SUFFER- THIS SUMTER IN COLORADO

Many people put aside all thought of an outing in Colorado because they are accustomed to consider this great est of American playgrounds as one of those impossible things beyond their means. Time was when a visit to the "top of the continent" was a great luxury. as high in price as in altitude. but not SO today. You can spend the Summer or a part of the Summer in Colorado and live as reasonably as you do at home, and the quick service and low tourist and excursion rates afforded via Rock Island lines bring the Rockies within your easy reach.

ABSENT SONS AND DAUGHTERS
 OF OLD KENTUCKY.

"Wherever you have wandered, in- to whatever lands or climes you may have gone to take up your abode, you are now by parental authority sum- moned back to the proud old state that gave birth to you or to your forefathers.
 '.The old dinner horn, that in days Of yore told of the approaching meal, has been taken down from the wall and there issues from it's sonorous and hospitable mouth a trumpet call reaching the remotest corners of the earth and breathing into the ear of every homesick kentuckian the musical and irresistible appeal that he drop all else and forthwith begin his pilgrimage back to his native heath.
 Back to the Old State.
 "A joyous welcome awaits you. AS the gentle spring warns into life the beauties of nature, so will the kindly glances and friendly grasp of your old friends in Kentucky inspire in you, if possible, a greater and ten derer love for the state you once left. Now, therefore, as governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky, ], J. c. W. Beckham, do by these presents and by the authority of the parent, which Kentucky claims over all her children, even unto the third and 'ourth generation, command each and very former Kentuckian, whether sep arated from us by imaginary state ines or broad seas, to come back Gome. If he ho at the blow, the forge. the countne room, the business office IF in whatever employment. let hi.l for the tine cease his work and 70 urn home
 Men, women and children who pos sess the priceless heritage of having d drop of Kentucky blood in their veins must obey these commands and fail not to be with us during this ia n@rl '''

 The Refuse of Life.

Making Beds.

The practice of having beds made in the early morning, though exceedingly tidy, is one which should be dis outraged for it is bad. Constantly we sec a led made half an hour after the sleeper has left the room. wherefore all the cyha !ons from the skin during tho n:~ht are confined beneath the bed is next used. It is an excellent practice and one which ought to be en- couraged in all young people to turn of the clothes of the bed Immediately on rising The mattress. too. should be turned back. so that all may be proper ly aired and quite cold before being remaGe.

Dr. Richard NJ Wood has prepared
a bulletin for the Department of Agri.
culture on "Incubnton ana Incubat-
ors' The summary of his instructions
Is given below. and the bulletin may
be had on application to the Depart
ment at Washington. ID. c.:
Study your incubator. Acauaint
yourself with all its parts. Read the
manufacturers directions for setting
1t up. Set it up carefully and accord
ing to Instructions. Never try to run
an incubator in drafty place. nor near
stove, nor where the sun shines upon
it. Set fertile eggs only. Waste no
effort upon those that are doubtful.
Learn how TO trim and clean a lamp.
Keep the lamps full and tue wick and
tube clean. Avoid smoke. See that
the eggs are clean and dry before set
ting them. Balance all eggs, large end
up. few hours before placing them
in the tray Do not overfill the tray.
Turn every egg the third day. Cool
the eggs every morning. Be sure your
hands are clean when handling eggs.
Test all eggs by the seventh day. Test
again by the eleventh day. Test again
by the fifteenth day. If the air space
is too large. supply moisture; il too
small. put saucer of dry lime in the
room and run without moisture day
or two. DO not expect to learn all
about the air cell the first hatch. You
viii learn that later. Do not disturb
the eggs after the evening of the
eighteenth day. Have a regular hour
for incubator work. DO not tinker too
much with the regulator. Get the ad-
iustment right and Keep it so. Heat
your machine and make your adjust
meut before placing the eggs in the
egg chamber.

With the development of farm ma

convenient to drive and are generally
better handled by such hired help as
are usually employed upon farms.

siXty-acre farm properly. Still. oxen
are very useful upon farms to-day and
may be made n source of profit as
well as being useful fo- much work

viii save the horses time by drawing
manure while they are busy on the

young Farmer boys usually enjoy

men. Oxen are readily shod for road
work by any blacksmith who has the
necessary apparatus. They are con-
fined in sllngs, one foot at time is
! drawn onto n short post and securely
fastened, when the shoes are fitted
and nailed. A shoe is made for each
side OF the hoof, making eight shoes
worn by every OK. The Herefords
make the oxen that are the most pop

designed for oxen should be castrated
before they are two months old. The
operation should be performed by some
one who thoroughly understands 1t.

had successful experience in the work
near by, would advise securing the
services of veterlnary.-B Walker

TaApPeas STILL MAKE MONEY.
Although Our Frontiers Rave Vanished
Fur Receipts Are Larger Than Ever.

The receipts of raw fur in the mar.
ket during the season of 1905-06 are
three times larger than ever before, al
though the country Is now so thickly
settled.
The larger proportion os the furs,
paradoxlcal as 1t may seem. now comes
from. the South and Southwest. Skunk,
coon, mink and opossum constitute the
larger portion of the receipts from that
section, although beaver. otter, fox
wild cat and clvet eat also make up
quite an important part of the re.
ceipts.
Skunk at present are in good demand
and are selling well. Coon are in good
demand, as they are used for fur coats
as well as dyed and initiate great
many articles. Gray and red fox this
season are not selling well, as they are
long haired. and all long haired skins
this year are out of fashion. Mink is
one of the most beautiful native furs
and is selling higher this season than
for many years. They are likely TO
continue in good demand throughout
the season, as the ladies', the real fur
buyers, are partial to the beautiful eff
fects which this fur gives. Muskrat
is very common fur and always sells
at a comparatively low price and Is
likely TO do so this year
The opossum is perhaps our common
est fur bearing animal, but is not
good wearing article when manufac-
tured. Its principal use is for lmltat-
ing the skins of more valuable varie-
ties. There is, though, at all times
ready sale for them. Otter and
beaver are nearly extinct, aud their
skins command very high prices and
are readily sale9ble. Wolf is another
long haired skin and will be very dull
this season.
Many trappers in the South make
good living during the winter catching
fur bearing animals, and many farmer
boys make a good supply OF pocket
money by catching the various animals
and shipping their skins to the fur
markets.
