Planting Onions at the Marion Farms.

Planting Onions at the Marion Farms
The Marion Farms are busily en-
gagged this week in planting onions
While on visit to the farms a few
days ago and in conversation with
the manager, Mr.. Wayter L. Taylor
he informed us that they would plant
more extensively this year than they
did last. That he will plant eighteen
acres this year. He said that he
had received a letter from his COM
mission merchant in New York pay
ing the farm a very fine compliment
on their splendid onions. He said
that they had gotten disguised with
Florida onions in the past few years
but that since receiving the Marion
Farms onions the past season they
were considered the finest in New
York markets and that he hoped for
big onion shipments for the Marion
Farms the coming season.

Mr.. Fred Weber, one of our old
and valued subscribers living at Sill
yer Springs Park, placed on our edi-
torial table Saturday morning two
bottles. one containing a most excell-
ent and fine favored wine manufac-
tured by himself from his own vine
yard and not being a connosieur our
selves we had it tested by a gentle
man, who claims TO be an expert and
who has travelled over many states
and he pronounced it "all right" The
other bottle contained syrup made
from the Japanese sugar cane and it
tasted fine TO us. 1t is thick and of
splendid color. We see no reason why
the cultivation of this cane should not
be a profitable industry in this coun-
ty. The tops of this cane, we are
told, make an excellent forage and
we are glad TO see our farmers branch
ing out and making tests of different
things suitable to our soil and eli
mate. We return our thanks to Mr..
Weber for his remembrance of us.

THIS AND THAT

The season is now ripe for few
choice jokes on the spring poet.
It begins to look as though even
divorce would not prove any
antidote for marriage.
The bulk of the talk about limit
ing private fortunes seems to come
from those who would not be affect
ed by any sort of reduction.
The only thing remaining in
connection with the Olympian
games is for the English losers to
charge the American winners with
professionalism.
While the Interstate Commerce
Commission is about it, they might
ascertain the differential on muck
rakes and whitewash brushes from
outside points to Washington.
There was some question with
the authorities whether Maxim
Gorky would be allowed to land
here. But there will be no ques-
ton at all about his being allowed
to sail.
There is no need of worrying
about what the president is going
to do after he gets out of the
White House. What is wanted is
someone who will guess what he
will do before he gets out of it.

Denver Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards.
May Market here last week
was active rather more so than
preceding week. Supply was fair
and demand good for anything
desirable. Prices show little ma
terial change from a week ago ON
anything. Good steers We're want
ed and moved readily but buyers
prefer light weight kinds. Best
on sale brought S4.I5 last week.
They were corn feds from Eastern
Colorado. Others went at 81. 10
with bulk of good ones at 81 30 and
better. Cows were fairly active
but prevailing high prices curtail
demand to some extent as packers
prefer steers at the prices. Move
ment, however. was active on those
here with tops at $40 and bulk of
the good COWS at $500 to S4.OO.
Medium and half fat COWS a little
slow. Strong demand for stock
cows. Bulls and veals unchanged
from week ago and demand good.
Feeder and stocker trade quiet as
few were offered. Demand is good
for choice light stockers, and heavy
feeders are also selling to good
advantage if quality is right as
several dealers have orders. Prices
closed firm.
The first southern cattle of the
season arrived last week and from
now on the movement will be active.
In most sections southern cattle
are reported to be in excellent con
dition. Those here last week were
very good but they were not offered
on this market. About $50 cars
are expected here this week, and
some trading will doubtless be
done as n number will be offered
here. Most of the old-time stock
men however, will not put in their
steers before the Is to Goth of May
as they are looking for some storms
| during the first half of the month
on account of the very mild winter
Just past. \ large number of the
cattle going through here this year
will be dipped, branded or vaccinat-
ed at this point on account of the
excellent facilities here for doing
this work.
