The first thing a man has to learn

thing worth while in politics, is to
keep his shirt IN; the second thing he
should learn is never to get tired. and
the third thing he should learn is that
he doesn't amount to much anyway.
The trouble with reformers is that
they think their withdrawal from the

DEMINo DRILLING FOR
ARTEsfAN MATER SUPPLY

ARTESfAN WATER SUPPLY
The city of Deming is after Artesian
water and begun drilling a well to
make a test Of the matter. The Dem
ing Graphic comments on the efforts
as follows:
The machinery for the drilling for
artesian water was started up yester-
day n the old earth will be tapped
until artesian water is found or every
possible evidence has faded away.
The work is not started on altogether
guess work as there are living facts
to s~ubstantiate and back up the be-
lief that ~artesian water will be discov
cred. However, should it turn out
that the water is not to be gotten,
veil know just exactly where we are
at and must resort to some other me-
thod of turning b Mimbres Valley
into the great agricultural country
that it should be and is destined to be
one way or the other. Pumping plants
or getting the government interested
in h construction of a dam across
the Rio Mimbres would be still open
to us and either would be a practical
solution of the problem.
But artesian water is what we
van and there are many of our peo-
pie WHO believe we will have it inside
of thirty days"

they are not a personal asset. They
must come as the resul of popular
education, and unless the people are
behind a reform, no matter how just
it is. no matter how badly it may be
needed, it will not come. A lot of re-
forms are frost bitten by reason of
having got out too early in the spring.
Reformers get in a hurry. The ev-
erlasting justice of the thing they are
after seems so plain to them that they
cannot see why the people are au-
tious-and properly so. When the
people get ready they will act, and al
though the reformers may sputter and
fuss they won't hurry the people. The
glacier can't beat the housefiy to a
given point, but the glacier stays when
it gets there.
A great many good things are too
good; and you can't impose justice
on a people not ready for it any more
easily than injustice can be imposed
on them when they are tired of it.
The government of this country will
move along, about as the people wish
it to move. And the thing for re-
formers to do is. not to get angry at
the politicians and officers and lack
eys in the service of the people, but
to go to the people. arous them, edu-
cate them, appeal to them in the lame
of justice, and then wait-let your ap-
peal soak in; if you are right, your
seed will spring up.
There is a dead line over which re-
formers too often cross and become
common scolds. A scold gets little
done. The thing for reformers to do,
is to scold as little as possible: be as
patient as possible and know that in
the end right will prevail, and if the
Lord can stand the injustice of this
world, you should not worry about it
just keep plugging away, and hop
ing for the best. For in the end the
best will come. The world is growing
better, and the reformer who has no
faith should get out of the business.
The only fun in the business comes
from the faith which is the evidence
of things not seen and the substance
of things hoped for.

TWO FARM HOMES.

We passed two of them the other day-two farm homes-between which there was such a contrast that the diff ferences were most striking. The house lot of the one was inclosed by neat woven wire fence, which ef- fectively kept the chickens and other farm animals out of the flower beds and vegetable garden. In this case the house was neatly painted, was equipped with screen doors and win dows, while a roomy porch was also closely screened so as to protect the inmates of the house from flies and mosquitoes. In the neatly kept flower beds within this inclosure there were roses, asters, nasturtiums and dahlias. The machinery was slowed away in sheds near the barn, and the pigpen was located out back of the barn. In the other case the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese were shut inside the house lot, which was shaded by a dense growth of soft maple and willow trees and in which not weed or spear Of grass was growing. There were pig troughs. swill pails and flies by the hundred in the vicinity of the front porch, where the bed of tea roses should have grown, while the various agricultural implements had been run In among the trees and furnished con- venient roasting places for the tur- keys and chickens and on which the young porkers could scratch their backs to their hearts content. There was an air of desolation about this latter place that must have been felt by the inmates of the home if 1t af- fected them at all as 1t did passersby. While 1t was not possible to view the interior of either of these two homes, it is quite safe to say that the general condition which prevailed on the ex- terior of the two homes must have existed on the interior also. There was an air of thrift, neatness and com fort about the first place that was in striking contrast to the slovenliness and woebegoneness of the second that was noticeable In the extreme, furnish ing a very definite object lesson to all who passed that way.

TOO FAR NORTH.

An acquaintance of the writer has recently returned to his old home in the States after a very discouraging experience up in the Alberta country, in northwest Canada. He was lured to the far north largely by the low price at which land could be bought, but did not realize until after he got located that his wheat was likely to get showed under in the spring after 1t was knee high, while the season was so short as to hardly permit of maturing it During last winter
 which was especially severe. most of his stock froze to death in bowling blizZards or starved to death through to get food, the frantic ani- range coming into town by the hun dreds and pre-empting every possible building which would afford them pro- tection from the wind and bitter cold. After giving the country a fair trial for some three years he has return ed to his old home and, while virtual ly strapped from the financial point of view, Is glad to be among his old friends and in country which, while 1t has its extremes of temperatures, Is not so forbidding as that of the far northwest. The experience which our friend has had may be useful to some others who have the moving fever and have about made up their minds to go into the far north to seek home.

SECOND SPRAYING RESULTS.

SECOND SPRAYING RESULTS.
 With the harvesting of the apples in the writer's orchard it is possible tc make several observations touching the results which have been attained from the spraying which has been given during the present season. Two early sprayings given before the blos- som buds seem to have resulted in an almost complete eradication of the ap- pie scab, which was a very serious matter previous to last year and was not entirely eliminated by the spray ings given last season. A thorough spraying given just after the petals fell in May and two subsequent treat ments at intervals of about five weeks reduced the apple worm to such an extent that less than 5 per cent of the fruit was affected with the worms of the first matching, while a still smaller per cent of fruit was attacked by the second brood. With apples bringing the price that they have this year the val ue of the spraying cost, includ- tion, not more than S120-has been not less than S70O or $500. The outfit used was effective, but not costly. 1t con- sisted of substantial POO gallon tank
 on which was mounted a two cylinder hand power pump, with which a noz- gle pressure of from seventy-five to a hundred pounds could be maintained most of the time. The filling of the tank and the mixing of the chemicals were relatively simple matters. A satu- rated solution of bluestone was kept on hand, a little more than six gal Ions of this kind being used to furnish the necessary amount for POO gallon mixture. The tank was half filled with water and the Limestone solution add ed. The equivalent of ten pounds of lime, which was slacked in a forty gallon barrel, was next diluted to fifty gallons and thoroughly mixed in an ordinary vinegar barrel before being added to the tank. This was repeated in order to get the desired amount, 200 gallons. While the prussiate of potash test was always made to ascertain If there was an excess of lime, the test seemed to be unnecessary, as the lat ter element was always in excess. An arsenate in the form of paris green was added to each tank and thorough ly mixed in and kept carefully stirred while the spraying was being done. About five tankfuls, or 1000 gallons, were required to spray some 2,S00 trees, about three days being required to cover the orchard, using a single lead of hose and q double Vermorel nozzle. While the difference between sprayed and unsprayed was not so striking this year as last, it was never theless marked, being noticeable espe- cially in the size and healthy appear ance of the sprayed fruit and in the control of the sooty blotch, which was one of the striking defects with the fruit from unsprayed trees. To sum- marize, spraying simply enables the fruit to reach and maintain a normal and healthy condition and to effective ly resist the attacks of its numerous enemies. It is quite likely that spray ing will pay in orchards that are small, while there is not particle of doubt about 1t in case of those which arc extensfva
