PRODUCERS


spite Of the late and scanty rains
which have made range conditions
bad in many sections Of New Mexico
this season and which have made it
necessary for many Of the cattlemen
to thin out their herds to the mini
mum, the cattle growers Of this state
have no kick coming on the 1918 sea-
son. according to the best informed
buyers and commission men in Albu-
queruue. The thinning process has
been made easy and profitable by rea-
son Of the high price of cattle and
the rush Of buyers who have been
crowding into the field for several
weeks past and who are still coming
in punches.
There Is a market for anything
that looks like COW and at prices
that are little short Of astonishing
said well known cattle buyer this
morning. 4 have watched the New
Mexico market for many years and
have never seen anything to equal it
From six to a dozen cattle bug ers are
dropping into albuquerque every day
and they are buying anything and
everything that looks like a steer al
prices that should make the grower
smile. have had three men in my
office this morning looking for stock
anything Just SO it is possible to labe

Actually we have had instances
during the past few days where prices
paid for, range stuff in this state hav'
been higher than prices on the Kan

buyer paid cents for some stuff a

City was Az cents 1t is difficult t
estimate the number of cattle tina
have gone out Of the state, but 1t
safe to say that this season the nece

There is scarcely need to mention
the high hammock. These are
among the best land, the only out
about them is the cost of clearing.
Low hammock land is also expensive
to clear, but makes fine garden and
grove land, but must usually be
drained. Low lands and muck lands
needing drainage are very rich in
humus, for they have been collecting
store for ages. The high pine
land is commonly used for citrus
fruits, and when it has a clay or
loan subsoil is excellent for that
purpose, costing comparatively lit

Of course there are failures-al

is because of the man, sometimes the
man is all right, but the land not
suitable, sometimes there is the bad
combination of poor man and poor

does not know how to work it un-

Fierce War on Mosquitoes.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Travellers to Atlantic City of late hav
noticed that the broad meadows extend
ing from Pleasantviile to the shore are
being laid out in checker board squares
by the digging Of deep and narrow
bitches. The squares are very small, and
many have wondered what the work
means.
This is simply the latest development
OF the war on the mosquito which the
state of New Jersey has been waging for
some time. 1t is found that mosquitoes
breed little, if at all, in tide water. Their
natural breeding grounds are pools OF
stagnant water and these are many, all
over the meadows. where very high tides
leave water In the many hollows on the
marshes. The new plan is to ditch these
many square miles SO thoroughly that no
tide. however high. can leave behind II
any water, all Of which will be drained
Off In the bitches.
This is only part of the campaign, but
it Is the most prominent. The experts
employed have had extraordinary success
elsewhere, but have never tackled such a
large proposition. They are confident
that BY the time they are through there
will be no breeding spot for mosquitoes
from the mainland to the breakers-a
contamination devoutly to be wished.

hunts an American girl is apt to be an

point out that there are some mighty bao

KITcHENER's BULLET.
Surgeons Failed to Find the Lead
and Soldier Finally Swallowed It.

From London Tit-Fits.
Lord Kitchener, one Of the most dis
tinguished of the Knights of the Bath who
recently were installed at Henry Wis
Chapel in Westminster Abbey, once had as
narrow an escape Of his life as ever be-
fell a soldier. It was in the course of the
prolonged and fierceIy fought campaign in
the Sudan In the eighties. in the first
year OF that decade, in fact
There was a lively skirnlsh going on at
a place named Handoub. just outside
Suakin, when Kitchener. who was then
a rising young officer of engineers, was
shot at by one. Of the mahdrs negro
soldiers. The bullet found its mark In
the side OF Kitchener's face at the back
OF the cheek. 1t was a Remington bullet
and inflicted a really dreadful wound
breaking the bone at the base of the jaw.
1t took long time to get the splinters
Of bone out, and the doctors were unable
to operate. as. the bullet and fragments
Of bone were too close to the jugular vein
The ball could not be located, and the
doctors pronounced his case as hopeless.
They said the patient could not live and
his sister, accordingly, was sent for from
England.
The future savior of the Sudan, how
ever. differed from the surgeons, ana
steadily refused to believe in their gloomy
prOgnosis of his case, and, though he had
to endure journey down the Nile to the
hospital at Cairo. confined in a small
cabin In sweltering heat, his thin. mus
cuiar physique and iron will power kept
the dreaded fever at bay. The hospital
doctors also failed to find the bullet. and
came to the conclusion that it had worked
its way out during the voyage down the
Nile. Kitchener himself was Of the opin-
ion that the bullet had. by some means.
come out, unnoticed by the surgeons or
himself. and gradually the terrible wound
healed, and Kitchener returned to duty.
"A year or SO after the skirnish at
Handoub, Kitchener one day sat down to
dine of beefsteak which had been
served up by Sergt. Billion Of the hospital
staff. Suddenly Kitchener clapped his
hand to his jaw.

that steak?''

Then that bullet was in my jaw after

it, for l felt it go down.
That proved to be the case. and the
great soldier preserves the flattened piece
of lead on his key chain.
