The European sportsman, mighty

to the blush when comparing his meager
ccount of a da-'s shooting with tho re-s-l
bags mnac ly the Indian llajahs and

British India. There may be less phys
ical exertion, and consequently less
physical improvement, in the monster
battues of the East than in our more
.lomely and vigorous sports, but the to
tal is something very magnificent in

Frollt In Colorado Farms.
On account of the fertility of the
soiL the superiority of the climate and
the great advantages of irrigation,
, Colorado is peculiarly adapted for the
successful operation of Mnall and
medium-sized farms, if conducted by
men of intelligence, experience and
j enterprise, and there is perhaps no
greater opportunity for tins class of
fanning in any state of the Union than
at present exists in Colorado. Over
live million of dollars is annually sent
from Colorado to other states for the
purchase of small farm products which
this state could and should produce.
The soil of Colorado ranges from
light sandy loam to the deep alluvial

the crops of all the eastern states and
for many of the crops of the states
north and south. Xo better climate
exists for agriculture in its various
forms. The freezing of winter is suf-
! ficient to secure a mellow, clodless
soil for spring plowing and planting.
The springs are usually early, with
sulllcient precipitation to germinate
alt crops without irrigation. Under
the influence of perfect summer days
coupled with the superior benefits of
irrigation, the growing ciops are
forced to cartyantl complete maturity.
The characteristic mildness of late
autumn weather gives exceptional op

crops and the last cutting of alfalfa,

As an adjunct to a small Colorado
farm there is no industry that will
yield a more profitable return on the
capital invested than poultrj'. Colo
rado Is now sending other states over
1,000, 0C0 a year for eggs and table
poultry, but the people of the state
are steadily awaking to the fact that
it is really cheaper to pay a higher
price for home-raised eggs and fowls
than for inferior imported eggs and
poultry. Near the cities poultry farmers
get from private customers as high as
tiTt cents a dozen the year round, and
from 10 to 13 cents more than the
average store price for fowL
rnici: ok land.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that small farms, say of about fort'
acres, thoroughlj cultivated, devoted
to dairying, hogs, poultry, fruit and
market gardening, have a home mar
ket for their products. J he present
Colorado farms usually run in size
from f'O to 320, or even a greater num
ber of acres, and many arc now roads
ter subdivision, but small farms can
frequently be purchased, leased or
rented. The price varies according to
proximity to city and railroad, rang
ing from over S-'OO down to '.'0 per
acre, including water rights.

Ashes as Absorbent.
The best use that can be made of
coal ashes is to sift and put them, un
der the hen roost as an absorbent,
says a writer in "American Poultry
Advocate." Sifted eoal ashes absorb
liquids, fix volatile ammonia, thus pre
venting offensive odors. Hut with
wood ashes it is different. The "worst
possible use you can make of wood
ashes is potash, which makes it a very
valuable manure. Uut put under the
hen roost the potash mixes with the
ammonia another valuable clement
in the hen manure and the potash is
changed to the volatile carbonate of
ammonia and away it goes up among
the fowls, perhaps cloiag much dam
age to them. After the heat has sub
sided you have a manure that
isn't worth very much. This process
is generally termed heating. Coil
ashes "fix" the ammonia so that it
does not heat and yet the ammonia is
retained all the same and 3Tou have a
valuable manure. Some people say
that you should never put wood ashes
where the hens can wallow- in them,
claiming that the potash in the ashes
will make sores on the legs a ad bodies
of the fowls. Now it will not do this
unless the ashes or the fowls' bodies
arc wet, and wc claim that this is the
real use of wood ashes in the poultry
yard. You can have a box Avith a cover
in which to keep the ashes, shutting

A Forest of Lightning.
Tho "St. Elmo's Fire," or electricity
scen playing on the bayonets of march
ing urmies, and around the spars and
masts of ships, comes from the presence
of a ' charged " cloud in the air, from
which the ioiuted objects draw tho
lightning.
A splendid instance of this same
phenomenon was witnessed in the Jura
at St. Cergues, where a whole forest of
pine trees was seen to be aglow with
light, like a phosphorescent sea in tho
tropics. A thunder-storm was raging at
the time, and at every Hash of lightning
the illumination entirely disappeared,
but soon shone forth again until the
next Hash came.
Before the appearance of this St.
Elmo's lire, heavy rains had fallen and
soaked the forest, so as to render it con
ductive of electricity, and the thunder
cloud overhead, heavily charged with
electricity, had induced an opjiosito
charge on tho ground below, which dis
charged itself into the air by the point
ed boughs and needles of the pine trees.

