THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN VOLUME XIL TIME TO BUILD There have been material reduc- tions in the price of lumber the o past few months so that a house con now be built for fifteen to twenty five per cent less money than a year ago. Now is a good i P time to bnild. It is doubtful if similir conditions will prevail l ugain very soon. There s liss demand for mill stuff at prescnt 3] than for a long time. The lig mills have been running a large force and the result is that miuy of them are overstocked and they *are being crowded for flt.m'ugef room. In orderto keep the stock moving they have reduced the price of bulding material. It is possible now to secure more and better work for the same price than at any time within the lust two years, is the prevailing opinion. The indications are that lumber prices will not go lower. By reason of the very promising crop conditions, the possibilities are that an advance may occur. Some sweet day when the crops begin to move those who have been cou sidering building will awaken to the fact that somebody lett the door of opportunity open and greater confidence got loose in the night. Then business and employ ment and prices will boom to gether. Patronize Chieftain advertisers Help those who help you.

Miss Mary Wright is. a typical ly up to date minister’s daugh ter inasmuch as she is well equip ped to handle all musical, social and rehgious affairs connected with the church duties which she performs with rare modesty and faithfulness. Holly people will miss Miss Wright during her ab sence at college this year. Sl has already endeared herself to the community. Holly’s Ancient Days. The church women of Holly have a grievance. It is not so long ago that when an ice cream social was advertised people from all over the country attended, ate the frozen milk, munched a sink er or two and imagined they had a feast. But now the village is whle to support one or two places where good ice cream is sold, sweet cake and a glass of {ce wa ter served, and a paper napkin thrown in for good measure. And for these vanities the old time so cial is relegated to the buttermilk days.—Bent County Democrat.

Earl Adamson of Hartman owns a large, fine mare who evi dently has a taste for investiga tion if one may judge by her peregrinations of a few days since. It seems she essayed to stand on the platform of an ar tesian well and as she is very lreavy and the platform to the well was not wvery strong, the luckless mare fell in, neighing pit eously as she made the danger ous descent. Fortunately, the well had been built over an old cistern, part of the platform of which had not been moved away. The mare’s forefeet struck that bit of platform and kept her from drowning. Meantime her cries brought crowds of men running from every direction, and trying to devise means to help the poor horsie out of the well. In less time than it takes to write it they had rigged a derrick, let it down into the well and pulled her al most to the top, but her weight proved too much for it and with another wild cry she sank back into the water. Then the men got another idea and executed it with desperate speed. They took out the sluice gate to the Chenowith ditch, let in a great volume of water and floated the mare to the top. Her faith in her deliverers seems to have been great for from the time the extra water began to pour into the well she never made a sound. Once safe on terra firma again she spied a spot of grass and made for it and be gan to graze as tranquilly as if nothing had happened. The men gave three cheers for her complacency. and disappearel as suddenly. as they had come.

THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN Honorary Degrees. ar pled b it 2 (VA AL L With scarcely an exception, those who bave received honorary degrees from the colleges this summer deserve the distinction. The same was true last year and the year before; it is true every year. Nor does the supply of men worthy of scholastic distinc tion grow less. Every year many men who have been seriously devoting themselves to their work are found to have risen so far above the general level of their fellows that a recognition of their achievement ig appropriate. They may not have attained great eminence, but they have distinguished themselves, and have attracted atten tion as men who have risen and are rising. Recognition of their superiori ty is gracious and encouraging. The colleges perform a public service in decorating them with a doctorate of laws, or philosophy, or science, or let ters, or divinity. It may be urged that the desire to be tagged as an honorary “doctor” is unworthy. It may be ad mitted that it is not so high a motive as the desire to serve without regard to praise or blame. Yet men are so constructed that the most of them need encouragement and the inspira tion of appreciation to do their best work. Therefore, the prospect of win. ning such distinction as will attract the attention of the degree-conferring authorities must be included among the incentives to endeavor. It takes a heroic soul to do a great work in secret, careless of praise or blame, and few of us, remarks the Youth's Com panion, have heroic souls. For those who do not achieve the distinction of honorary degrees there remains the reward of the appreciation of their friends. The duty of the friends to make that appreciation known is no less than the duty of the colleges to honor great achievement. The capital I. The London Chronicle says the Eng lish use of the capital I is one of the oddest features of our language to a foreigner. A Frenchman writing with reference to himself makes his equiva lent “je” with a small “j.” The Ger man, who may begin all his nouns with a capital letter, always uses the small “i” in writing “ich.” The Spaniard avoids as far as possible the use of the personal pronoun when writing in the first person, but he disdains a capital when he must write “yo.” In the equiv alent of our you, however, he uses the capital letter. Yet in English it is big “I"” and little “you.” One wishes, says the Boston Herald, while the Chronicle. man was about it he had whacked the careless Harvard graduate for so often using “I" for me! Harvard graduates and many other ‘“educated” persons forget their grammar sadly at times. It would break their hearts to be, told what bad English they used when say ing “he don’t” for “he doesn't,” and “between you and 1" yet even in the sacred shades of Cambridge have these terrible errors been heard! Though why lug in Cambridge? There are others, Brazil began to celebrate, on July 14, the one hundredth anniversary of King John's proclamation opening the ports of the country to the world. King John VI. of Portugal fled from Europe to his South American prov ince to escape Napoleon. Rio de Ja neiro became and remained for a time the Portuguese capital. Although Brazil is no longer a Portuguese pos session, the anniversary of the procla mation was selected as the date for the opening of a great national exhibi tion of the products of the country. The only foreign nation invited to par ticipate {s Portugal. Don Carlos had arranged to be present, but his assas sination has so affected affairs that the mother country will be represented by special officers sent by King Manuel. Each of the 20 states of Brazil has a characteristic exhibit in the grounds of the fair, and a suitable place has been assigned to the Portuguese exhibit. The pope is credited with the re mark that if the Roman Catholic church could be as highly respected in other countries as In the United States he would be in favor of the separation of church and state everywhere. The church is re spected here because communities ot the United States all began with a ‘policy of religious freedom, and have never tolerated a state church. In the other countries, where the supremacy of one church was established by law, it is not easy to hold respect when the preference is withdrawn.

Denver—Out at Overland Park there is a small army of men engaged rush- ing the work of completing buildings and grounds for the first annual Colo rado interstate fair and exposition, under the gupervision of H. Petrie, general superintendent. Some of the buildings are already finished, even to the painting, and Superintendent Petrie is seeing to it that the various contractors are going ahead on the other structures as rapidly as possible. At present the main exposition grounds—that is, the grounds around the principal buildings—are a waste, but it will require only a week to put them in splendid condition. In the main section of the grounds a great t improvement has been made by tear ing out underbrush, removing dead trees and the dead limbs on the trees. The grass is irrigated regularly, and now the park is really a park. Few people realize the magnitude of the work going on at Overland Park, nor of the extent of the interstate fair and exposition.

Newell of the United States reclamation service, held a conference with State Engineer Jaycox in Denver for the purpose of discussing the matter of tunneling through Tennessee pass and bringing the headwaters of the Eagle ‘iver through the range, so that they might be diverted into the Arkansas river and distributad in and around Pueblo. Mr. Newell is investigating the possibilities of such a big engineering feat, wrich would involve hundreds of thousands of dollars and an immense amount of la bor. The matters discussed by the two engineers were in regari to the amount of water which could be obtained in case the great project should be car ried out by the government. Northern Colorado Business Activity. Greeley.—Judge Garrigues says that he has given up his annual vacation plans because of the constant press of legal business in chambers caused by the remarkable building era now being experienced in his district. The building of reservoirs, ditches and rajlroads have brought so much to be done in the way of condemnation suits, privileges of right of way and injunction suits that the judge finds it difficult to dispose of such cases as soon as wished for. He believes, however, that the unusual amount of business points to the most prosperous times to be experienced in the history of northern Colorado. Longmont’s Pie Festival. Tne celebration of the ninth annual Pumpkin Pie Day at Longmont, Thurs day, August 13th, promises to be the greatest of any yvet held.

