The present board of directors
have reason to shake hands with
themselves every morning when they
think Of the great results that have
been accomplished by the Deming
Chamber OF Commerce during the
period for which they must render
an account.
While the Mimbres Valley is at
peace with all the world. when the
present board of directors took
charge of affairs they were con-
fronted by "war tax" of about
$4,000. This they Immediately pro-
ceeded to haui!ste, and the >ecre-
tary wei! remembers that at the first
meeting of the new board. Director
John Corbett said: Now, Cap'n
Bill, Ian't contract any debts that
YOU haven; got the money to pay"
And how well that admonition has
been needed can readily be seen
when say that when the present
secretary hands to his successor ON
January the books entrusted To
him he will show every bill paid and
u good balance in the treasury. lie
will also turn over 10 his successor
good bills receivable to the value Of
n, least $1,000.
When the present administration
assumed control of affairs the
school census of our district showed
SGT pupils of school age. and in
the census completed by the board of
education September !. 1914. the
records show 1907. and il is II very
pleasant thought to know that the
county schools a. reported by our eff
fcient county superintendent show
an almost corresponding increase.
Among the things that have been
accomplished il may be well 10 call
attention to the organization of our
splendid national guard. securing

right of way. The chamber has been
likewise active in securing for Dem
ing rural free delivery, and we are
assured that city delivery will be in
stalled in the course of very short
time. The chamber has lent en-
enlargement to farmers in the build
ing of silos by the payment of n $40
bill to each farmer reporting com
pleled silo, with ensilage enough to
fll it. and if the secretary's memory
isn't at fault the promoters of the
creamery about to be erected shows
that majority of the stockholders
are members of this commercial
body. Aud when you speak of actual
benefits to farmers. the supreme act
of more consequence than all others.

The Buff OrU.ngton Origin.

The Buff Orpington belongs to the
English class, and is known as the
white meat fowl. The standard
weight is as follows: Cock, 20
pounds; cockerel, 812 pounds; hen, 8
pounds; pullet, pounds.
A Mr.. William Cook of England
was the originator, the origin being
created through the Golden Spangled
Hamburg, Buff Cochin and Colored
Dorkings.
Mr.. Cook is claimed to be the or
iginator of all the Orpington varie-
ties, of ,Ihich there are the Buff,
Black and White, all Of which have
been admitted to the standard, also,
we re informed, that other varie-
ties are now being originated.
Mr.. Cook published a book on the
Orpingtons, which is a valuable
work and should be in the library
of every lover of this grand breed
of fowls:
As a market fowl, they are con-
sidered one of the very best, and1
milk-fed Orpingtons are a treat to
the kings of the world.
The Orpington family have made
some great egg records in the past,
especially the White Orpingtons,
which have received a great boom
in the country by the publicity given
them by man named Ernest Kel-
lerstrass, who originated breed
that is known as Crystal White Or
pmgtons.

Feed the Hens Well.

would rather take my chances of
getting the hens too fat than of net
feeding enough. Do not try to econ
omize in the feeding of the flock of
hens. They must first have sufficient
to keep their bodies warm and in
good condition, and then the surplus
goes into egg-making. SO many
people feed scarcely enough to l;eep
the hen warm and in good condition,
to say nothing about food to make
eggs. At night, at least, feed all the
birds will clean up. Some days they
will eat more than others. Keep
an eye on them and see tat they
have things necessary for egg pro
electromagnetic meals-water, grit,
shells, beef scrap, green food, char
coal and plenty of nice litter to eX-
ercise in. Feed literally and you

1t was growing dark when Jim fin
ally arrived at the tent, and called
cheerily to the two women, who were
really 0etting frightened, the one for
fear lest Jim had met with some ac-
cident, and the other because of his
words that the woods were full of
men, and she and her mother were
there all alone. They were all glad
to see each ether, and entered into
plans for the new house with eager
ness while eating the supper which
had been awaiting Jim's return, which
consisted Of canned corned beef,
beans, bakers bread and butter, angel
cake, and tea made from the creek
water.
With supper over Marguerite was
sent TO bed in the tent, while jim and
his wife sat on an old down pine and
talked things over He confessed to
her that he did not know how to clear
the land, how strawberries grew, nor
how to plant alfalfa, but one thing
was sure, the land must be cleared.

the moon came up over the trees, and
lighted the gloomy landscape with q
Silvery light that made them think Of
the week they had spent together
twenty years ago, when she was a
bride, and they were so very happy.
Politics had made Jim give up good
position, and then he took a social
glass with the boys, just to keep in
with them. and was away from home
at council meetings so many nights
that she was half glad that she had
come into this forlOrn place because

out of some of the habits his mother
had taught him, and prayer had been
unknown to his lips for years, but to-
night he felt that he needed some aid
greater than any man could give him.
His wife sat beside him, holding his
big hand in both of hers, while his
arm drew her to him.
He broke the silence by saying:
Little girl, we have been living a
happy life so far as it has gone, but
| have often felt that my mother
would say that there was sometime
missing in it,"
you mean a son, JIM" said his
wife half frightened.
"No, Pet, not a son, but the Sun
of Righteousness We have not gone to
church as much as to the White City

the. city boss would say if | did not
deliver our ward vote than what God
would say as to the way | got it, and
think we have about reached our
limit. Let US begin this new life with
Gods help, as Mother would say" and
there in the moonlight jim Smith and
his loval wife began TO farm it by a
simple prayer taught jim in the old
New England home, when he knelt az
a boy by the old ~plintbottomed chair,
while his father led in the family
prayers which always closed the day.
The two walked slowly toward the
tent, and Jim kissed the dear wife
who seemed sweeter than ever
with her old clothes in the moonlight,
and then he started for the wagon,
but she caught him by the arm, and
said: mo jim, ! shall sleep in the
wagon if you do. This hardship can
not part US if the twenty years of city
life have not. You are my husband,
and | your wife. You can get up be-
fore Marguerite wakes, and tomorrow
we will have a curtain some way"

The Golden Wyandotte Origin.

The state f Wisconsin claims the
origin of th. breed. Mr.. Joseph
McKeen, through a union of the
Partridge Cochin, Brow Leghorn,
Golden Hamburg, Black Breasted
Games and Silver Wyandotte pro-
duced the first Golden Wyandottes.
Black and gol'en bay were the dis
tinguishing colors of these birds in
stead of the black and silvery white
of the Silver variety which was or
iginated first. Less difficulty YVES
experienced in breeding for shape
and color, s the makers of this
breed had the Silvers as a founda-
ton and model.
At first they were naturally arg
er in size than the Silvers. They
have made great progress as a breed
there having been a brisk demand
for both utility and exhibition birds
for many years, and as a class they
have kept pace with others.
They belong to what is Known as
the America class and he standard
weight is: Cock, 8 1-2 lbs; cockerel,
TIP lbs; en-, 61-2 lbs; pulle.,

shaped fowl that shows off fine,

The commission has. for instance,
within the last few years adjusted the

srade commodities. In some OF these
cases the commission has reduced the
rate and there is little likelihood that

that the Increase voted by the commission
Will fall far short Of that asked by the

The belief here is that the actual relief

servation OF present possibilities as the
chief means of increas. revenues.
Any decision which fails to give in
