eral ingredients may be applied in
proper quantities when needed, insur-
ing thereby successful crops. Farmers
unaccustomed to irrigation readily
acquire a practical knowledge OF 1t
and infinitely prefer it to dependence
on natural rainfall to which they have
previously been accustomed.
GOOD HOME MARKET.
one-half the population of Colorado
lives in cities and towns OF the plains,
more than one-fourth in mining dis
tricts, furnishing good home market
for the products of the less than one
fourth living in rural districts. AS a
matter of fact, Colorado is annually
sending to other states about $1,000
900 for dairy products, $1,000, 600 for
pork supplies, over 81, 900, 900 for poul-
try produce and considerably over
81 600, 600 for fruits, all of which ought
to be raised at home.
There is growing public sentiment
on the part of the citizens of Colorado
to give the preference in their pur-
chases to Colorado products, not only
to encourage home industries, but be-
cause of their superior quality.
DAIRYING.
While dairying is annually growing
in Importance, the creameries and
cheese factories throughout the state
have often more local orders than they
can supply. The fact Is there are not
nearly enough mich cows in the state
20 supply the home market for dairy
products. While some of the dairy
men are conducting the business on
the most improved methods and conse-
quently making money, others who
sell milk to the creameries, keep cows
which do not yield above eight quarts
per day and do not milk some of their
stock to exceed three months in the
year, in fact, they are simply range
stock producing calves and some milk.
The creameries pay an average price
the year round of S5 cents per 100
pounds for fresh milk, and keep only
the separated cream. The cheese fac
tories pay about cents per 100 pounds
more than the creameries and return
the whey to the farmers. The average
annual Wholesale price of Colorado
creamery butter is % cents a pound.
There is state law against oleo and
a state dairy commissioner to see to
its enforcement II more cows were
kept in Colorado and more butter and
cheese made, the by-products would
result in greater number of hogs be-
ing raised and fattened, and Colorado
would no longer, as now, send $780,
900 per annum to other states for live
hogs and an additional $3.50. 600 for hog
products.
FRUIT RAISING AND MARKET GARDENING.
Colorado does not yet produce more
than 90 per cent of the fruit 1t con-
sumes, and Notwithstanding the great
increase during recent years of the
area planted to fruit, principally or
chards, it is not at all likely that the
supplv will equal the home demand

In supplying bedding for the stock
one should consider not only the ques-
ton of the comfort of the animals and
the cheapness of the material, but also
the question of manure making, writes
w. E. Farmer in american Cultiva-
tor" We can not afford to use cheap
bedding freely, that will injure the
manure pile, nor anything that will
not add to its value. On the other
hand, the stock should never be
neglected in this way, even though
bedding is somewhat expensive. Ami
mails confined in close winter quarters
will naturally soil themselves unless
good bedding is supplied, and this will
always affect their health in the end.
The bedding acts as good absorbent,
and cleans out the stable better than
any other thing. 1t pays to furnish
good bedding, even il we get no benefit
from it other than of improving the
health of the stock But bedding
that makes good manure pays well.
1t is sometimes the most profitable
way to use surplus material on the
farm. II used judiciously, so that it
will absorb all of the liquids of the
stable, 1t saves the farmer more than
it costs to supply it to the animals.
Many consider bedding only as valua-
BILE in making the animals more COM
Portable, and hence they neglect to pro-
vide it in sufficient quantity. The
straw and litter will all be sold off the
farm for n mere song, while the stock
goes without good bedding, and the
farm is being robbed of the plant food
it is crying so loudly for. Unless straw
can be sold at good price it is better
to use all that is possible for the stable
where the stock is kept through the
winter. Good rye and wheat straw
make the best bedding, and this will
absorb all of the liquid in the stables,
besides adding good material to the
soil. Good straw, however, in many
parts of the country sells well, bring
ing prices that the farmers can not
afford to let go by. 1t is probably
economy then to sell all Of the good
straw, and use only the litter and
broken shcaves for bedding.

PRICE OF LAND.