And evy erybody is invited to a free feast. Spe cial railroad rates have been granted on the C. 8. for the occasion and special trains will be run from Denver and Greeley. —_—_— The new home of the Knights of Co lumbus, in Denver, which has been the subject of a campaign by that society for years, is to be erected at once. Bids for construction are now being made, calling for a five-story structure to cost $80,000, at the corner of Four teenth and Glenarm streets,

Two little boys looked very much ashamed when they were called up to listen to a serious talk on the sin of fighting. When she had fin ished, says the Chicago News, thev were willing to follow her advice— to express their sorrow and be friends. “You first, Tommy,” she said. And the little fellow turned man fally to his comrade and said in a humble tone: “I am gorry you struck me, Wil lie.” “That’s all' right,” responded Willie generously, and both boys felt a weizht off their minds, though they could not understand why such a wave of merriment passed over the schoolroom.

FARM and GARDEN e e e DEVICE FOR BERRY GROWERS. o Gutting Off the Runners Made Easy for the Worker, S The problem of disposing of the sur- &lus runners is always a perpleéxing one to the straw berry grower. Too commonly the runners are al- lowed to run and form a dense mat at their own sweet will. Plac ing runners is no easy job, as| everyone must admit who has| tried that Dback- breaking labor. Yet it is demon- strated every year in every planta- tion that it is the only method of raising uniformly large and brlghb‘ 1y colored berries. 1 Wherever a spot is found where from some canse{ the plants are thin on the ground, it is there the best l berries are always found. Many plans of placing or spacing runners have been tried, and nearly every grower has his own distinctive way, which he% varies from time to time when he thinks he has discovered sumethlug;’ better. It really does not matter soi much what arrangement of the run “ners is made, provided they are given plenty of room. Next to spacing them is the labor of cutting off the surplus ones that are not needed. An early-| set, vigorous plant will send out a mul- i a ‘itude of runners during the gmwlng; season and Kkeep it up till freezing weather has stopped growth. Pinch- ing or cutting them off with a knil’e: or scissors is slow work and requires constant stooping, which is relished neither by old nor young. This wm"kl may be lightened as follows: Take a worn-out hoe, says Orangel‘ Judd Farmer, and have the blacksmith straighten the blade on a line wlthl the shank. You can have it any width the hoe will admit. For cutting around l single plants a narrow Dblade is best; for narrowing in the side of a row the wider the blade the better. For nar rowing the row an ordinary plow counter may be used. It may be fas tened to the cultivator or it may be[ ‘f\tlnched to handles, whetted shurpf and trundled along by hand. After the raspberries and black-i Werries are through Dbearing is the best time to cut out the old canes. An other simple instrument is also made out of an old hoe for this work, only %in this case the hoe blade is turned in a sickle shape, so as to catch firmly around the cane. This allows the man to do all the cutting while standing erect. His left hand should be pm.? vided with a strong glove to hold the cancs and pull them out. The illustra- tion shows how the cutter looks when completed. BRACING A CORNER POST. Here Is Another Good Way of Stiff ening a Fence. To brace a corner post in the way shown in the accompanying illustra tion bend a hook in the end of a piece How the Bracing Is Done. of %-inch iron and cut a thread nn’ the other end, says the Prairie Farm- er.

Stock baris should be light, dry and well ventilated. Dairying is the one branch in which no man should engage who has not a| real liking for _cows. When the potato vines are half grown they have filled the groun(ll with lateral roots. Cultivate over the roots and not throungh them.

