moved brush the inside of the tank

vent any leakage.
In locating the buildings keep con-
venience always in mind and figure to
save as many steps in doing chores as
possible. Do not have the barn too
far away from the house. If you
build silo. have it at the end of the
cow stable. where most Of the silage
will be used. Have all the buildings
where stock is kept as close together
as possible and corncribs and granaries
close to each building. This matter of
saving steps is not regarded as careful
| ly as it should be. Every device which
lessons the actual labor on a farm is
worthy of consideration, and the step
saving scheme is by no means trivial.

having a definite plan in mind, how
ever. every building that is put up can
be made to conform to that plan, and
the final results will be much better
than if the work had been gone at in
haphaZard manner.
There is usually a rise of ground
somewhere along the road that makes
good building site. Natural drain
age is very important, as the yards
will be sloppy enough at best in a wet
season. The first step after the site
has been selected is to provide a good
windbreak on the nCrth and west.
There is nothing SO effective for a
windbreak as an evergreen hedge.
The best evergreens to use for this
purpose are the pines. OF these the
Scotch pine is one of the hardest and
is also fairly rapid grower. 1t does
not make as good Il windDreak as
some of the others. however. The
Austrian and bull pines are among the
best for windbreaks. White pine is a
rapid grower and is very valuable for
lumber when it reaches sufficient size

rather tender when young. The white

hedge. 1t is Of little value for timber
purposes however.

Two rows of evergreens are suffi-
cient for an effective Windbreak. If
set sixteen feet apart. with the trees
in the second row opposite the spaces
in the first, they will in a few years
form 4 mass that will be practically
windproof. Willows, catalpas and
other quick growing trees make fair
windbreaks and grow up quickly
enough to be useful for a number of
years before the evergrpens are big
enough to do any good. Unless plant
ed very thickly, however. much of
their effectiveness is lost in the winter
at the very time. when they are most
needed 1t is a good practice to plant
a few of these quick growing trees
outside the evergreens. They will pro-
tect both the evergreens and the build
ings until the former are large enough
to be effective Then the temporary
trees can be cut down for posts and

but with the aid of a few sheep or
goats this can be accomplished.
Little care is needed to get a stand
of willow trees, but with evergreens
the case is different. a strip of land
three or four feet wide, where the
row is to be, should be plOwed. In the
prairie states spring is the best time
to transplant. Two to four year old
trees are generally used.
The greatest cause of failure with
evergreens is allowing the root system
to become dry. After the roots are
once dry the tree might as well be
thrown away, as it will not grow. A:

w. J. Danford Tries to Negotiate Loan
of $1,000 on Supposed Bond for
$4,000 of Pretended Water

Forgery is the charge on which w. j.
Danford, a disbarred attorney, was ar
rested last night shortly before 8
o'clock by Detective S. L. Brown Of
the district attorneys office. Danford
was placed in the county jail, being un-
able to secure bondsmen.
The charge grows out of the alleged
forgery of a telegram and the name of
j. Il. Brown, cashier of the First Ma
tion bank of Telluride. Colo. to the
telegram, c. J. O'Keeffe and Superin-
tendent Lamb of the Western Union
Telegraph company.
According TO the information filed
against Danford in Justice Ling's
court, he ATTEMPTED on a bond of $4,000
to borrow $1,000 from O'Keeffe. who
lives at 1923 South Olive street. The
bond purported to be issued by the San

secretary.
O'Keeffe seemed satisfied at first and
was on the point of advancing the $1,000
when he became suspicious that all
was not as represented. He was en-
ployed for years by the Colorado
Telephone company and it was his
knowledge of Western Colorado that
caused him to make careful inVestiga-
tion before going into the deal. So far
as he knows, says O'Keeffe there is
no such corporation in Telluride.
When he called at Danford's office,
he asked to be allowed to send a tele-
gram to the cashier of the bank in
question in order to establish clearly
the authenticity of the instrument.
Danford, is is said readily agreed to
the plan.

father pays $S a month, that she
dinn't think Santa Claus would find
Lopez court, anyhow.
There was a good night said with
pthe hope that some good Santa some-
how would find Lopez court, and then
the little negro lad-the same John
Lee Hollis-danced down to the other
end of the court and demanded admlS-
sion at another home. In his quaint
boyish Spanish he told the mother that
there was some one there to see about
Christmas, and the door was opened.
And there was a revelation in the
midst of this sordid court. The house
was clean. The roof didn't leak. The
mother. Mrs. Contreras, who does
washing for a living, had the smile Of
the good mother on her face and, sit

wanted to hear:
She was a pretty picture as she
sat upright in her bed in her little

and listened, while she heard her
mother asked if Santa Claus ever
wandered into Lopez court.
When the question was translated,
the mother shook her head and had
a mo" for an answer She explained
that she had three little girls. she
said that her husband was dead and
that she had to wash for living.
Sometimes she made $4 a week, and
sometimes she made $f2 week, and
sometimes she made even more than
that and she paid her rent and the
roof didn't leak and she was glad to
have her babies with her and they
were her great comfort. even in three
rooms-for her home is one of the
most comfortable on the court.
While the mother was telling about
her own happiness with the babies in

Miss Petra with the black eyes was
sitting up in bed and saying, as she
held out her little hands-"If you see

wiser when asked what they wanted
Santa Claus to bring, shook their
heads and said: mo sabe; l guess
