The College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Mesilla Park
he o e

1t was with feeling of genuine sur
prise that acorrespo pondent for the New
Mexican visited ONE of New Mexico's s
leading educational institutions, the
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, at Mesilla Park.
Driving ut from Las Cruces, one is
impressed with the delightful location
of the institution, situated as 1T lis on
high ground, overlooking the green
fields of the Mesilla VG.ltey and stand
ing against the beautiful background
Of the Organ mountains. The corre-
spondent looked to find both a smaller
and a less developed institution than
the college lis. for although much has
been said about the work, and advan-
tages offered by the college it is safe to
say that not per cent of the people
of the territory really appreciate THE
magnitude of the former, and the benz
efits of the latter.
THE BUILDINGS.
The grounds of the institution are
some two hundred acres in extent,
large portion of which is we'll laid out
i'm orchard and experimental plots.
The institution is of a dual character,
consisting of the college proper and
the New Mexico Experiment Station.
For the good of the students attending
tine institution this lis a double benefit,
for they have constantly before their
eyes practical demonstration of what
agriculture and horticul-
ture can do With conditions existing i'm
this part of the territory. A student

DESIGNATES HIS SUCCESSOR.
The Pope Seeks to Prevent a Struggle Over
the Tiara.

London, May 4-The pope, according
to a dispatch to the Times from Rome,
is understood to have made his will
designating his successor, thus, to
quote a correspondent, modifying the
habitual mode of choosing the pope by
concNave. The theory is that the papal
power being absolute involves the right
of manning "a successor. Dealing with
the rumors of Cardinal Rampolla's re-
tirement from the office of secretary of
state, the correspondent Says that Ram
polla is aiming at the tierra and if the
pontiff died today the struggle would
ibe between Cardinals Rampolla and
Vannlltelli

Pekin, May f.-The majority of for

Missionary Owen of the London mis-

Morrill, fund, and the remainder has
been raised by "a popular subscription
l,olan. to which Dr. Sanders contributed
$500. A thoroughly tnained scientific
agricuIturist has been put at THE head
of THE agricultural department, and its
equipment has been greatly Increased,
"a few head of we'll selected cattle be-
ing among th additions. A carefully
PLANNED and thorough course in scien-
tif1c agriculture dncauding, of course,
instruction iun animal husbamdry and
i'm scientific irriga'tion), la course THAT
is excelned i'm hardly amy of the best

DENTS. A chair of civil and frrigatiion
engineering has been established.
THE course of Study has been revised
and systematized, and THE amount of
work mominaly required reduced; "a
danger freedom lis given the students
in selecting their advanced work, while
a. certain necessary groundwork lis in-
SISTED upon 6or all. 1t Is now possible
to follow the outlines of work laid
down, and the students are more care

The fact of THE poverty of the instA-
tuition (made especially pressing by
fund.- having prevented 1T from adver-
tistng it's excelences or otherwise en-
tering upon proper propaganda work;
the higher standard of admission; the
lack of al boys dormitcry; all have
conspired to bring about al slight re-
duction in the total enrolment. But
the college is now in "a condition to
make a vigorous growth. The tome of
scholarship and conduct lis admirable;
and ut ,Is only necessary that the public
should know of the splendid educa-
tional facilities, both i'm teachers and
i'm equipment; of the earnest tone of
scholarship, the excellent conduct and
the wholesome living that PREVAIL
l!gEltful location and the many means
of healthful r'ecreation, to have it's at
terstance rapidly increased. The bonds
for $4,000 authorized by the last leg
istature win make possible IA number
of valuable improvements, ONE of the
mast needed being commodibus res

men and boys.

A brief account of the several depart
nl'ant;s and of the training of the men
at the head of them will make the
prsrssnrt excellence of the institution
more apparent

cannOi help noticing, for instance, as
he PASSES Through the grounds of the
institution the results of various ex-
peIimants with fruits and vegetables
and flowers, and whether he tries to
or not he absorbs a great deal of valu
able Information. The more Important
buildings of the institution are six i'm
erected i'm 1890, which has two stories
and a basement and is of good size,
and substantially built; the shop build
ing, which was the second to- he erect
ed the seed house and farm house
na2r uJ which lis the college green
house; Science hall, probably the most
attractive of all the buildings, and
which lis the headquarters for the sta
tion workers; amid the Girls Dorm-
tory, which is preIttily situated in the
center of the college grounds. These
buildings alone give the college a
larger permanent equipment than any
other institution of the kind in the ter
rttory. When it comes, however, to AN
examination, such as the New Mexi-
cans correspondent made of the equip
ment in the various departments of
the cGllegeb 1T is at once evident that
the institmtNon is many times THE supe-
rior in that direction of amy other ed
ucatonal institution i'm New Mexico.
About $4,000 would be a moderate es-
timat9 of thla total working equipment
which the institution possesses.
