Especial Correspondence,
Letter From Colorado.
CANON CRY, COL, Oct, 4, 1877


Nearly every one who visits this part
of Colorado for the first time, even II
partially informed about it beforehand,
is grievously disappointed at the arid
aspect of the plains, and finds it hard
to believe that the application of that
benefcent agent, water, can make ev-
cry inch of those barren-looking table
lands literally "blossom like the rose.'
One can hardly imagine more dreary-
looking country than that lying about
here. If we except the spots here and
there that have been developed by irri-
CATION, there is nothing to be seen but
sand, dry buffalo-grass, sage brush'
and prairie dogs. But it is wonderful
what a transformation irrigation pro-
duces in this comparatively rainless
area-upon this "barren and dry land
where no water is" of the Psalmist. A
stream of water here is worth more
than dozen silver mines. They say
irrigation is simply scientific farming.
The tiller of the soil here is chemist
whose laboratory is certain area OF
land; everything but the water is at
hand-the bright sun, the potash, and
other mineral ingredients, not washed
out of the soil by centuries of rain
The climate secures him always from
an excess of moisture, and what nature
fails to yield, greater or less, according
to the season, he supplies from his irri-
eating canal, and with it he introduces,
without labor, the most valuable fertil-
izing ingredients, with which the water
in its course through the mountains has
become charged. After what l have
seen of its results / am thoroughly sat-
isfied of the beauties of irrigation, and
if those whole plains could be subjected
to the process what an Eden this would
be. But there is where the trouble
comes in. 1t is just as difficult to irri-
gate without the necessary conditions
of situation as to water, etc., as II
would be to invoke rain from the
clouds. Hence these barren plains IN
this year A. D. 1882.

about Canon City and Colorado Springs

the rest Of us, and, as related in my
last letter, there is enough in it here
abouts to make it interesting. This is
no less true Of sheep raising than of
cattle herding. 1t may be here stated
that between the flock and the herd
there is an irrepressible conflict. Bitter
feuds have sprung up between the cat
tic and sheep men Of this vicinity in
consequence of which whole Aocks Of
sheep have been poisoned in night,
und some years ago several bloody en-
counters occurred. The difficulty Is
the sheep and cattle will not Craze on
the same ground. The rowing steers
stampede the sheep so that they often
get lost, and the cattle stand and tram
pie so long in the water that the dainty
sheep will not drink. On the other
hand, cattle do not like sheep, and re-
fuse to herd where they have been, for
one reason that they gnaw the grass so
close there is nothing left. 1t is
clear case of "incompatibility of tenn
perament," and separation has gen.
erally to be effected.
Of the profits Of sheep raising as
carried on in this region, and the meth.
dds and life of the herder, shall not
have space to tell you in this letter.

WHAT "DEAp DRUNK" MEANS.
"Deud drunk" is described by savants
of the Paris Biological society to be a
condition in which there is propor-
ton of one part of alcohol to l95 parts
of blood in the circulation. Should
the proportion ever come to be one part
of alcohol to 100 of blood, death would
ensue. This might happen, and, in
fact, has happened repeatedly where
very large quantity Of alcoholic liquor
is swallowed at one time and quickly.
In ordinary drinking consciousness is
lost, and with it the power to- drink
more before the proportion of alcohol
in the circulation becomes fatal.
