Makes Living Worth While.

Hon. Celestino Garcia is among
our most progressive farmers and
there are few who give more at
tention or take more interest in
their farm. He constantly strives
to improve what he has and raise
the best. Timothy is taking the
place of wild grass in his meadow
the best of potatoes, cabbage,
beans, corn, etc, grow in his
garden, in which he takes great
pride. However, what he appre-
ciates most highly is the modern
conveniences of his residence. A
wind mill and elevated tank sup
plies his premises with stock water
and water for house use and his
bath room and his house through
out is lighted with acetylene gas.
We have a few others who are
seeking to improve as fast as pos
sible but they are in the minority.

GARDEN NOTES.

The tomato crop this year is very
good, the vines are bearing heavily
and producing the finest possible
quality of fruit.
Judge McCunnitf, he of the
smile that seldom gets dim, waltzes
into The Chronicle office the other
morning wearing four inch dahlia
in his button-hole. 1t was of a
variety called the Egyptian Queen,
very dark red in color. The Judge
sports different button hole
bouquet every day all from his
own garden.
Hon. l.. A. Norland is entitled
to the blue ribbon when it comes
to raising celery, his product being
the finest imaginable and as crisp
and tender as it is possible to con-
ceive. He has but small patch,
nevertheless it furnishes all he can
use and supplies his neighbors and
friends as well No better celery
was ever grown and if Mr.. Norland
cared to raise it for market he
could sell every stalk for a big
price.
At the county fair, held at Ala
mosa this week, the exhibit of gar
den truck was especially fine
Squashes of immense size and OF
exceptionally fine quality in all the
varieties, attracted great deal OF
attention from visitors, as did all

earth. but now we think different.
This season from currant bushes
three years old we gathered from
each bush twenty quarts of as fine
currants as | ever saw. We have
two kinds, the red and the white
English currants. We have no
trouble with insects and the quality
is most excellent-we sold our crop
for 12II cents per quart and found
the demand good"
The Brothers garden at Sanford
is just now a thing of beauty and
well worth trip to see. Especially
for those who may have doubts
about raising some kinds of garden
truck in the San Luis valley. The
Brothers garden contains about
everything that one can imagine.
If you go there you can see ripe
tomatoes, vines loaded with them.
You can see big patch of the finest
celery, cucumbers, squashes, pump
kins, beans, peas, caulitlower, tur-
nips, parsnips, carrots, sugar beets,
onions, just name it and it's there.
They have $500 head of mammoth
cabbages. They are cutting sweet
corn and drying it in the sun the
way grandmother used to do. If
you are anything of a stranger in
this community trip to Sanford
will do you good.

potatoes, turnips, sugar and table
beets, carrots, onions, etc. 1t did
ones heart good to note the ex-
pressions of amazement on the faces
of the easterners when inspecting
these products as they had never
before seen such Il display of veg
etables in their own states.
While viewing Mrs. Annette
Christensen's splendid garden the
other day, and paying especial at
tention to her squash patch, she
replied to our inquiries as follows:
Il don't think squashes need IA
great deal of work. If you pull
the weeds out one time and stir the
ground a little that will do. To
make nice squashes of good size it
is not necessary to have the
ground too highly fertilized. Yes,
that one will weigh 40 pounds or
more. pointing to another
one-is just as large" Mrs. Chris
tensen would be pleased to tell any
one who may enquire all about how
she raises such fine squashes and
other vegetables in almost endless
variety.
Mrs. c. H. Rasmussen, of San
ford, in speaking of raising cur
rants here, has the following to say
Il was born in Utah and lived
there till my father, with his
family, came to Colorado about %
years ago. We had learned to
think that for vegetables and small
fruits Utah was the best place on

TO LET CONTRACT
 FOR PRINTING

Little Rock, Ark, May 2S.-Next Tuesday the contract will be let by State Printing Clerk Earle w. Hodges for the printing of the last eight vol- umes of the Supreme Court reports. This will cost the state about &. .OOO. about 1000 volumes being printed, and in return for which the state will receive $1.500 losing 50 cents on each volume printed This discrepancy was reported to the last legislature and furnished heated debate for sey- eral days, but nothing was ever done toward restifying it. The reports are printed now with much more fre- qnency than in former years. Be- fore Judge J. M. Hill took charge of the Supreme Court as it's chief jus- tlce, the reports were issued at about the rate of :: for each } years, but since he was made chief justice the reports have been printed at the rate or more than every two years. The cause for this is the much greater work done by the Supreme Court, and the additional number of opin- ions rendered.

