The course of events turns western
miners from silver to gold. Gold is
the metal now sought for, and silver
is considered rather as valuable by
product. AS result the output of
gold in Colorado this year will reach
$22, 900, 600; the yield Of silver will be
$12, 300, 900; of lead, $1,000, 900; copper
81, 800, 900 and iron 50, 900, 600 all told
$52, 700, 900. For the first time Colo
RADIO takes rank as the first among
the gold producing states, and Cali
fornia falls into second place, with
gold output for the year estimated at
S17, ,O0O,O 600. And yet the surface has
been barely scratched in the develop
ment of the mineral wealth of Colo
rado, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and other Rocky mountain states

That S155, 100000 gold fund in the
treasury is a fine illustration of the
feeling of financial security which
prevails. At one time during the
Bryan canvass the reserve was down
to 800, 100000, and everybody who
had any means of forcing gold out of
the treasury used it. Just now any
sort of paper money is preferable to
gold to the average man. Thus the
gold drifts to the banks and the
treasury. The banks seem to have
more of it than they know what to do
with, while the treasury hoard is
growing at the rate Of over 81 ,00O,-
600 a week. That prediction of
treasury official that the reserve
would reach $17O, 100000 or $1SO,OO0,-
900 before the expected winter gold
outflow starts is not unreasonable.

Imposing In Appearance and the Ffnesk
Speaker Of His Time.
In appearance Kossuth was taller
y than Americans had been led to sup
pose. His face had an expression Of pen
serating intellect, z writes Parke God
win, recalling the American visit in
1851 Of the great Hungarian patriot
in a paper Of the Great Personal
Events series in The Ladies Home
Journal. It was long, the forehead
broad, but not excessively high, though
q slight badness made it seem SO, and
the chin narrow, but square in its
form. His hair was thin in front and
dark brown, as was his beard, which
was quite long, but not very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste. His
mustacbe was heavy and rather long.
His eyes We're very large and Of a light
blue. His comp lexion was pale. As a
speaker his manner was at ollke incom-
parably dignified and graceful. His
posture and appearance in repose were
imposing, not only from their essential
grace and dignity, bnt from a sense Of
power they impressed upon the behold er.
spoke as if with little prepara tiion
and with that peculiar freshness which
belongs to extent oraneous speaking,
and the wonde rful comp ctness and art
of his argument were not felt until you
reflected upon it afterWard. He gesticu-
lated freely, equally well with both
arms. Nothing could be more beautiful
IL its way than was the sweep Of his
right hand, as it was raised to heaven
when ,s1 he spokesof the Deity; nothing
sweeter than the smile which att times
mantled his face. sBeyo nd a doubt he
was the greatest of orators thenliying. =,

Much in Little

plants will refuse them and seek in the
soil for something which the farmer has
not supplied. When the food is suitable
the plants make rapid growth and thrive,
but when they are sickly there is some
thing wrong with the food. Farmers can
learn how to feed their plants as well as
their animals, and have everything to gain
by endeavoring to secure more knowledge
in that direction.

One reason why the soil must be made
very fine is that small seeds cannot push
through when terminating, and such seeds
must be covered very lightly. Large seeds,
such as peas, beans and beets, may be
planted somewhat deep, but not if the soil
is too heavy. A light covering of fine soil
is to be prepared, but the ground must be
well prepared to insure success.

WHAT FARMERS OUGHT TO

New Varieties of ROSeS-Early Lambs
Clean Strawberries Other Valuable
Farm Notes For the Month
of March.

There are new varieties of roses brought
out every year, and while they are usually
an improvement on older kinds, yet there
are varieties that are harder than the
others, and that is an important matter to
consider in selecting rose bushes for the
future. Among the well-known varieties
the Jacquiminot, a red, is hardy, and so is
Paul Neyron, pink, which produces large
flowers. The Margaret Dickson is hardy
white rose, and the Harrison Yellow fine
yellow kind. The number of roses on the
plants, their shades or color, etc, govern
the selection also. 1t is the best for a
novice to permit the nurseryman to select
the hardy varieties where large and beau
tiful rose is also desired, as we'll as hardi-
ness of the plant.

Over 100000 sheep are being fed in
Montana, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho and Col
orado, and it is feared by farmers that
prices will be lowered, but the sheep raised
in those States will not seriously affect
prices for choice mutton. The mark cts
have been so long supplied with mutton of
inferior quality that anything above the
usual grade will command price of its
own.
