Mr.. Thayer was from Monte Vista

Ranch and Ragc !:
GRAZING AIDS
IN RESTORING THE RANGE

From Beef Production in Colorado'')
Those familiar with western ranges
since the early days know that the
open range has greatly deteriorateS.
thru oyer-Zrazing. John Painter Of
Roggen, Colorado. who has been II.
the state since the early eighties. has
made a careful study Of grazing con-
dItIOns and gives some interesting Oh
seryations- In 1856 his four-y.tr-ol,i
steers sold of grass direct to the
packers weighing 1888 pounds; in
1857 steers Of the same age weighed
l,27s pounds; in 1883, l.22s pounds;
and in 1893 only I,lO0 pounds, and
sold as feeders. Mr.. Painter is. il.
the sand hill country and experiment
ed with seeding over twenty kinds of
grasses without any beneficial re
suit. Then he tried leaving certain
parts Of the range TO reseed itself
and has greatly improved the carrying
capacity Of his pastures. He report
Is or l6 different grasses on his land.
some well relished by stock and others
that are left until everything Else l.
eaten. II the range is over-grazed
the palatable grasses are killed out
first. and only the weeds and the
coarser grasses get chance 20 re
seed. IL Is only necessary 10 keep
of the stock until the grasses have =
chance 20 make seed. then cattle will
be turned on and will help 10 dis.
tribute and cover the seed. This Is
known as deferred grazing, and can
be applied 10 different areas each
Year
Another practice Of great benefit is
TO take stock of the grass in the
fall before the old grass is eaten of.
The old grass helps to hold moisture
and snow thru the winter and protects
the young grass in the spring when
the young grass alone would he too
washy. Mr.. Painter turns off hay
onto grass around April 90 of each
year without any shrinkage in weight
Another reason for taking care of the
grass is tnat poisonous weeds como
in as the grasses die out, and when
the grass Is eaten down close the cattle
eat poison weeds they would not touch
otherwise. Mr. Painter tells of hav-
ing been called TO where number OF
cattle were dead of larkspur poison
ing on an adjoining ranch. The lark
spur had grown up so thickly on this
ranch which had in the past been con
siderably over-grazed. On walking ,c
his own fence TO see If his pasture was
affected, he found that the larkspur
stopped at the fence, owing to better
growth Of grass on his pastures.

EARLY MATURING PULLET
THE ONE TO BREED FROM

The pullct that takes eight months
or more to mature Is not as o rule a
paying proposition. II not only costs
more to keep her until she lays. bu.
the very weakness which made her a
late maturer prevents her from max
ing a good record the rest Of the year.
In addition she misses the period OF
high priced eggs. There are too many
late developing pullets in Colorado.
This is why most of the eggs ccnsum-
ed at this time of the year in Denver
are shipped into the state. :
Early and late maturity are in
herited. Don't breed from a late de-
veloper. Put leg band on every
bird that has begun laying to date.
Next spring pull the bands from those
who have moulted or which have very
little egg capacity in the rear. These
two trips to the hen house will save
you a lot Of trouble and guessing when
you want to pick your breeders next
year and will pay in the improvement
of your stock.

LIVESTOCK NOSTRUMS ARE
FLOODING THE MARKET
'tBy Geo. II. Glovcr)

The dictionary defines a nostrum
as-"A medicine, the ingredients O:
which are kept secret for the purpose
OF restricting the profits Of sale To
the inventor or proprietor; quack
medicine"
When times are hard the fakir
prospers. There are never so many
proprietary medicines advertised in
the stock journals as now. In ninety-
nine cases out of every one hundred
these cures" are disappointment.
There have been hundreds Of Cure
alfs" for tuberculosis, hog cholera and
contagious abortion. Like every dog,
they each have their day. These
nostrums remind US of Emerson's
statement-"There are probably two
thousand dogs in the city of Boston,
but one of them could do all the busi-
ness"
These remedies are kept secret and
many of them have been found to be
absolutely inert drug. Secrecy is the
refuge Of the charlatan. The things
worth while in disease and treatment
have been discovered by long, pains
taking, scientific field and laboratory
investigation. Utopia cannot be
reached by one jump; there is no
short cut; We must go all the distance.

