pROf. HACKERS TAIN.

During the course Of his talk at
the fair grounds last Thursday
Afternoon, Prof. T. Z. Hacker Of
the State experimental station, stat
ed that he has been keeping an
account with his cows, charging all
feed consumed by them, and all
work in caring for them, to each
COW. He has weighed all the milk
and tested it daily for the last eight
years, and as a result of his work
he ascertained it has cost him from
30 cents to SO cents per hundred
pounds to produce his milk, from 5
cents to IL cents per pound to pro-
duce butter. He has IS cows and
they have averaged $50 pounds Of
butter per year, the common COW
averaging 275 pounds and his dairy
bred cows averaging 400 pounds
per year, showing difference of
nearly 200 pounds in favor Of the
dairy bred cow
Prof, Hacker was asked the
question as to what the cows of this
country would average per year,
and he answered 80 pounds of
butter. In reply to the question as
to why his common COWS gave 125
pounds more butter than other COWS
he answered that the difference was
in the care and the feed. The COW
should be MIXED regularly, and
they should be made most contented
and comfortable at the milking time.
They should be fed regularly.
Prof. Hacker did not take up the
subject of feeding owing to lack
of time, but he remarked that by
proper care and feeding he could
keep his cows up to full flow of
milk from six to eight months of the
year. In speaking of testing cows
he said that the test would vary
from day to day, with the care and
feed. He could rot tell why, but he
stated this so the farmers would not
think that the buttermaker at the
creamery was cheating them, in
case their test was not the same
every month. Prof Hacker thought
that there was enough lost every
year in this county, by means Of i'm
p oper care and feeding, to run an
experiment station. When asked
how much to feed calves he recon-
mended that it not be more than
three pounds of milk twice a day;
four pounds was enough at the age
of one month. He feeds no grain
to his heifers.

Fusion Rum0rS.

The New Mexico Democratic papers
are rejoicing at the rumors that there
will be a fusion between some alleged
disgruntled Republicans and the Demo-
cratic party this fall in this territory,
and that the fusion will get away bag
and baggage, with the regular Kcpub-
lican organization and elect the dele
gate, the legislative assembly ard all
the county tickets. The voters have the
final say SO in the matter, and it may
be we'll to wait awhile and see what
there is to these rumors In the mean
time, the loyal Republicans of the terri
tory will pursue the even tenor of their
way, undaunted by specters and un-
moved by rumors. The territory Is more
prosperous than it has been since 1884;
the outlook for stock, crops and mining
is excellent; people are satisfied; the
territorial administration and about all
county administrations are clean and
honest; the laws are wholesome and are
being enforced by fair and good judges,
and there is nothing in reason and
founded on facts to complain of. This is
a pretty good record to go before the
people with in the coming campaign,
and the Republicans of New Mexico are
not at all afraid of the issue. More
over, the very fact of Democratic re-
joicing over a supposed fusion with
some supposed disconnected Republic
an faction shows how weak the Demo-
cratic party in New Mexico really is. 1t
is very weak, and considering it's record
ought to be weak.

Assessments Should Be Accurate.

IueIe Is no ueuyIng IL tnat the assess
mell vi property IN New Mexico IS no.
as careIuliy ny the assessors as l..
is III other commemorative. AS 4 rule
descriptions OF the properly
are lacking, and many who
should and could pay taxes escape tax
alton altogether. The territory and it's
people, especially honest taxpayers, are
the losers thereby. Arizona claims a
taxable valuation of 500, 900, 900, While
New Mexico, with more than double its
population, shows only $4,000, 900 OF
taxable property. Surely, New Mexico
is as wealthy as is Arizona. No wonder
the tax ate is high, and those who are
honestly assessed must bear a double
burden. The boards of county commits
sioners should hold assessors to their
duty and compel them to make an ac-
curate description of every piece Of rea
estate in the county, as we'll as insist
upon an honest assessment Of every
man who owns real estate or persona
property to a taxable amount.

The TILLMAN BILL.
1t Provides An Additional Appropriation
for Schools Of Mines.
(SOCOrrO Chieftain

looSolIo SlilCLlullL(
Hon. H. O. Bursum, who was in the
city the first of the week, stated that
he felt well satisfied that the school of
mines would receive the federal aid for
which it is asking. Three or four differ
ent bills were introduced, having the
same end in view. The M upon which
all parties finally compromised is
known as the Tillman bill. This differs
but little from the Depew bill, and in
its present form is perfectly satisfac-
tory to the trustees of the New Mexico
School of Mines. In it's original form
the Tillman bill contained one section
that was quite opposed to the interests
of New Mexico's school, and it was only
with considerable difficulty that Mr..
Bursum prevailed upon Senator Till
man to consent to the desired change.
That consent was finally won, however,
and Mr.. Bursum himself wrote out the
substitute for the Objectionable section
and saw it incorporated in the bill. It
has several times been suggested in
these columns that the interests of the
New Mexico School of Mines were not
being neglected,

A few weeks ago Sugar City, Colo,
existed only in name. To-day it is a
thriving little city. This week seventeen
passenger cars filled with prosperous
farmers arrived from Nebraska. The
men went to work at once to seed 1900
acres with sugar beets. All this was
effected by the erection of a beet sugar
plant at that point in the Arkansas
valley. Several hundred men will be
given employment in the mill. and with
the sugar beet growers and their fami-
lies make up a population of 1000
now living and prospecting where a year
ago only cactus and prairie grass grew.
1t is industries Of that nature that New
Mexico needs, and no inducement
should be considered too big and no la
Dor too hard to aid in the establish
ment of such industries.

FIRST CENSUS OF LIVE STOCK.
Special Enumerators Start On Work of Com.
mercial Value,

The work of taking the census of live
stock on the range has commenced in
n in nearly all the districts of the
west. Secretary Charles F. Martin, of
the National Live Stock Association, is
the special agent in charge of the whole
work, with headquarters in Denver.
This is the only branch of the census
work that is allowed to have head
quarters outside of Washington, and all
the work done there will be finally Ia
ken to Washington. The general plan
of collecting the live stock statistics is
a combination of work by the regular
enumerators and a number of special
agents. The enumerators will gather
the figures on farms and in cities, and
the special agents will look after the
range herds and ranches where the
number of cattle is 500 or over.
The census will show the number of
calves, steers one, two and three and
Owe years old; bulls, cows for milk and
COWS for breeding, heifers, etc. Sheep
VIII NC SldooliSu DIS idillD6, WclleIS,
rams, ewes. Horses will be classified as
colts and one year old and over. Goats
are not classified; neither are swine.
The schedules ask a large number of
questions regarding the amount of
range used, amount of land leased,
amount owned, amount irrigated, value,
crops, fences and many other impor-
tant questions. and the statistics that
will be thus obtained will be taken for
the first time in the history OF the
country
1t is the intention of the National
Live Stock Association to use the sta
tistics that will be obtained by this CEN
sus as a basis for future work. Plans
are being made for taking at least a
part of this census every year. 1t will
either be done by the government or by
the national association, and thus the
visible supply of live stock will be con-
stantly known from year to year.
