Mortalitv,

MISUNDERSTANDING figures for
the first eight months of 1905 show
i 1927 deaths in Minneapolis This is
fourteen less than for the correspond
ing period of last year and although
the: decrease is not great, it is encoura-
ging from the fact that the popula-
ton has increased considerably. st.
Paul, which advertises itself as the
healthiest city in the world, shows an
increase of &c deaths for the corre-
spending period. The number of
deaths for the first eight months in
that city was 1863, as compared with
], 2o3 for like period in 1904 In view
of the fact that the city is believed to
have a slightly smaller population
than last year, as indicated by the
school enrolment, the record is some-
what dubious.

Dean Of the Agricultural College.

In comforting extended authority to

Agriculture has recognized and re-
warded the talents Of one of the
younger members Of the profession
who is well known and popular In Chi
cago and the East.
Dean Carlyle has been in charge of
AFFAIRS at the western college barely
two years, but in that time has made
friends among the farmers and stock
men of the state at a rate that has sell
dom, II ever, been equalled by a young
professional man who made a jump
1000 miles into new field of activity.
The agricultural interests of the state
are behind Dean Carlyle and his work
in q great loyal body.

Professor Carlyle made him conspic.
uous figure in agricultural education

Greeley Starch Factory.

Great things are expected of the
new starch factory just completed at
Greeley. The capacity of the factory
Is 4.S00 sacks. or 240 tons Of potatoes
a day or an output of forty-eight tons
Of starch every twenty-four hours.
Ten million pounds, or 800 carloads OF
potatoes. have been contracted for this
year.. The factory pays 20 cents hun
dred for potatoes, which can be deliv.
cred unsacked at the factory. By
chemical analysis the Greeley potato
is found to contain twenty per cent.
starch and from the 100000 pounds
sliced this year 1000 tons Of starch
will be made.
Potato starch is used in factories in
sizing thread, cloth, etc. The demand
exceeds the supply and hundreds. of
tons are imported annually. 1t Is said
the demand for potato starch is great
er than the demand for corn starch.
The starch brings 81 cents q pound
wholesale.

Wyoming Dry Farming.

Laramie county, the city of Chey-

have employed DR.. Cook of Oregon to
instruct the farmers in the vicinity of
Cheyenne in the matter of dry farm
ing, and the doctor has already taken
hold Of the work. He has made an in
vestigation of the meteorological con-
ditions existing in Wyoming and
has found that we have more rainfall
than in the country where he has been
carrying on successful operations DUR
ing the past few years. He said to the
editor Of the Republican that we had a
great country here and did not know
1t; that II the farmers would follow his
instructions in the matter. Of selecting
seed, planting and cultivating there
would be no question as to the result.
He was greatly surprised that farming
had been carried on to such limited
degree in Wyoming.-Laramie Repub-

Stock Dipping Time Extended.

Owing to the backwardness Of the
season and the consequent impoverish-
ment of the cattle and sheep of Colo
RADIO, the State Board of Stock Inspec-
ton Commissioners at meeting May
18th decided to extend the time when
the dipping regulations should go into
effect from June 1st to July LIST.
In an order issued some time ago the
board made it mandatory upon the
stockmen. Of that portion of Colorado
lying east OF. the summit of Medicine
Bow range, Larimer county, the west
line of Boulder, Jefferson, Ell Paso, Pu-
eblo, Huerfano and Las Animas coun-
ties, and that part of Fremont county
lying east OF Canon City, to dip their
cattle on or before June 1st.
Since that order was issued reports
have been coming in to the board from
cattle men from all over the state, say
season, which has kept the grass from
growing, their stock was in no cOndi-
ton to be dipped, and that an enforce
ment Of the regulation would entail
upon them serious loss. An extension
Of time was accordingly granted, but
otherwise the order must be complied
with most rigidly.
The board is determined to stamp
mango and scabies out of Colorado. and
under the new law their enlarged pow
ers give them great authority.
