ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

These are the days that are demon
strating the value Of early spraying o.
fruit plants.
|. Clear up the greenhouse and geI
fresh soil in, ready for a new crop O.
plants next winter.
Stop cultivation in the orchard anG
seed to a v crop. Late cultivation
encourages late growth, which is oh
~jectionable.
This is the time Of year when the
we'll cared for garden is reducing the
table expense greatly, besides giving 8
fine variety Of food.
Early celery Is about ready to blanch
for market. Paper or boards are usu.
ally best to use, as they are not SO
likely to cause decay in warm weather
as is dirt.
Many Of the wild Towering plants
are worthy Of growing in the home
yard. Some that have been especially
good this year are the New Jersey
tea, Indian puccoon, milkweed, wild
sunfower and blazing star. violets,
%bloodroot and other spring flowers are
sometimes transplanted.-Le Roy Cady.
Associate Horticulturist, University
uorm ST Paul
Another method OF sowing is to
cover or plug up all but the first, sew.
enth, etc., holes in the drill with the
Indicator set at the same position as
before. This will take about n
pound per acre and will put the rows
forty-two inches apart, far enough to
be- cultivated. In the eastern part of
the state it Is best to use a nurse
crop Of about three parts of barley
or Sixty-Day oats per acre. When a
nurse crop is used, however, it is i'm
portant to watch the field carefully
during the summer and in case the
weather becomes dry it will be better
to cut the nurse crop for hay when
it is headed out than to let it get
ripe, because If the nurse crop takes
too much Of the moisture the young
alfalfa plants will die. In the western
part Of the state it is probably not
advisable to use a crop at all,
but the weeds should be clipped about
every three weeks and allowed to lie
on the ground in order to protect the
young plants more or less. If you
wish to grow alfalfa be sure that your
ground is well prepared, and If you
have no corn or potato land available
be sure to roll the field after spring
until it is thoroughly COM
and then loosen the surface
with a harrow. Probably more alfal-
ia failures are due to the lack Of a
compact seed bed than to any other

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.

Canadian immigration reports for
the last year show check in the
tide of American emigration to the
Canadian west, and even return
movement Emigration from Great
Britain to Canada is also slowing
down, but the influx from southern
Europe continues at the normal rate.
This means that the most desirable
class of Canadian immigrants are los
ing interest in the country, although
the less desirable type-ltalians,
Slavs, etc.-are pouring is as fast
as ever. Naturally the fact is dis
appointing to the Canadian authori-
ties, who would rather have one in
telIigent American farmer locate on
their unoccupied land than score
of ignorant Europeans.
1t is hardly likely though that the
tendency is permanent. Land hunger

acres as are to be had in the western
provinces of Canada will not lonl

RACE MEET PROMISES
TO BE BIG SUCCESS

The races to be held at the fair
grounds Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of this week, under the auspices
of the horsemen of the San Juan ba-
sin are going to the best ever seen
in the southwest, is the concensus of
opinion of all who have visited the
stables and seen the horses in action
on the tracks.
For years Joe D. has held the local
track record, 241s. Trackmen have
tried in vain to lower it. Now it ap-
pears they have very good chance
of. doing SO. More than one horse
that will be entered seems to be equal
to the task, and their owners are cer-
tain there is not the slightest ques-
tion about their delivering the goods.
Many of the entrants have been in
training for weeks. Perry Craig ar
rived from Alamosa with fine string
Saturday evening. Brice Patterson,
Of Pagosa Springs, has reserved four
stalls and is expected in tonight.
Rose Mary d. and Paragon, especial
ly the latter, are old-time favorites
in the section. The other two horses
are less known. Hudson of Farm
ington, is expected tomorrow with a
candidate for the Delmore derby.
Delmore, the celebrated thorough
bred, that was imported from Eng
land few years ago, will partici-
pate in each days events. He has
an enviable record and his track work
during the period of training indi.
Gates that better things than ever
may be expected. Both by nature and
by curry comb, he is one of the hand
soonest animals that ever graced any
track.
Nine of Delmore's colts are candi-
dates for. the Dslmors. derby. They
range In age from two to four years,
only two. Of tbs number having st.

A SENATE WITHOUT SENSE.

The United States senate has or.
dered that none of the money ap-
propriated for farm demonstration
work be used in connection with like
funds to the amount of S250,000
which are given by the general edu-
cation board for the same purpose
1t seems that Mr.. Rockefeller gave
S40.000,000 to the education board
and part of this income, amount
ing to $250,000 annually, has been
used to pay salaries of employees wha
have been trying to make better
farms, to kill pests like boil wcev,
and so on.
But such is the pres mt ontcry
against tainted money" ,ha Mr.
Rccaefeller's cash cannot J e used ever
to help the farmers. All of which
shows how thoroughly idiotic and
senseless the United States has be-
come in these latter days. On the
one hand we hear constant outbursts
against the selfish use of money by
wealthy people. and then We find a
body like the United States senate
refusing To accept . .,nillionaire's
money when 1t is, given. for such a
useful and respectable
purpose as killing boil veewl,--Colo-

FEDERAL TROOPS AT LAST.