From the foregoing it will be seen
that small farms, say of about forty
acres, thoroughly cultivated, devoted
to dairying, hogs, poultry, fruit and
market gardening, have a home mar
ket for their products. The present
Colorado farms usually run in size
from so to 800, or even greater mum;
Der of acres, and many are now ready
for subdivision, but small farms can
frequently be purchased, leased or
rented. The price varies according to
proximity to city and railroad, rang
ing from over 5000 down to SEQ per
acre, including water rights
AN EVER INCREASING MARKET.
The recent marvellous development
of gold mining in Colorado, with its
even more wonderfully certain future;
the vast coal fields and equally vast
iron and other mineral deposits of
Colorado; together with the certain
great manufacturing futures of Denver
and Pueblo, in addition to the steady
influx of population, MI guarantee an
ever increasing Colorado market for
farm products, and there is no reason
whatever why they should be imported
from other states.

SOWING THE SEED.

And hoped to get a crop OF wheat,
And then strewed acorns on the lea,
Expecting TO raise pears TO eat

And said good cookies three he'd bet
Ofnavy beans he d cut his hill
Another sage OF wisdom vast
Sowed peas from nj Iht till early morn,
Expectin that he'd reap at last
wondrous crop OF fine sweet corn.

Beast, bird or Fish.

A member of the party takes his
place in the center of the floor, with a
cane in hand, while the others seat
themselves in II circle about the room.
Then the one on the floor points the
cane ut some one in the company, and,
after saying one Of the above words,
proceeds to count up to ten. Unless
the person pointed ut can in the mean
time give the name of some animal of
the kind required, not already cited
by scmc other player, he must take
the place Of the one on the floor.
After the names of commoner animals
are exhausted, the game becomes q
test Of quickness and memory. Often
the person pointed mt becomes so dis
concerted by the quick thrust of the
cane toward him that he can hardly
collect his thoughts before ten have
been counted; or by giving the name
of fish when n bird was called for,
for instance, causes much amusement

The Henhouse.

A poultry writer says: Select a
southerly position for the hen-house,
that the hens may enjoy the sunshine
In cold weather. Have a dry situa-
ton. Make the house SO that It can
be well ventilated In warm weather,
and yet warm in the coolest weather.
II should be well lighted, and so ar
ranged that the windows may be taken
out to admit the air in the summer.
Remove the old nests as often as every
month. Bury or burn them. Make
new nests of clean hay or straw, and
sprinkle them with sulphur-powder
and keep the house we'll whitew ashed;
make the whitewash very salt, and
your hens viii not be troubled With
lice.

Chaplin Mine to Close Down.

The Marine bank, of Milwaukee, has
commenced foreclosure proceedings
against the Chaplin Mining company,
of Iron Mountain, which is indebted to
the bank in the sum of $4,000. The
mine has been inactive since August
last, and it is now said the pumps will
stop running in April unless Mr..
Chaplin, the fee owner, agrees to fur
nish money to keep them moving.
The prospects are that the mine will
not be wrought this season. This is a
heavy blow to the city, as the mine
last year employed steadily 1000 men,
and was the largest producer of iron
ore in the Lake Superior region.

Travellers of the Sky.

Several years ago certain gentle
man was living in the German capital
with his family. There were many
new sights and sounds to interest the
American family, but nothing more
fascinating than the colony of white
storks, which settled on the adjacent
housetops and made bird-village OF
the nestled chimney-staclls.
The birds had such an air of pro-
prietorship and general coziness, that
some member of the family insisted
that that particular part of the city
was the regular summer home of
these tourists, who returned to their
old quarters each season, in human
fashion. This idea was not accepted
as fact, and there were many specula-
tions as to some possible means of
testing the theory. Not being up in
the stork language, no one could ask
questions and get answers, neither
could any mortal remember the fine
points of stork physiognomy from year
to year.
plan was finally decided upon,
and one particularly aristocratic mon.
arch-of-all-I-survey looking bird was
enticed by good dinner into the gar
den. There silver ring was placed
about his leg on which was engraved
Berlin, 1885," He then flew back to
his favorite chimney, and ere long he
joined the passing focks that were
constantly leaving for the South.
Many thought followed the feather
ed fugitive during the long winter,
and at the first sign of spring eager
eyes watched for the return of the
travellers.
After many days distant line of
storlls, far up in the blue, came into
view. Over the clergyman's house
several detached themselves from the
sky caravan and lowered around the
dwelling. A tempting feast was pre-
pared, and presently the weary pill
grims flew down into the yard.
Friendly eyes watched every move
ment with joyous welcome. Imagine
the surprise when one of the flock was
seen to have two silver rings upon it's
legs
Behold! the old ring was back again,
and accompanying it another, which
read: India sends greeting to Ber-
lin ~

