DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Dec. 81.
The supply OF cattle last week on
this market was liberal and the trade
was good. On account of the heavy re-
ceipts and sharply lower markets at
eastern points. prices here went down
somewhat. Good beef steers and cows
and good feeders are 10 to Is cents
lower than a week ago and the me-
dunn and palmer grades are off Is to
25 cents. Good Wyoming range steers
brought $685., with others at $5.15,
and prices ranged down to $4.25 on
the better killers. Several punches Of
good fed steers arrived and sold at
$4.75 to $5.35. A bunch OF good fed
COWS sold at $500 and prices ranged
from this down to 1925 on the better
killers. Good to choice feeders and
stockers brought $500 to $3.50, fair
to good at $3.50 to 1896. Feeding cows
sold at $500 to $3.50, or lower than a
week ago.
The hog demand was very good but
prices were lower than a week ago.
Bulk Of the hogs are now selling
around $500 to $40.
Sheep trade was good and prices
held firm here, though eastern mar
kets are % to 65 cents lower. A bunch
of cnoice San Luis valley lambs sold
at Sc 65 and good ewes brought $40
to $425. The demand here is strong
for all grades and the market is in
fine shape.

MISS MARY GOODWIN PINKNEY,
lvx who died at the Hotel Bucking-
ham recently. had spanned the better
part of a century. most of the time
here in New York, and had taken care
of a high living family on the proceeds
of a $4,000 loan made to her step
father in 1913.
The published death notice said she
died in her ninety-ninth year. One Of
her old associates thought that she
was about SO when she made her ia
nous loan to her stepfather, and in
return came into possession of half
of Harlem" or, in other words, the
ancient farm of John Delaney, which
her stepfather had bought in 1926 for
$62 800.
Most of her life she had spent in the
old Delaney homestead at One Hun
dred and Thirty-ninth street and
Seventh avenue, and she left it for her
winter quarters in the buckingham
only fortnight before her death.
Miss Pinkney mad been often writ
ten of as the wealthiest spinster in the
United States and as one of the half
dozen richest women of the country.
Her mail for years had been filed
with letters asking help and original
ing in every part of the land. Her
charities, however, she kept quiet. Her
wealth has been guessed at all the
way from s1000O.000 to S60,000.OO0.
Her father, Col. Pinkney of the east
ern shore of Maryland, was an officer

Wealthiest Spinster in America Dead

in the United States army from 1899
until his death in 1925. In her girl
hood she and her mother, Mary Good
win were quartered with him at one
time at Fort Niagara.
After her fathers death her mother
married Archibald Watt of this city,
who specialized in uptown real es-
tate. He was engaged with associates
in a project to build canal from the
Hudson to the East river. He was
driven to the wall through business de-
pressions in the '30s and stood to lose
everything, when Mary Pinkney came
to his rescue by offering him, in con-
junction with her sisters, who died
soon afterward. the $4,000 legacy
from their father for all his real es-
tate.
The family continued to live in the
Delaney homestead, the colonial
house still standing on the block
bounded by One Hundred and Thirty
ninth and One Hundred and Fortieth
streets and Seventh and Lenox ave-
nues. There Miss Pinckney had made
her home ever since.
The grounds occupy a whole block.
and up to last summer all the vegeta-
bles which her household required had
been raised on the remnant of the old
farm-probably the most expensive
garden property in the world
From her mothers marriage with
Watt there was one son, Thomas
Watt. He married Julia Elizabeth
Hawks. southern girl resident in
New York and a daughter of Bishop
Hawks. Four children resulted from
this union.
From the time of the transfer of his
property by the elder Archibald Watt
Miss Pinkney provided for the entire
Watt family, giving them at times
whole city blocks.

ECONOMICAL FEEDING.
With Hish-Priced Grain Farmers Must
Feed IntelIioentIy.

