Mr.. John Douglas Walker, 116 Chest.
nut street, Long Beach, CaliI.:
Sir: Your letter oi the 18th instant
mas been received. In view OF the ma
ture OF the explicit and definite con-
tract you made with the University of
New Mexico, you have no reason TO
expect the acceptance OF what you
chose TO call resignation, as such an
acceptance would imply an acQuies-
ence on our part In your violation OF
your obligation. We consider what
you write as breach of that contract.
OF an objectionable character, and the
board therefore, and fol other reasons
notifies you that the contract is at an
end, and THAI you are dismissed from
the employ of the university. Had We
attempted, as you have. 10 repudiate
the contract. you would have denounc-
Ell us as dishonest, and would proba-
bly, nave resorted to the courts to en-
force compensation for your loss. You
are evidently OF those who wish to
bind others, but not to be bound them
selves.

bered that Delegates Rodey OF New

pretty sharp letters at the time for
her impertinence.
II would be good time now for the
people of New Mexico. while this
teachers institute Is in session. to go
before them and demand at their
hands that they substantiate the Sian
deroue statements OF Mrs. James, or
take the statements back. That was
one OF the worst letters ever published
against the rights OF the people Of New

New Mexico ought to call down this

Lime AS Eco Preserver.

After shaking and settling the lime
the clear solution was drawn OFF for
use in the test On May Is. 1899,
twenty Leghorn eggs, laid during the
five days May 18th to 18th, were
washed and placed in a stone jar, and
the solution of lime and salt poured
over them until all the eggs were fully
surrounded and covered by the
liquid. Result: Good, 100 per cent;
bad, o per cent. This jar was opened
May 80, 1900. The surface of the
liquid was crusted, and considerable
silt had settled to the bottom of the
jar. The shells of the eggs which were
sunken in the silt appeared very
fresh. The exteriors of the shells were
clean and clear The air cells were
not increased in size. The whites and
yolks were normal in appearance The
whites beat up nicely. but had a slight
ly saline taste Several used as
dropped eggs appeared to be nice, but
had . slightly sharp taste This old
fashioned method of preserving eggs
is thus again proved efrective.-R- L

Apples Need Cross PoiIination.
1t has been thought. and 1t seems
to me, not without some foundation,
that season and the individual tree
has most to do with potency and the
self-sterility or self-fertility of varie-
ties. Prof. F. A Waugh in an arti-
Gle, "Pollination of Apples" tells of
covering nineteen blossoms of Ben
Davis to test the effect of that varie-
tvs pollen on itself. He says that
not single fruit set and came to
the conclusion that Ben Davis is self
sterile. These flowers were, proba-
bly,, on the same tree. and if this be
the case, it may have been only an in
Of all the trees of that variety. Care
in the present experiment was taken
that the individual characters should
not spoil the experiment and bios
SONS were covered on two or more
trees. In the case of the Ben Davis,
twenty-six of the one hundred bios
SONS pollinated set fruit, though the
fruits were not so large nor so vigor-
Gus as those from cross-fertilization.
This statement is generally true of
the cross and self-pollinated fruits. 1t
was shown that the se1f-fertilized
fruits showed a greater tendency to
fall from the tree before they had OBJ
tanned size as large as a hazel-nut
The experiments go to show that some
varieties possess more potency in their
pollen than do others, both on their
own pistils and on the pistils of other
varieties In the following it is
shown that few varieties stand in
the lead as pollinizers of the orchard.
Proportion of fruits setting to number
of flowers pollinated with pollen from
the variety named: Ben Davis, 25
per cent; Huntsman, 3711 per cent;
Cooper Early, 371k per cent; Grimes

Present Outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth
Disease.

The present epidemic of contagious
foot-and-mouth disease in New Eng
land was first discovered near Boston,
where it rapidly spread into many
towns in eastern Massachusetts, and
into Rhode Island and Vermont. The
history of its outbreak in Vermont is
as follows: Sixteen cows bought at
a sale at Acton, Mass, were shipped
to Gassett's station in the town of
Chester, and received on November
21st, whence they were driven to
nearby farm. Thirteen of these cows
were sold and driven to Chester sta
ton, four miles distant, on November
oath, where they were distributed
among the farmers who purchased
them. These infected cows caused a
new outbreak of the disease at each
place where they went, and also in
fected the highway over which they
travelled. Four of them were driven
fifteen miles further to a farm in the
town of Windham, from which in turn
other farms have become infected. No
vember 26, two days later, the original
Vermont buyer, becoming alarmed
drove the diseased Massachusetts, cows
back to his own farm Before becom-
ing aware of the presence of the dis
ease IN MS neTu, however, ne SOiu Two
calves to two parties living near
Perkinsvil1e in the town of Weathers-
field, in whose herds foot-and-mouth
disease now prevails Two herds in
the town of Springfield are quaran-
tined on suspicion because of exposure
through these Perkinsville cases. No
cases are now known to exist outside
of this area Inasmuch, however, as
highways, the feet of animals passing
thereon, the shoes of pedestrians, of
visitors to infected farms, ETC., may
bear the infection, particular watch
fulness and care are called for on the
part of all stock owners