THE SIN OF LAND-MURDER. Seriousness of the Situation Not Gen. erally Realized. The deterioriation of fertility undex cultivation that is lacking in care for the future is far more noticeable in some portions of the south than in the 'middle west. The Progressive Farm. ier. recognizing the seriousness of the lisituatiun. speaks as follows: “The truth is, that it is time now to ‘see that a man who wears out a piece !of land sins—just as a man sins who wears out a human body with drunk enness or dissipation. We are coming to the time when a man will be as much ashamed of owning a gullied hillside as of owning a skin-and-bones horse. As James J. Hill, than whom !there is hardly a greater American ;livlng, declared in Washington: *‘North Carolina was, a century !ago. one of the great agricultural states of the country and one of the wealthiest. To-day as you ride through flhe south you see everywhere land ;gullied by torrential rains, red and vellow clay banks exposed where once were fertile fields, and agriculture re duced because its main support has been washed away. Millions of acres, |in places to the extent of one-tenth of the entire arable area, have been so0 jinjured that no industry and no care can restore them.’ “And the seriousness of this land {murder is not appreciated by one man /in a thousand. You see an acre of {land ruined and you say: Well, there is $10, $20, or $50 loss, according to lme price of land in your community. But the truth is, that the merely tem: )porary estimate put opon land values, as indicated by present prices, does not indicate at all the far-reaching Iextent of the damage. Three hun dred years ago you could have bhought that land from the Indians at ten .cents an acre, but if an acre of it had been ruined then, would the damage, |as we see it now, have amounted to lonly ten cents? A hundred years ago I‘the same land may have been worth lonly a dollar an acre; but we know now that to have ruined an acre would have meant more than a dol |lar’s loss. And so the price of land to-day is no criterion by which to ;judgo the damage and the sin against posterity wrought by the man who murders an acre of (gd’'s heritage 1o ithe human race—a heritage he meant to last as long as time itself. The na ‘tion does well to give ‘the matter seri |ous thought.” 3 l STRAINING JELLY,. Handy Device Made Out of a Turned- Up Chair. I A pupil from the high school class of cookery, South Kensington, Lon idon, Eng., told me about this substi tute for a jelly bag, and 1 have found A Substitute for Jelly Bag. that it works to perfection, being much less troublesome than the old fashioned jelly bag, says a writer in Farm and Home. Clean a plain wooden kitchen chair thoroughly, and then turn it, legs up ward, on a kitchen table. Tie a clean, single or double piece of white cheesecloth securely by the corners to the chair legs; being careful not to allow too much fullness to prevent too 'much sagging. Place a bowl under- Enflath the bag on the under side of the chair seat, and then pour some boiling water from the kettle into the bag. When it has run away, and the cloth is still hot, quickly remove full 'bowl and put another in its place, and pour the hot fruit to be strained into the jelly bag. Again change bowls and pour the first juice back into the jelly bag. Then throw a clean, white mosquito netting over the chair, and leave the jelly juice to strain all night. 'Of course, chair, table, floor and every utensil used, as well as the cheese cloth and mosquito netting, must be scrupulcusly clean. Thirty Years of Dairying, In 30 years the dairying of the world has been revolutionized. The various inventions to save time and protect the milk from contamination and keep the butter made have so facilitated the production of milk and milk-prod uets that it is safe to say the aggre gate production has been enormously increased. In 30 years the business has become one founded on the wmost ;scivnlific of principles. COMMISSION ON FARM LIFE E PRESIDENT APPOINTS FIVE MEN TO INVESTIGATE COUNT v CONDITICNS. Eote e 'SEEKS BETTERMINT| i) P e WOULD GAIN INFORMATIC ON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC QUESTIONS. i e 1 Oyster Bay, L. IL-—Assertin 1 be- lief that the increase of the cing of the American farmer has rept pace with that of the counii. s al whole, President Roosevell 15 n».i quested five experts to so1 as a commission on country