The following paper on Dry
Farming in Colorado was read be
fore the Cherry Creek Grange by
Il. Il. Parsons of Parker, Colorado:
A few years ago people used to
ask themselves il the agricultural
development OF Colorado is to be
limited by the supply Of water
available for irrigation purposes.
This question, like many others.
has solved itself. We see farmers
all over the hills and valleys rals-
ing crops without irrigation.
Some are doing we'll, some are
holding their own, and some, es-
pecially our German neighbors,
are making great success Of it.
| attribute the success of the Ger
mans largely to the fact that in the
old country the average plowing
is very much deeper than it's here.
Dry farming is entirely different
from the art of raising crops with
water, and must be pursued by en-
tirely different methods. We will
now touch on some of the points
which are most essential to success
in this line of farming. The first
of these is location. l believe
that very open, wind swept flats
and large bottoms should be avoid
ed, especially when sandy, for the
reason that bottom lands "bake"
more than rolling or hilly lands,
and consequently dry out faster.
lii choosing location, soil should
also be an important factor In the
case. A rich loan with an adobe
subsoil is about the best, and will
hold moisture much longer than
lighter soils every thing else being
equal. Also, the ordinary reddish
clay soil usually found on the
ridges is good enough for any pur-
pose: but avoid a sandy soil unless
extremely rich or with a pretty
solid bottom of adobe or clay or
clay gravel to check the sinking OF
the moisture. Next comes the
question OF plowing. All will
agree that a large sponge will re
ceive and hold more moisture than
small one. Therefore, let us
make our sponge rs deep as posi-
BILE by plowlng from eight inches,
at least, to Il foot in depth-the
deeper the better. The plow in
the morning should be.tollowed by
the harrow in the evening. This
breaks up the clods at once before
they have chance to bake IN the
sun, leaves the surface fine and
reduces the evaporating surface.
After the crops begin to grow a
crust should never be allowed to
form on the surface. All row
crops should be cultivated once, at
least. and all small grain we'll har-
rowed. If the plowing in the first
place is done properly and syste-
maticallv, not only the top soil,
but the subsoil will become moist
er and moister every year. This
moisture can be added to every
winter by the following plan:

CROSSED THE OCEAN 95O TIMES. Death of Mrs. Elijah Carson the Lucania's
 Regular BOarS1er.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Elijah Car son died Friday nighat at Anamsa, Ia, aged seventy-four Mrs. Carson had crossed the ocean 25o times and had never missed trip on the Lucania since that vessel was launched. ss
 For thirty years she had been trav- cling across the Atlantic. She is said to have been received on intimate terms by the Astors and Vanderbilts and other prominent families who had long been accustomed to meeting her on her trips across the sea.
 Mrs. Carson was the wife of Sam uel Carson of Belfast. After the death accompanied by her daughter, came to America to visit her brother, William D. Newell, a millionaire of Nashville
 This was Mrs. Carsor's first ocean trip. MT. Newell prevailed upon her to remain in America.
 MT Newell died in 1886 and left her a million dollars. This formed an ample fund to permit the indulgence of her desire to be on the water. Since 1886 her entire time had been spent on her voyages.
 Mrs Carson had the strongest af- lection for Captain Mckay and all the officers of the Lucania,, and remember ed them in her will. It is said Captain Mckay was bequeathed $50,000. About two years ago her son-in Jaw, Julius Roherbach of Chicago, by the advice of his wife, made an effort to restrain Mrs. Carson from taking any more trips across the ocean. MT. Roherbach went before a court and asked for the appointment of a guardian stating that Mrs. Carson had already spent $250,000 in her sea voyages. Mrs. Carson de- clare6 that her son-in-law interfered with her liberty, and she would cut him off without cent
 This alarmed MT. Roherbach and his wife and proceedings were dropped. On her next visit to Belfast Mrs. Car son placed on record a will in which she gave but $1,000 to her daughter. s25, 1000 each to her banker at Belfast and her agent in New York city, and the remainder of her fortune to the officers and crew of the Lucania.
 Mrs. Carson made her last voyage five weeks ago. On the trip out from Liverpool she was seized with pneunno- nia. She was brought to the west from New York, and her last day was spent at the home of her daughter.

NATIONS HONOR SACRIFICED.
Rev. Thomas Dixon on the New Arbitra-
 ton Treaty.

New York, Jan. 24-In sermon de- llvered to-day by Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., at the Academy of Music, this city, on the "Anglo-Amerlcan Arbitration Treaty." he said that there had never been less need for such treaty be- tween England and the United States than at the present time. He said that such a treaty should be founded upon national honor and the interests of humanity.
 ''The present treaty." said MT. Dixon, Is on it's face tainted. It was precipi- tated on the public and the senate by Olney, and somewhere beneath the sur- face it is tainted because of the diplo- mat who launched it and because Olney and the present administration ap- proves it. The fact that the treaty was negotiated by the present adminis- tration is prima face evidence that 1t sacrifices the nations honor and inter- est"
 MT. Dixon appealed to the United States senate to carefully consider 1t for at least six months. He condemned the foreign policy of the present ad- ministration.

fl very AhueHnIte sort Of Thing, Valued
 Anywhere from S5O,O0O to $5OO,OOO.
 St. Paul, Minn, Jan. 24.-According to decision rendered yesterday a mans homestead is a very indefinite sort of thing, valued anywhere from $5O,0OO to $500,OOO. A Chicago bank ask ed for a receiver for William Banhol- ger, the St. Paul brewer, on a note of $2O,0O0 1t had against the Old Seven Corners bank. which failed in 1893. Judge Bum denied the application and said:
 The cause presents in very forci- ble manner the injustice that may be worked by our homestead law. The defendant is allowed to hold as his homestead five acres of land in the city of St. Paul, of great value, occu- pied mot only by his dwelling house. but by his fathers and brewery and buildings connected with it, beer gar- den and a dancing parlor, and used not only for residence purposes, but for the purpose of carrying on a brew ing business.
 The statute and decisions of our su- preme court seem to me to absolutely protect the defendant in his enjoyment of the entire five acres, however he may elect to use his property''

NATHAN STEIN FELL DEAD.

