Enemies to Oyster.
There are many enemies which prey
upon the oyster. The drum fish is very
fond Of young oysters as is also the
starfish The former delights to find
a planted bed, for there the oysters are
smoother and 1T is easier to crush the
shells often they will invade a bed
and practically destroy it before their
presence is discovered.
The starfish travels in great schools,
at speed of about SEQ feet a day. 1t
begins it's work of destruction when IL
is no larger than a pin head. and keeps
it up all through life 1t attaches it
self to the oyster and by persistence
finally succeeds in firing it out and
forcing an entrance for its stomach.

Artificial Propagation.
Some success has attended the ,arti-
ficial propagation Of the oyster and also
the fattening of them by the use OF corn
meal and other substances But in the
main the best results have been OBJ
tanned by the planting OF seed oysters

cause it is illegal. No man ever gam
hles but he is a criminal to the law Of
the land The law recognizes that
gambling is taking that TO which you
have no claim. Only fair exchange is
no robbery Taking money that be-
longs to others is stealing. Gambling
is theft with the stripes of. A gambler
is a thief in heart, who thrives by the
loss of others.
Gamblers are seldom industrious mer
in any useful vocation Labor loses its
relish as the passion for play increases
F Business depends upon cool head
clear judgment and self control
Gambling like fever destroys all these.
Nobody Wants Gamblers
No man engaged in legitimate trade
would take a known gambler as part
ner Every one Of you would count it
good reason for dissolving a partner
ship if your associate was known to
be gambling. Not a man would en-
plov a known gambler as a clerk in
trusted position, and every employer
would dismiss an employee If it became
known that he was gambling. The first
instinct of business is self preservation
and gambling is destruction
BUSINESS is all the time struggling
TO do away with uncertainty: gambling
caters TO chance. The stocks that are
listed highest are those whose man
agement is safest-jnto whose traffic
the least of chance enters
Every gambler sooner or later goes
to the dogs. Money that costs him
nothing means nothing. Easy come.
easy go.
"Luck and Science"
Mon talk of luck or science in gamh-
ling. and while there is the chance in
anything 1T is the height of folly TO
talk Of any even game in gambling

the play for a moment, and coolly CAL
culate the chance you have Of winning.

Every merchant is in some sense
speculator and It may be just as legiti-
mate TO deal in railroad stocks as In
dry goods. Stop legitimate speculation
and you might as well shut up all
shops Legitimate commerce Is con-
tract betwee irresponsible parties, an
actual exchange of equivalents.
The value of commodity does not al
ways depend upon the schemes of CAPT.
talists, but upon the temper OF the
toilers. It depends upon the railfall
and upon the wind that bloweth where
il Isteth. So that no man can know
certainly the value of a commodity or
a security a month hence. But any
man may balance the probabilities and
form an opinion, and when he has
formed an opinion he will be very like
ly to find that somebody else has
formed a different opinion and those di-
vergent opinions both quicken and reg
uIate the commercial exchanges upon
which depend the stability of our in
dustrial and social order. A business
should not, therefore, be called gamb-
ling simply because it is attended
with risks.
Business and Gambling.
How short and easy, however is the
step which takes one over the line
from gambling. That step is taken
whenever man, instead of using his
foresight to guide him in the exchanges
which he is to make in the worlds
markets, backs his judgment as to what
values will be week or a month hence
by a deposit which is in substance
wager 1t then ceases TO be an ex-
change which may benefit both parties
and becomes a bet. bet in which one
mans gain is another's loss.

PUMP IRRIGATION.

Editor FL PaSO Herald
Apropos of Mr.. Fortier's talk 10
the chamber of commerce Thursday,
there are some points in his talk that
are of great interest TO this section.
Mr.. Fortier stated that there are
10000 pumping plants in operation in
California and he urged the adoption
of that plan in the Rio Grande valley
Irrigation by this system IN California
is devoted almost exclusively TO fruic
and vegetable raising. and the water is
pumped from wells so to 500 feet deep.
The profit from fruit and vegetable
growing in that state is so large that
land there is worth from $500 TO $500
per acre. Although the total profits
are small and the average quality Of
the land is very much below that OF
this section. both mesa and valley.
the prices they realize from all
vegetables and all fruits are about one
third as much as are realized here
To illustrate: The same size boxes
of berries that we pay an average OF
Is cents for, are sold there at pa cents
a box retail while the prices for vege-
tables bear the same ratio to our prices
Wages are higher there than here and
the cost Of everything except fruit and
vegetables as great as here
Fertility of Land
The average fertility of the land Ia
much below our land. as shown by the
average crops grown from year to year.
In California's palmy days so bushels
OF wheat or barley per acre was con-
sidered phenomenal. while II is an av-
erage here No such prices were real
lied for hay as the average here. Thess
are simply the facts, and vet there are
many persons known as business me-,
IN the community who insist that con-
1ltlons here do not JUSTIFY such state
ments. and that farming and fruit
growing are in the experimental STAGE
and that the future prosperity Of this
section is dependent on the building OF
the Elephant Butte dam.
That 1t viii he of great and lasting
oenent TO this section is fully aopre-
Grated Dy all. but the contention thar

dependent on 1t is not admitted by any
