COVERED YARD
SAVES MANURE
In Addition It Affords Exercise
and HeaIthfuI Environment
for Animals.

Professor Roberts, formerly Of Cor
nell, was a strong advocate Of COW
cred barn yards for the conservation
of manure This system is advocated
by Professor Frazier OF the Univer-
sity of Illinois. Covered barn yards
are sheds, with good roofs. with or
without sides. and large enough to al
low the cattle to move about freely.
The bottom Is puddled clay or cement.
The anu removed from the barn
is spread about. and sufficient bed,
ding distributed over the surface to
insure cleanliness.
The animals tramp the accumulat.
ing manure into a compact and
keep It moist by their liquid excre-
ment. This assures an excellent ma.
nure. with but slight losses Of plant
food. In addition it affords exercise
and a healthful environment for the
animals in severe weather. The plan
has been tried by many dairy men.
and is generally considered satisfac.
tory. 1t is said that the cows keep
cleaner than when stabbed. and the
milking barn is more sanitary.

When we speak Of soil and soil prob
lens we are supposed usually to take
Into account about the first foot or less.
For the most crops 1t sufices to say
that alfalfa adds nitrates to the soil,
since most crops feed only on about
the first foot.
For the deep-rooted crops this will
not hold true. From analysis OF sew
eral alfalfa tracts 1t was found that
the first foot Of soil was much richer
in nitrates, but to depth Of six feet
much poorer, on an average. In 9TH
er words, alfalfa land Is usually rich
in nitrates in the first foot and poor
In nitrates below the first foot, while
land In other crops may be Just the
reverse.
The deep roots Of the alfalfa plant
penetrate far into the soil In search
of food, while the nitrogen bacteria
accompanying the plant are working
in the top soil. In this way the nj
trates are more concentrated In the
top soil for the use Of succeeding

would require a train of 100 cars to

During the second summer the

In visiting the sick, and making
bouquets for decorative purposes. l
was often hampered by the scarcity OF
flowers adapted to the making of a
dainty, loosely arranged collection, I'M
til | tried raising some plants Of the
perennial Baby-Breath (~gypsophiia
~paniculata).
l wished to raise the plants from
seeds. SO procured a package and
sowed the seed late in June in moist.
sandy soil in the perennial border.
The seed was sown very thinly to
avoid much transplanting. and it ger
minated quickly, the first year growing
good stocky plants with 1eshy roots.
The soil in which they grew was
sandy and well enriched with rotted
manure, being kept moist throughout
the hot months by a fine mulchins
which not only served to retain the
moisture but prevented weeds from
choking out the seedlings. as I had
little time for wedding. Experience
has taught me that such treatment is
good for any strong-growing perennial
plant.
The second year the Baby-Breath
plants assumed a sprawling bush
form, and were early white with tiny
bits Of bloom. Then I had no trouble
in making nice bouquets. as the bril-
liant Gladiolus, Foxglove. Iris and
Zinnias appeared more dainty COM

when formed in stiff. heavy bouquets

TO TAKE UP PETITION
AT JULY MEETING

At the meeting of the county
commissioners last week, the
petition asking for an election to
decide the question of a County
High School at Belen, was tabled
indefinitely. This was on account
of the fact that the law enacted
by the legislature of 1912, had
been amended by the legislature
of 1913, and this amendment does
not become effective until the
18th of this month. On Monday
of this week, the attention of the
commissioners was called to the
fact that the amendment in no
wise affected the calling of the
election, but merely the manner
of making the levy to maintain
the school. At the latter meeting
the board adopted a resolution
instructing the clerk to verify
the signatures to the petition and
in the mean time to take the
matter up with the district attor-
ney, and promised to consider the
matter further at the regular
meeting of the board in July.

spread on the grass under a large
mulberry tree. Several who had
attended the morning services at
the churches arrived in time for

tome Land GRANT
CASE DECIDED

In telegram received yester-
day by Attorney Felix Baca, of
this city, from the clerk Of the
United States supreme court at
Washington, Mr.. Baca was offici-
ally notified that the court Of last
resort had sustained the decision
Of the supreme court of New
Mexico, holding that the heirs
of Barela," " the first settler Of the
Tome grant in Soeorro county,
were the rightful owners Of the
Tome graft, comprising 121, 900
acres of land. The heirs number
about l, 900.
Barela, the original owner of
the Tome grant, settled on the
land in 1889. About five years
ago Bond Brothers brought suit
against the heirs, claiming title
to the grant, for a partition of
the same, and the case was tried
in the district court of Socorro
county. The court decided in
favor of the heirs. An appeal
was taken by the plaintiffs to the
supreme court, and it sustained
the decision Of the lower court.
Bond Brothers then carried the
case to the United States su-
preme court, and the decision an
nounced yesterday, closes the
case.
The victory is regarded as a big
one for the heirs. The suit has
been one of the most celebrated
in the history Of New Mexico and
it's outcome is expected to have
far-reaching effect on land grant
litigation in the state. -Albu-

that the assessed valuation of

This is quite an advance over
that Of last year, which figures
well ahead of the year previous.
This years figures include the

cision of the Federal Courts to
the effect that. the Indians were

place he was taking the stock.
He reports some remarkable sales
of cattle in western Socorro coun-

the cattle of Frank Knoblock,
who sold his whole herd for July
delivery, the price being $35. 90
per head for everything except
cows with calf by the side, which
brought $1,000. Fenley claimed
there were two hundred head in
this bunch.
