PENSIONS FOR OONFEDERATEs.

Ten thousand checks are to be mailed
from the Office of the auditor OF the state
at Richmond on the evening of Au-
gust 81. The checks are in payment of
pensions to Confederate veterans, and
amount to $3.50, 600.
In some sections of the state men have
been unscruplous enough to charge the
bsne6ciaries as much as 5 per cent. for
cashiDg the checks. The total amount
of pensions paid by the state, including
the appropriation for the Soldiers Home,
IN close oa to $500, 900.
The pensioners are being reduced in
numbers every yesr. There are few Of
them who are not more than 20 years OF
age. As fast as there is vacancy, how
ever, there are other names to be added.
There is little trouble for deserving
OOnfederates to get their Pittsnce from
he state.

Appalling Losses.

From extended examinations the
u. S. Bureau OF Animal Husbandry
concludes that on an average about 10
per cent of the mich cows, per
cent of other cattle, and per cent OF
the hogs in the United States are af-
fcctcd with tuberculosis, the average
percentage for all the cattle being
estimated at 3.5.
The loss. on animals in which tu-
bcrculosis is found in the federal
meat inspection is estimated at $e,-
3S2,433 annually, and if the same con-
ditions were applied to animals
slaughtered loss on all animals
slaughtered for food in the United
States would be increased to 4,Io2,
433. The stock of animals on hand
is also deprecated in value because
of tuberculosis. Assuming that liv-
ing tuberculosis mich cows are an.
nually deprecated to the extent oil
one-tenth of what the loss would be
ii they were slaughtered. other cattle
onc-third. and hogs onc-half the to-
tai annual depreciation amounts to
SS,o46.2Io.
The annual loss from decrease in
milk production is estimated at ST.
10000, and there also is some loss
from impairment of breeding quail
ties. etc. Taking all these items in
to account, the aggregate annual loss
because of tuberculosis among farm
animals in the United States is esti'
mated at not less than SI4.ooo,ooo.

The Coming Winter On the Range

The Coming Winter On the Range.
The past summer has been unus-
ually dry and from all parts OF the
west come reports that there is lit
tie grass on the range and the out
look is bad. This is as true of other
states as it is of Colorado. In such
a case. especially when it is true at
the very beginning of fall. one of two
things must be done or range stock
will begin to run down in flesh from
insufficient food almost at once and
begin to die long before they usually
do. II in addition to the short range
we have an unusually hard winter the
conditions will be just so much
worse
Either stock must be shipped ont
or feed shipped in. Those who have
a few tons of feed and three or four
times as much stock as it is enough
for must get more feed or get rid of
part of their stock. The condition
of weakness and starvation so often
reached in the spring is already re-
ported in some parts of the state.
Officers of The Colorado Humane
Society arc instructed to keep an ac-
tive LOOKOUT for bad stock conditions
in their respective nciphborhoods and
either take action in time themselves
or report the cases with addresses of
owners to the Office in Denver. Shcr-
ifs and peace officers generally arc
asked to do the same thing, and to
give as wide publicity as possible to
this notice and urge upon their read
crs comriancc with the law and pro-
lection for the stock already begin
ming to sfarvc. It is time the dis
grace to the civilization of the West.
and especially of this state. involved
in the annual starvation of range
stock is put an end to.

5000 Cars Per Year.

Some idea Of the magnitude of the
business done at Blue Rapids can be
had from the fact that $500 cars of
in and out going freight was handled
last year. This number will be in
creased somewhat this year and with
the development of the gypsum indus
tries Blue Rapids will become one of
the greatest shipping points In the
state. A large amount OF corn Is ex-
pected to be shipped during the next
fed to take the prevailing price of &c
cents per bushel.
Busy Threshing Wheat.
The hum Of the threshinR machine
may be heard now when driving
bound wheat is being threshed Quite
a lot, however, will be stacked and
threshed after while when the farmers
are not quite so busy. There is an
immense amount of wheat through this
part Of the county. more than we ever
knew of before. The price is better
than 1t usually IS at this time of the
year, 10 cents a bushel at the elevator.
The yield Is turning out an average Of
about % bushels to the acre and the
quality Is much better than was ex-
pected.-Holton Recorder.
A Farm Sale.
One Of the recent land sales was
that whereby julius Calais and wife
and Lizzie Zeeb and husband. heirs of

Messrs. James Of Concordia, Sheri-

Puckey and Mccormick, met yesterday
| afternoon at Puckey's office and made
| arrangements for the racing program

| ISOLATION to be held from September 1
to 4, inclusive. A racing schedule was
planned and acted upon, and it only
differs slightly from the one Of last
year. that was made for the Cloud

tempting to horsemen, and good

seen on the track this fall.-Clay Cen
