Santa fe's New Cut Or to the Pacific.

Announcement has been made by of ticials of the Santa Fe that Sl0, 900, 900 will be spent by that company in build ing new cut of to the Pacific Coast, to avoid heavy mountain grades and reduce the running time of trains.
 he western end of the proposed line will be at Belen, N. M., 27 miles south of Albuquerque, and the eastern end at Texico, on the line between New Mexico and Texas, in the Pecos Val ley. Construction of this line was be- gun two years ago, but was discon- tinued after 23 miles of the 25O had been completed. The Sierra Nevada mountains will be crossed at Abo Pass, at an elevation of 6, 491 feet, but at maximum grade east bound of one and one-quarter per cent, and west bound of ixtenths of one per cent. The line will cross the Santa Fe Gen. tral near Willard and the Fl Paso and Northwestern at Llano, N. NJ. The existing line crosses the Glorietta and the Raton passes at elevations of nearly 5000 feet and at a maximum grade of 3i per cent. Railroad World.

Depends on the Weather.

The number of times this flooding pro- cess must be repeated depends entirely upon whether il is wet or dry spring. If nature is l<ind-as a rule she Is not out in that land of sage bush and alkail- and sends the ever welcome rain, the ground need only he flooded couple or times. otherwise the "lateralS make 1re- quent calls on the main ditch. once crop is started it is not necessary to seed again. All that Is required Is to blow anu to furnish the all important water.
 While water is the sine qua non or ai- falfa raising the soil and temperature have a great deal to do with the quai- ity and quantity of the crop. For ln- stance in the rather bleak Montana, the man who gets two good cuttings year IS lucky, while in California three and four cuttings Is the rule and frequently six can be had. Very frequently regions na- turally the most barren and arid are when once the magic stream of water is brought into play. the most fertile and productive There is Nevada. the home of the great American Desert. and the synonym for barrenness and arldity; throw water over it's desert stretches and it produces on the average 3o% tons an acre What is still more strange Is that the first state in the union for yield per acre is Utah. The yield per acre there Is 3.b4 tons.
 The value of alfalfa is finally being realized by the eastern farmer. and In the last few years 1t has been experi- mented with on a large scale cast of the Mississippi. Only this fall the govern ment has been sending an Alfalfa and Corn Special train through the southern states. On the special were many emil nent experts on the growing of alfalfa, who, at the different stations, gave good practical lectures to the farmers on how to grow this very valuable forage food.
 "Clover Sickness"
 At present the eastern farmer Is in very receptive mood because, for the last five or six years, the clover crop has been very poor, due to a mysterious malady called. for lack of better name, the .'clover sickness" Government experts have been trying hard to discover the cause of this clover sickness, and they now think that 1t comes from planting the seed too early in the spring, while the frost is still in the ground When planted at that time a certain fungus adheres to the seed and causes all the trouble. The remedy they say Is to plant the seed in August However, even if the clover should regain its prestine strength, as a crop 1t Is matter of doubt whether or not alfalfa hasn't taken it's place among the hay growers of the east Alfal- fa,s chief attraction to eastern farmers Is that it can be fed to dairy cows to the exclusion of all other foods, and they will do very well, well indeed. as if fed on bran and other grains. This sub stitution of alfalfa for grain diet will result in cheapening. to a considerable de- gree, the price of dairy products. An- other reason why alfalfa should be pop ular is that as a pasture for hogs it Is almost equal to corn and far less ex-

most reckes sof them were wont to place a single drop of that deadly poison, prus- sic acid, in the bottom of a wine glass and hold 1t against the eye for two or three seconds. Or more rashly still they would take a small quantity, a piece not larger than a grain of rice-of an oint ment containing that mortal drug. atropia, and rub 1t on the brow. Each of these was supposed to give clearness and bril- lancy, expand the pupil and impart a fas- chatting fullness and mellowness of the eye. Certain slightly pungent and volatile perfumes, such as oil of thyme, were occasionally worn on the handkerchief, causing the eyes to glitter and sparkle. The eye was made to appear large, full and almond shaped by the use of fine pencil dipped in antimonical sulphur or Egyptian black, rubbed upon the lids along the angle.
 But, after all, the surest means by which a woman may acquire and preserve the gift of pleasing Is to be young in spirit If not in years; and every bit pretty as Is possible with all the legitimate means at her command if she is always kind and gentle always ready to give to others the sunniest side of her nature.

