The strongest team In Colorado

The strongest team In Colorado at
the present time seems to be the
school of Mines. Last Saturday they
won from the Denver university team
by a score of II to 0. This is the only
Colorado team which has yet to be de-
feated. The goal line of the Mines
has not been crossed. They play the

The Colorado university team lasr
Saturday played the Colorado Agg les
from FIT. Collins, Col. The score was .
to O. This makes the third game for
the Boulderites which has resulted ia n
similar score. Early in the season they
played the Alumni team to 0. The
Washburn game also resulted in the
same score. In the game last SatU :
day, Reid, the fullback, who was in
jured in the game here, played the
whole game at fullback. Trudgian, the
quarterback of the team, was the star
of the game.

To st. Louis university last Satur-

by the one sided score Of 81 to 0. In
the game the st. Louis men tried
nearly seventy different plays. How
ever, the men have not been able as
yet to work the plays off as fast as
they should and this is causing the
followers of the team no little con-
Germ as they have several hard games
on the schedule yet to be played.

AS a result of the game last Satur-
day between K. Z. and Washburn, the
spirits of the JayhaWker squad have
sunk several degrees. The team at the
present time is training hard for the
Nebraska game which occurs at Lin
coin Saturday. Early in the season the
dope for this game was pretty strong
in favor Of Kansas, especially after tee
defeat of the Cornhuskers by Ames.
But with the low score which Minnesota
made against Nebraska coupled with
the to score of Kansas last Saturday
the dope does not allow very much FOR
Kansas.

THE LAST MIRACLE
For a thousand years the good proverb
ran,
There is nothing so free as air.
And nothing. on earth. or inside OF it,
So plentiful everywhere.
It covered the earth like a shoreless sea.
Without any isles or shoals,
To the depth of fifty miles or more
From the equator to the poles.
It could ret be cornered, or bought. or
sold,
No chance for a graft or theft,
Enough for all to the end of time
With oceans of good air left.
But the goo dold proverby has gone the
way
OF every good thing on earth.
And been laid away with the other lies
That have plagued us from our birth.
For the eastman wears a sardonic smile
As the miracle comes to pass,
And sells US a dollars worth of air

1.-THE Clansman," by Thomas Dixon, Jr..
will play return engagement e the Academy
of Music, Baltimore, beginning on Monday
night, October l, for one week with Wednes-
day and Saturday malinees. The phenomenal
success of this remarkable play last season
was such that it is generally referred TO as the
most talked of play during the past forty
years. Dealing as il does with probably the
most dramatic period 10 American history, i
is permeated with an emotional interest which
carries its appeal TO both North and South,
and it has been witnessed with almost frantic
enthusiasm in all of the large cities Of both
sections. Whether the spectator agrees with
the authors views on the negro question hAs
no influence on the enjoyment of the play as
a play Every auditor Is held firmly IN the
grip OF the thrilling situations founded 90 the
facts of history.
Although the scenes are laid in South Caro-
lima there is not Que line of sectionallsm in the
play, not one word TO show prejudice against
the North. Rather the reverse Is true, for the
heroine, who discloses all Of the most admira-
BILE qualities Of the noblest W0manhood, Is a
Northern girl.
Ii is undeniabIy true that Mr. Dixon play
presents the race problem in powerful man
ner, and his conviction that his message 10 the
North on this question would meet with care
ful though; and consideration has been iusu.
fed by the reception Of the play aud by the
enormous sale Of the novels. The Leopard 5
Spots and "The Cansman upon which the
drama is founded.
The era depicted is that Of Reconstruction
in the South. when the members Of the ku
Klux Khan wresied the government of the
Southern States from the illiterate negroes
and the rapacious Carpetbaggers. The mys
terious Khan is shown upon the stage, its habit
and ceremonial revealed. in picturesque and
awe.inspiring manner. Thro' the drama runs
the thread Of 3 delightful love story between a
gallant Southern cavalier aad beautiful
daughter of the North, aud the whole j.
frightened by bounteous supply Of genuine,
old fashioned darkey fun.

WEAVING THE COLT
Practical Advice From a Veteran
Handler of Horses.

