the pasturage, and you have another,
and quite as interesting, little prob
lem in dairy cattle.
How to Make Three Profits.
Farmers in the east and north have
discovered that it is a mistake to sell
hay and grain crops as such. They
have found that they cheat themselves
out of two profits whenever they do
that-a profit in the shape of meat
or milk, and another profit in the
shape of the drOppings which return
to the soil q large percentage of those
elements of plant life which have been
withdrawn from it by the crop. It is
for this reason that they have re-
sorted, even in the face of the adverse
conditions noted, to feeding their for
age and grain crops to dairy cattle.
No Depleted Lands.
Farmers in this section have not yet
begun to feel the sting of depleted
lands They have not walked I'D to the
oats and cane and other like crops
they can make them yield a triple
profit. But the awakening must come;
and It. is a matter Of a few years at
most.
But Il the farmers Of these valleys,
as a whole, have not awakened to the
situation, some Of the business men
Of FL PaSO have. An organization is
being projected at this time whose
purpose is to place within reach Of
Llib NdAAEN FARMERS the capital re-
quired for engaging in dairying along
right and profitable lines. The project
of building a creamery in Ell PasO, or
one in Ell Paso and others at various
points above, has been given consid-
cradle publicity. Much has been said
about it. and much has been written.
Out. of it all, one or two great facts
appear to have been clearly estab-
lished
Organization Is Essential.
One Of these is the desirability, II
not the absolute necessity, of harmon
ious and coherent organization among
the farmers themSelves-an Organiza-
ton which shall enable them to COM
pei fair treatment once they have
bought their cows and fairly launched
upon the enterprise. Such an organi-
cation is neither visionary nor impos-
sible. 1t has been effected and main
tanned in other places; and there is no
assignable reason for believing that
the farmers Of these valleys are less
sensible than those Of Minnesota or
Wisconsin or Illinois
There are, in fact. about $500 such
cooperative creamerieS in successful
working in the United States today.
OF these, Minnesota has 632-Minne-
sofa with her terrific winters and her
short growing season, and Wisconsin
come next with $50. while Iowa stands
third with 30S. Iowa has 210 non CO.
operative creameries besides, and six
cheese factories and three condenser
les.
a Lesson From Wisconsin.
There is a lesson which the people
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-02-06

of these valleys may learn from Wis
cOnsin. Wisconsin is not a heavy
producer of alfalfa. The reasons APP
pear too obvious for comment. But
Wisconsin buys alfalfa from Colorado,
paying S22 a ton for it, and feeds it
to her own dairy battle. Wisconsin
then ships the butter and cream and
cheese produced by those dairy cattle,
eating Colorado alfalfa at an average
of S22 q ton, back into Colorado and
sells them at a round profit. 1t should
be added that Colorado farmers are
not quite so stupid as this might make
them appear: they have made re-
peated attempts to enter the dairying
business but with slight success
Their altitude seems to be against
them.
But in the case Of these valleys,
there is no such barrier. Moreover,
there is an active and fancy market
for all the dairy products they can
yield. 1t is one Of the facts that count
most heavily in favor Of these valleys
that they lie adjacent to the enormous
mining district of the southwest
district that while producing $780,

1000 to $3.50 an acre in full bearing
orchards; Bartlett and other pears
that come into bearing in four years
after being planted and produce CROPS
worth $500 an acre; and best
would seem that these valleys were
originally planned for bee culture and
that all the modern improvements IN
that line have been added unto them
Present Prices Of Lands.
Irrigab1e lands in these valleys may
be had from S35 an acre up, according
to location and condition. Land already
levelled and in cultivation brings from
$50 up, the really desirable locations
bringing from SIS to $3.50.
But it should be noted that 40 acres
of these irrigated lands are more than
the equivalent, in point OF productive
ness. of four times their area In most
n-irrigated sections.

.DAIRYING ON LANDS UNDER THE
ELEPHANT BUTTE PROJECT PAYS
Is New and Promising Industry Which Farmers Under
the Project Plan to Develop on Large Scale;
Land and Climate Adapted to Dairying and
Ready Markets Are Available.
BY JOHN LEIsK TAFT.

that might be mentioned in illustra-
ton, dairying is a success in the
hands Of the man who does a number
Of seemingly insignificant things
Just exactly right; and is a failure in
the hands of the possibly more cap
able man who fails to do some one or
moro OF them exactly right. It is a
business Of infinite and exacting de-
tail.
Cleanliness Is Imperative.
The dairyman who would succeed
must be liberal in using hot water
and live steam about cans, tables, ma
chinery and premises.
And this extends, in the broader
sense, to the blood in his dairy cattle.
Pure strains Of butter makers are very
corner stones of his success. Scrub
cows cannot be expected to maintain
a successful dairy. That has been
tried again and again. The result is
invariable and disheartening This
single cause has scored more failures
in the dairy business than any other

age grown on his place last season.
Tt was produced upon land which
had already, the same year, yielded
IS bushels of oats per acre. The oats
were harvested in June. BY the first
of the following month the cane had
be9n planted and irrigation begun.
Between the first and the fifth Of Oc-
tober Mr.. Robertson cut IA tons per
acre of ensilage from that ground.
Much Of the alfalfa land in these
valleys after the final cutting for the
year brings from five to eight inches
of grass. This. during the three months
in which the crop rests, affords un-
surpassed pasture for dairy cattle.
During the growing season this alfalfa
yields from three to six and one half
tons per acre per annum. Add this to

