In Swabia and Hesse, the children

grows out Of the fact that the hare is

also from the old belief that Frigga,
the goddess who looked after children,
always was attended by hares as her

connection is that of W. 3. Forbes OF
Longlnont, Colo, who the Post tells
us is the most extensive farmer IN
Colorado. Longmont is the center OF
one of the best irrigation districts in
the. state. and Mr. Forbes has made
as much money as any one farming
lands under the ditch. Strange as the
statement may sound. however, he
prefers dry farming" claiming that
there is more money in it. He has
been a dry farmer" for seven years,
and has never yet experienced a crop
failure, although he went through the
dry years of 1901 and 1903 when the
rainfall was but $40 and $50 respect
lively. In 1905 he farmed more than
4, 900 acres of land, without a drop OF
irrigation water, and last years oper-
ations were still more extensive.
The possibilities of dry land farming
are at least as great, if not greater

COULD MUSTER LARGE ARMY.
limited States Can Put Thirteen Mil
lion Men In the Field.

The report of Major General Aims
worth, feiltary secretary of the United
States army, provides some interesting
information. The New York World
says: This report shows that there
are more than 100000 men in the
United States available for military
service. About 112,0 900 are organized in
State militia. The regular army, as
organized under the act of 1901 consists
OF 66, 1856 officers and men, exclusive of
the hospital corps and provisional
corps of some 5000 Philippine scouts.
After the Revolution Congress re-
duced the Continental army to eighty
men. with no officer above the rank
Of captain. BY 1888 it had been in
creased to 595 men commanded by
Lieut.. Col. and Brevet Brig. .-Gen. Har-
mon. Around that nucleus the regular
army has grown. Nine years ago, at
the outbreak of the war with Spain,
the United States army consisted of
about 5000 men and officers. In Feb
ruary, 1901, congress authorized a per-
manent increase of the army to 900
men, including $4,000 native troops for
service in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. In June of that year all the
Spanish war volunteers were mustered
out The house this session has pro-
vided for an Increase of 5000 in the
coast artillery. The 10000 odd militia
can not be called into service out

except to resist invasion or to put
down rebellion. has always been the
policy of the government to use vol
regular army strength. The advan
tage of this policy is that volunteers
pursuits of peace when the need for
their services is ended. The result is
that, as Gen. Ainsworths report
shows, there are millions of men avail
able for defense, but only limited
number who are either fit or who
could be used for foreign service. But
the testimony Of foreign military au-
thorities is that in adapta bility, re-

BOOM IN WESTERN LANDS.
The Success of Dry Land FARMING a
Factor in the Boom,

In the New York Evening Post of
respecting the last of the public lands
in the United States, and incidentally
it dwelt at considerable length upon
the effect that dry land farming was
having upon the desire to get land
that only a few years ago was regarded
as almost worthless.
The Post thinks that the present
year is going to witness a western
land boom, and it says that the one
great factor in stimulating the land
boom is the discovery that very large
proportion Of the semi-arid lands are
as well adapted to wheat growing as
any portion of the middle west, pro.
vided rational methods Of preparing
the soil be adapted.
"The wheat belt of the middle west"
it declares. "is being moved 200 to 300
miles further west. until it's edges
will skirt the foothills of the Rockies,
just as fast as steam plows and
every kind of plows can turn the
SOIL"
The biggest wheat crop ever har-
vested in America has just been hauled
to the grain elevators, and it is found
that in the production of that record
breaking crop the despised Colorado
desert" acre for acre, has beaten
the world. Last years production in
the United States aggregated 772,264,-
900 bushels, grown on about 47,33O, 600
acres. The average yield per acre in
Colorado was 20 bushels. Leaving out
of consideration the irrigated farms
Of the state, the dry lands" that have
always been pronounced useless fol
any purpose but grazing, and not much
good for that, still beat every other
section of America with an average
yield of 25 bushels an acre. Nebraska
stands second with an average of q
bushels an acre. In the whole Amer
lean union, only two states report al
average above 20 bushels Thes,
states are Indiana and Illinois. AS
result of the showing in wheat pro
duction made by the sandy easter

outfits were put to work turning tn

things that make Grand Junction a

contend with a soil in our streets
which almost makes it prohibitive
to have good streets, until they are

such is the case will compel Grand

the stockmen of the state, who are
seeking to have the present assem-
bly, pass laws granting greater auth

Eugene w. Grubbs of Carbondale is
one of the stoclImen in Denver ready
to advance the measures. The main
provisions of the proposed law will
seek to do away with tuberculosis
among stock and will make a rigid
inspection of all cattle brought into
the state necessary.
The bureau of state live stock in
spection have been seeking to enforce
stringent provisions along this line
but legal protests have been made as
to whether they have the power to
do so. The laws of the statute books
in regard to live stock inspecting will
probably be revised to give them this
power during the coming session.

UNDERGROUND WATERS
Interesting Report Regarding Under

A valuable report on the under
ground waters of the Arkansas val
ley in Southeastern Colorado has just
been issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey as Professional paper
No. So.
The area discussed in this publica-
tion is limited by the eastern and
southern boundaries of the state. by
line drawn east and west through
Palmer. and by this line drawn north
and south through Canon City. In
this region there is an area of con-
siderable extent in which artesian
water is available and in the last ten
years numerous wells have been sunk
to develoy this important resource.
The artesian flows. however, are OBJ
talned only In the lower lands and
one of the principal objects of the
investigation has been the determ-
nation of the area in which the water
will rise to the surface without pump
ing.
AS the water bearing sandstone
and the associated formations do not
lie level or even slope regularly to
the east 1t has been necessary to as
certain the distribution and structure
of the various formations in order
to indicate the depth of the water
bearings
