One of our young professional
men, who is sadly in need Of q
companion to assist in keeping 9
home what it should be, has
been in consultation with the
probate clerk and minister the
past week; with the result that
the deputy clerk has offered to
issue the license gratis, while
the obliging parson has kindly
consented to give his services
gratis to help along the good
work. The young man is now
ready to enter the matrimonial
arena, but for one thing, which
is the fact that the bride-to-be
is not at hand. The News man,
not to be outdone by either she
clerk or parson, has consented
to advertise for the bride. ANY
young lady, who would care to
investigate the matter Of taking
care Of a home-not . mere
shack, mind you-but a dssir.
able home, may call at the News
office and learn further particu-
lars. Someone can and no doubt
will accept this generous propss.

Advance In Education

A recent issue of q Boston
paper has the following to say
concerning New Mexico:
From all accounts New Mexj
leo Is striving hard and success
fully to overcome at least one Of
the arguments raised against
her admission into the sisterhood
of states. A resident of the
territory for the last twenty-five
years has just put into writing
his testimony that a vast i'm
provement has taken place there
In the last few years, and that
this improvement promises to
continue until in the matter of
education New Mexico will be
able to bear comparison with
any of the western states.
This writer found when he first
became . resident Of the Terri
tory, that the natives were con-
tent to plow with q crooked
stick drawn by a cow; that they
were content to scratch the
ground two or three inches deep
with the burrows a foot or more
apart; that the native children
had no schools, and that the
native parents were utterly in
different on this point. Now.
he tells us, there are common
schools all over the Territory.
There is . territorial university,
an agricultural college, a normal
university and a normal school.
'It is pleasing to find these
and other statements made in
this connection fully supported
by the latest official statistics.
From these it appears that New
Mexico during the last decade
has made truly wonderful pro. d
'gress in every particular, and in
no way more strikingly than In
the matter of popular education.
Although the progress of edu-
catisaal work has been some-
what hanpered by the presence
Of twp languages in general use.
the last report made BY the
Goyernsr n the subject must be
regarded as highly satisfactory.

China's Craving for knowledge.


Foreign consuls in Chinese cities,
missionaries in all parts of the Chi
nese empire, merchants in the Chinese
ports, and travellers who study China
agree in reporting a new hunger for
knowledge-the kind of knowledge
which has made the nations of the
western world great and prosperous
and strong. The Chinese are willing
and eager to go to school to America
and Europe, in a sense which was
never before true of any large part of
the population. There is general
recognition of the value and need of
western training for the business OF
life.
The significance of this change is
easily perceived, for it must result in
great quickening of the vital cur.
rents of national life, in country OF
400 100000 inhabitants. 1t means
more strength in war and better prog
ress in the arts and industries OF
peace. It will make China more for
midable to other great nations as q
and enrich the Chinese market fol
European and American products OF
possible rival, and it will also widen
many kinds.

ARRANGING PRICE OF HORSE
Farmer, Who Is the Greatest Con.
sumner, Fixes Value Of Animals,
Instead of Shipper.

