Seeds for Farmers.

Delegate Rodey has this year
succeeded in getting a large sup
ply of seeds from the Depart
ment of Agriculture for New
Mexico. Last year he got five
full quotas. This year he gets
three, which is pretty good as
against one obtained in former
years. He would have obtained
five this year, were it not for the
fact that the Department Of Ag-
riculture is using a large amount
of the seed appropriation to buy
seed for Texas farmers, whose
crops we're ruined 10y the cotton

Nearly every farmer in New
Mexico will receive seeds any
way, but any person not having

Charles Bremond received a letter
yesterday afternoon from the depart
menI OF the Interior at Washington
saying authority had been given to
drill wells on the Mescalero Apache
reservation 125 miles west OF this
city. The wells will be drilled at the
expense Of the government as an
experiment and the limit is a depth
of 500 feet. If water is secured at
government will drill six wells on
the reservation. w. H. Strickland,

awarded the contract for drilling the
first experimental well, and il it
proves a zee 1t will mean a won
derful improvement of the reserva-
ton. Mr.. Bremond has sheep inter-
ests there. and it is due to his I'M
ceasing efforts for two years that
the government has finally consent
ed to make the experiment.

Stepped Against a Hot Stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove which burned him severe
ly. The child was in great agony
and his mother could do nothing to
pacify him. Remembering that she
had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm in the house. she thought she
would try it. In less than half an
hour after applying it the child was
quiet and asleep. and in less than
two weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is
a well known resident of Kellar. Va.

Corn Breeding Fields.

In breeding corn a small field usually
an acre in size is used The land is pre-
pared and the seed bed treated as for
the ordinary field. They are usually
about 100 hills long and thirty rows
wide. Each row is planted from sep
arate ear. The barren stalks, poor
stalks and all undesirable stalks, such
as suckers, are removed before the tas-
sci appears. The field is protected or
isolated, so that no mixture can take
place from other varieties or from any
source. In the fall these rows are
husked separately, and the seed for the
next years crop is selected from the
rows giving the highest yields per acre.
of best composition, with the least bar
rem stalks and of the best type In this
way the yield per acre of the variety is
increased, the quality improved and the
type preserved and developed. By this
plan we are able to give personal at
tention and direct selection to the in
dividual stalk and ear, which would be
impossible in a large field.-Cosmopoli.

Emer.on,s Best Beoue:t.

The best thing that Emerson has left
us is his spirit, fine and high, stern and
sweet. He took life in a royal way,
and bore himself toward the eternal
mysteries with serene courage and
dauntless hope. His essays, which are
his most characteristic work, have their
chief value not as revelations of the
moral order of life, not as discoveries
of the final meaning Of things, but as
disclosures Of his own spirit. There Is
in these essays an immense mass of
truth, uttered in picturesque and men,
orable words. There is in them also
an immense mass that is not true The
Emersonian hit and miss are upon
every page, and side by side with a
golden and perfect sentence one finds
sonorous eccentricity. The origin Of
this strange compound of oracle and
imposition in Emerson lies in the con-
fessiOnal character of his writing. He
speaks from within, and his generaliZa-
tons hit or miss according as his per-
sonal experience embodies law of
humanity or a mere idiosyncrasy That
Emerson speaks SO often and so royalty
for man is his great distinction. That
he speaks so frequently for the idiosyn-
cratic the isolated and vain is his chief
fault. We have right to hold him at
his best, and through the richness and
majesty of the confession we are
brought face to face with the confessor.

Concerning the Letter "Y..

A writer in Science denies that the
letter "" is lineal descendant from
the Roman ''Y." which in the time of
Cicero was borrowed from the Greek
alphabet to represent upsilon in the
translation of Greek names. The lat
ter is only used, he says, as vowel to
transliterate upsilon III loan words Ell
Their direct from the Greek or Indirect
ly through Latin or French. In a great
majority of cases the English ~" is a
semiconsonant corresponding in value
with the continental 81" Along with
the other Roman letters, " was
adopted by the Anglo-SaXons from the
Latin alphabet with a value approx
mating to that of 81" In fact, he
claims that there is not lineal de-
scendant of the Anglo-Saxon ~" now
in existence. The letter ~ in modern
English words is, curiously enough. he
claims, not a ~" at all, but lineal de-
scendant Of the Anglo-Saxon So"
which was the Roman sc" evolved by
the Romans out of an earlier &C."

Natures Curious Tree Law.

Let us observe law common to all
trees. First, neither the stems nor
boughs of the maple, elm or oak taper
except at the point where they fork.
Whenever stem sends forth branch
and branch sends off smaller bough,
bud or stem, they remain the same in
diameter, and the original stem will
increase rather than diminish until its
next branch starts. No bough, branch
or stem ever narrows near its extrem-
ity except where it parts with por-
ton of Its substance by sending off
another branch or stem.
All trees are alike in this respect, and
If all the boughs, branches, stems, buds
and blossoms were combined and unit
ed without loss Of space they would
form u round log the same in size and
diameter as the trunk from which they
