Peat BoT Pasture and Meadow.
From Farmers Review: The ulti-
ity and great value of peat bog in
a large pasture for cattle are not gen.
orally understood. 1 have noticed nu-
merous such bogs in my travels by
rail and wagon. Often they are sur
face ditched until a fall of feet to
the mile is obtained. Cattle will
tramp the ditch bottom in hot weather
to cool their feet and muddy their
tails to switch flies. They will so
tramp its bottom that the next strong
shower will carry OF the loosened soil
until hard-pan or hard rock is reached
Retramping will make pits in the
stream, which soon become little wa
terfalls and later large ones. until the
recoil of falling water undermines the
water course.
Bog pasture has much alluvial de-
posit among its peat, producing a
fodder that is astingent and that will
counteract any acrid plants that may
grow in other parts of the field. AS
meadow bog land is the most produc-
tive known to me. The hay on 1t Is
astfngent and absorbent and for
barn use where bran is fed plenti-
fully cannot be equaled for fbrous
mails To be profitable such hay must
be cut before it is done growing. 1t
will then be eaten clean. If allowed
to reach full maturity its value is
lessened. If it be cut in its most
vigorous growth, the roots will still
be acIlve and will soon cover the soil
again with sweet new grass, which
will catch the moisture that comes
up from below, keep the sun from
scorching the roots and make an after
math big enough to NOW.
When a young man on my fathere
farm, 1 was employed with a team to
draw clay from large cowyard,
which contained much latent clover
seed, and spread it thinly over peat
hospital" Here were kept such cows
of a nervous temperament as were
troubled with dysentery. When they
were considered cured of their trouble
and their usual flow of milk was re-
stored, they were returned to the
herd, clean, lively and with hair
glossy curled by COW licks- Farming
from similar sources. We have en-
larged our pastures with the above
results in hay and grass. In times of
drouth they are extra good, the bog
sponge supplying moisture all the
summer, if never allowed to be 3bare

shine dry the grass roots.-Richard

A very simple test, which will enable
one to distinguish a good proportion
of adulterated samples at once, includ-
ing many of those not detectable with
ammonia, is to take very small por-
ton of Paris green-what one could
easily pick up on the point of a PEN
knife-place this upon piece of glass
at an angle; jarring the lower edge
will cause the little pile of green to
move down the inclined surface, leay-
ing behind it a bright green track, If
the sample is pure; but in the case
of many. adulterated or impure sam
pies. the track would be white or pale
green : The glass test is particu-
larly useful in comparing afnumber of
samples. and after one has acquired
some experience it becomes quite re-
liable 1t does not enable one to de-
tect the recent forms of arsenic adul-
terations. and, like the ammonia test.
should never be considered as concIu-
sive evidence Of purity.

Crop Conditions.

Government crop reports state that
there have been heavy precipitations
of either rain or snow which have
furnished an abundance of moisture in
all parts of the United States save
central and western Texas, where rain
is much needed. These precipitations
coupled with cold weather have con-
siderably delayed spring work.
But little progress with corn plant
ing has been made since the first of
the month, except in the. extreme
southern districts, where it is nearing
completion in some sections. Slow
orally reported from the southern
states.
A general Improvement in the con-
dition of winter wheat is reported, ex-
cept in portions of Ohio, Illinois, Okla
homa, and Texas. where damage by
insects is more or less apparent, the
last named state reporting unfavorable
effects of drought On the Pacific
coast the outlook for winter wheat
continues promising, but the crop
needs rain over a large part of Cali
fornia. Some spring wheat has been
sown in portions of Iowa, Nebraska
and southern Minnesota, but none has
yet been sown in the Red River val
ley.
Oats seeding is well advanced as far
north as the Ohio valley, and some
seeding has been done in Nebraska
In the east gulf and south Atlantic
districts the outlook is promising, but
the crop is being injured by drought
and insects in Texas.
Reports of fruit prospects, are favor
able, except from California. where Sc
we're frosts have injured grapes and
other fruits in the northern and CEN
trail portions of the state

Paris green dissolves freely and
wholly in ammonia, becoming beau
tifu1 blue liquid; while a majority OF
the substances formerly used in adul-
terating Paris green are insoIuble.
This, therefore, is very ready means
of recognizing most of the crude forms
of adulteration. IL upon treatment
with ammonia any OF the material fails
to dissolve, the same is adulterated.
This test, however, is not conclusive,
since white arsenic and number OF
other substances used in adulterating
Paris green, especially in these later
years, are soluble in ammonia and
would escape detection il this method
alone were depended on Ammonia
then affords valid grounds for reject
ing a sample if any portion of it Is
insoluble; but other means must be
used to be sure of its purity, even il
apparently pure by this test.
As a general thing farmers do not
make enough use of clover about the
hen yard and nests and in the feeding
trouble of cutting dry clover for any
such purposes? Yet in nearly all
cases it is far ahead of chaff, even for
packing purposes. II cut fine it makes
a good center for the nests of laying
hens and still better center for the
nests of sitting hens. 1t is far prefer
able to whole straw in which the
young chicks may become entangled.
Some egg sellers use cut clover for
packing eggs that are to go by express
using the cut clover in the part of the
package containing the eggs and using
excelsior only ON the outside to sep
arate the eggs from the outside Of tne
packages. Some chicken raisers use
cut clover on the floor of the brooder
and say 1t Ii superior to sand or dirt

RESEMBLE GYPsIES.
PECULIAR CLASSES OF PEOPLE
FOUND IN COLORADO.

