Fred Holt formerly proprietor of theFarmington Times, is now a partnerof Charley Day in the publication ofthe Cortez Journal. It ia said tbatFred was suffering from nervous

prostration, brain fag, or some equallyserious ailment caused by his arduousduties in Farmington, and secured theservices of an able writer, resident ofthe same village, to "spell" him a bitin his editorial tasks. Fred becameacquainted with his editor's daughter,wooed her, and finally asked papa'seonsent. They dickered for some timeand finally traded. Fred took the girland the old geut the print shop. Thisexplains the presence of the former inCortez. Durango Democrat.

The Times regret to chronicle thedeath of Mrs. George Tinker who pass-ed away last Monday morning at herresidence, Cedar Hill, after an illnessof two weeks. She leaves her husbandand five small children to mourn herdeparture. Her last hours were spentwith her loved ones round her couch,and in that prayerful communion soassuring to those left behind of a joy-ful meeting in the great hereafter.Mrs. Frank Waller and Miss. Myers ofHowardsville, Colo., sisters of Mrs.Tinker arrived last Monday on thestage hoping to be in time to see theirsister in her last hours but were toolate.

B. M. Prewitt returned from GallupTuesday. He reports Gallup as booming. The citizens there are calculat-ing on building a large reservoir in aapot where the formation of the coun-

try is adapted for that purpose. TheA & P. whoie line runs through theloca'i' will move their line to permitof - e reservoir being construed.Mr. Prewitt had a pretty narro es-

cape on his return across the reserva-tion. He was on foot and struck Man-

uelito r ' rings instead of Togay. Hedid ttwo days' hard walking almostwithout water and arrived at Sulphursprings in an exhausted condition. A

day or two's rest let him up and en-

abled him to land home safe andsound.

A LIVING WAXWORK.

is nothingIn this world thatpersons dislikemore than beingmade to appear ri-

diculous and thereis nothing easierthan to fool per-sons.

I went to a wax--

o r k exhibitiontwice last week andsat down In my or

dinary street dress on the settee by themiddle door in the main hall, next tothe wax figure of the old man readinga programme.

I settled Into a comfortable position,kept perfectly still, and waited to seehow many persons would take me for awax figure.

Mtn and women, catalogue in hand,stopped and looked at me. They wouldlook In the catalogue and find the de-

scription of the old man reading theprogramme, but not a line about theyoung woman sitting near him.

Then the attendant would come upand explain that I was a new figureJust made and put up that afternoon,whereupon the visitors would remarkthat it was a wonderful imitation andwalk away.

As long as they made no personalcomments I could stand it very well,but Tuesday was the day for the coun-try visitors, and I had such a funny ex-perience with farmer Hayseed and hiswife, after I had been there some time,that it nearly upset me for the rest ofthe afternoon.

I could see them as they came in thedoor a tall, rugged man, about fiftyyears old, with big boots, slouch hat,and heavy overcoat, and a little driedup woman, dressed in finery of sometwenty years ago, with sharp, grayeyes, and hands knotted from work acouple to attract attention anywhere.They began at the entrance and missednothing. Presently they stood directlyin front of me and peered curiously intomy face.

I began to be afraid of what was com-ing. I suppose I must have looked atthem with too natural an interest, forfinally the old man said:

"Here, Maria, do I look ill er any-thing? Do I look as if I was goin' tohave a fever?"

"Why, no, John. What ye askln' methat for?" she answered, looking anx-iously at him.

"Nuthin', only I wish you would lookat them eyes in that figger'r, head andsee if they foller you like they do me."

I saw what was coming, and when shelooked straight into my eyes I opened

IP jf ,

"REPENT AND SIN NO MORE."them wide and put as much expressioninto them as I could. Then with won-der in their faces they walked back andforth In front of me, not taking theireyes off for a moment. I did not move,but let my glasses follow them withoutwavering.

Presently the woman said, turning toher husband, with a pathetic little quiv-er In her voice:

"I think, John, I'd like to go homo.Them figgers Is so life-lik- it's almostuncanny, and I don't think I want tosee any tnore."

By this time several persons hadgathered around the couple, their ac-tions attracting more attention thananything else. I was so Interested inkeeping up the deception that I foundno great difficulty in keeping an un-moved countenance.

"Pouf! Wlmmin is always afraid ofthings," the farmer retorted, with agreat show of bravery.

"I will Jlst show you how silly it isto be scared of only a wax figger."

He took hold of my arm and startedto put his hand under my chin, when,still keeping my eyes on his, I said, lrias deep and mechanical voice as I couldassume:

"Repent and sin no more!"He gave one blood-curdlin- g howl and

started on a dead run for the door, hiswife following him with tremblinglimbs. Others became very much ex-cited, and followed the couple to thedoor, and for a few moments pande-monium reigned.

When the attendant tried to stop theman he dropped on his kr;s and, lift-ing his clasped hands, said;

"I'll never touch another drop as longas I live. Mister, please let me go!Maria, there, she'll witness what I say

won't you Maria? Oh, to think I'vegot 'em so bad as to hear wax figgentalk."

After considerable talking they com-posed him a little, and then the atten-ded told him I was only a mechanicalfiiece that talked when I was touched.He seemed relieved at that, and wasfirinlly persuaded to go back and seethe rest; but he would not look at meagain, no matter how many times hestood near me, and It was very funnyto see how persistently he avoided myeyes.

The whole affair was so droll that Igave up hat afternoon, for I could notget the man out my mind, and everyfew moments I would find myself smil-ing broadly at the remembrance of itall.

I went dowstrtlrs into the chamber ofhorrors the next day, and took a seat

near the Plank tragedy, where thelight is a little dim. 1 had not beenthere long when a young girl and anactor, who is a member of a comic operacompany, came along and seated them-selves near me. They had paid littleattention to me, my fixed position giv-ing them the Idea that I was a waxfigure, so I became the recipient of avery interesting bit of conversation.

