ton may be, the fact remains that
we have an inborn instinct which
makes the average man happy out in
an environment which nature has pro.
duced unaided.
Let us first consider those difficult
ties which arise at the very beginning
or the transfer from the city to the
country.
The first OF these has to do with the
real estate agent The man who has
lived all his life In the city is nc
judge of the agricultural value OF a
piece OF land.
He does not know what Is fair
price for land under a given set OF
conditions, hence he is an easy mark
for real estate agent, and unfortu
nately some men are engaged in this
business whose word cannot always
be trusted.
Hence a man who Is contemplating
radical move Of this kind should
study the matter until he understands
1t, and finally select land in a locality
where there are good markets, where
the soil has possibilities in 1t, and
where he can get a piece OF land at
Its real market value.
The second great difficulty lies IL
the city mans ignorance OF the prin
ciples involved in farming. No Other
sphere OF human activity involves
knowledge of SO many principles as
does farming.
A few of the things a man has tc
know before he can make a success:
OF farming are as follows: He must
Know how to manage the soil; he
must know when it is in condition 70,
plowing and for the different tillage
operations; he must know the value
and use of manure and fertilizers; he
must know how deep to cover differ.
ent kinds of seed and the season for
different farm operations.
He must have a pretty general
knowledge of the types of farming in
order to be able to select type suit
able to his conditions, and there Is a
great multitude OF them to choose
from.
He must know the amounta OF capi.
tai required for given agricultural
undertaking; also the amount OF labor
required. He must know what are the
best varieties Of crops to be planted;
the season for planting and harvesting
these crops; the rate OF seeding;
how much work stock is needed, and
how much of other kinds OF livestock;
how much feed these animals will
consume.
One OF the things which 1t Is highly
important for the successful farmer to
know Is what constitutes fair days
work on the farm. II he Is ignorant
Of this he will be imposed upon by
many hired laborers he Is so unfor.
tunate as to be compelled to employ.
In addition to knowing about the
soil. the capital and labor required.
the varieties Of crops to grow, and de.
tails of growing them. he must under.
stand the principles OF marketing
farm produce
Fortunately the city man Is usually
better qualified for this part of farm
management than is the average farm.
er because he knows more about con.
dltions in the cities. where he must
find his markets.

Nothing of the Kind"

Attorney General Wilson in his argu-
Jnent in the case of Sheriff Moulton de
ton of September, 1911. showed that The
people of Maine demanded strict enforce
ment of the Prohibitory law.
1T did not show anything of the kind
on the question of the repeal of the So
called Prohibitory amendment, those
who opposed repeal outnumbered those
who favored it by TOO. That did not show
demand of the people for strict ell
forcement.
"The large and influential party which
has long been in favor of prohibition but
against its enforcement made itself felt
in 1911 as 1t has on many other occasions.
Everybody who Is familiar with cond-
tions in this State knows the Prohibitory
law is advocated By thousands who do
not favor any such brand of enforcement
as that which Mr. Wilson now says the
people want. Everybody who is familiar
with conditions in this state knows per-
tectiy well that the men who profess to
be prohibitionists and who, privately at
least, declare that the law should be en-
forced with discretion are many times 100

After the monumental display of
duplicity and brazen dishonesty on
the part Of Democratic leaders who
promised to enforce the law, one
might expect these discredted polit-
clans TO desire To keep out of sight
But, urged on by the greed of an in

vince the people that they dhe peo-

Gamblers Barred at Panama.

But every sensible person familiar

voted in September they did not fore
sec the action taken by the Governor
in March And if proof of the truth
of this assertion were needed it might
be found in the care with which Mr..
Haines while a candidate for Gov

mite announcement of what he would
do with reference to the prohibitory
law if elected. Had Mr.. Haines made
such an announcement he would not

COUNTRYS OLDEST BUILDING.
Residence of New Mexicos Governor
Built 800 Years Ago by Spanish.

The residence of the Governor oi
New Mexico in the city of Santa F'e Is
the oldest and one Of the really his
teric public buildings in the Unitet
States. FOR three centuries it ha
been the gubcrnatorial residence al
this state. 1t was erected by tho
Spanish when the greater part of the
western world Was theirs, and was
the finest house in the colonies. Ac
cerding to legend millions of dollars
We're spent on the quaint old build
ing. Most of the material in 1t WAS
brought from Spain and it was built
by the best builders to be found among
the Dons of that period. The ships
that brought over the material had
conveys to ward off pirates and other
enemies of Spain who secured the
southern seas in search of Spanish
ships.
Besides building material and Guild
ers to shape the structure in accord
with the wishes and whims OF tha
Spanish Governor the ship brought
many art treasures which We're e.
decorate the finished house
In this house. one OF the sights of
old Santa Fe, which. BY the way. Il
the second oldest city in the United
States, were planned many daring eX=
peditions of the Spaniards in this
country.
After the Spanish went tie MeXi-
cans used the house as q Governor :
palace. With the overthrow of the
Mexicans by the American govern
nent it was continued as the resi-
dence of the head of the Territorial
government that was formed. When
New Mexico became a state no at
tempt was made TO give the Governor
a modern residence. Such move
would have been met with much dis
favor in the old city on the famous
Santa Fe trail. The house is still i'll
use and there is every reason to be-
lieve it will continue to house manS
of New Mexico's future governors.
Gov. Prince of New Mexico is credited
with saying the old building is the
most historic in the United Sta,es. -
