ST. Paul, Mimi, July "a special
from Watertown, S. D.. says:
lone dead and a score mere or less
injured, the main tent and menaserie
tent of Ringiings' circus in ruins, and
two horses killed, is the result of a
cycIonic storm here last night.
THE dead man was a circus empioye,
and the injured are said to be perform

Neither the name of the dead man
nor the names of the injured could
be ascertained from the circus man
agament. The loss TO the circus is es-
timated to be $40, coo, while the dam
age in this city is estimated at $4,000
in broker plate glass, trees etc. A large
crowd was in the ten when the storm
struck. The management Of the circus
warned the spectators of their peril,
and there was a stampede for the exits
as the ent began to sway n the big
poles were lifted from the ground.
The animals in the menagerie tent
were locked III their ages and the
elephants had been loaded on the cars
when it was seen that a storm Was
coming and this undoubtedly averted a,
stampede. The spectators had barely
left the tent when the first blast ripped

Flying poles and pieces of seats were
hurled after the fleeing people, who

The Injury Of Irrigation

The character OF the soil has a
great deal to do with the freQuen-
cy of irrigation. Soils that are
deed and homogeneous have OBJ
viously a large storage capacity
and hence can hold much water in
the subsoil reserve. During the
drouth OF this summer everybody
must have noticed that on such soils
crops do not suffer SO quickly from
lack of water. With shallow soils
the condition is different. As the
storage capacity is limited the irri-
CATION must be more frequent. Any
one who Is observant and who stud
les his soil and notes the behavior of
the crops should in the course of a
few years learn to know how to ir-
rigate SO as to secure good yields.
What constitutes proper irrigation
is matter OF much importance. 1t
does not consist of complete sat-
uration Of the ground or putting as
much into 1t as 1t will hold for no
crop will thrive with its roots in
waterlogged soil Under average
conditions long continued irrigation
and the use of large amounts of
water are uncalled for. A sufficient
lETIEALlOn SnOulu carry water "
every part of the soil where there Is
a lack OF it and 1t should replenish
the reserve supply in the subsoil.
Anything more than this is waste
and usually an injury. The mistake
of applying too little is rarely made
but that OF too much is not infre-
quent.
Porous soils soon take up all that
is required and any excess goes into
the understandings and is lost. On
soils that absorb water very slowly
the irrigation must be continued
longer than required to run the
water over the ground. Where
there is no under drainage and
where the soil is shallow over irriga-
ton will set up excessive surface
evaporation which may result in ac-
cumulation of alkali In injurious
quantities. Where furrows are used
1t Is not always necessary that the
irrigation shall be continued until
percolation has proceeded In a lat
eral direction to the extent that all
the surface between the burrows is
moist. II sufficient water has gone
into the subsoil and the moisture
has met few inches below the sur
face this Is all that is required

called, at first did not thing that he
could save the baby's life. He work

She was little better this morning

SIZE will recover.
Gasoline poisoning is said to be

Destroy the Weeds

This Is the time OF the year when
most weeds have reached their full
growth In height and are now setting
about their chief business of produc-
ing seed for next years weed crop.
Ditch banks, road sides, fence rows,
and neglected corners are now in
too many cases perfect jungle of
ragweeds, sunfowers, giant marsh
elders and other members of the
weed tribe. II left for a week or
ten days too long, they will have
ripened fun crop Of seeds and scat
tered large part on the ground.
Ditch banks are especially favorite
places for weeds, and II neglected
now they will soon have sown their
seeds in the most favorable places to
have them carried to every part of
the irrigated fields later on.
This is the critical time, therefore.
to act. Now the weeds now; let them
lie until dry enough to burn; then
FIRE them when there is no danger
from the fire.
II left until spring, as is commonly
the case, but few Of the seeds are de-
stroyed but burning the old weeds.

