SUMMARY Of THE SITUATION
Strike in Russia Said to Be Practical
iy Ended.

W ended.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-vThere has
been partial suppression of disorder
in Warsaw and traffic has been re.
stored SO far as to permit Of the ar.
rival of some supplies OF food. In
other industrial centers, including
Moscow and st. Petersburg, the strike
is practically at an end. Grand Duke
Vladimir, In the course of an inter-
view with the Associated Press, init
mated that the people of Russia wou.a
soon be given measure OF repre-
sentative government, although he
declared that anything like general
suffrage was not to be considered.
The committee of ministers which
discussed the proposed reforms has
published report with the purpose Of
showing the people that the plans
outlined In the imperial decree Of Dec.
&c are being carefully considered.
An unconfrmed report Is in circula.
ton that 1t has been ofdclally ascer.
tanned that the discharge of grape
from a saluting gun during the cere.
moHy Of the blessing of the waters
on Jan. ~. and which imperiled the
lives Of the emperor and members Of
his family, was a deliberate act Of
the terrorists, their tool being pr.
vate soldier named Bogdanof OF the
saluting battery.
An ohhcial statement gives the cas-
ualties In the collision between strik.
ers and troops on Jan. % as ninety-six
killed and $3.50 wounded. OF the latter
thirty-two have died.

One of the questions asked at the
Yakima Institute was (Which is to
be preferred, the whole root, or the
piece root graft?" One of the fruit
growers said that question had been
settled in favor of the whole root
graft. But it seemed to me that such
a view was considerably unsettled be-
fore the discussion ended. Prof. Hunt
ley showed conclusively that the mat
ter had been thoroughly investigated
by the experiment stations and lead
ing fruit growers in the United States
and that they had pronounced it to be
a fad worked by certain nurserymen
for commercial purposes. That is the
view entertained by Prof. Budd a
number of years ago. The writer
made a somewhat exhaustive exam
nation of this question some years
ago and then decided that the best
tree is one of it's own roots. This end
is attained by grating long scion on
a short piece of root, the graft to be
set down deep in the ground. All the
buds on this long scion under the
ground will make roots. When the
tree is transplanted to the orchard,
cut off the piece OF root and then you
have a tree on it's own roots. The
only office the piece of root performs
is to keep the long scion alive till it
grows it's own roots. If apple cuttings
would grow then the piece of root
could be omitted altogether. Apple
cuttings will grow without the piece
of root but the work is difficult and
the root is used to nurse the scion the
first year. After that it is not needed.
It is claimed by some nurserymen
that crown gall is more prevalent on
piece root CRAFTS than on whole root
crafts. That is very doubtful, but II
that is so, then the method l advocate
would be the best of all for it is
claimed that cutting the tree near the
surface of the ground tends to pro-
duce crown gall. For this reason
some plant seed and then bud the
seedlings near the ground. But with
nv method there will be no cutting
near the ground and it is not believed
that this kind of gall will develop SIX
to eight inches under the ground
Prof. Fulmer delivered very inter
esting lecture on sugar beets at the
Yakima Institute He is thorough
man and when he speaks on any sub
iect with which he is familiar he is
instructive and interesting. He says
that the sugar content of the beet has
been raised by thorough breeding
from per cent to % per cent. 1t has
taken a hundred years or more to do
this. This shows what the skill OF
man can do by cooperating with ma
ture. Prof. Fulmer very wisely, 1t
seemed to me, would not commit him
self to the profits of sugar beet rails
ing in the Yakima valley. Prof. Full
mer perhaps knows that there have
been many disappointments in sugar
beet raising in the United States.
The Nebraska Farmer is at present
publishing some very discouraging re-
ports on the sugar beet industry in
that state. A good many failures are
reported. AS near as I can make out

SpringliRe.

This week we have been blessed with
climate instead of weather and every
one feels the effects Of the change.
This place has been made famous for
its pure water, its reputation being al
most equal to that of Milwaukee for
beer. And it has an equally wide re.
putation for its cloudless skies and ge,
Mai sunshine. But owing 20 circums-
tarc over which we have no control
our skies have been darkened, disagree
able winds have been forced upon us
and through Us, and water from heaven
-as pure as the Deming article. has
descended in copious showers and driz-
zling rains, until our surrounding plains
look like a section of the Kankakee
bottoms in northern Indiana.
But today it looks as If the old condi-
tions had returned and Deming was
herself again.

A Queer Remedy.

"Walking on all fours twenty min
utes four times a day is recommended
by German medical journals as a re-
medy for appendicitis, Such exercise
is said to strengthen the abdominal
muscles. 4"
Well, circrs, a hippodrome and a
carnival company combined would look
like thirty cents when the fathers and
mothers of Deming some of them
weighing nearly three hundred pounds,
with their kids and grand kids,
friends and neighbors, strike out for a
twenty minute walk on all fonrs along
our city thoroughfares. There will be
no lack of spectators to witness the
procession. The German treatment
for muscle strengthening may he all
that is claimed for it. but it will take
time to make it popular in Deming.

Another Move.

