Maccaroni Wheat.

City correspondent of the Denver Re-
publican says: AS the result Of expert
menting with durum or maccaroni
wheat, L. L. Harding has produced a
fine crop grown without artificial mois.
ture.
Mr.. Harding .sowed fifty pounds of
the wheat on one and one.half acres
of arid land which never has been irri-
gated. The grain now stands three
feet high and is topped with fine, well
developed heads. No rain has fallen
on the ground since the planting ex.
'cept one or two showers in May, which
simply dampened the surface.
From present indications the yield
will be from thirty to forty bushels
per acre. Owing to the success of this
experiment plans are being made for
large acreage next year on the arid
lands lying above the irrigating bitches
near Canon City.

Secretary Taft. in an interview, re
ferring to Chinese exclusion. said that
It u not proposed to admit any more
Chinese Of the Coolie class. but merely

with general applause.
Secretary Atkinson said, In the
course Of his remarks, that Hawaii as
fortified post was more important to
the United States than the Philippines
will ever be.
In responding to the toast, "The
President" Secretary Taft began with
q humorous reference to Miss Alice
Roosevelt and her representation of
the President and, continuing. said
that President Roosevelt was anxious

Keeping Goat. for Milk.

The Department of Agriculture, hav-
ing succeeded even beyond its own ex-
pectations iE introducing the Angora
goat to the American farmer and pop
ularizing 1t as valuable animal in
this country, has now turned its atten-
'tion to milch goats. which form the
subject of an interesting bulletin Just
issued, of which Prof. George F.
Thompson is the author.
1t may seem strange that the milch
goat should be expected to appeal both
to the very rich and the very poor, but
such is the case. There are at present
practically no milch goats in this
country, except such as are kept by a
few Of the immigrant settlers, who are
used to them at home, and one philan-
thropic experiment that is now being
conducted by Mrs. Robey of Chicago.
The fact is that the goat is the poor
mans COW, and she Is much better
milk giver than the COW, considering
the amount of food she consumes. A
'por family can keep goat and have
plenty of milk better than cows
milk for about an eighth or a
seventh OF the money 1t costs to keep
a cow. At the same time goats milk
/ Is coming more and more into favor
with physicians as food for infants and
,inyalids who can afford it. and properly
prepared goats milk such as physi.
clans would order for well-to-do pa
tient will fetch from 12 to 25 cents a
quart In the market to-day. So 1t is
seen that the goat is really of inter.
est to both classes of citizens.

direct from the field. Ordinary
threshing machines, provided with fine

be run through a tanning mill before

huller is the best machine ON the mar
ket for threshing alfalfa. II 1t becomes
absolutely necessary to stack alfalfa

and cover with . tarpaulin. Never
put much alfalfa seed together. either
before or after threshing as It heats

yield will vary from one to twenty
bushels to the acre, but an average is
eight to ten bushels Weighing sixty
pounds to the bushel and worth from

Of the foremost bankers Of the coun-

pie Of what industry, pluck, ambition
and ability will do when combined in
such measures as he possessed.
For twenty years he was David H.
Moffat's right hand man. He was
Identified not only with the First Ma
tional Bank but with all the other
financial enterprises in which Mr.. Moi
fat was interested. He was secretary
and treasurer Of the Denver City
Tramway Company. vice president and
one of the directors Of the Bimetallic
Bank of Cripple Creek and vice presi-
dent of the Bank Of Victor. In add.
tion, he was connected with the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek railway, the Vic
tor Gold Mining Company, the Metal
lie Extraction Company and the Ana
conda Mining Company.
But years Of constant application
began to tell upon him. In 1892 his
health became SO undermined that he
was obliged to tender his resignation
as vice president of the First National
Bank and seek relief in the therapeu-
tic springs Of Germany. He partially
recovered. and about two years ago re-
turned to Denver and assisted in or
ganizing the State Investment Com
pany. associating with himself in this
enterprise Henry A. Mcintyre. He did
not spend much of his time in Denver,
however. travelling about mostly for
the benefit of his health.
Recently 1t was rumored that Mr..
Ross-Lewin intended to return to Den
yer permanently and open a banking
institution.

surgeon Treats General Wood.

Boston, July 15.-At Pocasset, Cape
Cod, Maj. Gen Leonard Wood has Just
undergone the delicate surgical opera
ton of trepanning to remove bony
growth on his head. The operation, It
is said, was entirely successful, and the
general Is making rapid progress to-
ward recovery.
The operation waa made necessary
by a mishap several years ago, when
Maj. Gen. Wood received a severe
blow on the head by an accident. A
swelling developed, but surgeons were
soon able to determine that it was not
of cancerous growth and not in the
least likely to have any permanent Ill
effects.

full OF the finny tribe that apparently
1t Is impossible for fish five inches
long to swim straight.
The small fish are on top and the
large ones below, and in order for a
fisherman to get the bait down to the

hole In the water and carefully drop
the hook down through the wriggling
mass.
On June 1 Mrs. Irwin Converse and

fellows on top, however, made such
fierce attacks ON the bait that their

water.

pulled out in order to make room for
the hooks, but the task had not been

I've men fear the dark because, In

Birds were once little reptiles
they are to-day only reptiles with feath-
ers and wings-and in the reptile state
they were preyed on by lot of vast
reptilian things with names like
pleistccene and saurian and suchlike
jawbreakers. Now, these big reptiles
were blue. blue like the deep sea. and
they were the only things that the
little replies had to fear. The life OF
the little reptiles was heavenly save
for the vast blue things that devouced
them. In their fear of these blue
things they finally developed wings
and then they were safe. But they
remember their fear of blue still, as
we remember our fear Of the dark,
and therefore the blue scarecrow IN
