OUTLOOK GOOD AT CANON CITY.
TSpecial to The Sentinel. ]


Canon City, Colo, May 12.-The
fruit orchards of the county are now
white and pink with blossoms. The
trees were never more heavily laden
with bloom, and the indications point
to the largest crop of apples ever
marketed in the county. 1t has de-
veloped that the orchards which were
not artificially heated during the
recent cold nights will also have an
abundant crop of everything except
the earlier blooming varieties. The
orchards which were cared for during
the frosty nights will yield large
crop of the more tender varieties of
fruit, which will amply repay the
owners for the expense and trouble
OF fighting off the threatened dam
age from frost.
Blossom parties have been numer-
Gus during the past week, and sew
eral events are in the nature of a
yearly feast of blossoms, and natural
ly the decorations are almost entirely
huge blooming branches of beauty
and fragrance from the apple, pear.
plum and peach trees. Lilacs will
show in abundance of purple and
white clusters within the next two
weeks A remarkable fact is that
these tender bushes have been un-
injured by the frost.

ago at my uncle's in the country. Au-

"A crowd gathers, with dogs and
axes, at the edge of a cornfield after
dark The dogs start a coon in the
corn, and you all make after them,
stumbling in the night Then, when
the coon is freed. you have either to
cut down the tree or. to climb it and
shake the coon of his branch

they get a grip they won't let CO.

'coons fixed to young farm hands
