WAR MAY SOON Be At END
Proposition to Arrange for an ARM
istice is Favorabiy Received by
Supporters Of President Diaz.

Washington.-A proposition for an
armistice pending peace negotiations
has been made to the Mexican de-
partment of foreign relations, DIR.
Vasques Gomez, representing the in
surrectos at Washington, and a reply
has been sent indicating that it is
received with favor. This is the out
growth of the battles at Aqua Prieta.
both sides fearing foreign con1iica-
tons would result from continuation
of the conflict.
1t is reported at Mexico City that
hostilities may be stopped within the
next few days and that negotiations
for the restoration of peace will be
begun Immediately.
One of the terms imposed by Fran
cisco 1. Madero. jr, head of the insur-
r~ection, is said tt be the resignation
of President Diaz within five months.
The Mexican minister Of foreign
relations has sent a message to Wash
ington expressing regret for the cas-
ualities in Douglas in connection with
the fighting at Aqua Prieta, but dis
claiming responsibility of the govern
ment therefore.
President Taft is greatly relieved
by the new developments, feeling that
the p~rotestations from the Mexican
government are made in good faith.
The rebels evacuated Auga Prieta
Monday night because of the exnaus-
ton OF their ammunition supplies and
the federals Under Lieutenant Col
onal Reynold Diax ooh possession of
the place Tuesday morning without
opposition. During the day another
force OF 500 insurrectos approached
the place, evidently supposing 1t was
still held by their comrades, but they
halted when the garrison opened fire
with field guns. This force is com
manded by Juan Cabral, an insurgent
leader who has won important vic
tories in Sonora
but the advance guard of Madero's
army of 800 men is at Bauche, twelve
miles south of that city. Madero him
self is said to be at that point. With
him is Pascual Orozco, who threatened
Juarez several weeks ago.
Madero has disarmed a force of $50
men who were about to raid the NOR
mon c~olonists near Casas Grandes
and has arrested their leaders.
Francisco /. Madero, ST.. left Chi
huahua Tuesday in a special train to
meet his SOL the insurrecto chief.
but as the latter is now in the vicini-
ty of Juarez, the fathers mission may
prove unsuccessful.
Fourteen American and two Ger
taken prisoners by the federals
in the battle as Casas Grandes
reached Chihuahua Tuesday in Gus
tody and will be tried there. They
say they have been as well treated
as they could expect.

USE PUMP FOR lRRIeATlNe
Some Practical Suggestions by New
Mexico Farmer on Pumping Wa
ter With Small Engine.

Some days ago | read an article an.
swering a query in regard to putting
In a small irrigation outfit to water
two acres Of garden. Practically all
the water we get In this region (Co-
lumbus. N. M Is lifted by a pump OF
some sort. and in the light Of expert
ence in this method Of irrigation I
would offer some suggestions which
will help the man who has the cour-
age to take charge Of weather condi-
tons in the event that rain falls to
fall, says a writer in the Rural New
Yorker. The two-inch pump and IN
horsepower engine will take care OF
the two acres nicely. furnishing about
125 gallons per minute at a speed OF
500 revolutions II properly lined out
The installation will be more simple
to use the foot valve on the suction
pipe and keep the pump above water.
IL there is danger of debris in the
creek sink a box around the suction.
II would be an expensive mistake to
use a two-inch pipe for 200 feet and
work the little engine against 30 much
friction. A three-inch pipe connected
to the pump by a reducer and run up
at IN angle Of 45 degrees to a vertical
height OF Is feet arranged to empty
into a wooden fume which connects
with the garden will avoid excessive
speed Of the water and also do away
with most Of the pipe. The suction
should be at least 2h-inch pipe. II
this is not suited to conditions use
four-inch pipe from pump to field.
This may be made of heavy galvan-
lied pipe material and reduced to the
twoinch connection on the pump. but
the fiume will be more satisfactory If
1t can be used. The flume may be
cheaply made with two boards put to-
gether. pig-trough style, and lined with
roofing paper. tapping the joints like
shingles.
Another thing should not be lost
sight Of; when the field needs irriga'
ton 1t probably will all need it al
once, for the rain vets the whole
patch the same day, and it would be
a wise plan to pump an earth tank
full Of water and have 1t on hand II
the ground can be sufficiently puddled
to hold water: 1875 gallons per min
ute Is a feeble stream to do anything
with, and less than that Is little more
than an aggravation unless it bt
stored up until sufficient head ha,
accumulated to put 1t out and owe
the ground. The free government
pamphlet, Practical Irrigation for Be
ginners," will be very helpful In Civ
ing methods for handling the water
The 125 gallons per minute should b.
delivered at a cost OF not more thai
80 cents a day for engine naphthi
If the right machinery is selected. AM
the best should be procured: it's tn
cheapest in the end.

Land Values Increase.

The increase of land values due to
the irrigation work by the national
government is To- estimated at over
Sos, 000, 900. This is considerably
more than the cost of the irrigation
plants and shows the direct gain from
such forms of conservation. And as
the government will be reimbursed Ill
timately by those who get the benefit
of a water supply for their land and
who pay a reasonable charge for the
privilege il will be perceived that the
people as a whole will be out moth
ing. while they will share in the ad-
vantages that come from much great
err producing capacity.

Troops Which Were to Have Been
Sent to Philippines Will be
Kept at Home.

Washington.-The departure of all
troops now under orders for duty in
months. This is generally attributed
To the situation in Mexico, the presi-
dent being unwilling to disturb the
forces on duty in the south.
At the war department it is ex-
planned that the postponement is due
to a decision to make the term OF SER
vice in the Philippines two years and
a half instead of two as at present.

Care Of Bees.

Bees left to themselves will gen.
orally send out one swarm IN a sea-
son, often sending out a second
swarm, sometimes a third. says q
writer in an exchange. In Jul prac-
tice we always have supers partly full
of empty comb, and this makes the
giving of room to the bees much more
practicable than when empty sections
are given, for there need be no delay
in the work, no waiting on the build
ers, no hanging clusters while the
honey is wasting in the fields. The
young bees. then. do most OF the
comb building.
