BoffIe-Fed Trees.

Science has recently learned a good
deal that was previously unknown
about the anatomy of a tree, and espe-
cially about the circulatory system of
the great plant, says the Technical
World Magazine. In order that ii shall
be healthy. 1t is as necessary for
tree to have good circulation as for
a man. But hitherto nobody has real
lied the activity of this function in the
tree-an activity sufficiently evidenced
by the fact that chemical substances in
jected into cottonwoods were detected
in the sap of the topmost twigs, 80 to
40 feet above the bottle, within 10
hours.
Some recent experiments at the
North Dakota experiment station have
had for their object merely the feeding
of poorly young trees, which,
when supplied with bottle filed at
frequent intervals, appeared to suck
in sustenance at a rapid rate. So far,
indeed, is this the case that II has been
found possible to regulate to some ex-
tent the growth of young trees by such
means, retarding their development or
making il more rapid as might be de.

Feeding Cattle without Hog..

My experience of twenty-seven years

Picking Geese.

1t is all right TO pluck old geese when
their feathers are ripe and begin to
mott, which will occur about this time,
and if only the feathers that come easy
are plucked 1t is beneficial and not in
furious to them. 1t is poor policy to
pick geese more than once year, ard
not advisable to pick the goslings at all.
In plucking goose, draw stocking
over its head to avoid being bitten.
Do not pick the feathers that cover the
wing butts, as it will cause the wings
to drop, and means lots of trouble for
the goose. Do not pick feathers grow
ing in the back, or the down on any
part of the body. 1t would make nice
pillows, but let 1t be. 1t is enough to
pick the down from those killed for
market.

Cost and Results of Arsenate Spray.
As result of spraying experiments
at the Illinois experiment station, it
was found that four times spraying
with arsenate of lead at a cost of sew
enteen cents tree, increased the yield
of the apple orchard about one-half
and the average size of the fruit about
one-fifth, and SO improved the quality
of the apples that they were worth two
and One-half TO three times as much
as If the orchard had not been sprayed.
Orchards in the section indicated are
much infested with the apple curculu
and the spraying was successful In de-
stroying these. Experiments at the
same station with various washes for
destroying the San Jose scale included
all the common mixtures and various
patented preparations, but it was con-
Guided that the best and cheapest mix
ture is the common lime and sulphur
wash prepared by boiling. The mixture
applied in March was much more effec-
tive than when applied in midwinter.

pie to celebrate it in a befitting man
ner:
State OF Colorado, Executive Chamber,
Denver.
Freedom has been the battle-cry of
the ages. The people of every nation
have had to fight for their liberties
against foes from within and from
without. Each has had an emblem to
lead 1t, going before, pointing the way
in the fierce struggle for right and
justice.
Our nation has the Stars and stripes
for its emblem and every true Ameri-
can is proud of the glorious achieve
ments which have been attained under
this standard. Our flag is respected
at home and abroad. 1t stands for love
of God, liberty, loyalty to country and
reverence for the home, all sacred in
the hearts Of the American people.
1t is therefore proper that day
should be set apart as Flag Day, for
the purpose of calling to mind the his
tory OF the past and in preparing the
children of to-day for the duties of to-
morrow in order that high standard
Of government may be maintained in
our land.
Now therefore I, Jesse F. McDon-
aid, governor of the state of Colorado,
pursuant to the authority vested in me
by law, do hereby set apart Thursday,
June IA, 1906, as Flag Day, and do call
upon the people of this state to cele-
brate the day in a befitting manner by
display of our flag upon their places
OF residence and business houses, and
do ask that, in SO far as possible. the
day be observed as holiday and par
ticularly that the school children OF
the state participate in the observance
OF the day by proper exercises.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
OF the state to be affixed, at Denver,

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The 10
cal market was active last week. as re-
ceipts Of native cattle were not heavy
and the demand good. Eastern mar
kets were rather dull, but prices here
closed 10 to 20 cents higher on good
beef steers. and market is now fully
steady with the high time two weeks
ago. Cows were in light supply and
prices firm under good demand for
the choice kinds. Common kinds were
slow and market quiet. Feeder and
stocker trade was very limited, as sup
ply of steers showing quality was light.
Prices closed firm Notwithstanding the
fact that eastern markets We're 10 to
20 cents lower and the demand re-
ported light. Best Colorddo-fed fat
steers sold to the packers at $i.30 to
$40 with the commoner grades down
to So. so. Fancy bulls sold up to $3.50.
but bulk of trading was done at $2.l5
to $315. Neals scarce and unchanged.
Little business was done in Southerns.
The receipts of this class of cattle
were large, but very few offered here,
as most of them We're billed through.
A very good grade is expected in this
week, as offerings will be more liberal.
The hog demand is much better than
week ago, as receipts have been lin
tied during the past week. Prices
closed little higher, with tops selling
at sG.40 to s6.42k.
Sheep demand is very strong here.
but few of any kind coming Prices
closed higher in sympathy, with the