The money paid every year for use
less panaceas would go a long way
toward paying off the public debt. We
are still looking for fountain of
perpetual youth, but knowing very
well that there is no such thing.

Indians Used BroodUay

Weekquaesqwek path Is the Indian title which was given to the road through Manhattan island, now known as Broadway, says an anonymous his torian, according to the New York World. The long, mpossible-sounding name Is that of tribe which once oc- cupied the upper end of the island and 1t signifies "People-of-the-Birch Bark"
 Long before Hendrick Hudson made his memorable cruise up the river, the Indian pathway which, because of its great width, came later to be known as Broadway must have been a scene of great activity and used constantly as an ordinary path without pavement would soon disappear through the ac- ton of rain and growth of vegetation It was so thoroughly beaten down by the tramping of redskins that today, if modern Improvements were taken away, the remains of the original path would still be found"

Forests Once Couered
 Whole United States

Before the coming of the white man forest fires were then as now caused by man or by lightning, says the re- search bureau of the National Lumber Manufacturers association. The h. dians practiced the burning of forests, prairies and swamps in order to en- courage the growth of berries, to drive game and also as war measures. The early chronicles of the settlement of the United States contain many in- stances of the Indians setting destruc- tive fires.
 There is some reason to believe that 1t was recurring forest fires that ere ated the great prairie regions of the middle states, part of the barren lands of Canada and the present extensive parks in the Appalachian and Rocky mountain regions. There Is geological evidence that the entire United States below certain mountain summits was at one time or other forest land.
 Within the last fifty years forest fires have destroyed the forest charac- ter of more than SO,0OO,0OO acres of land in the United States On the whole, forest fires have probably de- stroyed more timber in that period than has been utilized.

Wet-Weother Product

In Indo-China rice Is grown under very different conditions from those in America. In Cochin-C China there is no irrigation; the rice is planted at the beginning of the rainy season, and all the necessary water is supplied by the rains that fall continuously during the growing period. The use of seeders and drills is impossible, as the ground Is entirely covered with water at seeding time. The rice is planted fin little patches and then transplanted when . sufficient ma turity is attained. In Tonkin and Annam large tracts of land are being prepared for irrigation and modern methods will be adopted.

Uss of Columns Caus
 Charm to Old Houses

Much of the charm of old Colonial houses in the United States and of the plantation mansions of the old South was inherent in the use of the architectural column, an element pop ular wherever men build beauty as well as sound construction into the structures they erect.
 For thousands of years, from far off antiquity. architects and builders have found nothing so utilitarian and beau tiful as the column. Most all of the famed buildings of the ages owe much of their character and beauty to the use of columns as important exterior and interior structural details.
 A column fulfills its purpose when 1t really supports the structural weight above it. It should never be a false ornamental detail forcing the structural support to be gained else where. Steel Is material which lends itself particularly well to col umn construction and Is capable of yielding that sharpness of line that a genuinely attractive column ought to possess.
 AS general rule 1t will be found that Roman or Greek Doric goes well with the simpler design of building. Roman Corinthian, Greek Ionic and the more dorid variations due to Renaissance influence fit in logically with the more pretentious type of building. interiorly and exteriorly.

Clytemnestro's Hunor

Sophocles makes Electra describe Clytemnestra as Laughing triuu phantly" over the murder of Aga. memnon; but Electra was a preju. diced witness. Killing an undesired husband is no laughing matter, though triumph over its accomplishments when failure means death-is a legiti. mate emotion. Clytemnestra was a slngularly august and composed sin. ner. Not from her did Orestes and Electra inherit their nervous systems and not on their testimony should we credit her with an excess of humor alike ill-timed and unbecoming.-Ap. mes Repplier In the Yale Review.
