Beef and Milk.

While the National Western Stock
Show at Denver in intended to educate
the people on the production of mea,
live stock, it is rapidly becoming evident
that some attention will have to be Civ
EN- to dairy cows. The new farmers
settling up the country first turn their
attention to dairying, as milk and but
ter production bring quicker cash re.
turns. General manager Skinner of the
stock show is an advocate of dual pur-
pose cattle for the farm, and an effort
is being made to have a strong exhibit
of milking Shorthorns and Red Pollcd
cattle at the coming show.
"The scarcity of milk and butter, and
the high prices commanded at the pres.
ent time for dairy products, is attract.
ing much attention from the new set
tiers in the West" said Colonel Skinner
Most of our new farmers are not fl
nancially strong, and their first opera
tons must be in the direction of the
quickest cash returns. Darying is pop
ular, and the demand for dairy cows ex
coed the supply. II we can induce our
new farmers To buy the dual purpose
cattle, either the milking strain of the
Shorthorn breed or the Red Polled cat
tie, they cannot only engage in the
dairy business, but at the same time be
starting herd that will eventually
bring good returns in beef production.
The calves from dairy bred cattle are
fit only for veal. but the calves from
the Shorthorn and Red Polled cattle can
be grown into beef, and gradually a
good beef herd can be built M. The
milking Shorthorns and the Red polled
are very good dairy cattle and compare
favorably with the best average dairy
animals. II We can introduce these
types through our show, we will have
accomplished much for the farmers of
Colorado and the west. FIX.

An Interesting Doctrine.

Mr.. Gompcrs promulgstes an inter-
osting doctrine Of tcst cases when he
says: 1--WE protest against the concep-
tion that law is broken until It is f.
nally and fully decided what is lew. "
That reminds Us of an eminent Judge
who once said: "Of course, every man
has a right to his own guess as to what
the law is. but II he guesses wrong he
goes to jail" ANY other doctrine would
leave every statute practically suspend
ed till the objection of every pettifog-
ger had been passed upon. The object-
or's guess might be mere nonsense put
forward for the purpose Of delay, hut
Mr.. Gompcrs wouldn't let him be pun
ishcd for disobeying the law pending the
disposition Of his absuriities. That
would make the law an ass indeed. -

Trox-Elle Male Quartette
Makes Good.


The Trox-elle male quartctte gave an
excellent entertainment at Picket's OPP
era house Wednesday night. The fact
that n similar entertainment had been
given in town the week before and the
inclemency of the weather up to noon
that day was the reason for a very
small attendance. However, those
present appreciated the work of the
quartette to high degree and showed
it by hearty applause. The blend of
voices was good and their team work
and specialties added much to the pro-
gram.
Mr.. 0lmsted's impersonations were
good and the audience was well pleased
with his numbers. Mr.. McClary, the
second bass, has an unusually sweet
melodious voice and its low range and
fullness gave plenty of foundation for
the other three to build upon. His car
toon specially was highly appreciated
and showed unusual talent. Taken in
all, the Trox-elle is combination of
four young men of exceptional ability
and can easily win applause before the
best Of audiences. .-Wray Gazette.

Large and RESPECTABLE.

When Hannibal Hamlin first began
his political career he was once ut a
caucus in Hampden. the only attend
ant besides himself being a citizen Of
very tall stature and ponderous build.
Mr.. Hamlin had some resolutions to
pass which began by representing that
they were presented to a ''large and
respectable" gathering Of voters, and
he proceeded to read and "vote" them
On to the records Of the caucus.
"Hold on" cried the other man. 1--WE
can't pass that, for it amt true"

willy Hamlin.

'That's all right, brother; that's all
right" assured Hamlin. 1T goes as
read. Just you keep still. This Is a
large and respectable caucus all right.
You're large, and I am respectable"
And the resolution "passed" without
further demur.

a portly German hausfrau for a new
envelope for her bank book. The lady
behind her, noting that her own en-

a fresh envelope.
No. 3 said "Me, too,' or words to the

line.
When his patience and his stock Of
envelopes threatened to give out, the
teller determined to call a halt. A

alfalfa
later or disked up in the spring. They
are often sown in cornf1elds during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil.
Because of the fact that other crops
make so much better growth after the
field has grown a legume for a year or
so 1t is important that a crop of clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally. II a plan Of rotation is ar
ranged 81 that the fields are regularly
changed from n crop to another, so
much the better. It has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
er year on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds Of
food that a certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous. If another kind Of
plant is substituted, other elements Of
plant food will be drawn upon, the in
sects will be starved out and the chang
ed methods Of soil treatment will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly in their ability to
get food from the soil. Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from a soil
on which more tender plants would
starve. Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the huwus supply rapidly, since the
constant stirring of the soil hastens de-
cay. Oats, on the other hand, take
comparatively little humus from the
soil.
These differences may be largely
equalized by a consistent system Of ro-
tation. In planning rotations the aim
should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
condition in which the soil was left by
the preceding crop. The starting point
OF every rotation should be clover or
some other legume. The length of time
that a field should be left in to such a
crop depends largely on local condi-
tons. In the east, where alfalfa seed
is high and the difficulties Of obtaining
a stand great, 1t Is usually wise not to
pillow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years;
hence If not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded. In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any M crop.
Since clover is grown with small
grain the first year, this means only
n year in which 1t will be the sole
crop. If the second crop Of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
in humus, this work had better be
done in the fall, so that the mass OF
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop Is planted.
It the soil has been properly cared for,
however. this green manuring will be
unnecessary. As a general rule it is
more profitable to feed the hay or
grass to stock and return the anu
to the land. In this way from so to
30 per cent as much plant food is
added as would have been If the crop
had been plowed under, and at the
same time the stock has had the bene-
fit of the extra feed. When only the
stubble is to be turned under. the
blowing may be done either in late
fall or early spring.
