FRICTION MATCHES MODERN
American Whose Idea Was Pat.
ented by Another.

Friction matches arc a comparative
ly modern invention. They were first
made By John Walker in England. in
1927. but were rather crude affairs.
He improved them sohewhat in 1853
by using phosphorus. The first really
practical frictiont match was made in
the United States in 1886 by l.. C. Al
len of Springfield. Mass. Before this
time a clumsy form of match was i'm
ported from France. which had to be
dipped into a bottle of sulphuric acid
before 1t could be lighted.
This took q great deal Of time and
trouble. and Allen, seeing the neces-
sity for friction matches, set about to
make them, and succeeded. He neg
lected to patent them, however. and on
finally applying for letters patent
found that man named Alonzo Phil
fps. who was a peddler, had dascov-
cred through a third person the secret
Of making the matches and had al
ready obtained a patent. Thus Allen.
though the real inventor. was forced
to become a mere manufacturer under
another mans patent

This Western Land.
BY B. H.

Land of opportunity, thou great
wide barren plain,
Stretching limitless beneath the
western heaven:
Land of mighty winter snow and
gentle summer rain,
OF wholesome vitalizing air
what promises thou hast gi-
ven!
Retiring art thou, modest, with
thy precious powers reserv-
ed,
For the man whose work and
wooing are increasing;
For him whose heart is strong
and true. whose patience
hath deserved
Thy favors each year bounteous-
ly increasing.
l love the with eay changing sky
thy broad free prairie lands;
l love the sweetness of thy morn,
thy sunsets glory,
The drear mysterious bowling of
thy lonely coyote bands.
l love the for the strangeness of
thy story.

The Summer Pasture.

Probably the greatest difficulty
in the way of livestock and dai-
ry progress to the farmers Of Co
dorado is the pasture problem.
This difficulty can be met by the
use of the silo for preserving
summer feed. The silage putin
to the silo. in the fall can be used
the following summer and will
take the place of pasture grass.
The tonnage of corn per acre
which it is possible to raise, up
to the stage of maturity demand
ed for the making of silage rem
ders this a profitable means Of
pasture shortage.
