The Colony House.

The permanent colony house is not
as good as the portable. The portable
house Is usually built upon runners
similar to the common stone boat. In
the spring and summer they are drawn
upon the range, and in winter may be
brought up near the feed house and
arranged in rows, SO it is almost as
easy to care for the birds as if they
were in single continuous house. The
colony-house system Is In general use
in England, and is practically the only
system employed, says writer in
Baltimore American. These colSny
houses have wheels at each corner and
no floors. l would advise those who
contemplate going into the poultry
business, no matter on what scale, to
~4art with the colony system. 1t takes
a little more work, but 1t is best in
the end, and the chances of success
are much greater than where the other
plans are followed.

over the potato plants when covered
with dew or rain. In any form of ap-
plication at least one pound Of Paris
green should be used per acre, but
when the plants are large greater
amount may be required. The Mime
sofa Experiment station prefers to use
Paris green mixed into thin paste
with water and then stirred in the
larger volume of water to be used in
a sprayer Very good results, however,
have been obtained by the use of a.
common sprinkler. Where the crop is
large and it is possible to procure one,
a power sprayer is advised and rel
garded as almost indispensable. Milk

Of stone lime in water to each pound

strained into the poisonous mixture to
prevent burning of the plants. Arsen:

than Paris green. Paris green may
be mixed with bordeaux mixture, when
the mixture is used as a disease de-

Statue of Liberty Grafters

If the visitors who paid good money to
steps of the statue of Liberty had only known
about the sixty-second article of war they
never would have graduated from the dead
head class on a reservation belonging to Uncle
Sam, the New York Herald says AS it is,
under the last general order from the war de-
partment two soldiers who levied tribute are
doomed to penal servitude for their specula-
tive enterprise.
According TO the army orders, Axel T.
Holm, a ffrst-class private of G company, sig
nal corps, and Edward A. Bagnall of the
same grade and command, organized a syndi-
cate for the exploitation of the French evil
dence of friendship for America which, fol-
lowing the actual language of the order, oper-
ated as to Holm, after this fashion:
'He the said Holm, did designedly and
itors to the statue of liberty, fees for the priv
lege of going up into said statue by know
ingly making false pretenses that such fees
were necessary.
And as to the enterprising Bagnall:
THAT he did knowingly assist in fraudu
lently obtaining money from visitors to the
statue of Liberty by acting as lookout with
the duty of actually giving warning to the
man collecting the fees in case an offlcer were
approaching"
All of this, according to the charges and
specifications upon which conviction was made,
and approval then passed, violated the sixty
second article of war. In the case of Holm the

STREET TRAFFIC OF PARIS.

There are nearly half million horses and
motor vehicles Of all kinds in Paris today with
10000 hand carts and 5000 wheelbarrows. In
1909 $3.50 accidents were caused in the Paris
streets by 1868 vehicles. These statistics are
contained in a report drawn up by NJ. Emile
Massard at the request of the Paris municipal
council on the incumberment of the Paris
streets. One of M Massard's calculations
shows that the street traffic of Paris, If sta
tionary, would occupy 445 acres of the 2,079
acres of streets which Paris possesses. Last
year 600 OO0, 900 persons Travelled by omnibuse

A few months ago Gen. Hamilton S. Haw-
kins died. He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening of the Civil
war. but the authorities did not allow him to
graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given commission. He staid in the reg
ular army until the time Of his death and so
strong was his love of the military academy
that before his death he asked that he might
be buried in the cadet cemetery. 1t was Haw-
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school
where he had spent three years OF his boy.

To Maintain Nitrogen.

Nitrogen must be maintained by
legume crops, and the best legume for
the corn belt is clover. The clover
crop should be left on the ground. If
removed. not much, if any. nitrogen is
added to the soil. If the crop is re-
moved and fed to average live stock
and the manure given average care
and hauled back to the field, the loss
is nearly one-half Of the plant food
and three-fourths OF the organic mat
ter. If a good crop of clover is left
on the ground once every three or four
years, only the seeds being removed,
it will supply sufficient nitrogen for
quite large grain crops.

BIG DEMAND FOR DAIRY COWS.
Dairymen Report II Impossible to
Purchase First Class Animal For
Less Than $50 Per Head.
BY j. E. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
CollegeO

BY j. E. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
College,
The great demand for dairy prod
ucts has caused the price Of good dairy
cows to be very high. Reports from
associations of dairymen show that it
is impossible to buy first-class dairy
COWS at even $50 head. With such
demand for COWS in old dairy dis
tricts, there will be few good cows
moved into new dairy territory. So,
the only way new districts can be
supplied must be by breeding up the
common stock by the use of good dairy
bred bulls.
If good dairy cows could be sold
for $40 to $50, at least 5000 could be
But the prices as above quoted are
prohibitive. So, only the culls from
the old dairy districts are likely to be
sent here for sale.
When bringing cows into the coun-
try, tuberculosis and other diseases
may also be introduced. The cows
now in Colorado, especially the range
COWS, are free from tuberculosis. II
good dairy bred bulls are mated with
selected range cows, the heifers Of
the first cross will be good mich cows.
Future crosses will still further i'm
prove the dairy herd, If accompanied
by careful selection.
If this plan is carried out for few
generations of cattle. Colorado can
not only produce all the dairy cows
needed, but supply can be sent to
the eastern cities.
With cheap feed which is available,
the raising Of dairy cows may become
profitable here
Colorado should be able to success
fully compete with Connecticut and
other eastern states, where it costs
$50 to $50 to raise dairy heifer, and
feed her until she is two years old.