At the present time when grain
feeds are high, and the meat products
are selling from the farmers hands
at a moderate price, it is good time
to stop and consider the best and
most economical methods of feeding.
Although there has been much said
on the feed question within the last
few years, there seems to be a dearth
of actual knowledge on this important
subject.
While standing near stock of all
kinds at the fairs, one often hears the
remarks, MY, that is nice animal.
l wonder what they feed him on" The
same old idea seems to prevail that
did scores of years ago, that an ami
NAL can be sustained on single feed.
and that some of the successful feed
ers must have found some single feed
that possesses some great properties
of exceeding value as feed, or has
discovered an elixir that has a mar
velous power in aiding the animals
in converting the feeds on the farm
into meat.
l think that if those who seek for
some feed nostrum of great value
would take a rational view of the
subject, they would see that no one
feed can be relied on to sustain an
animal as economically as a variety
OF feeds. If they will study the chem
ical composition Of feeds, and also
the chemical elements required by the
different parts of the animal body,
they will soon see that no one feed
can supply all that the animals need
and that several feeds will be re-
quired to meet the demands.
Experience has taught the dairymen
that timothy hay and cornmeal Is not
a good ration for the dairy COW. They
find that the corn fodder in some
form, clover hay, early cut June grass
and some roots fed along with mix
ture of cornmeal oatmeal and wheat
bran gives better results than the mar
row ration of timothy and corn meal.
If the corn is cut when the kernel is
glazing and put into the silo they have
a first-class succulent feed that is
easily digested, but 1t is not perfect
feed alone. 1t can be supplemented
W1IQ SOUle ClONcl nay, SIS0A CuI onI
straw and some cotton seed or linseed
meal and much better results secured
than can be If the one feed, silage
alone, is relied on as a ration.
This same rule will hold good in
feeding th~ horses, beef cattle, sheep.
swine or poultry. When the cost OF
feed is considered and the results that
can be obtained are measured, it will
be found that the most economical
method of feeding is to supply the
animals with variety of feeds. The
increase in product is greater and
the time of making 1t is shorter. If
any one questions the statement let
them try narrow ration on part
of any class of animals they chance
to have and a wider and varied ration
on the balance and watch the result.
At the same time keep record of the
cost of feeds used and after period
of few months settle in their mind
as to which is the most economical
method of feeding.

MILKING A DAIRY COW.
II Does Not Pay to Handle Any But
Good Ones.

We are, as our readers will see, still
boring away on this dairy cow prop
osition. endeavoring to persuade our
many of them as they can milk as a
chOre. says Wallace's Farmer. By q
good" cow we mean one that will
give at least $50 pounds of butter q
year. A COW that gives less than this
may pay expenses, but she will not
furnish suficient profit to justify the
farmer in keeping her.
We are looking at the thing just
now from a different standpoint. We
wish our readers would sit down and
think how much time 1t takes them to
milk a COW. or. to put 1t another way.
how much of their time Is taken in
milking ten cows and caring for the
separator. Say 1t takes two hours.
Now the question we wish to put is:
What is this two hours time worth?
How much profit are you making by
giving the two hours time twice day.
or four hours day, and milking ten
COWS that will yield less than ESQ
pounds Of butter, crediting the cows
with the skim-milk and buttermilk
at Is cents per 100 pounds? 1t is worth
80 cents now when fed to hogs; but
we take Is cents because that has
been about the average value when
fed to pigs and calves.
Now what profit can farmer make
II he gives four hours day to ten
cows. IL his cows yield him $50 pounds
of butter year. with feed at present
prices or average prices? Suppose
you had nothing else to do and were
handling 20 cows; how long would
1t take you to break up and go
into the hands OF the sheriff. feeding
the average ncows in the corn and
grass country, which yield only about
$50 pounds of butter? How much
longer would it take you to break up
If your cows give IT'S pounds, 200
pounds, 225 pounds? How much
would you make II you had your cows
up to 300 pounds, which you can cas-
lily do II you will follow our sugges-
tons?
Turn this COW question over and
look at 1t from this standpoint. Then
nave d ScSsiOH WIN yourself anu ue-
eide whether 1t will pay you to at
once get scales and a Babcock test
and go at 1t and find out what you
are doing in the COW department of
your farm.
We have omitted one item. namely.
that the manure from dairy COW is
worth about six dollars year when
hauled out at once on the fields. AS
1t is usually handled 1t is worth about
three dollars, less the cost of hauling
1t out. Let us attend to business and
look at this and every other subject
from matter of fact. practical stand
point. What Is your time actually
worth to you in dollars and cents
when you are milking cows that give
you less than $50 pounds of butter?
One great mistake of the farmer in
this and other matters is that he does
not consider his time worth anything;
1t least, he does not seem to.

Cultivate the Orchard.

The young orchard should be
cultivated" says State Zoologist
Surface, but not with grain or
grass crops. Corn, potatoes, beans,
or other vegetables, well-cultivated,
are ideal for a young orchard. The
ground should be stirred every two
or three weeks until the middle of
August. In going through the or
chard with the harrow, care should
be taken not injure, bruise, or
bark the trees. To avoid this the
horses ought to be muzzled and the
outside portions of traces and whiffie-
trees padded"
In going through some young or
chards early in the season, for the
purpose of demonstrating pruning,
Prof. Surface found many cases of
trees which had been seriously
damaged through being grazed by
whiffletrees, or struck or bitten by
the horses. In going through the
orchard rub off all unnecessary
sprouts.

About Wedding Flowers,

At a recent wedding the chosen
flowers were subjects of comment be-
cause the sentiment attached to the
flowers used was not understood. All
flowers, or at least almost all, have
some sentimental significance. Flow
ers worn by the bride, carried by
the bridesmaids and used decorative
ly throughout the house and church
are nearly always selected because
they represent some human quality,
such as purity, goodness, health,
true love, etc. The shower boquet
is often made up of an assortment
of flowers, and while shower bou-
quets are no longer regarded as up
to-date, when each flower really
