Assessment $1,000 900

County Assessor Howell re-
ports that the total assessed val
uation of Torrance County for
this year will be about one and
a third million dollars. This is
an increase of about twelve per
cent. over last year and an in
crease of about twenty-six per
cent. over the year 1868. The
assessor and board of county
commissioners are working in en-
tire harmony as proven by the
meeting of last week. Every
raise suggested by the assessor
was approved by the board. The
work will show in the more equal
assessment and the reduction of
the tax rate.

PUMP|N WATER
FOR IRRIGATION
Small Centrifugal Pump throws Hundred Gallons Minute and
does not lower Water Supply Perceptibly. Will Irri-
gate Eight Acre Plat, providing
Water in Abundance

The News man went on a tour
of inspection Wednesday, TAX
ing in Tuttle's Pumping Plant
and the new Courthouse Driving
out to Mr.. Tuttle's home just
west of town, the pump was
found working full time, throw
ing full two and a half inch
stream of pure water. with great
force. The we'll was dug twenty
feet deep, and drilled Ill feet,
making a total Of 131 feet. AT
the bottom of the dug well was
placed a Gould Centrifugal pump
with pipe twenty-five feet long
extending downward into the
drilled we'll. A five horse power
Fairbanks-Morse gasoline engine
is used to run the outfit. The
pump was throwing about a
hundred gallons of water per
minute, and irrigating four rows
of potatoes across the field at
the same time.
That the supply of water is
plentiful is shown by the fact
that the pipe in the we'll extends
only for.v-fve feet below the
surface # the ground. T h e
pump had been running four
hours d, d hal not lowered the
water supply perceptibly, prov
ing that the water raised in the
we'll as rapidly as it was beir G
pumped out. Mr.. Tuttle has eight
acres of ground under cultivation
besides his house plots, which lie
will irrigate from this we'll,
The cost of the whole outfit
was about S425,00, including

Improvement at Park

A much needed improvement
has been made in the last few
days at the springs. Mr.. Cum
ningham, Roadmaster of the N.
M. c., superintended the work.
The upper spring, that is the one
farther west, was cleaned out,
walled up and covered, and the
pipe connected, which conveys
the water to the railroad shops.
The next spring east of that, was
thoroughly cleaned out down to
the rocks. A large circle of brick
and cement was laid extending
out some distance from tn e
spring, and built up in the shape
of an inverted funnel, which
closes in tight around an up
right galvanized iron pipe about
six feet long, which reaches only
few inches above the graded
surface. In this standpipe, is
placed a screen, about 2 feet be-
low the top, which will catch any
thing that might be dropped in
to the water. A short spout is
connected with the standpipe,
through which t constant stream

age ditch. The space around these
springs, which has heretofore

nant water, has been fi,l.d with

,huts out all surface water. While
much remains to be done, in the
way of beautifying the park, the
work already done is a good step
in the right direction.

L0CAL Rh|NS
VISIT VALLEY

A thunder shower on Wednes-
day afternoon, accompanied by
quite a little hail, freshened
things up, purifying the air and
settling the dust 1t is reported
that north Of town the shower
was heavier than here. While
by no means sufficient to wet the
ground to any considerable depth,
the moisture will benefit growing
crops by keeping them growing,
and any moisture during June is
lust so much gained.
The Estancia news. [volume] (Estancia, Torrance County, N.M.) 1904-1912, 1910-06-17

Local showers have fallen the
past week in different portions
of the valley, but none were
heavy enough to be of much
special benefit. On Sunday after
noon a fairly good shower fell
southeast of Estancia in the
neighborhood Of the lakes. East
of Mcintosh the ground was re-
ported as wet to a depth of an
inch. In Estancia the dust was
about laid, while south of town
the water stood in the roads.
While June is usually the dry
month, indications are that local
showers may continue.

Poultry in the Valley.

Of all the cranks in the world
perhaps the poultry crank is
the most foolish. Be that as it
may there is only one sure cure
for a person who becomes thor
oughly affected with the chick
en- fever and that cure is abso-
lutte failure in the business. You
had as well try to convince the
man in the moon that HALEY S
comet is made of wood as to try
to convince the beginner in the
poultry business that his calling
don't pay. Wherever you see
this fellow and every time you
see him until after he has drunk
the bitter dregs of failure he will
talk to you about chickens. When
he once realizes that he has made
a failure he becomes a scoffer
whenever he hears the word
chicken mentioned.
Away back in the glimmering
dawn of the writer's memory,
when the writer himself was a
toddling tot. scarcely old enough
to be out of the cradle, he had
his first attack of chicken fever
and has been afflicted with it
more or less ever since. The
date Of this attack was some-
where in the neighborhood of the
time when Grover Cleveland took
his seat fot the second time in
the White House,
Moving from country to town
at an early age, and attending
both school and college for fifteen
years it was not until 'eXiled by
fate" to the barren but fertile
plains of New Mexico that he
became an owner of poultry.
The poultry business is as yet
in It's infancy in New Mexico.
Fowls as a rule that are brought
from low attitudes must become
acclimated, and tn en- raising
chickens in a dry country is quite
a different task from bringing
them up in place where the
spring months are damp,
Here in the spring time we
have not the gapes to contend
with but in the winter we have
the deadly roup. The timber
neck does not bother the chick
ems here, but scaly legs are seen
in almost every pen.
The hawks have made their
appearance but as yet their dam
age has been slight.
AS the years go by and poultry
cranks increase in number and
their experience becomes more
varied these obstacles will be
overcome and the hen Will find a
permanent home in The Land
of Rest.
