farm Notes.

The alfalfa wee evil over in Utah is
creating great deal of CONSERVATION
in that country and the wonder is that
the thing has not moved in onto US be-
fore this. 1t is an imported pest
brought over from Europe in some
manner not known about five or six
years ago and has been steadily thriv-
ing in it's new place of residence ever
since. Unless a strong effort is made
to check the ravages of the weevil and
to exterminate it the pest will eventu-
ally spread, not only into Colorado but
it will gain a stronghold all over the
country. When the weevils are dis
covered in field the alfalfa should be
cut Immediately and then the ground
should be thoroughly disked. In this
way the young weevils may be killed
A film of water containing some crude
petroleum might be run over the field
in an early irrigation and this would
surely get them. Another plan would
be to throw light layer of dry straw
over the infected field and touch a
match to it on the windward side.
We have been asked why the Rocky
Ford cantaloups are better than the
ones raised down east, and the answer
is just like finding something. Any
body who knows the first thing about it
must admit that our soil is better suited
for melon raising. The cantaloups
raised down in Kansas for instance are
likely to be tainted with pumpkin,
squash and other members of the
curcubita family, and for which the
bees are responsible. They carry the
pollen from tomatoes, pumpkins and all
other garden plants that blossom. The
pollen carried from these different
varieties to the cantaloupe germinate,
thus giving the funny punk flavor to
the melons. In the Arkansas valley the
melon growers have no other products
within wide radius of their melon
patches. The result is that our cants
are not tainted and the same rule ap-
plies equally as forceful to the condi-
tions in Mesa county from which some
very choice goods have come this sea-
son. This matter Of outcrossing ac-
cidently or otherwise is the least of our
troubles.

Of the beets will have to be sliced by

and increasing the covering as the
weather grows colder Many methods
of siloing are in use but our Colorado
plan consists of piling the beets in long
ricks pyramidal in shape with base of
about six feet and height of four or
five feet. If straw. beet leaves, old hay
or anything of the kind is used, it should
be placed on the rick after the dirt. II
placed on the beets before the dirt it is
likely to adhere to the beets. When
they reach the factory this litter inter-
feres with the further manipulation of
the beets. 1t clogs the sluices and
some of it still adhers to the beets
after they are washed and interferes
with the slcing. For several reasons
it is undesirable to place straw, beet
leaves or the like on the beets first.-

Mexican Disasters Worse.

Later advices from Consul Hanna at

Those Who Think.

Henry ID. Thoreau.-I saw a delicate
flower had grown up two feet high be-
tween the horses path and the wheel
track. An inch more to right or left
had sealed it's fate, or an inch higher,
and yet it lived to flourish as much as
if it had thousand acres of untrodden
space around it and never knew the
danger it incurred. 1t did not borrow
trouble nor invite an evil fate by ap-
pretending it.
James B. Olcott. The great Ameri-
can problem is not how to save forest
and prairie, but to learn how to make
grass. We would better give attention
to turf culture and skilled grazing of
the right grasses than to save our for
ests. A country in grass is richer
country, country more fit to live in,
than a country covered with forests.
If Pinchot has good eyesight and if he
lives long enough, he will see better
crop than forest trees on the public do
main-he will see turf, the right kind
produced in the right way.

Gently learned that there is a big differ

visit and brought back with him three
excellent suits of clothes, made to order
and which cost him on an average of
$12 suit. These clothes could not be
bought in this country for less than $35
or $40 a suit and am told it is all due
to the tariff. If this is true it seems
to me that the people of our country
are paying pretty stiff prices for pro-
lection and this one little object lesson
which have related has convinced the
people in our neighborhood that there
ought to be decided revision down.

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle this morning
were extremely light, only seventy-nine cars
being reported in. This was the smaucst
run for a Wednesday experienced in a long
time and was due TO the untaVoraote
weather conditions. The market as q whole
was in a very satisfactory condition as
viewed from a sellers standpoint
Buyers OF beef cattle were out IN the

were so light they went after them IN a
hurry. The result was that the trade was
very active while IL lasted and everything
changed hands in a short time The prices
paid were safely ieQ15c higher than yester-

Tn feeling in stOckers and feeders was a

taken place in prices during the last Few
days stimulated the demand to quite an
extent and the stale cattle in the yards yes
terday were pretty well cleaned up. Thus
spectators were prepared to take on a few

steady prices, there being no disposition to