"I don't care," she said. "Everyonecan see that she Is in love with you.Every night I am there I watch her inall her insolent beauty, and feel as if I

could choke her when she looks at youso."

"My dear child," he said, In drawlingtenes, "you must not come to the thea-ter so often, then. You know I loveyou, but I must be pleasant to her, any-way. Don't worry your little headabout her. She don't care for me."

"Yes, she does; everyone says shedoes, and I can't stand It. She has gota bag of meal, at any rate, even If herface la beautiful."

"That's very true," he hastened toassure her, with a glance at her owntrim figure, "and I"They moved away, and I could notcatch the rest of the sentence.

I did not notice the approach of two"chappies" until I heard one of themsay, leaning over and looking Into myface:

"By Jove, Charlie, If this wasn't a wasgirl I'd be tempted to kiss her. Howwonderfully life-lik- e they make thesethings."

I looked straight at him, and slowlywinked one eye.

He looked at me in a shamefacedmanner, and then, without a word, drewhis companion to a farther corner ofthe corridor and I could see by theirglances that I was the subject of con-versation. They came toward me againIn a few minutes, and I heard the onewho had spoken first, say:

"I am going to see, and if she is alive,I'll make her talk."

He stepped up and put his hand on myshoulder. I gave a prolonged groan,and he dropped his hand.

"Wait a minute, Jack, old boy. Letme see what I can do," said the other,making a stride In my direction. Icould see mischief in his eye, and Ithought it time to put a stop to theirfun. With as much dignity as I couldassume, I got up and walked away,leaving them staring after me in as-

tonishment. Yankee Blade.

LIVES WITHOUT EATING.

Mr. Castle's Thront Is Too Sniull for

Solid Food.There Is a man in Chicago named O.

F. Castle, who lives without eating. Heis 24 years old now, and he hasn't swal-lowed a bite since he was S. This is noton account of any Innate dislike forsolid food, but from physical necessity,One day when he was about 8 years oldMaster Castle found a tin can on whichwas the picture of a large, luciouspeach. He thought it contained peaches,but as a matter of fact the can con-

tained a solution of potash used inscrubbing the floor. He took the largestspoon he could find, says the ChicagoNews, that he might dispatch thetempting dish with all possible haste.The powerful alkali so burned histhroat that strictures formed in it, andafter that he was unable to swallowanything but liquids. Despite lliisdrawback he continues to thrive almostas well as he had done in his peach-eatin- g

days. At the age of 19, while amember of a cadet corps In Detroit, heentered a twenty-fiv- e mile race withtwenty other cadets of his oWn age,and, notwithstanding their advantageof three square meals a day, he wasthird man under the wire at the finish.It sometimes happens that the strict-ures In Mr. Castle's throat become ag-

gravated, so that for days at a timehe is unable to swallow even liquids.But trifles like this do not disturb himIn the least, for, leading from his sideto his stomach is a rubber tube, whichhe can uncork and through which hecan pour liquids into his stomach un-

til the cravings of nature are satisfied.This almost miraculous surgical opera-tion was performed by Dr. Fenger ofthis city about three years ago, whenMr. Castle had been suffering frompneumonia and bronchitis. Mr. Castlebelieves that by treating his throatwith bougies he can effect a permanentcure. In the meantime he is thrivingon his liquid diet, which consists of twoquarts of milk and one quart of beeftea a day. Though somewhat thin,there is nothing in his appearance todistinguish him from his flesh-eatin- g

and herblverous fellow-me-

director, lives?" she shouted againstthe strong March wind blowing In herface.

The man got off the stack and cameto the fence. He could not come to thebuggy, because turnpiklng the roadhad made a ditch, which was filled withwater by the spring thaw. So he stoodby the fence, with one foot on the lowerboard, as she repeated her question.

"I'm him," was the laconic reply."I wished to see you about the school.

I'm a teacher."He regarded her with a contempla-

tive stare for a minute."Humph!" he said, breaking a long

splinter off the top board and chewingit meditatively.

"Well, you drive round to the housebehind them popplers. There's nobodyhome, but I'll be up presently."

She saw in the direction indicated byhis hand a farmhouse, beyond a doublewindbreak of Lombardy poplars.

"Keep well to the left as you turnthe corner. The bottom is all out, wherethe sun gets to the frost," he calledafter her.

"And you hired her, father?""Yes," replied Mr. Todd from the

depths of his weekly paper.Mrs. Todd and her son, Morton, had

been to the village six miles away, withbutter and eggs. They brought themail for the neighborhood.

"But the other directors?" pursuedMrs. Todd.

Mrs. Todd miffed. She was thinking3f her own long, cold ride, which hadbeen urged upon her that morning.

"Where will she board?" was the nextventure after a protracted silence.

Mr. Todd put down his paper."I told her she might board here If

ihe could put up with our ways and not?xpect any fixings.

"Hiram Todd! Didn't I say after wejot clear of that Anastasla Lee girl I'dnever board another woman teacher?iiid then Morton."

"What of Mort?""Why, he's most seventeen. Who is

she, anyway?" continued Mrs. Todd,iiscontentedly.

"I dunno. She lives in the countyipat and has a first-clas- s

She has a boss recommend from thesuperintendent', too. Mort could go fur-

ther and fare worse, but she won't look

'ontinue the subject, for Morton came;n just then, having distributed thenail among the neighbors.

May was drawing to a close. Schooltad been in Bession a month. The newceachcr sat on the low piazza in a lowmair. Morton Bat on the floor at herfeet. , .

The cows were milked and the kln-llln- g

until the night settled."I don't know how we got along be-

As she read "Wake Robin" aloud Insoftly modulated tone9 a new worldopened to the boy.

