Stock Feeding in Colorado.

RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years, but in no
previous year has the advancement
been SO marked as in rhe year Just
ended The phenomenal advance in
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business that
promises to last. Last year il is esti-

the present season the number Will
exceed ! ,2o0. 900. The profits last sea

hoped that the profits Will be as large.
but the increased price paid for the
sheep and lambs on the range, makes
this problematical. Thus far, condi-
tions in the feed lots have been ideal
Prices on the market are higher than
ever and give every promise OF con1in

fully as large as last year.
The greatest advance in sheep feed
ing has been in the San Luis valley
year ago the number of sheep on
feed in that section was estimated al
80, 900. This year it is more than dou

made to provide market in Denver
for all the sheep fattened in the state
will still further boom tits branch of
the feeding business. as one of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes a heavy shrinkage ard

MARGARET CARNEGIE'S PETS

Little Margaret Carnegie, the demure
and retiring daughter of the million
aire philanthropist, seems to take after
her mother. Like the latter, she is
reticent and bashful. She has the silent
manner of an English child when in the
presence of elders. Thus far she has
not developed the, characteristic push
fulness of her father and does not domi-
nate the household after the fashion Of,
American children of a certain set.
She seems to be more at home among
her pets than anywhere else. Perhaps
her 81 shy and retiring disposition &C.
| counts for this. Chief among her dumb
friends is an enormous Persian cat with
tiger eyes and Dundreary whiskers. The
that is SO large that 1T looks like a
stunted tiger. 1t has a superb coat of
fur, which gives the little animal
wealth of comfort, much needed in the
cold climate of northern Scotland.
The two pets which give the heiress
| of Skibo castle the best. air and sun
| light and exercises are a pet lamb and a
shaggy Shetland pony The former is not
alittle lamb like Mary's. I think Mar
garet Carnegie does not like tiny ami
mails as pets. In the days when she had
dolls-talking dolls, singing dolls, all
sorts of dolls-none Of them was small
Furthermore, it is on record that she
fancied an elephant, and her father
bought it for her and then she pre-
New York. Her cat is the biggest Of
the Persian species, and her pony the
! largest Of the Shetland breed.
The little heiress is a perfect water
| nymph. The marvellous marble bathing
basin in the grounds of Skibo castle has
| done its work. Herein this salt-sea
foam, heated to comfortable tempera-
ture, she splashes and swims siren-like.
Should she continue her swimming ex-
ercises the day is not far distant when

able to win one Of her fathers hero
Lately little Margaret plays! much at
Russian games. These were sent to
her by the president of the Slavonic
society of Moscow after he had paid a
visit to Skibo castle. 1t seems that the
toys are made by Russian peasants and

eft Of the poor, so that Margaret by
her encouragement of Russian games
comes to the assistance Of the suffering
| peasant families.

anything written about her daughter.

VALUABLE PATENT :.

A villager in Nebraska hired a stran-
ger to saw his wood, as the story goes.
Presently the stranger confessed his
reason for his poverty. He had spent
his substance working out an invention
for keeping horses off the barbwire
fie1ncses45 Such device would be useful in
a country where 9valuable horses come
home gashed and. torn, and presently
the villager' paid $4,000 for the right to
sell The invention in Nebraska. The
sample was sent later. It was a sign
board to be hung on the fence, and
read as follows: -. =,

With the signboard came pair of
spectacles for 'the'E1se of nearsighted
