4 Big South Park Reserpoir.

Around what has been known as
Green's lake, on the Colorado Midland
above Hartsel in South Park, or rather
lying between the Midland and the
Gunnison branch of the C. & S., is an
immense basin which is now being
damed into what will be one of the
largest If not the very largest bodies
of water in Colorado. The company
doing the work have about $50 men at
work with teams, scrapers and eleva-
tors and the building of the dam is
rapidly progressing. The water is to
be used to irrigate tracts of land down
near Denver. In the center of the
basin is permanent lake about one
and half miles long and half mile
wide. At the head is crescent of
springs whose water flows into it in
large volume, finding their outlet at
the lower end. To the south short
distance flows the south fork of the
South Platte, whose flood waters can
be turned into the reservoir. The
whole basin has doubtless once been a
huge inlaid lake. When confined the
reservoir will contain body of water
about three and half miles long by
half that great width.

STOCK MARKET.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, August
10th, 1908. Fairly good cattle receipts
at all points last week, and continued
hot weather, gave the advantage to
buyers again. and prices declined 10 to
25 cents for the week. Western cows
were an exception, and found a ready
sale all week, in fact, more of them
could have been disposed of than ar
rived. The run to-day is 1s, 900 head,
market steady, with strings of good
western cows selling shade stronger.
UP to last Thursday there were fears
of injury to crops on account of dry
weather, but copious rains all over
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri on
Thursday and Friday changed the stu
alton, and the improved feeling is evil
dent today, especially in the market
for stockers and feeders. Panhandle
steers are selling today at SO 40 to
S4.25, good weight wintered Westerns
from native pastures at "a. so to So. rs,
western cows at 50. 80 to 1895. Calves
have been coming freely, a, 500 here to-
day, market about so cents lower than
a week ago, veals at $3.50 to $3.50 to-
day, heavy calves 49, 25 to s4.25. The
rains last week practically assured the
corn crop in many sections, and put
pastures in good shape, so that demand
for country grades will be good unless
there is some bad turn in conditions
Stockers bring $500 to S4.6O, feeder.
So. 65 to S4.80.
Liberal supplies of sheep at al
points, and the hot weather. which cut
down consumption, have been against
the market for a week or more, anC
prices declined 20 to 80 cents last
week. The run is 5000 here today
market shade lower, Colorado spring
lambs today at S5.75, Colorado wethers
I02 h., S4.25, and Western ewes 49, 65
Shipments from Utah and Arizona ar,
struggling, nothing to speak of her,
since the middle of last week, wher
Utah wethers, medium grade, sold a
1915, and Arizona lambs brought S5. So
some 81 Id. Colorado feeding lamb
sold at $4.65 today, and string O.
55 Id. Colorado feeding lambs sold to-
day at s4.10. There will likely be al
improved demand from the country fol
stock and feeding stuff from now on.

Cabbage Worms.

Paris green, one rounding teaspoon
full. Common flour, one quart.
Mix the two thoroughly together and
put in small cheesecloth sack which
anyone can make in very few minutes.
Shake this sack over the cabbage
plants, causing the Paris green and
flour to sift through and fall upon the
cabbage leaves This is best done
early in the morning or in the evening
when there is little moisture upon the
leaves to cause the powder to stick
where it falls. A very light dusting is
all that is necessary to distribute
enough of the poison to kill the worms
that feed upon the leaves. This poison
should not be used later than ten days
to two weeks before the time that the
cabbages are to be gathered.
Unless used in unreasonable excess.
there will not be poison enough de-
posted upon the edible part of the
cabbage head to do any harm. In fact,
all these outer leaves are removed be-
fore the cabbages are cooked for food.
1t is also true that the leaves that form
the outer part of the cabbage head one
day will spread and become loose outer
leaves a few days later. So, if the
poison is not applied very near to the
time that the cabbages are to be gath
cred, there will be no poison whatev er
upon the edible parts, For best results
the first application should be made
as soon as the heads begin to form.
Then one or two applications later
would be all that is necessary.
In large fields it might be better to
use the Paris green in the form of a
spray of water, In which case little
soap should be added so that the liquid
will spread over the leaves and not roll
off. If used as spray, mix one pound
of the Paris green in each one hundred
gallons of water. Arsenate of lead
may be used instead of the Paris green
in which case five pounds of the poison
should be used for each one hundred
gallons of water.
