Consult with your help.
Nearly every one can grow phlox.
Good, clean runs are delight to
the hens.
A good COW is seldom sold, except
at high price.
Are you troubled with crows about
your chicken yards?
Feed very little soft feed and you
will raise more chicks.
Glover can be grown more cheaply
than timothy or fodder corn.
Bran and meat meal help to supply
the young sows with muscle and bone.
By putting a little fine hay in the
calf's mouth daily she will soon learn
TO eat
Parsley Is next to lettuce In winter
marketing-both profltable-when we'll
grown.
One of the most important problems
Of the farmer is to feed his animals
economically.
Borrowing tools, and sending them
home dull or rusty, doesn't make the
other fellow grin.
Young as we'll as old orchards should
be plowed In the fall, and thoroughly
narrowed in the spring.
Celery seed should be sown in q
shallow drill and covered with Just 8
light sprinkling of fine earth.
Don't cultivate the potatoes wher
out in bloom, or coming out, unles,
you want lot of stunted little tubers
II there are signs of worms in you
hogs, feed concentrated I've, one-hal
teaspoonful to each animal well mixed
In slop or soft feed.
II sweet butter is to be made which
will command the highest marke
price, cleanliness must begin in thi
stable where the milking is done.
Go over the young apple trees and
cut on every water sprout with ,
sharp knife close to the trunk. Ok
1t early and they will heal this season
The proper time to set out fruit
and deciduous trees is the latter par
Of October and the latter part O
March or FIRST part Of April, in tn.
spring.
It is estimated that Colorado farm
ers last year received $7,500,0O0 TO
their sugar beet crop, an increase o
100000 over the product Of tn,
previous year.
4 In the opinion of many eastern
feeders, best development of livestocl
cannot be had without the use O
roots or silage to supply succulen
feed during winter.
String stout wire overhead in tn
cow barn and hang the lantern to thi
while milking and feeding. 1t can b
slid along from place to place and
safe handled this way.
4 In setting one fruit tree, or many
the ground should be deeply plowed
thoroughly narrowed and the row
for the trees run out with the two
horse pillow. Run the plow twice ii
each row.
4 A eve without milk makes poo
+ mother. Feed If necessary to get tn
milk how, and you'll find the invest
ment a good one. Roots Of any kind
alfalfa hay, or small grain feed vii
work wonders.

to stout posts set two and one.hal

other attorneys are trying TO show that
George A kimmeI- the famous Niles

in an Oregon forest while on g search
for buried gold in August 1888
SFinney. a rancher Of Nara Visa n
NJ who says he killed the man who
killed Kirnmel told in his dispositions
on cross examination how he and his
comrades dug up two half gallon glass
fruit jars. one containing IS and the
other 1o4 Sz8-dollar gold pieces q total
of $4,000. Each of the jars he said
was little more than half full. and
he supposed two jars we're used be
cause one would not quite hold the
whole.
John r Green one Of the insurance
company's lawyers took close notes on
this part of the testimony, then went
to a bank. stopping on his way TO buy
a half gallon glass fruit jar
He took the Jar into the bank and
his 200 shining double eagles We're
