PROSPECTS EXCELLENT.
In Union County This Season-Four

Special to the New Mexican.
Clayton, N. M, March 21.-The out

stock raiser here. There has been a
very large amount of snow and rain
during the past four months. The wat

springs are strong and the rivers and
creeks are running over. The grass
has a fine start and with weeks
warm weather, will come up SO as to
give plenty of feed for the sheep dur.
ing lambing and shearing time.
The annual wool shipments from
Clayton this year will amount to about
two and half million pounds and OF
this four-fifths have already been con.
tracted to buyers at an average of 1S
cents per pound, the highest average
price ever received in this county, al.
though Union County sheep are high
graded. The losses Of stock in this
section during the recent cold spell
have been few as nearly all of the
stockmen have fed their cattle on oil
cake, a pound of which per day, will
keep the average steer and COW alive.
The experiment Of feeding oil cake has
proven very successful. The losses In
sheep have been comparatively small
and only old and weak animals have
died. The outlook for a heavy calf
and lamb crop is very satisfactory and
owners are we'll pleased with the situ.

"A MOST DELIGHTFUL LUNCH. If

self"
No stammered poor Patty, but I
wanted you toto see this before l have to
get my husbands supper

Miss Vale, with kindly tact; then / can
examine it at my leisure
After dinner, instead of smoking under
the pine trees, Mr.. Dale brought out 4
mandolin, and sat on the piazza, singing
softly in low, well-trained voice.
Patty was fond of music but now the
sound made her so nervous that she could
hardly prepare Miss Wales simple supper.
Why doesn't he take his old goblin pipe
and go away" she murmured pettishly.
Suppose she should go out there when she
has eaten her support
Your husband sings charmingly." Miss
Vale remarked.
Patty could make no reply, and at this
unwelcome moment in came Billy-poor
Billy. who was wont to say he knew only
one tune, Yankee Doodle" which he some
times confused with odd Hundred"
Again was Miss Wales admirable tact
manifested. fer she made no comment on
the mystery of Bily's voice warbling on
the piazza, while Billy was carrying a pail
of milk into the milk room.
Il think I'll take a walk in the orchard -
she said, passing out by the side door
Patty burst into tears.
oh Billy" she sobbed wildly, "she heard
you singing. and here you are here-oh,
oh, what will she think
Heard me singing-me," shouted Billy,
exasperated beyond masculine endurance
Il haven't opened my mouth to sing since
she's been here, for fear of soaring her.
And l don't give hang what she thinks
I'll give them both notice to leave: l won't
have you so worried and nervous"
Patty dried her eyes quickly.
No, no. Billy, it's all right-you don't
understand. She thought 1t was you sing

Louis Burton Dale swung his six feet and
$50 pounds of vigorous manhood from the

around and faced the young fellow, who

Patty put her small brown hand into the
big white one saying confusedly, But l

Dale laughed big, hearty, ringing laugh.

surveying the distance 10 the ground with
s. tisfaction.
But you said you wanted a warm room"
II sisted Patty, almost in tears she
thought of Billy. Poor Billy to whose lot
had fallen the old maid, with her boxes and
bundles"

Byllsby farm? I am Miss Vaile.'"
Isn't she beautiful exclaimed Patty,
and he's handsome, too-the big blonde!
Nouldnt they make a stunning pair?'
Patty, Patty cautioned Billy, counting
chickens again?'
Now Billy reproachfully.
Don't shoot, Patty-if ever l want to say
II again I'll put it into genuine Bostonese."
Meantime the big blonde" was stretched
on the pine needles, smoking a huge pipe
that had hideous COLLINS head for a
BOWL and the glorious Juno was putting
her belongings in place. She had admired
the pretty room and had eaten her supper
quite to Patty's satisfaction.
Il hope you have no other boarders. Mrs
Byllsby?" she had remarked, with seeming
apprehension.
For an instant Patty hesitated, then an
swered, sweetly. You will be quite alone,

Il wish to be. l have come here to

You will find these stairs convenient -.
suggested Patty: they are right by your
door, and the little entry at the foot opens
into the dining room. and also out
doors. The path from that door leads to
the orchard"
Thank you" Miss Vale responded
brightly. 81 shall often walk in that dear
old orchard
Patty breathed sigh of satisfaction.
Miss Vale would use the side stairs, and
admired the orchard; Mr. Dale used the
front stairs and preferred the pine grove
For few days all went well The two
strangers had their meals at entirely diff
ferent hours; Mr.. Dale was away all day,
and after dinner betook himself to the pine
grove and the solaCe of the hideous goblin.
Miss Vale came down for her supper at
this time, strolled about in the orchard
awhile and retired early.
There seemed little probability of a meet
ing. Still Patty was anxious.
This can't go on all summer, Billy; they
are sure to meet, and they will think l
have been dreadfully deceptive"
Don't worry, Patty, the place is quiet,
and they have their meals alone. You
didn't agree to clear Hillsboro county of
its inhabitants for their benefit"
The next afternoon as Patty sat, cool and
pretty. on the vine-draped piazza, she was
joined by Miss Vale.
Il was so tired of my work, and so dis
gusted with myself, that | came down to
find better company" she cried, gaily.
You are writing Patty asked
"Oh, no. / don't write. l only illustrate
the things that other people write. Some
day I'll show you some of my work
The two girls were chatting pleasantly
when Patty spied Billy and Mr.. Dale com

saying. you must show me that old
sampler"
I'll show it to you now gasped Patty,
feverishly, hurrying in at the open door.

Catching Wild Horses.

The bronco is born for the saddle. but IS
given to resisting his fate, and endeavors
to make reciprocal the unpleasantness with
which human beings are associated in his
mind Indians first captured him by the
simple process of walking down through

system af catching wild horses is essen
TALLY the same. Two or more men. with
supplies and swift horses, work together.
When a herd is sighted one man follows il
for all he is worth, while the Others make
camp. When the horse of the first man is
exhausted he returns and another takes his
place. The herd, kept on the jump. with
little chance to eat, soon becomes tired out

deceased Wife's Sister Muddles.

From the London Chronicle
Our refusal TO recognize marriage with
a deceased wife's sister-which is legal
in the Australian commonwealth-hasl led
to many complications in the inheritance
of property. And very embarrassing So
cial incidents have happened One of the
most unpleasant occurred during the
reign of the late queen. Arrangements
had been made by the colonial office for
the presentation of an Australian cabinet
minister and his wife at court, but when
it was found that the lady was a deceased
wife's sister the proposed presentation
was promptly overruled. Such an episode
is not likely to be repeated, for King Ed
ward when Prince of Wales, voted in the
house of lords for the legaliZation of
marriage with a deceased wife's sister.

Land of Twins and Triplets.
From the Chicago Journal.

Scotland is the land of twins and trip
lets, holding a long lead over her sister
countries in this matter. In twelve months
no fewer than 1928 mothers gave birth TO
twins and twenty-five presented tripets
Scotland is among the few countries Of
Europe where the proportion of male abies
is greater than of females. Striking an
average, ii is found that there are about
1pf males to ever 100 females, but the
surplus of grown-up girls is nevertheless
large, as so many men travel south and ap-
parently neglect to take the precaution to
obtain return tickets to the land of cakes.
There is yet another interesting fact about
Scotland. 1t is the land of hale old age.
Recent returns show that during one year