Albert N. Parker, assessor of school
district No. 9, Grand Rapids, left home
over two weeks ago and has not yet re-
turned. His accounts show that he has
collected $1,000 and this money could
not be found in the bank. His wife
processes not to know where he Is. The
township board elected successor to
Parker and secured warrant for en-
bezzlement.

Wheat In MaryIand.

The Maryland Experiment station
in its summary for the past year in its
report says: The only experiment made
with wheat was with varieties; forty
kinds having been tested. The ground
was thoroughly prepared, and the
wheat sown the latter part of Septem-
GER; 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre
was applied; the nitrogen in this being
supplied by nitrate OF soda, and fish
scrap. The idea in using the two
forms being-that the nitrate, acting
as it does very promptly, would give
the wheat good start in the fall; and
the fish scrap, being slower in it's eff
fects, would take up the work after
the nitrate had been exhausted. In
midwinter top dressing Of stable
manure was applied, with manure
spreader, and about twenty bushels Of
stone lime to the acre. On harvesting
and threshing it, most gratifying re-
turn was the result; the forty varie.
ties averaged 32.2 bushels per acre
seven of them exceeded 40-and two
made over AZ bushels per acre.

HORTICULTURE AND InRIGATIoN.-In
the recent irrigation agitation, horticul-
ture has had a prominent notice. When
land is handled under irrigation and
the supply Of water is under control,
it pays better to raise horticultural
crop worth $500 or 81 900 an acre than
to grow some common farm cereal
worth $40 or SIS an acre, The irrigated
counties Of western Kansas show a
noteworthy tendency to horticultural
pursuits.

SOME REMARKABLE DREAMS.



Transfereaoe.
A New Hampshire woodsman tells the
following story. " hich he appears 10 believe
implicitly. This winter was AZ work for

The next day staid in camp, and before
noon Bill was brought in dead. A limb
had fallen and broken his skull. lie and 1
worked together. My sister has come TO
save life once since. Boys, this is God s
truth"
The following cases OF suggestion in
dreams are related In Kate Fields Wash
ington: A lady dreamed that man came
into her room, poured some water into a
basin, carried the splashing water to her
bedside and began 20 sprinkle IL over her.
She awoke and heard loud splashing At
first she was motionless with fear, but
presently she lighted n candle and went to
the basin, where she found a mouse max
ing frantic efforts TO get out Of the water.
A young man dreamed that he was in his
Office, busy with "A troublesome estimate,
when n woman cameein with a screaming
baby and began TO walk rapidly up and
down the room, 50 that IL was impossible
for the calculator TO remember his figures.
Presently the woman thrust the child into
his arms, and he was 50 startled by this
that he awoke. But the screams still trou-
bled his ears for "A mother in a neighboring
room was walking about vainly trying to
quiet n crying child.
Another incident appears to be "A case Of
thought trnnsference. Several years after
the death Of her husband a widow, lying
awake one night, recalled wildly some
scenes of her husbands last illness. Pres
emily her daughter, who was beside her,
nwoke and said, "Oh, mamma, | have been
going over in my dreams all the scenes Of
papa's illness" She then told her dream,
in which the scenes were almost the coun-
terpart of those that had been recalled by
her mother.
