The Vasqulstas j'otM! element took possession of Juarez Tuesday after firing a single volley. Tho rebels made the aHsault at 10 o'clock sharp, entering the outskirts of the city from the northwest and firing as they entered, using rifles and one ennnon. The few hundred men in Juarez as defenders fired a few shots from various points of vantage and were then ordered by their officers to cease. Only one man was woundod, and he was shot accidentally. Mexican Consul E. C. Llorente of El Paso afterwards declared that the officers decided not to make resistance, In order to avoid complications with the United States. Following the seizure of the town, the Vasqulstas set about the task of establishing a uew municipal government and of maintaining perfect order. .

"I will accept the nomination for president if It Is tendered me and will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed Its Theodore la Colonel preference," Roosevelt's reply to the letter of seven Republican governors asking him to stand for a nomination. The eagerly awaited reply was given out Sunday night at Colonel Roosevelt's offices during his absence on a trip to Boston. It was unexpectedly brief, but definite. It follows: "New York, Feb. 24, 1912. Gentlemen: I deeply appreciate your letter and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand as the heads of government In their several states. "I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one" to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or Interests of any maa, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole. I will accept the nomination for president If It Is tendered to mo and I will adhere to this decision until the con- - tures. I bave had considerable experience with soiling crops, and have become entirely converted to the fact that there la a place In our western agriculture for this system of husbandry. By "soiling" we mean growing a constant succession of crops, cutting them and feeding to the animals in an lnclosure. The advantages claimed for this system over pasturage are numerous. It Is claimed that It saves land; 2nd, eaves fences; results in bettor 3rd, saves food; om putt uopipuoa eqj jo; vomo farm animals; B'.n, a greater production of "beef, milk, wool or mutton; 6th, Increaesd quality and quantity of barnyard manure. Tbe disadvantages are, that it requires Increased labor. On our small Irrigated farms, however, there Is no question but that the Increased profit more than compensates for tbe extra labor. Jff. H. Stewart, who bas had many years of experience in soiling says that SI. 00 spent in extra labor by this system. Is replaced ten times over In the saving of land, saving of feed and saving of manure. There is no reason why the farmer should object to tbe extra labor when there is found to be a profit In It It is rarely that a man accumulates wealth from tbe labor ot his own hands. Some of our Western farmers have to?tried this system and bave found that tbe soiling system gives even better results here than in the Eastern section. This Is due to tbe fact that In the East lack of moisture may at critical times seriously retard tne growth of plants, while here under Irrigation moisture can be applied at any time desired. Some years ago I made an experiment with the soiling system In Salt Lake county. Jt may seem somewhat surprising to say that the product of two aores ot ground proved sufficient ar i to maintain 12 dairy cows from the f 15th of May until the 6th of October.

It will be seen that some of the land produced as much as Iwo, and even three crops. Plat A. for Instance, sown to fall rye on Sept. 10th, had the crop entirely removed by June 1. This plat was Immediately manured. Irrigated, plowed and seeded to peas and barley. Plat H. produced three crops of alfalfa. Plat C, seeded to peas and outs on April 1, bad the crop removed by June 25, and on June 2. after having ben manured and Irrigated, was again seeded to peas and barley. These crops were cut every other morning and a rark !a the corral filled, there being wuf- Jack Up 1o Date. flcient feed to last for two days. Dry airalfa was also always left In the manger under the shed, and the cows ate during the season between two and three tons of hay. we have in mis We believe-th- at system solved the problem of the small farm. It has been arguea in the paBt that for successful dairy nractice. a large acreage was neces sary. We believe that we have dem onstrated with this experiment mai this Is not essential. There can be no possible objection to uBing the same land over and ovei cars again during the same season if be taken to replenish the eiemenis which are taken out by the crops. These cows are kept In close conIs carefully finement, the manure conserved and returned to the soil. We do not claim for this system that It la a new practice. Repeated experiments bave been made in other states, notably Wisconsin, on this subject, and with excellent results. We wish also to refer you to tne Channel Islands, Guernsey and Jersey. The Island of Jersey Is 27 miles long and four to seven miles wide. It fcs a population of 55,000 and has forty to fifty thousand visitors annually. The average size of the farm is eight acres, and there are nor 10,- On this amount 000 acres farmed. of farming land they are keeping ap-- . proximately 12,500 head of Jarseye, and 2,500 head of horBes. This makes approximately lfc.000 head of live stock supported from 10,000 acres ot land, or 1V4 head to eevry acre of farm. All the cattle are soiled the year round, except the cows for milk which are tethered. These Jersey farmers are the most scientific farm ers In the world; they make enor mous profits from their land and I believe this is due largely to the soiling system. In speaking In somewhat specific terms regarding these soiling crops. I desire to make a plea particularly for a few of them: Rye is less sensitive to cold than wheat and its vegetation Is more rapid. It makes a vigorous growth early In the spring and by May 15 on an average farm In the West, cutting can be under way. I would recommend that the seeding be rather heavy, at least 1V4 to 1 bushels per acre. Alfalfa, of course, Is the king of all forage crops. There Is no question as to its soils. to our adaptability It is almost a perfectly balanced food In Itself, and la an Ideal crop in the soiling system. I have found, however, that when It comes to a question of the very best soiling rathe greatest tions for producing amount of milk, there Is no forage and oats crop that excels peas sown together. Sow as early in the eprlng as tbe ground will permit, and begin cutting just as soon as the oats begin to head out and the peas have well grown pods. I have bad aucces-fu-l experience in seeding these at the rate of 1U bushels to the acre each, drilling the oats one way and cross drilling with tbe peas. The peas should be put In deeper than the oats. There are some farmers In Salt Lake county who feel that peas and oats are more profitable as a forage crop than alfalfa, and since experimenting with this crop bave decided that the alfalfa weevil bas no terrors for them. It will be observed that when seed ing peaa and oats the second seeding Is made ten days after the first, simply so that we may ba-v-e the crop In right condition for feeding. If allow ed to stand too long the crop Is not Corn, of course, should palatable. be sowed thick. The most convenient way of planting Is with the grain drill so arranged as to drop a kcroal every four to six Inches and In rows about 18 Inches apart. Larley is planted with peas In a later seeding, not because barley Is any better than oats, but simply because it thrives so much better In the dry, hot part of the season than does oats. There are a great many other crops that are used for soiling purposes In other sections of the country, such as winter vetch, cow peas, soja beans, etc., but these crops do not seem to thrive well under the clinutic conditions prevailing here. t di not mean to Infer that dairy cattle are the only animals that can be successfully put under the soiling srt'fn. It Is just as feaMlilo to soil behores or sheep as It Is cattle, lieve, too, that this system works aa well on cheap land as on high priced lanris. The system Is an excellent application of the Idea of "a small well tilled, etc." It Is my firm conviction that nowhere In the world will a soiling system work to better advantage than right here in tbe Irrigated valleys of the West.
