REMEDY FOR KICKING Consolidating
had, several years ago, some experience
with kicking cows, and having tried many
methods to manage them, found none
so good and simple as the one will en-
deavor to describe: Put the COW into a
STALL if the stalls are not partitioned
make rail partition Zone rail may answer
if put ut the right height on the left of
the COW let her stand close to this parti-
ton, and with front feet as close to the
manger as possible; then take rail or
strong scantling and lay it diagonally
from the manger to the rail partition; cut
a notch in the manger to drop this rail in !;
press it tight against the right hind leg
just above the udder; and nail where it
crosses the partition an upright piece to
prevent this rail from slipping back.
Once fixed in this way the rail can be
slipped in or out very quickly, and if
made right the COW can neither step side
ways, forward, nor backward, and cOnse-
quently cannot lift her hind legs up. and
kick, and in most cases will, in course of
time, if gently treated, entirely forget the
kicking, so she may be MIXED without
the bar; and when the mixer comes, will
put herself in position to be MIXED by
stepping close to the left side of her stall
and place the right hind leg little back,
and she will stand always the same way.

Farming in Colorado.

The first farming done in the Rocky
Mountain country, except by MeXicans
south of the Arkansas, was in 1860, when
it was accidentally discovered by some
played-out and discouraged miners on
Cherry Creek that few blades of wheat
were growing nicely under the caves of
their cabin. The following year some
experiments were made with success,
and up to 1870 those who gave their at
tention to farming did about as well as
the miners, and quite large number of
frugal husbandmen got decidedly rich
from the high prices obtained for vege-
tables and grain. The year 1870 wit
messed the coming of the colonies, and
for two or three years following agri-
culture was the chief topic, and prom
ised to be the chief pursuit, in Colorado
Mining interests were depressed. The
livestock business was in its infancy,
and not looked upon as remarkably
profitable. Irrigation was all the talk
and to the minds of the hundreds and
thousands of theoretical farmers focking
in with the Greeley, Chicago Colorado,
Fort Collins, Fountain, Southwestern
and other colonies it was very simple
solution of the whole matter; and to their
minds eye the Arcadia had been found

canals, bitches, growing crops and
big profits on every hand.
Five or six years of rather uphill work
has served to weed out the theorists, and
brought the practical farmer to the front.
But, meanwhile, the actual results in the
way of crops have not been satisfactory.
Large numbers have pulled up" and
moved away, cursing the country. 1t
may be from this fact, and from the
present prominence of mining and stock
raising, that the impression has got out
that farming in Colorado does not pay.
1t is true that very few of those who
have settled in Colorado during the past
three or four years have undertaken to
farm it. If this was their pursuit before
they moved out here they have taken to
something else, stock-raising or mining,
perhaps. 1t is also true that the colonies
which were started at Greeley, Evans,
Longmont and ColfaX in 1870 and 1871,
formed for the very purpose of going
INTO farming and gardening, have not
multiplied and increased" as was ex-
pected. None of them have gained &C
cessions since 1878, and some show
considerable falling off. More of the
original settlers at each of these places
have taken to something else than have
gone to farming. Some of the od-time
ranchmen or farmers have pulled up
stakes, and either gone back East or
HE'D themselves to that new "promised
land"-Oregon or Washington Territory.
However, while all this is true, and
while the area Of farmed land in Colo
RADIO is not much greater now than it was
five years ago, Notwithstanding the pop
ulation has nearly quadrupled, neverthe-
less it is far from true that farming in
Colorado does not pay. On the contrary,
those of the old settlers who have stuck
to it have done well; and the most of the
new settlers have made good showing.
All this in spite of the discouraging fact
that for three years back the grass
hoppers have on the average gathered
half the crops, and in many cases eaten
the ranchmen out of house and home.
We should sum up the whole matter
by saying that wheat, barley, oats, all
vegetables and some of the smaller
fruits are protitably raised in Colorado.
1t does not cost the farmer much more to
live in Colorado than in the Eastern
States, and he gets much better price
for what he raises. There is very little
barter; what he sells generally brings the
cash down. 1t does not cost much to
get start. Farm lands under bitches
near the towns can be bought at ten
to fifteen dollars per acre.-Cor. ChicagO

all, may be taken rs sufficiently anthem

everyone who considers economy in the
provision of wardrobe, it will be a mat

a disposition to reduce the amount of
material required for a costume is fully
as prevalent as it has been at any time
since the preference for closely. draped
garments became apparent. Variety and

STOP THAT COUGH.

The way TO cure cough is to stop It,
The lungs and throat can never heal as long
as they are irritated by Il constant cough.
DR.. Fcnner's Improved Cough Honey will
relieve any cough in one hour or less. IT
will break up a cold in the head before any
cough has formed, in two to three hours.
Prevention is better than cure! In chronic
coughs the system must be placed under the
healing influences of DR.. Fenner's Blood and
Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic also. This
places the system in a healing condition, and
under the two remedies the lungs and throat
rapidly heal.

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The Eastern war.-The week has been marked
By one or Two events Of real significance in the pro-
gress Of the war; A Turkish war vessel of the
largest size was almost instantly sunk IN the Dan
ube of lorail by Russian battery at four o'clock
on Friday afternoon. 1t is telegraphed that she
was commanded by Hassan Bay, and that only one
of her crew Of 300 men was saved.
The Russian army is evidently being rapidly in
creased Just north of the Danube, spd OF late the
weather has been improving, though very hot
The Times dispatch from Bucharest says that the
heavy movement of Russian troops to the westward
Of Braila indicates the purpose Of occupying great
part or the whole Of the Roumanisn bank of the
Danube. This will prove perplexing to the Turks,
as they cannot oppose an equal force at all points,
and they must leave some places vulnerable to the
sudden concentration of Russians There is nothing
in the Russian movements so far to indicate the
points where they will attempt the passage of the
Danube. Probably one crossing will be made be
tween Braila and Ismall but other points up the
river are entirely coDjeetural The Turks on then
part endeavored en- Saturday night to effect land
ing at Oltenitza. The attempt was frustrated BY
the gallant resistance of the Roumanians, who are
apparently pro-Russian to a man.
The Asiatie campaign has been marked by q
smart engagement. 1t occurred on Friday last near
BatOum.-M 7. Evangelist.
