SUGAR sggrs AND ALFALFA.

Now 10 the time for farmers 70 make plans
for raising large acreage Of sugar bsets
this season. Ths soil and climate Of Colo
rsdo are especially adapted TO their growth |
and evon those farms that have no late Watsf
can still obtain good crop. 1t would b .

tories could BE- located In our midst, - this
10 the most satisfactcry way of marketing tho
crop. But even without the factory, the su-
gar beets arc one Of the best paying crops
Alfalfa Il, and for many years will be. the main
dependence Of Colorado farmers for stock
feeding. The present custom 10 to feed the
Alfalfa with grain. Experiments at the
State Agricultural College Of Colorado have
shown that bssts can fully take the place Of
lambs and the other with ewes, tho animals
fed sugar beets instead Of grain made just
the same gains as those that had liberal
supply Of grain. Three pounds of sugar beets
grain. At fifteen dollars ton for grain this
makes the feeding value of the sugar beeta
five dollars per ton. Crops grown at the Ag-
ricultural College, In which records were kept
Of all expenses, have shown that beets can be
grown for two dollars and half o ton. More
over, there 10 always the added advantage in
feeding crop grown on the farm instead OF
one purchased.

off on sugar beets will compare we'll with the

That, Of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets arc
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
regular, not to further constipate,. as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The Pleasant Pellets" are far more effec-
tive in arousing the liver to action than "blue
pills." calomel, or other mercurial prepara-
tions, and have the further merit Of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in
care is required while using them.
Composed of tho choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that Of other pills found in the mar
are put up in each scaled glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can be had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.
DR.. Pierce prides himself on having been

Flvo vowels in = Row.

The Hawaiian language is com
posed mainly of voweis, and a few
consonants put in to vary the mo-
notony. And the beauty Of the sys-
tenn is that there is no waste. Every
vowel is pronounced. For instance,
when the American eye winks at the
appearance OF the simple word
..naauao," the GLIB native rolls out
tn. five syllables with neatness and
dispatch. This means "enlighten. !"
Double vowels are very frequent. but
never a diphthong. Three vowels
are not uncommon. and, as above.
four and sometimes more are found
unseparated by consonants In the
mouth of the uneducated native the
language is apt to be explosive. but
the higher classes speak it with a
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound 1t some
what resembles the general flow Of
the continental European languages.
for the vowels all have the French
quality, and the accents are not dis
similar. nr.-Washineton Star.

A Hardy 'Po.sum.

playing 'possum'' is common ex-
preston for deceit. and every boy
knows that the opossum frequently
fools his pursuers by pretending to be
dead until an opportunity for escape
occurs. The Chicago Herald describes
'possum which seems to be unusually
hardy for his species
In the bottom of n barrel down on
South Water street calmly reposes a
'possum with a history. His sleek. well
fed appearance gives no indication of
the hard times he had when resident
Of the suburbs of Ashkum, in Egypt,
Illinois. In November, 1890, he WAS
waylaid by small boy with shotgun.
His inanimate form was thrown into
box with lot of dead rabbits, and
shipped to Z. G. Reichwald & Brother,
Chicago On his arrival here he was
hung up by the tail to the awning
frame in front of the store, and remain
ed there for nearly week.
"At the end of that time one of the
salesmen thought he detected signs OF
life in the little fellow. He accordingly
took him inside, washed the blood out
of his eyes. and gave him warm place
near the stove. In few days the lit
tie animal was all right; but one day he
disappeared.
Yesterday morning one of the men
brought down a barrel of swcepings
from the loft on the fifth floor. He pro-
posed burning them up In the cannon
stove on the main floor. The first hand
full or two burned all right, and the
man reached down to the bottom OF
the barrel for double armful.
His hands came together on the
sleek and shiny coat Of the lost gentle
man from Ashkum. His discovery
cleared up good many mysteries that
have developed during his two years
residence in Chicago Mr.. Reichwald
now knows who selected his finest
boxes of strawberries last spring, who
ate his blue-rlbbon celery from Kala
mazoo, who ate the finest bananas in the
cellar, who ate the pineapples the pears
cherries, grapes, onions, and other deli
cacIes which his firm has missed from
| time to time"