life ani con duct an investigation aimed at bring ing about substantial bettcrment of the social, sanitary’ and cconomice coaditions on American farms. He has asked that this commission seek a solution of the problem as to how farm life can be made less soli- tary, more replete with o ‘jvul‘lllli\_\'.!v freer from drudgery, more comfortable and more attractive. The men invited to serve as mem- bers of the investigating commission are Prof. L. H. Bailey of the New York State College of Agricultur: Hmuy’ Waullace of Wallace Farm, Des Moines, Towa; Kenyon L. lLutterfield, president of the Massachusctis Agri- cultural college; Gifford Pinchot, of the United States Forestry service; and Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work. That the appointment of commis sion to investigate county life by President Roosevelt marks an epoch in the history of the countr and also inaugurates one of the IPresident’s greatest policies, is the opivion of Gif- ford Pinchot, chief of the forest ser- vice. “The President's appointment nf| this commission,” he said, “marks the inauguration of the third of his great policies, the central idea of which is 10 see to it that we have not only bet ter crops, but also better happier, more contented and more efficient men and women on the farm. 1 “My understanding of the idea in the President’s mind in appointing the commission is that while j1ogress in the country has been rapid, it has not been sufficiently rapid 1o keep the farmers’ boys and girls from going to the cities. “Farm life ought to Le made so profitable and attractite that the farm ers’ boys and girls will be ambitious to spend their lives on the farm.” Trans-Mississippi Congress. i Kansas City.—Many subjects of general importance are included in the call for the nineteenth annual session of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress, which is to meet in Suni‘ Francisco October 6th, 7th, Sth, Sth and 10th, and which has just been is- sued under the signatures of J. B.! Case, president, of Abilene, Kansas; Thomas F. Walsh of Denver, ('h:Lir~| man of the executive committee, apd other officers. 1 The call says: “The executive commiitee submits the following subjects as germane to] the objects of the congress, and upon these a free and full discussion is in vited. They follow: “Irrigation and drainage; river and harbor improvement; leasing of public lands; dry farming; Alaska; state hood; parcels post and postal banks; trans-Pacific trade; closer trade rela tions with Latin republics; public ownership of utilities; Panama and the canal; Hawaif and the Philippines im migration; live stock industry; na tional and state aid for highways; su gar beet industry; Alaska-Yukon-Pa cific exposition; national finances; an enlarged and improved consular service in the far East; tle Pan-Amer fcan railroad; interstatc commerce. Colorado Editors. Canon City, Colo.—About fifty d--hn! zates of the Colorado Stite Editm'iuli Association gathered at the openinz, meeting in Elks’' hall Monday after- noon. Matters pertaining 1o legislation were discussed. In the evening the del egates with their friends went on a moonlight excursion throuzh the Royal gorge. The train stopped at the hanging bridge one hour. David Elliot of Colorado Springs will talk on the “Midsummer Meeting.” G. MecCor mick of Fort Collins will address the editors on “Advertising Rates.” “How to Hold Circulation” will be the sub- ject of an address by J. il. English of Trinidad. l Care for Leper Wife. Tombstone, Ariz—The pathetic case of Gen. D. K. Wardwell, a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, and his wife, who is a leper, is in a fair way of being disposed of by the territorial officials, and it is possible that the devotion of the husband will prevail and he will be permitted to remain by his afflicted wife. It is proposed to isolate the couple near thiz place, and keep them under the care and treat- ment of the county officials. The fact that the form of leprosy from which the woman is suffering is not com- municated by ordinary contact, makes the solution of the problem possible, EGG PLANT IN TWO WAYS. Stuffed or Escalloped, It Will Be Found Excellent. Stuffed Fgg Plant—Cut the egg plant in two, lengthwise, and scrape {out the pulp with a spoon, leaving the shell nearly half an inch thick so that it holds its shape. Cover the shcllsi with boiling water, adding salt, and