DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE.
Good Work Done for Farmers
by Mckinley.

The diseases of farm animals have re-
ceived special study in the Department
of Agriculture in the last four years.
Nearly 100000 doses OF blaekleg vac
cine have been distributed among the
farmers and cattle owners in the infected
districts, with the result that the mortal
ity among the young cattle in the infect
ed districts has been reduced from ten to
fifteen per cent annually to one-half OF
enc per cent. In the case OF sheep the
gasoline process for exterminating para
sites has met with great success. In hog
cholera and swine plague seventy TO
eighty per cent of treated animals have
been saved.
Butter, Eggs and Pork.
Encouraging results have been reached
in the shipment OF butter and eggs to
England and also remote points in Asia.
The inspection of pork advanced from
%, 900.SS0 in 1896 to los, 92S, 1875 in 1890.
or nearly 800 per cent.
Aiming to create home supply Of
chicory, the department has seen the inn
ports fall from a value of $225, 229.31 in
1896 to $13.470 in 1899.
In seed testing and in seed and plant
introduction a large number Of improved
products have been added to American
cultivation. notably resistant alfalfa
from Turkestan, drought-resisting
grass from southern Russia, and several
cereals adapted to the arid regions.
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
AS soon as Porto Rico began to be Of
special interest an exhaustive report was
prepared on the commerce Of that island.
setting forth in the fullest possible man
ner the character Of the trade carried on
with the several foreign countries. and
especially with the United States.
Later report of 100 pages was pub
lished regarding the trade of the Philip
pines, embracing practically all the avail
able statistics on the subject that could
be eollated from the official import and
export returns of the various countries
enjoying commercial intercourse with the
islands.
Owing to the scarcity OF reliable data
relative to Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines the preparation Of the re-
ports on these former Spanish posses
sions required vast amount Of research.
Grasses and Forage Plants.
Experiments with grasses and forage
plants have been vigorously prosecuted
during the past three years. These ex-
periments are necessary in order that
ranchers and farmers may be informed
of the kinds suitable for their respective
districts. After these preliminary facts
are determined the promising varieties
can be recommended and adopted with
ont further and useless expenditure Of
time and money.

pOSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Rural Free Delivery a Benefit
to Farmers.

Rural free mail delivery is the most
striking extension of postal facilities
brought about in the last four years. On
June 1, 1900, there were 1900 rural SER
vices in actual operation, and 1900 APP
plications for an extension OF the sys-
tenn then in process OF establishment.
The appropriations for the rural free
delivery service have been increased from
$4,000 in the fiscal year 1878 to $780,
600 in 1889, then TO $4,000 in 1892
1900, and lastly to S1,7j0,000 for the
present fiscal year 1900-190l.
Three years experience has shown
that in well-selected rural districts the
mails can be distributed TO the domiciles
of the addresses or in boxes placed with
in reasonable distance of the farmers
home at some crossroad or other conven-
lent spot at cost per piece not exceed
ing the free delivery in many cities.
Done by the Republicans.
1t was a Republican administration
that conceived and executed the idea of
Frightening the home of the farmer, ed
ucating his children, increasing the value
Of his land. compelling the improvement
Of the roads, and bringing him news Of
the markets and OF the weather, SO as to
secure him better price for his crops
by delivering his daily mail to him on
his farm.

REPRESENTATIVE SINCE THE
IDEA WAS FIRST BROACHED OF
CARRYING THE MAILS INTO THE
RURAL DISTRICTS HAS DECI.AR-
ED AGAINST 1T. THE FORTY

IN THE CLEVELAND ADMINS
TRATI0N, ALL TOOK UP THE CRY
OF EXTRAYAGANCE AND rMPOS-
SIBILITY OF EXECUTION.
Consequently little or nothing was
done TO give the farmers access to the
mails until Cleveland went out Of Office.
When First Assistant Postmaster GEN
eral Perry s. Heath took up the rural
free delivery service under the direction
of the President and the Postmaster
General, in March, 1897. il was Lam
gushing to the point OF extinguishment,
and in few months more would have
been starved to death.
They at once grasped its possibilities
and advocated its immediate develop
ment, and Republican Congress gener-
ously seconded their efforts. Under their
touch II has grown until there
is now not State In the Union that has

it showed to other nations the tremendous
resources which the people Of the United
States were able to command almost at
moments notice. The success Of the war

Pacific Railroad Indebtedness.
The settlement Of the Pacific Railroad
Indebtedness Is also to be ranked as one
Of the greatest achievements Of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration. This
indebtedness had for years been a sub
ject Of fruitless endeavor; all efforts,
either by Congress or the executive de-
partments prior to 1897, were Of little
avail in protecting the governments in
terest In these roads; In fact, there were
grave doubts whether the government
would succeed in being reimbursed. even
in part. the vast sum expended by the
United States In aid Of their construction.
Yet the Mckinley administration. by a
firm and business-like course. achieved
great success.

Work on the White Oaks noun tain

this morning. When foreman of de

inches of snow covering everything in

The Sierra Madre brought up ter
cars of ore yesterday from the Casai

are slow now.
Firemeu Louden and Mock, at Las

is in the city in his private car ''100''
on trip of inspection. He expects to
remain over until tomorrow.
Every train on the Southern Pacific
east and west bound and limited

good for several days, and this fact
creates much'favorable comment.
Notice has been received at the San

shipment of the order of five new To-
wheel passenger locomotives from the
Baldwin Locomotive works has been
started and should arrive az Topeka in
few days. Also the remaining freight
locomotives of an order of ten from the

The charter of the Dallas and New
Mexico railway company has been
filed at Austin. The capital stock of
theicompany:is $50, 900 and it is proposed
to build q railroad west to the western
line of the state, passing through twen-
ty-two counties. The total length of
the proposed rosd is 500 miles and it is
to traverse a section of the country
which is now completely cut off from
railroad communication with the out
side world.
The official report for the year 1899
OF baggage handled together with
com parisOn with the prev ious year has
bee an issued at the union depot. 1t
shows total of over 500. 900 pieces, or
over Il 900 handled each day in the
year. This breaks all previous records
by many thousands. The ootal for 1898
WAS greater than for a year of the con-
clave, which was considered mighty
big rush, but the year just closed beats
the best record by more than 81 900
pieces of matter.
