TIME FOR PRUNING

The heavy pruning should be done
IN the dormant season. from the IF
teenth of December to the fifteenth
of February, This induces heavy
growth of wood during the next sum
mer. Pruning during the activity of
the tree reduces wood growth and
promotes fruit bearing.
Generally speaking, the weaker
aud less vigorous the tree, the heavier
II should be prmcd. Always cut out
Il diseased limb or part of tree when
found.
Shortening should be done to "A
strong lateral, This may prevent
nice, even appearance to all branches
but will maintain the vigor of the tree
and prevent an excessive brushy top
growth, which would later require "a
large amount Of thinning.

THE SECOND YEAR
Pruning the second year should
consist of removing the excess of lat

be in the direction this bud points.
From each cut you should get two
laterals, thus doubling the lateral

Wednesday morning. January 10,
the lola community was saddened by
the loss of their friend and brother,
J.. O. Danse, who took his own life,
thus ending the years of terrible
suffering he had been subjected to
by disease. He leaves wife and
son and IA host of friends to mourn
his loss, Owing to his deep interest
in the school it was dismissed for
two days To show the respect and
appreciation it felt for its patron.
Friends have cared for Mrs. Danse
in this hour of her great sorrow.
Space prevents the mention of the
numbers Of neighbors who have
proved their friendship. We fee
that special mention should be made
of the fact that Mrs. Danse was
cared for by Mrs, c. A. Gibson dur
ing the first days of her sorrow,
watching all night long at times by
the tear-drenched pillow of this dear,
broken-hearted wife. A telegram
from Mrs. Danse's son, Launcelot,
who was in Indiana, said that he
was coming and added BE kind to

can take him by the hand when he
arrives and say Son, we tried to be

OPPOSE CHANGING
Of STATES NAME
PROPOSAL is Received With Cool
ness by Albuquerque
Citizen
Comment on State of Lincoln
Club by New Mexico
Press.

The state press has recently pub
lished number of interesting COM
ments regarding the proposal to
change the Sunshine States name
10 Lincoln. 1t is quite evident that
the movement is gaining ground
because of the interest and discus
sion evoked by the propaganda. 1t
should be stated that the State of
Lincoln Club is not unmindful of
the Spanish civilization which exist
ed in the state before the coming
Of the Anglo.Saxon, but it should
be remembered that no authority
was respected by the Indians except
at infrequent intervals, until the
American troopers came in and
protected the Mexican colonists
from the depredations of the saw
ages. In fact it was the neglect of
the Mexican government which led
the colonists to welcome General
Kearney's soldiers. and cemented
friendship between the two races
that has lasted to the present day.
VIGOROUS PROTEST
Dennis Chavez, assistant city
engineer, is out as a leader in Albu.
querque of the opposition to the
change of the name of the state
from New Mexico to Lincoln, rs
suggested recently by Deming men.
Mr.. Chavez outlines his thoughts on
the subject in the following COM
munication:
Editor Evening Herald:
Now and then some citizens of
the state think they want to change
the name of New Mexico to that of
Lincoln A few, having lost their
sense Of hearing, because New Mex
leo does not sound so euphonious to
their ears, others because Lincoln
does not happen to have a state
named after him, and some for var
ious reasons, but the latest from
the Boosters of Deming are GER
tainly convincing (?) to say the
least.
Reason |. Mr.. Edward Penning.
ton Is quoted as saying that a post
master in the East" refused to
take registered letter addressed
to Deming because it was unsafe
to send money where revolution
was going on" The above reason
certainly does not speak well for
the enlightenment and geographical
knowledge of one of Uncle Sans
trusted postmasters, and just why
we should change the name of the
state on this account cannot see;
therefore Mr.. Pennington should
devote his time agitating against
ignorant office holders.

SALVATION IS IN
STOCK FARMING
Dairying is Homesteader's Best
Bet, Says Santa Fe's Agri-
cultural Expert
TELLS ABOUT METHODS REST
How to Keep up Maximum Pro-
duction of Milk During
Winter Months.

Farmers in New Mexico recognize
that their salvation lies in stock
farming. OF the two divisions of
stock farming. viz, feeding and
dairying, the latter is really more
important at the present time be.
cause the inexperienced homesteader
can handle the milking of cows and
the shipping of cream with more
chance of success than following the
more scientific feeding practice.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTION.
There are two valuable policies
that We wish to submit now TO the
consideration of the farmers who
are, or who expect to realize prin-
cipally from cream. The need of
incorporating both these policies on
the farm arises from the fact that
cream is scarcest and brings its best
price during the winter months.
which means that cows should pro.
duce as much milk in that season Of
the year as possible. And it is pos.
sible to keep the milk production on
any given farm up to the maximum
in that part of the year by:
FRESH IN SEPTEMBER.
Having the. greater number of your
milk cows come fresh in September.
These cows will have to be bred in
the present month of January.
Feeding your cows juicy, succulent
ensilage in winter to keep up their
milk flow is important. In regard
to the first proposition, to establish
the January breeding practice. a pc.
riod of at least two years in most
cases will he required. The process
of change will be difficult because
COWS have inherited the tendency Ia
breed when temperature and other
seasonable factors are agreeable
And in order to change their season
of breeding. artificial summer con-
dtions, such as warm, comfortable
quarters and succulent feed must be
supplied in winter. When you have
secured the desirable winter facili
ties you have overcome the mair
difficulty, for in addition to comfort
warm stables are essential to milk
production and proper care of calves
in winter.
In accomplishing the change IL
breeding time you must begin by
keeping the cows from the bull II
their next regular season. Endeavol
to hol,; ihcm for about three months
and then breed them. The follow
ing year the farmer should try t
hold them to about three month!
later than he did this year, or t
January, the new breeding month
In short, accomplish the change II
two steps, or even three, by holding
over two months each year until thu
change is complete. If the mor'
gradual method seems advisable,

you are successful you have done 8
much toward a larger income fror

will accommodate.
