How Do You Plant
Your Flower Seeds?

When talking with Mr.. Root, the
manager of Barteldes s. Co.'S seed
house, sew eral ideas were advanced
concerning seed planting, especi tally
sweet peas. This firm having dis.
posed of over one ton of seed this
season, enables them to know best
methods of planting. Sweet peas
reach greatest perfection in our
climate, also do many other flo wers,
among them nasturtium, the pansy,
etc. 1t is not deepest planting that
gives the best results. Rows run
nlng north and south produce most
blooms. Dig trenches eight inches
deep, six inches wide, unite with the
soil well rotted stable manure,
scatter seed thickly, cover two inches
with pulverized soil, and as fast as
growth appears draw more soil
around them, SO that eventually the
roots are six inches underground.
having a slight indentation at surface,
so that water will settle around the
roots. Moisture, with sunshine,
helps much to make blooms. Let
plants trail on wire netting, or use
tree limbs with small branches left
Oh, set firmly in the ground.
Nasturtuims are the next popular
flowers. The tall varieties trail over
fences and artors nicely. Mr.. Root
says that after this storm is the time
to plant. Place the seed in rows,
about one inch deep, in rich soil. 1t
is mistaken idea that methods OF
culture are different in Colorado
than IN the East. The same reason-
able consideration for natures wants
are applicable in Colorado.

Big Sandy went on a Tear,
Covering the Entire

The melting snow, in addition TO
the recent rains, caused the Bic

consequence it broke through the
channel leading to the Lincoln county
reservoir breaking the dam and cover.
ing the valley with a broad expanse
of water and doing serious damage
to the alfalfa crop. The reservoir
cost 5000 originally and to repair
it would necessitate an outlay of
more than that amount, AS the river has
cut out new channel, which passes
directly through the lake, instead Of
around it, as formerly.
The home of W. s. Persing was
completely surrounded by water and
was in danger OF being submerged
for some time. Mr. Persing's farm
has been improved to the extent of
s25, 900 and suffered serious damage.
The flood spread over the valley
and thus lost much of its velocity.
it did more damage to
county bridges than any other flood
in twenty-five years.

City, Neb., nephew OF John
Dawson came last week on visit
and to take in the beautiful
scenery of Colorado.
Friday closed one of the most
successful school years in the
history of Eastonville. 1t was
marked by the advancement of
pupils in their studies. They
were taught to think for themselves
and not depend upon the teacher
to do their work.
The examination and grades
she,r that their work was thorough
nnd compiete. The pupils and
patrons who are in favor of good
behavior and good sound study
are more than well pleased with
the efficient work Of Prof. Close
and Miss Manville and VIC are
loath TO part with them. The
school board would do well to se-
cure the services of Prof. Close
aad Miss Manville for another
wear.

., the snow, the beautiful snow,
which we plow to our waist band
wherever we go, north, south east
or west, it is ever the same, a
horse sinks down in it almost to
his mane. From Tanners to
Samplers, frem Cozart's to Votes,
you'll scarcely find pasture fit even
for goats. Though the blue over
head--one day in a week-and
the SHOWS pure white blanket
that's under our feet, with the
green of the pines and the willow
fringed rill, make our Basin a
beauty in spite of its chill.
Yet Rubeck is wrathy. His
cave has caved in, for taters are
damaged when long in the swim.
Dan Savage, corralled by the
snow in his lair, no more raids

Though Latimer bold on candy
pull bent, but lately invaded the
Savage's tent and had good time
much assisted by Jay, who camps
in pine grove just over the way,
and dispenses justice, injustice,

CALLS A HALT.
Prom the Range Ledger.

Prom the Range Ledger.
Wonder why it is that after
every heavy storm and before suf
ficient time has elapsed to hear
from the ranchmen, that the Dem
yer newspapers come out with
startling headlines announcing
great and heavy losses of live
stock The late storm was prob
ably the most severe in the dis
trict east Of the mountains in Col
orado. We have heard from
number of ranchmen in this section
and in no case, with one exception,
were the losses more than nominal.
The city folks and newspapers
seem to believe that live stock on
the range have no protection and
no one to look after them, while
really the opposite is the real state
of affairs. The city folks should
remember that the stockman's
herds are his living maker, and
that he will oftentimes expose him.
self to great hsrdships to protect
his stock rather than sec them suf-
fer. When calves and yearlings
and all classes of cattle are worth
upwards from SIS "a head, ii is
not likely the owner is going to
sit idly by and knowingly let such
valuable animals suffer. The same
might be said Of sheepmen. If
the city folks would be us careful
in raising their children, as the
stockman is of his stock their
would be fewer needs for reform
schools, doctors, etc.

know it means good crops.

LAST FARMERS MEETING.
Work of the State Board of Agriculture
Closed For the Winter.

Hon c. j. Bell. secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, was in this city
yesterday. He has just returned from
Castleton, where the last farmers meeting
of the season was held Mr.. Bell is very
much pleased with the work accomplish
ed at the meetings this year and hopes
for a continuation of interest next seat
son. About 40 meetings have been held
this year in different localities, which is
about ten moro than were held last year.
The farmers seem to be awakening to the
fact that in order TO make success Of
their business they must adopt scientific
methods and the farmers meetings held
by the board are just the thing needed for
their education. There has been a larg-
CT attendance this year than ever before
and the interest has been very marked.
The speakers have been of the highest
order and specialists in every department
of farming have delivered addresses,
many of them coming from distance
for the purpose. The farmers have been
talked to in a practical and interesting
way and the ideas advanced have been
well proven by practical examples. The
meetings will be continued next year and
win be more interesting than the ones
held this year. if possible.
Mr. Bell has made plans to tap twenty
seven hundred maple trees this season.
