In some of the highlands Of New Mex
leo complaint is heard of focks of sheep
suffering for lack of pasturage, which
is scant because there has been lack of
winter and spring rains. But in most
sections there has been no loss from this
cause. Probably much of the trouble
comes from the great increase of flocks
causing owners to 60 beyond the safety
line in seeking %pasturage, to places
where usually sheep are not driven.
Perhaps more suffering results from an
unusually cold winter leaving the ami
mails with a small stock OF vitality. The
portions Of the territory that seem to be
suffering in this respect are small, and
no complaint is noted in the country
press from counties devoted mainly to
cattle raising. The farming sections
report that crops are mostly planted
and doing well, though the season has
been backward. There is every indica-
ton that stockmen. farmers and orchard
lists of New Mexico will this wear have
more than the average annual output.
Although there has been some damage
to peaches, this happens in some locali-
ty or other every year and the crop will
probably average up pretty well, while
apples as usual can be counted upon to
be all right. One pleasant fact is that
whatever the territory has to ship to
market will bring remunerative prices
in these prosperous times.

Edward Atkinson Is one of those Pc
culiar people who believes it is his duty
to reform the world. Only a few years
ago he represented himself as one of the
foremost financial statisticians of the
world. He has succeeded in making
himself an object of contempt the world
over, Just as all agitators do.
His last effort is to incite mutiny
among the American soldiers In the

its share of this. Mr.. Atkinson Is not

Ely Casting.

In your angling notes, says a writer
in the London Standard. you mention
the capture of a swallow by a salmon
fisher in the Esk, the bird being hook
ed foul, and remark that, though the
story is true, the incredulous will find
some difficulty in swallowing 1t. The
following story is true, and still more
remarkable. / was fishing on the
Willy, on the Boyton Manor water, in
Wiltshire, some years ago. In casting
across l got hung up" on tree on
the further bank, and in trying to dis
engage my line broke off the greater
part of the cast and fly. which were
left in a tangled condition. quite visi-
BILE on the tree. While considering how
to recover 1t, / noticed a swallow how
ering close by in a curious way, and
then saw that it has taken the fly,
quill gnat, and, after few struggles,
hung there suspended with beak open.
/ was not wading, and could not get
over the river without going a long
way round, so there l had to leave
the poor bird.

periences that afternoon. The swal-

cast wrapped round and round Its

hooked another swallow some feet

shock had broken my top. l olsen

OWL couRTsHIPs
Show Devotion Rarely Met Among

Very funny 1t is, from the human
point Of view, to witness the love-mak-
ing Of q couple of owls on moonlight
night, as they sit together on the cop
ing OF an old wall, or on the horiZontai
limb OF some giant OF the forest Peren-
ed on the same bough, or the same wall
or ruin, the lady owl. though usually
much bigger and stronger than her
mate looks the picture of demure coy
ness, If a little excited inwardly, like
a girl at her first ball.
But the male owl, says the Pail NAL
Magazine, is very much in earnest; TOT
a moment or two he remains quite
still, then he puffs out all his feathers.

horrible to relate. from the depths OF
his interior he instantly brings up a
half-digested mouse; and, although she
is full of similar rodents and stag
beetles as she can comfortably hold,
she opens her mouth and accepts the

and thanks. Then. when the dainty
morsel has been disposed of. they ca

or two, and then sit closely pressed to
each others side while the process of
assimilation is perfected. after which
they simultaneously fit away into the
moonlight on noiseless wing in search

Not only do the owls guard each
other with devotion that is rarely met
with among more favored creatures,
they positively idolize their ill-favored
offspring, for whose sake they willing

Nearly Every State In the Union
Has Some Schools Devoted More or

1t used to be the rule that when a
man wasn't fit for anything else he
was considered good enough to be a
farmer, that III he hadn't brains enough
to master military tactics or the in
tricacies of the law or Of medicine or
Of theology, and was utterly lacking in
creative ability, then his proper sphere
of usefulness was the farm. And In
those days even the gentleman" farm
er was a man Of inferior standing, and
he was made to feel his insignificance
whenever he came In contact with the
superior persons who ruled the State
and made or expounded its laws. So
ciety spoke of him as ''gawk, and
his sons and daughters were country
pumpkins" But all this has changed,
and is destined to still further change.
Science, which has done so much for
the world at large, has taken the farm
er In hand and Is investing the man
and his work with the dignity and
standing that are his of right The
masses are being made to realize what
they have known dimly all along but
never fully appreciated-that 1t is the
farmer who feeds them, and that he
Is more necessary to them than they
are to him; that without him works
great and small would come to a stop
and the people of all the earth be re-
duced to state of sayagery and can
nibalism.
Science Is bringing not only the pub
lie TO the realization of the import
ance of the farmer but the farmer
himself to an appreciation of the I'M
portance of his work and of the neces-
sity of fitting himself for 1t by study
ing nature and inducing her by scien-
tiflc means rather than by haphazard
to yield her store. Formerly he farm
err would tell you when" without
knowing "why." Experiment showed
him that rotation in crops made his
land produce better and last longer,
but he couldn't tell natures reason for
IL, nor explain the thousand other
seeming myteries of the soil. Science
has done and is doing that for him. 1t
is experimenting for him day in and
day out the year around, and teaching
him the why and the wherefore. Uncle
Sam is backing science in this matter,
and the farmer is getting the benefit
without cost. The farmer learns from
the bulletins that are sent out by the
Department of Agriculture and all
over the land the farmers sons and
daughters are taking courses In agri-
