Value OF Sweet Glover
In The Apple Orchard

Our people have never come TO re-
alize the importance of sweet clover
as the means of securing a supply of
humus for the soil. Let us look into
the case of James Stell. of Eckert.
Delta county. He has a twelve year
old orchard I'm which the sweet clover
is allowed to grow on "A heavy min
eralized surface composed largely of
the oxide of iron with gyp mari for
the sub-soil. This ten-acre orchard
has never been plowed since it was
planted and enough hogs are run In
it to keep down the melilotus which
being biennial plant dies out in two
years while the roots remain in the
ground to rot and furnish humus.
Enough Of the clover is left to seed
back and thus it replenishes itself
automatically. The entire soil has
turned to a black loan ana IL is the
most productive piece of ground in
the country, growing the most ap-
pies to the acre and never failing to
to produce crop of large saleable
fruit. The trees are robust and
thrifty and two years ago survived
the attacks of grasshoppers which
denuded the trees on an adjoining
place. This escape however is cred
tied to n flock of eighty turkeys
which paraded the grounds and
kept down the hoppers and the same
can be done elsewhere II the people
will only take the trouble to bring
in the turks.-Field and Farm.

Wants Stray Notices
In Local Newspapers

The Denver Post is right in de-
manding an investigation OF the
stat board Of stock inspection COM
missioners. Not that there is or has
been any crooked work going on, for
we haven't the slightest idea that
there has been, but simply to show
up a condition that has existed there
for a number of years upon which a
single newspaper has fattened at the
expense OF the rest of the state. The
Press refers to the law or order OF
the board which decl-res that all
stray stock shall be b i'd by the brand
inspectors and advertised in the Den-
yer Record Stockman, which was
made the official organ of the stock
growers association of Colorado.
The endeavor was made at the time
this order was promulgated to force
every stockman to subscribe for
that psper, which prints practic-
ally no news whatever and makes
money on the number of estray no.
tices being published constantly. The
result is that scarcely ever an estray
is found because no one sees the "offi-
cial paper" These notices were for
merly printed in the local paper
where the estray was found and they
were nearly always located. This
practice should by all means be re-
stored for the reason that the stock
man takes the local papers and will
see all stray notices.-Montrose Press.

How They Do Things

Wedding of Young Couple
At Bross House Sunday

Last Sunday morning at ten-thirty
o'clock in the Taylor apartments at
the Bross house, Miss Louise Han
cock of Louisiana and MIR. Dean C..
Taylor OF Milwaukee, Wisconsin were
united in marriage. Rev. John w.
Heal, priest of the Episcopal church
officiated with the impressive ring
ceremony. The groom, who has been
i'll for several weeks, remained seated
during the ceremony, and the bride
gowned in white and carrying a bo-
quet of white carnations, stood be-
side him. The only guests I'm attend
ance were Mr.. and Mrs. C. T. Taylor,
parents of the groom, Mrs. L. H.
Bross, Mrs. Leroy Kennedy. Messrs.
Edward Blackwell, Robert Fender
and Thurston Mowry. The wedding
is the elimination OF a romance
which began just three days before
the groom came to this place to take
charge of his grandfather's estate.
Miss Hancock was teaching in an
eastern city and to the place at
which she was boarding one day
came young Dean Taylor with his
father and mother. 1t was a case of
love at first sight and within two
days after their first meeting they
were engaged. The young man then
came west and has since resided here
with the exception of a short trip
east the past winter. The bridal
party left on Mondays train for
Milwaukee. Later in the season they
will go to the Ozarks.

Democratic Editors Say
Pledges Before Plums

A hastily called meeting OF the
Democratic Editorial association
was held in Denver Monday evening.
1t is said that the friends of an i'm
mediate caucus on the senatorial
question expected that most OF the
members distant from Denver would
fail to receive notice in time to get
there. but the platformists used the
telephone with the result that they
secured the attendance OF a majority
of two to one. The association
adopted a resolution setting forth
that 1t is the duty of the Legislature
to pass the measures promised In the
state platform at once before any
choice of senator and expressed the
opinion that the candidate who dis
played the greatest activity is secur-
ing the passage OF such measures
should be chosen senator. The meet
ing demonstrated that the Demo-
cratic editors OF the state are. 10y n
large majority, I'm favor rofredeeming

iority represents a much larger

responsible for any failure to carry
out these pledges. this meeting surely

M6XiCO'S Election

Mexico has redeemed herself in the
estimation of America and the worC
by her quiet elections. For severa
weeks there has been little real appre-
hension about election day, though il
has been pretty generally. feared that
there would be local disturbances here
and there. The contest over the vice.
presidency bid fair at one line to reach
stage of bitterness boding i'll for a
quiet election Sunday. And the pres
ence of Gen. Reyes was always dis
turbing factor.
The row over the vice presidency
quieted down, and Reyes left the coun-
try, when it was seen that Madero and
his friends had full control of the popu-
lar supporo. The Reyes crowd was un-
able to win confidence, and De la Barra
steadfastly refused to allow his name
to be used, so that the contest rapidly
narrowed down.
Madero will be president and he will
at least begin his term amid conditions
of comparative domestic tranquility.
He will have a hard time reconciling a
practical, statesmanlike policy with the
promises of demagogs who claimed to
be his friends and followers. His trou-
bes will come when he has to explain
to the ignorant ones why the millennium
is postponed. But he deserves the con-
gratulations of all the world now on the
successful and peaceable consummation
of his desires, and his swift acceptance
by the Mexican people, Ell Paso Her
