Care for the Harm ess

In cleaning and oiling harness the
first thing to do is to get it clean.
With a sponge and soap suds all the
dirt should be loosened and as much
of it as possible wased off, and in the
cleaning process blunt instrument of
some kind may be used to scrape off
bad places. All manure, gum, grease,
and everything on the leather must be
taken of, and it is well to use as little
water as possible in the operation Az
ter the leather has been thoroughly
cleaned, in most cases for farm har-
ness, the rest of the operation is apply
ing the oil and then leaving il to dry.
This operation done several times
year, the need for it being the way to
Judge as to when to oil and clean, will
keep harness in very good shape,
and save much money in few years.
Light harness may be kept in good
order by sponging it off every week
or oftener with harness soap, this be-
ing put on only after the dirt has been
removed.

Addison County for sheep.

The Burlington, VT. Daily News re-
marks: "If the farmers of Addison
county can raise the finest of Merino
sheep and can dispose Of them at fan
cy prices in South Africa and all Other
quarters of the globe, why cannot
sheep raising be made profitable in the
same way in other parts of the state
There is no great difference in climatic
conditions. Sheep are raised to GER
tain extent in some of the other coun.
ties but not with anywhere near the
success that attends the efforts Of the
farmers of Addison"
To which the Middlebury Register
rejoins: "There are two things that
are vitality essential to success in the
sheep industry. Knowing how and
what to breed. This is something that
cannot be learned easily. The reason
why Addison county farmers have
made the breeding of fancy sheep a
success is because they have been
brought up from childhood in it. Adj
Olson county is also particularly favor
ed by climate, water and feed. IT is
famous for its sheep for the same rea-
son that the blue grass region of Ken
lucky is famous for its horses"

A Valuable Discovery.

The Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station has discovered the valua.
bic fact that cheese cured in an atmos.
phere of low temperature sustains a
far less shrinkage than the cheese cur.
ed in warmer atmosphere. The dis.
covery is valuable to cheese making
throughout the country. BY its appli-
cation manufacturers may put their
product through the process Of ripen-
ing and sustain far less loss by shrink
age than when the ordinary atmosphere
is used. As a result of the discovery
cold storage places are so constructed
in connection with Geese factories that
the temperature can be easily governed
and in these the cheese will be ripened.
Underground storage places can be
built at comparatively small expense.
The results Of the experiments are con-
tained in bulletin just issued by the
university agricultural station.

the railroad tracks they were met by
a motor cycle, which frightened the
horse. The driver had him fairly
well under control however, by the
time they reached the tracks, but
there one side of the shafts dropped
down and again frightened the ami

curb, threw the occupants out and
then rolled over them and stopped
upside down. In the meantime the
horse. now loose from the rig, went
through the alley between the houses
and made for the East Side livery

pilot the lucky contestants over the
Fair grounds. She is well acouainten
in st, Louis and will add greatly to
the pleasure OF The trip.
There is sIill time for sufficient
work on the part of each young lady
to win her the trip. The Tribune
would like to see every one OF the
contestants 90, and they must all
understand by this time, every one
OF Them can 20. Only % new sub
scriberS are necessary to have
railroad fare paid one way Fifty
new subscribers will pay rail-
road and Pullman fare both ways.
One hundred new subscribers will
give the lady the same kind of trip
that the two winners of the contest
will have. A new subscriber in
order to count in this contest must
be paid in advance A six months
subscription counts for one half sub
scriber.
The next two weeks should see the
credits at least double what they are
now, as great manv votes are being
held back. These can now be depos-
tied at any time without a rival
gaining any knowle ice of same.
They are simply dropped into the
ballot box, upon which there are
three locks, all different, so that only
the three judges together can oper
them, as each judge Will have a key
to one Of the locks.
Following is the table showing
what counts for CREDITS
Every coupon clipped from the Trib
une counts five votes or credits.
Every new subscriber with cash for
one year counts 800 votes or credits. A
six months subscriber counts half as
many.
Every $500 paid by an old subscriber
on account counts 200 credits.
Every want ad sent to the Tribune
with the cash counts 20 credits.
The contest is open to any young lady
in Weld county. The one residing in
Greeley having the most credits to her
account will be one of the winners, and
the young lady outside OF Greeley who
stands highest among the outside candi-
dates will be the other winner.

Of the same avenues with Ninth

save a good deal OF trouble IL the
city council would authorize the city
engineer to relocate those centers to
correspond as nearly as may be with
the location Of the substantial corner
buildings at those intersections.
The disturbing OF these center
marks by anyone not authorized by
the city council to do so is very
serious otfense and should be pun
ished by heavy fine. When work
men on the street have occasion to
remove them the city engineer should
be notified that he may set reference
points before their removal, and thus
be able to restore them to their orig
inal position when the work they
have In hand is completed.

survey Needed.