But they will not remain there in

and one that he calls Bobolink. Bar
ney Dreyfus has raced all over the

has been the winner and now holds
the track record in Kansas. Bobo-
link, as his trainer destignates him, is
believed to be the dark horse" of
the event. OF him doc" will say
little, but those who have watched
the horse on the tracks are convinc-
ed that he has a reputation and that
those who witness the races will find
a big surprise awaiting them in the
animal AS to what horse he really
is there is no end of guessing Lit
tie Joe is in the language of the
trackmen, "green" horse that gives
promise of doing some excellent work.
Perry Craig, of Alamosa, has four
horses in his charge, Dick Beebee.

track record. Lady Calvin is full
sister of j. w. Horton, one of the
most famous young animals on the
tracks today. j. A. Naples win be
remembered as the horse that gave
, Delmore the run of his life on the To-
: cal tracks last fall. Rosemary is yet
untried, but gives promise of doing
something worth while.
In Dick, his owner, L. R. Cox is
certain that he has horse that is
capable of carrying off the honors
and he is going to do it. His recent
; work indicates that Mr.. Cox has oc-
rasion to predict great things of him.
The track is in fine condition. and
: the promoters of the races have the
weather mans promise to deliver the

the entire time the event is in prog

tlons Manager Haller and his assist

1.-THE world long ago beat a path
says the Globe-Democrat, "to the of
flee of John Forrest Dillon, for
mer general counsel of the Missouri
Pacific, whose death at the age Of
so removes the country's greatest ex-
pert on municipal bonds. For years
there has scarcely been a bid on NUM-
cipal bonds Offered for sale by any
city, great or small, in the United
Stated that did not contain the pro-
vision that the validity and regularity
of the issue must be approved by
Judge Dillon. From the very nature
of things he could not personally in
vestigate the laws of the various
states and the steps taken by the
municipality for authorization of all
these bond issues, but he had large
and well-trained office force for
whose work he could afford to vouch.
So great was his reputation for
thoroughness and probity that his ap-
proval, based on examinations made
by his subordinates as everybody
realized it must be, was accepted
without question by investors" Judge
Dillon was on the United States cir
cult bench ten years, resigning to be-
come professor of equity jurisprud-

In order to reap we must sow, and il

that the modern education of the

What does the farmer get out of
all this? He has the privilege of
paying the expense of the civil wars
Of Colorado, in the way of taxation.
He is obliged to cut the weeds along
his premises in the public highways
He is compelled to support the board
of horseshoers, BARRIERS, medical ex-
a mi narc ..nharmacists hoard. and 9TH
er boards too numerous to mention
with all the stenographers, clerks, Of

very extensive liabilities fastened up.

may be received by his employees, not.
withstanding their own negligence
and many other items that might be
enumerated, that the people of this
state are fully aware of, especially
when they go to the county treasurer
to pay their taxes, and the end ap.

standing the fact that, by reason OF
Ithese civil wars, the mining industry
has been destroyed in Colorado, which
afforded heretofore the principal mar.
i Ret for his products, and by reason
thereof his land has been deprecated
in value, so that he is unable to sell
the same for one-half the assessed
valuation thereof
1t seems to me that it is about
time that the farmers took hand in
this game, to assert their own rights
and to protect themselves from fur
ther burdens that they will be COM
PEELED to bear.

Where Does the
farmer Come in!

1t don't make any difference who
| am, except to say that I am an
old fogy farmer, having placed the
savings of my lifetime in piece Of
ground that | have been pleased to
call my home.
In my youth was taught to revere
the flag of my country, to honor the
names Of Washington and Lincoln.
and to believe that the constitution
of the United States constituted the
greatest principles of human liberty
that has even been conceived by the
human mind.
With these old fogy ideas, and as
farmer. have been. noticing for a
number of years the controversies be-
tween labor and capital, and l have
been wondering where the farmer
comes in or whore he gets off.
1t seems to me that the farmer is
the most important factor in civiliza-
tion. He feeds the world. He had
hand in the creation of this great
nation; the formulation of its consti.
tuition; the development of the ideas
of human liberty that we now en-
joy, and the adoption Of the stars and
stripes as the emblem Of our coun-
try. He took part In. and gave Of
his blood and means and the strength
and best years Of his manhood te

great blessings. that he and his child
