tion, in a dispatch today expresses
an opinion that by Monday Carbon

the same time he expressed a fear
that the present czar may meet the
fate of Alexander IL. A message
from a person belonging to the court

Last year the tax levy for all pur-
poses OF the city government was
thirteen mills and fraction That
levy was simply sufficient to supply
the city with about sixty per cent.
of the total cost of maintaining the
city government. Every year there
is deficit and the council should
provide a sufficient levy the present
year to carry the city through one
fiscal year. The levy of the school
district for maintainance is larger
than to maintain the city and there is
no reason why the city authorities
should hold down their levy and not
shave sufficient money to carry for
ward the necessary work. II has
been determined unotiicially by the
board of aldermen that, the present
year shall see sufficient revenue col
lected in rentals for water to main
tain the system. This year there will
be a probable deficit in that fund of
about $4,000. The money to main
tain the city water system can be Sc
cured by raising the rentals slightly
on each property owner. The water
rentals now are extremely low and
there is no reason and in fact it is
bad business methods to permit each
wear to roll by without securing some
money by which to create sinking
fund for the redemption of the out
standing debts. which were created
TO build the water system.

mittee on public buildings. Mr., Mar
tin is from South Dakota. and is to
be impressed while in the city with
the importance of having the govern
ment supply new federal building
for the use of the postoflice. II seems
strange with what facility our con-
gressmen can secure the presence in
this state OF almost any member OF
congress. to further the interests of
the capital city. but who when called
upon to do something for the other
towns and cities, have little or no
time. No city in the state has such
need of a federal building as Grand
Junction. the chief city of western
Colorado. but Il would be as hard
almost TO secure the attention and
assistance of our congressional con-
tingent to aid us in the work of Sc
curing such a public building. as for
the camel to go through the eye of
the proverbial needle. Perhaps when
the city has grown to such an extent
that il will be a factor in returning
some of these gentlemen to their soft
seats in the congressional halls. we
may secure without begging their
interest to forward some of our
schemes for public Improvement.

No system of occultism or phil
osophy has ever been evolved to make
our foresight quite so good as our
hind sight. The palmist, the phre-
nologist and charlatans of many diff
ferent kinds have attempted 10 draw
away the veil of the future, but their
success has been questionable. In
building the sanitary sewerage sys-
TEN for this city. had we been able to
see short distance ahead and been
able to compute the possible growth
of the city. we would not have built
simply for the time being In that
case is was not so much the disad-
vantage of fore or hind sight, as that
we were short sighted in believing
that the city would not grow beyond
it's population at that time, for num-
Der OF years II is most unfortunate
that the present system Is so small
and that the necessity will soon be
upon us to enlarge II to provide for
growth in the future.

There has been much complaint
from the public, because the south
side of Main street, between Third
and Fifth streets is always in a mucky

for that condition is that there is no

order the construction of concrete

Give the hogs plenty of pure water to
drink, no matter how much slop and
milk they have. There are hogs that
never get an opportunity to drink wa
ter, as their owners think the milk and
STOP sufficient for them. This is mis-
take.-Farmers' Review.
After the pigs have been Weaned,
care should be taken in the feeding.
They should not be starved in any de-
gree, but should be so fed that at meal
time they will be in a hurry for their
food Too much feeding clogs the ap-
petite and defeats the end in view.

RADISHES AND PEPPERS.
Crops Which It Will Pay the South
ern Farmer to Cultivate Dur
ing the Winter Time.

In January last | planted Chinese
Giant sweet pepper seed in hotbed; as
pepper plant grow very slowly at first
and as it is not advisable to set them
out before all danger of frost has passed,
| planted the ground intendedfOr them
with turnip radish seed the last OF Janu-
airy, says G. d. Otis, Of Calcasieu county,
La, in Ohio Farmer. These did very
we'll and most of the crop was shipped
to Kansas City in sugar barrels with
about so pounds of ice in each barrel. The
first shipment was made March and the
last April S. They netted $96.SS. lmme-
diately upon clearing the ground of the
radish crop, | set out 40 pepper plants,
quite large by this time. The plants were
set two and one-haIf feet asunder i'll
rows three feet apart, and occupied about
half of the radish ground. A stake was
driven at each plant at once and the
plants tied securely. After the plants
had started growing, | applied small
quantity of commercial fertilizer to
each
The month of May was very dry and
was compelled to water the plants sep
arately, with hose attached to force
pump. Later, when rains came, growth
was fine. At first Planet Jr. single
wheel hoe was used, but when the plants
became too large for this, | used an or
binary garden hoe. AS the plants grew
it was necessary to continue tying them
up, as they are very tender and easily
broken by the wind
About the time the plants began to
fruit | applied a small shoVelful Of we'll
rotted manure to each. AS the season
advanced, the price Of peppers declined,
until l received only six cents dozen.
My last sale which was made November
21, brought total receipts up to $3.50.
The ground is cleared again ana
sowed with mustard, which will be OF III
time to follow the last Of January, 1905,

APiARY OFTEN NEGLECTED.
Wisconsin Correspondent Gives Ex-
PLANTATION of Method of
Keeping Bees.

