Can't Grow Fruit Without Water.

From Field and Farm.
After working ninety-two acres OF land
near Lttleton for over fifteen years and
spending 5000 the Stark brothers are
now confident that fruit cannot be sue
cessfully grown in Colorado without irrl-
cation. In 1887 land was leased from the
state and planted to fruit trees contrary
to the advice of the editor Of FIELD AND
FARM. The Starks believed that almost
any kind OF fruit could be grown in
Colorado without the aid OF irrigation.
All that was needed was sufficient culti-
walton of the land, which would conserve
the moisture that fell from the heavens.
The tract was planted to apples. plums.
cherries,and peaches and from that time
to this the ground has been assiduously
cultivated, but it had not been a paying
proposition from the start. Year after
year the trees would promise well. but
the the dry summer comes on and the
fruit withers away. Notwithstan nding
this disappointment the Starks are anx-
ious to retain the land and are willing
10 acquire title to it on the basis Of $50
an acre.

Harvest lime at Home.

Somehow. when business has a lull
about this time of year.
Ny thoughts take their vacation back
among the scenes once dear.
] stray about the harvest fields where
long and long ago
I watched the cereal ocean in its golden
ripples flow.
While now and then. upon some blade.
tired reaper bore.
The sunbeams flashed and then went out
like thoughts recalled no more.
How pleasant then the journey home
along the country road.
Where larkspur blooms beside the fence
like knots of lovers glowed-
Now listening to the whippoorwill be-
yord a darkling field.
Or tarrying where the berries tempt-a
shower of wine congenled:
And long before we reached the gate to
hear the watch dogs bark
And see the distant windows Rleam like
blossoms of the dark.
It seemed SO long since those old years
80 long, indeed that
Now wonder that time could be with
out sob or sigh,
And yet. enough do i recall to vow that
In the end
when the no more and ever more In
deaths twilight shall blend
u would suffice to know that life beyond
the gathering gIoam
Would really prove as care free as
the harvest time at home.

He afirms that a diet of carrots anne

duces nervous irritability; peas create
joyousness; while turnips have a de-
pressing influence. Cabbage is good for
pulmonary complaints; while lettuce
acts as a sedative upon the human
