that what he is paying for
advertising is properly
expended by him.
President McKinley baa endear-
ed himself to the whole south by his
generous expressions and cordial sin-
cerity while on his recent trip through
that section. It is a great deal to be
the first president to express to the
south the fellow feeling that has been
renewed this year as never before and
whose resurrection will make this year
memorable in history more on this ac-
count perhaps than on account of the
achievement of our arms.
It Is probable that no other city
goes as far for its Christmas trees as
we do. We had them from the Sacra-
mentos the Sierra Madre and even
from east Texas and Louisiana a
thousand miles away. The ancient
Druids would have had a hard job
with their Christmas trees if they had
lived in El Paso. They would have
had to start by the Fourth of July to
haul their trees. But come to think
of it they didn't have any Fourth of
July.
IN New York many of the most
fashionable churches had to get along
yesterday with a very Inferior musical
service owing to the unprecedented
prevalence of grip among choir sing-
ers. It was a North Dakota politician
who evinced his intimate acquaintance
with human nature by expressing the
sentiment that the "most hone9t man
in the world is the one who will stay
bought." ;

Special Correspondence of the Herald.
Demino N. M. Dec. 22 1898.
I left El Paso on the morning of the
20th over the Santa Fe chat old re-
liable route headed for Rincon. I ar-
rived in that little village about the
noon hour and the numerous passen-
gers all rushed into Fred Harvey's din-
ing and lunch rooms where they were
served with as fine a dinner or lunch as
one could wish for. This is one of the
best eating houses on the whole sys-
tem and is under the able management
of Major Jenkins a very clever gentle-
man who looks closely after his many
guests to see that they are receiving
every attention.
After dinner I wandered around
tbe village to see what it was composed
of and found that it is exclusively a
railroad town. Two branches of the
Santa Fe leave this point one going
to Lake Valley the other to silver
City. This junction of roads necessi-
tates a number of employees at this
point and they live in nice neat com-
fortable cottages furnished them by
the company.
-After spending a good comfortable
night at the Harvey house I took the
Silver City branch and was soon on my
way to Deming. The road passes
through some fine country enroute. A
herd of antelope was sighted at short
distance from the track and they did
not seem to be much alarmed at the
passing of the train. In some locali-
ties passed through there is good
shooting quail and other small game
being very plentiful.
At 9:45 I arrived at Deming and got
off at the Union depot a fine large and
commodious building which is jointly
occupied by the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe. Here the traveller can find
good hotel accomodations. The town
has a population of Jabout fifteen hundred-people
and isquite a railroad' town.
The people are wide awake and ener-
getic. There are several large stones
here and all of them are enjoying a
good trade. The stocks are neatly ar-
ranged and the windows look citified.
The Harvey house and the Commercial
are the two principal hotels in the
city. Mr. John Grass is proprietor of
the Commercial. Besides these are
boarding and rooming houses so visitors
to the little city can always find
good accomodations. A branch
custom house Is located here and
is presided over by Col. Hudson who is
a very pleasant gentleman to do busi-
ness with. They have a fine school
building which is occupied by the
highschool. Deming has the reputa-
tion of being a great educational point
and judging from what I have seen it
deserves to have many good things
said of it. The people are pleasant
and take pains to show strangers every
oourtesy possible. M.

According to recent press dispatch-
es Messrs. Vail & Gates are in about
$10000 through the failure of the
plunger Gillett to take 4000 head of
their Panhandle cattle on which he
had paid $10000 forfeit money. Range

With only about 36000000 sheep In
this country and the annual consump-
tion of wool such that it would require
110000000 sheep to produce it there is
little danger of the wool industry be-
ing overdone in this country in the
near future. Devil's River News.
J. D. Tracy one of the largest goat-
men of Laguna talis us that the nrics
of mohair is improving. He recently
sold his spring clip of about 3500
pounds at 23c and knows of another
goatman who was more fortunate in
getting 26o. "Mr. Landrum thinks
the price will still keep improving"
said Mr. Tracy. Uvalde Leader.
Thomas Warren of Texas and G. L.
Hever of Oklahoma both wealthy cat-
tle buyers have arrived at Pueblo
Mex. from a tour of the cattle raising
districts of the Mexican state. They
report that they have purchased 5000
head of beef cattle which will be ship-
ped from that city to Cuba and Porto
Rico within the next two months.

J. B. Hooker of Salt river drove 500
bead of mixed cattle to Temple and
put them on pasture for a month and
then shipped them to northern Kan-
sas. Mr. Hooker says it takes at least
a year's pasturage -to acclimate cattle
in Kansas and that it is unprofitable
to pasture there unless you are pre-
pared to keep them a year. Snow
commenced falling on the 13th of Oc-
tober aod continued three days.

Truxton Davidson Alice "Tex.
bought 1500 graded stock cattle from
Phil Welder of Bee county at $15
around. Sold 270 cows and calves to
A. E. Burlesan of Bell county at $26.-
50. They were delivered at Beeville.
Mr. Davidson is full feeding about 500
cattle at the Swearingen stock
farm near Cuero and "rough-
ing" through at same place about 500
cows and calves. Tbe corn will be
crushed at the pens and will chop the
sorghum. For full feed will mix chop-
ped sorghum crushed corn and 'cotton
meal. Mr. Davidson says an aavantage
of this feed is that he can feed longer
than the usual time with meal and
hulls without harm to the cattle.

Tbe county figures just issued show-
ing the number of sheep kept in Great
Britain this year point to a slight but
welcome increase of prosperity for our
flockmasters. In England there has
been an average increase of 10 head
for every 100 sheep; in Scotland; an
increase of 22 and in Wales of 23.
The average number of sheep
to every 1000 cultivated acres
in Great Britain is 464 the total stock
being nearly 27000000. The best
stocked county is Kent with 957 head
to each 1000 acres; tbe worst leaving
out the county of London is Cheshire
with 145. London Is included in the
returns as a sheep county although it
is far and away at the bottom of the
list with an aggregate stock of only
5437 out of tbe 27000000 kept in Great
Britain. Exchange.
Prof. Thomas Shaw of the Minnesota
University experiment station gives
the following conclusions as the results
of a competitive test in feeding weth-
ers and lambs under exactly similar
conditions:
1. That when wethers and lambs
are bought at tbe same price per pound
and are fattened under similar condi-
tions tbe lambs are likely to bring
considerably more profit.
2. This increased profit is likely to
arise first from tbe greater relative
advance at which the lambs will prob-
ably be sold and second from the
greater relative gains which the lambs
are likely to make on a given amount
of food.
3. This profit may be expected to in-
crease with the decrease in the differ-
ence between the weight of the
wethers and the lambs respectively
at the time of purchase because of the
influence which weight at the begin-
ning of an experiment .exercises upon
anyadvance made in mutton values.
