CATTLE RAISING IN COLORADO

The Hon. S. nj. Briggs, of Colorado.
has prepared and published series of
tables showing the profits of stock.
raising in the parks of that State.
The north, south and middle parks
seem to be more especially adapted TO
cattle than are the plains. The grasses
are more nutritious, and retain those
qualities in winter better; while cold
weather at the altitude at which the
parks are situate seem to affect cattle
less injuriously than it does upon the
lower altitude of the plains, Cattle in
the parks have never been affected
with contagious or epidemic diseases
of any character, and the percentages
OF loss is extremely low. The expense
of herding and wintering large herd
OF cattle. say 1000, is from $1.25 to
$3.50 for each wintered One herder
in summer and two in winter are re-
quired for each 1900 cattle, and their
wages and board amount to about $500
per annum each. Two hundred tons of
hay for each 1000 head is an extrava-
CANT provision, and the cost of putting
it up should not exceed So per ton.
This makes the total cost of keeping
! 900 head of cattle less than $1,000
year. But allowing the cost of herd
ing and wintering cattle to average So
per head, the expenses for ten years
would amount to only $79.996; which,
deducted from the sales, in ten years
$4S3, 140, would leave a ret balance of
$403, 134, or more than so per cent. upon
an investment of $5,0OO-O omaha.

GETTING FASHIONABLE.

g There are hundreds of ladies in the
city of Albany, far removed from neces-
sity, who turn their skill, ingenuity and
energy to account in these esthetic
times, of whose handiWork little is
known except to themselves, but the
profit on which is a very handsome
penny" said a gentleman, whose rela-
tons with an enterprise in this city
makes a large amount of information
available to him. II have means of
informing myself regarding the extent
of this thing, and have beeQ surprised
to find it so general a practice. Ten
years ago a lady who worked with her
hands would be frowned down in soci-
ETY.. Now, many ladies cultivate some
of the fine arts for no other purpose in
the world than to replenish their purses
by the employment of leisure time.
Painting and embroidery are the most
popular forms of art work, chiefly, per-
haps, because anything in these lines,
particularly that created by The needle,
finds ready sale at good round prices.
The decoration Of menu cards and
china is also remuneratiVe occupa-
ton, yielding excellent pay for fine
work. The art rooms of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and our own city,
accept these products on commission.
/ understand that young lady living
in Albany yields one of the daintiest
brushes in applying colors to menu
cards. She diSposeS of all her work in
New York by means of the decorative
art rooms. Several ladies not only do
embroidery for sale, but two of the
deftest give lessons in the art, and get
a nice return for teaching others what
they know. 1t sounds odd, but some
yof the incest people in Albany sell
their handiwork. They do it occa-
sionally as qualification of their pride,
to convince themselves that if put to il
they could earn their own living.
These are what are called in polite cir
cles aristocratic arts. Albany Eoeaa-

FRUIT IN ENGLAND.

Some idea of the increased consump-
ton of fruit in this country, says the
London Standard, may be gathered
from comparison of the quantities
imported in 1871 and 1882, respectively.
In the former year we received 1.12S,-
568 bushels, and in the latter 1885, 91
bushels. The principal countries from
which this supply was obtained were
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Spain, Portugal, the United States and
Canada.
In 1871 France supplied more than
fourth of the total; but in 1882 the
United States sent twice as much fruit
as France, chiefly in the form of apples.
AS it is estimated that our home prod
uct is only about 100000 bushels, we
import nearly half as much as we grow
In spite of this large importation, the
value of which in 1882 was e1,71S,S07
the price of fine fruit continues very
high, the best sort for dessert purposes
being luxuries which the wealthy only
can enjoy