matter of fact, Colorado is annually
sending to other states about SI, !(),-
I 00(1 for dairy product:., S1."(.00() for
pork supplies, over $1,00.1,000 for poul
t; produce and considerably over
SV 0.1,000 for fruits, all of which ought
to be raised at home.
I Tliete is a growing publie sentiment
on the part of the citizens of Colorado
to give the preference in their pur

to encourage home industries, but be-
' cause of their superior quality.
I DAIKYIXO.
I While dairying is annually growing
in importance, the creameries and
1 cheese factories throughout the state
have often more local orders than they
can supply. The fact is there are not
nearly enough milch cows in the state
to supply the home market for dairy
products. While some of the dairy
men are conducting the business on
the most improved methods and conse
quently making money, others, who
sell milk to the creameries, keep cows
which do not yield above eight quarts
per day and do not milk some of their
stock to exceed three months in the
year, in fact, they are simply range
stock producing calves and some milk.
The ereameries pa- an average price
the year round of ;."" cents per 100
pounds for fresh in:lU. and keep only
the separated cream. The cheese fac
tories pay about S cents per 100 pounds
more than the creameries and return
the whey to the farmers. The average
annual wholesale price of Colorado
1 creamery butter is - cents a pound.
There is a state law against oleo anil
a state dairy commissioner to see to
its enforcement. If more cows were
kept in Colorado ami more butter and
cheese made, the by-products would
result in a greater number of hogs, be
ing raised and fattened, and Colorado
would no longer, as now, send ST.Vt.
000 per annum to other states for live
hogs and an additional 7 .0,000 fur hog
products.

plants arc traced oven up to the time
of harvest. In order to determine in
what way the causes of these diirer
cnecs are due to differences iu
chemical composition between the
heavy aud light weight wheat,
twelve samples werj secured ranging
in weight from fifty-live to sixty-five
pouuds per bushel. These sa.uples
of wheat were all grown from
one lot of seed, aud in different parts
of the state. The differences in grade
anil weight per bushel of these wheat
samples are due to differences m soil,
climate and methods of cultivation,
and not duo to seed. The important
differences that are to be noted as to
the amount of reserve plant food stored
up in each kind of grain, are observed
among the separate mineral mattars
that are found in the ash and taken
from the sol. Every hundred pounds
of wheat, whether light or heavj- weight,
contains about two pounds mineral
matter, bat the separate eo-upjunds
such as potash and phosphites are
present in quite different amounts in

is the bsst tcason of the year for
the hens to produce eggs, and also
to hatch out chicks. It is not un
usual ta have a lot of line, healthy
hens that do not lay when spring ar
rives. As a rule, all hens that have
not given a good account of themselves
in the winter will begin to lay as soon
as spring opens, and keep at it until
late iu the summer, but the farmer
who has been generous to his hens in
winter is more disposed to con
tinue the same food in sfing
and he gets his hens en
tirely out of condition for laying. It

more phosphoric acid and potash, and
less of nearly all the other elements
th-in the light weight seed.
The summary of the experiments is
as follows:
1. Heavy weight seed wheat con
tains a larger quantity of more valu
able food materials for the -young
plant in the. form of nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash, than light
weight wheat of the same variety.
This additional reserve f jo.I is sup
plied to the young plants, and pro
duces a more vigorous growth.
J The additional fertiliser mitcrial
that is present in a bushel of heavy
weight wheat is worMi froai three to
live cents more per bushel.
:;. The same characteristic differ
ences that are nottd between heavy
and light weight seed wheat are ob
scivcd between healthy an 1 vigorous,
and poor and sic'vly wheat plants even
at tl.c time of harvest.
1. The wheat plant takes up over
three-font ths of its food from the soil
before heading out.
.. The soil must be cultivated and
i fe raged in such a way so as to supply
the growing wheat crop with at least
three fourths of its mineral food aud

Gkass anp M::at Fooi. In the
spring it is customary to depend large
ly upon the early green food. We
have known farmers to turn their
hens out on rye early in the i-pring,
the result fcciug that the he us became
poor and ceased laying, although they
also had grain at night. This was
caused by the rye being too laxative.
When very early in the seas ui, after
rye bcgir.s to grow, it is composed
mo.tly of water, the water containing
also laxative salts in its composition,
the hens being reduced in llesh and be
coming debilitated by feeding upon it.
The proper inetho 1 would be to allow
the hens a mess of meat (about a
pound to sixteen hcns or cut bone
and uuat in the morning, turn tliG
hens on rye for an hour, and gradually
extend the tinyj daily, giving a full
rcess of grain at night. Ev.
XnaifiiSM's Fooi. Hens will not
lay a large number of eggs unless they
have nitrogenous foods, but will
bjcome too fat on grain and soon cease
to lay, as a nile preferring to hatch
out broods of eh'c't. Ground meat, cut
bone frum the butcher, sheep livers,
trimmings of lean meat, milk and
curds are nitrogenous food. Reduce
the grain in proportion as you provide
the other foods. Whenever possible,
let the hens be compelled t scratch
for their grain. There is but little ad
vantage in mixing ground grains, un
less for the purpose of adding some
thing else, such as linseed meal, and
too much work is done in that way.
Sunflower seeds will answer in place
of linseed meal. It is better to feed"
whole grains and scatter them widely

made them sovereigns, and the loco

very much iner.-aso the time which

following results : He transplanted ten
'lierry trees while in bloom, commencing
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Those
transplanted during the daylight shed
their blossoms, producing little or no
fruit, while those transplanted in tiie
lark maintained their condition fully.
Jfe did the same with ten dwarf trees,
after the fruit was one-third grown.
Those transplanted (luring the day shed
their fruit : those transplanted durinir
