TIMELY ARTICLE.
Some Good Advice to Farmers
Given by The. Progress
sive Farmer. Read
and Heed.

It had been our desire,- while dis.
cussing general farm management,
to devote one or two articles to the
question of fences, their value and
cost; but it seems to be more in
keeping with the spirit of "timeli.
ness" which we hope TO make a
prominent feature of these articles,
to say something just at this time
about preparing the land for the
spring crops. During February,
rains are apt to interfere more OF
less with field work; but whenever
the soil is in anything like satisfac-
tory condition any unbroken land
intended for spring crops should be
piowed. With this early breaking
there will be less temptation to use
fire for getting rid of grass, stalks
and other materials on the land,
which when turned under rot and
form humus, so much needed by
practically all our soils. Even if
these materials can be only partially
covered, and a second blowing is
necessary to thoroughly mix them
with the soil, it will pay to go to
this or other extra trouble, rather
than burn them.
Keen the Fire Ont of the Fields.
We feel certain that those who
still use fire for cleaning the fields
of vegetable matter, which might
be plowed under, do not fully ap-
preciate the value of any humus-
forming materials to our soils. 1t
is, of course, true that less of these
materials are now burned than for
merly, but the practice is yet much
too common. Last February the,
writer rode across one of the States
in our territory, between dark and
midnight, and had he not been fa-
miliar with the habits of the South

''Your husband might have a lit

'But how am I to tell?" inquired
the anxious wife.
''The convalescent stages OF IN

marked by slight irritability:"
The next day he called and found
the patients wife radiant.

LETTER FROM ARVADA BOY
TOURING THE OLD COUNTRIES
Telling of the Scenery, Customs and
Many Other Interesting Features
of Those Countries.

The passage from Dover to
Calais was perfectly delightful
in spite of the fact that the
water was yet much disturbed on
account of the three or four
days of storm preceding. My
cousin and her husband saw me
off, and | felt like a real tourist
again when the good-byes for
six weeks were said and | was
off again for the continent to
see more Of its fascinating Won
ders. My cousin introduced me
to the English custom officer who
goes back and forth between
Calais and Dover. He told me
some amusing experiences he has
had in his work. To prevent the
spread Of contagious diseases
among dogs, the English govern
ment has passed some very pro-
hibitory laws. This inspector
found one woman with a small
French canine concealed in her
clothes. A man had a contriv-
ance whereby were hidden hun
dreds Of cigars. 1t bound him
so rigidly that he could not stoop
to unlock his trunk, so the in
spector caught him. The skirts
here are worn so tight that when
he sees an ultra smart woman
with a full skirt he at once sus-
picions that she is a smuggler.

After consuming the greater
part of the day at Gatune we
took the train in the evening and
returned to Colon. The Steam
ship Company accorded us the
privilege of living on the boat if
we desired at the rate of $3.50
per day, with our baggage re-
naming in the State room, and
we were not called upon to pay
for meals or State room unless
we enjoyed the same.
Hotel accommodations at Colon

negro who perhaps could or
could not, although we did not

hotels, at Colon. The Washing

magnificent cathedrals of Europe.

wonderfully they built in times

nearly 700 years old. 1t was 6S
years in the building. The west
facade is one of the most remark
able | have seen. 1t contains
three lofty recessed porches,
adorned with relefs and statues.
Above the portals are hand
some gallery, nitches containing
twenty-five Colossal statues of
kings of Judah, a magnificent
rose window 3S feet in diameter
and still higher a gallery con-
Meeting the towers. The inter-
ior gives one the impression of a
great well-lighted space. The

GREETED BY
A BIG CROWD
The Surprise Store Opened
Its Doors Saturday Morn
ing Promptly at 9 o'clock
Eager Buyers Were Wait
ing in Line to TakeAdvant-
age of the Great Money
Saving Opportunity.

The sensational sale swung
into action Saturday morning
and judging from the present
outlook it is proving the greatest
sale event ever attempted in Ar
vada. The crowds poured in and
packed the store from early
morning until late at night.
Think of such a gigantic
slaughter of new, dependable
footwear, dry goods and clothing,
all bought new within the past
few months. Every article in
the entire lot is on sale.
This store is here to stay and
proposes to be known always as
Arvada's bargain center. Ne
cessity demands the raising Of a
large amount of ready cash,
which explains why this great
slaughter event is now in action.
You read of sales every day,
but this one is proving something
entirely out Of the ordinary and
very different from any which
the trade Of this vicinity has ever
attended. The price reductions
are genuine and every article
must be as represented or money
is cheerfully refunded.
To those who are skeptical Of
sales, or who have not attended
this sale as yet, we wish to say
you are missing a great chance
to supply spring needs at sub
stantial saving.

truths and real bargains, as in
this event, will always produce

Continued from last week.

When l presented my letter
from Colonel Siebert, the colonel
said that he would take pleasure
in having US shown the great
work in a motor car, which car
ries eight people and runs on
rails, and as they have rails all
through the works it made very
nice means of conveyance; as
stated, the car carries eight
people and l was accorded the
privilege of inviting enough
friends to fill the car. They de-
voted about two hours to US in
showing US the great works.
Comparatively few people en-
joyed seeing those works as
we did, undoubtedly due to their
not having prepared themselves
with the proper credentials be-
fore undertaking the trip. 1t
was certainly a great privilege
to us to be shown the work as
we were.
At all the principal points along
the line the United States Gov