Years after Morton Todd looked backfrom the chair of natural history inthe state university to that evening asthe impetus of his intellectual life, andfeels glad his companion did not sus-

pect what was then In his foolish younghead.

The full June moon shone upon twowalking slowly along the country road.A young man In gray jeans, trouserstucked In his boots, and the schoolteacher. She was going home from thespelling school and the mile road wasso lonely.

Some steps led over the fence to a

path across the pasture."Let us go this way," she suggested.The fire-flie- s were flashing over the

damp meadow and she sat at the topstep a moment 10 iook ai tnem. tittook his hat off tnd stood beside thesteps.

"I wish I could tell you something,'he began, hesitatingly.

"I will gladly listen," said the sympathetlc voice, encouragingly.

A tale of wrongdoing, dishonesty anddeception followed, in an eager burstof confidence.

"I don't know why I tell you. I hateIt. I must live better!"

"A man needs woman's sympathy torise," she said, as he grasped her hand.Then she came down the steps.

"This soft moonlight makes me thinkof Tlllle May," she went on, gently.

"I do not know what her father woulddo with all those boys without her.She is always so loving and bright."

Then the conversation drifted to othertopics.

Tlllle May makes an excellent wife.The upright young farmer remembersa night in June when he first thoughtof her in that light, and Is glad thathe did not continue his confidenceswith his companion.

July Is ended, and the school termwith it. Mr. Barnes, the other director,has just signed the last money orderand handed it to the teacher.

"Your little Hattie will soon be largoenough to teach the school. She isvery bright and so like her mother,they tell me. You must be sure she hasevery advantage."

His eyes grew moist as the little girlcame in.

He drew her to his knee. She waslike her mother; he never noticed It

"I'd 'a never done It but for thatteacher," he declared, and his heartwarmed with gratitude for what shehad done without knowing what morehe wished her to do.

REV. SAM JONES.

The Revivalist Had a Parting Bit of FmWith Ills Audience

An amusing Incident occurred nt theclose of Sau Jones' sermon at Pulaskithe other day. Stepping down fromthe pulpit, folding his hands across Iti- -

broast and looking solemnly over theaudience, the great revivalist said:

"I wain all the women in this crowdwho have not spoken a harsh word orharbored an unkind thought towardtheir husbands for a month past tostand up."

One old womau, apparently on theshady side of tlU, stood up.

"Come forward and give mo yourhand," said the preacher.

The woman did so."Now turn and let this audience see

the best looking woman iu the coun-try."

After taking her seat the revivalistaddressed the men:

"Now, I want all the men In thlcrowd who have not spoken a hardword or harbored an unkind thoughttoward their wives, to stand up."

Twenty-seve- n great big, strappingfellows hopped out of the audiencewith all the alacrity of champagnecorks.

"Come forward and give me yourhands, my dear boys."

Jones gave each one a vigorous shakeafter which he ranged them all side byside in front of the pulpit and facingthe audience. He looked them overcarefully and solemnly, and then, turn-ing around to the audience, he said:

Remington &Sons' great factory at Illon. N. Y.After leaving there he refused a tempt-ing offer of the Chinese government togo to China to superintend their gov-ernment factories. and accepted in-stead the 6uperintendency of the Win-ches tM Arms Co.. at New Haven, at aBalmy of $7,fdK) a year.

It was after this long term of activelabor as a business man that he foundhimself incapacitated for further serviceby the embargo which rheumatism hadlaid upon him and resigned his positionmore than two years ago. and returnedto Belchertown, Mass., where he nowlives and owns the Phelps farm.

Heing a man of means he did notspare the cost and was treated bj' lead-ing physicians and by baths of cele-brated springs without receiving anybenefit worth notice. During the sum-mer or 1MI3 and the winter of 1894 Mr.Clougb was confined to his house InBelchertown, being unable to rise fromhis bed without assistance, and suffer-ing continually with ncuf pains andWith no taste or desire for food, nor washe able to obtain BUfflcient sleep.

Early in the year 1894 Mr. ClOUghheard of Dr. W illiams' l'lnk Pills forPale People. He began taking thesepills about the first of March, 1891, andcontinued to do so until the first part ofSeptember following. The first efTectnoticed was a better appetite and hebegan to note more ability to help him-self oft the bed and to be better gen-erally. Last August (1S94) he was ableto go alone to his summer residence andfarm of 163 acres on Grenadior island,among the Thousand Islands, In theRiver Bt.

Instead f being confined to his bedMr. dough is now and has been forsome time able to be about the farm toStreet the men employed there and he isthankful for what Mr. Williams' PinkPills have done for him.

These pills are manufactured by theDr. Williams' Medicine company, Sche-nectady, X.

AN AID TO PROGRESS.

SILVER THE PROTECTOR OFWEALTH MAKERS.

A SUtUtlcl Bovlew b, George K. ,

lombe Showing the Achievement! ofthe Nation Under the BimetallicPolicy Knln In Cold standard.

The United States emerged from thewar of Independence with a debt ofabout $76,000,000, of which $11,000,000was held abroad, chiefly in France,Holland and Germany. The new gov-ernment at its outset found itself with-out revenues, without commerce andwithout credit at home or abroad. Thecirculating medium of the countryconsisted chiefly of a depreciated papercurrency, which was worth in 1780 only40 to 1 in silver. At this time sugarsold for $is a pound and eggs at $12a dozen.

