SOUTHERN UTE RESERVATION
Indian Lands In Colorado Opened to
Settlers.

Indian Lands in Colorado Opened to
Settlers.
The opening of the Southern Ute
Indian Reservation has at last been
accomplished. This vast area of arabic
lands, fifteen by sixty miles in extent,
lies on either side of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, South and East OF
Durango. Under the law, the Ute In
dians are entitled to 374 allotments,
leaving about 636, 900 acres subject to
entry under the desert homestead, tim
Der and townsite laws and the laws
governing the disposal Of coal, min
eral, stone and timber lands, and as
the Indians may lease their allotments,
intelligent white men will soon con-
troll many OF them at reasonable rent
ais The lands embrace both valley
and mesa, or uplands, but the supply
of water for irrigation is many times
the amount required, making the lands
suitable for grain and grasses, veg
etables. alfalfa and fruit trees. Clover
often yields three and one-han tons
per acre. The stock industry gives
promise Of almost unlimited growth
The lands allotted to the Indians ag-
gregate $4,000 acres and are generally
in compact form. They may be leased
for three years for agricultural pur-
poses and ten years for mining and
grazing lands. These leased lands are
exempt from taxation and free from
cost of water charges as the Indians
own the canals and bitches. The rental
is generally a small amount in cash
and from one-third to one-fourth OF
the crops. The Indians may be hired
to work at low wages. This money and
the $4,000 which Is to be paid to the
Indians annually by the government
forever" means plenty Of the circu-
lating medium in the locality at all
times. Homestead settlers are required
to pay not less than $1.25 per acre,
fifty cents of which, per acre, shall be
paid at the time of filing. This pro-
vision shuts out the professional boom
er and invites men of thrift and en-
ergy and industry. These will be the
last of the public domain entries in
Colorado. 1t is the last chance for
cheap, fertile and enviable homes. The
land offices are at Durango, Colo, the
terminus of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. The traveller from the mid
die West should take the Missouri Pa
cific System to Pueblo where he will be
taken by the Denver & Rio Grande
which is the only line reaching the
Ute Indian Reservation. 1t traverses
for 60 miles the most desirable por-
lions of the lands subject to entry.

TIMING A TRAIN.
How to Tell the Rate OF Speed WHO,
I;unning.


Hunning.
Not one person in hundred VIII
travels has any idea of the speed Of
train, and even a large percentage OF
the regular trainmen cannot tell witt
any degree of accuracy. Engineers use
their ing-wheel as a gauge. Thy
know, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
its circumference, and by counting its
revolutions within a certain time can
tell very accurately the speed at whicA
they are running. A favorite method
of timing among passengers is to count
the telegraph poles. As a rule there
poles are planted thirty to the mile,
but in prairie countries, where only 2
single wire is used, the number di
will not always work. The most a
curate method, and the most in use by
experienced railroad men is to count
the number of rail joints the train
passes over in twenty seconds. The
rails on nearly all roads are thirty feet
in length, and the number passed over
in twenty seconds is the speed per
hour a train is running For instance,
if a passenger can count thirty clicks
on a rail joint in twenty seconds. the
train is running at a speed of thirty
miles an hour. Actually this methcd
falls little short, as in the exampe
given above, the speed would be near
er thirtyone than thirty miles, but il
is near enough for all practical pur.
poses.

The cattle fever Is all over this west
ern country, writes a Kanas CORE
spondent of the st. Louis GIobe-Demo-
crat. 1t is no wonder. Where one
man made money on a wheat crop last
year ten farmers increased their bank
accounts with profits on cattle. Here
is Diamond valley, 100 miles and more
from Kansas City. Yet for three years
corn has brought Kansas City prices
at the farmers cribs. Cattle from the
west. southwest and northwest come
into this region in a never ending
stream. They range in age from calves
to 3-year-olds. They eat the blue stem
of the prairies in the summer and con-
sumo the corn, the millet, the cane and
the alfalfa in the winter. They come
in all kinds of conditions. Here they
are made ready for the market. 1t
may be three months or it may be three
years before the animal from the
ranges leaves the pastures and feed
lots of the farmers for the market.
But this is the half way place between
the range and the market. In that
capacity it is fulfilling a present des-
tiny. At the same time it is making
more money for the farmers than any
single crop they raise.

