THE BIG HUNT.
Twelve Hundred Rabbits sagged

Twelve Hundred Rabbits Bagged!
The big hunt was an unqualified
success. Aside from many bruised
shoulders there was no casualties to
hunters. The slaughter of rabbits
was terrific Eleven hundred and
ninety four were brought in besides
hawks, prairie dogs, etc. In addi-
tion to day of splendid sport, great
service has been rendered the county
by the destruction of so many pests.
The list of game with the counts
of each is as follows: wild cats 100
points, grey wolves %, coyotes 20,
geese 20, dncks 10, hawks 10, jack
rabbits 10, cotton tails 10, and
prairie dogs 10. The grand total of
points was 12,055; the winning
Ford side having 6,3S0, and the
losing (Hoover) 5,675.
The best individual score was
that of Phillip Sarah, OF Prowers, VI
rabbits and hawk. Among the
highest scores brought in were those
of Charles Maxwell, Elem Hoover,
Ed Leatherman, A. Van Deusen, A.
j. Peed, Dave Downer and j. B.
Woods.
An excellent supper was served
the hunters at the Commercial hotel.
One of the conditions of the hunt
was that the game belonged to the
losing side. The rabbits are being
dressed, and will be shipped to
Denver or Pueblo, if it can be done
with profit. OF the rabbits $50 were
Jacks aud 304 cotton tails. Another
hunt is already being talked up, and
will likely occur in the near future.

The old soldiers of Kit Carson
post, assisted by some members of
Chivington camp Sons of Veterans,
on Wednesday evening gave reals,
tic exhibition of the manner in which
they fought during the late war. The
thrilling drama was the production
of the pen of one of their members,
Capt. VIM. Cummings, and the plot
was one of his daring exploits, when
he was known as the famous scout
and spy, Bill Drake, name that
once struck terror to the hearts of all
southeners. The various parts were
filed either by men who had smelled
powder on many bloody battle field
and We're at home in desperate situa-
tions which the shifting fortunes of
the play often placed them, or by
sons who have inherited the daring
spirit Of fathers that saved our coun-
try. 1t was exciting and interesting
from start to finish. The music by
Heaton's orchestra was first class.
The receipts were very satisfactory.
We have not yet learned whether our
citizens are to be treated to another
production of this play, bct hope they
are. Drake is now household word
in Lamar, and most of our citizens
will be glad to hear more of his
exploits.
"Wednesday morning as Treasurer
Pike was just finishing some knotty
mathematical problems, which often
perplex county treasurers, he was
rudely awakened by being proded by
a bayonet. He jumped up only to
discover that he was at the mercy of
seven desperate masked bandits,
armed with muskets and sabers. He
thought of those heroes called James
and Dalton brothers, and trembling
in every limb, stammered out: For
rr-r-r Gods sake, gen
t-l-e-m-e-n, VIII at d-o-o-o-o y-o- u
w-a-n-tsr "Set 'em up" came in
deep sepulchral tones from the leader.
Somewhat reassured he tore off the
masks, and discovered that the bold
robbers all had offices in the court
house. He hasn't got through set
ting 'em up yet.
J. L. Mayfield and j. S. BromfielG
of Granada, were in Lamar this week.
They composed the firm of Maytield
! & Co.. which was burned out on New
Years day Owing to heavy losses
sustained by the fire they were forced
to make an assignment for the bene-
fit of their creditors. w. II. Hale, OF
Granada, is made assignee. The
accounts and insurance placed IN ms
hands will meet their obligations. 1t
is hoped by their many friends and
customers that the firm will be able
to start again.
Capt. Billow on Wednesday was
elected sergeant at arms of the lower
house. There were several candi-
dates before the caucus Tuesday ev-
ening, but Billow had the lead from
the first, and was finally the unani-
nous choice of the republicans. The
position is one to which he is well
suited He is naturally much pleased
with his success, and SO are his many
friends here.

GROWING BUSH FRUITS.

Professor s. B. Atwood, of the Vir-
ginia Station, says in bulletin IL: The
ordinary method of growing bush fruits
in the farmers garden, along the fence
rows or in situations where culture is
quite impossible, is doubtless the worst
sort of system ever devised, and the
common prevalence of this no system
is probably largely responsible for the
lack of interest in the culture of these
very wholesome and valuable fruits.
They have from custom generally
been relegated to the fence row and out
of the way situations until most farm
ers have come to look upon them as un-
worthy of better treatment the fact
that they have grown and borne fruit,
after fashion, even in these untoward
situations, has encouraged, more or less,
this slovenly method of treatment.
Ii farmers and every person who
owns small aren of available ground
can once be brought to realization of
the food value and healthfulness of
these ffuitB and the ease and certainty

BEST FOOD FOR MICH COWS.

The food of COW has very little in
fuence upon the butter globules in the
milk, these being individual or breed
characteristics. You can readily in
crease or decrease the quantity of milk
given by COW, or even flavor it with
turnips or onions mixed with the food,
but the butter globules in it will re-
main about the same, whether the
quantity given is much or little. The
Jersey COW is noted for giving very rich
milk, but not SO large q quantity as
some other breeds Well-cured clover
hay is the best fodder for mich cows
in winter, and good corn fodder comes
next; after these hay of various grades.
But dry fodder is not sufficient to keep
up good flow of milk, and ration OF
bran, corn and cottonseed meal should
be added. If only wheat bran and
cottonseed meal is given, then an ordi-
nary sized COW should have ten pounds
of bran and two pounds of the cotton
seed meal as a daily ration, but a
better one would be five of corn meal,
five of bran and two of the cottonseed
meal. These may be divided into three
rations and given morning, noon and
night, with all the good hay or other
kind of fodder the COW will eat. Hay
and oats ought not to decrease the
flow of milk unless they are musty and
otherwise poor in quality. New York

BEST FARM FENCE.

In our section of country the Usage
orange hedge, which seemed to promise
durability as well as protection, has
been tried, writes Southwestern Ohio
farmer. Experience, however, de-
veloped so many objections that it is
now rarely planted as farm fence.
Many are using wire fences, which
have their advantages and defects, also
board fences and post and rail fences
are used. / have had long end varied
experience in fences, and have come to
the conclusion that where fence is to
remain along public road or for q
permanent division between fields that
preference should be given to the ordi-
nary board fence ON account of its
durability and comparative cheapness.
Were it not for the early rotting of the
posts when made of timber other than
locust there would be no question as
to the wisdom of this preference.
/ have made board fence twenty
five years ago in which the sawed posts
were of seasoned oak. Many of these
posts are still in use, and the fence is
mainly supported by stakes driven
down and nailed to the posts above
ground. With locust posts I consider
board fence, as a whole, good for
twenty-five years, while the boards
will serve many years longer by sub
stituting few new posts. New York

with which they can be grown, doubt

with which they can be grown, doubt
less the methods of culture complained
of will be abandoned.
Commercial growers have, of course,
long since given to these fruits as good
culture as to any general crop. None
of the fruits should ever be planted
where they cannot be cultivated with
ease on both sides of the row, and to
allow weeds and grass to grow up and
choke them is to invite disease and in
sect injury. For ease of cultivation
the garden should be long, rectangu-
lar plot of ground and unless absolutely
necessary should not be fenced at all.
Sooner or later farmers will learn
that all useless and unnecessary fences
simply serve as harbors for vermin and
insects without adding one dollar in
value to the place. Fence the stock
where it must be done but let the
plants have free air, sunlight and good
culture. No particular effcrt at special
culture is necessary for these fruits,
but the gooseberries and currants, es-
pecially, require good soil and will be
much benefited by a mulching of chip
dirt or coal esAes. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that oil persons know that the
old canes must be removed each year
from blackberries and raspberries and
that currants and gooseberries require
judicious pruning by cutting away the
old wood. Mirror and Farmer.

FERTILIzING ORCHARDS.

Professor /. p Roberts sent to the
Western New York Horticultural So
ciety an interesting paper on this sub
ject, in which he said that the par
ticular advantage of forest soils is the
great amount of humus they contain.
The roots in the soil serve as drainage
tubes, and as they rot away the soil
becomes hard and compact.
In many orchards the cheapest way
to get plant food is by the intelligent
use of the drain tile. In those
that are naturally underdrained this
would not pay. Where an additional
fertilizer is wanted stable manure is
the most available and cheapest form,
but it contains too much nitrogen in
proportion to its mineral elements,
and is apt to force the growth of wood
too much. 1t should, therefore, be
well rotted before being applied.
Where nitrogen is wanted it can be
obtained cheaper by the use of vetches
and other leguminous plants. The
vetch is the most suitable plant for
covering the land late in the season.
The seed can be sowed in June or July,
and plants will cover the ground com
pletely by winter. Farmers Home

Life PreserYers for Wells.

The East India coolie is fatalist;
thinks as little of killing himself as
the Chinaman or Japanese. In point
of fact he entertains marked prefer
ence for self-destruction as means of
showing pique at a real or fancied in
jury. In the city of Bombay this
tendency has long been source of
considerable inconvenience and danger,
as the favorite method of the Eastern
suicide is to jump into well, and it is
stated that there is scarcely well i'll
the city that has not, at some time,
been used for that purpose. An in
genious native East Indian has met
this difficulty by inventing a simple
and durable appliance, which has the
merit of not only preventing suicide,
also accidental drowning i'll wells SO
excellently is this device adapted for
this purpose that it has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. 1t consists of IL
hoop of wood or metal, over which is
stretched net of light tarred rope
with four-inch meshes. Metallic
drums support this net just far enough
under the water of the well to enable
the buckets to sink and dip, but there
is not enough water above the net to
drown person. New York Tele-

The Forty.Acre Farmer.

ssMy father used to tell me about the
richest man he ever knew" said steady
young fellow few days ago, says the
Detroit Free Press. s'That man had a
wife and three children on a cozy little
forty-acre farm. He had few hun
dred dollars in the bank and was al
ways adding to it, for his expenses were
far below the profits of his little place.
That man had no sickness in his family.
He was happy. He had everything
that he wanted and was independent.
So he was the richest man my father
ever knew. cannot say that agree
with my respected ancestor" continued
the young man, '9for that man never
knew of the modern luxuries of life,
those thousand and one little improve
ments and conveniences that go to
make ease for man, the gradual work
ing out of the theory of the eventful
complete mastery of mind over mat
ter"
''You are looking" said the older
man, ''to that time when the mind will
sit in an inert body and do nothing but
command. True it is that the tendency
of grave question whether the good OF
the human race calls for the fulfillment
of the plan. The mind of man is the
master, but the man who looks forward
to the hour when he can sit and by the
pressing of button have the world al
his feet is not the man who will bring
these things about. We yearn for inn
provements that will make life easier
yet with the time-saving methods Of
to-day the race is buster and less rest
taking than ever. agree with the
old gentleman who thought the forty
acre farmer with happy surrounding
the richest man he ever knew"

Lumber in the Northwest.

Some surprising figures have just
been published anent the great lumber
industry of the Pacific Northwest
They illustrate how bountifully that
expansive region has been timbered.
In Washington and Oregon there
are over one thousand lumber and
wood working firms, representing a
combined capital of nearly $50, ,000,-
900 and employing %, 900 men. The
value of the product is in the neighbor-
hood of S25, 100000 yearly. Ten
millions of dollars are annually brought
into these two States from foreign and
domestic points in exchange for lum-
Der, lath, shingles and other wood
products.
In Washington the cut of lumber for
1892 showed large decrease over the
preceding year by reason of the fact
that the building boom beginning il
1890 began to subside during the latter
part of 1891. The cargo trade, how
ever, during 1892, and the coastwist
movement, considerably increased, ant
the Eastern demand for rail shipments
of lumber from Washington increased
fully twenty per cent. According t.
indications, this years record vii
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1893-06-02


eclipse all others of the past in the
commercial progress of the Pacific
Northwest. The Puget Sound Lumber
man estimates that the standing timber
in the State of Washington amounts in
round numbers to Alb, 900, 900, 600
feet.
In order to grasp the magnitude of
these figures let the reader, in his
minds eye, imagine solid train, 10, :
900 feet of lumber to the car, stretch
ing 154, 900 miles; or six times around
the earth, and then enough cars left to
make train stretching from Tacoma
across the continent to the middle of
the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty cars for
n train, it would take 542, 600 trains
to transport the standing timber OF
Washington.
