Rich sulphur Misses.

About tw,nty miles above
Creede there is a sulphur mine
which WAS lately sold to com
pany known as the American Sui
.phur Refining company for some
S20,0 600. Attorney Moses, of
Creole WAS employed to look up
the title aud. 80 the story goes,
discovered the property was on
school lands, whereupon he-with-
drew from the employ of the com
paIy and soon thereafter, one
David Brennan and others secured
lease of the same from the State
Land board.
A petition was circulated nj
Creole setting forth that there
was some FRAUD practiced upon ,lr
state aud asked that the lease to
Brennan he set aside.
The following report appeared
in the Denver Republican Tues

POPULAR SOlLlNG CROPS.

pea Far and Away In the Lead.
There has seldom IL ever been such a
general and widespread interest mani
fest in regard to soling crops as there
Is this spring among all classes Of
farmers in all parts of the land, and in
this the Canada field pea and the south
ern cowpea seem to be far and away in
the lead. The shortage in the hay crop
for number of years has led many
farmers to consider the practicability
of making use of one or more of these
rapid growing legumes as dry hay for
use during the winter months as a sub
stitute for the regular roughage of the
farm, says an Ohio Farmer writer, who
gives the following information:
The question most generally asked Is
in regard to the particular kind of pea
best adapted to the latitude on which
the farmer Is located. This relates
principally to the two main varieties or
types, the Canada field pea and the
cowpea. AS matter of fact, they can
not be regarded as of the same type or
even family except in this respect, that
they are both of them leguminous
plants, for the Canada field pea is pea
proper and Of the hardest variety Of
that particular family, while the cow
pea is not a pea at all, but bean Of
the most radical type of tropical origin
and in many ways even more sensitive
to frost and the like than any of the
garden beans, even the more delicate
of the wax varieties.
However, 1t is thought that careful
and intelligent selection may so accli-
Matte the cowpea as to make it prof
table crop much farther north than its
natural home. Until this end is at
tanned thehorthern farmer will contin-
ue to use the Canada field pea as the
more profitable crop. But the cowpea
Tor beam has lately been grown much
north of the line generally accepted as
the limit of its successful culture.
The proper home of the Canada field
pea is from SO degrees 30 minutes to 43
degrees 10 minutes of latitude and
from longitude IS degrees to IS de-
miles north and south and 800 miles
east and west or about 5000 square
miles. There Is no definite dividing
line where the Canada field pea should
leave off, and the cowpea begin. The
individual grower located near that
line should make limited and expert
mental sowing of both crops to begin
with. If a crop season of unusual
drought should occur, he will find that
I
and the cowpea very little. If the sea-
son should be wet, with cool nights, or
many damp, chilly days, the Canada
pea will thrive best, while the cowpea
may be a partial failure.

something thick enough to be durable
under great stress and so that dust will
not penetrate 1t. Khaki would be good
if it were not so dear.
1t requires two yards of denim for
either of the funny little overalls
shown in the illustration. One takes
up on the shoulders, and the other is
long. They are for boys or girls, but
those for girls might be made q little
wider. The one for the smaller child
has the front gathered at a yoke, and
the legs are made very wide and are
buttoned at the back like the panties,
and are made quite full to allow for
the skirt of the dress worn beneath.
The other pair is cut to reach the
ground and hold up by means of straps
over the shoulders.
At the beach it Is the custom to let
the children run about barefooted and
is not well to let them go without shoes
of some kind, on account of the sharp
shells.
The two sailor shaped bathing suits
are cut all in one piece so far as the
waist and pants are concerned, and
many bright mothers take the old
pantaloons which are past wearing by
the men of the house and cut them into
the right shape. An old pair will
always have at least three-QuarterS of
good material, and they are just wide
enough. To make such a suit, sew the
leg part up and then sew the two
pieces together from the seat to the
neck in the back and to the opening for
the head in front. Bind the bottoms
and sew a strong elastic under the bot
tom about an inch above, so that it will
form little ruffle. If cloth is scarce,
it is not necessary to make sleeves. A
sailor collar may or may not be added.
The suit for the girl differs in no way
save that it may be made out of an
old dress skirt of almost any kind or
color 1t will get just as hard usage.
The tiny man has a regular bathing
dress made out of his big brothers old
sweater, washed and with a little red
thread run in along the edges of the
sleeves and legs.
For children who are to go to the
mountains or to the old farm the over
alls for the boys are among the neces-
stiles. For the girls, even those up to
10 years old, there are special suits,
consisting of full Turkish trousers and
a blouse waist The trousers are cut
like any pair of other drawers as to the
upper part, and the legs are wider and
reach almost to the ankles. The hem
is then sewed in, and an elastic Is run
in and fastened so that it will hold

