New Live Stock Methods.
A M HOVE.

Raising and handling cattle OF
the range and in pasturei in New
Mexico is being done differently
than formerly and the change
will be still greater in the nexI
year or two. Cattle raising il
being placed is being placed on
a business basis. Among tn
changes now coming into US
NAV be noted the segregation
of the steers and cows and hei-
fers. In the words of a leading
stockman in New Mexico, Il
have learned by expeIience that
il pays to sePregate my cattle
keeping all the steers in a pas
ture by themselves and the cows
and heifers in another pasture
In handling them in this way
| find less disturbance and bet
ter results generally.
Il have also discovered" he
continues, that we must dehorn
all our cattle if we expect to re.
ceive the highest price for them.
We use registered bulls and Sc
lect the very best cows. letting
the off colored and poorer kinds
go. When our calves are about
ten months old we dehOrn all of
of them. At that ape the horn
just starting and its removal
does not cause any harm and
does not disfgure the shape of
the head as is the case when an
animal reaches an advanced age.
These changes from the old
ways of handling our cattle
bring their reward.
The winter care of live stock
on the range and in the pastures
is another change that has come
just recently. The spread of
agriculture out over what was
for a long time considered ex-
elusive grazing areas has helped
to bring the change to winter
feeding. Last season proved
,onclusively that the stockmen
who fed their cattle and sheep
through the winter on cake or
arm feed, lost no stock and
hat when spring came their
'ows and ewes brought a larger
md better increase.

DEATH OF A
YEAR OF DEATH

Our hearts are saddened with
regret that the meek and gentle
spirit of the Nazarine is forgot
ten in a wild and bloody carnage
of death and destruction.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen,
year of death, will soon reach
its own fitting end-in death.
There comes a time in the life
of every person when neither
tongue nor pen can express the
language of the heart.
1t is so with us as we write of
this Christmas day. The loss of
our dear father has brought us
greater grief than We ever be-
fore experienced
Our face should be turned to.
ward the Christ. yet in our
vision We see the crimson stain
ed fields of Europe. the famine
ridden iand Of Mexico. the dy-
ing race of the Christian Ar
menlans, on every hand the grim
aud errioie spectre OF harsh.
violent, sudden and agonizlng
death.
Death of u year of death!
Farewell. 1915! May we
never see your like again!

Since the time of the third
century Christmas has been cele-
brated as a day of joy in honor
of the brit h of Christ, our only
perfect man.
1t has ever been our policy to
speak of Christmas in tones of
gentleness, and love. and com
passion, and humanity; in words
of praise and thankfrness for
the blessings of the year that
would soon pass into history.
Now we approach the glorious
Christmas day with feelings of
sorrow. and sadness, and regret,
for we are soon to witness the
death of a year of death.
Today. when we should revel
in the JOY of living, we are con
sumed with compassion for our
brothers who are peri- hing H.
the blood soaked trenches of
Europe
We are weighed down with
sorrow for the unfortunate wo.
men and children who must bear
the burdens of the greatest aud
most destructive human blight
the world has ever known.

$1.OO PER YEAR
To The Voters and
People of Clovis

desire to make few state
ments over my own signature
regarding the coming election
on the question of Prohibition.
First | wish TO say that am q
Democrat and believe in a fair
square deal for everyone and in
stating facts and nothing but
facts regarding any issue which
is to come before the public fox
vote.
In the Clovis Journal date of
December 23rd, 1915 this state.
ment appears. Revenue this
year from Saloons $500. 90 re-
sulting in prosecutions, which
cost $50 90, do they pay?"
This statement is absurdely i'm
correct. The City of Clovis did
not receive in revenue for the
year mentioned but $3.50 90 for
liquor license. This can be veri-
fled by statement from the City
Clerks Office And the fact is
the City of Clovis did not pay
out one cent for prosecutions
anl the S2750.00 was a net in.
come to the City Treasure for
liquor license privileges. | be-
lieve that the total amount Of
Court costs for all of Curry
County was just about $4,000 90.
In the Clovis Journal in same
issue as stated above it SAYS:
The Journal though favoring a
State wide issue rather than the
disrupted local is su etc.. =" which
is in my opinion admission of
the fact that it would disrupt
business in Clovis.
The Journal is a most excel
lent paper and is owned by my
friends Drs. Dillon, who are
practicing physicians in the City
of Clovis and onjoy a reputa-
tion of being fine Doctors and
Su geons and they write
PRESCRIPTIONS.
The statements referred to
above which appeared in the
Clovis Journal of December
23rd, 1915 are sure to mislead
some voter and so the Public
may know the exact conditions
Of our city | will give you the
facts as near as possible. The
City of Clovis raised last year
BY direct tax levey $8500.00.
The income from liquor license
vas $2750.00 which was part Of
this item Other occupation
licenses S2400. 90, making a total
If $13650.00, which amount Of
money paid all expenses Of
'unning the City. However we
ire not taking into account the
earnings and expenditures Of
he City Light and Water Plant.
The $2750 90 raised by the City
,y the liquor license is approxi-
nately one.fifth of the total
of money raised by d.
ect taxation. If YOU VOTE
1HE SALOONS OUT YOU MAY
EXPECT YOUR CITY TAXES
70 BE 0NE-FIFTH HIGHER.
AS a Moral City and a good
own to live in | do not believe
hat there is another town of
i've Thousand population in the
United States that can equal
,lovis' reputation as a good,
lean, moral city. Clovis has
ad at least One Thousand
eople come to make their future
ONE in the last year or so and
the liquor establishments
rake Clovis such bad place as
ONE would make out, why then
lear friend did these people
ONE to Clovis? Our Prohibition
riends. who would ask you to
make Clovis a Dry town no
oubt have an object in view and
dare say in nine cases out of
en- it is a money consideration,
nd already the Managers of the
rohibi1i0n campaign are put
ng out absurdely incorrect
tatements.
Don't be deceived on the issue

