DIOCESE OF DENVER.
CITY OF DENVER.
One of the Most Beloved Nuns of
the Diocese Passes Away
Especial CORRESPONDENCE.


A cloud came over the religious COM
munities of the city last week when
Sister Mary Paschal, one of the most
beloved nuns Of the diocese, passed
away. Death came peacefully at St.
Joseph's hospital on Wednesday morn
ing while the sister was surrounded
by members of the religious order Of
which she was member. Sister Mary
Paschal had been an invalid for some
years but had kept indefatigably at
work. Until a few weeks ago she was
at Loretto Heights academy, but her
health steadily failing she was advised
by her physicians, Drs. Corbin and
Powers, to go TO Santa Fe. She en-
tered the sanitarium there. but grew
steadily worse. Two weeks ago Ishe
was removed to St Joseph's hospi-
tai, where she died after a few days
of suffering. Cancer of the stomach
was the cause of death. The funeral
on Thursday was attended by nearly
every priest of the city and the inter
ment was made in the private lot at
the convent. Sister Mary Paschal was
member of an old and respected
Louisville, KY, family. Her mother,
Mrs. l.. A. Doyle and a brother, Fred
Doyle both reside there at present
At the age of Is she entered the con-
vent of Loretto at Loretto, KY, and
became one of the most beloved mem
bers of the order. In 1890 she came
to Denver and has since been an in
structor at st. Mary's academy. Her
loss is keenly felt by all who knew |
her. May she rest in peace.

Au Unsettled Question.

The question whether two filters Of
pigs a year should be required Of Z
sow has never been definitely settled
Eminent breeders occupy both sides Of
the question. The discussions on this
subject has been voluminous in the
northern and western states, and the
parties seem to be nearly equally di-
vided. In the southwest, and especial
~ in Tens, expert opinion seems to
favor spring and fall litter. It may
be. and probably is fact that our
milder climate, and especially our
shorter winters favor the two-litter
side Of the controversy. At any rate
many OF our most successful pork rails
ers say that II they had to conane
themselves to one litter they would go
out of the hog business. They claim
that the more pigs they have the more
hogs they have to sell, and that fall
litters are almost as profitable as those
deposited in the spring.-Farm and

Feeding the HOGS.

Pork is the condensation of the food
eaten by the hog. To be wholesome
food, the hog must have been fed on
sound food. In and around all our
cities there are hog breeders who haul
from hotels and restaurants Stops so
fearfully putrid that stringent ordi-
nances must be adopted to regulate its
handling lest contagion be the result.
In some towns this stuff must be trans
planted at night. In others, alright
receptacles must be provided. Free
Quently hogs thus fed are declared
nuisances dangerous to public health
and are prohibited. The carcases of
such hogs are only fit for buzzard food,
and yet butchers serve them out to in
nocent customers. The hogs may re-
main in apparent health, and may even
become fat, yet their flesh is danger
GUS food for man, for the flesh con-
tains the imprities of the putrid food
from which it was made.-Farm and

Scrub stock is good enough for a

Guinea fowls are probably the most

THE HORSE ON THE FARM.
4 Factor Of Paramount Importance

The relation Of horse labor to the

portance. It Is not possible to utilize
modern agricultural machinery with
out the aid Of the horse. A horse OPP

or can accomplish as much work as
eight or ten men. It is important.
therefore, that every farm should be
well equipped with an ample supply OF
horses There need be no supernumer-
aries, but q reserve in case of sickness,
accident or death is about as necessary
AZ reserve corps to an army engaged
/ In battle.
When there is only enough to con-
duct the farm operations, in case Of
accident the work on the farm suffers
and the profits Of the season are re-
duced.
{ It is well to have an extra horse for
IN emergency. for II there is shortage
1t critical time serious losses occur.
The horses should be OF sufficient
weight to perform their task easily,
otherwise proper cultivation can not be
sconsummated. II the horses are too
light they can, in many of the farm
operations, be worked three abreast,
or to unicorn hitch, the leader working
lsahead Of the pole pair. A pair of
horses can be worked to better advan-
tage than three horses. Two 1000
pound horses are more efficient in con-
Quoting farm operations than three L.
sOOO pound animals. The heavy horses
have the weight, power and endurance
TO turn deep burrows and cultivate the
soil deeply. The help on the farm can
work to better advantage with two
than with three horses. A great mis-
take committed by some farmers is to
3sell the heavy horses and retain those
that are actully too light for efficient

Freezing Fish Alive.

A remarkable project is to be put into
operation at Tacoma, Ore. The scheme
is to freeze fish alive, to ship them TO
eastern markets and then, by thawing
them, to restore them to life. The chief
care to be observed is that the cold shall
not exceed II degrees below freezing
point, and tha. when in frozen condi-
ton the fish shall not be exposed to the
sun. The stsea Is based upon an act Of
nature in some of the rivers and lakes In
Alaska These bodies Of water freeze
solid from surface to bottom during the
winter The ice is filled with fish, which
return to life in the summer.

mind that he would never be able to get re-

heved him almost Immediately, and mas cured
him permanently. 1t is SO very easy to get

THE LABOR PROBLEM.


The complaint Of scarcity =, 1.,o,

more Keenly than any other class. The
1ev1eWs, magazines and the daily news,
papers are all giving us learned es.
says on this subject. They assign
many and varied causes and suggest :
very great variety Of remedies. There
ls more OF less truth in each and ali
OF these; but we have as yet seen no
discussion OF the case with which we
luiiy agreed. The scarcity of labor
winch is SO keenly felt by the south
ern farmer has come from several
causes or 2 long time there has
oeen steady flow of white labor
from the farms to the cities and towns
Recently there has been such a strong
demand for colored labor to build rail-
roads, street railway lines, to run saw
mllls and turpentine factories; work
upon the streets and other public works
OF cues and towns, that a steady
stream has set in from the farms. While
many have gone directly to take Jobs.
very, very many have gone just to fol-
low the crowd. This latter class has
filled all OF the cities and towns to
overhowing with idlers and Migrants.
Higher wages and city attractions have
drawn thousands away from farm life
The result will necessitate higher wag-
es on the part of the farmer. And
when he pays higher wages, he will
have the right to demand better sery-
ice.
So we see that this may not prove
to be altogether Injurious II it should
result, as it ought to do, in inaugural
ing a better class of labor, it will in
the end prove great blessing. II it
should open our eyes to the fact that
absentee ownership is one of the great
est evils now existing in farm life. Too
much farming is done at long taw. In
dividual men own too much land. II
these large farms were broken up and
sold in small parcels, the country
would be greatly blessed Every land
owner is better citizen because he
owns land. Hence the more land own
ers we have the better citizenship we
will have
Then let these land owners use the
best farming implements. Let them
learn to do more and better work by
the use of more brains and better ma
chinery. Let them SOW down large
part OF the country to grass, get live
stock to eat this grass. With better
implements cultivate the remainder in
better style, and make larger yield per
acre. In this way larger crops can be
made at much less cost, and with
many fewer hands These land owners
can do Q great deal OF this work them
selves. and become largely Independent

say, however. that the above all goes
to show the NECESSITY for better edu-

as suggested by ! Georgia farmer. Such
