that he had q Severe Kidney trouble

Ashes as Absorbent.

T best use that can be made Of
coal ashes is to sift and put them n.
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 a very
valuable manure. But put under the
hen roost the potash mixes with the
ar1nonia-another valuable element
il 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 tcom. After the heat has sub
sided yep nave a manure hat
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
valuable manure. Some peore 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 bodios
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
res: 1se of wood ashes in the poultry
yard. You can have box with cover
IL which to keep the ashes, shutting
She cover down on wet or rainy days
when the fowls bodies are liable to be

to the fowls in keeping off insect pests,
and they will find quite little char
coal in the ashes which will aid in d.
costing their food and correcting
bowel disorders. We think too it

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 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, all guarantee an
ever increasing Colorado market for
farm products, and there is no reason
whatever why they should be imported
from other states.

In supplying bedding for the stock
one should consider notonly 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 a good absorbent,
and cleans out the stable better th9n
any other thing. 1t pays to furnish
good bedding, even If 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. If used judiciously, so that it
will absorb all of the liquids Of the
stable, it saves the farmer more than
It costs to supply it to the animals.
May 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 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 sheaves for bedding.

A GOOD HOME MARKET.
0ne-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
600 for dairy products, $780, 600 for
pork supplies, over 81, 900, 600 for poul-
try produce and considerably OVER
$1,000, 900 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 mileh cows in the state
to supply the home market for dairy
products While some of the dairy
men are conducting the business on
the most improved methods and eonse-
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, q s<S. they are simply range
stock pfo6zAng calves and some milk.
The creameries pay an average price
the year round of IS cents per 100
pounds for fresh milk. and keep only
the separated cream. The cheese fac
tories pay about S 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 2S cents a pound
There is state law against oleo and
state dairy commissioner to see to
its enforcement If 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 ColoradS
would no longer, as now, send s75S,-
900 per annum to other states for live
hogs and an additional $50, 900 for hog
products.
FRUIT RAISING AND MARKET GARDENING.
Colorado does not yet produce more
than 20 per cent of the fruit it 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
supply will equal the home depend