Secluded Mountain Communities Content
to Stay at Home.-But the Circus Never
Fails to Draw Them Out.-Cook stove
Sold to Buy Circus Tickets.-Young
People who Have Hardly Been inside
A House.
Prot. l. G. Carpenter, Of the Colorado
Agricultural College, is quoted by a
Denver paper as saying that Colorado
seems to have developed two classes Of
people which are peculiar to this part
of tue country and which bear some
resemblance to the clans of the old
countries and to the gypsies.
One of these classes lives in accessa-
BILE districts. but in secluded commune
ties which are miniature worlds in
themselves. Throughout the state there
are numerous little valleys shut off to
an extent by natural formations from
the rest of the world and In which a
community lives from year to year con-
tent with, existence in their little ham
let. They are as distant from the rest
of the world as the mountaineers OF
Kentucky or Tennessee. But on n
point are they vulnerable. The circus
is the magnet which draws them from
their %seclusiOn. In some manner h
advent of the circus reaches them with
the utmost accuracy and from the Sc
clusion the inhabitants of these little
wales merge form VI place their coin
at the altar of the circus man. The de-
sire of these people to witness the cir
Gus is a sort Of mania, and one family
which attends the circuses at Fort Col
Inns regularly every year has been
known to dispose of the family cook
stove in order to ecu funds with
which to attend the tented show.
The other class is a nomadic lot Of
people who seem to be averse to living
in houses. Possibly their inclination
would lead them to live out of doors all
the time with no covering over them
but the blue dome of the sky, but some
concessions are made by them and
they live in tents. They are to be
found living on the outskirts of all of
the towns throughout the northern
part of the state. They are honest
working people, who eat well and sleep
well, but who see not the inside of a
house from one end of the year to the
other. When one town tires they pull
out to another. Many of the young
people in these classes have never in
their entire existence more than seen
the inside of a house and are firmly of
the opinion that a house with the cares
it devolves on the housewife is a nui-
sance and not by any means to be COM
pared with the freedom of life in a
tent. The people are hardy, however,
and it will be interesting to notice the
kind of people they develop in a few
generations Of this sort of life. Many
of them find employment part of the
year in the potato fields of the Greeley
district, whole families being employed
picking up the potatoes after they are
rooted out of the ground. The money
they earn is frugally kept, and often a
family earns enough during the potato
season to keep them in afiiuence, ac-
cording to their desires, until the next
season arrives.
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1901-11-21

The Illinois Central railroad by In
cressing the pay of its employees $780,
600 a year, after several conferences at
which the financial status of the com
pany and the necessities Of the
employees were dispassionately con-
sidered by both sides, has done
the proper thing. This act emphasizes
the prosperity Of a great corporation
and its purpose to do justice to those
who devote their laboring hours to its
interests.
Corporations, as a rule, are con-
sidered hard-minded, minus a soul,
etc, aud not without good reason.
But the Illinois Central is a refreshing
example of the kind that means to
deal justly with all-even those who
make a livelihood out of its existence,
n who are very generally the last
to be included in its awards. The in
crease voted the men would go a long
ways towards increasing the dividend
the road pays, but the directors, rep
r~esenting the stockholders, put the
w~ell-being of the employees above their
enrichment and acted accordingly.
1t is gratifying to record this ap-
probation of labor by capital. It is
seldom done, but we hope that the ad-
mirable example set by the Illinois
Central will find many imitators
and that the recognition Of the trying
work of engineer. fireman, conductor.
brakeman and yardman by other roads
will find form hereafter through an in
crease in pay. 1t is at once the most
substantial and sensible way to COM
pliment those who work hard and un-

failed to discover the criminal.
A few weeks later after Miss Haw-
kins' return to her home she ate an
apple and was taken suddenly sick.
Only prompt medical aid saved her
life, as the apple had been poisoned
By strychnine.
The next assault upon her was made
early in the summer. One evening she
was holding a lantern for her father
in the back yard when a quantity of
vitriol was thrown in her face. In the
excitement, the miscreant escaped and
no trace of him was found.
The last attempt upon her life was
made last week. She was eating sup
per with the rest of her family and
while p%artaking Of sliced peaches she
noticed a peculiar taste. Her suspi-
cions and those of the family were at
once aroused and investigation re.
vealed that the peaches had been dosed
with laudanum. Medical aid was at
once summoned and her life was once
more saved. Her condition is still
serious as this latest attempt on her
life has completely shattered her
nerves.
Thorough investigation Of the mat
ter is being made, but neither she nor
her family can throw any light upon
