A rough estimate of the portion
which is in the nature of continuing
annual appropriations is 1854, 900 for
the two years, or $4,000 annually.
The continuing appropriations sought
for the colleges aggregate $753,000
This would make S553,50O a year for
all items.
OF course quite number OF the
items can be disposed of with a
word, such as the University cores.

Des Moines.-Despite that the
state of Iowa is in better con,
dition financially than for many
years and that the net result of the
close business administration of the
state the past ten years has been to
leave in the state treasury or in sight
as running revenue over million and
half dollars more than is required
for the steady running of the state,
the members of the 33rd General AS.
sembly are busy planning for the cut.
ting of appropriation bills SO that
there will be no debt incurred Ten
years ago, as some of the older mem
bers of the senate recall, the state
was confronted with the problem Of
how to carry on the state aud at the
same time reduce an unconstitutional
floating state debt. Very great care
will be taken that this condition wilt
not again be brought about.
The latest budget estimate contemt
plates an expenditure the next two
years of little more than two and
half million dollars which is full
million more than is in sight. And
the worst feature is that in this in
crease is included continuing annual
appropriations which call for over q
half million each year right along in
definitely. In other words, the bills
In the books call for permanent in
crease of state expenditures of a mil
lion dollars each biennial period. A
brief statement of the budget as 1t
now stands is:
Three state colleges $1.436.000
Fifteen state institutions 433,000
Miscellaneous items 742,000
Total asked $2,621 900
When the college bills appeared
there had been material additions to
the original estimates so that the to-
tai of askings for these three insti-
tutions is nearly that of the estimated
sums available for all purposes. An
analysis of these bills shows:
Support Special
University $350O00 $34S,000

Diversified Farming.

One essential thing for Western
ranchmen to learn is diversified farm
ing. The most of our ranchmen give
their attention to but one crop and
then wonder that they do not pros
per. We know a sawed-of ranchma:.
nothing but native hay for years and
years. He lives in a car-roofed house
and perhaps always will. Hay
seems to be the height OF his ambi-
ton. His land is well adapted to di-
versifed farming and could be made
most profitable but he does not know
anything else but hay.
Diversi6cation of crops is the Sec
ret of success among the most pro-
gressive farmers throughout the
country. Every profitable crop that
can be grown should receive atten-
ton and different kinds of live stock
poultry. etc. should be kept on cv-
cry ranch. Ii has been demonstrated
tina, poultry. pork and peas can be
raised easier and cheaper in Colora-
do than elsewhere. With these three
''p's" few good horses, sheep and
milk cows. a ranchman is practically
independent.
Arrangements should be made for
different crops and stock so that la
Dor can be distributed throughou,
the year. In order to have winter
employment the dairy COW. hogs and
sheep should receive special atten-
ton. II it could be avoided. not a
pound OF raw products should be
marketed but it should be put
through the digestive organs OF good
animals and marketed in a concen-
trated form. Ii the miner would fol-
low the example of the farmer by
hauling his crude ore to the market
instead OF selling it in the concen-
tratcs. in manv instances. he would
be bankrupt in short time.-Ranch

Mr.. and Mrs. Katterjohn were out
driving. Two gold watches, several

this morning when a search was
made, although the thief overlooked
jewelry almost at his fingers tips.
None of the neighbors noticed any
one enter the house, although II is
presumed that the man entered
through the front door as the doors
and windows in the rear of the
house were fastened. The front door
was not closed, and an easy entrance
was effected. The watches were
picked up, but 1t is presumed that
the thief was in such hurry that
he did not take time to make COM
