Poor Wool Outlook.

Wool growers are inclined to be
somewhat blue over the outlook for
wool, says the Denver Record Stock
man. AT the present time the demand
is exceedingly light and no one seems
to know just where the market is at.
That 1t is impossible to realize within
21a to cents of last falls prices
seems certain and it is predicted that
prices will go still lower before there
is change. But a very small part of
last years clip has yet been marketed
and the new clip is only a few weeks
away and it seems likely now that
there will be two years clip on the
market very shortly. One cause of the
trouble has been the determination of
the manufacturers to change their sys-
TEN of doing business. Heretofore
they have bought in the fall and win
ter and have manufactured their stocks
to be sold later. Now they have de
termined to first secure their orders
before manufacturing. AS a result the
looms have been idle while the sales
men are out securing orders. Later
the mills will become active again and
the wool will move as usual. but in the
meantime the supply of wool is ac-
cumulating and slump in prices
seems certain. 1t will be late in the
fall before the demand will have re-
sumed its normal condition and in the
meanwhile the grower will have to
take loss or wait.
The wool situation is certain to have
its effect upon the sheep market. There
has already been a lowering of prices
but 1t is believed that when the new
clip comes in there will be still fur
ther falling off in prices. At the pres.
ent time there is practically no move
ment in the west and no one seems to
know just what to expect.

Profits Of Fruit GROWING.

People are coming, more and more,
10 realize the profits that may be made
in fruit growing Colorado. New Mex-
leo and some parts of Wyoming. The
following instances are cited by the
Times-Hustler of Pennington, New
Mexico:
VIM. Quine, who lives about four
miles northeast OF town. has four
acres of orchard, about two and one
half acres are planted to winter ap-
pies. From this two and one-half acres
he sold 672 boxes OF extra fancy at
s1.75 per box: forty-nine boxes of sec
onds at $1.25 per box, and forty-four
boxes of culls at IS cents per box This
brought him for his fancy 81 ,236, for
his seconds $61.25 and s33 for his culls,
making s1,330.25 for the products OF
two and one-half acres. This is an
average of s532.10 per acre for his win
ter apples or s332.55 per acre for his
entire orchard.
r. H. Woods. who lives about three
miles above town, has six acres of win
ter apples. He has sold 2,67S boxes ex-
ira fancy, fancy and choice which were
taken at the lump price of $2.05 per
box. These brought him 5.4S9.90 cash,
or just a trifie under $1,000 per acre.
He also had 900 boxes of culls, which
he sold at s1.00 per box, which about
paid for his box material.
A. Sever, who lives seven miles up
the Animas has five acres in winter
apples. From these he picked and sold
1924 boxes for which he received $1.50
per box. This made total of S4,386
for the five acres, or over $3.50 per
acre. OF these apples 2.246 boxes were
ben Davis, hence the low price per
box. From one of these Ben Davis
trees forty boxes were picked. making
$50 as the profit from one tree.
c. II. McHenry has thirteen Rome
beauty trees on some lots on Wall
street. There is nothing unlucky about
them. From the thirteen trees he
gathered and packed seventy-eight
boxes extra fancy, which he sold at
$500 per box, and he had enough choice
and culls to pay all the expenses of
packing. This is net profit of $12
per tree.
A. f. Miller, who lives adjoining
town, has one Rome beauty tree from
which he picked and packed forty-three
boxes OF apples. OF these thirty-five
boxes were fancy and extra fancy and
eight boxes were culls. He sold the
thirty-fve boxes at s205 per box and
the culls at 50 cents making the gross
receipts for the one tree $685.. The
tree is ten years old.
S. w. Wightman packed and sold
$40 boxes of fancy and No. l apples
from about one acre planted to trees.
For these he received $1.95 per box.
This makes a cash receipt of S1,062.75
from little over an acre of orchard.
The trees are ten years old and aver
aged about ten boxes to the tree of
the Winesap and Rome beauty vari-
eties.
The address of all these parties is
Pennington, New Mexico, and any one
doubling these facts is requested TO
write direct to them.

Although in foreign countries and in
some parts of our own land birth ia

matter of course. a New York man
who advertised the arrival of his first
boy now doubts the wisdom of pursu-
ing this practice in large cities. Within
a fortnight he had had calls from 10
statesmen, and received SO letters and
circulars, and IS samples. all aiming
to promote the infants health or hap

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. March
f6.-The local market was a good one
from start to finish last week and at
the close prices were 10c to 15c higher
than the week before. Supply was
rather better than the previous week
and quality was very good. Beef steers
were not plentiful and more could have
been used. A new top was made at
$50 for some good northern Colorado
grain feds. Several lunches of good
steers brought $500 and most of the
pretty good killers landed at $4.65 and
up. Cows were in strong demand and
some high prices paid. A bunch OF
fancy cows brought 1870. the highest
price paid here this year Other cows
sod az SALTY and 1920. both higher
than anything marketed before last
week. Bulk of the pretty good killing
cows brought $3.70 TO s4.15 with the
medium to fair at $40 to 1910. Bulls
were strong at $500 to $3.50. veals
in good demand and firm at $500 to
$6.25 for bulk of the good light weights.
Feeder and stocker demand was good
and Irices strong to a dime higher.
Supply was just fairly good and more
could have been used. Good to choice
steers sold around 1920 to $4.55 with
fair to good at $3.65 to $4.15.
Hog supply was heavy and demand
very good. Prices were uneven from
day 20 day but at the close the mar
ket ruled slightly higher than week
ago with bulk selling at s4.45 to $4.55.
Sheep receipts last week were very
fair and under good demand the mar
ket ruled active with prices 10 to 25
cents higher. Ewes sold at s4.75 fiat
to $5.35 freight paid for a bunch of
choice ones, wethers brought s5.55
freight paid. and lambs went at
s6.25 to s6.75, the latter price, which
is the highest paid here for some time.

Female Tenacity of Life.

Statistics show that women have a
greater tenaclty of life than men.
Among insects the male perishes at n
relatively earlier period. Female quad.
rupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, says the
New York Weekly. despite the intel
iectual and physical strength of the
man. the woman endures longest, and
Will bear pain to which the strong man
succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more
fatal to males, and more male children
die than females. The proportion dy-
ing suddenly is about 100 women to
$50 men. Intemperance, apoplexy,
gout, hydrocephalus, affections of the
heart and liver. scrofula and paralysis
are far more fatal to males than fe-
males. Pulmonary consumption, on
the other hand, is more deadly to the
latter. The married state is favorable
to prolongation of life among both
men and women.

Woman suffrage is not likely to be granted by
separate legislation in America. The thing is too
complicated. There five states altogether that
have adopted it, but only Colorado tate-the
others introduced suffrage when they were
territories And of course that does not touch
federal government. So l think that women will
have to wait until the American Federation of
Labor is strong enough to have its way-for woman
suffrage is part of its program.