The question of providing a cur-rency for the country was taken upby congress in 1781, but it was notuuttl 1794 that the mint went Intooperation, and in that year some silverwas coined and the year followinga little gold, the ratio being 15 to 1.The amount of silver coined was In-significant, from the fact that the re-sources of the mint were the foreigncoins that came into the country andthe silver plate held by private indi-viduals which was sent to the mint toto be trasformed into money. Thetotal coinage of gold up to 1834 was$14,000,000, but little or none was incirculation before 1820 and none afterthat date, it being drawn to England.Subsidiary silver was the only metallicmoney except cents in circulation upto about 1840. The reason more goldthan silver was coined was that asearly as 1779 gold was found in NorthCarolina and Alabama, the mines ofwhich yielded up to 1873 about $20,000,-00- 0

worth of gold. It was not knownthat silver in any considerable quan-tities existed in the country until itsdiscovery in Nevada in 1859. The dis-covery of gold in California and silverin Nevada modified largely our finan-cial theories and laws.

Previous to 1840 silver was the onlymoney in circulation in the country, ex-

cept the paper issues of the statebanks.

What did the country accomplishduring the silver period between 1794and 1S40?

First, it paid off its revolutionarywar debt, and by this means estab-lished its credit the world over. Dur-ing this period the nation had a de-

gree of prosperity that was unprec-edented in the history of the worldand our foreign trade and commercebecame enormous. From no com-merce at all in 1790 we had reacheda position where, in 1S59, 64 per centof our exports and 75 per cent of ourimports were carried in American ves-sels. 1894 only 19 per cent of our im-

ports and 8 per cent of our exportswere carried in American vessels. Onthe high seas our only rival was GreatBritain, and there was more truth thanpoetry In the declaration that our sailswhitened every sea.

Second, silver carried the governmentthrough the war of 18i2 with GroatBritain and established our claim thatthe American flag protected an Ameri-can seaman without regard to his nationality, and this has not since beena subject of dispute. This war en-

tailed a debt on the government cfnearly $100,000,000, which was not onlyitself paid off but all preceding obli-

gations were discharged, so that Jan.1, 1S3G, the government was out of debtti nd had a surplus in the treasury of$40,000,000. Congress took action asto how it might reduce the revenuesof the government, and a hill waspassed in June, 1S36, to distribute thesurplus, over $5,000,000, among thestates of the union, and over $28,000,-00- 0

was so distributed.

Third, in this silver period the coun-

try became one of the great manufac-turing countries of the globe. Our cot

ton product Increased from 18.000,000

pounds to 834,000,000 pounds, and thenumber of spindles was larger percapita in the United States than in.Great Britain. In iron, agriculture,paper and woolens wo were hardlyoutranked on the globe. In 1790

of American manufactures wasabout $20,000,000, but In 1S40 It reached,in round numbers, a value of $SOO,000,-00- 0.

Fourth, the government addedenormously to the extent of our publicdomain, in isuj ine Louisiana pur-

chase was made from France, whichadded more than 1,000,000 square milesto our territory at a cost of $11,250,030,

which our government paid in bonuswhich the French took, so well established had our national credit become.In 1819 the purchase of Florida wasmade from Spain, costing us $5,000,000

and adding 66,000 square miles to ourj area. In 1845 New Mexico was pur-

chased from Texas at a cost of 0,

by which we acquired 121,201

j square miles of territory. In 1848, by

the expenditure of $15,000,000, we itc--'

quired, including Texas, 875,000 squaremiles of additional territory. In 1S&3

the Gadsen purchase gave us an In-

creased area of 45,535 square miles ata cost of $10,000,000, and in 18GS tbeRussian cession of Alaska add.ed. $80.- -

000 square miles to our country At acost of $7,200,000.

This Indicates that with a bimetallkstandard we added by purchase to ourthirteen states 1,719,511,040 acres ofland at a cost of J58,450,OOO, not in- -

rhirllne the exnensc of Dip war with. , h D103s Z f,r,tn,,l

grQwth hM ot been equaled sinceKome was the mistress of the world,and it was made almost entirely bypurchase and not by conquest andbloodshed.

Besides this, re built, up to ISP),2,265 miles of railroad and increasedthe number of our posToffices to 13,468,the postal expenditures being $4,718,-23- 6.

The value of our domestic mer-

chandise exported iached $111,600,561and of our agricultiwal products 7,

while the ttJtal value of ourimports was $107,1 11, 119. In 1840 thevalue of our merchant marine was$2,180,764. In banking the country had-mad-

no less rapid striies, the capita" aof our banks having increased from apractically nothing to 4358,400,000 in1840. The people had increased inwealth and number, lar.te cities hadbeen built, the tide of population wasacross the continent to th prairies of Itthe west, and Anverlca wa3' recognizedthe world over as the ideal home of aprosperous, rich, free, consented peo-

ple.The decade between 1830 and 1840

was the beginning of a new a in thefinancial history of the United States.In 1830 we had in circulation in thecountry $190,309 in gold and $1,693,246in silver, making a total metallic cur-

rency of $1,8S3,555. In 1840 the goldIn circulation amounted to $1,875,613and the silver to $2,765,228, ourminta being open to both and re-

mained so until 1S73, when sil"r wasdemonetized. There had been littlechange In the ratio between tbe twometalt, and the two were easily main-tained at a parity. What did thecountry achieve during the period from1840 ttt 1873, during which time thetwo metals, gold and silvr, circulatedand ware carried freely together?

It is simply impossible to recouat orhardlj touch upon the evidences of themarvelous prosperity of me countryand Its people. A few tilings :rtandout as phenomenal.

