Called Roo. fru,. Trees.

E. N. Berry, Otero county's or
chard inspector, called at the
TRIBuNE office Thursday and left
specimen pear tree afflicted with a
cancerous or fungus growth at the
roots, usually called "galled root. :"
Although the tree is four years old
it is only little over four feet in
heignth, and the fungus growth is
nearly as large as bushel basket.
The fungus growth may not have
been any larger than small pea
when the tree was set out, but it
absorbed nearly all of the sap and
thus stunted the growth of the
La Junta tribune., 1899-05-20

tree. The inspectors have con-
demned large number OF these
trees this spring, throwing out over
goo of them in shipment of 1900.
The nursery men have been much
exasperated at their action and will
probably be very careful in the
future not to ship 'galled root"
trees to Colorado. The tree may
be seen at this office.

that works on one special set of organs

Although sweet to the taste it contains
no sugar which often disagrces with weak

From. the above table it will be
seen that warrants in excess OF the
appropriations have been issued in
the water plant fuel and Incidental
funds, and the salary, electric light
and fire department funds to the
total amount of S425,I9. Morally
the town is obligated to pay these
excess warrants, but whether it is
legally is question. The audi
tor of the state of Colorado has alb
solutely refused to issue warrants
in state affairs in excess of the
amounts appropriated to the vari-
GUS funds, as he deems it the
safest course to pursue. In order
to avoid complications it would be
wise for the town officials to be
equally as discreet.
The mayor and the city council
have a financial problem before
them for solution that is worthy of
their best endeavors. From the
above statement of the towns S
financial condition it would seem
that the Inauguration OF a policy Of
retrenchment is absolutely essen
tial for our financial we'll being.
Instead OF increasing the number
Of city officials, buying new fire
apparatus and thoroughbred horses
to feed at the public crib, there
would be at least semblance OF
wisdom in an effort to devise ways
and means to reduce expenses to
somewhere near the estimated
amount of revenue to be derived.

The experts at the agricultural
college are OF the opinion that
pasturing on alfalfa is not safe,
but they think that the danger
from bloat can be largely over
come and the loss reduced to at
least not more than FIVE per cent.
w. II. Ney, of Fowler, who
seems to have had the best success,
gives the following account OF his
experience and methods:
"The best way to guard against
bloat in pasturing sheep on alfalfa
is to feed the sheep on any dry
feed just before turning them on
the alfalfa and turn them in while
full and leave them there night and
day. BY this method the losses
will be light and success assured,
Alfalfa pasture has great fattening
qualities and early lambs having
the run OF alfalfa fields during the
summer months will make much
heavier garns than lambs running
on the open range and depending
on native grass. We could show
lambs the fall OF 1895 that were fit
for any market and had tasted no
grain since the last OF April. Sheep
that run on alfalfa need little or no
grain to fit them for market and
this makes quite saving.
"The Arkansas valley is well
adapted to sheep farming. Hay is
cheap for winter feeding and the
necessary grain can be raised here
as cheaply as anywhere. For
either breeding or fattening sheep
i know of no place to equal the
Arkansas Valley"

man system is the eye. All through
the Bible God eulogizes it; 534
times does that book speak OF the
eye The eye is one of the organs
most liable to render life miser-
able failure, loathsome burden.
Loss OF sight is the very king Of
terrors, while an impairment OF
vision is a ghastly source OF anx-
iety, of constant dread, OF sicken-
ing mental worry, to say never a
word OF acute physical anguish.
The defective eye always makes
itself manifest in one way or an
other. Headache, blurring, wink
ing, trembling, dizziness, inflam
nation, granulation, smarting, all
OF which and many other symptoms
should be taken as warning of
untold approaching misery. If

Friday evening last the volunteer

portunity to respond to an alarm
and the experience gained will result

mistakes made. A bonfire was
started in the real of the saloons on
Main street and about eight O'Clock
several shots were fired as a signal
of fire. Not all the members of the
department heard the alarm. but u
good portion responded and the
engine was hauled to the creek bank
in a very few moments. Meantime
the hose company had strung out
their hose, but when prepared to
couple, found that the hose had been
placed on the cart the wrong way
and the end which should have been
at the engine was at the fire, aud
vice versa. By the time the entire
hose was reversed the fire was nearly
out. This IL the departments first
response and the mistake may be
overlooked.
