Is IT RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Mediciuaa2

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevar, N. G.
1t may be a question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any Of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the mar
ket, yet as a preventive of suffering we
feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for 20
years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases a dose OF this remedy
would save hours of suffering while q
physician is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that If a
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Rem
edy were kept Oh hand and administered
at the inception of IN attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. Atleast this has
been our experience during the past 20
years. For sale by A. G. Ireland.

The writer maintains that the true
creation of a half dozen reservoirs, if
you please, distributed throughout the
length of the valley. This theory is
based on the fact that at one time or
another during each year enough water
passes down the valley to irrigate all
the land. 1t can not be stored in any
one reservoir of practicable dimensions,
and if it could it would be folly to bottle
it up in the middle of the valley, where
it at nee becomes useless for the land
above, and more than sufficient for that
below.
Ell Paso should lave a reservoir of her
own, certainly-a proposition no one has
ever opposed-but not so at the expense
Of every other point above.
The ideal and attainable condition for
the water supply of the Rio Grande
valley will be a chain of storage reser-
voirs beginning as high up as may be
necessary and extending below Ell Paso.
Such a system would distribute the
storage in the places and proportions
needed. Such control and equitable dis
tribution Of the water as would follow
would in a few seasons convert the
whole valley into one vast storage res
ervoir; the duty of water for irrigation
would rise as the land became saturated
and a much reduced quantity would be-
come necessary; the flow Of the river
would become more equitable, and if it
were a question Of navigation the latter
would inevitably improve rather than
impair, as has been insincerely con-
tended. The Ell Paso dam would be but
n link in the chain.
If she is willing to do nothing more
than create that one link let her refrain
from the creation Of others by other
means. So far from being a menace, adj
ditional reservoirs above will be so
much added guarantee that Ell Paso will
have a great storage that will eventu-
ally serve her.

THE ERA OF The COW.
Her Supremacy Today in That Garden Spot
of Agriculture" the Middle West.
(Harper's Weekly.)

Ten years ago in the middle west an
average horse would bring the price of
at least a half dozen average COWS. To-
day, side by side, an average cow is
worth more than an average horse. In
deed, a span of good horses is often sold
for the price of al average COW.
So, ten years ago, if the average far
mer took to market a bushel of oats, he
received for it as much money as he
commonly got for five or six pounds of
butter. To-day a single pound of his
butter. To-day a single pound of his
butter-he having meantime learned the
secret of making it goods worth two
bushels of oats. Similarly the wheat
market has declined, so hat the farm
er no longer cares to raise that cereal,
though he might do so did he choose in
many regions where fifteen years ago
the crop failed. Then it seemed an aw-
full calamity that wheat failed to grow
abundantly. Now no one greatly cares
whether it will grow or not, for the
greater value Of the cows contributions
to the economy of farming has been
demonstrated. Fifteen years ago the
prairies were great waving seas of
wheat fields, irterspersed at most with
Insignificant and apologetic pastures,
in which grazed a few neglected cattle.
To-day the same p~rairies are checkered
with great rolling fields Of timothy and
gigantic stretches of rustling corn
fields, and, in the abundant pastures Of
literal thousands Of rolling hills, sleek
cattle, to which all these other things
are tributary, by their suggestive even
if unwilling presence, announce their
victory and their supremacy.
Whatever the future may hold for the
middle west, the present era in that
garden spot Of agriculture" is the ear
of the cow.