The country went through the Hex-lea- n

war without feeling its cost. LaterIt carried to a successful issue thebloodiest and moat expensive war Intho annals of history, costing millionsof dollars and entailing on the. govern-ment a debt of $2,773,236,173, of whichover $521,1X10.000 had been paid pre-

vious to 1873: we had built nearlj B0v-0-

miles cf railroads and 154.472 milesof telegraph; we had Increased"' our 'for-eign trade from $140,000,000 in to$1,270,: 05,643 in 1873; we built enor-mous ciMcs; our agricultural productshave increased a thousandfold and ammanufactured goods were supplantingin tho markets of tho world he prtvducts of tbe older nations. O.rr gov-

ernment bonds have a credit thatmakes them the favorite investmentin all the money markets of th (world),and American securities were souglirby the 'capitalists of every nation i.iChristendom. We bad also reducedour rates of interest, not only on ot;rpublic bonded indebtedness, bu (by tbestatutes of nearly every stat' 'in Ubrunion. Money was abundant,! laborwas in demand and adequately paid .

factories-,- , forges and furnace? waracrowded with work, universities andcolleges were founded beyond '.;ic hopesof twenty years ago; 4,000,OCd stoveshad been freed and crowned with citizenship; the mines of the country wereturning ant millions upon million ofdollars' worth of gold, silver, iron, cop-

per antf lead annually; and, hfc a word,the people were becoming the richestper capita of any nation on the globewith oae exception.

This- was accomplished iwdrtle in hada double money standard and freecoinage of both silver and gold. Of asudden in 1873 the lawmakers In con-Sr.o- ss

forgot the old adage; as true asIt is trite, "Let well cnoug-ft-alonp,- " andpassed a law the scope u which wasunderstood neither by thttioongressmenwho passed it, the president who sanc-tioned it nor the people-- who wero

by it. It was Mr demonetiza-tion act that overturn'! che whole f-

inancial system of the Cfftmtry and with-

drew from silver, the money of the peo-

P" M IT A CHEESEMAKers convention inWisconsin, Prof.W. A. Henry said:

Canada has builtup a most enviablereputation, and Idon't wonder tbatwe are almost jea-lous, because theyhave taken It awayfrom us in part; wehave lost that repu

tation through the narrow-mindedne- ss

of certain factorymen;we have lost the trade of 35,000,000 ofconsumers across the water. Well,what shall we do about It? Cry overit? Not at all. Let us take a lensonfrom our neighbors, then let us kirnright around and say, "Where is themarket?" Granted that we have lostthe English market, in part, is thereany other place where we can put ourcheese? Why, bless your soul, there are65,6(56,000 of people right around us.Whlgh would you rather have, 65,000.-00- 0

American people to feed cheeso to,or 35,000,000 Britishers? A gentlennncame to me this morning and said: "Ihave got a cheese in my store and Iwant it analyzed. I believe it is filledcheese; it is no good." Another onecame to me last fall, and said: "Whatcan be the matter with all the cheese?"He went on and described It and It wasevidently filled cheese. I told him itwas, and that I was afraid it came fromIllinois or Wisconsin. Every day, al-

most, we hear of examples of this kind;the country is flooded with them. Howlong can business be run on those prin-ciples and succeed? How long can peo-

ple who are catering to others keepthem from eating good cheese? We arefurnishing such poor stuff that nobodyIs going to eat it. It won't take longto crowd the cheese off our tables en-tirely with other kinds of foods. Now,let us cater for the home trade. Why,Wisconsin cannot begin to supply those65,000,000 of people with cheese. Wis-consin, itself, could eat quite a largopart of all the cheese she now makes, If

ur people were properly educated andhad the right cheese. I have peoplecome to me every day and tell me theydo wish they could get a piece of goodcheese, Between feeding our peopleculls and spurious food, we have prettynearly killed off the demand.

We now have things headed in theright direction; we have a dairy schoolat Madison, which, I hope, is doingsome good; we have better laws on ourstatute books; we have our organiza-tions; before me are lots of young menfull of the desire to do something bet-ter; full of Uie desire to better them-selves by bettering the business Inwhich they are engaged. Now, I ap-

peal to those young men to stand to-

gether firmly for honesty. Begin bydoubling up your factories, so thatthere are fewer of them with more milkto work up.

We must begin to run our factories ina more cleanly way. The truth is, weare awfully dirty. A gentleman toldmo about buying a factory up north,where he had to tear up the floor andscrape out over one foot of solid dirt,which was filled with putrefying mat-ter, and carry it off and dump it intofields and haul in clean earth, beforehe could start his factory. You allknow that there is lots of filth in thefactories. We had a number of Ger-

man and Russian professors broughtover here by the World's Fair, andthey were simply disgusted with ourAmerican methods. They had heardabout our American factories and ed

to find something fine, but in-

stead of that they found little dirtysheds.

Oar Dairy Interest.The dairying Interest of the United

Ptates has grown to be one of greatmagnitude. The home value of the but-ter and cheese product, exclusive of thevalue of buttermilk, skimmed milk,whey and other residuum, amounted inthe census year of 1890 to about $237.-000,00- 0,

of which amount about $216,-000,00- 0

were for butter. Of the totalnumber of pounds of butter producedbut 2.47 per cent was exported, whileof the total quantity of cheese made 37per cent was exported. The consump-

tion of cheese per capita of the popula-tion In the United States was 2.74pounds In 1870, 2.30 pounds In 18S0, and2.57 pounds in 1890. The consump-

tion of butter per capita increased from13.28 pounds in 1870 and 15.3 pounds in1880 to 18.77 pounds in 1890. It wiM as-

tonish the average dairyman to knowthat while over 90 per cent of thecheese is made in factories, only 15--per cent of the butter product of 1889was made in factories, and in spite ofthe development of the creamery busi-ness, since It Is probable that not over

one-fourt- h, or at most one-thir- d, of thebutter product of the past year wasmade on farms.

In 1880 there were 3,932 butter andcheese factories in the United States,employing a capital of $9,605,000, andthe total value of their productwas 425,743,000, or 2.458 for eachdollar of capital employed. In1890 there were 4,552 factories,Including condensed milk factor-ies, with a capital of $16,017,000, pro-

ducing products valued at $60,630,600,of $3.78 of products for each dollar ofcapital Invested. The value of thecondensed milk was $3,586,927, ofwhich amount Illinois produced $2,0)2.-60- 0,

New York $1,227,714, Michigan,327,873, and Rhode Island $21,840.

