TEN ACRES
What a Man Can Do In New Mexico
With a Small Tract OF Land

Governor Miguel Otero, of New
Mexico, has been making q careful
study OF the great western question of
irrigation. He is great believer in
it, and in q report TO the secretary of
the interior, under the caption of "Ten
acres.-What man can do with
small tract of land under irrigation"
the governor says:
"Sweet potatoes of most excellent
quality yield abundautly in all the val
leys of the central and southern por-
lions OF the territory, and constitute
one of the best crops that the farmer
can raise, because they enable him to
realize good return for his seasons
work from q very small tract of land,
which is An important consideration to
farmer anywhere, but especially 90 to
one in On irrigation country. The soil
and climate of this country seem to be
peculiarly adapted to the growth of the
sweet potato, the quality of the product
Is fully equal to that of the famous pO-
tatoes of New Jersey, and a fair aver
age crop will give from 900 to 1000
bushels to the acre with proper cultivs-
ton. They never cell for less in the fall
than 81 bushel, and those that are
kept into the winter usually bring as
much as 81. From this it will be seen
that one acre cultivated to sweet pota-
toes in New Mexico will yield the
farmer as much money as he can hope
to realize in q good year from 80 acres
of corn or wheat in Kansas or Nebras-
ka, and since the results are to be
it will be apparent to anyone that the
irriR alton farmer. although he may not
be able to cultivate fields as broad as
those of his neig b Dor in the rain belt,
has better prospect of success and q
decidedly better chance of bsuk &C.
count at the end of the year.
1.-The onion fs another product that
seems to be peculiarly adapted to this
section of the country: The large
greater perfection in the south west
than anywhere else in the United
States, affords one of the most
profitable crops that can be
grown in this territory, and re-
quires irrigation to bring it to perfec-
tiOn. On account of its beautiful silvery
color aud it's peculiar mild flavor, this
onion finds ready sale in any part of the
country. and always brings the highest
market price. The yield is about 500
bushels to the acre, under proper Guilt
Walton, and the price ct home ranges
from 81 to $3.50 per bushel.
\"Celery and asparagus are also arti-
Giles which are specially adapted to the
soil and climate of this country, and at
tain here degree of excellence rare
ly found in such articles grown else
where.
"The New Mexico celery is far supe-
rior to that grown in California. and is
pronounced by all who try it fully
equal in all respects to the famous
Kalamazoo product, which is noted
throughout the country for its
superiority.
':And when 1t comes to asparagus,
New Mexico can fairly claim to beat
the world for nowhere else on the
American continent is there raised as
paraRus which can at all compare with
that grown in the valley of central and
southern New MeXico.n

How A Nickel Is Divided.

At the Fifteenth street power house
on Saturday night, at the first meeting
of the Metropolitan Street RailwSy
association since the threatened strike,
reports the New York Tribune, Presi-
dent Vreeland delivered an address to
his men concerning railroad manage
ment and operation, in which occurred
an interesting history of a nickel. He
said:
ITO the minds of people like US. en-
gagged in business, the financial foun-
dation of which is a 6ve-cent piece, the
mention of millions of dollars really
conveys only dim idea. There is q
certain point at which the mind loses
grasp of the Significance of figures; it's
like talking of the vast interstellar
spaces. We know they are great, and
we let 1t 60 At that. When it comes to
five cents, though, that is right In our
line, and in order to bring within the
understanding of every one just how
each five-cent piece you men collect
is divided, have made the following
analysis from the company's records to
show where we stsnd with the capt.
talists who own the property we
operate. You will observe that they
do not get much the best of US on
the divide, for this is how the nickel is
distributed:
