COLORADO I'M BTxOGL1O.
Legislative Session Called and
impeachment NGOOeed.

DENVER, Dec. 2o.-An attempt will be
made to adjourn the special session of
the Legislature called by the Governor
Immediately after the assembling. Both
the Speaker of the House and the Lieu
tenant Governor are openly hostile to
the special session. Impeachment talk
has begun again, and further efforts will
be made to find some good reason for
this course. All influential men in the
State will strive to prevail upon the
members to meet and promptly adjourn.
II is now predicted that the session will
last 60 days as the Governor has included
in the call consideration of bills which
tailed to pass the last session, and which
were somewhat important.

this, and also to operate slide which
covers an opening in the bottom of the

the floor. In falling it strikes a metal
disk. which scatters it and warns Biddy
that supper is ready. 1t is interesting

with 2-ply tarred roofing felt, and the
sides arc lined with single ply tarred

is to stop any drafts from coming up
through the Goor, and also to provide
good dust bath for the hens. The roof

one takes an ordinary feeding trough

According to report from the COM
missioner of industrial statistics for
Rhode Island, there are in that state 271
abandoned farms. Upon the majority
of these, it is said, even the grass is not
cut. In the localities of these deserted
farms it appears that there is a regular
drain upon them for mill help, which
has been in good demand. Then, too,
many of the farms are remote from rail
roads and good markets.

Orchard Grass For Pasture.

Owing to its habit of starting anew as
soon as cut down. almost without regard
to weather or season of the year, if the
ground is not frozen, orchard grass
makes an excellent pasture when thickly
seeded. giving feed both early and late
in the season. 1t will bear continuous
feeding better than almost anything but
blue grass, but it has one fault: If not
cut or fed down, the last late fall growth,
when heavy. is liable to fall down upon
the crown of the roots and smother itself
out. Those who have it should look out
that there is not much left standing on
the field when winter comes in. 1t Is also
easily smothercd ly weeds when it first
comes up, ana If they are plenty they
should be mOwn down until the grass
gets above them.
For pasture COW in April or May, using
about p bushels of seed to the acre. 1t
may be mown twice the first year if it
does well. and moving one or two years
would seem to make better pasture after
ward than to turn the cattle ON the first
season. The tufts stool out more ald get
a better and deeper hold. 1t will grow
upon almost any field where blue grass
will. though it likes best rich, deep
loil. If not mown. the cattle should not
be turned on it before the late fall, but
it might be cut and fed green or cured
in July. We should certainly sow blue
grass and white clover with it forpastur-
age unless seen that they would come in
spontaneously, says American Cultiva-
tor, authority for the foregoing
