Homesteaders Rolling In.

The returns from the five Ian d
Offices of the Territory for the
fiscal year just ended, show that
another 10000 homesteaders
have filed upon New Mexico's
public lands during the past
twelve months. This is now the
third year that this record has
been maintained and there is
every likelihood that the present
year will see similar growth for
there are still more than 40, 000,-
600 acres of public land remain
ing in the Territory, although
6,000, 900 acres have been filed
upon during the past three years,
while quite a number of those
who have taken up homesteads
the past three years have aban-
doned them and the number of
contests pending is very large,
yet, it can be safely estimated
that from homesteaders on the
public lands alone New Mexico
has added $1,000 inhabitants
this decade and has quadrupled
the acreage under cultivation in
The census year of 1900. Few

ing attention to the fact that the
young of the San Jose scale are
just commencing to appear.
They are sulfur or lemon yell

grams of corn meal. They crawl
for the first day or two, and then
fix themselves forever by sinking
their long lash.like tongues into
the tissues of the plant They
can never afterward let loose nor
be scraped off without being

is during their young and free
moving existence only that they
are carried from plant TO plant,

trees or cuttings.
While young they are delicate,

pllcations, such as for plant lice,
strong solution of soap or to
bacco, or an 8 per cent. kerosene
emulsion. AS soon as fixed they
commence to secrete a waxy Gov

ed. Being sucking insects,
rather than chewing arsenical
poisons do not affect them.
The great difficulty in fighting
the San Jose scale is that the
young do not appear at once, but
a number are born each day con-
tlnually for about a month, and
these grow rapidly and soon com.
mence likewise to produce by
bearing llvlng young. This makes
the total annual increase appear
almost incredible, amounting to
over three billion IN one season.
The parent IS so well protected
by the hard she'll that nothing
but strong contact sprays will
kill it, and if such sprays be ap-
piled when the plants are in leaf
the foliage will be destroyed. To
kill all the young the trees should
be sprayed at least twice per
week for over a month to reach
the limit of reproduction by the
original parent.

any horse which cannot be regu-

that no such disabled horse shall
