COURSE
FOX FARMERS
TO BE GIVEN IN JANUARY BY col
oRADo AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.
INCLUDES STOCKMEN
COVERS STOCK SELECTION, FEED
ING, SEED SELECTION AND
FARM MACHINERY.

Owing to the urgent demand on the
part of great many farmers and
stockmen of Colorado for more detailed
Information concerning the agricul-
tural problems in this state than could
be obtained at the farmers institutes
or through the college and experiment
station publications. a short course OF
two weeks in agriculture and live stock
practice was offered at the college
three years ago. This course of prac-
tical lectures and demonstrations was
well attended and so popular that they
have been continued each winter since.
The course this winter will bs for one
week, beginning Monday morning. jan
Cary 18th, and continuing until Satur-
day, January 18th.
AS heretofore, the course Will in
clude lectures and demonstrations in
the selection and judging of all
classes of live stock Particular a.ten-
ton will be given this year to the vari-
Gus types and breeds of hogs and
horses, though cattle and sheep will
not be omitted. Discussions and lee
lures will be had upon feeding, breed
ing, care and management of all
classes of live stock under Colorado
conditions. The college is better
equipped than ever before with the
best representatives of the different
breeds, and will be prepared to fill ev-
cry minute of the time spent with in
tereSting and instructive subject mat
| ter for the progressive stockman.
In agronomy subject the course Will
be devoted to a discussion of seed Sc
lection. grain improvement, and the
best methods of growing grain, forage
and root crops under the widely sary-
ing conditions in this state, giving par
ticular attention to the problems of the
so-called dry farming districts. The
many hundreds of eastern farmers who
have recently come to the eastern per-
ton of our state should by all means
avail themselves of this opportunity OF
getting all the information possible on
this phase of their business, from the
college men. and from the experts from
the United States Department of hgri-
culture that are expected to be present.
In the farm mechanics division, the
study of farm motors. such as Saso-
line and steam engines and windmills.
will be discussed, as well as all the lat
est improvements in the various
kinds of farm implements, includ-
ing plows. drills, mowers, binders,
manure spreaders etc, a wide assort-
ment of which has been secured for the
purposes of demonstration.
The veterinary and horseshoeing di-
vision will also be deservedly popular
this year.
Every farmer and stockman and his
wife in the state can afford to spend
this one week at their college gather
ing Information and stimulus for the
coming year.

the course, address Agricultural De-
partment. State Agricultural College,

UNCLE SANS FINANCES.
Annual Report Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury

Washington.-Secreta Cortelyou,
in his annual report, states that while
the estimates of government appropria-
tions for the ensuing year are made in
pursuance of law, he regrets the ne
cessity of submitting them, as they are
for the most part problematical.
Under the head of noticeable opera
tions of the treasury, the secretary
says that for the first quarter the ex-
cess of ordinary revenues over eXpen-
ditures, the deposit of lawful money in
excess of bank notes redeemed, to-
gether with the proceeds of the sale of
the Panama canal bonds, amounted to
$40,020.671.22, which was restored to
the channels of trade by direct deposits
in national banks, aggregating SAP
10000, increasing the balance therein
to 24,088, 1882, by October 1st.
The monetary stock of the country,
he says, increased $1S0.5S4, ,416 during
the last fiscal year.
OF this the growth in gold was $685.
6S2,336, in silver $13 ,623,7 $50, and in ma
tional bank notes, $42 2,676,330.
At the close of the fiscal year of 1907
the money in circulation amounted to
$2,772,956,45 or per capita of $32.22.
The number of national banks organ
lied in Colorado and their paid-in
capital stock is given as follows:
Banks. 104 ;paid-in capital, $9,123,500.
On mint service the secretary re-
ports that the total domestic coinage,
including that at the Denver mint, ag-
gregated 2OS,543.95S pieces.
During the fiscal year the purchases
of silver amounted to 1895, ,S6G
ounces of silver bullion.

Winter Protection of Plants.