Great was the rejoicing in the Castle
Of Worms one evening about four hun
, drsd years ago. Nearly all the German
MOBILES and princes were assembled in
the spacious hall, and good-fellowship
and enjoyment reigned supreme.
Suddenly, however, some one made
an unfortunate remark as to the diner'
ence that existed between the wealth
Of the various states. But none OF the
rulers would admit that he was poorer
than the others, and each one strove TO
prove the truth Of his assertion.
"What can compare with my domin'
ions." spoke the Prince of Saxony.
proudly, "every mountain OF which
holds a silver miner"

swered the Count Palatine Of the Rhine
Provinces, with their valleys covered
with golden cornfelds and their hills
crowned with rich vineyards"
when 1t comes to that" said Lewis,
the Count of Bavaria. II consider that
my realm, with its wealthy cities and
stately abbeys, Is not one whit INFERIOR
to either of yours"
And so the talk went on, each strlv-
ing to outdo his neighbors In the des-
crlption of the extent of his territories
and the wealth they contained.
One, however, remained silent, and at
last noticing that he took no part In the
discussion, the others turned to hip
with the question
"Well, Duke Eberhard, and wherein
lies the richness of your possessionsT'
Slowly the well-beloved lord Of Wur-
temberg arose.
1.-THE towns in my domains are but
small" said he; nor do 1 possess noun
taIns of silver. But there is one tri-
fle on which may, perhaps, pride my
self, and it is this: can. at any time
venture alone into the most secluded
forests of my domain, and when 1 am
wearied can boldly rest my head In
the lap of the meanest Of my subjects. !"
To these words succeeded n moments s
silence, and then-'No need to argue
further!' shouted the others. Our
lands indeed may contain gold and Sill

of dark ore," the nature Of which
they not knowing, sent specimens to
San Francisco for assay. This was
the discovery of the famous Comstock
lode. Thereupon some milling ma
chinery was dragged over the noun
tains, and the silver output of the
1869 figures in the United States Mint
report at round $4,000, ,ooo-necessa-
rily loose estimate.
We skip ten years, to 1870. In this
year the estimated value of the silver
output has raised to SIG, 1000, ,000, the
price of silver ruling throughout at
about $1.32 per ounce. All this silver
was got from the mines discovered
ON and about the Comstock lode.
From 1870 on, we find the silver
production of the country going for
ward with rapid strides. The Com
stock reached it's maximum of pro-
duction between 1875 and 1878. AS
this lode gave out, Utah came for
ward as producer; then came Col
orado, then Montana; and these two
are now the largest producers.
While the value of the output in
1870 was SIG, 900, 900, silver ruling then
about $1.30 per ounce, in 1873 the out
put had jumped to nearly 2s,OO0,000
ounces, valued at about $36, 200, 900,
the average price per ounce for the
year being fraction over $1.29. In
1873 the output was 81, 100000, and the
average price was $1.15. In 1880 the
output had receded to 30,0O0,O 900 ounc-
es, average price S1.14. In 1882 it had
risen again to Sc, 1000, 900 ounces, aver
age price LOG. In 1886 it was SO, ,OOO,-
900 ounces, average price SO cents.
Early in 1890 the great speculation
was started in silver by the Sherman
act. The production of the year rose
to 81 ,OOO,0 ounces, and the specula-
ton referred to raised the average
price to $1.O4. In the following year
production was still further raised to
100000 ounces, but the average
price fell back to SO cents. In 1892
production was about the same, and
the price declined to about 81 cents.
It is expected that the mint report
will show that there is some decline
in production during 1898. The av-
erage price for the year is calculated
Valentines Report) at "a cents. The
present quotation for silver is about
60 cents
