Deming and Camp Cody base ball
fans will see big league team in ac-
ton on April 9th and 9TH, when the
Chicago Cubs stop over here for two
games at the camp stadium. Their
opponents in the first game will be
the strong Santa Rita team; in the
second they may be opposed by an
all-star soldier team. The Cubs are
now in California on their annual
training trip and this will be their
only stop between Los Angeles and
NJ. Worth except one day at Santa
Rita just prior to the games here.
The team will arrive in Deming on
the 4th, proceed to Santa Rita for
a game the following day and return
that night for the games at the sta
dunn, bringing the Santa Rita team
with them. The Santa Ritans are no
mean bunch, having as their head
Bill Burns, famous for years as a
big league pitcher, and Bob Keith,
recently Of the New York Americans
pitching staff, who will take turns
at facing the National leaguers.
Burns is handling the affair here,
with the cooperation Of Major Mel
lly, Adjutant General, who started the
negotiations with the Cub manage
ment several weeks ago with the idea
Of providing something very classy
in the way Of entertainment for the
soldiers. The games are open to civ
ilians, however, and il is understood
that no passes will be necessary to
secure admission to the stadium.
The Cubs visit here gives Deming
n look at the team that is being pick
ed by many as the 1918 champions Of
the National league, since the addi-
ton to the team Of the famous "six-
ty thousand dollar battery" Alexan-
der and Killefer, purchased from the
Philadelphia Nationals. John o.
Seys, the publicity secretary Of the
Cubs, who was here with Burns the
first of the week arranging for the
game, says that Alexander, consider
ed by many the greatest pitcher in
the game, will positively work in one
game here, and that Killefer will
catch in both games. Other stars
with the team are Leslie MAIN, Dode
Paskert and Max Flack, who com
prise one Of the strongest outfields
in the big leagues; Fred Merkle, who
forgot to touch second base upon Il
certain historic occasion which no
real fan has ever forgotten, but who
is nevertheless one Of the greatest
Of first basemen; Pete Kilduff, the
greatest infield sensation Of the year
in 1917 Charlie Deal, who gained
fame in the 1914 worlds series with
the Boston Braves; Jim Vaughn, the
National Leagues greatest southp0w
George Tyler, for years a star with
the Braves; and Manager Fred Mitch

Senator B. r, pankey Of Iamy, one
Of the states big cattlemen, promin-

throughout New Mexico, was in DEM
ing the latter part Of last week on
business concerned mostly with the
buying Of beef cattle for his big
ranch near Lamy. He was on his
way TO the calsIemen's convention at
Las Vegas and left for that place
Sunday.
Senator Pankey is being persist
emily boosted by his friends here and
elsewhere as the next Republican can
didate for governor, and while he
depreciates the idea himself it is by
no means out Of the range Of prob
ability that he will be the party's

Speaking Of stock conditions, the
senator gave it as his opinion thai
the highest beef prices on record will
prevail this summer on account Of
the shortage Of cattle, even if thu

Moving Machine Cutting Field
Bar Automatically Removes Hay From s~ath

| Prepared by the United States Depart
| aaent of Agricultural
The proper time to cut field peas for
hay is when most of the pods are well
formed, since considerable of the nu-
TRENT value of the plant is contained
in the seed. When seeded in mixtures
with grain, the time of cutting may be
! governed to some extent by the ma
turity Of the grain, but the varieties
Of peas and grain used in the mixture
should be chosen that the crop can be
harvested at the most favorable Pc
riOd of maturity for both. Formerly,
a crop Of field peas was considered
very difficult to harvest, and much Of
the harvesting was done with scythe
or an old-fashioned cradle. This was
thought necessary, first, because the
vines are often tangled and, second,
because of the loss from SCATTERING
where mower and rake are used. There
is now available, however, an attach
| ment for the ordinary mower which
consists Of guards that extend in front
of the cutter bar, lifting the vines off
the ground so that the mower can pass
underneath without becoming entang-
led in the vines themselves. There Is
also a WindrOW attachment which eff
fectually removes the peas from the
swath and leaves them in a windrOw
behind the mower. Where such an at
tachment is not used it is necessary
to have a man with a fork follow the
mower and move the vines to one side,
so that the team and mower will not
pass over the peas in the following
round. The peas can be left in the
windrow or punched with a rake and
left until dry and ready to stack.
When stacked in the open it is neces-
sary to protect the stacks by means
Of canvas covers or with layer of
green grass placed over the top.
The field pea should be cut for seed
when the pods are fully mature and the
peas have become firm.
If the peas are rained on during the
period while they are curing in the
windrow or in punches, they should be
turned over as soon as the top of the
bunch is dry. If this is not done the
peas underneath will swell and burst
the pods, so that when they become
dry a great percentage will she'll out
and be left on the ground. Whenever
possible, the peas which are intended
for threshtng should be stacked under
a shed, but if necessary to build the
rick outside, it must be protected as
noted for hay.
The threshing Of the field pea is usu-
ally done with an ordinary grain sep
arator fitted up especially for the pea
by the substitution of blank concave
teeth below the cylinder. Usually four

