Bad Apples Shipped
to Denver Market

About the worst sight We have seen
In long while was the arrival In
Denver the other day OF several car
loads OF bulk apples from the Man
zanola district. They were badly mix
ed and all Jumbled together In the car
the good with the bad and all more
or less bruised and wormy from care
less handling and bad orchard treat
ment These apples were undcrsized
and showed clearly that they had not
been grown right. having evidently
come from trees that were allowed to
produce wood instead of fruit. They
were such a cheap lot that they bare
ly paid the freight and some OF the
hucksters who are always seeking
cheap things turned them down. These
apples should have been fed to he pigs
on the place or sent to a nearby CT
der mIll.-Field and Farm.

should be discouraged as young trees
be better to lose a seasons work than
to stunt the trees by over-irrigation
1t is common opinion among fruit
growers that the orchard should not
be irrigated in early spring especially
in the blooming period Some think
that Withholding water will retard the
blooming period but we find the trees
out in leaf and I'm bloom at a certain
time of the year. The orchard that
goes into the winter in the proper
condition does not need an early irri-
cation. Excessive irrigataion in and
after the middle of the summer does
not help the development of fruit
buds, rapid growth as result of over
irrigation retarding the fruit buds
similar to a heavy crop of fruit.
II the orchardist wishes to promote
fruitfulness. prune in the summer and
do not over irrigate. Avoid letting the
ground get too dry for a long period
as it will hasten the ripening OF the
fruit Small fruit can be transformed
by using plenty of fertilizer in the or
chard. The opportunities of the young
fruit grower are many. Stock and
poultry bring good incomes according
to the locality. Apparently the west
ern people Were sleeping upon their
opportunities but they are awakening
to realization of their brightest
dreams but it is fact that the west
must grow the bulk of the sun kissed

that an encore was demanded by up
roarous clapping. Miss Felter grac-

garian Dance"
Prof. Weldon was called upon to
give his deferred talk of yesterday.
The professor made a few predatory
remarks and then gave the time up to
discussion, which he thought would
be more beneficial ana would have
more lasting effect than if he alone
talked. The topic which was discuss
ed was some insect pests" of the year.
Prof. Weldon named quite a few and
then passed specimens through the
audience for inspection. I-e also
named the various poisons that would
kill them and then told which one he
thought best and the reason why. All
the time questions were asked by men
in the audience which brought out the
various phases.
Prof. Weldon stated that arsenated
lead, lime and sulpher, or Helebore
were all poisons that were used in
killing the insect pest but that arse
mated lead was preferred. by him.
"Arsenated lead at the right time and
right place viii kill any of the in
sects." The Leaf Roller, Green fruit
worm, Scale insects both the San Jose
and the Howard, the Aphis. woolly,
green, Glover and Sweet Glover, are
all pests that the fruit grower must
battle with contended the professor,
and he stated many ways to get rid
of them.
Prof. Bennett talked upon, Orchard
Management to Improve Colorado
Conditions" but did not finish his dis
course before the noon recess so his
lecture was continued after dinper.
He stated that he believed no orchard
should be planted on raw soil neither
should II be planted in old worn out
soil. The best he thought was land
that had been planted to alfalfa or
clover for two or three years. The
best orchards he noted had been
planted in that kind of ground. He
spoke of the various methods of graft
ing and explained why 1t was help
full. He said that many people had
mistaken idea about grating. For in
stance. many people thought hard
study and constant application
were needed to do good graft
ing when as fact some
people have learned in fifteen minutes.
Prof. Benefits talks during the in
stitute were very instructive every
one and the people of Fremont county
and of the society in particular owe
him a debt OF gratitude.
The most enthusiasm that was dis
shown at the noon hour when num-
ber of the members went through the
audience collecting the annual dues.
Every one had a dollar ready fer them
and many new members joined Sew

THACKERAY AS A TALKER.
A Grand oratorioal Display That Did
Not Take Place.

Thackeray was terribly self con-
scious and. usually presented a very
poor appearance when he attempted to
deliver a speech. "Why can't they get
Dickens to take the chair?" he grum-
bled when he had to preside at the
general theatrical fund. HE can make
a speech. and a good one. I'm Of no
use. They little think how nervous !
am, and Dickens doesn't know the
meaning Of the word"
An amusing story is recorded Of the
occasion when. with Mr.. Fields, the
we'll known American publisher,
Thackeray travelled to Manchester to
make a speech at the founding Of the
Free Library institution in that town.
The would be orator declared that, al
though Dickens and Bulwer Lytton
and Sir James Stephen were to pre-
cede him, he intended to beat each OF
them on this occasion. He insisted
that Mr.. Fields should be seated dii
rectly In front, Of him so that he should
not miss a single word.
Later. as he rose, he looked at his
friend as much as to say, "Tll show
you what speaking Is" He began flu

FATTED SHEEP.
Tails of the Syrian Bleed Weigh Ton

meaning of the Biblical phrase. 1.-The

scribes the process in her book. "Da-

1.-THE sheep differ from ours. When
we show pictures Of the latter to the
natives they ask what animals they
are. They miss the enormous tails Of
the Syrian sheep. in which the fat Of
the body seems to concentrate and
which, after skinning and preparing.
often weigh ten to fifteen pounds.
early in the summer the head of
each family buys or sets apart one,
two or three sheep, according to his
rank In life or his wealth. The wom-
en- and children devote themselves
with great zeal to fattening these
sheep. The children, fill large baskets
with mulberry leaves and carry them
to their mothers. These several times
a day and also in the night take lit,
tie wooden stools and sit by the sheep
With one hand they keep the Sleeps
mouth open; with the other they cram
in the leaves, forcing them down the
throat.
"Twice Il day the sheep are led to
the village fountain to drink, and their
coats are frequently washed. About
the end of September the work of The
women and children comes TO an end
The sheep have grown 30 fat they
cannot stand up. They are then killed
Their flesh is boiled with spices ant
put into pots for winter use. This
mincemeat Is eaten as a relish at fes
tivities."