Was Walking on Chapel Street at the
 Time.
 Nathan Stein, a grocer, about fifty nine years old, living at No. S15 Grand avenue, dropped dead last night about 12 o'clock in front of the Yale National bank at the corner of State and Chapel streets.
 Stein was taken suddenly i'll as he was returning from a call upon a rela- tive He attracted the attention of Pa trolman William c. Doherty who said to him: Are you i'll, old gentleman? Can I do anything for your"
 Stein did not seem to realize that the patrolman was speaking to him, and made no answer He appeared to be in great pain and kept both hands tightly clasped against his chest. He was grooming all the while and soon began tottering and staggering. Pa trolman Doherty followed Stein, and when he saw that the sick man was about to fall he rushed towards him, but not in time to save him from fall- lllS. TdlIOlilLdll JOIlll MOOIe, WHO udu also seen Stein staggering, went to his assistance
 Stein was beyond the need of medical assistance when the officers reached him. Although the hour was late and the streets almost deserted, a large crowd soon assembled to ascertain the cause of the excitement One of the crowd recognized the dead man a,s Na- than Stein, and so informed Medical Examiner White, who arrived in a few minutes after the death occurred. The examination made by Dr. White dis closed that Stein died of heart disease. The remains were removed to Lewis & Maycock's, and Stein's family were mo- tified of his death.
 MT. Stein leaves a widow and one daughter. He was a member of the Court street temple (Mishkan Israel congregation and of the Free Sons of Israel.

And as we move into this new world all things begin to change and take on a better look.
 Tt is @ great thing in the progress of the world to start questions. The world moves along the line of question, Here is something wrong; what can be done about 1t? Here is a great inn pediment; how can it be removed? Never mind about the answer. Start a real question and the answer will come sooner or later. When slavery became a question in this nation its doom was settled. The chief benefit of this treaty does not lie in what it will do for the two nations. That they would ever go to war is most improba- ble. In sense a. treaty is hardly need ed. Its value lies In the fact that 1t raises question in Europe-if the two strongest nations in the world have outgrown and discarded war, why not other nations? The question so raised and sustained by the civilization or these nations will press irresistably upon the already lintolerabie evils of less taxation, and pave way for them lO pass OIL lue StdSS dilI peColiiC e1 Pebi Y of the barbarism of the past.
 Tt will do even more by preparing the way in which other conflicts are to be settled, such as those between capital and labor, which are always threatening a resort to force. Start the fashion of arbitration, and it will spread throughout society. If na- ton refuses to fight, why should it's people fight? If it settles it's difficult ties by reason and not by force, why should not the conflict of elements within it settle their disputes in the same way?
 But the thought that most wins us to-day is that 1t is moral lift out of the present level. It serves to make this unintelligible world little clear CT It shows that the dreams of the good and wise of all ages were not dreams, but revelations of the purpose of God. It deepens our faith and hope in
 That God, which ever lives and loves, One God, one law, one element, And one far-off divine event,

 Mcclellan Mathewson to Address It.
 The good government club will hold meeting at an early date at which the chairman of the committee of thir- ty will be invited to give review of the proposed new charter. The meet ing will probably be held next week.
 A prominent member of the club was asked yesterday afternoon if any plan of action had been determined upon. The gentleman said that he knew of none, and thought that the members were of the opinion that it would be well to hear what the committee of thirty had to say in favor of the char ter which it has been at work on. There is one thing" continued the speaker, that I do know, and that is, we who are in favor of the new char ter must agree upon change and urge it's adoption if we want to get it through the general assembly,"

An Address on the Theme by Richard
 Watson Glider.
 There was a large gathering at the Graduates club on Saturday evening to listen to an address from MT. R. w. Glider, the editor of the Century.
 The address was on the subject of Public Opinion Present political conditions were described and criticis- ed. Tn referring to the senate he spoke in complimentary terms of the Connec- ticut senators, Messrs. Hawley and Platt.
 A reference to the pending treaty, which was received with great ap- plause by the large audience assem- bled, was to the following effect:
 "The newspapers of this very day tell us that the senate, by the mouths If some of it's leading members, resents the too pressing expression of favora- ble opinion in relation to a treaty now before it. It may be that this public opinion is too impatient, but this opin- ion, so widely, so spontaneously, so eagerly expressed, is nobly right. This great and significant treaty of peace, which ushers in new era of the worlds progress-this treaty that hon. ors all the people of our language, that honors the nation and the age-this treaty will be ratified.
 Were it possible that by the infiu- ence of a minority of the senate it should fail of adoption, no individual connected with such a failure could ever again in his lifetime have the op- portunity to commit so considerable a crime against the righteous opinion of the ration: against the very spirit of civilization: against humanity itself"
 After the delivery of the address a lively discussion followed, which was participated in by the Rev Dr. Smyth, John w. Alling, Professor Hadiey and others. D