Weddings and Funerals.

From the Atehison (Kan.) Globe.
 There is mighty little difference be- tween a wedding and a funeral At wedding the relations walk slowly down the aisle. followed by the bridal couple and a string of attendants. At a funeral the relations enter the church slowly, followed by the coffin and the pallbearers. At wedding the real relations of the bride sit on one side of the church, and the inlaw relations sit on. the other. The kin of the remains take opposite sides of the church at a funeral. The or gan rolls out the same deep music and the odor of flowers is as heavy at a we'd ding as at a funeral. After the church services are over the bridal couple and attendants leave the church first. fol- lowed by the relatives, and at funeral the coffin and pallbearers are given pre- cedence of the church and relatives in leaving the church. The same hacks stand at the door, and the processions In both cases pass slowly out of sight. After everything Is over the relatives get to- gether and talk things over very much the same in both instances. There are some tears. some criticisms. some com plaints about blunders, and the incidents are closed.

NUNS FIRST POWDERED HAIR.
The Fashionable World Then Adopted
 the Custom.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 The custom of powdering the hair dates hack as far as the sixteenth century and was first introduced by the nuns in French convents. Those who had occasion to leave the cloisters for any reason were wont to powder their hair so as to make if appear gray and give them venerable look The fashionable danes were so struck with the novel effect Of White powder on dark hair that they soon ap- proprated the device as one of the arts of the worldly toilet. Out of this grew the use of tints in the hair. The Roman women often used blue powder and later' in 1S60 Empress Eugenie set the fashlon of using gold powder.
 Rome under the empire and Greece dur ing the time of Percles were seized with a mania for golden hair. The belles ana fops of the day devised several methods whereby black locks might be changed to golden yellow, but bleaching did not al ways succeed. Consequently quite trade was established with the fair haired tribes beyond the Alps who sold their locks to Latin merchants, to be worn on the heads of the Roman dandies.
 Many dame dampened her raven tresses in the strongest of murauc aeld and sat in the sun to bleach her halr to the coveted yellow. Others used I've and afterward anointed their heads with oil made from goat fat, ashes of the peeeh tree and certain yellow flowers.
 The itinerant barber, who passed down and out when people ceased to use powder in their hair, was quite u parsonage In hs day He went from house to house armed with a soap bowl to fit the chin, powder boxes, pomatum and puffs, was always a snewsmonger and gratuitous scandal bearer.
 When wigs were in vogue, the Roman sdames had in their wardrobes as many wigs as costumes, and when the choice or a wig was made 1t was necessary to ar jrange the eyebrows, lashes and com plexion in harmony. It was then that the slaves were specially charged with the makeup of the face-a delicate operation, called by Cicero, Medicaments candoris ct rubors.
 There were some cunning devices in vogue among the belles of the Old World for giving expression 10 the eye. The

 In the days when Rossini was at the height of his fame. an unknown young composer brought him manuscript to look over.
 "What is itr" asked the composer of civilian Tell.'

 Rossini set the music up before him on the piano, and lead it through rapidly. Then he turnci brusauely and handed 1t back to it's owner

wheat crop and more than twice the num- ber for moving the corn, yet the pnce per car for hauling hay was third less than it was for hauling wheat.
 It can readily be seen from these fig- sures that If freight rates were strictly proportional to the cost of the service, the hay trade would suffer severely, in fact, would become a local affair, and those communities that were not fortu- nate in their hay crop would suffer com mercially to quite an extent, as 1t would be impossible to winter stock profitabiy at the price hay would sell Tor II the roads inaugurated rate system based solely on the cost of service.

