YEARS AGO
INTERESTING ITEMS FOR THE
OLD-TIMER OF THE
DAYS GONE BY.
Many Little Items of Interest of
People, the Names of Whom are
Still Familiar, Clipped From the
Columns of The Delta Chief Of
1882.

Delta county has three organized
school districts, one at Delta, one
at Hotchkiss and one at Paonia.
Last week John J. Marsh dug $40
pounds of early rose potatoes from
a piece of ground not more than
thirty feet square.
Decidedly the finest specimen of
oats we have received was sent in
by the Hart Brothers, from Alfalfa
Basin, which are on exhibition in
this Office.
Nothing has been heard from
Simeon NJ. Decker, who recently
broke Jail at this point. No reward
has yet been offered for his capture.
DR.. Yarger is building an extern
sive hennery and hatchery in the
rear of his residence on Main street.
He will stock it in the dark of the
moon.
During q visit to the famed North
Fork country last week, we were
strongly convinced of one fact, that
the people of that section will have
something to live on this winter be-
sides light air and mountain scenery
On Wednesday last another seri-
Gus accident occurred on the railroad
at Escalante, resulting in the kill
ing of one man and seriously injur-
ing Mrs. Wilson. A freight train
on the tract at that station was
run into by another freight, the
engineer being asleep at the time.
Overwork and loss of sleep was the
cause of his negligence.
At a meeting held at Settles ranch
last Sunday. the following were rec
commended to the County Commits
sioners for officers of the new Sur
face Greek precinct: s. S. Bald
win for justice of the peace; James
Stell for constable; Pierre Settle, F.
E. Boyd and w. N. Kennicott for
judges of election; ]. B. Hart for
road overseer; Settles ranch for
polling place.
Fruit culture has taken a firm
hold on the North Forkers, and al
most every ranchman has his Or
chard in embryo. Many different
varieties of apples are being tested.
some of which may prove unsuited
for the place, but certain varieties
will do we'll. All small fruits are
doing remarkably we'll and without

there are some doubts about, but
fair trial will be given them be-
fore they are discarded. Five years

ducing an abundance of fruit and

Many Delta Reader Will Feel
Grateful for This Infor-


When your back gives out;
Becomes lame. weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in,
Your kidneys are lin bad way"
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Here is local evidence to prove it:
Mrs. Edgar Griffin. 24S Meeker
street. Delta. Colorado, says; Il hav
derived great benefits from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills. For some
time my back ached constantly and
l also had sharp pains across my
loins. The trouble was more severe
in the morning and l felt unrefresh-
ed. My feet and limbs often swell
led SO badly that l could not wear
my shoes. l at length read of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and deciding to
try them, l procured box at the
Peoples Pharmacy. After using this
remedy a short time. the swelling
in my feet disappeared, the pain in
my back was relieved and i felt

the stuff is placed in the pit. cover

six inches of dry dirt. The dirt
should be packed down well with
the back of the shovel or spade so
as the layer of dirt becomes partly
frozen, cover it over with a layer
of straw Dry corral manure will
do for the last covering. but it is
not regarded as quite tasty and the
winter winds are likely to blow it

Some folks spread a few inches
of clean hay. leaves or straw on the
ground, place the products in long
pile, as high and wide as desirable,

or four feet on each side. This
affords excellent protection from the
severe cold and is most admirable
plan, as one may thus store second

peal to renters, or anyone contem-
plating moving in the spring, as the
products will be much easier reach
ed than IL stored in pit, which
might occasion chopping through the
frozen ground and fishing fruit or
vegetables from the old fashioned
hole. Whenever the pit is employed
for the storage OF farm truck. it is
necessary that it be provided with
ventilators every eight or ten feet
to allow the internal heat to escape
and IL this is not done. ferment and

The Way to Store Farm Truck.

fruit and vegetables for stock feed

practically indestructible, and will

No ranch is complete nowadays with

near the kitchen, may also be used
for store house for keeping the
winter supply of canned goods. vege-
tables, fruits, etc, and for other
household uses. Fruits and vegetab-

sprinkled over the bottoms of the
bins and over the tops to prevent

desired. Or, any clean out-building
may be used for the purpose. Then
sprinkle clean, dry straw over the
floor to depth of four of five in

on. leaving foot space between
them and the boards on the sides
and ends. When the desired amount
of produce is stored, fill in the foot
space on the sides and ends with
straw and cover is over with the
same thickness. laying some light
objects over the straw to prevent
scattering.
Another plan is the pit dug on a
sheltered slope to insure drainage

The Fault of the Boss.

Twenty years ago when you and
l we're on the farm as boys we en-
joyed the swimming hole, riding
the calves. and the time for fish
ing on Saturday afternoon. So soon
as we learned of the happy easy
going life of our city cousins we
made up our minds to go to town
someday at least we would not stay
on the ranch where there was moth
ing but hard work and never a circus
or a picnic to break the monotony
| of farm life. In the spring as soon
as the snow was gone we had to
begin to cut stove wood to use in
the summer. When the ground was
dry enough to plow we had to plow
and harrow and SOW and there were
rot many riding plows or harrows
in those days. 1t was walk, walk.
walk, walk from morning till night.
1t was no wonder that the farm
boy had a slow, irregular step and
wondered why his city cousin
could walk along with such a light
step. We know the reason now
since we have learned how to fig
| walk in breaking up an acre of
land with a fourteen-inch plow
and how far he would walk in har-
rowing the same acre. We do not
wonder now that we had so many
leg aches and back-aches when we
were boys and now we begin to
see why there has been a scarcity
of farm help and sometimes a
scarcity of farm products in this
great agricultural country of ours
where there is land enough to pro-
duce the food products to feed
the world.
The young men were driven from
the farm by the incessant, logged
labor and in many cases more by
| the complaining father or boss as
he was called. The boy felt that
his work was not appreciated and
not more than half paid for. There
was the city with all its enjoyments
and gaiety. There he found a con-
genial welcome and plenty of enjoy
able companions. Is it any wonder
that the boy came to live in the
city? This important question is
still with US and is still unanswer-
able. We ask ourselves why is 1t
that so many of the trades and pro-
fessions are over crowded. New
conditions teach new lessons. The
city of twenty years ago would
hardly attract a farm boy now but
the city of today allures the farm
boy of today, and we must remedy
the condition.
The present census is showing
an unhealthy congestion of popu-
lation in the cities as compared
with our rural districts. We meas
ure everything by dollars and
cents and so long as We do that
farm labor will be looked upon
as degrading or lower in the scale
as compared with other labor. All
the trades and professions have
short hours for days labor
while in many cases the farm hand
is expected to work twelve hours
or sixteen hours a day. The more
we study this question the more
difficulties we see in working it
out There is one way by which we
can remedy this evil-and help the
cause of farming-that is by
making farm life more pleasant.
Instead of chasing dollars let us
chase some of the pleasures of
life. Let us farm for the sake of
farming. Let us make farming the
grandest and the noblest of all
the professions of mankind. 1t is
the oldest one, so let US honor it.
Teach the children to honor it.
Then we will induce our city cou-
sins to come and take up the hon
orable calling of farming.-H. c.
Walker.
