The Sixth District Judicial conven-

ney. Mr. Mollette had been an ac-
tive attorney in Durango for several
years until January list, 1902, when
he moved to Pagosa. His record has
been clean and honest since he be-
gan his profession, which is more
than can be said of our late and
many. district attorneys who have
held the office in this district. He de-
serves the hearty support of the en-
tire district.-Pagosa Springs Times.

while driving one of the heavy logging
teams, fell under the wheel and was
instantly killed No one was present
to witness the catastrophe, but the.
supposition is that the man was sit
ting sidewise in the saddle, and that
in some way he slipped and fell, strih-
ing the tongue of the wagon in his de-
| scent. His foot caught in one of the
fore wheels and he was unable to en-
| tricate it. AS the horses passed or,
the wheel ran over the entire length
of his body, slipping off at the shoul-
der and crushing his body fearfully
Life was extinct when his companions
found him, and it is supposed from the
terrible condition of the body that
death was instantaneous The team
was heavily loaded and probably
weighed about $4,000 pounds. He was
not far from the mill when the acci-
dent occurred. The man who brought
the news into town was unable to
state all the details, and as yet. they
are not known to the Graden people
Mr.. Branch has been employed for
about two years at the mill He was
formerly employed at the Smelter in

The farmer who shows this judgment
and this thrift can and should be ons
CT the most independent and content
ed mcr in the world. But this the
average farmer. North or South, never
VIII be while ne makes the pursuit. Of
money his main object. OF course lie
will want to make money. He should,
and therefore he will work industrious
sly and raise. if he be wise, the crops
that will return him the most for his
labor. But to make money should not
be his first aim. That should be, while
not overlooked, secondary. The main
idea should be to make the farm a
home beyond the reach of anyone else,
where comforts are, where there is
peace, contentment, and no regrets
over yesterday or worrying over to-
morrow
The average farmer is too apt to
find fault with his calling and think
his lot a hard one, and yet he is in
Comparably better off than millions of
his countrymen, who toll for others,
and whose fate is dependent in a great
measure on the success or failure of
their employers, and on the judgment
these employers exercise in the man
agement of their business. In the la
Dor world there is always unrest, for
there is more or less of a struggle go
ing on between capital and labor. La
Dor feels as if capital was imposing
upon it, and capital feels as if it was
not getting out of labor all it is en-
titled to; hence friction. that SO often
eliminates in disagreement and in
strikes, in which both lose, and the
workman sometimes suffers much, be-
cause, being so dependent upon his
daily labor, he cannot stand idleness
long without suffering, especially If he
has family dependent upon him.
The prices of farm products may
go down until there is little profit in
them for the farmer but what farmer
who is not shackled with debt would
exchange places with the toiler on
strike or with any toiler who may be
employed one day and idle the next,
or who may receive one wage rate
one day and a week later suffer ma
terial reduction in wages. although at
the same time the expense of living
may be materially increased? The
only hope for the wage Garner is that
by economy and thrift and steady en-
ployment he may be able to save
money enough to go into business for
himself some day, and thus not be de-
pendent upon the fortunes of the ca
prices of others. He hopes to get just
where the farmer is-in a position
where he may be his own master and
be independent, the maker and the ex-
ecutor of his own plans, and account
able to no one for the hours he la
bors or the hours he rests.
Life on the farm ought to be an
ideal life, and it would be if it were
rightly viewed and rightly followed
1t could be made an ideal life if the
farmer made that his aim and knew
how to do it, but it can never be an
ideal life unless there is thorough in
dependence and such methods as make
that independence possible. and unless
the pursuit of comfort and content.
The farmer who drudges to make
money is not a farmer; he is simply
pursuing the avocation of a self-con-
demned serf.

Science in Agriculture.

Some important and interesting
points on the planting, breeding and
selection of seed corn are given in a
bulletin by the Illinois Agricultural
Station. and while our corn crop is just
now one of the most important in
the country, it is timely to call at
tention to the best conclusions of the
best experts in corn culture. Special
attention is given to the selection of
seed corn, which will make all the diff
ference in the world in the annual
crop of the country. A little more
wisdom and intelligence are required
in the uniform selection of right seed
corn. so that in time every ear will
be of a uniform size, and each kernel
will be full and plump, and a
large number on each cob. The yield
per acre could in this way be increased
greatly without planting a single ad-
ditional grain of corn. Some of the
varieties of seed corn are to-day far
better than anything planted ten and
fifteen years ago, and this is due to the
fact that they have been carefully Sc
lected and cultivated for twenty five
years, past until their type and char
acteriStics are pretty well fixed. Ar
gument is given for Dedigreed corn.
Not much of this is used yet, but more
farmers the great value of using the
finest seed corn. Pedigreed corn traces
it's ancestry back to remote ancestors,
but the selection of each years seed
forms an established record which goes
to show that certain qualities can be
depended upon.
Practically the bulletin advises
against leaving seed corn exposed in
cribs to winter cold weather, which is
sometimes robbed of half its vitality
Seed corn should be selected in the
fall and carefully kept Only the best
ears and grains should be used, and
those of uniform size and fullness of
kernels. The grains on these ears
should test an average of ninetv-five
per cent. in termination in the spring
If they will not there IS something
wrong, and it is doubtful policy to at
tempt to use them for planting. Prof.

CUBA's CATTLE LEGISLATION.

Tampa Times: A project is passing
the Cuban congress by which gov
eminent bounty of IS is offered on
every mich COW or heifer brought in
to the island by private importers,
and the killing of female cattle for
beef purposes is to be prohibited in
absolute for a long term of years. At
the same time, the sending of poor
cattle, whether domestic or of recent
importation, to the slaughter houses
of Havana and other Cuban towns is
forbidden. Members of the cattle, i'm
port and slaughter house monopoly and
like syndicates, as well as local BUTCH
ers, must send their unfatted beeves
to the plantations and pastures six to
ten weeks before killing them, thus
preventing the continuance of the sys-
tenn now existent, whereby half starv-
ed beeVes and half famished stock ar
irving one day by tramp steamer from
Texas or Mexico or more southern
ports, and sent direct to local slaugh-
ter pens the same night to be killed
the following morning and the meat
sold at once. The import tax of $12
per head on beeves, now collectable,
will be continued, and these must pay,
in addition, the new municipal import
of cents per pound, gross weight.
