grain, all perfectly and thoroughly ma
tured The first was Of Red Rust Pro f
Oats, which was we'll ripened and ready
to harvest The next was the white

less forward than the first. but Is SO far
matured as To make its maturity certain
The third specimen is one OF both
bearded and beardleSs wheat, botn of
which has headed out finely, and the
beardless variety Is ready tor the har-
vest, while the other is not yet entirely
ripe. All these specimens OF grain
show plainly what can BIZ done III our
climate, and that there is no reason why
we should not have at home not only
oats and barley for food for stock, but
also q good supply of wheat, to market
before that from any other part Of the
country is matured. The specimens of
wheat from "Dunbarton' Is as fine as
can be raised IN any country, and Mr..

plantation assures Us that it was grown
on land which has been in cultivation
for about three quarters of a century.

versatile hive. Bees can be removed
without ever coming out Of the hive
what mean by that, is, after they are in
one section, two or three years, we just
set the other Que below, and the one full
above. and they go down there and To-
cate, and then we can take the full one
off and empty it. Use that one then
for surplus honey. But my object in

year, about forty bee stands, and my
way for transferring is: | first fumigate

AYERS PILLs have been known for
more than a quarter Of a century. and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimiatiye organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eYade them, Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best of
human skill While they produce power

safest and best physic for children By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Ii Y I STOCK.
THE COLOR OF CATTLE.

EDITOR HUsBANDMAN:
Noticed a few weeks since an article in
your paper in which you made mention of a
bull, saying he was we'll formed and unob-
jectionable in every way except in color,
which was a light roam. In this you will
find some readers who differ with you in
opinion. For my part | cannot see why
there should be any preference given to col
or. The most beautiful bulls have seen in
Montana were of a light gray color, and
their offspring appears to be as large, well
formed, thrifty, and in all appearance, make
as fine beeves as other cattle. In fact l am
inclined to the belief that to breed a red cow
to a white or light roam bull is advantageous.
The blending of colors seems to have the
same affect as the mixing of families, I. e.,
to improve them in thriftness. In horses.
the roam or gray is the most preferable.
The French horse or Percheron-Norman,
which is of this color, is the hardest and
best formed for strength, and is a superior
animal of his race. The food upon which
the horse and OK live is the same, and their
lives are the same. Why, then, should the
gray horse be acknowledged as a superior
animal, and the bovine whose color is the
same be denounced? Surely there is no just
cause for doing this. Because a few preju-
diced breeders favor and give red bulls the
preference, is no reason why the light roam
should be discarded. HERDsMAN.

In our next we shall be able to give fur

business of stock-raising in Colorado. Ihls
loss is not great, taken as a total, but falls
with severity on a few. 1t is the only
drawback of our country, that offers advan-
tages exceeded by no other country, and
eoualed by few.-Colorado Farmer.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-04-11
LOSS OF STOCK.

The late storm that swept over Colorado
was the most severe of any recorded since
the earliest settlement of people within the
territory, and was more destructive to the
stock interest, by far, than any previous
storm, although old hunters anG army Of
ticers are reported as having said that they
have witnessed storms here that it was only
by a miracle that any living thing was left
in Its wake, and there are evidences of DRIFT
wood on the banks OF the streams that show
conclusively that at some time in the past,
floods have swept down our valleys, exceed
ing in volume and destruction anything
that any of the Oldest settlers have ever
seen.
In 1853, on the Goth to 9th Of March, a
storm nearly similar to this last one swept
over the territory. But little stock compar-
atively was then kept in the state, but the
loss was severe. Quite a number of lives
were lost on the Divide. The snow tell for
thirty-six hours, and reached the depth of
three feet on the level. But those witnessed
both storms, say that this one far exceeded
that II in fury, though SO much snow fell.
TO give a stranger a faint idea of the late
storm, we will relate briefly the experience
OF MIR. Wakeman. His Windmill stands
within Is feet of his house, and his corrals
are sixty yards from the mill, his sheds are
quite extensive, capable of holding 10000
sheep with comfort. All of his improve
ments are built on the southeastern slope of
the banks OF the Kiowa, the hills breaking
the force of Il Northwest storm. After day
light Mr.. w. and men thought it possible
that they might find the %corrals, although
they could not see the Windmill from the
house so thick was the falling snow and
sleet. Taking every p%recaution that old
plainsmen knew were necessary for their
safety they started for the %corrals, and after
Il fearful struggle against or rather with the
terrific storm they struck Il wire fence forty
rods from where they wished to go, and we
have no doubt to that fence alone they owe
their lives, for if they had missed this fence
they would have been driven out on the
range. BY the aid of the fence they reach
ed the corrals and safety. Other instances
are told of dug-cuts being buried under tif-
teen feet drifts and the inmates being res
cued more dead than alive, of sheep being
buried ten feet under the snow and being
dug out eight days afterwards alive, of
horses housed in ordinary stables being dug
out with pick and shovel, packed in as il
some persons had pounded snow and sand
around them. But it is useless to attempt
to describe the terrors of the storm and it is
a happy thing for us that such come only
once in a decade.
In giving losses, we have only given those
we know of positively, without any guess
work, and shall give them by localities, or
along the water courses.