ing a government of their own, only to
have the United States assume written
and perhaps offensive protectorate or
dictatorship over it, AS to the immoral
ity of this action by the United States,
after its lofty prOtestations, this is not
the place to speak, further than to say
that congress has thus altered the whole
policy Of this government, practically
without debate.
This sudden action is the first step to-
ward free trade with Cuba. The next
step will be an attempted reduction (at
the next session ofcongress in December
of % to 80 per cent. in duties Of Cuban
products imported into the United States.
The second step may be taken within a
twelve month. In anticipation thereof
sugar trust shares have already advanced
$25, and if this policy succeeds, will
treble in value. But reduced duties on
tropical products will close up every
cigar factory any every leaf tobacco farm
In the United States. 1t will annihilate
the domestic beet sugar industry that
otherwise promises millions to our do
nestle farmers. 1t will encourage dis
artrous competition with the fruit, veg.
etable and trucking industries of a con-
tinent. Rice and even cotton will be
affected.
Our deliberate judgement is that no
greater danger ever confronted domestic
agriculture and labor than the policy
toward the tropics now unhappily inau-
gurated. The American farmer will not
submit to it.-New England Farmer.

A KANSAS PIGPEN.

in that line: I'VE have tried everything,
from tight barn with little window
in the south side and stove in the
north side through 'wigwams' and open
shed to a bunch Of grass in the field.
AS to the merits of the pen shown, the
most important is the large hinged door
on the south side that admits sun to
the whole Of the pen and keeps 1t sweet
and warm. We never have wet nor i'll
smelling pens. Have the roof slantlng
at least 45 degrees. This makes the
north side so high that the north winds
do not blow in the pens when doors are
open. Then, again, when the roof Is
high at the center you can get into the
pen without humping your head. A
farmer gets enough bumps in life with
out going to pigpen for them. The
figure will show how the pens are con-
structed. Twelve foot roofing boards
are cut so that AZ feet are on the south
side and IN on the north; width Of
pens, 8 feet; height on sides. 80 inches,
and each sow has seven feet in length.
Cost Of materials is about So per pen.
We raised $50 pigs with six pens last
spring. At a month old we put the lit
tiers in open sheds. We found 1t did
not pay, so have built six more pens"

them at the knees. Pockets are just
as good for girls to have as boys.
For a girl Of 10 it will require three
quarters of a yard of double width
goods or one and a half OF single to
make these knickerbockers.
The blouse is the old style come to
life again. This has really no shape
TO it, only just enough to bring it to fit
around the neck. The sleeves are rath-
er narrow bishop shape and have cuffs.
If a sailor collar seems too much trou-
BILE for blouse intended only for rough
wear, it may be finished off at the neck
with band and buttoned down the
front a pocket should be set on the
outside of this at the left side. At the
bottom this blouse is hemmed with
rather wide hem and an elastic or
tape run in to hold it snug. The blouse
should be six inches longer than the
waist line, so that when it is fastened
it falls over and hides the top Of the
knickerbockers. OLIVE HARPER.

PENNSYLVANIA ROADS. -,
Keystone State Highways Contrast
ed with New Jcrney,s.


While Pennsylvania is talking about
improved roads New Jersey is building
them, says the Philadelphia Press.
The very able state road commission
appointed under an act of the last
legislature of this state reports that
Pennsylvania is behind other states in
road legislation. That was well known
before the commission discovered 1t,
but the road legislation is far better
than the roads. The latter are print
tive, and, except where private or ex-
ceptional local enterprise has taken
their improvement in hand, the coun-
try roads of Pennsylvania alternate
between extreme and heavy muddi-
ness and extreme and deep business.
New Jersey, with less natural advan-
tages for good roadmaking than Penn
sylvania, Is getting her highways in
prime condition. The seventh annual
report of the New Jersey commissioner
of public roads contains q map of the
state with 532 miles of improved coun-
try roads traced in red lines. 1t makes

A Notion Worth Attention.

Prevention of oat smut by hot air
treatment Of the seed is a new idea
advanced by the Oregon station. Seed
was heated in laboratory hot air ster-
ilizer. 1t was found that exposure to
heat In wide range from 100 degrees
to 200 degrees F. for ten minutes did
not affect termination. 1t is suggested
that hop and fruit driers could be used
for this purpose. 1t does away with
all the apparatus needed In the hot wa
ter and chemical solution treatment
and obviates trouble of drying the seed
and the danger Of injury to the seed
through termination, mold or decay
which may occur with the wet method.
In one instance seed 80 treated pro-
duced but single head affected with
smut, and this might have come from
one kernel Of accidentally untreated
seed.
