Cabbage Growing in Colorado.

Prof. E. r. Bennett, of the Colo
rado Experiment Station, has pre-
pared Il bulletin on Cabbage
Growing in Colorado.
He finds that the average cost
of growing and marketing cabbage
is S32.SO per acre. The average
selling price for ten years has
been 40 cts. per hundred pounds,
the lowest selling price % cents per
hundred pounds, and the highest 10
cents. The actual yield per acre is
from fifteen to fifty thousand
pounds.
The minimum yield at average
price makes gross return of
about seventy-tive dollars per acre
and a net return of something
over forty dollars. This year some
fields near Greeley have brought a
gross return of S355.25 per acre.

New Railroad East of the River.

The San Luis SoutherniRailway
Company filed articles of incorpo-
ration with the secretary of state
the first of the week. The officers
of the company are: Franklin E.
Brooks, president, of Colorado
Springs; Gerald Hughes, vice
president and treasurer, of Denver;
III. Alexander, secretary, of Colo
RADIO Springs.
The road will be financed by
Colorado. New York, Boston and
Philadelphia capitalists among
whom are: Senator VIM. Lorimer
of Illinois, Congressman Weeks of
Massachusetts and former Indian
Commissioner VIM. Leupp of New
York. The capital stock is placed
at S1O,OOO,OOO.
The road is to be standard gauge
and equipped with modern rolling
stock. 1t will run from Blanca
south the entire length of the
Sangre de Crlsto grant and afford
transportation facilities for over
100000 acres of agricultural and
timber land and 10000 acres of
mineral land A contract for build
ing Il part of the road has already
been let.
The corporation is an auxiliary
of the Costilla Estate Develop
ment company which controls
about 100000 acres of land on the
grant, lying across the Rio Grande
river about II miles east of La
Jara. Few settlers are on the
tract but the company are said to
be selling many contracts and the
indications are that it will fill up
rapidly. An extensive irrigation
system has been under construc-
ton for nearly year
What is known as the La Bella
mining district will be reached by
the new road. This district was
opened some II years ago but
owing to lack of transportation
facilities has not received the
attention that it deserves.

THE WHEAT PROBLEM.

The wheat situation is a keen
one and is attracting more and
more comment. If we are to
believe j. T. White, the Kansas
grain inspector all the old wheat
is sold now. Milling wheat is be-
ing shipped back from New York
City to the western states at $50
per bushel, some of it even going as
far as Texas New wheat in Kan
sas is being contracted for delivery
from the threshing machine at IA
little better than 81 90 bushel.
Some items in the discussion
stands out in prominence Popu-
lation is increasing faster than the
ratio of wheat acreage; the per cap
ita consumption is increasing much
faster than the population; al
though this country is the largest
grower, America is exporting less
and less of the cereal and using
steadily increasing ratio for home
consumption; in increased acreage
corn has outstripped wheat by 30
millions of acres of late years, be-
cause corn pays better than wheat
under present methods of cultiva-
ton. Alfalfa is all ready beginning
to make a marked inroad on the
wheat raising area. All of the
states are short ON wheat at this
time which is an unusual situation.
The crop outlook while on the
whole is good, in view of the pres
ent situation holds little promise
of a better state of affairs at the
same time next year. Kansas has
something like seven millions of
acres in wheat this year, and the
condition at this writing is good,
the crop is estimated at seventy to
eighty million bushels.

saccharine plea for liberty before
Judge Thomas yesterday. Vagrancy is
his vocation and begging his avocation.

said with soft, mellifluous accent and
dewy tears in his voice. as he laid a
grimy, wrinkle-creased paw on the
recorders desk; look at my hand and
tell me whether I work or not"
Il am not a Dalmist and can't read

same tone of voice that Peary may
be expected to say How dye do to

Just give me a chance, judge. If
you are going to fine me. give me till
tomorrow to get the money. On the
word of an honest man l will be here

Judge Thomas scratched his head.
The star-eyed. silver tongued orator
drew closer and from his lips, like
honey. flowed the stream of speech.
The judge looked at the prisoner and
a benign expression gradually came
over his features. The prisoner saw
his advantage and continued: "Your

is the noblest work of Cod

CALIFORNIA COLONY

The homesteaders in the vicinity of
Higley. or more definitely described
as township one south. range six east,
have begun to show signs of activity
and il is understood that within the
next week no less tran thirty-five men
Who have made entry on this govern
ment land will arrive from California
to commence making improvements.
1t will be remembered that last spring
there was n great numbeS of entries
made in this district and the reason
for the present furry is that the six
months allowed homestead entrymen
between the time of filing and the
commencement of improvements is
about to expire. Another feature of
the homesteading in the vicinity of
Higley is that a good portion of the
entrymen are from California and
their intention is to follow the same
plan in orange culture that has been
adopted in California.

business and with gratifying success.
The business has grown to an extent
that demands more room. and it was
with the intention of expanding the
farm that this new tract was pur-
chased. Associated with Mr. AleXan-
der in the venture will be Walter Van
Tassel. 1t is planned to start work on
the place about the first of November,
and it will be ready for the stock of
poultry about the first of the year.
The start will be made on a compare
lively small scale, but ii is the expec-
tation of the men that within three
years or less the ranch will have on it
not less than 1000 hens. The ranch
will be run solely as an egg producing
proposition, and Leghorn, both va
rieties. brown and white, will be kept
exclusively. The entire twenty will be
fenced and subdivided into smaller
fields for the accommodation of the
hens.
The operation of this place VIII in
no wise interior with the present
farm which Mr.. Alexander controls:
it will merely be a larger branch of
the same project. The parties inter-
ested have the chicken business down
to a science and there is no apparent
reason why the venture should not be
made a pleasing success.

to get off so easily.