; The total product of butter amount- -

ed. in 1890, to 1.206.5O8.OOO pound", ofwhich amount 24 per cent was mart?in the north Atlantic division, 7 pei'cent in the south Atlantic states, 54 percent in the north central group, 11 percent in the south central division, and 4per cent in the western division. Only181,000,000 pounds of butter were madein factories in the last census year, orless than 15 per cent, the rest beingmade in farm dairies.

IIow lo Fowl) nni,

Do i'ow la read the weather? Anold Pennsylvania farmer says theydo. Have any of our readers no-

ticed such facts as he states in the fol-

lowing:"I always know when there is to be a

windstorm by watching the turkeysand chickens go to roost each night. Incalm weather the fowls always rooston their poles with their heads alter-nating each way; that is, one faces east,the next west, and so on. But whenthere is going to be a high wind theyalways roost with their heads towardsthe direction from which It Is coming.There are reasons for these differentways of roosting, I take it. When thereis no wind to guard against they cansee other danger more readily If theyare headed in both directions, but whenwind is to arise they face it becausethey can hold their positions better.But the part I can't understand," heconcluded, "is how the critters knowthat the wind is going to rise when wemortals lack alt intimation of it." Ex.

A Cheap Poultry House,

In these days of advancement everyfarmer nea.iy is paying moro atten-tion to poultry than formerly. Thenecessity for a good serviceable chickenhouse becomes more apparent to thefarmer the more he investigates thesubject. Those that can afford to buildquite expensive houses should do o,and will find that it will be a pay-ing investment. By "quite expensive"we mean having all the adjuncts thattend to make the fowls comfortable,and with the very best of modern ar-rangements for the floors, roosts, doors,windows, runs and fences.

Many farmers, however, will not af-

ford such houses, and some cannot. Forsuch we give an illustration showingone that may be built at very smallcost. It is supposed to be large enoughonly to accommodate 20 fowl3. The

materials for this, with the exceptionof the sash, cost less than $4. Thestructure is nine feet wide, twelve feetlong, and five feet high. The short sideof the roof is two feet long, and thelong side, which fronts south and comesto within eighteen inches of the ground,is seven feet. At the further end theroof boards extend over an openingmade for the fowls to pass in and out.The perches are one foot above tnefloor and extend along the north sideof the Interior. The bottom board onthat side is hung with hinges so itcan be raised, and the droppings underthe perches scraped out. The nestboxes are ranged along the low side,the dust box is placed in the sunniestspot, and the feed and water troughsnear the door. One pane of glass inthe sash Is loose, so It may be moveddown for ventilation. The floor shouldbe covered by sand when obtainable, itnot, with straw, chaff, or other likematerial that can be raked out whensoiled. The whole interior should begiven a coat of fresh lime whitewashat least four times a year, and theperches swabbed with kerosene. Thispoultry house is easily cleaned, andanswers the purpose nearly as well asone costing twenty times as much.

Feeding the Hen.To keep a hen in good condition for

laying she should never have a fullcrop during the day. It Is not wrongto give a light meal of mixed food,warm in the morning, in the trough,but such meal should he only one-four- th

the quantity the hens require.They should go away from the troughunsatisfied, and should then seek theirfood, deriving it grain by grain, en-

gaging in healthy exercise in order toobtain it, and in such circumstancesthe food will be passed into the giz-

zard slowly, and the better digested.Gradually the hen will accumulatesufficient food to provide for the night,going on the roost with a full crop,where she can leisurely forward Itfrom the crop to the gizzard. Feed-ing soft food leads to many errors onthe part of the beginner, causing himto overfeed and pamper his hens, andby it they will reach a conditionthat Is entirely antagonistic to laying.It is much better to feed hard grainsonly than to feed from a trough, un-

less the soft food is carefully measured.A quart of mixed, ground grain, moist-ened and in a crumbly condition,should be sufficient for forty hens as a"starter" for the morning, but twoquarts of whole grain should then bescattered in litter for them to seek andsecure for themselves. Ex.

Missouri Antl-Ole- o Bill fi Law.The welcomo news ha3 been tele-graphed to St Louis and heralded tothe whole dairy world that GovernorStone has signed the antl-ole- o bill andthat the same has become the law ofMissouri. Thus one by one do thegreat states fall into line and adoptmeasures to restrict to its native andlegitimate domain this gross fraud up-

on the community, and so far at leastgive to the people a pure food bill.

Clover for Fattening; nop.To the Farmers' Review: I have

Just been reading an article, in yourissue of May 1, on summer feeding ofhogs, that seems to me to be a littlemisleading. What is said about theadvantages of feeding in mild weatherand that the most profit comes fromhog feeding when they are given allthey will consume, and all of that Isundoubtedly true. But that they willget very much benefit from pasturegrass when fed grain to the extent rec- -Offirsended it seems to me to be quitedoubtiui. 'deed, my experiencebeen that when hogb are fed about allthe grain they will eat, they will eatbut very little grass of any kind. Ofcourse they will eat some, for hogs,like all other animals, like a variety offood, but they will eat most of whatthey like best, and that is the grain.What grass they will eat when fed allthe grain they want will be beneficial;it will stimulate the aopetite and aidtheir digestion, but they won't eatenough of the grass to add much totheir weight from it.

My experience has been that to getthe most growth on hogs from grazing,they should be fed a little grain once aday, fed at night and as nearly as pos-sible at the same hour. They soon cometo look for their grain feed only at theregular time and will not hang aroundwaiting for it at any other time. I amaware that a good many hog raisersclaim that hogs will do better on grassnot to be fed any grain. (I mean whengrass is to be the main feed.) But thathas not been my experience. I thinkthey will do much better if fed a littledry corn with the grass.

