Pathetic End Of a Pioneer.

Greeley, Colon. F. Cheesman, one
OF the best known of the old Greeley
pioneers, died at small cabin on the
Laramie river in Wyoming. He had
been in the habit uf spending his sum-
mers there fishing. A few days ago
Mrs. Cheesman received word that her
husband was i'll aud she started at
midnight for Cheyenne in an automo-
bile.
The road was unfamiliar to any
member of the party and it was with
considerable difficulty that they
reached Cheyenne in time to catch the
early morning train west. After leav
ing the train it was necessary for Mrs
Cheesman to make a long stage drive
to reach her husband. She arrived
there a few minutes before his death
The scene at the bedside was pa
thetic. The aged couple, who had
shared each others trials and tribu-
lations for nearly half century, were
about to be separated He had lived
for two days mainly through his re-
markable will power, determined to
see his loved one before the end came.
She had raced across country at the
risk of her life, but won.
Mrs. Cheesman had barely reached
the bedside when his soul took flight.
He was too weak to speak, but was
conscious to the end As he gazed at
his life's partner for the last time his
countenance lit up, he smiled and then
died peacefully Mrs. Cheesman is
greatly affected.
This morning Paul Jones of this
city went to Wyoming to assist in
bringing back the body of the dead
pioneer.

1HE FARMER BOY.
Temper the Work to His Strength
and Let Him Have His Play Time.

Every farmer desires to keep his
boy at home as long as he can do so,
that he may thus live protected life
as long as possible. This is right. 1t
is mistake to permit the farm boy
to launch out for himself at too ten
der an age. The father of the boy
must remember that the muscles of
the boy are not hard like his own and
that he cannot do the same amount of
work as he himself can do, with
equal ease. The muscles of a grow
ing boy are soft. for they are con-
stantly being increased in size by the
addition of new material.
Many farm boys are driven from the
farm by too hard work. They are
made to take the place of a hired man
at very early age and the father
often forgets that they have not the
same Indifference to pleasures as him
self. The boy needs good deal of
recreation and a chance to mingle
with other farm boys. The farm boy
should have fair chance at the pleas
ures of childhood and youth, as the
city boy has. His work should be
carefully limited.
The usual farm boy is a worker
anyway. He early learns to do the
most difficult tasks on the farm. says
Farmers Review, and is worth much
more to his parents than any hired
man is worth. His parents should
therefore study him and his needs
His needs include many things besides
the food he gets and the clothes he
wears. "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" is an old saying,
but strictly true. Many farm boy
has been overworked into dullness
that has lasted him his life through.

Uraining Alkaii Lands,
c. w. Dorsey.

Whether or not drainage is neces-
sary TO reclaim certain piece of land
depends on the quantity of alkali pres
ent, the character of the soil and the
depth to standing water With porous
sandy soils only moderate quantities Of
alkali and the ground water at a depth
of four feet or more, heavy flooding for
q few months will so reduce the alkali
content that useful crops may be
grown. To keep the land free from al.
kali heavy surface irrigation should be
given This will drive down whatever
salts are carried upward by the capil-
larry rise of the soil moisture
At any time should the ground
water rise within few feet of
the surface gradual accumulation of
alkali may be expected. Should the
practice of occasional heavy irrigation
be discontinued alkali will undoubtedly
increase in the upper layers of soil.
Many examples have been recorded in
which land reclaimed in this way has
again been ruined by a second accumu-
lation of alkali Such examples have
probably prejudiced many farmers
against freeing land from allSali by this
means. When large quantities of al
kali are contained in heavy clayey soils
this method becomes of more doubtful
application. The quantity of water nee
essary to wash the alkali to the point
where it will no longer harm crops may
be sufficient to raise the ground water
thereby defeating the objects of the eS-
pertinent Again, the length of time in
volved in reclaiming such soils must be
considered. While it may be possible
eventually to reclaim heavy soils con-
tanning much alkali, the time necessary
to do this will probably be SO great that
it will be far cheaper to drain the land
to hasten the reclamation and put the
land in crops. Frequently crops from
productive land amount to from $40
to $50 and even more an acre. From
this it will be seen that it would be
well worth from s15 to $50 an acre, the
cost of drainage system. if by this
expense the farmer can get his land
into paying crops one year sooner than
he could by flooding alone. The ques-
ton of permanent reclamation also en-
ters, for unless the land is naturally
well drained and carefully managed
alkali may accumulate in even greater
quantities than We're originally pres
ent. The Observant farmer has learned
that drained land can be cultivated
earlier in the spring and is warmer;
that excess of rainfall is rapidly
drained away, while sufficient moisture
is retained in the soil to maintain Wig
orous growth and for these reasons
add to the value of the land.

Woman Rides Range at sixty.eisht.

Springhill, Wyo.-An accident which
,efell Mrs. Harrison Newell few days
ago has attracted attention to her as
probably the oldest horsewoman in the
state who is regularly in the saddle.
Throughout Wyoming there are many
women who came West many years
ago when the cattle business was in
its prime, and who, in order to help
their husbands or brothers to get a
start, did mems work in riding the
range. branding cattle and similar
work. Most of them have prospered so
that their riding days are but a men,

the range, although sixty-eight years

eighth birthday, the horse on which
she was riding SHE'D at bunch of
grouse and fell, the trail being on a
side hill. Mrs. Newell was thrown un-
1er the horse but clung to the saddle
and rose with him. Her ankle was
badly sprained and one arm painfully
bruised. She says it is her first acci-
dent in the fifty years in which she has
been riding horseback

The Colorado Onion Harvest.

The onion harvest is commonly be
gun by September 18th and the crop is
usually cut of the field by the middle
of October. Harvesting should begin
promptly when the bulbs are mature,
as is indicated by the withering of the
tops and the yellowing of the necks.
The onions are pulled by hand and
thrown into windrSws where they are
allowed to remain for several days to
cure. After the curing process is com
plete the bulbs are topped, sorted and
sacked. Topping is done by cutting off
the tops about onehalf inch above
the bulb, care being taken to make Il
smooth, clean cut and not to injure the
outer coverings. If more top is left
on il detracts from the appearance and
if cut closer the bulb is likely to be
injured.
The onions are then sorted and
sacked in the field, making but one
grade. The small and unmarketable
bulbs, together with the scallions, are
left on the ground. Gunny sacks which
nold about 100 pounds are the only
packages used. Ordinarily damage by
rain is not feared after the onions are
sacked, but if they should become wet
they should be left in the field until
dry. The sacks should be turned as
soon as the tops are dry in order that
the bottoms of the sacks will have an
equal chance to dry out. This is espe-
citlly true If the ground is wet.
