In the upper Gunnlson valley be-
tween our city and Almont is grow
ing 500 acres of alfalfa A few years
ago only two or three ranchmen
were experimenting with this grass.
They met with many discourage
ments aud much open ridicule, but
gradually the feeding value of this
splendid legume was proven and its
adaptlbllity to our Gunnison climate
demonstrated, now almost every
ranchman on the main river has a
patch and some have eighty acres
Alfalfa at this altitude only pro-
duces two crops but they average
two tons TO the cutting or a to'al
yearly production OF four tons. la
In Delta and Montrose counties an
average Of five tons from three cut
tings is expected but your reporter
is told that that with the higher al
titude more sugar is secured in the
alfalfa so that the feeding value of
our four tons is fully as high.
L I've uuHhltu it1ts VI dlitlId pro-
ducing 2,OOo tons is quite an addi-
ton to the Gunnison hay crop. So
far it is fed mostly to milk cows, to
hogs aud horses, and especially to
young and growing stock. Its use
as a fattening ration has not yet
been marked out to any great ex-
tent bv our Gunnison ranchmen.
While this tract up the river is
the first to develop alfalfa. there is
no reason to doubt bat well drained
mesa land anywhere in the county
will be suitable. Indeed, lola ranch
men have raised it with great sue
cess. The broad valley OF Antelope
creek will some day be under cult
vatlon and will make ideal alfalfa
grain and potato land There are
many hundred acres beyond Smelter
hill east Of town that ought to be
producing the same.

PLEASANT THOUGHTS.

Don't let Us talk of wretchedness,
Don't let US wallow in our woe,
Don't let us drivel DER distress,
Don't let us wander to and fro
Amid the mire and mud below,
But let us rise on joyful wings
Into the golden sunlight's glow;
Let's think and talk of pleasant things
Don't let us clamor for redress;
Don't let us deem soul our foe;
Instead of cursing, let us bless:
And never let us gloat or crow
Ger some ones trouble; let us show
What perfect peace our viewpoint brings
To all who after goodness go;
Let's think and talk of pleasant things!
Let's talk of trouble less and less;
To anger let us be more slow;
Let's strive more patience to possess,
And more compassionate let's grow;
And cheerful word or smile bestow,
And you can quell the scorn that stings !;
This duty to ourselves we owe:
Let's think and talk of pleasant, things!
ENvOI:
Ho! mortal men and women, no!
Hark to the song a minstrel sings!
If aught Of happiness you'd know.
Let's think and talk of pleasant things

| ana everl Pity that was almost divine
surged through Tarnley's breast as he
thought of Bobbett and the others In
darkness. He was carrying his twelfth
photograph of Miss Edmont to his
room. already adorned with eleven.
When the year was ended and Tarn
ley had to bid her good-by for three
months the occasion was epic. He stood
pale and very straight and tall and
held her hand.
Every day2" he asked. you'll write
every day?
"Oh, yes" she promised.
II don't know how I'm going to en-
dure not seeing you" Tarnley went on,
thrillingly. "It-it seems as II the
world had come to an end, Helene
mummy Helene!"
"Oh, you mustn't" murmured Hell
enc.
There was a real lump in his throat
when he went down the steps and he
felt grim and brave. He knew now
how men felt when they went away to
war leaving their loved ones behind
or to the scaffold-or to anything in
the line of disasters.
Getting his suitcase, he boarded the
train for the flourishing city from
whence he hailed.
Three months is a long time. OF
course Tarnley went about and attend
ed picnics and parties with other girls,
but his heart was still true to Helene.
Various things seemed to interrupt
Helene's promised routine of a letter
day. She was east at the seashore
and there were trains and boats inter-
fering and then, she wrote, she was
having such a splendid time.
In the fall when Tarnley came tear
Ing back to Chicago he rushed to see
Helene the first thing. She was out.
When he called again a six-foot junior
was blandly occupying the reception
room ahead Of him. It seemed that
the Junior, too, had been at the sea.
shore.
When the situation became generally
known the fellows wondered how Tarn-
ley would take it. They were prepared

had not souls to appreciate Helene Ed

Troy herself could not have been fair
er, while as for sparkle and wit there
was no one to beat this girl.
His alteration had been SO volcanic
and sweeping that he had edged all
other admirers from the field. Tarn-
ley was exceedingly good looking and
agreeable, so Miss Edmont apparently
did not object. He lived in a dream Of
anticipation before every party and in
heavenly trance during the occasion
while he was the proud cavalier of
Helene Edmont attired In some confec-
ton of white or pale pink. Afterward
he walked around with his head in the
air, thinking how she had outshone ev-

THE ART OF GARGLING.

as far back as possible.
"Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip Of the tongue
may be grasped with handkerchief
and In this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the wa
ter. The physician should control the
patients vain efforts-for it Is impos-
sible to swallow under such circum-
stances.
The patient has the sensation as II
he actually lad swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to exhale
air slowly. One can see plainly the
bubbling Of the fluid in the wide open
pharynx.
After gargling thus for a while the

and quickly thrown the head and body
