Profit In Colorado Farms.

On account of the fertility of the
soil. the superiority of the climate and
the great advantages of irrigation,
Colorado is peculiarly adapted for the
successful operation of small and
medium-sized farms, if conducted by
men of intelligence, experience and
enterprise, and there is perhaps no
greater opportunity for this class of
farming in any state of the Union than
at present exists in Colorado. Over
five million of dollars is annually sent
from Colorado to other states for the
purchase of small farm products which
this state could and should produce.
The soil of Colorado ranges from
light sandy loan to the deep a~lluvial.
A large percentage of the soils are of
scoriac origin, rich, productive and
easily worked. sThey are suitable for
the crops of all the eastern states and
for many of the crops of the states
north and south. No better climate
exists for agriculture in its various
forms. The freczIng of winter is suf-
ficient to secur 4 mellow, Goddess
soil for spring blowing and planting.
The springs are usually early. with
sufficient precipitation to terminate
ali crops without irrigation. Under
the influence of perfect summer days
coupled with the superior benefits of
irrigation, the growing crops are
forced to early and complete maturity.
The characteristic mildness of late
autumn weather gives exceptional op-
portunitics for the harvest of roo
crops and the last cutting of alfalfa,
while the splendid winter climate af-
fords excellent conditions for stock
feeding.
Irrigation is of great advantage be-
cause of its positive security against
drouth. The water, with its rich min

Ashes rs Absorbent.

The best use that can be made of
coal ashes is to sift and put them un-
der the hen roost q an absorbent,
says a writer in "American Poultry
Advocate" Sifted coal ashes absorb
liquids, fix volatile ammonia, thus pre-
venting offensive odors. But with
wood ashes it is different. The worst
possible use you can make of wood
ashes is potash, which makes it a very
valuable n But put under the
hen rOost the potash mixes with the
announcements valuable element
in the hen manure and the potash is
changed to the volatile carbonate of
ammonia and away it goes up among
the fowls, perhaps doing much dam
age to them. After the heat has sub
sided you have a manure that
isn't worth very much. This process
is generally termed heating. Coal
ashes fix" the ammonia so that it
does not heat and yet the ammonia is
retained all the same and you have a
valuable manure. Some people say
that O should never put wood ashes
where the hens can wallow in them,
claiming that the potash in the ashes
will make sores on the legs Id bodies
of the fowls. Now it will not do this
unless the ashes or the fow Is bodies
are wet, and VIC clai N that this is the
real use Of wood ashes in the poultry
ward. You can have a box with q cover
in which to keep the ashes. shutting
the cover down on wet or rainy days
when the fowls bodies arc liable to be
wet. The ashes will be . great help
to the fowls in keeping off insect pests,
and they will find quite a little char
coal in the ashes which will aid in di-
their food and correcting
bowel disorders. We think too it

An Economical Citizen.

A Galveston man in his shirt-sleeves,
without any hat, and in Il condition that
showed he must have run about three
miles in as many minutes, stopped a po-
liceman and told him to hurry up and
come along, as there was a tramp ut his
house who refused to leave. The pO-
liccman suggested that, owing to the
distance and the exhausted condition of
the other party, they had better take Il
street-car. "Take-a-street-car! Pay

Light .lr HeaYY Seed Wheat.

Bulletin 90 of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station says: Experiments con
Quoted at this station and elsewhere
have shown that good, heavy weight
wheat gives better results for seed
purposes than light weight wheat of
the same variety. Among the more
important results that can be cited in
this connection are those obtained by
IIellricgel, who showed that the heav-
ier the seed the more vigorous is the
young plant, and where there was not
an over abundance of plant fOod in the
soil the differences in vigor Of the
plants are traced wen up to h time
Of harvest. In order to determine in
what way the causes of these differ
cnccs are due to differences in
chemical composition between the
heavy and light weight wheat.
twelve samples were secured ranging
in weight from fifty-tivc to siXty-fvc
pounds per bushel. These samples
of wheat were all grown from
one lot of seed. and in different parts
of the state. The differences in grade
and weight per bushcl of these. wheat
samples are due to differences in soil,
climate and methods of cultivation,
and not due to seed. The important:
differences that are to be noted as to
the amount of reserve plant food stored
up III each kind of grain, are observed
among the separate mineral matters
that are found in the ash and taken
from the SOL. Every hundred pounds
of wheat, whethcrligkt or heavy weight,
contains about two pounds mineral
matter, but the separate compounds
such as potash and phosphltes are
present in quite different amounts in
the two cases. The heavy weight
whca:, pound for pound, contains
more phosphoric acid and potash, and
less of nearly all the other elements
than the light weight seed.
The summary of the experiments is
Is follows:
/. Heavy weight seed wheat con-
ta'ns a larger quantity of valu-
able food materials for the young
plant in the form of nitrogen, phoS-
phOric acid and potash, than light
weight wheat of the same variety.
This additional reserve f,ol is sup
piled to the young plants, and pro
duces a more vigorous growth
> The additional fertilizer mitcrial
that is present in a buehel OF heavy
weight wheat is worth from three to |
five cents more per busiiei.
). The same characteristic differ
enccs that arc noted between heavy
and light weight seed wheat arc OBJ
served between healthy an ! vigorous.
and poor and sicily wheat plants even
at tie time of harvest.
/. The wheat plant takes up over
t~hree-fourths of its food from the soil
before heading ont.
;. The soil must be cultivated and
. ragged in such 4 way so as to supply
the growing wheat crop with at least
three fourtts of its mineral food and

TRASsPLANrING IN THE NIGHT. A
gentleman, anxious to ascertain the
effect of transplanting at night, instead
of by day. made an experiment with the
following results: He transplanted ten
cherry trees while in bloom, commencing
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. Those
transplantad during the daylight shed
their blossoms, producing little or 10
fruit, while those transplantcd in the
dark maintained their condition fully.
He did the same with ten dwarf trees.
after the fruit was One-third grown.
Those transplanted during the day shed
their fruit ; those transplanted during
the night perfected the crop and showed
no injury from having been removed
With each Of these trees he removed
some earth with the roots. The incl
dent is fully vOuched for, and, if a few
similar experiments produce a like re-
suit, it Will he strong argument to hor-
ticulturists, etc. t. do such work at

not given i good account Of themselves
in the winter will begin to lay as soon
as spring opens, and keep at it until

tinuc the same food in srsing
