Striking q Rarpain

A story is told Of St Folk, the
French poet Like many other stu
dents aspiring to the gifts Of this
classic art, he forgot to pay his debts.
His creditors we're larger in proper
ton than the checks received for his
poems Ere long ne found himself in
a pTecariOus condition, but somehow
he managed to evade all creditors
through the exertion Of his caustic
wit One day he set in the BARRIERS
chair with his face 1athered and ready
to be shaved. Suddenly a creditor
approached him and in stentOrian
tones demanded the payment Of a bill
Wont you wait until get a shave 20
inquired the poet in utmost civility.
Certainly" replied the other, pleased
at the prospect Of collecting some
money. St Folk made the barber a
witness to the agreement, then calm
" wiped the lather from his face. He
wore a beard TO his dying day.

Revised Game.

Away with old HOyIe's regulations,
No longer he lays down the laws,
But here are directions for poker
According to rules Of S. Claus:
The reindeer replaces the kitty,
The ante with vagueness is rife,
From five hundred plunks from a hus-
band
To ninety-eight cents for a wife.
Whenever it comes to the discard,
It's easy to bear it in mind
That duplicates i'll are considered
And worse still are three Of a kind.
But here is a shining advantage
Which makes it rank high and
alone
The stockings are filed with such
fervOr
Cold feet are entirely unknown.

Advice from an Old Beet Grower

For the Ordway New Era.
Farmers intending to raise sugar
beets next year should not lose sight
of the fact that in order to get tom
mage sufficient to net them profit
over and above all their expenses, in
work, fall plowing should be resorted
to the earlier the better.
Sugar heets belong to a well.bred
race and of a long lineage and simply
will not respond to careless, slip-shod
methods of farming. 1t has been tried
too often and failed,
There is no other crop that has at
tached to it the same factor of safety
against hail, frosts, etc, nor one that
respons better to intelligent, careful
treatment. Here and there a man
may happen" to make paving crop
in spite of careless work, but it is the
exception and never the rule.
In the old beet countries IS to 20
tons to the acre are the usual results,
and yield of 10 and IL tons and l3
tons should be releg Ated and shelved
as belonging to the earlier history of
the industry before we knew more
about the business as it is the aver
age tonnagc per acre on this side of
the valley has risen in few years
from 9 to II tons per acre.
While every ton above 7 tons can
b. considered profit, over and above
all expenses. why stop at Z, 10 aud II
tons when with proper ,illage of the
soil IS to 20 tons can be grown per
acre.
Fall blowing and careful prepara.
tion of the land with conscientious
and Ps!nstaking punching and thin
ming, seeding and cultivating make
the crop. 1t must be made then /,
can not be made in September and
when we look askance at our harvest
let us 60 BACK little and recall whe
ther we plowed we'll and deep in the
fall, whether we carefully seeded,
punched and thinned, cultivated and
In many Cases, unless injury resulted
from hard halls or frost or heav,
winds, we will recognize the reason
for the shortage.

sAGAR FACTORY FIRE.
Loss Estimated at 100000.

About seven O'Clock Friday morning
fire was discovered in the sugar ware
house of the Rocky Ford sugar facto-
ry, which was not brought under COM
piete control until about 10 o'clock.
The origin of the FIRE is a mystery,
but probably originated from sponta-
neous combustion. Fifteen minutes
previous no smoke was to be seen, but
in an instant it seemed to explode un-
der the piles of sugar and smoke
poured out of every crev,ce between
the sacks SO that in few minutes the
wuole warehouse was filled with smok
SO that no one could go in except for
Il few feet, and then only to hasten
back into fresh air.
The factory hose was connected with
the pumps as soon as possible and an
alarm turned in for the city depart
ment which was on hand promptly and
did excellent work. Six lines of hose
were in use.
The window and doors were all kept
closed in order to confiue the fire and
holes were cut in the roof for the wa
ter to enter. When the fire was got
into control a line of hose was run
into one of the windows, which fin
ished it and drove the smoke from the
room.
The wareroon contained over 60, 900
sacks, with value of about $500. 600,
which must be worked up again before
being fit for use. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.-Rocky Ford
