The traveller who visits Colorado for tho
first time Is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords In agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed In the minds OF
strangers, crowding out oil knowledge Of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
IL ever given to the 2,00e miles of irrisS
cation canals that have been constructed,
and the 1000, 900 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, ous
out Of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty one special premiums
wore awarded, covering oil kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given IL alone, the largest number
received by any one state In the Union.
The fruit industry has reached a, 900, 900
year and is yet In Its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
oral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states In the Union In the output Of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
fusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled THE
Fertile Lands Of Colorado" has just boon

To cut an apple into two or more
pieces without also dividing the skin

ease anybody following the directions

perhaps the best. as It is not SO liable
TO break. Begin at the stem and take
q long stitch under the skin Of the

that the point OF the needle does not
readily emerge. Take another stitch

around the apple. exactly as you would

ON the skin, and without breaking II

needle, which are quite invisible. By
repeating the performance different
parts Of the apple It may be cut into

peeled will fall into these sections.

Irishmen and Nelly TO the little sta

II was by short cut. rough and
dangerous, that Nelly made up her
mind to lead her followers. 1t was
one by which John Conover used TO
secretly transport his gold. Several
times she had tramped with him up
and down the pass. She calculated
that she could arrive an hour or two

Toward dawn the party were In

with shaking at the hut near the
