Loco Investia alton.

The investigation into effects OF the

been without results. says the Denver
Record-Stockman. The post mortem

state veterinarian. and DR.. March. in
charge OF the government experiment
at Hugo, developed nothing startling
Speaking of the investigations at Hugo
the Record-Stockman quotes the
Range as follows:
while 1t is true that little Is be-
ing accomplished at the loco expert
ment station here at present, we can
see no reason for encouragement in
the mere fact that the stock are not
taking readily to the eating of the
loco weed at this season of the year
when green grass is SO abundant. 1t
is a well known fact among local
stockmen that during the months Of
June. July and August. when green
grass is the most abundant, they have
the least trouble over their stock eat
ing loco and that stock not used 70
eating the weed are not apt to touch
1t during these months. 1t is in tbs
fall of the year. when the grass 10
cured and the loco remains green.
that stock acquire a taste for the weed
and continued feeding on the weed
throughout the fall and winter is what
causes the disastrous effect. The ex-
pertinent was not commenced here un-
til after green grass had started, so
there is yet no Just reason for criti-
cism at this time. The experiment is
to be continued for at least a year.
at the end of which time successful
results will. no doubt. have been &C.
complished. In the meantime out
siders should not be too hasty in thek
criticisms. but should wait until ths

Story.

Truthful" James Smiley had just
finished a hair-raising account of the
manner in which he had killed a griz-
Ely bear by puncturing its jugular with
hat pin. and the assembled guides
and hunters were pondering over the
story, when "Ananias" Jake Smith
spat refiectively into the campfire and
unbosomed himself, says the Denver
Post. II don't want to cast retiec-
tions or insinuations at Truthful in
regards to this here yarn, although
would like to know how a man as gun
shy of a female as he is happened to
have hat pin in his clothes million
miles from nowhere; but, as | said,

one time that pima common safety

sylvan dell, as the potes call il, | was

take a drink from the limpid pool.
Just as I put my face to the water
see the dad-bingdest trout YOU ever
cast your eyes on. This here trout

about game fish, that tnny reptile
jumped for me as If l was hoss fly

shook while that trout tried to dare
me to come closter.
Being. as I said. shy on grub. I
makes up my mind TO catch that fish.
| didn't have no hook, but in my
clothes finds an old safety pin. TAX

a line, and tying the pin TO it, drops
her in. | hear snap like trap jaws
closing. and the next minute I'm in the
water engaged In a fight to the death
with that trout. l see by his blazing
eyes that he means business. and
don't waste time, but get strangle
hold on his gills. All the time I'm
expecting to feel that trout bite me
through and through. but finally when
I'm about gone. I gets him throttled
senseless and drags him to the bank.
Then | sees what saves me from the
cruel jaws of the monster When the
trout bit that safety pin he sprung II
in some way and pinned his mouth
shut. When he come to see his
heart was breaking from shame and

like to have ct him all, for he was
a gamey fish, but | couldn't think OF
making my pack animal carry no such
load as that" There was a moments
silence around the campfire and then
"Ananias Jake" spoke again: There
amt nobody had the decency to ask
me what that fish weighed" he said
plaintively.

Before commencing the work Of

exist between the individual plants.
Some do not stool SO much as others.
In some the stoolons are weakly and
much shorter than the main or frs.

grain in the heads of some plants is
more uniform in size than in others
In many plants the heads of grain con-
tain small. poorly developed kernels
in the lower end spiklets, while the
kernel in other heads Of the same va
riety growing by their side are fairly
uniform throughout. The best heads
from the most robust. large and pro
ductive plants should be selected. The
whole plant. and not the head only.
is to be considered.
An ideal type of both plant and
head should be fixed in the mind OF

Colorado Starch,

The shipment from Greeley of the
first carload OF Colorado starch ever
sent out of the state was notable
event in more ways than one.
1t was the initial shipment In what
may in course of time become large
east-bound traffic. 1t demonstrated
that 1t is practicable to use as raw ma
terial the product OF an established
Colorado industry, thus giving new EN-.
ployment to labor and opening up new
markets. 1t showed also that the po-
tato growers of the Greeley district
will not be wholly dependent apor the
sale of thct. product In more or less
remote markets. The starch factory
supplies a market at their doors for
part of their crop. more especially for
the otherwise unstable part.
1t is stated that the shipment con.
sisted of 10000 pounds of starch. and
that 1t was the product of 200 900 pounds
potatoes. This Is equivalent to saying
that the potatoes yielded twenty per
cent. in starch, which seems to be
about the yield of Indian corn. From
this the conclusion seems justified that
potato starch from Greeley can COM
pete with corn starch made in other
parts of the country SO far. at least.
as the western market is concerned.
Whether 1t will pay to ship it all the
way to the cotton factories of New
England may be an open question; but
in any event there is a big market for
it. and 1t is possible that the industry
will grow in few years to large pro-
portions.
No better illustration could be given
of the practicability of developing new
industries In this state based on the
product of other Industries already eS
tabished.

This Is Another SILK Season.

An expert says that every kind OF
silk has sold wonderfully well. Plain

cred in the light of a leader. has by
no means crowded out the fancy

All sorts of figures are in great de-
mand, late though it is. Stripes rival
the checks. and any and all fancy mix
lures are in high favor.
One of the loveliest evening coats
is of sage green oriental satin, the
softest and richest of weaves. 1t Is
built with empire tendencies, and is
finished off with cord braiding made
of gold tissue.

An OriuinaI Idea,

The orator once was the man who
claimed
Rewards from the people who vote:
The sound OF his voice oped the portals
OF fame
And his sayings the children would
quote.
But epiRrams grew so abundant at last
That a man tried different way.
He took his opinions and locked EN- up
fast
And said he had nothing to say.
The throng ever tickle, knocks at his
door
Photographers furtively peek
Through hfs transom. Impatient we ask
o'er and DER
When the oracle's going to speak,
'Tis strange that the simplest and easiest
scheme
Is often the one that Will pay,
We're astonished. For not until now did
we dream
That a man could have nothing to say.