one mistake Pure blooded stock
costs more to start with, it is true,
but it eliminates the biggest element
of doubt in the whole problem OF
DairyinE Under Difficulties.
Some of the greatest successes in
dairying ever male in this country
are located in Minnesota, Wisconsin.
Illinois, New York and other states
lying so far north that expensive
stables must be built to shelter the
stock and the cattle must be practl-
cally stall fed for half the year or
more. In those states, also. the grow
ing season is not more than half so
long as it is here.
But. in the lands under the EIe-
plant Butte project, the climate is so
mild that barns need not be expensive
Neither must any considerable per-
centage of feed be wasted in maintain
ing the animal heat necessary to the
comfort and health of the cattle. More
over, with a nine months growing
season 1t is possible to make the land
yield not one but from two to four
crops a year. Finally, nowhere else
in the United States does alfalfa, that
queen of dairy feeds, thrive more
luxuriantly than in the fertile valleys
above and below Ell Paso.
Value of the SilO.
Unquestionably, here as elsewhere,
the silO is destined to become chief
adjunct to the dairyman's success,
Silos are just beginning to be appre-
ciated in the lands under the Elephant
Butte project; but it may justly be
questioned whether there is any sec
tion in the United States where
richer variety of ensilage crops can
be produced. Experiments with the
natural grasses of the region indicate
that they have large value in the
silO. Corn, sorghum milo maize,
feterita, oats, amber cane. COW peas
the list is a long one. A. $. Robert
son, OF Mesilla, is now feeding a bunch
of calves on lot of amber cane ensil-

THOSE who are best Informed
upon conditions in the valleys
under the Elephant Butte prof.
ect, and upon the practical workings
OF the creamery business, agree that
no where else in the United States
has nature more plainly indicated the
establishment Of oreameries than here.
IT is the general verdict Of such men
that soon or late, and the sooner the
better for all concerned, dairying is
bound to become one Of the leading
industries in these valleys.
Like many another industry Of the
present day, dairying has been
evolved through a mass Of technical
details from an almost universal fall
ure 70 a very general success. At least,
the rules Of success in dairying are
pretty wei settled.

It would appear. from whatever
angle it is viewed, that If ever nature
specifically planned a dairying district,
she had that line Of business in her
minds eye when the lands now under
the Elephant Butte project were being
shaped.

MRS. ALON FULLER MORSE LEAVES
AN ESTATE of $5,OOO,OOO.

New YORK, Oct. 18th. The will of
Mrs. Alon Fuller Morse, which was filed
for probate in Mineola, L. l. today, gave
to her husband, Tyler Morse, her home in
Westbury, L. l, on the condition that if
he reweds it will revert to her first hus-
band, Harry S. Black, as trustee for her
nephew, Fuller Chenery.
Mrs. Morse left an estate estimated at
SIS, 100000. She was the daughter of the
late George A. Fuller of the Fuller Con.
struction Company. She died in West
bury Oct. 10 last.
Half of the residuary estate is left to
Mr.. Black, from whom she obtained a
divorce, as trustee for Fuller Chenery.
and the other half goes to Mr.. Morse,
who is the executor.
1t is further directed that Mr.. Morse
has the right to sell the home or other
property, provided he does so before he
remarries, and that if he sells he shall
not be held accountable to any one for
the proceeds.
Under an agreement, which.was signed
by both parties, $3.50, 900 is bequeathed
to Mr.. Black. This agreement was made
Dec. 6, 1904, two years before the mar
riage of Mrs. Black to Mr.. Morse and
about year before Mrs. Morse secured
her divorce.

THE STATE HIGHWAYS SYSTEM.
What Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent Says
Of it. The Patrol System to be Adopted.

What Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent Says
Of it. The Patrol System to be Adopted.
In an address before the Portland Ro-
tary Club at Portland last Friday after
noon, Paul D. Sargent, chief engineer of
the Maine State Highway Commission,
made the remarkable and hitherto I'M
published statement that the proposed
State highway system of 1900 miles laid
out by that Commission reaches 70 per-
cent of the population of Maine and
covers 70 percent of the total valuation
of the State. This number of miles
covers only five percent of the total road
mileage of the State, out so carefully has
the Commission worked out its problem
that it runs through every city, every
county seat and every principal town in
Maine. Actually it reaches 23S cities and
towns of the something over 500 within
the limits of the State.
Chief Engineer Sargent declared that
the Commissions plan in the expenditure
of the $2,000,0 900 bond issue was 1.-THE
greatest good to the greatest number. !"
He said that at the end of this season
practically 200 miles of magnificent new
State highw ay would be completed,
Discussing the question of State-aid
highways, Maine had not been idle, he
said, and since 1901, 81, $50, 900 have been
expended upon them.
One noteworthy statement was that,
beginning next year it was planned to
put all State highways, both improved
and unimproved, under the patrol system,
force of about 500 patrolmen covering
every section of Maine, being kept con-
stantly on the highways from April until
late in the Fall, maintaining them in the
best possible condition. At the present
time the plan has been to keep patrolmen
only on the section built, force of 25
only having been employed this year.
The average cost of maintaining the
State Highway Department, he declared,
has been only about six percent, re-
markably low figure.
Hon. Philip ]. Deering of Portland,
chairman of the Maine State Highway
Commission, delivered an address at the
same meeting. He discussed the State
highway situation and told how the Com
mission was honestly endeavoring to give
Maine the very best possible service and
to see that it got dollars worth of high
way for every dollar expended. He de-
clared that when the present bond issue
was expended, the State would have in the
neighborhood of 400 miles of State high
way completed, covering the heaviest
travelled and most important thorough
fares.
Both Mr.. Deering and Mr.. Sargent
were given hearty applause at the con-
clusio;. of their talk
