'NdclHtsS'
Pure white comb honey, with very
little propolis on the wood of the Sec
tions denotes that they were taken out
as soon as they were filled.
a swarm of bees hived upon a full set
of combs at the opening of the honey
season will fiji their hive full in week,
ready for surplus boxes.
At intervals during the summer,
when the bees cannot gather honey,
the queens quit laying and the strength
of the colony is curtailed.-St. Louis Re-

THE CHICKEN MITE.
There Is No Way to secure Permanent
Relief from the Pest, Except
Eternal Vigilance.

This exceedingly troublesome and
often fatal pest is the cause of many
complaints from those raising chick
ems. The attacks of the pest are not
confined to poultry, as it is often found
in pigeon houses and in the nests of 9TH
err birds about farm buildings. Where
they are numerous they often find
their way to animals confined in the in
tested buildings. The mites are noe
turnal in their habits. During the day
time they are generally in hiding about
the building, but at night they ADAM
don their hiding places and seek for
food. Chickens are often prevented
from sleeping at night, and not rarely
forced to abandon their eggs when set
ting. Instances have been recorded
where birds have been killed by this
mite.
There is no way to receive permanent
relief from the pest. The remedies
must be applied often and thoroughly,
since the insect is able to live long
time without eating. Cleanliness must
be observed. The hen manure should
be frequently removed, as it often
swarms with the pest. If the hen house
is light fumigation by sulphur is very
effective. TO prevent any accident by
fire, float the metal vessel containing
the burning sulphur in tub of water.
After several hours of fumigation. air
the building well before occupancy.
Pure kerosene is also to be recon-
mended. The interior of the building,
including perches, should be well
sprayed with it. After using kerosene
remember to air the building before in
Producing light.-P. j. Parrott, in
Farmers Voice.

The Hague, July G.-The American
delegates scored a great success
Wednesday in obtaining from the peace
conference a unanimous vote in favor
OF having the question of private prop
erty at sea in time of war dealt with
NJ special conference TO be summoned

had to be surmounted before this result
was reached.
Washington. July 6.-The news from
The Hague announcing the unanimous
vote Of the peace conference in favor Of
holding special conference hereafter
to discuss the freedom from seizure of
private property at sea in time of war
is source of genuine satisfaction 10
the administration. The American del
egates had more interest in this ques-
ton perhaps than any other before the
conference. There have been times
during sessions of the peace conference
at which it appeared that this subject
would be passed over without favor
able action, and the officials had almost
given up hope of anything in that di'
rection being accomplished.
