Poor, But Rich.

Once, in New England I was driving with an
old farmer, and some of the of the neigh
borhood came under criticism Speaking of
prominent man in the village, [ asked, "Is he a
man of meahsW
seWell, sir,' the farmer replied. che amt got
much money but he's mighty rich"
'tHe has great deal of land, then!' [ asked.
'sNo, SIR he amt got much land, neither, but
still he is mighty rich"
The old farmer, with pleased SMILE observed
nv puzzled look for moment, and then explain
ed:
"You see he amt got much money, and he
amt got much land, but still he is rich, because
he never went to bed owing any man cent in all
his life He lives as well as he wants to live and
he pays as he goes; he doesn't owe anything, and
he amt afraid of anybody; he tells every man the
truth and does his duty to himself his family,
and his neighbors; his word is as good as bond
and every man, woman and child In the town
looks up to him and respects him. No, sir. he
amt got much money, and he amt got much land
but still he is mighty rich man because he's got
all he needs and all he wants"
I assented to the old farmers deductions, for
thought them entirely correct. When a man
has all he needs and all he wants he IS certainly
rich and when he lacks these things he is certain
ly poor.-The Outlook.

BETTER GRASS FOR PASTURES.

That call flesh is grass" may not be literally
true, but it is true that all flesh profitable to its
producer is made of grass, and that grass in its
most profitable sense is the best flesh food known
Not enough Importance is attached to grass on
the farm, for too many farmers grow the wrong
kind of grass and in the wrong place. They
seem to be contented to grow wild grass IN the
corn field rather than that kind of grass that con-
ains well balanced proportions of protein, carbo-
hydrates, fat, salts, and water, which has been
ordained as the best food for domestic animals.
The hog lot" is fast giving way to the hog pas
ture, while pastures and meadows are playing an
important part in modern agriculture.

CONTROLLING THE BOIL wEEvIL.

Ertonologist Sherman's article on the straw
horny weevil CMay 2nd) reminds us that this de-
tr,ctive pest is first cousin to the Texas cotton
bou Eeevil and there seems to be as little hope
e discriminating one insect as the other. We
notice that the boil weevil has begun operations
earlier than usual in Texas this year, and Ento-
,ooIogist Howard of the United States Depart
,nent of Agriculture, predicts that it will cross
the Father of Waters before the season is over
and invade the State of Mississippi. It will prob
obIv not be many years before it will reach the
Caronas but it is likely that our severer winters
here will prevent its becoming so numerous and
destructive as it has proved to be in Texas. The
latest official deliverance the entire subject is
found in the newly issued Farmers Bulletin No.
216" the first two paragraphs of which sum up
the situation as follows:
"The work of the Bureau of Entomology for
several years has indicated that there is not even
remote probability that the boil weevil will ever
be exterminated. As matter of fact, no inju-
rious insect has ever been exterminated. Some
specics like the Rocky Mountain locust in this
country have died out more or less on account
of climatic influences, and reasonably effective
methods of combating others, like the Phylloxera
in France, have been perfected.
although the very large yields of cotton of
former times may no longer be possible in the
region now infested by the boil weevil, it is en-
tirely feasible to produce cotton at a margin of
profit that will compare favorably with that re-
sulting from the production of most of the staple
crops of the United States by following what has
become generally known as the cultural method.
This method consists of certain marked changes
and notifications of the system of cotton raising,
made necessary by the boil weevil. It was origi-
nally suggested by careful study of the life his
tory and habits of the pest, and naturally any
Improvements that may eventually be made will
be the result of continuation of that study. It
has now been tested successfully large scale
by the Bureau of Entomology, as well as by many
planters, during three seasons. Of greatest ad-
vantage is the reducing of the numbers of the
weevils by the destruction of the plants in the
fall The advantage thus gained is followed up
by bending every effort toward procuring an
early crop the next season"

PERMANENT PASTURE.

Every farmer should have permanent pasture,
depending in extent the size of the farm. Of
course the great permanent pasture grass is
bermuda and Japan clover. Bermuda and winter
Vetch also make excellent pasture;. also or
chard grass and -vetch make an excellent per-
nanent pasture, and so on. These permanent
pastures are of the greatest Importance for the

IL rotation of crops is practiced it enables other
ndS OF grass to be utilized and these can be best

Trying to farm without grass at all.

