Sheep Had Wooden Leo

Bucyrus, GA sheep with a wooden
leg is attracting great deal of atten-
ton at the home of Ira Quantance in
Dallas township. The sheep has learn
ed to manipulate its wooden member
as Wen as man. During a storm
early this year the sheep was struck
by lightning, its foot and part of the
leg was torn off. AS the animal was
valuable and was injured in no other
way, Mr.. Quaintance concluded to
make wooden leg and foot for It..
The artificial limb was covered with
wool and so well does the sheen use
its false leg that, except for a linn.

ORGANIZATION NEEDED.

The value of the farmers institute
held here last week cannot altogether
be estimated in dollars and cents,
and there is no way of ascertaining
lust how much the good information
distributed will be allowed to enter
into practice by the farmers. There
can be no doubt, however, about the
benefit being worth many times the
cost to the community, as this was
slight. There is no business on
earth in which the chance of success
is better than that Of farming, but
ON the other hand there are few, if
any lines Of business. where there
are SO many elements that must be
reckoned with in making success.
With shrewdness, and the right
technical knowledge, however, the
business becomes an ideal one.
There are three main elements of un-
certainty to be considered: Weather
conditions, insects and other pests,
and markets. In this country where
the farmer has the controlling of the

PUT OUT THE PIPE.

The business men of Greeley have
enjoyed some of the pleasantest
gatherings in the history of the town
since the organization of the Com
mercial Club, and the meetings
should not alone be continued, but
an effort made to make these even
larger. THERE'S, however, matter,
very unimportant. apparently, that
may do a great deal to make the
meetings unpopular. 1t is the ex-
cessive use of tobacco after the ban
quet. 1t would not be difficult to
pick out at least dozen as good men
as will be found in the club, who
have stopped attendance at the meet
ings simply because it is torture to
them to sit through the couple of
hours discussion after the banquet,
because not alone is the excessive
smoking offensive to them, but may
be actually injurious to health.
1t may be thoughtlessness on the
part of the smokers, but this does
not make it any the more pleasant
for those who do not smoke. There
are fully as many non-smokers in the
club as smokers, and probably half
of the latter simply use the weed at
that time in self defense. 1t can
not therefore be urged that smoking
is done for the greatest good to the
greatest number. 1t should not
offend any member of the club to
have smoking cut out at the ban
quets, as there are plenty of offen-
ders in this respect not to make the
matter personal. We hope to see the
house committee or the directorate
take up the question and see If some
thing cannot be done to mitigate the
trouble. Otherwise, we may look
for the greater part of the club to
eventually go up in smoke. The
membership is none too large now,
but it will surely be smaller by next
year on account of the smoke, If
something is not done about it. So
| long as the club must meet in rather
small and close quarters, smoking
should be cut out altogether.

A TIMELY DEATH.

The Denver Post paper mill has
permanently closed its doors, and
will be dismantled and the machi-
merry shipped east. The Tribune is
heartily glad of it. Not because it
wishes any harm or loss to befall
the mills proprietors, but because
every ton of Colorado-made print
paper means the destruction of sew
eral healthy, lusty, young spruce
trees, and Colorado has no trees to
spare. The Post, in a whimpering
way, lays the blame for the failure
on Senator Patterson, because Of his
refusal to patronize the Post paper
mill. If this be true, an impartial
reader of the Post could scarcely
blame Mr.. Patterson, in view of the
way the Post rubs it into him, in
season and out. 1t is surmised that
the real reason for the shutdown is
because government forest reserve
agents were so vigilant that no tim
ber could be had from government
land to keep the mill running.
The cause of the shutdown doesn't
concern the public; the fact that a
good many thousand growing trees
will thereby be spared from destruc-
tion should be source of gratitica-
tion to every thinking Coloradoan.