The following suggestions for the
protection of plants against damage
during the winter are made by the
Colorado Agricultural College:
The protection of small plants dur
ing winter is simplicity itself. The
canes of bush fruits are entirely COW
cred with earth, while strawberry
beds are well coated with straw or
strawy stable manure. Peach trees
are even laid fiat on the ground and
covered during the winter. The town
of Loveland has, during some seasons,
shipped more red raspberries than any
other shipping point in the United
States, yet every cane Is protected
during the winter.
Raspberry and blackberry canes
are bent over till they lie nearly fiat
on the ground where the tops may be
held with pegs, forked stick, or with
few shovelfulls of earth. One OF two
burrows with turning pillow on either
side will now usually cover the larger
portion of the canes so that the job
may be completed easily with a spade
and a hoe. In many localities the
canes grow too long to be easily
handled, so they must be cut back to
convenient height. This is done
late in the fall after growth has
stopped. If done earlier, side branches
will develop and they are undesirable
under these conditions. Grape vines
are protected in the same way, but
the fruit requires a much longer sea
son in which to mature and conse-
quently should not be included in this
class. Currant and gooseberry plants
might also be protected in the same
way, but it will seldom be found nee
essary.
The plants should be covered before
hard freezing weather comes on, an6
is usually done about the first of No
vember in this locality.
The covering of strawberry plants
should not be applied quite SO early
Strawberries are often injured by
becoming too dry. so provision should
be made If possible SO that this con-
dition may not occur at any time dur
ing the winter.
Good judgment must be used in un-
covering the plants in the spring. II
removed too soon. they are liable to
injury by late frosts, and IL left on
too long. growth will start. New
growths under these conditions are
unnatural and therefore weak. They
usually die when the plants are ex-
posed, and this results in much dam
age.
Considering the high price that
small fruits usually command. It
would appear to be a matter of great
economy. for many people to grow
fruits for home use. At any rate the
danger Of winter killing Of the plants
ueed not stand In the way.

DEADLY COAL
MINE DISASTER
OVER FIVE HUNDRED WoRkMEN
KILLED IN WEST VIRGINIA
MINES.
SIXTY MINES SUSPEND
EXPLOSION CAUSES GREATEST
LOSS OF LIFE IN HISTORY OF
AMERICAN MINING.

Pittsburg, PA terrific and disas.
trous explosion occurred Friday IN
mines Nos. 6 and of the Consolidated
Coal Company at Monongah, West Vir-
gnia. Mine Superintendent Malone
says at least 500 men are entombed- 1t
is believed that the entombed men are
all killed.
. The explosion occurred shortly after
10 O'Clock, after the full force of 500
men had gone to work in the two mines
affected These mines are numbers 9
and 3 of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany, located on opposite sides OF the
west fork of the river at this place. but
merged in their underground workings
by heading and on the surface by q
great steel tipple and bridge. ~
A Monongah dispatch Saturday night
says:
At midnight a total of twenty-nine
bodies have been recovered from mines
OF tho Fairmount Coal Company, scores
of other victims were in sight of the
rescucrs, and it was estimated that at
least 100 dead would be brought to the
surface before daylight tomorrow.
Late today and tonight the deadly
black damp became more pronounced
as the further recesses of the mines
were approached. IL was SLdteu W
night by General Manager Leo Malone
that 47S actual miners were checked
off as entering mines yesterday morn
ing.
This number, it was further stated,
did not include 100 trappers, mule driv-
ers, bumpers and boys who are not un-
der the check system. Should these
figures be correct, the death list will
be over $50 persons.
1t is estimated that $50 families are
destitute. In many places relief funds
have already been started for the wild
ows and children.
The accident, the greatest in the his
tory of American mining, has dazed the
peop ). Tonight the streets of both
this town and Fairmount are crowded
with people, while thousands line the
hills in the vicinity of the mines. Ev-
cry barroom in Fairmount and Monon-
gah is closed. Throughout the terri
tory over sixty mines have suspended
operations temporarily and about 5000
miners are visiting here and in Fair
mount
That at least ten members Of the
heroic band of rescuers will die from
gas poisoning is admitted tonight by
physicians who are attending them as
they are drawn out of the mines uncon-
scious.

ture have b ,cn established in towns

tion Of. schools already in existence.
1t seems, however, that the high
school board has taken different
view Of the intention Of the lcgisla-
turc.
II is also our impression that the
purpose Of giving state aid for the
establishment of these hi"h schools
is to get The communities in which
they are established to raise addi-
tonal funds by taxation or from
private sources. but the high school
board seems to have interpreted the

course, that the high school act is
capable of such construction. but we
admit frankly that this construction