Grover Cleveland on the Outdoor Life.

Grover Cleveland in the Country Calendar for
May (the first issue of the new outdoor maga-
zine published by the Review of Reviews Book
Co.. says:
"Though the delightful and passionate love for
outdoor sports and recreation is not bestowed
upon every one as natural gift, they are so pal
pably related to health and vigor. and insep-
araby connected with the work of life and com
fort of existence that it is happily ordained that
a desire or willingness for their enjoyment may
be cultivated to an extent sufficient to meet the
requirements of health and self-care. In other
words, all but the absolutely Indifferent can be
made to realize that outdoor air and activity, In
timacy with nature and acquaintanceship with
birds and animals and fish, are essential to physi-
cal and mental strength, under the exactions Of
an unescapable decree

The Divine Healer.

Pope Schrader and his lieutenants,
who were here last week, have taken
their departure. They call themselves
the divine catholic church, with head
quarters at ewJerusalam, Socorro Co.
The following statement was prepared
by Rev. Cordova for publication; At
Ell Paso they have recently organized a
church of thirty-fve members, and an
other at Silver City with a membership
of twenty five. Schrader is the healer
who created sensation in Dever few
years ago, rode through the western
country on a white horse and was at
one time reported dead
But he and his company were all very
much alive while here last week.

The present rage for bringing up the
intellectual brain Of woman TO q parity
with that Of man may be successful,
but It can only be a transfer Of the true
womanly brain from its divine seat to
a different place and function.
Prof. Liner, OF Berlin, has come to the
conclusion that II women are admitted
into competition with men the result
will be a tremendous increase Of
insanity. He finds that the percentage
of women teachers who become insane
is almost double that Of men teachers.
Inquiries were also made about women
employed as telegraphists, sales clerks,
and in telephone service, and furthur-
more with regard to women employed
in Swiss matchmaking. These inquiries
showed that in the occupations mention
ed far larger proportion Of women
than men succombed to mental dis
eases.

Referred to the KnosEsr.

A town that never has anything to
do in a public way is on it's way to the
cemetry. Any person who will do
nothing for his town Is helping to dig
the grove. A man who will curse his
town furniahes the coffin. The man
who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to city affairs
in making the shroud. The merchant
who will not advertise is driving the
the hearse. The man who Is always
pulling back from any public enterprise
throws boquets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy and selfish as to be al
ways bowling hard times peaches the
funeral sermon, sings the dOxOlogy and
thus the town lies buried free from all
sorrow and care. Live Oak County

A New Convert.

Mr.. GRAPHIC: what you chirped
about my slang cut no ice; and when
Jim (he is my huekleberry) Clipped in,
told him to pull down his vest, wipe off
his chin and go'way back and sic down.
But, last Sunday, when the gospel mah
chirped that there was no show for
slang singers in the sweet subsequent
ly. / just took it all in and tumbled to
his racket; and ! vowed from that hour
Id knock off on slang, and cut 1t out.
Do you catch on? well, then. let me
tell you; now listen for dead sure.
From now till | pass in my checks
and climb the golden stair I'm not
going to flip any more dodgasted slang
at you or Jim, or the sky pilot, or any
other man. I'm not Off my base; you
bet. But no more slang in nine.
That's what ails Hammer, and don't
you forget it. Do you hear me chin?"

AWarnInG To riO,Asrs.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months, TO guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule 1t is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old fashioned castor oil, and
see that It Is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has a tendency to gripe. If this
does not check the bowels give Cham
berlin's ChOlic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then a dose Of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked In its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for in
slant use as soon as the first indication
Of any bowel trouble appears. This is
the most successful treatment known
and may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even IN cases Of cholera in
fantum. For sale by ell druggists.

l1Iz.ars in Euprsss Car.

