tflct court in this county. The list
OF defendants included every user of

monses were signed and man left
on a motorcycle for the Platte val
ley, where he will make personal SER
vice of the papers on all the parties
named as defendants.
The hearing which will be held
Thursday will be of the most vital in
terest to the irrigationists of this
county. The chief question to be
litigated is: Shall April Is and
September Is be regarded as the be-
ginning and the end of the irrigated
season and If so, shall September 5
mark the opening of the storage sea-
son for all northern Colorado?
The plaintiff expects to show that
return waters reach the Platte river
between Platte canon and Sterling in
the amount of at least 1000 cubic
feet per second, which fact should
do away with the necessity of fore

Milliken Jail Grim s,ectrc

II love my drink. but o. you Jail. !"
Thus. according to accounts, spake
the Greeley visitors to Milliken last
Saturday night. The new Jail is as
suming such grim proportions that
the male population of Greeley who
had been hailing the advent OF sa-
looms in Milliken as license to be-
come very funny on short notice
were staggered last Saturday night
when they started to repeat the per-
formances of week before.
The marshal at Milliken has served
warning that the visitors in the town
who patronize saloons too literally
will be given but scant consideration
by the law.
"A jag Is a Jag and will be treated
as SUCH" declares the marshal and
he adds that he doesn't care where
the before mentioned jag halls from.
At any rate there was better order
in Milliken last Saturday night than
at any time since the saloons opened
and those who know say that the jail
Is having a most wholesome fnfiu-
ence on the tipplers. The buzz
wagon brigade took care to behave
until they got beyond the town
limits. Those who visited did so
with chastened spirit and did not
fail to keep weather eye on that
new basti1e being erected.

HARN-YARD MANURE

Harn-yard manure increases the
water holding capacity of the soil:
and instead of dumping the manure
in some convenient. out-of-the-way
place or leaving in the yard to de-
teriorate, or to rot the structures
against which it is so frequently
piled, the fl rmer can not only save
money hut at the same time con-
serve the moisture of his soil, by
Immediately spreading it upon his
fields To get manure onto the fields
quickly and effectively manure
spreader is very useful. Such imple-
ments are in daily use at University
Farm.
Without moisture, fertility is OF
little consequence; and moisture
without fertility will not produce
satisfactory results. The soil must
be supplied with organic matter to
replace the plant-food extracted
from it by growing crops. This must
come largely from the barn-yard
from powing under green weeds.