Editor Of The Tribune:
Having been employed recently to
survey some city lots and set grades
for sidewalks, l have had occasion to
observe the condition OF the street
center monuments in Greeley.
In some cases l have found the
iron rods which are supposed to mark
the center, very much out of place,
and In other cases they: were gone en-
tlrely.
This displacement must result In
serious confusion of property lines
and sooner or later In no end OF
wrangling over boundaries.
The other day the owner Of the
lots on the southwest corner OF
Eighth avenue and Seventh street
called at the city engineers Office to
have curbing lines and sidewalk
grades set for sidewalk in front OF
these lots. and Mr.. Stimson. the city
engineer, being absent. | set the
stakes.
With an assistant | spent three
fourths of day on the job and now
that the work is done 1 do not feel
sure that it is worth three -fourths OF
cent to the owner Of the lots, for
the reason that do not feel certain

another nest was located Then the
same performance was gone through
with.
1t seems question whether the
squirrels should be allowed to become
more numerous in the city at the
expense of driving out the birds,
That this may be done can be proven
by anyone who will try to find a
birds nest in the park, where the
squirrels are so thick.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-05-19

Several years ago a former city
engineer of Greeley was employed to
resurvey the city aud to put in place
suitable monuments to mark the sur
vey. am told that he placed long
iron rods at the intersection of all
street center lines, driving them
down several inches below the sur
face that they might not be dis
turbed by the traffic Of the street.
Relying on the correctness of the
mentioned center marks | lined up
with them, made my measurements
from them, set my stakes and sup

city councilman Informed me that he
felt sure that one of the center rods
had been displaced and could not be

but it was not until | had dug for

BIRDS are valuable in the same way
and should be protected.
The accompanying cut shows a
young robin, almost large enough to
leave Its nest. In fact, 1T is the
only one OF large family OF children
that has not left the nest The
photograph was taken by Mr.. Crone.
Another cut that is here shown Is
OF a redheaded woodpecker, also
taken by Mr. Crone, and gives a fair
idea OF how the ornthologist of
today hunts birds with a camera
instead OF gun. 1t required nearly
three days time to catch this bird
looking pleasant. He was up about
twenty-tiv feet from the ground,
and had 1t not been for the strong
attraction Of his nest and young
birds In a hole in the tree the photo
graph could never have been secured
Ihe camera was placed upon a tall
stepladdef and focused on the hole in
the tree. 1t took over a day before
uhe bird would settle at the nest
while the camera was near, and an
other one and a half days were re-
quired before he became familiar
with the man at the root Of the tree
who was 10 press the button
THE greatest difficulty in bird
photography" says Mr.. Crone, sis
not in the wildness Of the bird, but
in its restlessness. Even when you
can come near enough to bird to
take a good picture 1t is seldom he
will sit still long enough to focus a
camera on him unless ne is on a nest
or feeding
One photograph that Mr. Crone
has in his large collection that he is
particularly proud OF, because it rep
resents new discovery, besides per-
haps being the only photograph Of
its kind in existence, is that OF a
nest full of young redhead ducks,
so young in fact that the photograph
shows some of them just out OF the
egg. 1t was never known until Mr..
CIone found this nest that the red
head duck nested in Colorado. He
discovered the nest up near Windsor
one after Jon, with the eggs in it,.
The next day he went to have an
other look at it and to take a picture
of the eggs. Instead OF eggs the nest
was that day full OF young ducks.
What Mr.. Crone counts one of his
| most difficult feats in bird photOg-
| raphy was to take the picture OF a
| heron's nest. Up near Windsor there
is a heronry where perhaps twenty
| We or thirty birds have nests in one
| tree. 1t is in an enormous big
cottonwood tree and the difficulty Of
climbing this is in Itself no small
feat. Bot when you reach well up
among the branches you find all the
nests out on small limbs upon which
you dare not trust your weight. 1t
was necessary to climb away up above
the nests and then TO tie the camera
on limb and reach out and aim as
near to the nest as possible, In this
way fairly good picture was OBJ

Lyte Gregory Killed.

Lyte Gregory, brother Of Paul A..
Gregory of LaSalle, was shot down
and killed in Denver Saturday night
at about IL 80. 1t is supposed that
the murder was for revenge for work

troubles in Idaho Springs last year
Gregory was a detective and was de-
tailed to work at Idaho at that time.
Three charges of buckShot we're hred
into his body.
Paul Gregory, brother of the muir
