The Science of Plowino.

Good blowing may be classed as a
science. This is not understood, how
ever by all who hold the plow handle.
There are too many evidences of poor
work which prove to the contrary.
Practice and experience, with close
observation, will do more to make
good plowman than a whole bookful
of advice and rules. There are no ex-
act rules to go by and those that can
be given are only general and must
be modified to suit conditions. Every
farm presents a different condition
from evey other one and there are
many forms of plows which must all
be taken into consideration.
The plow is essentially a tillage
tool and has two purposes to perform
viz, to alter the texture or physi-
cal condition of the soil and to cover
or bury beneath the surface, manure
weeds or other vegetation that may
be on the surface. Now as to what
form of plow will best do this in each
case will depend upon the amount of
moisture in the soil, the character of
the soil, as to whether it is sand clay
loan, etc. There are certain forms of
plows better suited to certain soils
than to others. For instance, soils
more or less sandy should be plowed
with steep Iaoldboard and the work
should be done when they are a little
over wet rather than too dry.
If the soil is of a clayey nature
and close in texture a plow with less
steep moldboard is advisable and the
layers should be cut thinner than the
former case, so that they will form
larger granules and make the soil
more porous. The sleeper the mold
board the finer tie soil will be pulv-
erized. If you have soil that is too
dry and it is plowed with a steep mold
board and the furrow cut deep the
slice is cut thinner and by being bent
more will break up finer than if it
were plowed with a less steep mold
board Should the soil be little too
wet use the latter form of mofdboard
and cut a Snallower furrow

Roswell's team defeated the New
Mexico Military Institutes fine team
in the opening matched game of the
base ball season at Amusement Park
yesterday afternoon by the close score
of three to two. While there were
many errors and the game could new
er be described as "snappy," it was
an interesting contest for the reason
that the result was in doubt till the
last man out in the ninth
1t was largely a pitchers battle,
as a large part of the work was done
over the home plate. Captain Hester
of the Institute team, struck out ten
men, but did not depend entirely on
mis- arm for results. He worked out
his team and showed them up in
splendid style, the team work of the
cadets showing up magnificently as
compared with their opponents. The
cadets showed the result of seasons
of practice and drill, and for this
they were universally complimented.
For the town boys Tommy Chinn. of
the Little Rock team last year and for
merly of Missouri made good all the
promises that had been made relative
to his strong arm. He struck out
seventeen men, the catcher dropping
three of the third strikes, and allowed
but three hits that were in no manner
connected so as to make and earned
run possible. 1t was his work in the
box, together with the batting of the
Roswell team that won for them the
game Every player on the Roswell
team but one got a hit.
The first man up to the bat for Ros-
well was Ed Johnson. He got down
on an error at first and was brought
in by two hits in quick succession,
one by Nichols and the other by Chinn
After this play no scores were made
until the fifth, when the Institute
stepped up to the plate and evened
up the score by sending Morrison to
first on an error at short, the runner
stealing a base, running to third
while the catcher was picking up a
dropped strike-out and running home
on an error at first.
The town team did not let the score
stand a tie long for in their half of
the fifth they scored again, in this
manner: Kennedy went to first on
an error at short, stole a base and
scored on a two base hit by Johnson.
n the eighth the cadets took q
hitch in their belts and again tied the
score when Crowell got a hit, went
to second on an error at second and
ran the rest of the way around on
errors in right and at short.
When the town team went to the
bat in its half of the eighth Wilson
went to first on an error at third.
stole second and ran home on a clean
hit by Ashenhust. thus winning the
game. for in their half of the ninth,
the cadets could do nothing and the
last half of the ninth was unnecessary
The game was a little slow at times
on account of the rag chewing" that
came up and nothing is more tiresome
to a base ball audience The manage
ment realizes that good clean base
ball is the key to success il carry
ing out a base ball season and they
propose to stand for notheing else.
But this Objectionable feature will be
less noticeable when out-of-town teams
are here, contesting with a home ag-
gregatio7.
The shortness of the right field was
not noticed in yesterdays game, not
a single ball being hit over the fence

The Colorado War.

The trouble if 1892 and 1898 in the
Occur d. Ale1es was followed closely
by the Cripple Creek strike of 1894.
The men employed in the great gold
camps demanded a minimum wage of
three dollars and eight-hour day. The
fight continued over four months and
resulted in a victory for the unions.
This event marks the first and the on
ly time in the history of the country
that the militia was not arrayed
against tne strikers. Directed by the
Governor Davis H. Waite, the sold
iers were with the miners who op-
posed the army of deputy sheriffs
and thugs VINO marched up Bull hill
and then marched down again"
The next important controversy was
the Leadville strike of 1896 and 1897.
Nearly all of the mines il that district
were paying three dollars a day. And
knowing that the operators intended
to reduct the wages, the miners took
the initiative and on June 1886,
declared a strike on all mines paying
$3.50. This involved only about one
fourth of the men employed Almost
Immediately the other operators clos
ed their properties and locked out
their employees, throwing out Of en-
ployment nearly 5000 men. Mcintyre
then incumbent of the gubernatorial
chair of Colorado, while in perfect
sympathy and accord with the mine
managers, did not dare order out the
troops to Leadville without some pre-
text The coveted opportunity came
with the explosion that wrecked the
Coronado snaft house, an abandoned
property. 1t seemed of sufficient i'm
portance to the executive of the state
and resulted in military law for Lake
county The usual high handed pro-
cedure of military officials was consid
erahly suppressed by the indomitable
viii and courage of Judge Frank w.
Overs, a staunch advocate of justice.
Every effort possible was made by the
mana gers to break the strike, men
were shipped in from the lead mines
of Missouri and other places, but the
mines could not be operated with any
degree of success. For eight months
the miners stood firm, even under con
tinued and oppressive surveillance.
In February, 1897, work was resumed.
Leadville is the only camp of impor-
tance in Colorado where the eight
hour day has not been established.

(By Secretary VIM. D. Haywood.)

On May Is, 1893, forty-two dele
gates assembled in Miners Union
hall at Butte, Montana, and organized
the Western Federation of Miners
The unions represented were those OF
Aspen, Crede, Ouray and Rico, Colo
RADIO; Butte, Belt Mountain, Bannock
Barker and Grants, Montana; Burke
Gem and Mullan, Idaho, Central City
and Lead City, South Dakota, and Eu
reka, Utah. These were all the min
erS' unions in existence at that time
with the exception of Virginia City
Nevada, and probably one or two oth,
ers. The convention was called to
order by John Macleod of South Da'
kota, temporary chairman. AS a re-
suit of the meeting the organization
was made permanent and designated
the Western Federation of Miners of
America. John Gilligan was elected
president and w. J. Weeks, secretary
treasurer.
The preamble as adopted breathed
the spirit of manhood and determina-
ton that burdened the breasts of the
sturdy miners gathered in the Copper
City for the purpose of federating
their strength and to prevent further
encrOachment upon their rights. Stung
by the lash of oppression in the hands
