Poultry IN the Valley

There was time in the history Of poul-
try when an incubator was looked upon
with an evil eye and even to this good day
we hear people say, "Oh, you can't raise
chickens with an incubator Well. per-
haps you can't, but chickens can be raised
with An incubator just the same When
it comes, to doing that, though, one has
quite task on hand. When we do away
with the mother hon we must be to tho
little chick from the time the egg is put in
the incubator to the time it becomes u
feathered chicken VIII 'Old Biddy'
would have been.
This things are mentioned at this time
for the reason that there are only few
incubators in the valley, but the day will
come when the number will be larger.
The average person in the valley looks
upon chickens with disgust. What is the
use of fooling ones time away with such
insignificant things as Chickens they say,
."when we have whole quarter section Of
lano." If that is the way you look at it
then you had better not bother with chick
ems. chickens don't pay" says another,
but they do pay whether you think they
do or not. Yes, they pay right here in
Estancia Valley, where every ounce Of
food they eat has to be bought, but to pay
they must be fed and fed well,
A great many complaints are heard
these days Of chickens dying, but the
writer has had only two chickens to die
Of sickness that were over three years old.
Both Of these were roosters and one of
them had the ,,quick cholera While the
other was affected with the oanker,
One had bettsr be on the watch all the
time through the hot days Of June for the
lice. Better far, however. to take an
ounce or two Of prevention and keep the
frisky vernin out OF your hen house alto
gether.
There seems to be tendency this year
for the little chick to dry in the shell.
Some advocate wetting the eggs Just be-
fore they are due to hatch and this seems
to be very effective way Of les,ening
the trouble.

The complaint therefore asks
that it's mortgage be decreed a
lien upon all property of the de-
fendant railway and railroad
companies; that in case of default
the property be sold in its entire
ty under decree of the court; that
a receiver be appointed during
the pendency of the suit; that a
writ of injunction be issued to
restrain the defendant railroad
company, its officers, directors,
agents and all other persons from
interfering with, transferring,
selling and disposing of any of
the property Of the defendant:
and praying for such other relief
as the case may demand.
1t is rumored here that this
foreclosure suit is the preliminary
for closing negotiations for the
purchase Of the New Mexico
Central Railroad Company, in
cluding the Albuquerque Eastern
and other subsidiary properties;
that the probable purchaser pro-
poses to construct Immediately
upon taking possession, the
planned extension from Torrance
to Roswell, from Moriarry to the
Hagan coal fields and to Albu-
querque. If this rumor is cor
rect, then this action is of the
greatest consequence not only to

The Pioneer Spirit.

G. F. Meek, of near Moriarty,
was in Estancia Tuesday. He
has been in the valley four years.
has done very we'll and has come
to stay. Mr.. Meek displays the
right spirit for a pioneer. Men
who are here now, and who were
in Oklahoma at the first settle
ment of that country, say that
while scme of the people here
have had to endure hardships,
which is true of every new coun-
try, the hardships endured by
the settlers here will not match
those endured by the early set
tiers in Oklahoma, Kansas or
Nebraska. They tell us of SOW
ing wheat in Oklahoma and losing
three successive crops, and the
fourth was bumper, which put
them away ahead Of the hounds.
Don get the blues! While parts
of the valley will probably have
to be irrigated in order to assure
a crop every year, yet it is a fact
that we have plenty Of water
with which to irrigate. With the
improved dry farming methods,
more than half of the valley can
and will raise fair crops without
irrigation. The grass belt will
care for cattle, sheep, horses and
mules with almost no expense
Almost every one of the very
best of states has had its failures
or partial failures of crops. Don't
get blue. Keep a stiff upper lip,
God helps them who help them
Selves not those who whine.

The ancients had a saying that
"Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad.' In view
of the actions of the railroads of
the country in the last few days,
don't it seem to be a case in
point? James j. Hill predicted
an enormous increase of railroad
business this fall, necessitating
an outlay of fifty million dollars
on the part of the roads to pre-
vent congestion in handling the
immense traffic, and yet in the
face of this expected increase in
business, they insist on an in
crease Of rates of from 10 to 80
per cent. They have been en-
joined by the Government, and
they retaliate by calling off pro-
posed Improvements, canceling
orders for material, discharging
quite a number of employees for
the sake of economy, etc., etc.
They claim that it is necessary
to increase rates on account of
the increase in salaries paid to
employees.

Has Beverage hid it, or has Andrews did

Please, where is our Bill, oh, where?
Where is cur wandering Bill tonight,
The Bill we were told would go?
Is it far from the fold or just pigeonholed;
Oh. why is our Bill so slow?
Where is our wandering Bill tonight,
The Bill that was going to pass?
Is it busted, or cracked, or only side.
TRACKED?

We would love to be shown where our Bit

Oh, where is that Statehood Bill?