The average express messenger who
runs in these parts often runs against
some queer packages in the discharg e
of his duties. Sometimes be gets mix
ed up with three or fonr different kinds
Of queer things at the same time and a
combination Of that kind turned up at
the local station when the delayed train
was ready to leave for the east. On a
truck standing near the car door stood
crate and in the crate a melancholy
burro, billed to Deerfeld, Illinois,
marked $50 and please feed" Ness
enger please water" keep the soft
pedel on his pipes" and other mOtoes
tending to promote reflection.
In the car where couple Of pups, be.

the burrO and put up mournful howl
as the mocking bird was hoisted, heels
foremost into the car. On anothe
truck stood a sausage mill, billed to
Fred Harvey, at Hutchinson, Kansas
II was labelled" handled with care" and
don't use in transit" As the machine
appeared at the car door the pups be-
gan a duo in G fiat that sounded like the
treble part Of the dead march from
saul, and scarce had they opened up
when the burro let go a wall that caused
the engine to sigh with envy. The
gem of the Rockies ran the strenuous
fermentation and as the car door closed
on the sausage machine, the train Ipull-
ed slowly out, the messenger was heard
to sigh softly "this machine may get
busy, il this keeps up"

ore has been discovered in the Tres
Eermanas Mining District, about 80
miles south Of Deming. The discovery
was made on the property owned by
Messrs. Clark and Mahoney Of this city
by Messrs. Thurmond, Lindaeur & Hol-
mes, who at present have the property
under lease and bond. This property
has been worked off and on for about
twenty years and many car loads Of
good lead ORE have been shipped, but
until recently the presence Of CONNER
cial bodies Of zinc ore was not suspec-
ted.
In his search for lead ore Mr.. Thur
mond noticed large exposure Of pure
white mineral which he thought, from
its high specific gravity, might be lead.
Tests in the blacksmith forge, however,
failed to show the presence of lead.
Mr.. Thurmond brought sample to
Deming and, submitted 1t for identif-
cation to the local assayer, F. H. Ler-
chen, who pronounced it zinc ore Of re-
markable purity.
Investigation showed that the ore oc-
cured In considerable quantity. Samples
of the ore have been submitted to the
principal zinc smelters Of the United
States and all have pronounced it
something entirely new" in the line
of zinc. The nearest approach to the
mineral is ihe Replacement" zinc car
carbonate ore Of the Graphic Mine near
Soccoro, N. M.
The pure white and blue Tres Her
manas ore (which is no doubt a carbo-
nate-oxide zinc) assays as high as $780,
100 zinc and is remarkably free from
impurities.
Mr.. T. p. Donahoe, representing the
CRANKY Mining & Smelling Co. Of Neo-
desha, Kansas and st. Louis, Mo-, came
out, on a special mission, and spent sew
eral days last week on the Clark & Ma.
honey property.
In addition to the carbonate and OK
ide ores there is a good showing of sill
icate of zinc the silicbte carries high
zinc value and is low in iron, lime and
lead. making it very desirable ore for
zinc smelters.
The Cranky Mining & Smelling Com
pany is one Of the oldest and largest
zinc concerns in the United States.
Their representative, Mr.. Donahoe,
made arrangement with Mr.. Lerchen,
for the latter, to represent the CRANKY
Co. in the Southwest, and az a starter
Messrs. Thurman, Lindauer and Holmes
are at present loading a 40 ton car at
Tomerlin, the nearest station to the
property. on the Il. P. & S. W. r. R.,
TO be shipped to the CRANKY Zinc Smell
ter at Neodesha. The ore is purchased
on its assay value at Tomerlin.
From the surface indie ions and
limited development the Clarke & Ma
honey property promises to be a big
mine, and It is to be hoped that such will
prove the case; steady producer, of
any kind of metal, will mean a great
deal for the District and this town.
When we called on Mr.. Lerchen the
other day, we found small car load of
ore on the tables and shelves in his Of
fice. It might be we'll for projectors
and mining men in this locality to study
this zinc ore carefully as 1t is something
new" and very 'unsuspicious look
ing" and might be encountered at any
time. It's good thing to know the
identity of new minerals,
The formation in which the zinc ores
occur in the Tres Hermanas Is crystal
line limestone.