BLACKLEG CAUSED BY GERMS
HiqhIy-Bred Calves Should Be Vac
cinated Before 1t Picks Up
Little Organisms.

Blackleg is caused by small germ,
an organism about one three-thou-
sandth of an inch long. This organism
multiplies very rapidly by one organ
ism dividing into two individuals and
these again dividing in the same way.
Also by producing very much smaller
spores or seeds. These spores are very
hardy and resist extreme heat and
cold, remaining alive sometimes for
MANY years. AS a consequence when
a pasture, corral or feedlot is once
contaminated with the organism there
is no telling how long it will harbor
the Infection. Disinfecting such prem
ises is impractical. Safety lies in vac
cination. In all contagious or germ
diseases the animals most likely to get
sick are those whose constitution is
more or less weakened from any cause
at WEAVING time, after changing from
poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice
versa. Immunizing beforehand insures

HINTS ON MILK PRODUCTION

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
After any foodstuff is produced one
Of the important things is to see that
It is put on the market in good shape
so that it will keep for q reasonable
length of time without loss through
spoilage. In this time of need for food
every effort should be made to prevent
milk from spelling. Cows should be
kept clean and should be MIXED in
clean surroundings into small-top or
covered pail. All utensils which come
into contact with the milk should be
thoroughly sterilized with steam for at
least five minutes, and milk should be
cooled promptly to SO degrees Fahr-
enheit or less and maintained at that
temperature. Whenever these cOndi-
tons are met, little milk will be
wasted. In this time Of terrible de-
struction of human life 1t is particu-
larly necessary that milk be produced
under such conditions as to insure a
safe food for babies. This must be
done by a decreasing number Of men
trained to do it. A great task and a
great opportunity for dairymen are
involved.

BEST DAIRY CATTLE BREEDS
In Making Selection Dairyman Should
Take Local and Market Conditions
Into Consideration.

prepared by the United States Depart

Breeds of dairy cattle differ in both
conformation and general Characters
tics. Each has been developed for GER
tain ends. To make the greatest sue
cess "a dairyman in selecting a breed
should take local conditions and mar
keting requirements into considera-
ton in connection with the characteris-
tics of the various breeds. He should
not allow personal preference to infiu-
ence his selection if his favorite breed
is unsuited to local conditions, but
should give careful consideration to
the breed or breeds already estab-
lished in his community. In such Sc
lection he is benefited in many ways.

FEEDING THE Sucking PIGS
SheIIed Corn Is Particularly Good
When They Begin to Nose
Around for Food.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
When the pigs are about three weeks
old, sometimes less, they will begin to
nose around for something to eat. If
they are going to do as they should this
something must be supplied. One Of
the best feeds at this particular time
is she1led corn. It should be in self
feeder in a pen where the pigs can go
to it and will not be bothered by any
Of the rest of the hogs. This can be
arranged by a creep just large enough
to admit the pigs handily. Don't forget
that these little fellows grow quite
rapidly and from time to time the
creep must be made larger. After the
pigs are 4 or weeks old, especially If
they do not have good grass pasture,
the addition of some shorts, tankage,
or Oil meal is advisable. Nothing
would be better, however, than skim
milk. The self-feeder in which is
kept corn and other feeds should be
maintained right along up until wean
ing time, and after that if the pig is
intended for market purposes. Pigs
to be used for breeding purposes may
be kept on q self-feeder all the time
with splendid results, but in some
cases they get too fat and logy and do
not take the proper exercise. The most
profitable pig is the one that never
quits growing from narrowing time
until he is driven over the scales.