MUST FURNISH r.
 @.a' RAILROAD CARS
Governor Approves Miller.Littlc Bill' Fixing Time Within Which Roads Must Fill Orders for Cars. Where Written Notice is Given.

Little Rock, Ark. May 2..-Two bills were approved by the governor last afternoon, one of them being bill of no little importance to the State Railroad Commission. It will not only enlarge the powers Of the commission but will vastly increase the burden of duties on that body. The measure is the MillerLittle bill, and provides that the commission shall establish a system of inter- change and exchange of cars between the various lines operating in this State. anu establish system of re- ciprocal demurrage. The law also establishes a scale of date@ within railroad company must furnish cars to a shipper, provided written notice is served on the agent. For TEN
 instance where five cars or less are wa..ed, three days notice, in writ ing. is sufficient and failure to so provide the cars is regarded as prima facie evidence of the violation of the law. For an order of ten cars. or more than five, the agent must have live days notice and for an order of more than ten cars eight days mo- tice is necessary.
 For failure to furnish cars the rail- road company ,may be fined from S1 to $100 for each offense, and each days neglect for each car is equiva- lent to a separate offense In addition to the powers above named, the commission is empowered under the act to require the railroad companies to erect union stations at junction points, where the conditions justify such action.
 In the matter of furnishing cars the new law does not repeal any c( the existing laws relative to the ob- i ligation of the railroad to furnish cars without written notice, but the 1 penalties of this act are applicabl9 only where written notice has been served.

ChEAPENINC THE
 FREIGHT RATES
Judge Trieber Settles the Coal Rate and Switching Charges at Confer ence Held in Little Rock.

ence HeI0 LII LItle nOCh.
 Little Rock, Ark, May 2S.-Judge Trieber yesterday afternoon again went long way toward cheapenlnS the freight rate in Arkansas when he settled the coal rates and switching charges. The railroads and the Ar kansas Railroad Commission, after some pointed suggestions by Judge Trieber, got together on new tarn which will go into effect June l.. but which will not stop the state from fighting out to the end the suits now in the Federal courts. The rates are a. tentative agreement only and last for only a year, or while the suits are in court. The two sides could not agree on coal or coke rates, ana switching charges. though it was thought the matter had been settled when the two sides met with Judge Trieber yesterday. Appearing before Judge Trieber the squabble began all over again and taking the matter in hands he adjusted it in short order. On a switching haul of not over three miles,, he fixed rate to be $50 per car, from to } miles, $4; and from , to miller S. per car This is rec oned on the minimum weight of 3O,- 900 pounds per car. and all over that will be charged for in proportion. Next came the coal rates, and they were as easily adjusted. For one line hauls Judge Trieber added 25 per cent to the old commission rate for the first 12O miles. 20 per cent in- crease for hauls over 120 miles and not over 200. and 15 per cent for all hauls over 200 miles. On different shipments, or where the shipment is handled by two or more lines. and the point of designation in not com petitive point, the carriers are per mitted to charge an additional 15 cents per ton On account of the re- cent heavy increase in coal rates. the new ones are received with great re- lief by the coal operators, as it again allows them to control the Arkansas market. The rates are only for in- tra-state shipments.

Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable
cold weather record and is known as
1.-The year without a summer" In
that year there was a sharp frost in
every month. and the people all over
the world began to believe that some
great and definite change in the earth
was taking place. The farmers used
TO refer to 1t as hteen-hundred-and-
starve-to-death." Frost, ice and snow
were common in June. Almost every
green thing was killed and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During the
month snow fell to the depth of three
inches in New York and Massachu-
setts and ten inches in Maine. There
were frost and ice in July in New
York. New England and Pennsylvania
and corn was nearly all destroyed in
certain sections. Ice half an inch
thick formed In August. A cold north
wind prevailed all summer.
