Cattle Feeding for New Mexico.

Colorado has no advantage as a cattle
feeding country except that more alfalfa
is grown there than in this territory,
and so it happens that sheep and cattle
are taken from New Mexico to fatten
before shipment to market. Cattle in
great numbers 90 from Mexico to Colo
RADIO for the same purpose. passing
through broad watered valleys of this
territory where the necessary feed could
be grown. The cattle feeding industry
thrives best in alfalfa sections so far
from great markets that freight ship
ments are too expensive for the crops to
be moved. In New Mexico there are
such localities. The great Rio Grande
and Pecos valleys, for instance, where
alfalfa is a staple crop. The climate of
New Mexico is much milder than that of
the Colorado valleys where feeding is
carried on. In fact sheep can not be
taken there until late in the spring.
They could be fattened in this part of
the country at an earlier date if suf1i-
cient forage were provided. Last year
300, 900 lambs were fed in Colorado and
vast numbers of cattle. The industry
is a source of great income to the Colo
RADIO farmers, providing a home market
for the forage crop at remunerative
prices. They grow the alfalfa; the
stockmen buy it in bulk or in pasture.
The cattle feeding industry is getting
pretty well established in Eddy and
Chaves counties, New Mexico, and should
be introduced in all of the watared val
leys. 1t pays the farmers and it pays
the stockmen, who no longer attempt to
market half starved range cattle when
they can put them into condition to
bring better figures.

New Mexico a Potato Country.

The farmers of the Sacramento NOUN
tain country have for many years sup
piled the residents of Ell Paso and towns
in southern New Mexico with II large
portion of the potatoes used. That sec
ton has in fact become famous as IL
potato growing region, although NJ at
tention has been paid to improving
varieties and keeping up the quality.
The immigration department Of the FL
Paso Il Northeastern Railway company
has determined to make potato culture
an industry as great as it is at Greedy.
Colo, and for this purpose has imported
a colony from the Colorado town, with
several car loads of horses and nipple
ments. A supply of seed potatoes from
Greedy has been taken to Alamogordo.
sufficient to plant the 800 acres to be
put under cultivation this season. Seed
will also be sold to all farmers who APP
ply, at cost price. The Texas market
alone consumes 10000 car loads of po-
tatoes annually and there will be no
trouble in selling the output at remun-
erative prices. Undoubtedly some 9th
err mountainous portions Of New Mexico
are adapted to potato culture and the
enterprising example of the Alamo
gordo people should be followed wher-
ever the tuber has been grown success
fully.

MORTGAGE SHARKS BEATEN.
washington Times.

Spectators who bought up mortgages
on Cuban plantations in the expectation
of foreclosing them before the planters
could find any means of escape will be
disappointed at the decision Of the presi-
dent, who has instructed Secretary Alger
to extend the time of payment two
years. Everybody else will recognize
the fairness and wisdom of this arrange
ment. 1t is impossible that the planters
should get in q crop and market it be-
fore eighteen months, and to allow the
foreclosure of the mortgages would be
to condemn much OF the property Of the
island to a long period of idleness. The
spectators have had no idea of working
the land, but have intended to gain pos
session and hold it until the establish
ment of a stable government should
make a good market for the property.
