WAR ON OPIUM

Volumes could be written of the
ruin and havoc that the poisonous
drug has wrought in the life of
China. It has poisoned the lives
of thousands upon thousands of
China's citizens and made human
wrecks of those who otherwise
might have been useful citizens of
the country. 1t has impoverished
the people not only in the matter
of intellectual attainments, but has
taken wealth away from the coun-
try for the enrichment of aliens
who waxed fat on the degradation
and misery of people who had
been led morally astray. 1t has
transformed thousands of homes
into a vale of tears and made of
rich, productive country a desolate
wilderness. Wherever its dread,
foul breath has rested, there ad-
vanoement has been on the wane.
Many, if not all, of China's sorrows
can be traced to the opium fiend.
The Chinese government is de-
termined that opium should disap-
pear from our shores, and that at
once. Its doom is sealed. It is
destined to become, and that very
shortly, one of the discredited in
stitutions of the past regime. To
bemoan the loss of a trade that
can never return shows sheer in
eptitude and want of courage to
face altered conditions. As long
as opium finds a place in China,
the country can never hope to
occupy that honorable place in the
family Of nations, socially, morally
and commercially, to which she is
Justly entitled. For these reasons.
opium must go. Different times,
different conditions. 1t is the law
OF cause and effect. 1t has ever
been thus and thus will it always
remain.-The China Republican.

ASSOCIATION OF
POTATO GROWERS

The Colorado Potato Growers
association is now a full hedged
organization, ready for business
and doing things rapidly. The
principal aim is to find the source
of the blight that has cost the state
approximately SlO,OOO,OOO in two
years, and after eradicating it to
throw protecting influence about
the potato raising industry that
will prevent any future diseases.
The growers delegated a legis-
lative committee with power to
present bills to the Legislature.
The measure that is most popular
and will probably be presented to
the lawmakers is one that provides
that county commissioners may
name a county agriculturist and
pay his expenses.
In addition to this it is the de-
sire of the growers that state pro-
lection be extended, including a
state officer with power to quaran-
tine and otherwise regulate the
potato industry. Protection is
given by the state to fruits and
some agricultural products, but the
potato, perhaps the most impor-
tant food article raised on the farm,
has been unguarded until it is al
most wholly at the mercy of the
pest.
E. r. Bliss of Greeley has been
elected president of the association
and w. ID. Price of Montrose, sec
retary. The board of directors is
composed of one member from each
potato district.

FEEDING FROM SILOS

In accordance with desire to
obtain the best results from stock
feeding, the use of the silo is be-
ing largely adopted. The range of
use is not restricted to dairy stock
but should produce admirable re-
suits in fattening cattle, hogs and
sheep.
In the San Luis Valley, peas
can be used instead of the corn of
the eastern states.
An interesting bulletin issued by
the Agricultural College contains
the following paragraph:
"The field pea 80 extensively
grown in the San Luis Valley of
Colorado should make good silage.
Henry shows the Canada field pea
silage to considerably exceed corn
silage in richness. In its green
state the field pea shows an analy-
sis very similar to the COW pea.
Maryland compared silage from
the latter with corn silage and OBJ
tained a slightly better milk yield
from it. The field pea, like alfalfa,
should be ensiled when mature
enough for hay, should be finely
cut and thoroughly packed into the
silo."

Although we deplore the steadily
advancing prices of building material
and labor We are often reminded of
the truth of the old adage that there
is no great loss without some gain.
In e~ndeavoring to present houses that
all could afford, ever at present
prices. we have learned to
in ways that otherwise would no
have been thought of. Particularly
is this true in regard to space that
heretofore has been wasted in angles
and irregularly shaped rooms. We
are learning that by making the rooms
compact we can accomplish as much
in a moderately proportioned house
as We previously did in houses much
larger. We gain much by throwing
the small rooms together with wide
openings, thus getting the effect of
large, airy apartments.
In these days of flats and apart
ment houses small families are not
accustomed to living in a great big
house with a parlor and sitting room
and one or two chambers. Conse-
Quently the story and a half cottage
is becoming cry popular. and the
bungalow even more so, having all its
rooms on one floor. One large liv-
able room is a splendid substitute for
the parlor and sitting room. The
small kitchen Is very popular among
. the modern housewives, especially
among those who are accustomed to
the small kitchenette of the fiat. The
small house diminishes the fuel bill
and Is much more easy to care for.
Many home builders are of the opin-
ion that pantry is a waste of a
The cupboards can be much more

There is an independence about
owning ones home that is not felt

ground. There is nobody overhead

fiat below taking lessons on a piccolo.
The design here shown is of a story
and a half cottage embodying many
of the ideas mentioned above. 1t Is
81 feet wide and has a length Of rs
feet, exclusive of porches. This house
has beer designed especially for the
family Of moderate means that has an
ambition to own a home. 1t is not
expensive, and the best possible ad-
vantage has been taken of the space
requirements. The cost Of this house
should not be above $500 complete.
The compactness of the design is
the noticeable feature about it. Both
of the porches, the front and the rear,
are under the roof. This adds much
to the artistic appearance of the
house, and in effect these porches
can be made outdoor living rooms by
the addition of screens between the
pillars. This will be a matter Of
small expense, and when equipped

matter of fact 1t Is the experience Of
most families who occupy houses Of
this kind that nearly all the time is
passed OF the porch.
This house can be built of frame
construction and finished either with
siding or with plaster. We would
advise the latter as being ultimately
less expensive as to upkeep, for 1t
will require no paint. although cost
ing at the outset a little more than
siding. The ultimate cost will be
much less and besides the appearance
will be better.
Another attractive feature of this
house is the bracket effect produced
under the caves. 1t makes a finish to
the design.
