COLORADO HAS BIG EDGE ON
EAST IN NATTER OF WEATHER

The recent snowstorms, bltzzards
and cold weather, which have swept
the country from Kansas eastward to
the Atlantic coast, ought to make the
people of Colorado. particularly OF the
Arkansas valley, appreciate the mild
ness of their winter climate. Chicago
and St. Louis have for a week been
fioundering helplessly about lin snow
fall, the equal OF which they have not
seen for decade, while New York,
Philadelphia and Boston have been
but little better off. In some places
in the Mississippi valley the snow was
three or four feet deep and great SUI
fering resulted in consequence OF It.
The snow placed an embargo on bus
mess in st. Louis and Chicago for
several days and great hardship was
wrought upon the poorer classes OF
people owing to the scarcity OF fuel
and the impossibility of procuring
work.
In Colorado the weather has been
ideal, cold enough to be exhilirating.

is an expensive one, 1t is worth doing

TO BEST
ADVANTAGE FOR THE HOME

A practical knowledge Of marketing
on the part of the housewife Affects
both the comfort and the expenses oi
the whole family. Intelligence and
skill in buying are needed. but the!
are only secured by thought and care
full practice. The purchaser must no,
be afraid to ask questions. as most
men with whom she will have to deal
will be patient, helpful and reliable.
1t is usually to ones advantage to
select a regular place for market
ing. Greater consideration is shown
such customers and better results are
obtained.
1t is a good plan to order for more
than one day at time. If you have
consideration for those from whom
you are buying, by ordering groceries
or meat in ample season, so there is
sufficient time to fill the orders, you
will find your orders will be sent to
you on time. Too many housewives
plan so little beyond immediate needs;
oftentimes they leave the ordering Of
roast until about ten minutes before
it should be in the oven.

ed deeply. Some even advocate the
use of the subsoil pIow in the space to
be occupied by the tree rows. This
could surely do no harm and may give
the roots a better chance to penetrate
the subsoil.
The next step is carefully to level
the land. The young orchard should
never be planted on a poorly leyeled
piece of land. Leveling after the
trees are set is unsatisfactory and the
orchard set on half leveled land soon
shows lack of uniformity which II
requires years to outgrow Good
leveling greatly reduces the labor Of
watering and the per cent of trees lost
in settling.
| Land which has been previously
farmed or cropped is the most salts
factory upon which to set young ap-
pie trees.
| II the land has been well watered
1t is uniformly moist, will require the
minimum amount OF water to start the
young trees and all danger from fu'
ture setting is obviated. However
this land will suffer quickly from over
watering. The amount OF moisture
already in the subsoil retards the re
covery from overwatering.
There is one precaution to be takei
in the preparation of all land TO
planting young trees. The earlier !
can be done the better. The lan'
plowed late in the spring takes waite
too freely and the young trees oftel
suffer from overwatering. The uppe
part of the soil becomes saturate
with water which drives out the al
and smothers the roots OF the youn
trees.
To avoid this difficulty the Ian

MOUNTAIN SHEEP on LINE

Trainmen and other employees o

that part OF the country as their per-
manent habitat
They roam fearlessly about among
the rocks. hundreds of feet above the
railroad tracks. occasionally outlin-

OF the sky, but more often barely dis
cernible against the rough. irregular
background OF the granite cliffs. They

that hurry by. q quarter Of mile be-
low them. and. rs the law forbids
anybody to shoot st them. they are
not frightened by seeing human be-
ings. their natural enemies. in the
distance.
As near As can b ascertained one
band contains eight sheep. and the
other fifteen or sixteen. The train
crews have come to watch for ths
agile animals In and about, the Roy
al Gorge and there Is seldom q day
when they are disappointed IN their
quest. The precafious psstsraxe they
have found is apparently almost In
accessible for other animals and the