place the pan, covered, on the range, keeping it at almost the boiling point while preparing the filling. Allow Ihe! hell to become tender, but not soft. ‘Chup the pulp rather fme, add to il§ lone level teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, and simmer in a iablespoon ful of butter till soft, stirring to pre- vent burning. Add half a teaspoonful |of grated onion, a scant half teacupful of minced cooked veal or chicken, half a teacupful of bread crumbs; mix well and fill the shells. Place them in a well buttered pan, sprinkle wllh} grated bread crumbs, add a light| sprinkling of salt and pepper and bits |of butter. Bake for 45 minutes, hav ing the tops nicely browned. l IZscalloped Egg Plant.—Cut the egg plant lengthwise into quarter Inch! slices and cover with boiling salted water. When cool enough to handle, iux'mnge half the slices on a well but tered baking dish; then add a layer of bread erumbs to which has been added a little finely minced parsley and salt.l ~aud pepper to taste. Place the re[ !m:lining slices upon these, sandwich fa hion, pour melted butter over lhem,! followed by a sprinkling of bread| crumbs, lightly salted and peppered, and finish with a sprinkling of gmted! cheese. Bake in oven to a fine brown. HOW TO MAKE COLD MEAT LOAF. 8 e TTRT Gy oty A gF o e, BiyAo A el B A e o Spe e Far Better Than Any Warm Hashi During the Summer. 1 “Avoid warm hashes in Sumnwr,i and have in their place a meat loafi that can be served cold,” writes Chris- tine Terhune Herrick in \Woman's Home Companion. “Chop your rcm-f nants of steak or roast fine, mix with them one-third as much cold boiled ham er tongue, season well, and add a couple of raw eggs beaten light. If rather dry, moisten with gravy or| stock, turn into a greased mold with plain sides, cover, set nn a baking pan ‘\vlth hot water about it, and bake for an hour. This loaf may also be m:ulel with raw beef, but then it must (-nnkf for two hours. Let it get very (-uld! before turning out, and slice. \'ouli loat may be prepared by this recipe, and ‘even cold roast lamb may be treated in the same manner. The main point to be borne in mind is the seasoning. Be careful that this is well I done and you will have a popular’ dish.” A——— 1 Cleaning Paints. Oil-painted walls must be washed with soap and water, using a soft flan- nel cloth, and taking care to wring it well before using. Use cold water to finish, and dry well with linen dus-; ter. i Varnished woods should be rubbed with a chamois leather wrung (mt{ of cold water, then polished with coft duster. To polish a varnished floor rub wolli with equal quantities of beeswax and turpentine. Another method is to take equal parts of olive oil and spirits of turnpentine, wet a soft cloth withl these, rub the wood hard, then rub with a dry cloth, This is also good’ for black walnut furniture and sewing machines. Where paint is stained with sinoke some ashes or potash lime may be used. A soft linen cloth should bel used for wiping dry. Canned Pineapple. Pare ripe, juicy pineapples, cut into slices an inch thick. To one pound of fruit allow one-fourth pound of sugar. Put them into preserving kettle to gether, and add a very little water if the juice is not enough. As soon nsi they are well scalded put into hot jars and seal at once, Hot Chicken Salad. One tablespoonful of bhutter, melt, 2dd one tablespoonful of flour mixed with a pinch of salt, a little pepper, cayenne, and if liked celery salt, or for a change a few drops of onion juice. Use about a cup of milk to make a| cream. Stir in a beaten egg, thenl carefully a cup of chopped chicken meat. Don’t stir much after :uldin;:} the meat. Veal is good instead "fi chicken, and lamb can be used, but! cut it into little dice instead of chop ping it. Serve on toast with fried potatoes. A Delicious Icing. Put a cup of granulated sugar with' a half cup of water, let it boil without stirring until it sping a heavy thread. Beat very stiff the white of one egg and into it pour slowly the hot sugar. Let the sirup cool a little before put-i ting it in the egg or it will cook it. Beat steadily until the icing is smooth and creamy. Just before it is too cold to stir longer, add one ounce each of can-l died cherries, chopped citron, candied pineapple and blanched almonds. €AD QHEETS HINTS FOR THE CARE OF LAWNS GRASS SHOULD BE CUT FRE. QUENTLY AND REMOVED FROM THE GROUNDS. NEAT APPEARANCE