Appropriate and Timely.

The discussion of the Public Build
ing subject at the Chamber of Com
merce Smoker on Tuesday evening to
my mind was both appropriate and
timely. 1t may be that it is sume
what pretentious for Grand Junction
to expect so much at the hands of the
National Government. yet we have
as much right to ask for public
building as any other growing and
ambitious young city.
February LIST. 1900 Senator E. o.
Wolcott introduced a bill in the U. 5.
Senate appropriating the sum of $125,
900 for public building at Grand
Junction. The bill pssed the senate.
At the same time Congressman Bell
introduced bill in the house for the
same purpose and for the same amount
But probably owing to the fact that
he was not a member of the control
ing majority in the house, he did not
succeed in passing it. But now with
three Republican Congressman who
are in sympathy with the National
Administration, we may within the
next two years be able to get 1T
through the House. Senator Teller
assures us that if it passes the House.
he will agree to put it through the
Senate.
If this bill fails at this session we
can ask that it be pushed forward at
the next. In fact we ought to keep
everlastingly at it. as long as our con-
gressmen and senators are willing to
introduce a bill for us.
Sooner or later a public building
will be built in this city. and 1T
should be made an object for patient
and systematic work on the part Of
the Chamber of Commerce every cit
izen who can in any way reach con-
gresham or senator personally or 9th
erwise 1t is no easy task, as such
favors are not freely, bestowed, and
if we finally succeed it may take
years to accompli sh our purpose.
Congressman Hogg has said that it
should be one OF his chief objects
during his tenure of office to secure
for Grand Junction public building.
and we may rest assured that he will
do his part to secure it.

Record Breaking Run.

Engineer Maxve ell, of the Rio
Grande road. formerly travelling en-
gineer, made a record breaking run
from this city to Helrer. Utah. Wed
nesday. The distance of III miles be-
tween this city and the end of the di-
vision was covered in the remarkable
time of 8 hours and 5S minutes. Wheu
the character of the road leading over
mountains is considered tsis trip of
III miles in the time of less than four
hours is wonderful. The special train
which he pulled contained the Silver
Slipper Opera company ON its way
from Denver TO San Francisco. The
time is more than fifty miles an hour
and is remarkable speed. Fow trains
exceed this squirt on level roads.

GROWING, CLOVER.

The growing of clover has so impor-
tant place in dairy husbandry that we
reproduce the following in this de-
partment from A. NJ. TenEyck in Kan
sas Farmer:
ct is usual to SOW about ten to fif-
teen pounds of common red clover per
acre. while five to eight pounds of the
alsike clover per acre is sufficient.
Glover should be sCWn early In
the spring on a well-prepared seed
bed. The ground should be mellow
at the surface but not loosened LOO
deeply; rather, the subsurface should
be firm (not hard). A good seed-bed
for clover may be prepared by disk
ing and narrowing corn-stubble, or on
early falI-plowed ground. AS a rule,
it is not best to spring-plOw land for
seeding clover, alfalfa, or any grass
seed. Ground freshly plOWed is apt
to be too loose and mellow, and in
case the weather remains dry the
seed will start poorly and the young
plants may be destroyed by drouth.
Glover may be sOWn broadcast and
narrowed in. The seed-bed should be
fully prepared before seeding and one
narrowing after the seeding is suffi-
cient to cover the seed. 1t may be
safer in the average season to put the
clover in with the drill. 1t will be
necessary to have grass-seeder at
tachment on the ordinary grain-drill
in order to SOW clover. An attach
ment in which the tubes from the
grass seeder box join the spouts from
the grain-bOx in order that the seed
may be sown in the drill burrows is
one of the best kind of implements
to use for seeding clover.
Usually at this station we nave
had good success in sowing broadcast
and this is the simplest method OF
seeding. The clover may be seeded

HANDLING COARSE FODDER.

Each and every farmer should have
for chatting feed. By running all corn
stalks through the machine, they give
better returns when fed, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in
good form for bedding and the manure
heap. Long corn stalks are a nui-
sance in the feeding manager, worth
less for bedding, and troublesome in
the manure pile. Difficulty is found
in a few cases in feeding cut corn.
stalks as the COWS refuse to eat them.
In many cases the sharp ends of the
cOrnstalks, when cut certain lengths,
injure the mouth of the COWS. Where
they are not we'll eaten the cause is
often due to overlooking, or endeav-
oring to have the COW live on too limit
ed variety of foods. By keeping
the managers clean and feeding e
cut fodder with care, very little will
be left over, and that only the coars-
corn are raised more of the cut stalks
are eaten than if fed uncut under the
same conditions. Less waste is
found in feeding cut fodder as the
animals eat the butts readily, but re-
ject them when fed without being cut.
All stock relish it when they become
used to it, as well as hay or other
chopped foods.-Otto Irwin in the Ep
ZIONIST.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2S.-(Special)-
1t has long been claimed that Diabetes
is incurable, but Mr.. E. J. Thompson,
teacher in the Hinton school, has
pleasing evidence to the contrary Mr.
Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
q statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
Il was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years and was treated
by two of the best doctors in this part
Of the State. They claimed had Dia
betes and there was little to be done
FOR me. Then l started to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and what they did for me
was wonderful. 1t is entirely owing
to Dodd's Kidney Pills that 1 an now

Many doctors still maintain that Dia-
betes is incurable. But Diabetes is
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

SELLING LATE CHICKS.

Late-hatched chicks are sold when
ever they reach five pounds per pair.
The main point in their management
is to keep them growing. They must
be fed separately from the adults,
and should not be crowded, or they
will not grow. The best food is buck
wheat in the morning. If buckwheat
is not obtainable, use whole wheat.
Do not feed too much in the morning.
but let them seek their food on the

cut meat and bone, with a second
ration of wheat, and If they are kept
free from lice they will thrive and
grow rapidly.

" hite Buffalo.

Old buffalo hunters of the western
Kansas prairies used to tell of having
seen and pursued white buffalo. There
were white buffalo albinos, such as
are found at rare intervals in all the
families of the animal kingdom; but
the number of those which existed in
fact and Of those which existed purely
in the imagination, says the Kansas
City Journal, were in wonderful dis
proportion.
In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roam
ed the plains with his tall, gaunt wife
for companion, followed herd Of
buffalo from the northern edge OF
what is now oklahoma to the sand
hills Of Nebraska, thinking to kill
big white bull which he had seen in the
herd. After three weeks of patient
stalking Garfield did kill the bull, only
to find that the whiteness Of its APP
pearance was due to a coat of white
wash.
An explanation of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds of western
Kansas. The habit of the buffalo is to
roll or wallOw in every pool of water
or mud hole to which he comes Can
fields buffalo had simply been rolling
in a bed of native lime, which, when
dried in the sun, coated his hide with
q kind of plaster.
No doubt these lime holes account
for many of the white buffalo so Of
