Dairying stands third In Importance
among the several branches Of sgricul-
ture In Colorado. OF the 24.7OO farmers
in the state, 1857. or 1871 per cent,
reported dairy products as their prin-
cipal source Of income.
The total value OF the products of the
poultry industry In 1850 was $1,44O,-
5l4, of which 59.2 per cent, represents
the value Of eggs produced, and 4O.8
per cent. that of fowls raised.
In the last decade the production OF
wool has increased 5,209, ,7O3 pounds. or
1862 per cent. AS the wool product
given for 1890, however, did not In
clude wool produced on ranges, the real
increase was probably considerably less
than that shown by simple comparison
OF the figures. The average weight of
feeces has remained practically the
same, being SO pounds In 1880 and 6.1
pounds In 1000.

tics Of the principal crops grown in

another to the man who mas studied
the process thoroughly and profited by
his experiences. At the beginning It
!. was thought impossible to fattep
lambs properly for market unless they
were given a full corn ration with the
alfalfa. Following ont this suppOsition
into period when corn advanced to
$1.25 and $1.4O per hundred weight
laid 'lOwn at the northern feed lots
from Nebraska and Kansas, those
feeders set in their ways finally real
lied that such feed produced no
profit and the wise ones turned their
attention to another method. They
feed wheat and barley with the alfalfa
for season during the feeding period
say about two-thirds OF the season
and finish with the harder grain. The
plan has been measurably successful;
they have made good profit, while
the enc who stuck to the corn ration
has lost out.
Two more factors have entered into
the feed ration the past three years,
and these, when thoroughly under
stood. will forever set at rest any fears
about making profit. They are Rus
sian speltz and the pulp from the sugar
geets ground out from the beet sugar
factories. Later on statements will be
produced from stock feeders who have
given these adjuncts fair and intel
iigent trial. and the results prove that
northern Colorado can produce first
class meat product, beef or mutton, on
home grown feeds that will make each
man engaged In the business independ-
emily wealthy In few years time.
Thus is created a market for the cattle
and sheep grower Of Wyoming and
Utah that will be forever steady.
An excellent and extensive system Of
irrigation makes 1t possible to raise
bounteous crops Of feed of all kinds.
The system of water storage is being
eagerly adopted by irrigators as a re-
lief from the trials and uncertainties
Of chance supply. Numbers of reser-
voirs to catch and hold the doOd wa
ters Of spring and mid-seasons are
among the high mountains, but the
greater number are among the foot
hills In the vicinity 0f the land to be
irrigated. The combined length Of the
canals for carrying the water to the
land Is 300 miles and the area irrigated
approximates 100000 acres, or one
tenth of the total irrigated area of the
entire state.
Excellent railroad facilities are pro-
vided into and out ot this section.
From the North and West stock Is
brought In by the Union Pacific, from
the South by the Colorado & Southern,
Denver Il Rio Grande and Atchison,
topeka & Santa .Fe, and out shipments
are over the Union Pacific and Bur
linRton lines.

LARGE FISH HATCHERY.
Ex-Governor Eaton at the Head Of q

from Greeley, Colorado: ~
Former Gov. b. H. Eaton Of this

which will establish the most complete
and largest private fish hatchery In
the state. The site has already been
purchased and is especially well adapt
ed for the propagation OF the fnny
tribe. Mountain, eastern and rainbow
trout will be raised and distributed.
Recently the ex-governor closed q
deal for the purchase Of 200 acres Of
land near the city of Westlake, about
seventy-five miles northwest OF here,
In Larimer county, where the hatch
cries are to be located. There are fve
small lakes on this tract and all are
connected naturally with each other.
Their source Of supply is numerous
mountain springs which never cease
flowing and the water ls the purest In
the state. Governor Eaton says. The
tract and lakes, with all water rights,
was purchased from George Mitchell,
who has lived near the lakns since the
early days, and the consideration was
something over $4,000.
Governor Eaton was reticent when
asked concerning the plans for the fu-

was earned by the lad. IL was neces-

was frightened at the thought of il.
and felt that If she could see her family

in which she had faith. she would be

what he would charge for coming to

The Need of Tenderness.

The grace of tenderness, for it is a grace,
should be cultivated for its own sake as
we'll as its invaluable aid in our service for
the Master True tenderness modulates
the voice, illuminates the face and presents
the word of life in a spirit of gentleness,
which wins a hearing for even unwelcome
truths. The world is in need of just such
tenderness as was manifested by our Lord,
and we as His disciples can render no bet
ter service to Him than rejecting His ten
der sympathy as we pass along life's jour
ney.
People long for tenderness Harsh meas
ures never won a soul to higher things.
Sympathy is the magic key bv which we
may gain access 70 hungry, aching hearts.
Tenderness may be developed by studying
the character of our Master. He recog-
nized the innermost longings of weary
mankind, and met this yearning with inf
mite tenderness and pity. Surely we as His
followers should initiate Him to the best
of our ability along this line. Let us de-
termine by the hep of the Holy Spirit
never to be betrayed into harshness. The
world is hard and cold enough without
you and | adding to its burden. Rather let
us seek by tenderness and sympathy TO aid
some soul to reach a hrmer foundation,
and oring Joy and peace to some little cor
ner OF earth.-George ID. Gelwcks.

Good Cheer I'm Religion.

1t is happy thing to live. It is .
happy thing to die. Our religion has the
promise of the life that now is and also
OF that which Is to come. 1t makes the
world ours and all things in it. We re-
ioice in its beauty and its joys, the laugh
ter of little children, the love of young
men and maidens, the grave friendship of
the old, the confidence of life and the
calm and trust which belong to us all.
Our religion now tells us to look upon
these and all the beautiful things of life,
and to take them holding them in hoh-
ness as the happy gifts OF our glad God.
And, above all these and in all these,
Christ is now revealed to us. He was and
He will be. Yea, and He is. No other
day ever set Him so high or loved Him so
dearly. To be sure, there is enough that
Is dark still, and the shadows could be
drawn heavily, sadly, but this hour let us
see the sunshine and play in 1t. The Lord

PRODUCED AN ARTIFICIAL PEARL
One Was Produced Ia the Shell OF q
Fresh Water Mussei.

Fresh water musHel.
A ball OF beeswax introduced into
the shell of living freshwater mus
sci has resulted In producing the most
remarkable artificial pearl in exist
ence. 1t Is about an inch and hall
in length, oval in form and pink In
color. and is now the property Of the
Smithsonian institution.
The ball OF wax was placed near the
hinge OF the bivalve, which, being kept
In a tank of fresh water, was careful
ly watched. The irritation OF the wax
caused the mollusk to protect Itself by
coating the foreign object with a
smooth coating OF pearl stuff-the
same material as that which Is used
In lining the inner surface OF It's shell.
In the case In question the result was
an enormous pearl. Owing to pres
sure, however. the wax ball lost It's
spherical shape and became oval In
form.
At the end OF two years the mussel
was taken out OF the tank and opened
and the pearl removed. The wax al
terward contracted owing TO dryness,
which caused the pearl shell TO crack.
This accident, while destroying the
commercial value OF the pearl, made 1t
possible TO observe the thickness OF
the nacreous covering which is some
what greater than that OF an ordinary
sheet OF letter paper. II the pearl
were not fiawed, says the Washington
Star. II would be worth an enormous
SUN OF money, but even as It Is 1t Is
priceless as a curiosity.