I wonder how many hog growers willindorse my statement that more growthcan be made on hogs (of the right kind)on an acre of clover than can be fromone acre of corn?

Prof. Sanborn, formerly of the Agri-

cultural College of Kansas, claims tohave made 800 pounds of pork from oneacre of clover. I have never made asmuch as that, but I have made 600

pounds and that is more than the aver-age feeder will make from an acre ofcorn. I am talking now about a goodgrowth of clover and a good crop ofcorn; 50 bushels of shelled corn to theacre is a good crop, and the averagefeeder won't make over ten pounds ofpork to the bushel of corn. Possiblythere are some that would make morethan 10 pounds, but there are a goodmanv more that would make less, sothat the clover Is ahead at my figuresI have all of the years planned to havea clover field for my hogs to run inand have always thought I got goodpay, but I never have but once knownjust what I was doing

In the spring of 1885 I bought 50

shoats that averaged 100 pounds.turned them into an eight-acr- e cloverfield about the 1st of May as soon as theclover was up, so that they could get agood bite. And I want to say just herothat I think a good many make themistake of letting the clover get toolarge before they turn onto It. Turnin as soon as it gets fairly started andthen if it is a fairly growing seasonthe clover will bo likely to outgrow thehogs. I kept those hogs in that fieldof clover and sold them the 15th dayof September, and their average weightwas 225 pounds.

They were fed In addition to theclover one pound of shelled corn to thehog per day (by weight). They hadfree access to salt and wood ashes (inequal parts), mixed, kept in a troughunder a shed so it would not waste bythe rain. They had good clean waterwhen they wanted it. An automatic ar-

rangement kept their trough full, withslats across the top so that they couldnot get into it and foul it. That was allthe feed they got and as before statedthey gained 125 pounds. The 25 poundsfully paid for the corn they were fed,leaving 100 pounds to the credit of theclover. The clover was the commonmedium red. If I was going to seed afield for a hog pasture y I shouldmix the seed equal parts medium redand alsike. It will make a more dur-

able pasture and makes variety, whichthe hogs like. One thing more: Suc-

cess often comes from attention to lit-

tle things. The corn fed these hogswas not put in a trough or in a pile sothey could gobble a mouthful of it andswallow it whole, but it was scatteredso they had to pick it up slowly and soof course they would chew it much better and get a good deal more from it. I

see that I have said above that to gettho most out of clover for pork-makin- g

one must have the right kind ofhogs. I do not mean by that any par-

ticular breed, but hogs of suitable age,and by the way this is one item on thewrong side of the ledger when we cometo strike tho balance on clover-grow- n

pork. Shoats must be five or sixmonths old, before they will do theirbest on clover. And this means winter-ing them, which, as a rule, I do not con-

sider profitable. I have for a goodmany years wintered only my breedingstock. I bought the 50 in the experi-ment reported. I have made the mostmoney when I fed my hogs so that theywere ready for the market at from fiveto eight months old. S. Favill.

Should Have a Few Sheep. Everyfarm, If it Is but a dozen acres,should have Its few sheep, and a smallorchard grass pasture for them to runin. This grass is the earliest of all andwill afford a full bite a month beforetimothy Is available. As this grasshas a very loose open growth It Is wellto sow the small red clover with It.Mutton is becoming more and morepopular, and the small flock will sup-ply the farm home with the most ac-

ceptable meat, after the poultry. Thefarm meat clubs will be found very con-

venient for the disposal of mutton, forfour families can easily consume amutton carcass in the warmest part ofthe summer, and by interchange amongeach other the few members may bealways supplied with fresh meat of thefinest qnality and at the very cheapestrate. Ex.

THE ANIMAS

The Atiinias river enters tbe countyjust est of the 108th meridian. Itib formed by the junction of two im-

portant torrential streams, and willirrigate, if properly handled, 40,000acres of fruit land. Of this aunmntlO.(MM) or 12,000 acres are alreedyunder ditch, and it would not be wiseto advise large settlement on anynew lands, unless some scheme weredeviled by which whole amountof the water could be handled bysome comprehensive authority. Thisriver flews thirty miles within SanJuan county. Tbe farming landsbegin at Cox s crossing and take in astrip varying from a quarter of amile to three mile in width andabout twenty five miles in length.The Animas has a minimum flow of2000 cubic feet per spcoud. One ofthe peculiaiittei' of this and tne SanJuan river is that tbe bottoms arecomposed of beds of small, round,water-wor- n boulders jf unknowndepth. water flows iu thisboulder bed than on tbe surface.Along in the river valley properthere are about 18,000 acres of goodland, the most important area ofwhich is from Azteo to below FloraVista.

Besides tbe valley of tbe Animasthere is an important area of landincluded in the Farmington Glade,an introvale between tbe Animas andLa Plata rivers. It is a strip ofcountry two or three miles wide byeighteen miles long. It will aggre- -

AZTEC ;

The mcdern civilization has fol-

lowed tbe same lines of settlement asdid toe ancient. Aztec, is tbe countyseat, sitnatud on the houtliea-- t bankof tbe.Auimas. It has a bank, severallarge stores, hotel and livery audstage stables. The county jail is awell built, steel linod adobe structure.The surrounding country is wellcultivated, the farms extending upand down the river for several miles

falfa tields have a particularly goodappearance.

FARMINOTON.

Farmington and Junction City f aresituated at the month of the Animas.The population is about the Bame" asat Aztec. The location is very beau-tiful. At this point the full scenicbeauty of the valley reveals itselfFrom a lit le bill overlooking tbetown a soli plantation of three orfour Bquare miles, including orchards,alfalfa tieids, grain and meadow isseen. Here is at present the densestpopulation of the county and thewidest spread of cultivation. Thethree valleys here converge into themain valley of the Sau Juan. Thereare several good stores, public stables,good schools aud general facilities.Near this town are located severalbrick kilns, a saw mill ami a rollerprocess floor mill It is a very pretty,

d place. Its citizens are fullof energy and public spirit.

