FROM NEW MEXICO.
A Former Citizen Of This County Writes
To His Friends.

EDITOR RECORD:-For some
time | have thought of writing
note to the Record. 1t is a well
come visitor to our home every
week that we are always GLAD to
get. 1t brings news from the old
home; some sad, some good, the
death of friends and relatives,
and keeps us posted as to how
old Sharp county is getting along
in general,
We left there two years ago for
T9Xas, where we lived one year,
and moved here to New Mexico.
This part of this country is called
The Plains,-a high, level prai-
rie, with nc timber and covered
with thick coat of grass, which,
however, is short. This has been
the stock mans country, but the
nesters are driving them back,
One year ago filed on land here,
and at that time there was only
one house in sight. | did not like
the prospect much, for | had no
neighbors and thought | would
be by myself. Now there is a
house on nearly every 16O acres
near me, and | do not know of
vacant quarter near me. People
from all parts of the United States
are here, but | have one neighbor
from independence county. This
is the prettiest and best land |
ever saw for what it is adapted
to, and that is everything that
grows in Arkansas except cotton.
This is not good cotton country.
We have the soil, but the seasons
are too short and the nights too
cool. We raise corn, wheat, oats,
kaffir corn, milo maize, sorghum,
melons, beans, peas, pumpkins,
potatoes and all sorts of garden
stuff en- sod land without cultiva-
ton. | will not say any more
about the land or crops here for
fear some good man will want to
leave Sharp county, and you
need them all, especially election
year.
| notice the boys had a hot
time this year. | was much in
terested, and would make my
ticket regularly when the Record
arrived. l suppose Clerk Sulli-
van is we'll of the itch, else |
would send him remedy. What
has become of the Hon. E. B.
Andrews? Have the wild cats
caught him? We need him down
here in New Mexico to help US
get statehood.
I want to compliment your
writer's from Reeds Creek and
Mobley, as their letters are very
interesting to me. 1t seems that
Cave City is silent. | suppose
they are charmed with the new
railroad whistle.
We live six miles from Black !
Tower, which is a town on the
new Santa Fe Railroad, in Roose-
welt county.

TEA DRINKING IN INDIA.

The question of drinking tea was
practically unknown among natives
up to IL years ago. Government
servants were the first to take it up,
and it is at present principally used
in this class. Gradually its use ex-
tended to village landlords, and even
to the more well-to-do cultivators
and village officers, especially within
the last three years, the example OF
railway irrigation employees having
materially assisted its introduction.
Some castles have a special liking
for it and drink it even three or four
times a day.

The railroads of the entire coun-
try are entering upon an era OF
rigid economy. Plans as now ma
tured will decrease the expendi-
lures from eighty to a hundred and
twenty million dollars below what
it was last year. Increased cost
of labor, scarcity of materials, and
an increased difficulty in securing
capital with which to carry on i'm =
provements and extensions are
some of the principal causes for
this retrenchment.

Something of the New AIco-Fuel

Something of the New Alco-Fuel.
There is no question but that the
removal of the duty from dens-
tured alcohol was one of the most
important measures of the last ses-
sion of congress. Indeed, it was
80 designated by President Roose-
welt in a recent address, he plac-
ing the passage of this bill among
the four acts of supreme impor-
lance to the country.
To the farmer the increased use
of this product as a fuel is of two
fold signi6cance-frst, as to its
manufacture, which calls for pro-
ducts of the farm, it being distilled
from the potato, from the corn, etc,
and because of it's promised use
fulness al a motor force in the
propelling of machinery.
There is little doubt that this
alco-fuel, as it is called, will er e
long supplant the more expensive
gasoline and kerosene. The fact
that it is to be furnished at small
cost Will lead to the invention of
all kinds of apparatus for it's use.
Indeed, there is already con-
siderably activity in this direc-
ton and it has been given out at
Washington that the department
of agriculture will make an ex hibit
at the jamestown Exposition next
year of the new alco-fuel and it's
uses that will be most gratifying
TO those interested in the country's
progress.
1t will be shown as the motor
power in the running Of both
household and farm machinery
and fortunate will be those who
can attend the great fair that is
projected and see and study the
product under auspices SO favor
able.
