In the August, 1916, issue of the
New Mexico Farm Courier" an ar
ticle was published on the feeding
value of the mesquite bean (Prosopis
glandulosa). Since that time an adj
ditional experiment has been conduct
ed at the New Mexico agricultural ex-
pertinent station, and the results se-
cured indicate that when properly
ground, the beans have a feeding
value somewhat higher than the pre-
|liminary feeding experiment referred
to indicated.
The second experiment began No
vember Is, and closed January 30,
1917; covering a period of 76 days.
Eight grade Duroc,Jersey pigs, from
the same litter and quite uniform,
were divided into two lots of four
pigs each. The average weight of the
pigs of Lot l was los pounds each:
of those of Lot 2 104 pounds. They
were in fair flesh, but not fat, at the
beginning of the experiment. A on
centrate ration that Appropriated ;
per cent of the live weight was fed

addition to all the choice alfalfa hay
they would eat. The concentrate fed
Lot | consisted of one-half ground
corn and one-half ground mesquite
beans; while that of Lot 2 consisted
of ground corn only. The same
weight of concentrate was fed to each
lot; but Lot l consumed 8 pounds
more of the hay during the expert
ment than Lot 2.
The first four weeks Of the expert
ment the mesquite beans were only
A or 5 per cent less efficient than
corn, in putting on gain. During this
period it required AZ pounds of the
mixture (half corn and half mesquite
.beans) and 2.2 pounds Of alfalfa hay
to- produce a pound of gain, on Lot
i; while AS pounds of corn and 2
pounds of alfalfa were required to
make a pound of gain on Lot 2.
The second four weeks it. required
81 pounds of c"ornnsand mesquite
beans and 90 pounds of alfalfa hay
to produce one pound of gain on Lot 1
and only A pounds of corn and Il.
pound Of alfalfa to produce a pound of
gain on Lot 2.
During the last 20 days Of the ex-
pertinent only 3.4 pounds of the corn
and mesquite beans and 8 pound of
hay, In the case of Lot 1, and 20
pounds of corn and Z pound of hay,
for Lot 2, were required to make al
pound gain.
During tine first nine = weeks the

Year Old
Burns to Death;
Matches Cause

Portales, NJ. M, March 1g-Irving
gibbs Stephenson, the four.year-old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Steph-
enson. was burned to death in a barn
belonging to the Stephenson home. 1t
appears that the little fellow and his
nephew, ]. w. Tubbs, Of about the
same age, were playing about the
barn, when one of them conceived the
idea Of burning their handkerchiefs,
says the Portales Valley News. They
secured some matches and the Steph-
enson boy climbed into the barn and
set fire to it. At the time of the
burning the barn contained about one
and a half tons of prairie hay, and a
barrel of coal oil. The end where
the entrance was had bars across the
opening, making steps or a sort of
ladder, over which the boy climbed.
AT this place also was the hay, and
it Is presumed that after getting in
side he dropped the burning handker.
chief in this hay between him and
the place of entrance, thereby cutting
off all means of getting out Mr..
Stephenson was in town at the time
of the fire. The women and older
SON, Arch, did everything in their
power and were ably assisted by
neighbors, but 1t was impossible to
get the boy out. Arch worked des-
.perately Sc close to the fire that his
face was badly scorched and he was
nearly overcome from the intense
heat. The little Tubbs boy Kept
crying that Irving was burning up,
otherwise it would not have been
known that the other boy was in the
barn. After the barn had burned
down the remains were recovered,
burned beyond recognition.

MESQUITE BEANS VALUABLE AS
PIG FEED, SAYS COLLEGE BULLETIN

might be better to feed a larger pro
portion of the ground mesquite beans
at the beginning Of the f~attenine
period, and q smaller proportion to-
wards the close. They tend to pro-
mote growth, rather than to the rapis
putting on of fat.
While the experiments Thus far con
Quoted along this line have not been
very extensive, they indicate clearly
that the mesquite bean is a valuable
feed; and the indiscriminate cutting
of the bushes, and especially of dig
ging out the roots, should be discour-
aged; unless there is sufficient water
available to make the growing OF
some other plant more profitable. 1t
is not an uncommon thing, in south
ern New Mexico. to see a medium
sized bush, with a spread of not more
than II or IS feet, bearing from a
bushel to a bushel and a half of the
beans-enough to produce several
pounds of meat. A single crop from
some of the bushes is worth more
than the wood they contain; and
they bear quite regularly.
According to the botanists, this
bush or tree possesses the very de-
sirable feature of sending its roots to
water, even though the water table
may be 60 feet or more from the sur
face. No matter how large the crop,
it appears never to suffer for moist
ure, even in the driest years. In adj
dition to the beans, the blossoms fur
nish nectar for the making Of a fine
quality OF honey; and the grass and
weeds seem to grow better-espe-
cally during dry years, when feed is
scarce-in the shade of a vigorous,
producing mesquite bush than they do
in the open. This is attributable
largely. no doubt, to there being more
available moisture in such situations.

Company Secures
Option on Property
For Las Cruces Plant

Las Cruces, N. M, March 19.-The
Holly Sugar corporation has taken a
15-day option, and paid $1,000 for the
same, on the so acres west of the
Santa Fe depot. The transaction was
made through the Freudenthal Farms
company, Of which L. e. Prudential
is manager, and the land is the prop
erty Of Phoebus Prudential, who has
owned the land more than 40 years.
1t is expected that the Holly Sugar
company will build their mill and To-
cate all their local interests upon this
land. The town of Las Cruces will
be re~incorporated SO as to exclude this
land, and the New Mexico legislature
has RENTED taxes for this company
for a period of four years.

OIL NEAR LAS
CANc a

Las Vegas, N. M, March 19-In
opinion of Fayette A. Jones, presi-
dent Of the state school Of mines at
Socorro, there is a good prospect for
oil in the immediate vicinity of Las
Vegas. Mr.. Jones said to a repre-
sentative of The Optic that he had
made no detailed examination, but
from a casual viewing Of the rock
formation, he believes there is a pos
sibility of striking oil. A formation
that often contains oil is visible here,
but, of course, it is as likely to be
as it is to contain anything
of value. Mr.. Jones believes the sit
uation is worth investigating.

made things pick up around the oil
well for a)time, says the Record. Just
how strong is the flow cannot now
be determined because 1t must pass
