in refutation OF the prevalent
opinion that Colorado Territory is a
desert, almost destitute of agricultural
resources, the Southern Colorado
Board Of Trade has issued the follow
ing statements: IN the valleys, among
the mountains, Fl PasO and COnejOs
counties, are highly fertile. In Fl
PasO county nearly $3.50 acres Of land
are under cultivation, and y 1000 more
are suitable for production. In Con-
ejOs county, which is in San Luis Park
on the Rio Grande river, 5000 acres
are under cultivation, and 100, 900 fit
for agriculture. The value of land and
improvements in these two counties
alone is estimated at g, 500, 900. In FL
Paso the cost Of irrigation is one-ffth
of the value Of the area in cultivation;
in COnejOs One-thiFd; two dollars per
cultivated acre in the former county,
and three dollars in the latter. The
average yield of small grain in FL
PasO is forty bushels per acre, and
thirty bushels of corn, giving a money
return of so per acre of small grain,
and 1872 10 Of corn. This is about
double the average return of the
United States for lands in small grain.
The reported cost OF keeping cattle
aud sheep refutes the impressions of
inhOspitable climate and sterile lands.
Three dollars per head, it IS asserted,
is the cost Of keeping cattle, and fifty
cents for keeping sheep,
If the Irish element in our body
polite serves to cQGuterbalance the
German, and the Danish, Swedish,
Italian, Spanish, Swiss, and French
elements in turn Offset each other,
why WOHld not 2,O00,0 D or 100000
Chinese be useful to eOunterbalance
the 5000, 900 negroes to whom We have
disconnected the rights of fellOW-men?
Barbarians have been imported to
this country from Africa without in
jury to the whites; why, then, should
white people hesitate about admitting
a few extra thousands of a race supe-
rior in iutelligepee and more indusrn-
Gus than many Of the European emil
grants who come here? One great eff
feet, too, Of their presence here VIII
be to crowd up the white race, as the
Chinese win infalIibiy take the places
of the heWers of Wood and drawers Of
water.
Experiments in France and HOl-
land have shown that sunfiOwers,
when planted on an extensive scale,
will neutralize the d~eleteriOus effects
of eXhalatiOns from marshes. This
plan has been tried with great success
in the fenny districts ear k~ochep6fI
France, and the authorities Of Holland
assert that Intermittent fever has en-
tirely disappeared from districts where
the sunh0wers have been planted.
Though the above facts appear to be
proved, it is not yet aseertaided what
effect the sunhower produces on the
atmosphere, whethefit generates oxy-
gen, like other plants of rapid growth,
or whether, like the cone-bearers, it
emits ozone, and destroys the animal
and vegetable germs of miasms pro-
dUcing fever. l.a
"A WOman's Convention IS to be
held ia Berlin, Erussia, on toe hftt
and sixth Of November. The desigfi
of the leaders of this movement is to
official communication on the
part of the different wOmen's sOcie-
ties already organized in behalf OF ed
ueatiOn, and industrial and domestic
tIaiHiHg. The subjects to be discussed
viii be as follows: how to form 3
regular official communication be-
tween the existing associations. How
to form industrial, science and art
schools. How to form cooperative
associations for wOmen's labor, with
credit Institutions, giving the same
advantages to women as have been
given to men by their large and now
international wOrkingmen's assoeia-
Mrs. Stanton, in last weeks Rer-
Ofidion, urges that il is as much for
tine good OF young men as of ypuns
women that she desires both sexes to
college and to listen to medical
and anatomical lectures together. OF
the last she SAYS: ssMany young
are as pure, delicate and refined
in their tastes and feelings as their
and to them the ~indeceney and
lrreverence Of some Professors and
students in their clinics is as distress
as to any woman. Such men
find a protection in a class of
girls that would be most desirable in
them from the grOssness of
their own sex.n There is truth in
his.
The committee appointed at the
Pathological Convention to consider
this sibject, without waiting for a year
10 elapse, have made a short report
recommending the adoption of the

The comn1ittee is opinion that accents