Few growers of berries are aware of
the Importance of using only select
plants to obtain the best results in
raising a fine quality and large guam
tity of fine fruit, writes H. Gugal in
Colman's Rural World. / think there
are few growers of berries but what
will admit that the best markets are
easily glutted with inferior fruit; while
there never yet was a market over
supplied with choice fruit. In order
to avoid overstocking or Cutting the
markets, during the berry season, we
must conf1ne ourselves to smaller acre
age, and a better quality of fruit, espe-
cially when it can be done at a very
little extra cost.
One acre well prepared and we'll
planted with select plants, and we'll
cultivated during the growing season,
will produce al much fruit and of finer
quality, as four or five acres in the old
way Of full-matted rows and alley
plants. Then, when it to pick
ing, they can be found without using
spectacles-every berry will be a ber-
ry, and no make believes. In order
to grow fine berries, a liberal applica-
ton of fertilizer is necessary to pro-
duce the best results, as fertilizer-es-
pecially barn-yard manure-improves
both quality and quantity. In order to
grow fine berries 1t Is necessary to be-
gin the preparation of the soil the year
before. l plow under a good clover
sod, upon which has been broadcasted
barnyard manure at the rate of at least
twenty-five loads to the acre. Pulver-
ize we'll and plant to potatoes, culti-
vate thoroughly, and allow no weeds
to ripen seed. Then, when the pota-
toes arc dry, SOW to rye, If possible.
During the winter give another ap-
plication of manure, and about March
18th turn rye under and manure. Fol
low turn pillow with subsoiler wherever
possible CT necessary; then roll land,
followed by a good harrow, and If ne

The land should then be in a fine
condition to receive plants, but under
no circumstances should the ground be
worked while we or sticky. AS to va
~rieties, the finest that has been grown
successfully in your vicinity, should be
selected. For hill system set plants
fifteen inches in row, and from twenty

inches between rows.

Soluble Salts in A,kal, Soils.

o~
The electrical method of salt deter
mination in soils has been used in the
exploration and investigation of the
alkal1 soils of the Yellowstone Valley
made by the department of agricul-
ture. An examination was first made
OF the general conditions in the valley
n then a very minute study of a sec
tion OF land which was just being
ruined by the rise of alkali. This ex-
animation amounted to an under
ground survey of the field, and maps
nave been made showing the distribu-
ton of alkall at different depths. A
great number of borings were made to
a depth of 10 or 16 feet, and salt de-
examinations were made in every 3
ihcnes or each foot in depth. Accurate
maps nave been made showing the
amount and distribution of the alkali
at several of these depths. 1t was
found that in the original prairie soil
the ditch there is not sufficient
aiKal1 to be injurious to vegetation.
n amount of alkali was greater in
the lower depths of the subsoil. AS
q rule, water is used in excess or all
OF these lands under irrigation, and
to such an extent that 1t accumulates
In the subsoil. When the depth to
standing water is not more than 2
feet from the surface, alfalfa turns
yellow and dies out. In all cases the
nrst injury was from the accumulation
or water from excessive applications
Through irrigation. Where this water
remains for some time in the subsoil
the alkali teaches down through seep-
age from higher lands, and is brought
up from the subsoil and accumulates
at the surface in quantities sufficient
to prevent the growth of cultivated
plants. This underground survey. of
the alkali lands has given the most
important information in regard to
amount and distribution of the soluble
salts and the way in which they &C
cumulate in certain localities through
ov~erirrigation.

Bees should remain undisturbed
throughout the entire winter, except
that we may in safety open the hives
and examine them during a warm day
when the bees are out on the wing
flying, but even on such occasions the
weather must of necessity be very
warm and fine, writes A. H. Duff in
Journal of Agriculture. Bees are very
easily injured by being aroused In any
way during cold weather, and on this
account they should be provided with
good protection so as to exclude stock
OF n kind from wandering neal the
nlVes. For this reason, hives should
not be set up on high benches, nor
placed against fences or trees. The
proper place to locate hives of bees
the having buards-is directly
on the ground, and each sitting on its
own bottom and not in any way con-
nected with any other hive.
snow about the bee hives Is a good
projection to the bees In very cold
weather, and the more snow the better
II is, out many people make a grave
mistake by removing the snow, think
ing the bees will ~suffocate for air.
lhey thus do the bees an almost irrep-
arabic injury; not only depriving
them OF good protection, but disturb
ing them and arousing them to activ-
lty at a time they should be the most
quiet. Bee hives may be totally COW
ered with deep snow drifts without do
ing the least injury to the bees, but
on the nOnfrQry ~ oefarda tha~o kha
best OF protection during the most Sc
we're weather.
PERSONS who are not we'll informed
in bee culture frequently make a mis-
take by moving bees during the winter
from one locality to another. They
may perhaps purchase bees of their
neighbor during the summer and defer
moving them until winter. The prop
er lime to move or ship bees Is at any
time during the year except in winter,
Tor the cause given above. The ques-
tlon may be asked, why thus disturb
ing bees during winter Is injurious to
them. 1t is so from the fact that
"neh bees are aroused to activity in
colo weather they will partake of food
heavily on account of 1t, and If the
weather is such as to keep them con-
hned any length thereafter, they will
become affected with ~dysentery from
connnement in this condition, and
only a timely flight will relieve them.
Bees may thus be made to consume
more lnan double the amount of stores
they would otherwise do with proper
treatment in this respect.
