In times like these, when feed is high
compared with stock values, many
farmers will sell off their stock. This
is great mistake. You need the
stock and your farm needs them as
much now as ever. 1t never pays to
be overstocked but what stock one can
reasonably carry on farm is always a
good paying proposition provided they
possess quality and are handled judi
ciously.
These are good times to consider
whether you are keeping as good stock
as you should and perhaps it would be
well to investigate your method of feed
ing. Perhaps this might be improved
by little good hard study.

Live Stock Market

Denver Union Stock Yards, April 20
conditions were bad last week
at all points and prices considerably
lower than the preceding week. The
decline here ranged from 25 to So cents
on fat stuff and from 10 to 90 cents on
feeders. Packers claim the consurhp-
tive demand for meats, owing to the
recent sharp advance in prices as well
as the fact that last week was Holy
Week when great many people
abstain from eating meat, has fallen off
very materially of late, and for this
reason they have been very much on
the bear side of the market. There
was noticeable improvement towards
the end of the week with today's mar
ket about a dime higher and dealers
look for still further Improvement
during the week. Steers sold mostly
at $500 to 1915 late in the week with
one bunch of good ones at 80 and
some fancy experiment stuff from the
Colorado Agricultural College at $6.O5.
Choice cows sold at $3.50 on Monday
butlater not many got above S4.65 and
bulk ofgood killers sold at 81. 90 to "a. 40.
Feeders and stockers were scarce all
week. Prices dropped l5 to % cents
early in the week but later there was
some improvement though the market
is still lower than a week ago. Choice
dehorned Utah and Wyoming steers
brought $5.25 freight paid and most OF
the feeders and stockers ranged from
this to $4.O0. Today's supply OF
cattle was 2, 40 head

A healthful emphasis is laid today
upon character. But this emphasis
has its perils. Said speaker recently
of useiul Christian movement Tt
does not know creed, but upon oharac-
ter it puts tremendous emphasis, and
character is the Fundamental idea OF
religion" And in recent book an
author says emphaticsliy i'Christianity
is character But character must
have its standards and convictions,
and the affirmation Of these will consti-
tute Q creed. we could as well have
a man without . spine as character
without n creed. And Just as q creed
is not q character and yet is indispens-
able TO it, SO Christianity is not charac-
ter The apple tree is not an apple.
The apple is the fruit Of the tree. And
character is the fruit of Christianity.
The Christianity that does not produce
character is defective, but the produc-
ing power is not TO Le reduced and
limited to the result. Christiaity is
character but is more than character.
1t is living power, it is fellowship and
love, it is service. 1t is the thing pro-
duced, but it is also the life that pro-
duced it and the end for which it is
produced. There is g gain in the
positive assertion of half truth, but it
should not be coupled with the contra
diction of the other half.-Sunday

THE spring exodus from fhe

THE spring exodus from fhe
northwest to Canada is already in
full career. In the last eight years
about three hundred Thousand peo-
pie have moved across the line to
make homes in Canada. Very few
of them have returned. They did
not go to Canada because they were
failures in this country, but because
they. looked for larger SUCCESS in
the pioneer conditions of the Cana
dian Northwest. Many of them
have sold their farms. inherited
from their pioneer forefathers, at
high prices, and they have. taken
their money and their practical
skill into country where they can
get twenty acres for one acre in
Iowa and Illinois. OF course we
do not need to be troubled about
the loss of population. We have
emigrants coming to our shores at
the rate of q million a year. Our
actual loss is much more serious
matter. These farmers who have
gone and are going to Canada are
our very best citizenship, made so
by years and even generations of
American life. Those who come
in at our Eastern gate are alien in
every sense. They impose tre-
mendous burden of responsibility
upon the whole country. It is
burden which we cannot escape.
but the contrast between those who
are leaving us and those who are
coming to us is none the less
disturbing.

Grapes succeed best on warm, we'll
drained soil sloping towards the south.
The vines are usually set six to eight
feet apart, requiring $50 aud 900 vines
respectively to set an acre. One and
two-year-old vines are generally plant
ed. Two-year-old settings cost from
one-third to one-half more than one
year-old vines but they are stronger
and as rule, will give fruit earlier.
When ready to plant, ample holes
should be dug to receive the vines. If
the roots are very long, say from
eighteen to twenty-four inches they
should be shortened and spread out in
all directions, not more than six or
eight inches from the surface, in order
that they may get more warmth and
also have rich soil In which to grow.
In a dry season like this the ground
should be irrigated a few days before
the planting is done and it will prob
ably be advisable to turn the water in
close upon the transplanting with
good wetting every week or ten days
until the settings are well rooted.
When once established the grape does
not require so much water and will
often get along with the natural rain
fall in most places close to the foothills
where the soil is rich Denver Field

A meeting was held Sunday by the
settlers on the mesa south of town for
the purpose of organizing Sunday
school. The meeting was well attended
and the organization will be completed
next Sunday. The thrifty and enter
prising ranchers in this section will
hold a meeting tomorrow to talk school
house, and there is no doubt that q
building for school purposes will be
erected in the near future. Alread y
$50 has been pledged by an individual
for this purpose and there will be no
trouble in securing all the cash neces-
sary as we understand the government
will furnish the timber necessary and
the saw mill people have agreed to
convert it into lumber for half price.
Push and enterprise is all that is neces-
sary and the people in that section OF
the country have plenty of both. A
school house is as great o drawing at
traction to the thoughtful rancher as a
reservoir or water system.
