Dry Farming.

From all over the west the farmers
answered Denver's invitation to spend
the last week in January with her, and
they were thsre by the thousands.
The closing hour Of the third quaterly
convention Of the Campbell System Dry
Farming association were marked with
enthusiasm.
President Andrews paid a tribute to
Campbell. ranking him with the great
est inventors and naming him as one
of humanity's noblest benefactors. He
said in part:
What do we do in dry farming?
We kill capillarity at the surface by
keeping the top soil continually in the
form of a mulch. Start in early spring
and go around your field with a double
disc, letting the discs lap half. This
man Campbell made a machine which
makes the soil fall down ward and side
ways, packing it hard and leaving it
porous. Then harrow; after this use a
roller, and last, plow deep, deep. deep,
every three years. Harrow after every
rain, keeping the weeds down, because
they suck up the water. The most i'm
portant thing is to create and maintain
humus. This humus is the peculiar,
vital principle Of prairie soil For cen
turies grasses and plants have grown
and decayed, going back to mother
earth and this is natures wonderful
provision, because humus is the bridge
between the minerals in the soil and the
organic properties useful forplant food.
Dry farming is the greatest industri-
al resource Of this country. 1t will
build up population in the west that
will be the pride Of this republic. We
may toll for the ends of this system as
patriots. | anticipate a splendid con-
quest Of millions Of acres, covered with
the homes Of thrifty, happy and pro-
sperous population.

Peter G. Murphy, after more than
quarter Of century of steady employ
ment with the Santa Fe company feels
that che time has come when he should
cease from toll and take his ease for the
remainder of his life. The gentleman.
thefore, has resigned from the service
Of the company for which he worked o
long and faithfully, and last night han.-
de over his insignia of office to his sue
ecssor. -Ex.
What's the matter with Murphy? In
the company's service twenty-five
years.
Why, our townsman Mr.. T. A. Carr
Master Mechanic, can beat Murphy's
record by eight or nine years. He has
seen almost thirty-four years Of contin-
Gus service for the Santa Fe company
and is still good for another decade Of
hard work.

A sexagenarian club has been organ
lied in Los Angeles. Whether any OF
our old ex-Demingites have united we
we are not informed. II not they GER
tainly don't know what they are losing.
To combat the idea that all men over
60 years of age ought to be chloroform-
ed, 1t is the purpose Of the society to
challenge the sour visaged old maids in
petticoats, and the old granny doctors
in pantaloons to fight to the finish.
The club will soon publish challenge
to all old maids in America who are
afflicted with the microbe of misdirect-
ed thought, leading them to the conclu-
sion that all men over 60 ought to be
killed, to meet the members Of the sex
agenarian club in battle array, and see
which side can hug the other to death.
The contestants among the medical
profession need have but one qualifi-
cation, that they think men who are
past go ought to be chloroformed. The
medicos, so called, may be of any age
provided only that they have the medi-
cal diploma and are afflicted with the
microbe of misdirected thought. They
shall meet the sexagenarian club in
equal numbers, lined up in battle array,
each one armed with a sponge of at
least five ounces in weight when per-
fectly dry, and then thoroughly satura-
ted with chloroform. Each party shall
see which will chloroform the other.
The old maids turn will come first in
the hugging match, and the chloroform
process will follow Immediately after.
The seXagenarians are absolu'ey sure
that they can WIN in the first combat,
and they have just as much confidence
that they will get away with the sec
ond.

The SaItOn Sea.

Salton Sea is known to have appeared
and disappeared Ave times within the
last three. quarters of a century. The
sea first put in appearance in 1923. 1t
returned in 18l9' and was seen by per.
sons hurrying to California to find gold.
1t was in existence again during the
Civil War, in 1862, and re-appeared
in 1891 1895.
This information is gathered from an
article by DR.. d. T. MacDougal in the
bulletin Of the American Geographical
Society. The article is entitle "The
Delta of the Colorado" 1t is illustr; =
ted and contains maps darwn by God
frey Sykes, who is now Tucson resi-
dent.
The article states, referring to Salton
Sea; According to Indian traditions,
this create basin has been filed to the
brim in times past, abounded in fish, and
people lived in many villages along its
margin" DR.. MacDougal states that
the temperance Of the ancient sea as
a permanent feature is by no means
among the impossibilities. "

VAIsntins's Day.

