TAxOF 100000 ASKED
FROM sRNEFIcIARlEs-oF OF JOHN H.

eficiaries Of the will Of the late John
H. Harbeck, Colorado and New York
multimillionaire. to recover approx
mately 100000 alleged to be due this
state as Inheritance tax, was filed In
New York by Leslie Hubbard, state in
heritance tax commissioner.
Hubbard claims to have affidavits
by which be can prove that Harbeck
was a resident of Colorado at the time
of his death. Nov. 8, 1910. II he es-
tablishes this point the bulk of the es-
tate will come under the laws of this
state. When Harbeck died the estate
was appraised at $3,041, ,02o.S7. Many
Of the stocks have since become. war
brides, and 1t is estimated that the es-
tate will now reach $15,000,000 in
value.

Kate Harbeck, the widow; Albert 8.

defendants in the suit filed by Hub
bard. The specific amount asked is
$61,037.53, and interest at per cent
since Harbeck's death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harbeck lived in Boul-
der for ten years.
It was presumed that most of Har-
beck's fortune was New York proper

that it consisted principally Of stocks
and bonds and was, hence. assessable
under the Colorado Inheritance law.

HOGS INFESTED WITH WORMS
Animal Cannot Produce Pork Eeonomi-
ealIy While In Weakened condI-
tion-Remedy 10 Given.

A hog that IL infested with worms
cannot produce pork economically, be-
cause Its system Is not In normal con-
dition. Furthermore, such hog is
also more susceptible to contagious
and other diseases than one not af-
fected In that manner. We have Of
ten made the statement that worms
are frequently the Indirect cause OF
cholera. Do not understand US to
say that worms will produce cholera.
says a writer In an exchange. Far
from 1t. Cholera is a germ disease
and can be produced Only by the chol-
era germ, but strong, vigorous hog
Is not nearly SO susceptible to cholera
as Is one whose system Is In run
down condition.
A very good. practical remedy for
worms consists in feeding one pound
Of copperas to 100 pigs for period
of five days. Then feed no copperas
for six weeks; after that feed cop
peras for five days again as before and
continue this Intermittent copperas
feeding from birth to block. The cop
peras should be dissolved In water
and mixed with the grain, preferably
ground grain Of some kind. Many
hog feeders are using this remedy and
recommend it very highly.

PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Quite as Much Depends on Prelimi-
nary Work for Best Development
as on Use Of Fertilizer.

Quite as much depends upon the
proper preparation of the soil for the
best develop mt Of plants as the use
Of fertilizers. A case in point Is that
of an Intelligent Missouri farmer who
lived in a section where the ideal pre-
vailed that wheat could not be profit
ably grown there. He had tried to
raise wheat on his farm, in the old,
rough way, and could get but ten or
twelve bushels per acre. He visited
the state experiment station at time
when a plot of ground was being pre-
pared for wheat and became so i'm
pressed with their thorough methods
Of soil preparation that he prepared
a field on his farm In the same way,
and from this harvested a crop of 35
bushels of good wheat per acre. the
only fertilizer used being stable ma
nure.

TRAINING COLLIE DOGS

First Essential In Breaking Animal for

Upon farms where stock is kept.
well-broken collie dog is an unfailing
source of help and satisfaction, while
an unbroken. unframed dog Is con-
tinual nuisance. In handling stock
with dog. 1t is important that the dog
be well-trained, and that great care
be exercised while the animals are
getting used to being managed by him.
When those two conditions are full
filled 1t is surprising how easily and
economically stock can be taken care
of.
The first essential In breaking dog
for any purpose is to teach him to

fectionate animals and are usually
gratified to do the will of their master.

ment. In breaking dogs to handle
stock 1t Is a great advantage to have
stock that is used to being driven by
a dog. upon which to break the puppy.
Stock that Is not used to a dog Is
often easily frightened. or it may fight
the dog.
1t Is an excellent plan to have an
older and well-broken dog to assist in
the training. as dogs are initiative.
The puppy quickly learns what Is
wanted by association with the older
dog. In training dogs avoid shouting.
1t is as easy to teach them to mind
a single word or a whistle, and much
more satisfactory, and remember that
much more can be accomplished by
kindness than harshness.

SHED TO STORE THE MANURE

EYES OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Backward Student Rapidly Makes Up
Lost Ground When Astiomat-
ism Is Corrected.

The Oldest boy in the class had
been called upon to read and had pro-
duced humiliation on the part Of his
teacher, who was entertaining a WIS.,
itor. The boy bent over his book,
studying out the words one by one.
Smaller children read the lesson off
quickly. Thoroughly despairing Of
Tom, for that was the dull boys name,
the teacher addressed the visitor:
"What would you do with hopeless
pupil like that?"
"Have his eyes examined" the an
swer came quickly.
"Why, never had thought Of that"
gasped the teacher. and then with the
thought came various recollections of
Tom as he sat in his seat crouched
down over his book and her sharp ad-
monition to sit up straight; Of his ut
ter failure to copy problems or SEN
tences written on the board; of his in
ability to learn. which came not from
lack of trying. but from what she had
termed "dumbness."
The teacher visited Toms father
and mother. After considerable per-
lhCy IohseutSu " tuhe tlle Dot
to an oculist. Tom was found to be
suffering from astigmatism, which
caused the words on n printed page to
double and dance before his eyes. A
pair of glasses corrected the difficulty,
and Tom returned to school able to
see as well as any normal boy. He is
still handicapped by being two years
behind his grade, by painful lack Of
self-confidence and by reputation Of
dullness. However, all Of these handi-
caps are being rapidly overcome.
A child who needs glasses needs
them at once and not several years
later. To wait until he has grown
older on the plea that he will break
his glasses or outgrow them is to do
him an irreparable injury.

COVERING FOR MANURE HEAP

Nitrates Are Lost.

The manure heap is a scene of bac-

long the nitrogen Is transformed into
ammonia and escapes. When 1t escapes

Some of the manure changes into nj
trates. and these are washed away and

Nitrates are soluble, and when they
are washed away the farm loses all
their value. A part Of the nitrates
are attacked by bacteria and become