water supply for his crops, the first
of these is minimized. The second
is to large extent being solved by
the agricultural department expert
ment stations, and to the Importance
Of the third the farmer is gradually
awakening. In this section the
potato crop is the only one that pre-
sents any serious problem in the
marketing question. The enormous
bulk of the crop, and its splendid
profits when the right conditions are
found has made it too important
factor in the community to ever let
it lose its supremacy in the provision
markets. Carelessness, or If they
will pardon the expression, ignorance
of the real relation of the grower to
the consumer is endangering the
supremacy Of the Greeley potato.
The trouble is that the farmer is
simply growing the potato that will
give him the greatest tonnage, re-
gardless of whether or not that is
what the best paying customers
want. Many good market has been
lost to manufacturers by not study
ing carefully enough the wants of
the trade.
With the right kind of coopera-
tion and organization Of the farmers
of this district better class of pota-
toes could be put on the market and
demand better price. The poorer
stock could be used in starch making.
Not only could the farmer make
fully as much money in this way, as
to sell all Of his potatoes to the
trade, and draw the price of an in
ferior article, but we would hold the
market against the world. That is
the main point. Never let some
other section deliver better article,
even If we have to sort our stock
much closer than heretofore. Only
by the closest organization can this
be accomplished.

ARE INVESTIGATING
Committee Here After Assessor
7. C. Wylie's Scalp

c. p. Link, assessor of Park
county, and A. e. Howe, assessor Of
Boulder county, were in Greeley last
Friday and Saturday checking up the
work of Assessor j. G. Wylie. The
two are members of committee
with A. +. Strachan, assessor OF Ell
Paso county. who were appointed at
a recent meeting of the various as
SCISSORS of the state, to 60 over the
state and secure data on the methods
and basis of assessment employed in
the various counties. The idea is to
see If some uniform basis of assess
ment cannot be reached for all the
counties. The committee, after ex-
amining all the county assessors
books will 60 over the work of the
state board of equalization, and see
how their work of assessing corporate
property harmonizes with that in
the counties. The state board hopes
to win out to the extent of consider
able more revenue to the state, and
the various assessors hope that it
will mean higher valuation upon
corporate property.
The committee is doing a thor
ough work. Their method is to go
over the town, pick out certain
pieces of property, make an estimate
of the value and then compare this
with the valuation put on by the
assessor. The members also go to
the county clerks office and pick out
sales, to ascertain the purchase price
of property that had changed hands.
They also 60 to real estate men for
estimates on property and then COM
pare it with the assessors books.

pie generally are satisfied that the

Roads Investigated.
The State Geological Survey
Studying the Conditions
of the Highways.

The State Geological Survey is
Systematically studying the condi-
ton of the roads of the state, togeth-
er with the method used in building
them and keeping them in repair.
1t is taking up this investigation for
the purpose of spreading as widely
as possible the knowledge of how
to build roads properly and how to
care for them in the most economic
al and intelligent manner. Partic-
ular attention is being paid to the
common dirt roads.
Letters enclosing list of ques-
tons concerning the roads in his
township will be sent to each town
clerk in few days. 1t is important
that complete set of data such as
these questions ask for should be in
the hands of the Survey as soon as
possible. Any person interested
can then find where the best meth
DDS of road work in any county are
being used, and any advice the Sur
vey may be asked for will be based
on complete knowledge of condi-
tons which would be difficult to OBJ
tain in any other manner.
Such an investigation as the Geo
logical Survey has started must be
of the greatest value. 1t is evident to
anyone who considers the question
that much of the money spent on
country roads is wasted, not will
fully wasted, only ignorantly, vast
ed nevertheless. The bad places
are "fixed" and every spring or fall
only to be ready to swallow up
more money and labor as soon as
the next wet spell is ended. There
is over a million dollars spent an
nually upon the roads Of the state
by people who know but very little
of the fundamental principles of
bodybuilding, and as consequence
much of it is wasted. If the people
of the state were to spend mil
lion dollars in any other way they
would insist on wise, economical
management. There is no reason
why dirt roads should not be pass
able at all seasons of the year and
afford much more use and pleasure
than they do at present to those
who drive over them if the funda-
mental principles are observed by
those who have them in charge.
What is first needed is not more
money and labor on the roads so
much as the proper use of that
which is already being expended.
1t is the purpose of the Geological
Survey to put itself in a position to
furnish information as to the ways
of getting the best results out of the
money the people are already put
ting into their roads, and in this
way enable them to secure better
roads without adding greatly to
their present expenditures.
The Survey will be glad to hear
from anyone interested in this work
concerning local conditions.
