FARMING MATTERS.
TWENTY ACRE FARMS.
Editor Pabor Thinks They Would Be
Profitable In Western Colorado.


Recently n writer in the Priar1e
Farmer discoursed about small farms
and their value. The editor has always
held to the opinion that the day would
come when Grand Valley would be
noted less for its large areas in grain
and alfalfa than for its orchards and
garden lands. The question that hrst
naturally arises is, as the Irnlr1e
Farmer says, How can n small farm
be made to give h greatest returns!
In n few words, will it pay? 1t must
be n crop, fruit or truck farm, with It's
alfalfa patch, of course, If in u val
ley; or, indeed. anywhere in Colorado.
The house, barn. wagon and tool shed,
poultry house, can he as large Ok small
as the purse of the settler will permit.
One or two horses, n or two cows
both of good breed as possible-a rev
hogs and rs many fowls as can be
carefully looked after. Pure-bred, If
you please, but get good layers for
eggs and good table fowls for the mar
ket. Fruits of all kinds, especially the
small fruits, sue as strawberries,
raspberries, blackbcrries. c%urrants,
gOoseberries, both for use on the table
and for the market. With us the noun
tain town will always demand all that
we can likely raise. Then there should
he n small vineyard so that grapes of
the choice California variety can he al
ways in evidence for dessert use, for
preserving, for wine. A good big patch
of rhubarb, n similar n of celery and
mt least n half acre in root crops for
home use; such as parsnips, carrots,
cabbage, squash, etc. To these various
things give up ten acres of land, and
on the remaining ten. If new land, set
out fruit trees and grow sugar beets
between for the first five years or
more. Grow apples il soil is heavy,
and apricots and peaches If a warm
sandy loan; of course n few plums,
prunes, cherries. mulberries, will find
their place therein; don't forget the
mulberries, for you will find there are
birds, lots of them, about cherry time.
Feed them ON mulbcrries.
Now let us see how these things look,
tabulated, as to space on a t~wenty-acre
farm:
House and surroundings, including
poultry yard, One acre; vineyard, one
half acre; small fruit, two acres: pota-
toes, II acre; alfalfa, two acres; root
crops, One-half acre; corn, one acre;
oats, two acres-1O acres: orchard of
o trees, 10 acres; in all twenty acres.
The beet area in orchard would he
about eight acres, worth at least $500
each year.
Should not a man, giving all his
time to intense culture, making every
foot of ground do its duty and giving
careful attention to his growing crops,

II nest-egg to lay aside, from n twenty
acre trace in western ColoradO?-West-

As a system of fire insurance has noc

PROGRESS MADE IN CUBA.

of Present Conditions.

of Present Conditions.
Chicago, Aug. 30.-Major S. ID. Stur-
gis, who has been on General Fitz-
hugh Lees staff in Cuba, and who also
served in the Philippines, was in Chi
cage yesterday on his way to Manila,
where he has been ordered. He re-
ported to General NJ. v. Sheridan and
will leave for the Philippines in about
two weeks. Discussing the conditions
in Cuba, Major Sturgis said:
1.-The hardest part of the work of re-
construction in the Cuban provinces
has beer lone and the conditions are
all that could be expected considering
the length of time the Americans have
been in command. The giving away
of rations has been stopped. OF course
there is still much poverty, but there
Is no distress. The government has
been able to provide work for all who
wanted II at from - cents to 81 n
day, and the natives for the most part
have taken readily 10 work.. Some of
them persist in resting after they have
worked two or three days, but the
number of these Is small, considering
the fact the Cubans had never been
taught to work. Many of the alcaldes
themselves perform manual labor.
planting the devastated lands Is
gong on TiIlulN, anu SIN HloHlns from
now the island should be exceedingly
prosperous. Much of the sugar land is
being planted in tobacco. because the
cane could not have been crushed,
owing TO the destruction of the sugar
houses during the war. The receipts
of the insular government are in eX-
cess of tie expenses, and the surplus
is being used in the improvement of
the public schools and other public in
situations. Thu police system has been
brought to a high degree of efficiency
for rural police, and the hospital sys-
:em is receiving much attention. There
seems to he nothing but prosperity
ahead for the island"

PLAN TO PREVENT MALARIA.
Eucalyptus Trees May BE Used In Cuba to
Abolish the DiRease.

Owing to frequent recommendations
TO Governor General Brooke of the Gu
c~alyptus tree as an anti-malarial agent.
some Investigations into the subject
have been carried on under his orders.
Attention has been called to the sue
cess obtained in c%ultivating the tree in
the vast Campagna di ROMA. Italy.
where eucalyptus is now recognized AS
rendering the whole territory much
less unhealthful. The City of Mexico
Is cited as another instance where
marshy places have been rendered
heaIthful by the presence of these
trees. One recommendation says that
the camp of the British troops In ia
maica. which was formerly malarial,
has been planted with eucalyptus, the
outcome already being n steady disap-
pearance of mnrshy spots. The tree,
which absorbs the moisture, grows
very rapidly. often ten feet in a year.
The wood Is valuable II honey bees
seek the flowers. The honey. ii is said,
contains important medicinal proper
ties.
The tree department mt Santiago de
Cuba. not knowing of the investiga-
tions i'm ogre under General
Brooke's direction, recently made n

tus slips. the requisition being strong