LARGO.

This town may be considered thecenter of population on the upperSau Juan. Taking in with it thelittle settlement on Piue river and atBloomlield, the population ip between1000 and 1200 peiHons, the majorityof whom are of Spanish descent.Tbe high culture of the fields, or-

chards and vineyards speaks well f jrthe progreBs of tbe community.

' TUE LOWER SAN JUAN.Olio, Fruitland aud Jewett are sit-

uated on tbe Sau Juan below itsjnnctiou with tbe La Plata. Tbepopulation of the three is about 600persons. The greater part of theland is under a fine modern canalaud in a high Btaie of cultivation. AtFruitland is oLe small orchard ofseven acres from which tbe annualnet return has been over $2,500 perannum for the past five vears. Thisis tbe property of the resident Mor-mon bishop and is cultivated accord-ing to the theory of his people that asmall place well cared for is morevaluable than broad acreage poorlyfarmed. It is one of the best instancesof intensive culture in tbe territory.

LA PLATA.

T lis place can hardly be oalled atown. It is a compact farming com-munity, however, of about seventywell cultivated homesteads at thehead of the La Plata valley. On thewestern side the land rises in threeterraces, one over the other, everyone or which is highly cultivated.The sight weald remind one more of

a French laudsc-ip- than a west mcommunity as yet removed fromrailroads, and ten years ago givenover to the Indians as a buntingground. Alfalfa and fruit are theprincipal productions. This paft oftbe county is a very picture in itspicturesque fertility. The Aztecsalso thought well of it, and many oftheir monuments in the shape ofrudely pictured and sculptured rocksabound.

CHOPS

Tin first trees were planted in thiscounty ten years ago, and as an ex-

periment seemed very doubtful. Thefirst settlers were principally cattlemen, who kuew little about farming.They profited by their first mistakes,however, aud prospered, so that thereputation of these valleys is knownall over tbe southwest. The southerntowns of Colarado, outside the SanLuis valley, are almost wholly sup-plied from tbe San Juan orchards.So remunerative has fruit cultureproved that iu 1891 23.000 trees wereplanted, and iu 1892 about 50.000The planting of 1893 is not yet ac-

curately known, but will show a ratioof progress. Last year at ibe Albu-querque Territorial fair the fruits ofthis county took tbe sweepstakesprize. The peaches ju some instancesmeasured nine inches in circumfer-ence, apples thirteen to fourteeninches aud weighed sixteen to nine-teen ounces. Single acres of fruitland return from $400 to $500; andin one orchard near Farmington arethree trees, of whose yield tin ac-

curate account has been kept for fouryears pasi that show an average re-

turn of $53 per tree.Cereals of nil kinds are grown here,

wheat yielding 20 to 40 bushels peracre; oats, 3') to 80 bushels; barley, 30to 60 bushels; rye, 15 to 30 bushels;cou, 25 to 50 bushels. A ready salete found at good prices. Currentprices for 1893 were as follows:Wheat, per cwt.. $1.40; oats, $1.50;barley, $1.40; corn, $1.50; bran, perton, $18 Vegetables ol every varietyflourish, from the hardier varieties,such as Irish potatoes, turnips and'beets, to the more tender melons, egg-plants, ti ies, etc.

ALFALFA

Is, however the staple crop in thiscounty; drouth is uot to bo fearedand neither frost nor cold endangerit. Owing to the advantageous situ-

ation of the county the farmers havetaken to fattening beef cattle. Forthi i purpose the sales of alfalfa arelarge, frequently amounting to from500 to 1000 tons to a single buyer.From 1891 to 1892 the increase inalfalfa production amounted 7000tous. Tbe averave yield per aero isfrom 4 to 10 tons.

MINERAL WEALTH.

ThiB whole county is underlaidwith coal. The beds havo rot been

prospected to any extent. Tbey areknown, however, to contain almostunlimited quantities of coal. On theSan Juan river, opposite Fruitland,is a truly notable exposnreof this val-

uable fuel. It stands above the river34 feet and is over 300 feet long, andextends back into the bluff on a very,light dip, it is supposed for miles, ashere is an immense mesa stretching

in mat airection. irameataieiy acrossou tbe north side of the river otherhuge beds appear, and these thenstretch up the La Plata for nearlyfifty miles. This coal is a hard, freehurting quality. An experiencedCornwall miner, who is working oneof tb9se veins on tbe La Plata, saysbe never saw mines so easily openedor that so quickly yielded good merchantable coal. All that aeems to benecessary is to strip the outer layer,which has beeu exposed to tbeweathoi forages, and the fine, glit-

tering material is found, free fromslate or "bone" and ready for use.Some difference of opinion exists asto the quality of this coal, but thebureau of immigration can state onthe authority of its agent that it isof a good coking character. Some ofit, in his presence, was covered withsand and fired on tbe ground and iua short time was roasted into a finesilver coke with a ring like metal.The coal in this county is usuBllyfound in a thick strata between slateana sandstoue of a very tine grain.

It is said that gold aud metalliciron can be found; and tbe beslbuilding stone, both sandstone andgranite, abound. The best miningcamps of Colorado and Bplendid min-

eral belts in New Mexico are contig-uous. When railroads penetratethis county the neighborhood of Oliowill afford splendid opportunities foilarge smelters.

Farming Ion. but depends on farming-to-n merchants for supplies.

Patented land with water can behad at.from $15 to $50 per acre. Be-

sides this there are thousands ofacres of government land that can behad for tbe cost of filing on it.

Among tbe many enterprises whichwould flourish in this county may bementioned a wool scouring plant andwoolen mills. Water and coal areabundant and free. The only ex-

pense will be in developing.
