Land Selling at High Prices.

Farmers from all parts Of the Mid
die West are spying out the land in
Colorado and are buying tracts at un-
heard-of prices. grazing land Is going
under lease rapidly with a marked
growth OF the stock interests in the
state, and. despite the weather. IL
censes to prospectors for mineral. oil
and gas are being issued. according TO
William MacNichol, chief clerk Of the
state land office. I'VE are disposing
Of from 5000 to 10000 acres at the
sales every month";" he said. and we
have averaged about S12 per acre.
which, believe. is a record. During
the last two years we have leased
about 100000 acres Of grazing land
and the demand has not ended. Tne
rate has been OF per acre Besides
this. there has been a considerable &C.
tivity in filing on the federal land
throughout the state. Our activity,
however. has been throughout eastern
Colorado. The Logan. Weld and Nor
gan county rainbelt has been particu-
larly attractive. Pueblo county has
had quite a little oil and gas stir. We
have issued a number Of oil and gas

Liquor Shipment Fees Total 1885

Liquor Shipment Fees Total e1,sss.5o.
Fees OF the county clerk and re-
corder for liquor shipments into Den
yer for October came to nearly as
much as the fees received for record
Ing deeds and other instruments. The
fees for recording amounted to ST.
075.s0, and fees for liquor shipments
amounted to $1,9Ss.5 .5O-only 1890
more for instruments than for liquor
shipments. When 1t is considered that
only rs cents is charged for liquor
shipments, whether 1t is several bar
rels or case, and mortgages and
deeds run from 60 cents to $3.50. an
idea may be drawn as to the compare
tive business of the two items in

TREATING WOUNDS OF STOCK
pisinfeetant Of Some Kind Should Be
Handy In Every Barn-Potasslum
Permanq2nate Is Good.

There should be in every barn a
quantity of disinfectant that may be
readily mixed with water and used in
the cases of wounds sustained by any
of the stock. Potassium permanganate
is excellent, and can be purchased at
any drug store in powder form and
used in water in amounts such as will
color the water light red. 1t has the
advantage over many antiseptics Of
not Irritating wound. But any Of
the commercial antiseptics will keep n
wound free from Infection If used ear
ly, and the formation of large running
sores will thus be prevented.
A scratch or wound small as it may
be at first may quickly become infect
ed and then 1t will not heal until the
Infection has been freed from the
germs that are causing the trouble. But
If treatment is begun at once the trou-
Bile can usually be prevented by bath
ing two or three times day with an
antiseptic solution which will keep the
wound clean SO that it will rapidly
heal.
The best home treatment of old
sores is to bathe them two or three
times a day with hydrogen peroxide
and syringe them out with warm wa
ter followed by small quantity Of the
same antiseptic.

BUILD THE FENCE, PROPERLY
Absolutely Necessary to Construct It
Well In Order to Secure Maximum
Amount Of Service.

To get the maximum Of service out
Of fence it is absolutely necessary
that it should be well built. The cor
ner posts must be placed solidly in the
ground in such manner that they
cannot be heaved by frost or drawn
loose by the pull of the fence.
The fabric should be strung tightly
to the end posts. but 1t ought not to
be tightly stapled to the line posts. It
should be fastened to line posts In
such manner that the wires may move
in horizontal direction to take care
Of the contraction and expansion due
to changes in temperature, and to dis
tribute the force of blow along the
fence line so that the strain will not
come entirely on any one or two posts
or any one point of the wire.
A barbed wire should be placed a
short distance above the top of the
woven wire to prevent cattle and
horses from crowding it down when
reaching over or rubbing against the
fence.

ECONOMIC FOLLY.

1.-THE Saloon is I'M Economic Folly
and Must Co." is the slogan of busf-
ness mems league of Oakland. CAL.
with a membership of over 500. A
statement signed by the league in
cludes the following clauses:
"The liquor traffic exists at the ex-
pense of all other industries.
The revenue to the state, derived
from liquor licenses, is overbalanced
by losses to the state inseparable from
the use of liquor.
''Its elimination is good business, be-
cause it will promote thrift, economy
and prosperity This will mean more
work and better wages.

either or both of the two proposed
amendments affecting the liquor traf-
fic. to be voted upon this fall by the

heartily. Only trifiing amount of
grain is favored for them, and shred
ded fodder is advised.
Shetland mares are remarkably pro-
life, are bred regularly every year.
The colts are naturally hardy, the po-
MES are seldom sickly. They are ready
for any ordinary work at two and a
half years.
@. A. Waugh, writing In Country
Life, says: Mature Shetlands sell all
the way from $75 upward, with the
bulk Of the animals going at $125. At
the latter figure there Is clear profit
of $50 in the transaction for the
breeder. Besides, If he produces his
own feed, he has received full market
value for it, and at the same time has
fed 1t out ut cost much less than
that Of delivering to the local market.
In addition the feed has produced the
same proportionate amount of manure
that 1t would produce were it fed to
any other animal on the farm"
In winter only rough shelter is
needed for the sturdy creature. The
Shetland has heavier coat of hair
than any other d0mesticated animal ;

STRONG FOR TEMPERANCE.

