The Fam.

Farmers of Madison county are very
busy doing their Fall work. The wealth
or has been excellent during the past
three weeks, and the farmers generally
have their work in splendid shaps
Corn has all been cut and considerable
has been husked. and large quantities
are being offered for sale or the local
market. The price ranges from So 80
TO 81 76a barrel. All small grain has
been sown, and wheat never looked bet
ter at this time of year. Pastures are
in fine condition. and grazing is fine.
A new crop of grass has made its APP
pearance and cattle are doing splendidly.
All kinds of fruits-apples especially,
are more plentiful than for several
years. Prices of fruits and vegetables
are very reasonable. About the mos
expensive thing is the turnip, which is
scare and somewhat of a luxury.

How He Cot a Job.

In recent issue of Golfers Weekly
the editorial opinion was expressed that
newspaper writer's confine themselves
too much to big cities and that many a
small Town would appreciate an ably
conducted newspaper, and give proper
recognition to the writer who was re-
sponsible for it. The editorial had a
sequel which must intrest every one
of US.
Leonard Brooks had just drifted into
the United States from Manila, having
edited paper there which became ex-
tinct owing to the war. He read Collier S
editorial and sent in a letter the burden
of which was:

During the pas, several years there

that the Elephant Butte dam II near

number OF farms being taken up In
the Las crucea district BY eastern
farmers. The Rio Grande valleys
are now being thickly populated ana
improved farm lands are bringing a
good price IN this district. Practical
eastern farmers have for some months
been Rocking there because they can
raise I'VE or six crops OF alfalfa each
year. Several colonies Of eastern
farmers rave settled in the vicinity Of

Poultry raising has proven yer;