The agricultural use of horses shows
liberal increase annually. The order
of commercial trade has been reversed
in the past decade, says the Drovers'
Journal. Only few years ago the
great wholesale markets established
prices, but to-day the value of horses
is appraised by farmers, who are the
greatest consumers. If the farmer
needs horse he outbids the country
shipper, and the animal goes to take
it's place in operating farm ma
chinery, instead of use in the city team
ing industry. Shippers find them.
selves competing against the farmer
for industrial chunks where farmers
formerly competed with each other to
sell their surplus to country shippers.
It is no longer the sales at wholesale
markets that establish prices, but rath-
er what the farmer, the great con-
sumer Of horses, bids for the animal
for personal use.
There is marvellous agricultural de-
velopment in progress in the north
western states and the Canadian north
west, that has wonderfully increased
| the demand for horses for farm work.
Dollar wheat and 70-cent corn and 9TH
er agricultural products correspond
ingly advanced in price have revOlu-
tionized husbandry and stimulated the
breaking up of vast areas of virgin
soil, as we'll as encouraging more sci
entific farming in old agricultural dis
tricts. This expansion of agriculture
and the great profits realized from hus'
bandry have broadened the demand
for horses for farm use. A new era
has dawned on the farm, where horses
and machinery do the bulk of the work
in tilling the soil and producing the an
nual crops. The farmer is master OF
the situation, as the profits of his
profession justify him in paying high
err price for horses than is possible
for the city consumer, who a score o.
years ago established the commercial
value of horses. The prosperity o.
the farmer is of vital Importance tt
the horse industry.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Cold air will not injure sheep, but
a wet coat and a cold wind may prove
as dangerous as it would with any
other animal.
Never make your colts or horses
face blank, dark wall all the time
while in the barn. Give them plenty
Of light; 1t Is better for their eyes.
Blind the hogs that have the habit
of eating chickens by hanging a strip
of tin, four inches by eight inches in
size from their ears. This will stop
them when almost everything else has
failed.
Keep the sheep in out of storms, but
let them run out every pleasant day.
II any of the ewes seem weak, sep
arate them from the flock and give
them extra care and feed until they
grow strong. If any seem delicate,
fatten them and send them to the
butcher.
Don't be in hurry to dispose of the
old SOW If she is good one to raise
pigs, she will be profitable to keep
until she is seven or eight years old.
The newborn colt must have milk
during the first half hour of its life
or the chances are that it will die
See that the colt is strong enough tc
start the milk. If it Is not, help it.

room. The hay loft will hold hay for
seven or eight horses for quite
while. The structure is 26x32 feet
square, IL feet to the caves and 26 to
the peak. The hay loft is filled through
the large door shown in the gable and
feeding is done from above, through
chutes, one for each stall. However,
hole may be left over driveway, for
dropping hay down if you desire. The
driveway is ample in size for gather
ing the manure, and for hauling In
straw and bedding. The interior ar

HOW TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA
Poor Food and Bad Care Causes the
Disease-Practical Way Of Pre-.
venting It.

Hog cholera is largely due to bad
care and poor food. Give the hogs
good grass pasture, with shade and an
abundance of pure running water. A
light feed of fresh millfeed slop may
be given twice day If the pasture
is short. Mix one handful of salt in
one peck of wood ashes and spread it
on clean sod twice a week. In the
west the following is given as a pre-
ventive to herd of so half-grown
hogs every other week when cholera
is prevalent in the neighborhood: Tur-
pentine, one-half pint; mix it in the
water, give it every second week;
Venetian red, one pound; mix it in the
water every alternate week.
Cholera affects the bowels most, and
swine plague most affects the lungs.
Cholera in swine is very similar to ty.
phoid fever in man. DR.. w. B. Niles
of Iowa says: ITO prevent hog cholera
or swine plague, so manage your hogs
as to prevent their coming in contact
with other hogs. Keep them from all
water save from deep wells, protect
them from visits of strangers and dogs,
and before introducing new hog into
the herd keep him quarantined for 80
days some distance from the herd.
If the disease makes it's appearance in
the herd burn every dead hog at once
and remove the healthy ones to fresh
grass pasture. Use disinfectants
freely; whitewash pens, fences and
troughs with hot lime. Mix two
ounces of carbolic acid in each bucket
| of wash or wash the boots and cloth
| ing of attendant with hot water and
| plenty of SOAP"

bers of cooperative beef ring as
portioned by butcher.
The hide, head, heart and fat 60 to
the man who provided the animal. An
accurate account is kept of the weight
of each animal and of the quantity
that each member receives per week.
Twenty persons can be arranged for
by allowing full portions to those with
larger families and half portions to
others who have small households.
The parts are distributed in rotation
so that each member will obtain a
boiling piece, roast and piece of
steak each week.
