INCIDENT OF A WEDoINo-TRIP.
How tho Groom Thought Of the Bride
just In Time,


just In Time.
The wife of a well-lSnown New York
err told about an incident of her we'd
ding-trip the other evening as illus
trating the forgetfulness of man who
has only recently abandoned selfish
Dictatorship. They had only just be-
gun their bridal journey. On that aft
ernoon the train left the track and
began to bump along the ties. 1t hap
pened at that moment that the newly
made husband was walking down the
aisle of the car away from the seat
where his bride sat. He knew that
part of the railroad very we'll, and he
was terrified at having the train leave
the track there. for they were upon a
bend on steep and lofty embankment.
With a, thought OF nothing but the
peril which threatened the train he
dashed madly for the door. He was on
the platform already, careening and
wavering and in another instant he
would have leaped, when, unconscious
ly looking back at the danger he was
leaving, he saw his wife. Instantly he
turned and dashed back into the car.
He was just in the nick of time to
reach his wife, for already the car was
lettering. T-
Hold on for your life he cried to
her. "We are going headlong over the
bend"
He had fallen in the aisle at her side,
and cliuging to the seat he held his
wife.
Hold on for your life.' he cried
again, ''for we are going overt
And they did go over several times,
and though the bridal couple were cut
and bruised terribly, they were more
fortunate than many others, for the
death list after that wreck was long
one.

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 home mar
ket for their products. The present
Colorado farms usually run in size
from so to 800, or even a greater num-
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 $500 down to $50 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, all guarantee an
ever increasing Colorado market for
farm products, and there is no reason
whatever why they should be imported
from other states.

Ashos as Absorbent.

T best use that can be made Of
coal ashes is TO sift and put them ua.
der the hen roost as 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 very
valuable manure. But put under the
hen roost the potash mixes with the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS valuable element
u 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 tccnl. After the heat has sub
sided yop nave 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 peoria say
that you 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 and bodice
of the fowls. Now it will not do this
unless the ashes or the fowls bodies
are wet, and we claim that this is the
real 9se of wood ashes in the poultry
ysrd. You can have a box with a cover
/ ic which to keep the ashes, shutting
the cover down on wet or rainy days
when the fowls bodies are liable to be
wet. The ashes will be a great helu
to the fowls in keeping off insect pests
and they will find quite little char
coal in the ashes which will aid in Ct
costing their food and correcting
bowel disorders. We think too il

average of crops and prices actually
obtained during 1898, as reported by
the Denver Fruit Growers association,
the following were the money yields
to the acre for small fruits and vege-
tables: Strawberries, s359, black
berries 5000, raspberries s4oO, currants
500, onions SOL. celery s4jJ, cabbage
500. The establishment of more fruit
preserving factories will increase the
demand for small fruits. As to toma-
toes, the average yield TO the acre is
10 tons and the canning factories pay
50 cents per 100 pounds or 500 an acre,
but as matter of fact, the great bulk

It should be well lighted, and so ar