Just About Folks

A. TENDERFooT FARMER

derstand. is a city bred man who
could not resist the lure of the
"back to the farm" call. hence
came to within two and half
miles of Clovis sCme few years
back and acquired 320 acres of
mighty good land.
He laid aside the Prince Albert
coat. the high standing collar aud
white neck tie, and donned the
garments more behtting the high
calling of a gentleman farmer.
Succeeded? He has glorious
ly succeeded. Why, man, this
city bred. tender. foot. farmer last
year cultivated, with his own
hands, 180 acres. He thinks the
100 acres on his home place"
will average 40 bushels of grain,
10 the acre. He has from 35. 900
to 40, 0O0 bundles Of grain, not
to mention the headed stuff
and other forage. He has his
chickens. COWS, hogs, horses
ana oh well. Mr., QuanUe is

A WISE PREACHER
Some folks say that a preacher
bas less financial sense than
any body outside Of the insane
asylum. Personally | 90 no be-
lieve word OF it. | have notic-
ed that a preacher can make a
dollar 20 farther and get along
on less than any man, save per-
haps. the fellow VINO does with
out every thing that he needs
until he just mas to have it then
won't get it! rhe preacher to
whom reference Is here made, is
Rev. Rogers, a Methodist circuit
riGer, residing near Grady. He
is q hard, conscientious worker.
breaches several times each Sun
day, with a few md week ap-
polntments pitched in for good
measure. For this he receives
but little. so far as dollars and
cents 20. Mr.. Rogers is a large
man, and the chickens fade |
away before him like the mist
before the morning sun. He
must get support, his family |
must be supported and this wise
preacher knows that there is no
way to financial ease, in this
than the live stock
way. He also knows that there
is nothing that will interfere less
with his ministerial duties, con.
sequently he recently purchased
a quarter Of hundred head of
those choice Hereford heifers
from MessrS Dunn and Harrison.
Where did this preacher get the
money? Never mind that. Rev
Rogers came by those cattle
otherwise he would
tot have them.

FRENCH COAL

Correspondence OF. Associated Press).
LONDON, Jan. JIG France is now
compelled to call on England for
coal which was formerly mined in the
north OF France. Practically all tho
mines in that district have either
been destroyed by the .Germa artil-
lery or are being operated. by Ger
mans. AT LEVIN and Courrieses the
German army is carrying on extern
sive mining operations and producing
great quantities of coal which are
shipped into Belgium for the use OF
the German military forces.
France is no longer able to- draw
coal from Mons and Charleroi. which
formerly supplied large quantities
for expectation. Consequently the
residents Of northern France are
largely dependent upon English
mines for coal. which has become
very, scarce. Frequently towns and
villages near the fighting line are
entirely without coal for week.
This works great hardships on hos
pitfalls sadly in need OF heat for the
hundreds OF thousands Of wounded,

who are being cared for in the

PARIS, Jan. 16-The relation
OF the labor unions to the war
has been altogether credftable to
them, according to M. Marck, rreas-
urer of the federation Of labor unions
of the Seine. He said the govern
|ment had always been nervous about
labor unions in case Of war. and as
the anti-militarist campaign had
reached alarming proportions 1t was
thought a serious question what
might be the extent Of defections in
case of an outbreak. VI
That this had been a false alarm
of fear was evident from the fact
that three hundred thousand trades

to suppose. that after it's over we
