MINORITY REPORT.

The undersigned agrees to all of the
foregoing report except tho recommenda-
tions suggesting that prisoners be board
cd by the county; that the sheriff be put
on a salary. and that the liquor deputies
be paid for their services a salary or per
diem.
Under the statutes OF this State the
sheriff has always boarded the prisoners.
The time of the county commissioners OF
this county is necessarily largely devoted
to other matters. Tho sheriff has charge
of tho prisoners and he should have en-
tire charge of them for tine purpose OF
proper discipline. Sufficient figures or
facts are not presented in the majority re-
port to warrant the changes proposed,
and, from present information, it seems
TO be mad visable to so radically depart
from the policy of the State with refer
ence to the suggestions offered.
Part OF the Recommendation concerning
liquor deputies IA manifestly absurd.
liquor deputy Is simply deputy sheriff
performing special duties. No more reas-
on exists for his confirmation by the
board of county commissioners than APP
pears in the case of any other deputy
sheriff or other county officer. The sheriff
himself has authority and can perform
such services il he chooses He is the
executive officer of the county and should
have the absolute right to appoint his
subordinates.
The fee system, in 80 far as 1t relates to
liquor deputies, is the result OF general
law OF the State, passed by the friends of
the prohibitory law. The proper ad min
istration of the present law will produce
only good results. Strong reasons exist
for holding out an inducement to officers
to faithfully execute this law. And be-
fore a general statute, which has existed
for more than a quarter of century, Is
changed or repealed. it should clearly APP
pear that the people OF the State desire
such change. and that such change would
not impair the usefulness of the prohipi-
tory legislation OF the State.
Ii is not clear that such sweeping
amendments to or changes of the law, as
suggested, would produce satisfactory or
good results.

A Great Artesian Well Country.

Chaves and Eddy counties, in this ter

country over, for their wonderful spout
ing artesian wells. Hon. G. A. Richard-
son, of Roswell, tells of a most remark
able we'll in Chaves comfy, ten miles
south of Roswell, only a short distance
from the Pecos Valley railroad track,
that is destined to attract attention. 1t
is s44 feet deep, of four and one-half in
ches bore, and yields $50 gallons of
white sulphur water per minute, throw
ing the column 40 feet into the air. This
water has been analysed and is shown
to be better in curative properties than
the we'll known white sulphur springs of
Virginia. The well is the property of
G. S., McCarty. This discovery may re-
suit in establishing there a fashionable
mineral springs watering resort, bring
people from all parts of the United

HAWAIIAN RICE CULTURE
SPECIAL COMMISSIONER STUDIES
IT'S METHODS.
Compares Them With Those in Vogue
i'm Louisiana-There Everything is
Done by Machinery.

The special commissioner of the de-
partment of agriculture, 5. a. Knapp,
was very much interested during his
short stay while the Coptic was In port
in Hawaiian methods of rice culture.
Rice is a staple product in the part of
Louisiana Mr.. Knapp comes from, and
while in Japan and China he paid
much attention to the subject of rice.
Speaking of the subject he said: 81
notice that rice here is all hand plant
ed, and in fact nearly all the processes
of culture are hand processes. With
us in Louisiana everything possible is
done by machinery. In the first place
the land is thoroughly drained before
planting. To do this requires i'm some
cases pumping plants. Then the land
is plowed and exposed to the air and
put in perfect state of filth. Then
the rice is sown with patent drills
which put the seed in rows and at reg
ular intervals in the row. Then the
whole surface is rolled smooth. When
the rice is a few inches in height we
turn the water on. When the stalks
begin to turn yellow at the bottom we
| draw the water off again and by the
time it is ready to cut the land is firm
and we cut it with self binding reap.
ers, shock and stack it and thresh il
out with steam threshers, precisely as
we would wheat.
I'VE have one difficulty to contend
with. Our rice has a long, thin grain
and in threshing it some of these are
broken. In Japan l sought for a plum
per, fatter rice, one with more oil in il
and less brittle. l found car load OF
1t which has been shipped to Wash
ington. From there it will be distribut.
ed by the department of agriculture
If it proves suitable for our conditions
it will be d great thing"

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.

The bureau of agriculture requests
notice of the public to the following:
a very dangerous pest, says the Plan
ters' Monthly of Ceylon, has attacked
the banana plant in Australia, and a
shipment of eleven thousand punches
is reported to have been condemned on
arrival at Sydney, and was ordered to
be destroyed. The insect is stated to
be fly that attacks the fruit, and de-
strOys it's value as food
A report states that this pest has
appeared also in Fiji. If so, it is likely
to be imported in any fruit brought
from that group by the Colonial line of
steamers which touch here, and which
are usually supplied with bananas
grown south of the equator. While
there may be no immediate danger of
this pest being introduced in this way,
1t is we'll to be on our guard against
it.-From the Tropical Agriculturist.
