THIRD ROUND
OF CHSE
IN COURT

A replevin case held the boards
at the court house yesterday be-
fore the local justice of the peace
which has attracted wide atten-
tion in the county,, and promises
TO grow bigger as the days roll
by. The case is over three COWS
and couple of calves, and has
already cost both sides more than
double the value Of the animals,
having been through the justice
courts at Pinos Wells and Willard
before coming to Estancia.
In this round G. B. Brown has
replevined the cows and calves,
the same being in the possession
of Benigno JaramilIo, and, ac-
cording to the plaintiff, wrong SO.
A jury was called for and grant
ed, Sam Jenson, Monte Goodin,
Antonio Salazar, Henry Shouse,
G. C. Travis and Barnett D.
Freilinger acted as jurors. The
array Of legal talent was as i'm
posing as ever seen in a justice
court, and often in the district
court. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by F. F. Jennings, of Will
lard, and w. D. Wassou, Of Es-
tancia. The defendant was rep
resented by Rafael Lucero, Of
Anton Chico, and J. W. Chavez
and Federico Chavez, of Willard.
The case was not concluded
when court adjourned yesterday
evening, a night session being
planned to complete the case.

Alcohol SCi6nC6
and Sense

DR.. E. O. Taylor, of Boston, directo
of the Scientific Temperance Fedora
tion, declares the basic principle of tenn
perance reform is involved in the natur
of alcohol, which is not food but
poison, and that among scientific peopl
it's classification among the poisons il
we'll understood. Men drink liquors fol
the sake of the one poison in them
which is alcohol, while all rules of by.
glene require that poisons be eliminated
from foods as far as possible.
DR.. Taylor asserts that scientists con-
slider alcohol narcotic and place it in
the same list as cocaine, morphine and
opium. Alcohol should be treated So
cially and legislatively the same as we
treat the drug narcotics with which it is
classed. This being true, DR.. Taylor
declares The following positions are i'm
pregnable:
l. There is no more reason in modern
science for the beverage use of alcoholic
liquor than there is for the same use Of
opium, morphine or cocaine.
2. The appetite for liquor is as alb
normal scientifically and as inexcusable
as is the appetite of the morphine fiend.
3. There is no more reason in modern
science tor the legalization of the sale
of liquor for beverage purposes than for
the legalizaton for the same purpose of
morphine or cocaine.
A. The saloon, therefore, is as much
out of place in modern civilization as
would be an opium joint and cocaine
den.
5. Alcohol being a narcotic-irrita.J
becomes doubly effective. While Co
caine, being exclusively narcotic, will |
lower the mental, moral and physical |
tone of it's user, he seldom becomes
beyond minor misdemeanors,
whereas alcohol, combining in itself |
both narcotic and an irritant quality,
S apt to make it's users vicious.
The bunting of the spiritual faculty
It once lowers the moral tone of the
nan, and the entire family of faculties
8 carried down roportionately. The
nan is less fitted to serve himself, his
amily, his business, his country. Null
iply this man into enc hundred or five
hundred drinking men in the same COM
nunity, and you will have lowered the
moral, social, domestic and political life
# the whole community. They will
old the balance of power; they will set
he pace for the others to follow; they
will establish low moral standards; will
egin to call evil good, and good evil;
will apologize for social drinking GUS
oms, for breaches of virtue, for cor
upton in politics, for violations Of law,
nd finally, will demand less stringent
egislation on the liquor question to
uit the habits and appetites of the !
rinker.
Dr.. Taylor insists there is nothing
7hatever in the old argument of per-
onal liberty which is being continually
dvanced by the liquor interests. He
eclares that the demonstrated facts of
cience relegate moderate drinking from
ne category of social customs and de-
nand the suppression of the saloon.
he personal liberty argument is quickly
md finally disposed of in the light Of
he classification of alcohol among the
larcotics.

MEAT IN THE SOUTH
Markets of Southwest Receive
Large Number of Hogs.
Driven to Something Else Than Grow
Ing Cotton Farmers Are Finding
Obstacles to Pork Making Not
as Great as Supposed.

The south has not been a country
Of stockmen. 1t is only just beginning
to raise meat-producing animals, but
the markets of the southwest have re.
ceived an unprecedented number Of
hogs the past season from localities
near the Gulf. A few years ago these
sections raised practically no hogs.
But where there is a will there is a
way, says the Breeders Gazette.
Driven to something else besides
growing cotton, the farmers near the
Gulf are finding that the obstacles to
pork-making are not nearly 30 great
ifas they had supposed.
Many plantation owners have adopt
ed the policy Of compelling every ten
ant to raise a considerable proportion
Of the food for his family, and the
feed for his mules. The allowances
of meal and pork and hay and corn
have been curtailed SO as to stimulate
an interest in other crops than cot
ton, and drive reluctant tenants to
learn something about diversified
farming by actual experience. Re-
suits have been singularly successful.

Clean Sanitary FIoors.

Varnish, which is commonly regard
ed only as a beautif1er, is an efficient
sanitary agent. Vanished surfaces can
be cleaned by wiping, and the microbe-
laden dust Is thus kept out of the air,
A vanished floor is therefore not only
up to date, beautiful and easily clean
ed, but is wholesome. The National
Association of Varnish Manufacturers,

are distributing free a booklet entitled
Modern Floors" which tells how
floors may be made and kept whole

Varnish is cheaper than carpet and

~ What fertilizer will suit best
for cotton? (2) What would be the
most suitable and lasting ingredients
TO make this fertilizer? (3) What
quantity per acre should be used to
obtain the best results on ordinary
land? (4) What is the best implements

G. H. Kinston, N. c.
~ The fertilizer best suited to
cotton on your land will depend on
the previous cropping of the soil, the
mechanical condition, the humus con-
tent OF the soil, and the plant food in
the soil. If you have been growing
crops of cowpeas, soy beans, or other
leguminous crops, it will not be nee
essary to apply a fertilizer that con-
talns much nitrogen. II the soil is
Hull OF humus and thoroughly pulver-
lied, the application of a fertilizer that
contains large quantities of humus
Is not necessary. II the cotton goes
to weed on the land, 1t Is necessary
to apply fertilizer very rich in acid
phosphate. If the cotton grows small
and fruits we'll, it is necessary to ap-
ply a fertilizer rich in nitrogen.
There is n way and only one way
to find out Just exactly what fer
dlizer is best suited to cotton on your
land, and that is by experimenting.
Apply potash on six rows, acid phos.

elements may be made on other sets
Of rows.
(2) Cotton seed meal, acid phos-
phate and kainit.
(3) The amount Of fertilizer that
can be p%roftably used on soil depends
mainly on the mechanical condition
of the soil. If the soil is thin, COM
pact, devoid of vegetable matter, and
has never been broken more than two
or three inches deep, 1t is not advis-
able to apply more than 200 pounds
per acre. If the soil is deep, thor
oughly pulverize for from five to ten
inches deep, and full of vegetable mat
ter, 1t will pay to apply from 800 to
1900 pounds per acre Oh your cotton
land. Cotton is a high price now, and
1t will pay to make heavy applications
on cotton land.
az If the soil is full Of vegetable
matter and thoroughly pulverized be-
fore planting, only narrowing, sweeps,
and c~ultivators should be used. In
case of continued rains for two or
three weeks 1t may be necessary to
use a turning pillow to bury grass. If
it Is necessary to use a turning pillow
TO stir the soil or to clean out the
crop late in the season, by all means
avoid deep cultivation and cultivation
close to the cotton. And be sure and
use cultivators or harrows a few days
after using the turning pillow to thor
oughly pulverize the soil and to make
a dust mulch If possible.
