Things all cut Town the crop yields,

The matter of draft in plows is a
science in itself. 1t has much to do
with the cost of the work. If one plow
can be pulled by two horses and an
other pillow of a different form re-
quires three. the former will do the
work cheaper. Draft makes the diff
erence. The pillow with the steep
moldboard has the greater draft, as
the furrow slice is ben and pulver-
lied more and of course entails moro
work. Deep blowing requires a great
err draft, as does also the turning of
heavy soils.

Mysterious POISONING.

Prof. George NJ. Lummis, of Mesil-
la Park and teacher of physics il the
New Mexico Agricultural college, is
in Carlsbad as a witness in the case
of Daugnerty VS.. the Pecos Valley rail
road. While there he is also investi-
eating the causes leading up to the
several cases of mysterious poison
ing alleged by some to have been ptO-
maine and by others to have been
alkaloid or vegetable poison, which
came SO tragically last December in
the families of A. NJ. Howe, secre-
tary of the Water Users association,
by which Mr.. Howe lost two bright
little girls and with his wife is still
suffering from the effects of the pois-
oning. Four members of the family
died at the same time on Toyah creek
near the town of Toyah il Ell Paso
county, Texas The poison, which is
insidious in its action, has baf1ed the
skill of all local physicians. The the
DRY of alkaloid poison has been neith-
established nor disapproved. Old
residents of the valley say there is alb
solutely 40 danger from this form of
poison if no milk is drunk except that
taken from COWS which are kept up
and fed throughout the winter, thus
avoiding all danger from eating the
alkali weed. Professor Lummis' il
vestigations are awaited with inter

THE SAD, SAD STORY OF
GENTLEMAN FROM ARTESIA

hOiOSDuI
The gentleman from ArteSia county
was aot a member of the legislature,
but he attended the sessions with
great regularity, and had many ex-
periences during his stay in Santa Fe.
He gained mucn experience, and is
wiser than he was last fall. Perhaps
his most thrilling experience occur-
e a few night before the legislature
adjourned, and it vas not at the cap
itol building. He was taking a walk
by himself with only the light of the
crescent moon to guide his steps. His
thoughts were of the Pecos Valley
where the artesian wells grow, and
he paid little attention to mis- sur
roundings- Suddenly he realized that
he was looking down the muzZles of
a couple of full-grown six-shooters,
and was being invited to throw up mis-
hands which he promptly did. The
noldups relieved him of his watch. his
roll and the stick pin in his tie. On
closer examination one of them be-
came enamored of his overcoat and
he was invited to take it off which he
did.
The suit of clothes looked good to
the other, and he was told to get out
of them, which he did. 1t was then
observed that he was wearing a fine
suit of SILK underwear, and he was re-
lieved of them; in fact stripped to the
buff. The holdups warned him not
to move or give an alarm for at least
five minutes or he would be killed,
and started away. One of them turn
ed his head to see how his victim was
standing and noticed that he had not
gotten all. He rushed back and with
a grab and a pull, detached the pOr-
Gus plaster from his victims C
was something familiar about
this last touch that deprived him of
mis- last possession, yet he could not
it exactly. However, his cur
iosity was aroused, and he turned and
asked his d~espoilers: Are o fell
lows members of the council, or the

The Science of Plowino.

Good blowing may be classed as a
science. This is not understood, how
ever by all who hold the pillow 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
a 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 pillow is essentially a tillage
too and has two purposes to perform
viz, to alter the texture or physi-
cal condition of the soil and to ove
or bury beneath the surface, manure
weeds or other vegetation that may
be on the surface. Now as to what
form of pillow 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 a steep moldboard and the work
be done when they are a little
over wet rather than too dry.
If the soil is of a clayey nature
close il texture a pillow with a less
steep ~moldboard is advisable and the
layers should be cut thinner than the
former case, so hat they will form
larger granules and make the soil
more porous. The sleeper the mold
board the finer the soil will be pulv-
If you have a 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 han if it
plowed with a less steep mold
board. Should the soil be a little too
use he latter form of m~oidboard
and cut a snallower furrow.
1t will thus be seen hat where a
man has a soil that is naturally wet
and of a heavy nature the one form
of pillow should be used to do the best
work, and where the soils are 1atur-
ally open and porou the other will
answer best. The same pillow will not
give equally good results with these
two soils.
The soil must be studied not only
for blowing but for all forms of til
age.
Where it is possible and it is usual
course, never pillow until the soil is il
the rop condition-that is, not ov-
erly wet nor overly dry. Take a hand
'ul of the soil and press it firmly and
if it forms a ball that does not crum-
