Steamship Co. for s150,000 and was to
have been delivered after she discharg-

nounced today that as the vessel had
not been delivered the loss would be
its own. The cargo was valued at
about $4,000. Both are complete
losses.

the fact that only month ago the

HOW THE GRASSHOPPERS
MAY BE DESTROYED

Prevention Is always better than
cure. While grasshoppers may be
caught when young in myarids by
the use of catchers or dosers as they
are called and while successful ma
chimes have been made for catching
and crushing them or as in Hungary
for spearing them with great wire
brushes against the earth, the most
successful way to deal with them is
to destroy their eggs When grass
hoppers become very numerous, es-
pecially If the season be muggy ana
damp, fungus disease sometimes de-
velopes naturally and kills on al
most the entire race so that seVerai
years are required before the pest
can become serious again. All at
tempts to propagate this disease
artiticially have failed and have been
abandoned. The grasshopper lays
her eggs in the ground within an
inch or so of the surface. BY means
of little scales or shovels at the end
of her abdomen, she digs hole
which is somewhat larger at the
bottom, then she lines it with nu-
cuous which forms gummy shell
and in this she'll or pod. as 1t is call
ed, she deposits from 80 to 60 eggs
and seals the top. She usually lays
two pods Of eggs. In tn spring when
warm weather comes. these pods OF
eggs hatch and continue to hatch
into the early summer. according 10
the time when they were layed from
August to October OF the fall pre-
vious. The mother grasshopper lays
these eggs around the crowns OF al
falfa plants. on ditch banks, on road
sides and waste places generally. III
these PODS are torn open so that the
eggs are exposed to the air and to
driving, they survive few days at
most or are eaten by the birds. Ihus
narrowing and cross narrowing IN
the fall and very early spring, TO-
gether with similar treatment OF
waste places. fence rows, ditch banks
and road sides furnish complete
and practical remedy for the con-
troll OF this pest. 1t is little use FOR
one enterprising farmer to do TINS
work on his place, if his neighbors
don't do the same. 1t is for this rea-
son that the Colorado farmers de-
mand means to compel co-opera-
ton. 1t is recognized in law that no
man has right to so conduct his
business or to so neglect his business
as to damage his neighbor and his
community or the entire state. Such
movements as this state grasshop-
per meeting at Greeley on January
G, are a part OF the general move
ment of the times to get at the bot
tom of things and to have things
done right for all

GREATEST SHOW IN WORLD.
Exhibition Of Carloads Of Feeder Cat
tia at Denver Holds the Record.

The National Western Stock Show,
which is held every January in Denver.
holds the record OF the world Tor the
greatest exhibition OF feeder cattle,
both as to quality and quantity. Inc
Denver show pays particular attention
to the commercial end OF the cattle
business and while showing the stock
men the best there is in pure blood,
in the carload exhibition is shown
what can be accomplished with the
good blood Last January there were
$50 carloads of feeder cattle eNhibited
and these were taken from shipments
that aggregated over 10000 cattle. The
plan followed by the western cattle
men is to send in from two or three
10 twenty carloads of their best cat
tie, pick out few loads to enter in the
show and hold the rest for sale after
the ribbons are awarded. AS rule, the
man who buys the prize winning cat
tie usually wants anywhere from two
loads to a trailload of the same kind
OF cattle, and he finds them waiting
Tor his bid. Last January there were
over fifty eastern cattle feeders ut the
Denver show to pick up some choice
feeders and 1t has been found that
these cattle are money makers, for
they have the quality and health SO
essential
Even in the fat cattle division of the
show the commercial end Is carefully
looked after. Long fed cattle carrying
more tallow than lean meat have been
found unpopular and Improbable in
the west and the fat cattle exhibition
IN the car let end, Is limited to the
snort fed commercial cattle, which are
the kind the packers want and which
make money for all who handle them.
