It is probable that President Cleve-
land has never crossed the threshold
of more than two Washington homes
outside the Cabinet circle. In other
words, he has not seen the interior
of 10 residences in Washington. He
has never seen Congress at work,
and l am assured that in four years
he has not once entered department
building. The Treasury. State, Navy,
War, and Attorney-General Depart
ments are all within stones throw
of the White House, bnt Mr.. Cleve-
land never opened their door. Mr..
Cleveland meyer walked upon Penn
sylvania avenue as Grant was in the
habit of doing, and surely he never
took drink across Washington
bar as Buchanan did more than once.
He rarely goes to theatre, not car
ing much for the plays. Probably
there has now and then been an en-
tire week he has not once put on his
hat and gone out of doors. All he
knows about Washington and its
ways he has heard.-Boston Globe

The stock in the San Luis valley
generally is looking well for this
time of year and will pull through
the winter in very good shape. There
are a few cattle on the range belong
ing to the Cleveland & Colorado
cattle company that are looking e1.
ceedingly thin and their chances of
pulling through the winter are crit
ical. These cattle were moved about
too much during the fall and brought
in the valley when the grass was
short, hence the loss will be great

There is no question but that the
amount of money sent out of this
state annually to pay for eastern pro-
ducts could and should be kept at
home by proper management: on the
part of the producers of the state.
Poultry of all kinds do well here, es-
pecially when Matched here. Vege-
tables of a superior quality can be
grown in sufficient quantities to sup
ply the state, and have large sur
plus for export. With the state
stocked with ponltry there would be
no necessity for the importation of
eggs, and with the establishment of
canning factories, the vegetable pro-
daets would receive decided sIlmu-
lus. The leak made by the importa-
ton of butter, eggs and poultry
amounts to sum total that is posi-
tiyely startling. And yet these are
but three articles which we import.
The amount annually paid out by
the people Of this state for produce
that coula be raised here will run In
to the millions. Do the producera
evor think of this matter, or are they
content to let thirgs run along in

Audubon tells that pigeons power OF

Pigeons, for example, have been killed
In the neighborhOod of New York with
their craws filled with rice, collected

travelled between three hundred and
four hundred miles in six hours, max
ing their speed at an average about
one mile minute.
Susan Fenimore Cooper, in writing
upon this, pleasantly says: "Itis sup

said, is seconded by as great power
