WANDERING WORKERS.
Many Skilled Mechanics Like to Travel
Over the Globe.


In New York may he found skilled
mechanics who have been wandering
over the globe for half lifetime.
There are few trades in which skill
ed man with the mastery of several
tongues cannot earn living in almost
any considerable city DC the world.
Most of the mechanics who move
thus freely about the world are CONT
mental Europeans. Woodcarvers, stone.
cutters, electrical workers of various
kinds and garment cutters are among
the mechanics that move about most
freely.
The great temptation to such wan
derer is the trip around the world. The
thing is not really difficult. He can
cross this continent probably In few
months. with a stop at Chicago ana
perhaps another between Chicago ana
San Francisco. A stop of few weeks
or months at San Francisco will put
him in funds for the voyage to Aus
tralia.
There are four or five Australian
cities in which skilled man is sure OF
profitable employment After Austria
Iia there are the great Anglo-Indian
cities.
The journey to Europe can be made
with a stop at Cairo II one chooses to
make a little detour. aud then Paris
awaits one only a few hours beyond
the end OF the Mediterranean. Here
are cheap living and good wages. In
few months one is more than equip
ped for the voyage to New York.
One has only to keep sober and know
how 10 save money In order to make
such a journey around the world with
entire success. 1t does not mean I'M
comfortable living. In fact, the jour
neyman must be we'll dressed ana
must present a good appearance to get
on, at the height of the season hardly
any city has enough skilled garment
cutters, for example, and the wander
ers are always welcome when they
reach new town.-Washington Post.

Saloon Keepers Liable.

A decision was handed down at
the recent term OF the supreme
Court OF New Mexico which is OF
interest in all parts OF the Territory
VS.. J. p. Church, an appellant from
the district court of Chaves county
A brief statement of the case is
that the defendant was the owner
of a saloon at Roswell, and during
his absence from his place OF bust
ness his employees allowed minors
to gamble. He was indicted and
tried by the district court OF
Chaves county and made the de-
fence that he had instructed his
employees to allow no minors in the
saloon. He was convicted in the
district court and assessed a fine
$50 and costs. Motion for a new
trial was overruled and the case
was appealed to the supreme court,
where the decision of the lower
court was sustained, being held in
substance that being proprietor ne
was responsible, no matter how
good his intentions were. The de-
cision is regarded with satisfaction
all over the territory OF New Mex
leo as it will render saloon keepers
and proprietors OF gambling halls
more cautious in permitting minors
to patronize their places. Eek.

OF the husks should be- left on each
ear and each days gathering should
be hung up in an airy place by the
husks. IT it is not hung up 10y the

so one ear does not touch another,
as this is apt to produce mold, We
have found by stretching wires in
side a corn crib that two ears may
be quickly tied together and hung
over wires and an immense amount
of corn stored in a crib eight feet
wide and thirty feet long. In two
or three weeks the corr will be
almost absolutely firm, at which
time we believe that it pays to store
it in quarters where freezing and
thawing does not take place. The
thing that we are concerned about
at present is that our readers
should pick their seed and hang it
up as long before the period OF
frost as the maturity Of corn will
permit. Later on we shall have
something to say as to where to
store it and how. Homestead.

my OF seed corn. In the past we
have pointed out the Importance OF
it early and duly dwelt on
this phase OF the question, but we
have also called attention to what
you might call expcdienCy methods
We have always taken it for gran
ted that a certain percentage OF
our readers would not he in posi-
ton to save their corn early, conse-
qucntly the next best plan was adj
vOcatrd. The result OF much obScr-
walton during the last year has con
WINGED us that there is really only
one plan.
IT every corn grower i'll the great
central West could be- offered n pre-
MUM OF, say, Stoo cash il he
could save one ear in such condi-
ton that 100 per cent of the kernels
on the ear would grow next April,
we believe that every corn grower
in the country could win such a
premium. How would he go about
it to save this individual ear? lie
would simply GO to his field after
the corn had matured, but before
the leaves were entirely dead and
OF course before the appearance OF
frost. He would take this ear and
hang it upin a dry,airy place-pos-
sibly in the corn crib or in the
woodshed. 1t would be left there
a few weeks until thoroughly solid
when it would be taken down and
possibly hung up by the husk from
a nail in an upstair room. If this
plan were carried out in detail
there would be no question about
the terminating power of corn in
that a
If one ear can be saved in this
way, why not a thousand, or two
thousand, or even more2 The day
OF corn testing on an extensive
, scale ought to be past, because if a
man knows how to handle one ear
SO that it will grow, any number
cared for in the same way will do
likewise.
To put the matter briefly, then,
We advise every corn grower who
expects to produce a crop in 1908
to take the time to gather his seed
early in the season. Some prefer
even to gather it before it is abso-
ldtely mature, claiming that it will
terminate more rapidly if it is pick