About the most critical period in the
life of young horses is at weaving time.
For those who are about to separate colts
from their dams the following advice in
Farmers Advocate is of interest, and es-
pecially so because it comes from the life
long experience of so skilled horseman as
DIR. j. c. Curryer, who says: eve have
weaned as many as twenty colts at one
time and got along nicely by making busl-
ness Of this matter and attending to it as
ANYTHING of importance should be- We
always weaned the colts in the ~orning,
so we could visit with them anc watch
every detail all day, but were very careful
to pair the colts off evenly as to size and
age, 50 that if any difficulties arose-and
sometimes it happens-the scrap would be
on as even terms as possible, to prevent a
domineering spirit on the part Of one and
a coward and underling always on the part
of the other.
1--WE never offered the colts anything to
eat until late in the day, and then took a
little warm sweetened skim milk in shall
low pan and went into the box stalls and
offered each something to drink. This
takes a little time, but not half as much as
most people suppose-not half the time 1t
would require to feed as many calves the
first time. Why, | would rather take the
Job of twenty colts than one calf. It Is
best to hold out the pan for the colts to
come and drink, but if they have not been
in the habit of drinking from pail they
will generally pay no attention to the offer
even if they are very thirsty. Hold the
pan under the mouth Of one, and with a
sudden motion upward one can dip the colt :
nose into the warm milk and make it
dodge away But no matter. Try the
other while the frs; Is looking anxiously to-
ward you, with the result generally that
YOU will have both driaking before five
minutes
IF neither has any interest in this mat
ter, move on to the next box and try them,
and if it should happen that none Of them
takes hold don worry about it, but pro
vide a little nice sweet hay a very little
bran and oats and leave them alone until
morning, when it Is doughnuts to marbles
that every one viii take hold eagerly and
drink. Sometimes it happens that one will
drink and the other stand back ;imidly
but as soon as the frst begins to drink freely
the other viii come up and make a des-
perate effort to get its full share, making
it case Of help yourself or get left.

Pig Feeding in Ne braska.

Pig feeding experiments carried on at
the Nebraska experiment station with corn
and alfalfa hay show that the cheapest
gains were made by means of corn and
chopped alfalfa In this combination the
greatest gains were made where the ration
was three fourths corn and one fourth al
falfa, but where the alfalfa was raised on
the farm and there was no particular need
Of fastening the growth Of the pigs it was
found that cheaper gains were made with
one-half alfalfa and one-half corn

came from the United States the other
fourth coming from Canada The cattle.

a Poor Place For the Cooler.

II Is not uncommon 10 find a milk cooler
hung in or near the COW stable, where the
air Is laden with dust, dirt, foul odors aud
possibly disease germs, which readily pass
into the milk. The best dairy practice
requires that the milk shall b. removed
from the stable as quickly as possible after
it is drawn, preferably to building or
room independent Of the barn, where j:
can be aerated with pure air and cooled at
once in clean surroundings.

Wash MIX Vessels In Cold Water

Much has been said lately about how to
keep milk vessels sweet so that milk viii
not sour SO quickly in them, but | have not
once seen the prime remedy mentioned,
which is to first wash all milk out of the
vessels with cold water before using hot
water and soap in them. The cold water
removes all the bacteria with the milk,
while hot water sets them and causes them
to adhere to the sides of the vessels, and as
soon as new milk is put into the vessels the
bacteria starts growing and soon sours it.

IMPORTANT TO
FARMERS J!

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGore, Md. 10 all points
on the W. NJ. r. r. This is of great impor
lance to you, as it puts you i'll position to
get the best land improver and crop grower
on the market at very reasonable prices.
Our lime is shipped hundreds of miles and
into ten (lO) different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture the best lime
on the market because we have the best
formation of limestone in the East. And we
have had experience enough to know how to
proportion the different kinds or stratas OF
rock so as to produce the best agricultural
lime manufactured.
Ten years ago our lime was used by the
farmers along this road in large quantities,
but the high rates instituted made the price
prohibitive. Very reasonable rates are now
in effect and we are lookingi forward to build
ing up very large trade along this line. We
would like to correspond with all farmers who
desire to make more money by improving
their farms and growing better crops.
