Aside from their work in this line,
the Blackwells are turning their at
tention to the speedy development
of yard facilities and are erecting
another big lumber mill, with
daily capacity said to be even

concrete dam across a creek run

near lone, for the purpose of hold

they may float their logs down to

Two.thirds of the increase in tax as

is attributed to the growth of Wash.

adjoining territory of Maryland. The
returns of the assessed value of prop

tai increase of over 100000, as com.
pared with that of the preceding year.
Two-thirds comes from the apprecia-

things that made them open their

said will make whole lot of people
open their eyes:

was a boy, back on the Wabash" said
Mr.. Cannon. Just as you boys have to
do 1t today. but learned then to live
within my income, and have kept up
that practise ever since. If you keep
within your incomes now you will be
able to do it when you are man, and
thus you can save little for a rainy
day"
The speaker time told an interesting
story about his own daily routine
How. when his daughter was away
and the house was closed, he got his
breakfast at a little restaurant across
from the treasury. He added. Five
cents for cup of coffee, FIVE cents
more for an egg sandwich. good cot.
fee and good clean egg, and as
wholesome a roll as you could get
anywhere; that makes a cost of 10
cents, but sometimes If / want little

five cents more to the breakfast cost.
Now. ! am not too proud to get that
kind of breakfast, and | feel better
for it, and more able to do the hard

How many government clerks who
are earning a salary of 5000 year

than you will find living on 90 cents

All settlers want to plant crops
which will give some returns the nrst
season. so they want to know wha'
crops are likely to grow well on sod'

for the horses, cattle and poultry
which are necessary to the mainten'

help in this, but 1t must be supple
mented by field crops grown upon a
large scale.
The surest fodder crop for stock is
sorghum. 1t grows fully as well upon
sod as upon old ground. 1t Is not nee
essary to disk the sod before planting
sorghum. but It can be planted In rows
three feet apart with either grain drill,
corn planter, hand planter, or 1t may
be planted in every third furrow while
breaking the prairie.
Kafir corn and milo maize may be
planted the same way as sorghum,
and in the southern part of eastern
Colorado. these may prove fully as
valuable as sorghum. The milo Will
give some grain which is valuable as
feed for stock, and especially for
chickens.
White Australian flint corn has
proved valuable as sod crop. 1t
yields a large amount of fodder. and Is
the surest to make grain of any va
riety tried in eastern Colorado. Swad'
ley is one of the surest dent corns. but
It does not make so much fodder as

there are a number of local varieties
which have been developed by selec