The growing power Of the west is
giving the eastern politicians and con-
gressmen the nightmare, and they have
heen looking for some means by which
they could retain control Of the country.
The game they have played with the
territories will not work much longer,
and something has to be done.
Here is the latest move to prevent
the "star of empire" from migrating
westward:
1t is proposed TO create new state
out Of eastern Tennessee, southeast
ern Kentucky and southwestern Virgil
mia.
1t is reported bill will be introduced in
the next congress to this effect, and as
it is said to have thu Endorsement of
the President and his eastern support
ers it will undoubtedly pass, as the peo-
pie living In the sections above referred
TO, are known to be in favor of the move
ment. If the bill passes the new state
will, at the time of admission, have a
population of round million, or about
that of West Virginia or Connecticut
and a greater population than Wash
ington, Oregon, Vermont, Utah, South
Dakota, Rhode Island, New Hampshire,
Maine or Louisiana. The territory j.
rich in coal and ores, and it will surpass
West Virginia as mineral State if ad
mitted to the Union. This will add tc
the East two senator's and about fiv,
congressman.

.JO-IO.

Scab and Texas fever and other nui-
sances that annoy our stockmen, are
not to be compared with those Of GER
tain parts Of Mexico. Among the
worst is the Jo.lo fly. No means for
their destruction have yet been found,
which at times become a veritable
plague and cause numerous deaths
among cattle.
The ily, as is well known, enters the
ears of animals and lays It's eggs there.
After few days the eggs become lar
vac and then small worms which little
by little destroy the auricular organs
of the animals, and sometimes even
penetrate the brain and cause death.
Stock raisers have foun1 that the
only means to prevent the introduction
Of the fly is to place an oilsoaked piece
Of cloth or cotton in the ears of the
animals.

SpeechlsSs.

Two workmen were engqg e d
in digging well when suddenly por-
tion of the earth gave way, falling on
and knocking down one Of the men.
His companion called to him and listen
ed anxiously for a reply.
"Pat, speak, mani" cried Mike again
from above. care ye dead?"
"No, Mike" came the answer, with
groan, T'm not dead, but I'm
spachless.
Without more ado Mike set off for
help as fast as his legs could carry him.
Humping loudly on the door of Pats
xinsfolk, he summoned help, explaining
that Pat had been Knocked "spachless"
and was buried by the earth in the
we'll.
"Who told ye so?" was theunexpect-
ed matter Of fact inquiry.
"He told me himself, retorted Mike,
indignant at his word being doubted,
"and begoora woman, If ye don't be-
lieve me come and ask him, and he'll
tell ye it's the truth I'm speakingl"

Another Ordinance Needed.

Within a week at least two persons
have been hit in the eye by stones shot,
evidently from slingshots, in the hands
of boys. who conceal themselves near
the streets and shoot at passers-by.
Mr.. Whisenand, the agent Of the Santa
Fe, living on the corner of Zinc avenue
and Pine street, was hit in the
eye while in his own yard.
Nearly every town in the United
States has an ordinance, forbidding the
carrying of "bean shooters, " "ngger
shooters, s.slingshots or slings within
the corporation. Ten lashes, well laid
on, would be about an adequate penalty
for the act that has nearly destroyed
an eye each for two persons in Deminp
within week.

VIII Plant New Cacti in Deserts.

The Santa Fe system is making ar
rangements to plant the southwestern
desert along its route with spineless
cacti which contain both food and wat
er for cattle. The Mojave desert will
first receive attention, then Arizona
and New Mexico. Spineless cacti
plants are now worth Sl00 each, but
they are easily propagated. They were
developed by Luther Burbank, the
famous horticulturist. The percentage
of nutrition is next to alfalfa. The
railroad company's action means that
millions of acres of desert will be turn
ed into pasture.

AGENTS All Right.

In Eddy County last week Judge
Pope handed down a decision which
will be of interest to all the cities in
the Territory. The officials Of the
county We .., by a Chicago grocery
firm to c. = hem from interfering
with the agents in soliciting grocery
orders and delivering the same. The
county contended that the firm must
either pay an occupation tax or else
take out a peddler's license. The de-
cision of the court was that under the
lnsterstate Commerce Law non.resi-
dent business house has the right Ia
send agents into different states and
territories to solicit orders for goods,
and that the agent can then deliver the
goods TO the purchasers without com
ing under the statutory definition of O
peddler, and chat the firm or its repre-
.sentatives is not required to pay a IL
censc to do business. The injunction
was made permanent.

whether Venezuela will arbitrate pend.

refusal the United States will feel free
to take such steps as may be necessary
to secure Justice" "
Which simply means that Uncle Sam
will take Venezuela across his knee and
give her a sound spanking. After
which she will cheerfully arbitrate.

nore of Radium.

Radium inhames the skin and de-
stroys various kinds of life, hut its
place in medicine is yet to be determin-
ed. When it shall have been found
useful, Dr. L. S. LoGdon, a Russian
physician, proposes to make its energy
cheaply available. Experimenting
with various substances, he has shown
that wool absorbs a large quantity of
the radium emanations, and that the
"emabsted" wool produces phySiolog-
ical effects similar to those of radium
itself. The wool, moreover, can be ap-
piled to any part of the body. Five or
ten milligrammes of radium may be
made to energize a large quantity of
wool, and, as the radio.activity ia re.
tanned a long time in hermetically-
sealed vessels, "emanated" wool may
be transported long distances, and may
soon become part of the pharmacist s
stock in trade
