AS the native inhabitants OF the
warm countries seem to be lacking in
the provident instinct and for the most
part live in the present, so is it also
with some insects and animals. The
honeybee, for instance, makes no
honey in the warm climates, the stor-
ing up instinct seeming to be entirely
wanting. This is due of course to the
fact that this industrious insect is en-
abled to find some sort Of bloom upon
which to work the year around.

Are you waiting with Impotence the
time when the first green buds appear
and the little green tendrils of the vine
creep out In search of something to
climb on? Are you planning how the
back yard can be made not only neat,
but pleasant and inviting? Have you
planned to use the first nice days be-
fore the rush comes on to have the
boxes, barrels and other unsightly
truck carted off, the broken boards in
the walk repaired and the window box
of seeds for the flower garden started?

much valuable information along this

We stopped at home not long since
where rice was served in the place Of
potatoes on account of the high price
of the latter vegetable. The substi
tuition was very good one and sug-
gests that much more could be done in
this line than many people are aware
of. Rice at the ordinary price is cheap
err than potatoes at a dollar odd per
bushel and contains just about as much
nourishment, both being starch goods.

The coming of the first wintry blasts
Is the signal for thousands of people
living in the middle temperate zone to
seek a place where old Jack Frost Is
denied entrance. Some go south to
Florida or New Mexico; others seek
the ever popular Pacific coast and
California, the land of large trees and
fruits, beautiful flowers and Chinese
cooks. Yet with the coming of spring
such travellers for the most part re-
turn once more to their native states,
which have passed through the wintry
siege only to emerge freshened and re-
juvenated to spring forth in bloom and
fruit. AS adversely tends to bring out
the best there is in most men, so the
winter season seems to bring out
things entirely lacking in warm
country.

No kind of labor In the United States
draws such high wages in proportion
to the nature of the work they do as
the hired men on the farms. The wage
of $35 per month, board, room and
washing, is an expense which skins
the profits from many farm.

In these notes from time to time we
have referred to the great Improvement
which it is possible to make in the dirt
roads of the country by treating them
with the drag after every rain, the new
system of road maintenance which is
by its good work sweeping all over the
country like wildfire. Hundreds of
thousands of miles of what have here
tofore been poor dirt roads will be put
under this treatment this season and
the bad road be converted at most
trifling expense into perfect highway
as hard and smooth as any boulevard.

The recent sale of a Shorthorn bul,

Uncle Sam is anxious to improve the
highways of his commonwealth. Last
year he constructed twenty-one model
roads in different sections Of the coun-
try. Macadam, sand and clay, shell
and burnt clay were the materials used.

expensive. Good substantial roads,

We would favor the imposition of a
good round tax on all kinds of fire
arms in this country. The time has
gone by when men had to shoot wild
life in order to live or when they have
to go armed to protect their lives and
property. A twenty dollar tax on guns
and pistols would at once prevent one
half of all the intentional and acciden-
tai homicides, which are of such fire.

things which can be reached by taxa
ton which cannot be touched by legis-
lation. Tax the guns out of existence,
and legalize fist fights for the settle
ment of personal difficulties.

director of the Union Pacific yester-
day, word was received from J. G..
Ferguson, general agent of the
Union Pacific at Denver, that 300
refrigerator cars would be sent to

of potatoes. 1t appears, however,
that these cars have been promised
the produce men here for some time
and the response so quickly is really
only CO. incidence with the tele-
gram. The first lot of about twenty
five cars is expected here next Mon
day, and will continue daily at that
rate until the entire number of 300
cars has been provided, when the

visited Greeley few weeks ago and

city and the way the Commercial
club did things attracted them so
that they were ready to put their
money in Greeley. The people of
