TIME HAs PROVED VALUE
OF THB su.o

=
A banker of Colorado recently
made the remark that, with the build
ing of silos in his community, the
farmers have more money to spend,
buy better things and have become
more satisfied generally.
That is to be expected. By the
use Of silage the farmer reduces the
cost Of production, increases his net
income, raises more and better live
stock, buildrs up his soil, secures large
Yields from his land, and has employ
ment the whole year round.
silo building is an indication Of
better farming and increased pros
peritp, because it enables the farmer
to make the most Of his operations. =

My Kingdom to Be a Horse.

The Lamar Sparks is urging that
the whiskey confiscated by the state
constabulary be used in treating the
horse plague which is causing the
loss of much stock. The agricultural
department says that whisky IS the
best cure for the disease, but the
trouble is that if the plan is carried
out, half the men in the state will
begin to Whitney and snort and kick
up their heels SO the veterinarians
will think they are horses.-Golden

COLORADO CROP NEWS

Revised reports compiled by the
State Cooperative Crop reporting Ser
vice show that approximately "a per
cent of the corn planted in the state
this year was harvested for grain, the
remainder being cut for silage or for
fodder, hogged off or abandoned. The
sameseries of reports show that about
10 per cent of the corn acreage was
harvested for silage, nearly 16 per
cent harvested for fodder alone and
the remainder hogged off or abandon
cd. According to those figures there
was something more than $4,000 acres
of corn harvested, for grain in the
state, with an average yield Of 1858
bushels per acre, making . total corn
production of sbout 100000 bushels,
which at prevailing prices is worth
about 100000. From the best in
formation at present available the val
ue of corn silage put up in the state
this year was in excess of $4,000, 900.
Final estimates made by State Co
operative Crop Reporting Service show
that about SO per cent Of the grain
sorghum planted in Colorado this year
was harvested for grain. Reports of
county assessors show total of 1885,
apparently 136,50O acres was hsrvssts<
605 acres planted to this crop, Of which
for grain, most of the remainder being
harvested for forage alone. Reports in
dicate an average yield of about 14H
bushels per acre, or q total production
of 1,973,0OO bushels. This is much the
largest production of grain sorghum
ever reported for the state, despite the
fact that the average yield per acre
was below normal. No figures are at
present available showing the amount
of grain sorghum forage produced.
Final estimates of the values of
crops grown IN COLORADO TINS year,
made by the Sta,e Cooperative Crop
Reporting Service, show that hay con-
tinues to maintain its position as the
leading Colorado crop in point Of value.
Early reports indicated that wheat
ght advance to first place this year,
but the season was exceptionally un-
favorable for wheat in some of the inn
portant wheat producing districts and
as result the total production Of
wheat is far below that indicated hy
early reports. The value of this crop
will be in the neighborhood Of $751;
100000, while the hay crop will be
worth above $S5,O0e,0OO.

Not Ready for Tourists. (New York TimeSD

No country. in the recent past of ''before the war" that now seems so remote, was more attractive than Italy to foreign visitors. and in none probably, did so many people depend in part or whole for livelihood on the money spent by the peaceful army of strangers. Multitudes of Italians than impatience for the resumption of the tide of tourist travel. That however, is not to come soon, for the Italian railway directorate has issued a warning to all foreigners that not until the end of next year will it be whose business is not of more es- sential and necessary sort than sight seeing.
 In other words, the tourists are ad- vised to keep away until the Italian railways have recovered from the confusion into which they were thrown by the war. Whether this pro- hibition, or inhibition, applies to tour ists of the sort that travelled in auto m obiles owned by themselves or hired is not stated They had come to form class of considera ble size and their expenditures were large enough to make them welcome wherever they went. But as they are not told that they are wanted, probably they, too, should defer their accustomed visits for the present.