st. Valentines day is no modern in.
vention. It's observance began very
early in the christian dispensation. St.
Valentine was a ROmish priest who
gave protection to martyrs, and was
himself punished therefor by the Ro-
man Emperor Claudius II.
In every succeeding century the saint
has been honored by varying customs
in all the countries of Europe. In Eng
land began the fashion of sending true
love knots" TO ones sweetheart on the
morning Of valentines day. To trace
tn seivsnce of the day from En-
gland to this country and to the pres
ent time is easy.
Forty years ago we looked for a
billy dux" on valentines day. 1t was
usually sheet of scented note paper on
which was written something like thh :
Round is the ring that hath no end.
So is my love to thee my fri nd.
Your Valentine"
And then I'VE boys" would retala,e
on the supposed sender, who, OF course
was sweetness incarnated, with SOL e.
thing about this style
Thou dost haunt my waking dreams
That now so bright on fancy play,
The daring thoughts that soar sublime
Are all for thee.
Your Valentine"
This exchange of gush and slush
would usually continue for several days,
sometimes or month, to the benefit
Of Uncle Sans postal department, and
to the disgust Of the postmaster al
every one connected with his office, be-
cause of the crowd Of expectants that
were constantly awaiting their turn at
the general delivery.
Then came the malodorous so called
comic valentine, satirizing persons Of
every age, condition, profession, rank.
vocation and avocatiOn, causing the re-
cipient to shed contempt, anger laugh
ter or tears. The comic valentines are
crude, ugly, brutal, a step, not for
ward but downward, and for the gooi
of young America We wish they would
disappear forever.

Old Times.

The great gold rush to California he.
gan in 1919. In the summer of that
year $50 wagons bound for California
crossed the Missouri river At st, Joe in
six weeks. The first mail route west
Of the Mississippi river was a monthly
stage line from Independence, Mo-, to
Salt Lake, 1900 miles. The first great
continental stage line was the Butter
field Southern Overland Mail" Its
route was 2, 729 miles, from st. Louis
20 San Francisco, via FL Paso, Yuma
and Los Angeles. The time was twenty
five days; the round run, ffty.one days.
The first coaches started simultane-
ously from st. Louis and San Francisco
September Is, 1858. The through fare
was 500 in gold; letters ten cents per
half ounce. Seven hundred and fifty
men were employed. Russell, Major
and Waddell employed 6, $50 wagons and
$4,000 oxen in freighting across the
plains in 1869. Fifteen thousand pounds
was awagon load, with six yoke of oxen
to the wagon and twenty-six wagons to
he train.

Startling But True.

People the world over were horrifed
on learning Of the burning Of Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, vet more than
five times this number, or over 3. 600
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these
cases Of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use Of this remedy.
The following is AN instance of this
sort; Zoo much cannot be said in
favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and especially for colds and influenza.

Laura, of a severe cold, and | believe
saved her life when she was threatened
with pneumonia. " w. D, Wilcox, Lo-

Stock Report.

Special to the Deming Graphic.
Stock Yards, Kansas City, Mo-, We'd
nesday Feb. IA, 1906. Shipments Of
cattle from the range country have been
scattering during the last week and
prices have advanced l5 TO 25 cents on
all classes in that time. Most Of the
stuff received from far off territory has
been stockers and feeders, some good
feeders from Colorado going at A.4O to
S4.75, stockers at $3.50 to $40, while
fed steers fIom the Southwest sold at
$4.45 TO $4.S5. A few bulls at $3.50 to
1925, some Gamers cows at S2l0 %
S2.75 few heiters at $500 to $3.50,
complete the list. Thecattle run today
is heavy at 1900 head, but all classes
are selling strong and active, with de-
mand good and prices the highest of any
time since January LIST. Packers fear
that supplies are going to drop oil, and
are keeping stocked up to the limit, aud
Of course, their active buying is reflect
ed in the strong demand from the
country. AS spring approaches, country
buyers always become more active, and
this season they have the added incen-
tive of a record breaking demand from
packers, with the knowledge that feed
ing operations are now on a money
making basis, and with fiattering pro-
spects ahead.

-askson. Miss, March 1S-Judge ,eAlton B. Parker of New York, deliv- cred a speech on Democracy before A joint session of the Mississippi Leg islature at the Century Theatre today.
 Judge Parker reached the city last night from the gulf coast, where his family is spending the winter.
 During the early forenoon he was an interested spectator at the Legislative proceedings and later both bodies ad- journed to the Century Theatre.
 The former democratic nominee was introduced by Chief Justice Whitfield of the supreme court.
 An audience of about 1000 people was assembled.
 It would be more than ungracious- it would be unpardonable-in me not to tender to you my heartfelt thanks for the opportunity thus afforded. to meet in joint sesiOn the two DouieS which, together, constitute the legts- lative power of a great and progress sive State.
 I come to you today from another mart of our common land in many re- spects no less divergent from your own in traditions and in history than m the special problems to be solved Tn the life of our time, from a State whose neople are honestly determined, as l know you are to ind the right answers fo them and. at the same tune, to dedl in a helping and generous way with those abuses which, whether they may inhere in our system, or be due 10 the frailty of human nature. must be cor rooted because they are the lot or heIl- fage of all our people.
 Our common history has been sealed py union strengthened even hy armed dls- cord. and emphasized by all the aspira- tions toward popular liberty Whlle
