DAAAAAAAAAAAA, a,
RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

Flowing In September and October
usually gives better results than when
left until later in the season and land
which has been in cultivation this
year should be sown to rye early enough
to have it make good growth this fall.
Then if the rye should be plowed un-
der next spring the fertility would go
TO feed the crops grown next year.
Those who have tried this plan say
that potatoes grown upon land where
rye has been plowed in are less likely
to have scab than If put on land that
has been barren or in grass during the
winter. Later plowiHg just before the
ground freezes helps destroy the pupa
of injurious insects that might winter
there and this is one of the very best
ways to get rid of grasshoPpers, range
crickets and the like.

Inn Miller Shot.

Last evening at about $50 O'Clock
as Jim Miller manager of the Dolores
livery stable, was opening tbs door OF
the stable to admit Frank Keen and
John Woods who were outside on
horses, two shots were fired the first OF
which penetrated the door aud passed
through Mr. Miller's right arm near
the shoulder just over the bone. The
| boys then rode out of town. Jim says
he doesn't know why the boys wanted
to shoot him rs he had done nothing
to insult them. He and Mrs. Miller,
accompanied by Jim's father and
mother who are visiting him, had been
down to the McElmo for load of
fruit and when they arrived home
Keen and Woods had their horses in
the livery stable. When they came
to get them they asked Jim If their
faces were good for the pay. They
were drunk, aud not wanting to have
trouble with them he told them he
guessed. they were, but they got money
and paid their bill. They returned in a
few minutes and wanted to put their
horses up for the night. Jim went
into the barn through the Office to
unlock the big door which was fastened
on the inside. He had just stopped
over and placed the key in the lock
when one of the boys asked if he
couldn't get it open and at the same
time fired the shot through the door.
There was no doctor in town and Ed
Menefee dressed the wound.

Patronize Home INDUSTRY.

Colorado has for long time been
looked upon rs one of the leading states
In this country in the matter of the
variety of Its productions. All the
time that it has been coming into
prominence on account of its wonder
full resources, it has been sending out
of the state millions of dollars every
year for old line life insurance prem
iums. Why? simple enough. 1t had
no life insurance company of its own.
The reason for this annual drain was
removed the fore part of the year by
the organization of the Colorado
National Life Insurance Company of
Denver upon the old line plan. Now
that the reason for this vast drain upon
the resources of Colorado citizens has
been removed, it is high time that we
stop it. Give your life insurance busi-
ness to Colorado company. 1t will
help you personally. How? BY keep
ing money in Colorado to be loaned
on your farm, business blocks, etc
Wouldn't a few hundred thousand an
nually thrown into the state make
money cheaper? Wouldn't cheal
money help you?
l am glad to say that many of the
citizens of this community have
realized the force of this and have
taken policies with the Colorado
National Life Insurance Company.

The planting of grape vines has heen
more neglected in this country than
any other branch of horticulture and
the opening in that direction appears
most promising. The profits from a
well-planted and well-kept vineyard
more nearly approaches those obtained
from berry plantations than any other
fruit, yet the labor in caring for the
grape is not nearly so arduous and try
ing rs in berry culture. All local con-
ditions conduce to make grape growing
quite as successful rs any other line of
horticultural work 1t is an industry
that does not require so much physical
exertion as many other branches of
agriculture that could be named. The
care and culture of vineyard is most
pleasant and elevating in which
aged, may excel without overtaXing
their physical ability. A very few
acres devoted to grape growing offers
not only good living for the family,
but a competency to the one who will
cultivate with brains as well as with
Drawn. Many small growers of grapes
appear to find trouble in disposing of
their product and local dealers do not
seem to care to handle homegrown
grapes, but this is largely the fault of
the growers themselves. If they will
put up their fruit in new, clean and at
tractive boxes and cases so that it will
look as well ms California fruit there
will be little or no trouble in selling all
the grapes grown.

christ's Love For Us.

Christ first loved us! Did he do so
because we were especially lovable and
attractive? Nay, he loved us when we
were especially unlovely and ungrate-
full. 1t is very easy to grow fond of a
sweet, beautiful child, who wins us by
its music of voice and witchery of face.
But to pick up the filthy waif of the
streets, or the poor diseased orphan of
the hospital, and to love that forlorn
object, requires heart. Christ did and
does more than this. He loves the
sinner who is in open, obstinate re-
bellion against him. "Christ died for
the ungodly." Not for the godly, OBJ
serve, but for the ungodly. While we
were in the far country of sin, Christ
called us. When we opposed him he
strove with us and conquered us.
While we were filthy, he pitied us, and
"Washed us from our sins in his own
blood" This is the history of every
conversion. The love of Jesus for the
sinner goes before the sinners love for
him.-Rev. t. l.. Cuyler

The "Hands Of Love-

The hands of love, spread over us,
In guarding, blessing;
White wings we cannot see or hear,
So soft descending.
With healing power they're touching
us,
While gently sleeping.
They quell all doubts, and still each
fear
These tender hands of blessing!
Strong Hands of Love supporting us,
They hold the burden.
They help us in our daily task;
When sad, they gladden..
In devious paths are guiding us,
And rough ones smoother.
"Help us to love these Hands," we ask,
ave, Thine own children"
