which their members are strug-

STRANGE TROUBLE

A. R. Cecil and County Agent
HarWell went to Encino Tuesday
to see some cattle belonging to
Mr.. Cecil that have been sick
with a peculiar disease.
The affected herd was brought
from Texas some time ago and
the native cattle are not affected.
The trouble is ushered in with
fever and lassitude and the an
imal quits eating, and as the dis
ease progresses the animals
jaws apparently become para
lyzed so that it has not the pow
er to masticate. The animal
seems hungry enough, and man
ages to swallow ground feed that
is put we'll back in it's mouth. So
far none have died, and with a
number the disease seems to
have run its course, but the an
imals are SO reduced that un-
doubtly they cannot thrive for
some time. All have been given
food as above indicated, which
measure apparently has saved
their lives,
Mr.. Harwell does not know
what the disease may be, but
feels quite sure that it is neither
infectious nor contagious. He
is now active in the effort to get
an expert veterinarian to come
and see what is the matter and
what is best to be done.
The affected herd has been
segregated as a precautionary
measure.
Mr.. Cecil had one other animal
that was affected in a different
way, and seemed sure to die
very soon, so it was killed and
dissected. 1t was found to be
suffering from a very bad case
of indigestion. the gall having
permeated the surrounding tis-
sue. The contents of the third
stomach were impacted and dry
as powder.

HOW To FIGHT
CUT WORMS
Estancia, New Mexico,
May "a, 1915.

Gentlemen:
| enclose herewith press bull
letin on the cutworm and it's
control. At present the county
is suffering much loss from this
pest. An article published this
week in your paper would do
much to improve the situation.
If the worms are fairly mature
and are about to enter the pupa
stage (stage in which the worm
develops into the moth) and it
appears useless to attempt to
save the remaining crop, the re-
seeding may proceed without
much chance of trouble from
this source. If the worm is still
small it will pay to use this COM
paratively inexpensive means of
eradication. For the farm gar
den this is especially true.
1t will be impossible for me to
visit all infected fields and I
choose this means of rendering
service.
Very truly yours,
Roland Harwell,
County Agent.

Street WORK

The work on the Estancia
streets which had been in pro-
gress for a couple of weeks, is
finished, and it certainly is a big
Improvement. Of course there
is more work to do, but it will
have to wait until more funds
are available.
The total expenditure for this
work was $3.50 25. Part of this
was subscribed by lot owners on
Main Street.
The sources of income were as
follows:
Road tax collected in cash, $102.0 90
Road tax worked, 5000
Private subscriptions, 1T. SO
Appropriated by city, 70.75
The work done is thus sum
married:
Two thousand cubic yards of
dirt hauled onto the street.
Three-fourths of a mile OF
street graded.
Three-fourths of a mile Of
ditch widened and deepened tC
detour water around the town.
One. hundred and sixty feet Of
culvert installed.
Five bridges 8x16 feet built.
Now we would like to have an
other flood, just to see how i
works.

Cut worms are the naked,
greenish or dusty larvae of a
number of species of dusky-
winged moths that fly at night
for the most part. In the spring
of 1914 there was great num-
ber of one species of moCh of
this group prevalent very gen.
orally over New Mexico
The usual life history is as fol-
lows: The eggs laid by moths
in late summer hatch into small
caterpillars, or cutWorms'
which lie concealed just beneath
the surface Of the ground near
the tender parts of plants. They
feed mostly at night. Later
cold weather and lack of food
necessitate Information in the
soil or under rubbish, weed piles,
etc. In the spring, feeding is
resumed again. The damage is
more noticeable at that time for
the cutworms are fair sized, hun
cry, and vegetation is scarce.
After a time the caterpillars
reach their full size, go into the
soil to pupate, and later emerge
as moths to lay more eggs for
later generations. Alfalfa fields
harbor enormous numbers of
these cutWorms.
Control: Many moths may be
caught at night by placing light
above a tub of water. This will
not reduce the number of cut,
worms much as the females do
not fly far before laying the eggs
1t will reduce the nuisance Of
having the moths in such num-
bers about the house. Water
standing or s hours on an
irrigated field should kill many
of the cutworms in the soil. A
reliable remedy is the poisoned
bait made as follows: Mix one
pound of Paris green with %
pounds of dry bran. Add 2 or 3
quarts of molasses to 5 or 6 gal
Ions of water and stir the mix
ture thoroughly into the poisoned
bran. Let this stand for several
hours before using. In infested
fields scatter broadcast, in the
evening, pieces of this bait the
size of two or three fingers to
gether. Ia gardens, strew the
pieces along the bases Of the
plants being attacked. In this
dry climate the application may
have to be repeated to give bes'
results.
