Thomas Walsh's home is 1920 New

from Tipperary, Ireland, in 1870, as a
poor boy of 10 and settled at once in
Colorado All he touched turned to
riches. There are few weather. mine
owners than Walsh in the entire coun-

schools, he made a close study in his
young manhood of metallurgy, min

Contrary to the general opinion in
Mexico and abroad, President Diaz is
not very wealthy man. Intimate
friends of the Mexican executive. who
have knowledge of his affairs, declare
that his fortune does not exceed ST.
100000. He owns a plantation in the
state of Oaxaca, some property in the
City of Mexico and house in Paris
This latter was purchased during his
first term as president of Mexico,
when he feared that he might be COM
PEELED to leave the country hurriedly
and seek refuge in foreign land. The
salary of President DiaZ is now $50

only 100000 and in the early days of
his administration. when Mexico was

THE FARM AND RANGE
Colorado State Fair.

The lowest rates ever offered by the
railway companies for the state fair
have been established for the week
OF September 11th to 18th.
These rates ought to bring to Pueblo
in state fair week the largest crowd
this city has ever seen within its bor-
ders. provided-and this we have no
doubt will be properly looked after
the fair and the rates are suitably ad-
vertised throughout the state.
Especially favorable rates have been
made from the Arkansas valley, east
and west OF Pueblo, from the San Luis
valley. and from Denver, Colorado
Springs and Trinidad and Walsenburg.
and from these regions the bulk Of the
state fair visitors will doubtless be
drawn, although we shall also expect
large numbers from the western slope.
The people that live in Colorado
cities-and far too large a proportion
OF the people Of this state do live in
cities-are slow to appreciate the
transformation that is taking place in
the Colorado rural districts. There
are many regions of the state where
one may ride for miles through farm
ing country that is in nowise inferior
from any point Of improvement to the
best farming regions of eastern states,
and this is true not of any particular
section or county. but Of many coun-
ties in all sections.
The improvement in farm building.
in roads, In orchards. in shade trees
and lawns, and especially in live stock
within the last half dozen years has
been marvellous. And short of long
and expensive journey through the
state, there is no other way of gaining
such a good idea of Colorados agricul-
tural progress as by visit to the state
fair at Pueblo.
The fair itself has kept steady pace
with the development of Colorado agri
culture, and it will be better and bigger
this year than it has ever been before
mainly for the reason that Colorado
agriculture is better and bigger this
year than 1t was last year or any other
preceding year.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Luther Burbank, the wizard of San

man who revolutionized plant life. He
has brought about the smooth-leaved
cactus and the seedless raisin.
Burbank plum, grown at Palisades,
Mesa county, is one Of the features of
the exhibit. 1t is not exactly stone

plum is larger than the ordinary kind,
tastes sweeter and has the aroma of

fame in apple growing districts in this

DENVER MARKETS :

Denver Union Stock Yards. Aug. IS.
ALL markets reported stronger
tone on good cattle last week with the
common grades about steady with the
preceding week. On the local mar
ket the supply was rather light and
confined mostly to COWS. Good fat
steers have been scarce and were
strong tc Is cents higher than the pre-
ceeding week. Packers are wanting
some good steers and will use all they
can get this week. Cows were plenti-
full, but nothing SO very good. Corn
fed cows sold up to $2:S5, with best
grass stun at $3.50, and the bulk
around 1925 to S2.65. Bulls sold
strong ot $1.75 to $2.25 and veal calves
were also stronger. the best bringing
3425. with the bulk around $500. The
feeder and stocker demand was better
than the week before. but still not as
strong as dealers would have liked.
The supply was light and all offerings
sold readily at strong prices. Prac-
tically ali the steers offered last week
went to the country, very few being
forwarded to the other markets. Coun.
try buyers were quite plentiful and
good trade is expected from now on.
Hogs show very little change from
week ago and tops are still selling
around 5000, with the range down to
$5.S5. The supply last week was light
and packers are in good shape to take
all that come this week.
The sheep trade was active to the
extent of the supply. About all the ar
rivals were offered and sold here,
prices at the close being 10 to Is cents
higher than the preceding week. Some
Utah lambs sold at $6.75 and were
from the same bunch as some which
went at $G.40 about two weeks ago.
Ewes and wethers also sold well. Feed
ers continue very scarce and very few
showing up on any of the markets, as
about everything available is being
contracted in the country.

About 100000 sheep in Las Animas
county and over 1000 head in Huer-
fano county will have been dipped un-
der government directions by the first
of September, according to the state
ment of DR.. P. J. Foreman, govern
ment stock inspector of this district.
DR.. Foreman stated that OF the sheep
already dipped. about $4,000 were in.
fected with scabies and had to be
dipped twice.
Lamb buyers in northern ~orado
are having great difficulty obtaining
feeders for next years market Five
hundred thousand sheep were fattened
in northern Colorado last year and the
demand for feeders this year is fully
as great. The lamb crop was good this
spring and there are plenty of sheep in
the north and southwest. 1t is likely
that the number of sheep on feed in
the Greeley district this winter will
exceed 125,000.
The government has begun an inter
esting series of experiments in winter
irrigation on its farm a mile east of
Cheyenne. Water has been turned
on a tract Of virgin ground, which will
be soaked frequently during the win
ter and cultivated according to dry
farming methods. Next spring crops
will be planted and an effort will be
made to raise them without irrigation
during the spring and summer months.
The purpose OF the experiments is to
determine whether or not land can be
| irrigated during the winter months,
! when water is plentiful, and made to
produce crors during the summer
months without irrigation, when water
| is scarce.
That the Arkansas valley will grow
| beautiful crops by the dry farming
| process has been demonstrated this
season by Frank Murgatrod, who owns
little farm at Brewster, west Of here,
says the Florence correspondent of the
Denver Republican. He has grown
corn eight feet high and the ears are
nearly two feet long. He continually
cultivates his ground and uses plenty
of fertilizer. but no water. When his
alfalfa burns brown he spreads an ex.
ira quantity of manure, and saves the
growth. John Skies, farming at Glen
dale, has grown the banner corn this
year by irrigation. The stalks are ten
| feet high "nd the ears run from one
to three to stalk and are Of unusual
size.