fore and are often protected from the

DAIRY INDUSTRY N COLORADO

There are approximately 100000
milch cows in Colorado. Many are
selected from the range and are
poorly handled and MIXED through
the summer. producing annually only
from $50 to $50 COW. A number
OF well selected cows are kept In or
near towns, and are fed, producing
annually from $50 to 500 COW
The average annual production Is
probably not over $40 a COW. or to-
tai yearly production for the state,
from dairy products, OF S6.fO0.00O.
If these estimates are correct, Colo
RADIO farmers are supplying about
fifty-six per cent of the dairy prod
ucts and substitutes for dairy prod
ucts consumed in the state.
Butter and Cream.-A large guam
tity of butter is shipped into Colo
RADIO from Kansas and Nebraska, and
the larger portion OF the cream
churned in the principal factories in
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo is shipped in from Kansas and
Nebraska. One concern in Denver
churned over 100000 pounds OF
butter in 1909. large part OF which
came from Nebraska. Some of the
largest dealers in dairy products in
the state estimate that in 1909 an
average of over 10000 pounds OF
butter came into Colorado. either as
butter or in cream that was churned
after arrival Butter made from
Kansas and Nebraska cream is used
in the mountain sections OF Colo
RADIO. 450 miles from Denver.
Cheese.-The quantity of cheese
made in Colorado is SO small that it
is seldom found in mos. of the towns
OF the state = Most o. the cheese
consumed in Colorado comes from
New York
Condensed Milk.-Colorado' con-
densed milk factory is located ft
Fort Lupton. 1t caters to a high
class trade, puts up a good product.
and pays the highest price to the
farmer for milk.
During 1909 there was n general
shortage of milk aud cream in most
OF the towns of the state and city
families were forced tn use con-
densed milk. Many thousand farm
families also used condensed milk.
The use of condensed milk in Colo
RADIO has been rapidly increasing for
several years. Wholesale houses re-
port that in 1909 they had a demand
for double the quantity of condensed
milk sold. but they could not secure
1t from the manufacturers. More
than the usual amount was shipped
into the state from the east and
several carloads came from the Pa
cific coast.
The fresh milk from 5000 aver
age Colorado cows would have been
REQUIRED to produce the condensed
milk that was shipped into Colora-
do in 1909. and the milk from 16. 900
cows fully to supply the demand in
the state for this food.
All sections of Colorado offer fav-
orable conditions for dairying. The
irrigated sections of Colorado offer
ideal conditions Of feed, climate.
water and good markets.
The mountain parks and valleys
Of Colorado furnish almost the same
dairy conditions as the mountain
dairy districts of New York, with the
advantages OF richer feeds and . dry

CHARLES THE FIRST COMING
Cllimpanzee Is the Greatest Circus
Performer In the World

or all animals known to creation
the most wonderful is Charles the
First, one of the star performers
with the Barnum and Bailey greatest
show on earth. He Is probably a
chimpanzee. though his close resem-
blance to the human lifts him into 4
class by himself. All mans divine
gifts. with the exception of the power
of speech, are possessed by this
strange creature. Science says there
is link connecting the lower animal
creation with that of the human
race. Charles the First proves this
theory. Within him is the divine
spark of human fire. To such an ex-
tent has he developed by contact
with man. that he has become a bet
ter circus performer than any man
who ever lived.
Charles the First was born in Af-
rica about ten years ago. Nothing is
known of his antecedents. In 1903
a party of scientists came upon him
seated beneath tree eating cocoa
nuts. Instead of fleeing, the animal
walked up to them, his arms laden
with nuts which he passed around,
at the same time making motions
which plainly said. These are to
eat. The men were amazed, and
taking the rut5 were about to pass
on. when the friendly creature took
one of them by the hand and tried to
detain him. The party proceeded,
however, but had gone but few
miles when the animal overlook
them; now carrying a pad crudely
woven into mattress. a club and a
cocoanut shell he used as cup.
For days he marched with the
party, sometimes ahead, other times
lingering behind, but more often
walking with them. He became use-
full from the start. Everything he
does proves him more human than
animal. He will prove the greatest
circus attraction ever seen in Gree
ley Thursday, August 4, when the
big show comes.