The condition of the apiary at the
home of my mother on farm in western
Ohio is typical of apiaries on many
farms, says Harry Lathrop, Wisconsin,
in Orange Judd Farmer The farm is in
charge of a younger brother, who dis
likes bees. He has given them nc atten-
ton for several years. They have set
right where they are in the grass over
winter and yet, for the past ten years
the family has had more or less honey
from them, though all undeseryed. Two
years ago, while on visit home, took
off the honey, about 100 pounds, some OF
which is still on hand. | have said to
the folks that, if l was sure l could be
on the ground once each summer or au-
tumn, would attempt to keep some bees
for profit on this place in order TO DEM
onstrate that such thing is possible.
l would prepare a half dozen two
story ten-frame hives OF the standard
langstroth size. These would have a
permanent shell or outer hive, leaving
a fourinch space packed With dry leaves
or planer chips The hives would be
would have a good roof over them. On
top Of the double brood chamber would
be placed queen, excluding honey
board, and above this two supers of full
depth extracting combs.
Good colonies having young, vigorous
queens on all worker combs would be
placed in these hives. | would not eX-
pect them to swarm. and the two supers
of extracting combs l would expect to
accommodate all the surplus honey they
would store during season in TINS
rather poor field. The twO-story brood
chamber allowed the bees for breeding,
when filled with honey would obyiate
the necessity of spring feeding. When
l came each autumn l would extract the
honey from the upper stories, examine
the colonies, requiem where necessary,
and leave them in shape for the next har-
vest; no comb honey would be pro-
duced.
There might not be much profit in
this kind Of bee keeping. Accidents
might happen and conditions arise
which could easily be corrected if the
owner was not 500 miles distant. But
supposing that bees could be made to
pay fair profit on the investment under
such conditions, how much better could
they be made to pay and how much bet
ter care could be given them by enc on
the ground, supposing he was willing to
give them a few spare moments now ana
then.

OIL ON THE TROUBLED SEA
Only Six Gallons Required to Steady
Big Liner During a
Storm.

Six gallons Of oil fed to an angry sea
protected the passengers Of the big
Hamburg-American liner Pretoria from
the fury Of tempest all day long, re-
ports the New. York Herald of late
date. The Pretoria arrived at her dock
in HObOken from Boulogne nearly two
days behind her usual time.
According to Chief Officer LANCER,
the voyage was characterized by sue
cessiCn Of storms from the time the
ship left the French port almost until
Sandy Hook was sighted.
On Saturday night Of that week
the barometer gave a sudden drop,
falling so low that Capt. ScArotter felt
a bit anxious. The wind was blowing
hard from the south, and it increased
in velocity toward morning, when it
suddenly swung Numerically about
the compass and came down from the
north. AS the morning wore on the
force of the gale increased, until by
IL O'Clock it had grown to No. II pro-
portions, or about Is miles an hour.
Despite her great size the Pretoria
gigantic waves like some frail cookie
she'll of a craft and the passengers
were having a thoroughly miserable
time of it. 1t was next to foClhardy
to venture out on the promenade decks,
and the cabin passengers kept to their
rooms or huddled about in disconsolate
groups in the corners Of the compan-
iOnWay.
Capt. SchrOtter, as the sea became
higher, decided it was worth while to
try little coil on troubled waters -
At waste hOle'on either side empty
ing near the water a can containing
oil was placed so as to permit the con-
tents to tricllle down slowly.
The effect was perceptible almost i'm
mediately, according to the ships Off
GERS. Within few minutes the waves
ceased breaking violently over the
bows and were transformed into a long
gentle swell Passengers felt the
change in the ships motion and ven
tured out on deck to find that while
the wind was still blowing as hard as
ever the water around the ship for
some distance appeared to be hardly
affected
The gale Continued until midnight.
and the oil pouring was kept up until
that hour. Yet in spite of the length
Of the storm Chief officer Langen said
not more than six gallons Of the "com-
forter" was doled out to the ocean.

Africans That Are Not Black.

Few people know that there are nearly
10000, 900 Of natives in Central Africa
who are not black, and who do not look
much like the other savages in any way.
These natives have a peculiar yellowish
copper color, and their skulls are much
larger than those Of the negroes. No
body knows any reason for the differ
ence between them and the other Afri-
cans Some scientists think that they
are descendants from European or Asia
tic races that wandered into Africa tens
of thousands of years ago. Othera say
that they are aboriginal inhabitants of
the country and that their color is due
to the fact that they are gradually i'm
proving and growing beyond the negro
type. But these are all guesses. All
that anybody knows with any certainty
is that they are there.