pensive. The most prosperous ranch own CTS in the southwest today are those who breed hogs and fatten them on alfalfa.
 To drive home the unusual proportions of the hay industry in this country noth- ing is better than to give few railroad statistics. This year there were needed 5 ,963, ,636 cars to move the hay crop throughout the United States. When one thinks that all the corn could be moved in 2,650 coo cars, and that the wheat, that King of American products, only required 712,o00 cars, he begins to realize what factor in American products hay is. It Is doubtful, however if this vast hay trade would have arisen to it's present propor- tions without the intelligent cooperation of the railroads. A few figures will show this In handling the hay output the roads devoted to it's service three times the number of cars that they did for the

UNCLE SAM |S 4 GREAT HAY MAKER Hay is Most Democratic of Our
 Crops EVERY FARMER HELPS This Year 5,ses,s3e Cars Needed to Move the Crop Throughout the
 United States-How
 Hay Is Grown.
EVERY FARMER HELPS

New York, December 9.--Uncle Sam is the greatest haymaker in the world, arS this year it is estimated that he has harvested GA, 100000 tons, a crop worth over half billion dollars. The average city man who thinks of the term "crops' vaguely as referring to wheat and corn will doubtless be astonished at these hg- nres on something that he usually con siders eff he considers it at alb as mere breakfast food for animals. And though all hay looks alike to the uninitiated, there are many different kinds of grasses which are grouped under that generic term. The principal one, of course, are timothy and clover in the east and al fa1fa In the west
 Hay is, moreover, the most democratic of all of our crop productions. Every farmer had hand in swelling the vast total of the crop. There are no vast areas of land devoted exclusively to hay raising, such as the monster wheat fields of South Dakota Or the huge corn fields of Nebraska and Kansas. Instead every farmer has his own small field, where he grows usually very little more than will carry his stock through the winter However, when all of these small fields are added together, the result is im- pressive. The average area of land used for the production of hay during the years from 1900 to 1904 was 39, 653,19I acres. Had the nations hay fields been included in one gigantic farm, 1t would have been as big as the states of New York and Massachusetts with half of Connecticut thrown in. The average yield from the &, ,O00, ,00O acres of hay land has been 56- .265 tons year, considerably less than this years great crop.

An Unknown Process.

Nearly every one knows how the timo- thy and clover of the east Is grown, cut and marketed but the raising of alfalfa in the far west Is to the average eastern- CT an unknown process. What alfalfa has done and is doing for the west can hardly be estimated. Without it the stock-raising industry. which Is the chief occupation of the west would be fear fully handicapped.
 In the early days, when all the range was free, and the rich, nourishing buffalo grass grew knee high, there was no need to have a supply of hay on hand to win ter the stock, the animals could rustic" enough off the range to get through the winter months in good shape. But as the settlers poured in. and took up homesteads of 160 acres, the range became more and more restricted, the supply of Buffalo grass became scan tier and scantier, and soon the stock growers found that to winter their stock, especially sheep they must have on hand large amount of hay Various grasses were tried, but alfalfa, grass intro duced from Asia into California, was found to be the best for all purposes, and now is the mainstay of the sheep and cattle in all of the Rocky Mountain states.
 To produce alfalfa you must irrigate. Now and then small crop can be raised without the help of the irrigation ditch.
  satisfactory that practically no one in the west today attempts to raise alfalfa without first irrigating. Given water. though the rest Is easy. The farmer taps stream with his main ditch. which is laid out along the side of more or less precipitous hill. From the main ditch run what are called 'laterals," little ditches about 8 foot deep and & foot and half wide. When the ground Is plowed and the seed safely tucked away Tn the basin of Mother Earth, tine "laterals'' are filled
 to overfiowlng from the main ditch and the land is flooded. The amount of land covered. of course, depends on the eleva-
 ton of the "laterals' and the amount. or drop the water has After the land IS | covered by about two inches of water the | lead gates of the main ditch are closed l and the water is allowed to soak into | the ground. As soon as all the water has l been thoroughly absorbed, the "laterals 1 are again filled and the thirsty ground 1 flooded once more.
