Practical Tests of Dry Farming.

Five model farms for the elucidation of
the Campbell system of dry soil culture,
will be established between now and next
spring, says the Denver News. J. L.
Donohue president of the Campbell Farm
ing association, has just returned from
the east, and has made all the arrange
ments for the land for the farms. One is
to be located along the lines of each of
the following railroads: the Rock Island
the Burlington, the Santa Fe and the
Union Pacific. The fifth is to be near
Denver, probably just outside the Mont
clair city limits.
81 was never more pleased than in the
manner in which Professor Campbell and
l were received by the railroad officials.
We had but to state our case, saying that
we wanted land for the association, and
our wishes were granted.
"The company will publish magazine.
The firse edition of this is now being pre-
pared. Two thousand copies of the
booklet will be sold to each of the rail-
roads for distribution by them.
"We shall have all the farms going by
spring" said Mr.. Donohue, "but will not
get crops in the first year. Each farm will
be Under the personal superintendent of
Professor Campbell. He will endeavor
to inculcate all the principles of dry farm.
ing at the experimental stations. He will
be aided in this by his books and the as,
sociation magazines.

Here is good fellowship story they is
going the rounds: Give a man a ten.
cent cigar and he will beam all over and
love you for six hours; offer him the 10
cents with which to buy it for himself
and he will throw it in your face. Give a
man pass to show and he will call
you good fellow in all the languages at
his disposal; offer him the money to buy
a ticket and he will call you fool Ask
a man to your home to take "pot luck''
and he will jump at the chance; give
him 81 and tell him to get a good meal
at cafe with your compliments and he
will knock you down. The dollar is
mighty, but it isn't warm. Nothing
chills hospitality and good fellowship
more than teuch of cold metal. You
may spend money on a friend, but you
must not ask him to touch it. Silver
isn't good conductor and You can't
transmit half as much cordiality and
hospitality te friend through the med
ium of a dollar as by means of bad
cigar. Money substitutes for good looks
and good sense with great success, but
can't take the place of good fellowship
worth toothpick.

BOX SUPPER & SOCIAL
Ladies Will Give Entertainment to Defray
Expenses of Repairing Schoolhouse,

The Big box supper for the purpose of
raising funds to pay for the material used
in repairing the school house will occur
Saturday night December 9th and there
will be very interesting program in con-
nection. In addition to a laughable farce
by local talent there will be music by the
best talent in New Mexico and Germany
and readings by artists both local and i'm
ported. There will also be pantomines +,
some of which will make Jim Terry wish
he was back on the ranch in Texas.
There will be one hour of uninterrupted fun
and entertainment and those who fail to
attend will wish they had. The general
price of admission will be ten cents with
no charge for reserved seats.
The curtain will 60 up promptly at 8
o'clock and nobody will be seated during
the exercises so you had better come
early and see it all.
After the program the work of dispos-
ing of the baskets and their contents will
take place and here is where common
labor will stand an equal show with the
skilled artists. There will be two sets of
baskets, one set prepared by the young
ladies under fourteen and the other by the
Older girls. The little folks will have
room to themselves and it will cost the
boys only IS cents to be gallant The
price Of the grown up baskets will be 90
cents and they will be we'll worth the
price. In addition there will be some de-
corated baskets which will be sold at auc-
tion to the highest bidder, thus affording
an opportunity to spend something be.
sides your time.
In addition to helping in good cause
the entertainment will be worth more
than the cost and everybody in the dis
trict should be there. The program will
appear next week.

FAME.

Fame is much like fine cigar;
At first, wrapped as our fellows are,
We all are huddled in the case,
Flanked by the worthy and the base.
The needless pucIic, i'll advised,
Tries all the over -advertised
Glad if it finds filler able
To match the promise Of its label.
Fame's incense RISES sweetest far
At first like the fresh-lit cigar;
And some there be who only prize
Their fame to blow in others eyes
Here's one who puffs behind cloud
OF his OWE smoke, aud scorns the
crowd,
Till he himself becomes so dim,
We know his fame. but know not him.
And still another learns to crave
The fumes till he becomes a slave,
The butt of his own appetite,
Begging of each of us light.
And on them all Fate plays her joke
For what is fame itself but smoke?
Lit for awhile by ntful flashes,
But smouldering out at !ast!-Edmund

New Mexicans in Washington, both

to have won a host of friends here.
The groom is the editor of the News,

and those who don't are merely so much
better off.

How the Stomach and Kidneys

Every day medical science becomes more