A well-known preacher riding in
London omnibus was entertained by
dialogue which was sustained upon
the one side by the driver and upon
the other by an elderly passenger.

began the driver.

"Perhaps 1t doesn't agree with
your" ventured the driver.
'Well. 1t really don't agree with
anybody. But that isn't it, either.
The thing tnat sets me against it is
a horrible idea"
"A horrible idea! What is it?"
"Well 35 years ago was sitting in q
hotel in America with friend of mine.
and says, Let's order q bottle of
something And he says, No, sir.
I'm saving my money to buy the gov

''Well, sir, today those two acres

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

'In Chicago We hear much about
personal liberty" says Mr.. Fred Eber-
ling, secretary of the Cooks union
Chicago, especially during campaigns.
What do the brewers mean by per-
sonal liberty? The three big personal
liberty gardens Of this city have told
the representatives of their employees
that they will not deal with them ex-
cept as individual employees while
the brewers belong to the Chicago
liquor trust, an organization which
wages war against organized labor.
When license was refused to one Of
these beer gardens, the cry for person
al liberty was heard from the big
liquor combine, but when seven days
per week workers make a demand for

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY
Most PaIatable and Nutritious II Har-
vested Just Before Ripe, Says
Missouri Station.

Timothy hay to make the most pal
atable and most nutritious feed should
be cut before ripe. Investigations
made at the Missouri experiment sta
tion showed that timothy cut during
the period from blossoming time to
the shedding Of the bloom was pre-
ferred by cattle to ripper hay and that
they received more nutrition from 1t.
1t is usually the custom to harvest the
timothy crop when it is nearly or
quite ripe, but the above mentioned in
vestigation, would go to prove that
earlier harvesting would be more ad-
vautageous.

WHO WANTS OPEN BARI

M
s(Part only Of verses by. T. Watson In The

Not they who live by honest work
And never would that duty shirk
2 Which calls them from afar.
Not they whose enterprise employs
The skillfui men and active boys
Who know each mast and spar.
Not they who on the battlefield
Are willing all they have to yield
For truths victorious star.
Not they who rightly live their lives
And would not leave their sons and wives
To bear oppression's scar.

Who wander oft so far:

To tell the kind of men who say.

He didn't take the money to the mo-

his abode In merry humor. He opened

ous grin. Madame Henri rose from
her chair and faced him. and hot
wave efs anger swept over her. She
forgot her phenomenal strength when
shegstfuck him. He fell to the floof
IKE sack Of meal. and she realized
that he had taken hi last drink.
On succeeding days neighbors
paused. as usual. at Madame Henri,s
garden gate, to gossip bit, and she
volunteered the information to all Of
them that her husband had quit drink
Ing and was going to settle down. He
had gone away to look at several prop
critics which were for sale, and she
didn't know when he'd be back. After
wards the netghbors remembered that
she had harped upon this matter In
sistently, bringing it up every time she
talked with them.
A quarter Of mile away from the
Henri cottage there was stream, and
upon the bank Of this stream there
stood gristmill. One morning as the
miller was going to his daily task, he
observed queer-looking object on one
of the blades Of the waterwheel. With
the help Of long pole, hooked at the
end, he pulled the thing on the water
wheel and brought 1t to land. It was
coarse sack, containing something
heavy. He opened the sack and beheld
a part Of human body. With his
dusty hair on end, he went to the vii
lage police station, and the officer ir
charge accompanied him to the rivel
bank and inspected the ghastly tiscov
cry.
'This was done by woman" sait
the village sleuth. "Only a woman
would have used needle and threat

Then he accused her Of his murder In

Eighty years ago Madame Henri had
no idea that her fame would extend
from the village Of Brittany In which
she lived to all corners Of France, or
that her name would ever be spoken
In whispers by nations story-tellers.
She fully expected to lead quiet and
useful life. and in the end be buried
with her forbears in the churchyard.
She was quiet, practical woman, a
fine housekeeper and an excellent man
ager. and everybody respected her.
When she was married most Of the
girls Of the village envied, her and per-
haps a few hated her; for divers dam
sells had made strenuous efforts to
capture the young man who became
her husband. M. Henri was extremely
handsome, and had a hundred charms
and graces. He was the best singer In
the countryside, he was full Of witty
stories, and the way he could dance
was a caution. Everybody admired the
young man. Well, 1t Is true that the
old cure shook his head now and then,
when Henri was mentioned. The young
Ian was too fighty. said that reverend
man. But the cure was hopeful when
he heard the name Of Henri's bride.

and she abhorred waste. without being
