HEAT OF DAY
NOTHING TO SHIELD MAN
FROM THIS NOW.
Wanton Destruction of Shade
Trees All Over Country
Arbor and Bird Day
VS.. Vandalism.

From the cradle to the grave van
dalism seems to be one of the DOM
inant characteristics in the nature
OF man. Beginning as boy when
he must shy stone at every bird,
cat or other dumb animal he meets,
or must smash the windows of vacant
houses, Just because he is full Of un-
tanned outiawIy, to the time of man
hood when in the name of sport he
finds it necessary to destroy with gun
or rod everything wild that moves,
he is destroyer of nature pure,
Innocent and beautiful.
Commerciaism is another element
tnat works in conjunction with So
called sport in the work of useless
destruction. Because woman likes
to strut and initiate the peacock In
its plumage, man forthwith sets out
with gun and net to capture or to
kill the finest birds oil field and for
est; does it for pay. So likewise,
because row of stately trees occu
pies one acre out of forty, the farmer
and land owner goes with saw and
axe and lays low the entire grove.
Then he sometimes uses the row of
dead stumps for fence posts, thus,
to his notion, reaching the height
OF utility to which the grand and
stately trees could be put. He has
gained an acre or two of ground for
the planting Of crops. that formerly

That is commercialism, and conse-

new MARKET
KANSAS CITY WILL DRAW
SHEEP NEXT SEASON.
Establishment of Feeding Pens
Will Give Weld and Larimer
County Shippers What
They Want.

BY next spring sheep feeders in
northern Colorado will have the ben
eft of the Kansas City market, of
which, for want of proper feeding
pens at that end of the line they
have been deprived heretofore. Next
to Chicago, the Kansas City market
is considered the best in the country,
and as it is only about half so TAR
away as Chicago it will mean much
to shippers.
In reply TO letter written to his
house by w. L. Porter, Armour's S
representative in Greeley, the COM
pany states that while feeding pens
can probably not be put in shape for
any business this season they are
almost sure to be ready. for next
seasons business
While the sheep feeders have done
we'll with their stock this spring the
opening Of one more market to them
will increase their chances of good
business just that much more here
after. The objection to Kansas City
heretofore has simply been the lack
OF feed yards. The long trip from
Greeley to Omaha with the several
changes of railroad yards Necessary
will cause lamb to lose from six to
eight pounds in weight bv the time
it reaches the market. BY feeding
four or five days after reaching the
destination and before selling, sheep
men claim they can make up this
shrinkage and even paying for the
feed and care in the pens, make
money on the deal

Heretofore the only Colorado sheep
che Kansas City market has received
have come from the southern part of
the state and from the Arkansas river
valley. From the latter place there
is comparatively short run to Kan
sas City and as it is on a direct line
there are no changes. There has
been feeling that the sheepmen in
that section Of the state were always
able to make better proft than
those in the northern part of the
state, just on account of the farmers
better shipping connections with
Kansas City. The new feeding yards
will in measure even things up for
the northern Colorado shipper.
According to Mr.. Porter's estimate
there are between 400 and 500 car
loads of sheep still in Weld and Lar
inner counties to be shipped, and
these aie now going at the rate of
about 100 car loads week.