REQUIRES CAREFUL TRIMMING CF BORDERS. By Leslie F. Paul, Colorado Agricui tural College. The surroundings of the home gon erally indicate the artistie ability, or lack of it, of the dweller. The picture of the home is spread upon the canvas of the lawn, and we unconsciously size up the dweller by his success in presenting this picture to us, In this endeavor the care of the Jawn plays an important part. Leaving, at present, the guestion of planting the lawn for consideration at another time, the following hints re garding care of lawng may be helpluds Lawns in Colorado are best watered with the hose if water supply of that character is available, One of the many styles of sprinklers attached to the end of the hose is desirable as time saver. If there is no hydrant, the lawn should be flooded every ten days or two weeks, if rain does not occny meanwhile, The water in this case should not be allowed to stay on {or a great while, especially if there is much shade, or the grass roots will be destroyed wholly or in part and yellow spots will appear here and there in the sward. Of whatever character is is, thorough watering best follows im mediately after mowing. Ordinarily the lawn should be gone over every week or ten days with the lawn mower, the shorter period heines better where the water supply is con stant. The appearance of the sward is greatly improved by observing the following points: First, the use of the “grass-catcher” gitachment to the machine for the removal of the cut grass; second, mowing in siraight lines, and, so far as jpossible, in the same direction; third, lapping the chine only one-half the width of the swath: fourth, trimming out with sicic le ond sheep shears all grass which cannot be reached with the mower, The following comments may be made upon the preceding statements. In the use ~of the apron or “catch® Vit should by remembered that the removal of the grass at every mowing means the re moval of fertility which shonld be re stored by late fall manuring, but the velvety appearance which we so mucih admire is secured better than by let ting the grass lie where it falls, Frons a new lawn, however, i. e, one plantod in the current season, the grass should not be removed, but allowed to lie where it falls for its value as o muleh. The direction of the mowing shouid be alternated in successive mowines, preferably at right angles 1o the pre vious mowing. Trees, buildings, ctc., are left by the machine with an un sightly fringe of tall grass, which little extra time with sickle and scis sors will vastly improve, The sward about a bed or border should end in an abrupt edge and this edge should be trimmed with shears. Pushing the soil back toward the middle of the hLed gives the edge its desirable abrupt ness, Walks should be similiarly edged. While mowing, high and low places and holes should be noted for subse quent correction. The man with the mower learns one reason why ter races and abrupt banks are undesiy able. When these are run over by the mower the knives bite co decply that these high points become “'sore spots,” due to the killing out of the too closely shorn grass. Holes may be filled with prepared soil (garden loam and sand in equal parts) and the grass will shortly come up through ir Probably the correction of high and low areas may better be deferred un til spring. Such corrections involve the lifting of thie sod and the addition or removal of soil. Occasionally high places may be corrected by the nuse of a heavy roller. Attention to such minute details as above deseribed insure that well groomed appearance in lawns which everyone admires, Premium For Girls, The Colorado State Fair, Pueblo, Colorado, offers one hundred dollars to the Colorado girl, between the ages of feurteen and twenty-one, who docs the most efficient work in preparing certain food products and giving the best reason for using her methods. Gasoline stoves will be used, which will be furnished by the management, as will sweet milk, royal baklhig pow der, and all utensils and eaquipment necessary to produce the best results. Address, immediately, secretary of thy State Fair, Pueblo, Calo., for infornia tion in regard to entering this contest, Fresh manure has a forcing effect and tends to produce stems and leaves at the expense of fruit and grain. It is therefore better for early garden trucl:, grasses and forage plansts than fox cereals or fruit.
