The COYOTE is a much despised AMI
mn, Of the wild and woolly west. ano
even Mark Twain's vivid description
of its powers of speed is not sufncient
TO establish it in popular respect. But
Il seems Colorado farmers have come
IN the opinion that the coyote has
qualities heretofore unsupported ana
which II they do not add to his repu-
tation for morality indicate q higher
grade of intelligence than he has been
credited with possessing. Colorado is
renowned in various ways; among
other things for raising the finest mel
ons. Now it appears the coyotes have
not only developed taste for the mel
ors. but the sagacity to pick out the
ripest. best and sweetest. AS con
sequence. says the Troy Times, the
melon farms are frequently raided b.
the beasts and the farmers are heav!
losers. Ordinarily a coyote Is held II
such contempt that little or no atten
ton is paid to him. But when ne DC
comes a destroyer Of Colorado
choicest melons he is daring fate to
much. 1t is now likely to be war I
the death, and the coyote crop Will o
killed on in order to save the crop

It is particularly so in 1--we stock de-

Der. l have always found that 1t Is
best to make two sowings, one about

the last week in the month. The rear
son for this is that the early sown
ones may, in favorable and late fail'
get too large and be more inclined to
run to seed in the spring. But be-
lieve the main cause for the running to
seed is getting the plants stunted IN
the fall by dry weather. II the SEED