Irish sergeant with the euphonious name of
O'Baldwin in command of the squad He
began to explain the position of soldier. He
found that the recruit on the right of the line
already was in the position of soldier The
truth was he couldn't help himself. ..,,
OBaldwin eyed him critically. Fall out!"
he said.
The one-time cadet fell out. what regi
ment did We desart from?" said O'Baldwin
pleasantly.
This is my first enlistment" answered the
recruit, and In answering he told the truth
for a cadet isn't enlisted.
What company are We in?" asked O'Bald-
win, though he knew perfectly well, for his
own bunk was not three hunks removed from
that of the recruit.
I'D company" answered the queried one
and that's where he made the mistake of his
life.
That apparently simple answer proved con-
clusively to the sergeant's mind that he had
an exregular before him. for all the national
guardsmen would have answered Company
D" instead of I'D company" The regular who
would speak of his command as Company D.
would be considered deserving of the guard

you go to your quarters; we'll look into
this" said the sergeant.
The recruit went to his quarters and half
hour later the first sergeant of the outfit
sent for him. The 'Top" opened the CONVEX
sation cheerfully with query as to what regi-
ment the recruit had left in the lurch Find
ing that he bound to be considered
deserter, the unhappy took the bull by
ment in the army; never was in the marine
corps and l never saw the inside Of ma
tional guard armory"
Ever been in one of them private military
schools? ?" asked the "Top."
Never"
GO to your quarters"
In another hour the recruit was given
rife and cartridge box and belt and was or
dered to turn out with the squad Of recruits
who had advanced far enough in the school
of the soldier to receive lessons in the manual
of arms. Now as a matter of fact the recruit
knew the manual of arms well he couldn't
have hidden his knowledge If he had tried.
This time there was another sergeant in
charge His eye took in the way the recruit
on the right handled his piece and executed
the manual.
In less than minute the sergeant ordered
him who was showing such proficiency to step
10 the 'front.' and ordered place rest TOT the
remainder of the squad Then turning his
attention to his VICTIM he said: We'll try the
bayonet exercise bit. Guard!"
The recruit came down to "a guard" posi-
bly, with as much precision and in probably
as proper style as the veteran sergeant had
ever seen it done.
Passing yourself off for a recruit. It's
fraud you are. Get to your quarters And
the recruit went to his bunk again, knowing
that he was in deep disgrace.
About half an hour later he heard two old

SOIL FERTILITY IS WANING.
United States Agricultural Expert
Predicts Exhaustion of Farm Land
of Western Prairies.

The agricultural department at
haustion of the soil of the United
States. On the prairies of the west
fertility Is beginning to wane. In
many of the older communities fertfl-
ity has been reduced below the point
of profitable production. How to store
and maintain productivity of soil is a
most important phase of the conserva-
ton problem.
These observations are set forth In
farmers bulletin prepared by w. j.
Spillman, agriculturist in charge OIL
the office of farm management of the.
agricultural department. Mr.. Spillman
says that in order that the prairie.
country may not follow the descent
of the east and south it is necessary
that intelligent and vigorous effort be
made to farm correctly.
Renting Of land on short leases for
the purpose of growing grain for the
market Is one of the surest means OF
reducing the productive power of the
soil. Well managed pastures and ra-
tional systems of crop rotation are nee
essary to the development of perma-
nent systems of profitable farming
Land owners must realize this and
must take steps to improve renting
methods by stocking their farms with
full complement of domestic animals.
in case the renter is not able to do
this for himself, and by giving longer
leases whereby the renter may reap
the reward of intelligent management.
In view of the soil waste that has
occurred, Mr.. Spillman asserts, it is.
not surprising that values of farm
products have risen to marked de
gree in the last few years.

Sand For Ducks.

Some people have a notion that
ducks and geese do not need grit be-
cause they are not seen picking up
large particles of stone. They do not
need as large size of grit as hens
do, for they get sand when pudding
in the bottom of the creek and
streams where they forage for weeds
and fish, Ducklings should be pro-
vided with plenty of sand, which takes
the place of grit. SO thoroughly do
some duck raisers believe in grit that
they mix sand in the feed that they
give their young ducts.

Beliefs About Lightning.

There is popular tradition that

Use Of Drugs.


Do not be constantly drugging your
live stock with the idea that some
thing is wrong with their health.
When convinced that the animal is out
of condition and that medicines are
needed have a veterinarian prescribe
the medicine and give 1t under his di-
rection. Much harm can be done by
the constant use Of condition pow
