Have you ever seen the poison ivy?
1t is beautiful vine and the leaves
are artistic and glossy
Yet If you pluck one of them you

remain.
Temptation is a poison plant on
which grows flowers of Haunting
beauty, but if we gather one its virus
ray scar our lives for years to come.

Nvno read these words may be gazing
fascinated on some flower of tempta-
tion. Before you touch it, stop and
consider just what 1t means. Perhaps
it is a poison.
But once this temptation is yielded
to the flower will begin to burn your
fingers and poison your blood.
Years and years and years you may
toll in honesty and patience and prayer
yet the scar will make itself visible
when you least think it and shame and
torture you anew.
Perhaps it is the temptation of un-

you attempt to find happiness by cul-

PNEUMONIA WAS
VERY PREVALENT
More Deaths in January Than
Have Been Known For a
Long Time in State

More deaths occurred during the
month of January than in any month
in several years, according to the fig
ures of the State Department of
Health. There were $40 deaths
and 1914 births, the births being
lower than for months.
The death list shows a big jump in
pneumonia as a cause of death and
still more remarkable one is the
deaths due to influenza and Bright s
disease. The figures for the month,
which was marked by severe weather
show:
Typhoid fever, rs; scarlet fever, 80:

Egg Production Is Secondary


We have all noticed the poor, thin
and emaciated condition of the hen
that has been sitting on a nest for a
couple of weeks, and perhaps mar
veled at her ability to sustain life at
all, when we consider that she eats
and drinks very little, and takes prac-
tically no exercise. If it were not for
her internal storehouse, on which she
draws heavily for sustenance, she
would not survive. Before she started
TO sit, she carefully stored up a sup
ply of fatty tissue that was intended
to help nourish her during the period
of her inactivity, and the deprecia-
tion of this supply is what causes her
to become so thin.
Egg production is in reality the re-
suit of stimulation, or what is
sometimes termed q secondary circu-
lation. Fowls eat to repair and re-
store the daily wear and tear on the
body tissues, and If this nourishment
is merely equal to this task alone,
there is no surplus left to go to the
production of eggs. 1t is the excess
of nourishment that which is assimi-
lated over and above the daily de-
mands of the body, that goes into the
stimulation and active development of
the egg organs, and they progress no
faster than this nourishment is pro-
vided.
Obviously, the broody hen eats so
little, that her egg organs soon become
contracted, and revert to the dormant

variety is a diminutive Hamburg in
general shape, with rose comb, white
earlobe, and a big Widespread tail car
ried low. Like all Bantams, it is a
good layer.
But like all other Bantams, the
Rose-Comb White is strictly an orna-
mental fowl. 1t cannot he reckoned
with as utility proposition, for its
eggs are small and unstable, although
very useful for the home table. The
young fowls themselves are good to
eat, being so small that they could
pass for quail. They may be kept in
a very small house, and eat so little
feed that the amount consumed is
hardly noticeable.

as high next Autumn, maybe
higher, consequently IL behooves

64O-ACRE HOMESTEAD
BILL WILL MEAN
INFLUX OF SETTLER

That the passage of the proposed
64O-acre homestead bill, which is
now before Congress, and which is
likely to become law yet this
month, would bring many new set
tiers to this section, and similar sec
tions of the state, is evidenced by a
large volume of inquiries for land in
this and other sections of southern
Colorado.
The 640-acre act is designed to
get settlers to take up large bodies
of land, upon which it will be possi-
BILE for them to make a livelihood,
when they could not make a living
on one half of that acreage BY be-
ing permitted to enter land to the
extent of $40 acres, the prospective
homesteader can lay his plans to
produce hay, roughage, ETC., on a
part of his homestead, and the re-
mainder can be used for pasture for
his stock. BY having it all under
fence he can keep a small dairy herd
and this herd, together with such
side lines as hogs, poultry and a
good garden, he will be able to keep
his family and possibly lay up a
small sum each year, besides.
With 640-acre homestead law in
effect, under present conditions it
will be possible for a great number
to take up homesteads adjacent to
and in some of the mountain parks,
where the homesteader can have 3
few acres of highly fertile land
where the moisture is supplied by
springs, or where the fields can be
irrigated from smaller mountain
streams.
In this section, homesteads have
been picked over, many have been
entered, some have have undergone
final proof, and deeds issued for
them. 1t is said that the cream has
been taken from available home
land and only the poorest land left
for future entrymen. This is con-
ceeded to be true in the strict sense
but nevertheless there are thousands
of acres which are yet to enter, and
which will be taken up very quickly
under a 640-acre law. Land which
is left now has not been homestead
ed because even 32O-acre tract
could not be secured in one body,
without including considerable un-
desirable land, which is not wanted.
Under a 640-acre law this land
which has been picked over and left
can be taken up under the larger
act mad larger area of good land
held by the homesteader It costs
no more for the homesteader to live
on the larger tract; his farmed area
necessary to make final proof is
about the same size under either en-
try and he has the added advantage
OF being able to retain the added
acres for pasture and additional
good land for growing hay and crop.
In this way the enlarged homestead
will support sufficient quantity of
stock to make him living.
This in the main is the principal
involved in the proposed enlarged
act. 1t is possible for homesteder
to make living on $40 acres of well
selected government land, when he
could not, on smaller area
