The experiment of fattening sheep on
growing wheat fields which is being
tried by Charles Southward of Wichita,
Ken. wbo lately purchased 3,000 Mexi-
can sheep and lambs in Southern Cole
rado, will be generally adopted by far-
mere in his neighborhood should the
venture prove profitable.
The retail grocers of Denver have de
elated war on the sugar trust and its
product. ~rhey are determined to sup-
port a Colorado industry of beet sugar
and adopted a resolution that declared
their sentiments. By its terms nothing
but best sugar is to be bought by Denver
grocers, even though the trust cuts the
price to 2 cents a pound.
The Cleveland-Boston mill made a run
of two tons Tuesday on ore from the
Cleveland mine, cleaning up $48~ in gold
and running out concentrates worth $82
per ton. The mill is still working on Gar-
field ore but expects to have their other
two tables in place by next Monday,
when they will ruu Garfield ore with the
day shift and Cleveland ore with the
night force. This mill has been examin-
ed by a few good mining men during the
past week sad they pronounce it first
oless.--Crestone Miner.
J. H. Halley of Delta county went to
the river the other day with a bunch of
lambs of his own raising which averaged
seventy-four pounds. Mr. Halley used
imported bucks on his breeding ewes and
this accounts for the superior quality of
the offerings, few natives could show a

lay a cable from San Francisco to the
Philippines, has awarded the contract

In Alabama Will Dorsey, a negro, has
been sentenced to hang for highway rob-
bery. This is, so far as reliable records
go, the first case involving the death sen-
tence for this offense. The consensus of
legal opinion is that the sentence will es-
tablish a precedent which will be the
means of bringing order into many set-
tlemente in the state hitherto given over
to lawlessness. In his charge to the
jury the judge said that strict measures
were necessary to teach the people the
value of human life.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
have been instituted in the federal court
against Tamblyn & Tamblyn, live stock
commission merchants trading at the
Kansas City stock exchange. The peti-

$250,000. The firm's trouble began
about a month ago when a large loan
was negotiated on a big string of cattle
in Colorado. A Texas firm that sold the
cattle claimed them on the ground that,
they had not been paid for. The banks
supporting the firm demanded a greater
security.
The first section of the Philippines

Grapes, roses, blackberries and some
varieties of raspberries are almost sure to
be injured during the winter if loft un-
covered and all can be made safe with a
few inches of coil. Do not try to bend
the buohos to the ground when they are
frozen but do the work after the sun has
thawed them out. Many of them will
bend to the earth much more readily if
the dlrt be loosened or perhaps a little
taken from the side toward which it is
intended to bend them. The depth of
the cover is probably of small conae-
quence in this dry climate as almost any
quantity tbat will protect from the air
and sun will do the work. There should
be enough earth placed on the recum-
bent plants to prevent its blowing away
and to aid in this a sprinkling of water
can be given once in a while.--Field and
Farm.
Windmills nowadays are so perfect that
it ia really an easy matter to pump water
from a storage tank in a draw into reser-
voirs at a higher level, whence it may be
allowed to flow along through ditches to
the crops. A twelve-foot mill in a six-
teen-mile wind will deliver a continuous
stream of water of two and one-half inch
diameter. A very light wind will move
it, but of course more slowly. In certain
favored localities like the San Luis valley
where artesian flows can be struck near
the surface it is a better plan to employ
these than to depend on windmills. Iu
Saguaohe county just at present quite a
number of artesian wells are being sunk
for irrigation purposes and in some in-
stances the iiow is entirely sufficient to
irrigate a quarter section of land. In
that country the workmen will often dig
and complete an artesian well in three
or four hours.--Fisld and Farm.
There is much speculation at present
over the prices that will prevailnext year
end the general verdict seems to be that
sheep will bring better money than this
year. It is expected that the prices from
now on will be higher. It is hoped so at
least. Dealers who are on the selling side
of the fence predict a decided advance
in fed sheep after the first of the year
and from then up till June. They are
figuring on a greatly diminished output
of fat stock from both native sections
and from the west. All indications ao far
~em to favor the bullish side of the
eh~p market neat winter and spring.
The ranges of the west witlnot be de-
plets~ by this fall's marketings, but the
owners on account of the low prices of
stock sheep in the markets seem to be
anxious to hold every herd that they
can run safely during the winter. This
will be a bearish factor on the market
nextsummer and fall but in the interim
the high price of corn and the reluctance
with which the feeders are taking on
sh~p for the early spring market would
indicate that buyers will have to open
their pooketbooks pretty wide before the
winter/a over,--Field and Farm.
Preparations for the coming conven-
tion of the National Live Stock Associa-
tion and the International Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago next month are
about completed and it is certain that all
records in live stock events are to be
I badly shattered by the dual event. It
was feared that the big stock show might
overshadow the national convention, but
that fear has been completely dispelled
by the great interest shown in the work
of the convention.
The land question will come up, and
it is likely that some decisive actihn will
be taken regarding the public lands.
Just what that action will he cannot be
foreshadowed at this time, but the stock-
men feel that they are big enough to
ideal with it, and the attention of con-
~ gross will doubtless be called to the sub-
I jeer in some manner.
The question of irmgation as it relates
to the public land~ of the west will be
discusm~d by th,~ airiest men in this coun-
try, men who have made almost a life
[study of the question. The drouth of
the past season and its effects, the cattle
situation and the sheep outlook, will all
come in for consideration. Chief For-
eater l'hmi~oL of tim department of agri-
cultnre, will propose a new plan for set-
tling the question of gr~zing on the for-
est reserves. Chief Botanist Coville, of
the dep~rrment, will give pointers about
poisonous plants on the ranges.
With the exception of the first day,
the big conventiou will occupy but half
of the day and the other half will be de-
voted to the great live stock show at ths
stock yards. This will be the greatest
gati)eri~g of live stock for exhibition
ever before known in the world, and it.is
doubtful if such a show will be seen
again in years. "It is estimated that the
value of the live stock that will be en
exhibition will be close to $3,000,000.
Upon arrival in Chicago, delegates to
the National Convention are urged to go
to the headquarters in the Great North-
ern hotsl immediately and register their
names with the secretary, when they will
be provided with badges and coupon
beaks entitling them t., all the courtesies
being extended by the local committee~
on reception aud arrangements.
The special rates made by the railroad
companies are in some iu~tances for the
National Live Stock Convention and in
others for the International Live Stock
Exposition, so delegates should inquire
for both. The joint agency for the exe-
cution of return tickets in all points
!within "the jurisdiction of the Western
Passenger Association will be located at
room 619 Monadnock building, corner of
Jackson Boulevard and Dearborn streets
Chicago. The oflhce hours will be from
from 8 a. re.to 10 p. m. week days, and
from 9 a. m. tu 6 p. m. Sunday December
8th. All persons holding round trip
tickets must have them executed at this
office or they will not be accepted by the
conductor. Charles Martin, Secretary.

You'll have a cold this winter. Maybe
you have one now. Your children will
suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis,
I gripand other winter complaints, One
Minute Cough Cure never fails, Acts
promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste

and was so hoarse she could hardly
speak. We gave her a few doses of One
Minute Cough Cure. It relieved her im-
mediately amt she went to sleep. When
she awoke next morning she had no sign
of hoarseness or croup." Saguaeho
