PAYING INVESTMENT
New Line Would Connect Roswell
With All the Principal Cities Of the
Territory, Besides RI. Worth, DaI.
las and Other Texas Towns.

w. H. McClintock, manager OF the
Roswell and Artesia telephone lines.
eft last evening for Artesia on bust
ness connected with the proposed
10 Artesia parties are backing the
proposition, and il it goes through
t will be a paying investment.
The connection of Artesia with Ala
nogordo would mean that Roswell
would have long distance telephone
connection with Santa Fe, AlbuQuer-
lue. Las Vegas, Captain, Cloudcroft
md all of the mountain towns, FL
oaso. Texas. and in fact every inn
oortant point in New Mexico. Ii also
would mean that Roswell would he
connected with Dallas. FIT. Worth.
Houston. Galveston and many other
points in Texas
The parties who are engineering
the scheme are enthusiastic about
It. and the work will likely be started
IN a few weeks. The distance from
Artesia is only 100 miles. and the
,ine could be constructed very cheap
". After the line reached Hope. II
would be possible to buy poles at
,bout seventy-five cents each. The
0oles on the line between here and
Artesia cost about $500 apiece. The
lew line would require metallic cir
cult from here to Artesia and from
here to Alamogordo.

General KuroDatkin has

here is intense over the final Issue
of the struggle. In view of the number
of men and guns engaged, the earn

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-The bat
tie at Lao Yang continued last night
until midnight with frightful slaugh-
ter. The Japanese at last succeeded
in getting a column across the Taitse
river northeast of Lao Yang. and
General Kuropatkin gave orders to
fall back on the main works. but oy
ing to the Japanese pressure this
movement was not executed. The ar
mics slept in their positions. Official
advices timed at a. M. say that the
battle had not resumed at that hour.
General Kuropatkin's order to fall
back on the fortifcations was proba
bly, due to the receipt of information
that the Japanese had succeeded in
crossing the Taitse river northeast
Of Lao Yang, although Generals Rem
and Mandaritieff's divis-

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

A chick that becomes stunted seldom
attains good size or weight. Keep them
growing.
Chicks should never be kept on
board floors. Such floors should be
we'll covered with dry earth and litter.
The breeder who expects to carry Oft
the laurels at the fall fairs of 1904
should get his chicks well under way
now.
Well-kept, well7ventilated and thor
oughly clean houses should be proof
against sickness of any kind in tbs
flock.
1t is not advisable to give male
more than ten females to take care If,
ordinarily, although more than this
number can be given an extra vigorous
male.
It is a waste of time, space and food
to attempt to grow exhibition birds Of
merit from inferior stock. The very
best will throw quite enough of the
poorer quality.-Commercial Poultry.

wide by six feet long. The hopper was
placed up at the head of the granary
stairway with the screens underneath
In such a manner that when the
cracked corn is allowed to run slowly
from the hopper it grades nicely into
three sizes of cracked corn, besides the
fine meal, which would go to waste if
scattered on the ground for the poultry,
and anyone would be surprised at the
amount of this meal saved even from
the best sifted cracked corn. The size
Of screens may be arranged to suit each
user I use No. for top or coarsest
as I want it as coarse as possible for,
pigeons; No. 6 for second, and No. ~
for nest. These sizes if set at an angle
that the corn will run down nicely
without requiring any shaking to pre-
vent lodging, will give nice grades of
cracked corn. The more upright the
grader is placed the more fine will be
left in the coarser grades, and the less;
thoroughly will it be sifted. This has
saved me many times it's cost in the
meal saved alone, aside from the con-
venience of having the size cracked
wanted for the different birds. At times
when feeding largely on cracked corn
have saved enough meal to feed two
cows.-Rural New Yorker.

ENTRANCE TO THE BEEHIVE
It Should Be Large Enough to Allow
Ventilation and Plenty Of
"Elbow" Space.

Common opinion holds that the low
err part of the hive is the proper place
for the entrance as it protects the
brood nest and at the same time gives
the bees better chance to clean their
hive of Gaping refuse and dead bees
and to keep their house in general Or
der. Some argue that the entrance
should be near the top of the hive, thus
giving bees a short cut to the combs,
but on the other hand you are giving
the cold air a chance to get to brood
cluster, and this will bring about bad
results. The size of the entrance
should be ample and not too small.
During the rush of the honey season
the writer uses space 3xk inches, and
during very warm weather raises hives
one-quarter inch in front by means Of
wedges. This allows ventilation and
plenty of space for all requirements
during warm spring days. When rob-
bers are apt to cause trouble close up
the entrance, allowing only about
enough space for two bees to enter at
once. OF course your strong swarms
will take care of themselves, but by
doing this with your light ones you
will save much trouble.-G. H. Towns
end, in Ohio Farmer.
