cultivation of the Bolnnum

through the wonderinl potato
region of Colorado on a recent occa
sion he must have been satisfactorily
convinced that "Ihiagi do move."
In the beginning of the sixteenth
century potatoes were brought from
America to Europe for cultivation in
gardens a a curiosity. This year, be
fore the shipping season closed, about
April 15, there wire forwarded, from
one section of Colorado alone, C0D0
carloads of "spuds" each cor averag
ing 400 bushels.
Only a few years ago, when some
enterprising fnrmers commenced the
cultivation of potatoes, on what then
appeared to be a large scale, they
were heartily ridiculed. Time has
proven, and only a very short time at
that, the correctness and sound judg-
merit of the level-beaded grangers who
Hilly realized the special adaptability
of the warm, snndr soil of certain por
tions of Colorado, to the successful
production ot the homely, nnfashion

exceptionally large profits in this in
dustry in the main it has been a
steady, profitable business for such
men as are willing to give it attention.
Probably there is no section ot the
agricultural world where the cultiva
tion of potatoes is so simplified and
.systematized as in the Greeley district
of Colorado. Seeing the enormous
possibilities of this industry, an en
terprising manufacturer of farming
implements turned his attention a
couple ot years ago to machinery for
preparing and handling this crop in
all its stages. The result has been in
the production of potatoes similar to
the introduction of headers ood thrash
ing machines in the raising ot small
grains a marked decrease in the coBt
of production.
Only by the nse of this machinery
are the potato farmers of the far Wett
to-day enabled to sell their product in
competition with that of Illinois and
Missouri in the markets of Chicago and
St. Louis. They literally make a
business of raising potatoes, and
knowing that a too rapid continuation
of crops is disadvantageont rotate their
crop of potatoes from one section of
the farm to another, alternating with
wheat and the prolifio and fertilizing
alfalfa, thus insuring a constant re
current replenishment of the light,
sandy soil, which hat proven to well
adapted to potato growing.

harvester, drawn by four powerful
horses, traverses row after row and
leaves in its wake glistening lines of
white nnd pink tubers as clean and
neatly separated from their parent
soil as if each had been carefully "sa
policed" before being released from
its earthly repository. Each "dig
ger" is attended by a driver and from
sis to eight "pickers" whose business
it is to collect the potatoes, large and
small, in baskets. These hoods' are
paid from SI to 81. CO per day and
board.
In each section of the field is an
other contrivance called a "sorter,"
consisting ot an oscillating screen
hung at an angle of thirty degrees,
irto which the baskets are emptied.
This screen has what is termed a two-
inch square mesh. These potatoes
which will go through thit meth fall
into a sack and are kept for seed the
following spring. Tne larger Pota
toes roll from tho screen into separate
sacks, in which tbey are stored in
peculiarly constructed cellars or "dug

for marketing.
Ihese "dug-outs" are excavations in
the ground varying in size aocording
to tne requirements ot tne crop nnd
approximately ten feet in depth. They
are roofed over almost level with the

industry grown that at Eaton and

About Skirts.
IF the day ever coraos when critics
will abandon the silly twaddle
about fashion in which they have
so long indulged, remonstrates a
writer in the New York Ledger, the
world will be muob the gainer by the
change. For a good many years
fashion, its frivolity, its senselessness,
its absurdity and its URolcssness, has
been the subject of screeds without
number, each critio apparently trying
to hold it np to keener ridicule than
his predecessor. As a matter of fact,
on fashion and its changes rest the
foundations oi commercial prosperity.
If the old were as pleasing as the
new, many of the factories would go
out of business, the importers would

women would not take the troubl8
and worry that tbey now do to pro
vide fresh costumes for all seasons;
but thia thing which we call fashion
demands novelty and variety, and to
meet .its requirements manufactures
and trade are ever kept active.
Within reasonable limits, therefore,
fashion, as we now use the term,
means business prosperity and gainful
ooonpations to tne many. It would
be a good idea to elevate the literature
of tasbion to its propel plane and do
away witn much of tue silliness and
frippery that characterize it.
The. styles for spring are already
ihowif, and it is safe to say that the
models presented will furnish types
lor warm weather wear. The changes
in dresses are not very marked : the
plain Bkirt with the usual shape is an
accepted standard.- Skirts are as long
as is comfortable or convenient, but
as has been said before, they are quite
as Woll liked, because evon though
they are .somewhat shorter, they are
bound to- out off at the edges uuless
they are slightly raised.
It is a curious fact that many of the
very best dressed women insist on
tbem long skirts.bntalwaye raise them
a little when on the street. This has
hygieuio points and daintiness to com
mend it. Draggled skirts do not be

either aide of the belt. This velvet is
dotted with rosettes of satiu ribbon.
A velvet belt with satin rosettes,
revert of velvet, with rosettes at the
ahonldert and velvet and aatin ro
settes at the elbows where the sleeves
droop over, form the finish. The vest
is of shirred silk, matching the dress
in color.
Among the new ideas in the making
of skirts are trimmings of narrow side
plaiting, such aa were in great demand
ten or twelve years ago. ;The fabrio is
hemmed and closely pressed, and a
single row of plaitiug, with a heading
of narrow gimp or ribbon plaiting,
will be a popular fashion tor drosses
for all occasions.
An attractive skirt has a very nar

flat gallon stitohed down very closely.
Above this is a little rulllu made of
strips of silk about two inches wide.
This is gathered or box-plaited in the

halt the size of a coffee saucer. At
each point there it a rosette of passe
menterie, with a tassel made of fringes
of silk and beads. This i dressy, and
makes a simple and inexpensive finish
for afternoon dresses.
While there is a good deal of talk
about skirts that measure eight or
nine yards around, it is scarcely
necessary to say that it is only ocoa
aionally that oue sues them. They
are monstrosities, designed only to use
up material and furnish work at some

Tidiness It satirized by a hundred
writers, and despised, at we have said,
by millions; but nobody ever argues
against it seriously, unless we take
the allegation that strong men are
never tidy to be a serious argument.
It would be one, perhaps. If It were
true, but It la not Great soldiers nnd
sallorn are almost invariably tidy.
Frederick of Prussia being a rather
conspicuous exception; many great
lawyers have been neat to Dnlcalneas,
and tho same may be snld of many
great men of business. We should say,
Indeed, that as many weuk men were
untidy as strong men, aud flint of the
latter a large proportion will be found
to be of the dreamy jt the reflective

"There had been astounding fluctu
ations In the oil market ever since tho
business began In 1S3U. In that year
petroleum brought $-'0 a barrel. There
was no market for It yet, though, and
not much was sold. The next year, tn
spite of the fact that there was very
little demand for a product at yet nl
most nuknown to the outside world,
the wells then producing put on the
market SOO.ixjo barrels ot oil Yet the
average price for the product that year
was $10 a barrel, although It fell to
tVI.SO In January, ISM, and tumbled to
CO cents a barrel by April.
"In 18G1 oil tumbled to 10 cents a
barrel, and nn empty barrel wna worth
15 times as much as the oil It could
bold. In lest than a year 1,500,000
barrels of oil came from the ground
along Oil Creek, and more than half
of It ran to waste. Oil was to low In .
1802 that very few oiierntora shipped
any. There was a good deal of money
mnde In 1803, as the price was about
f-t at the wells, and about 3,000,000
barrels were produced, but ISOt woe

price bad gone to $3 a barrel In Feb

$7. Some heavy wells wero atruclc
about that time, but by June 1 oil wna

month It bad jumped to $11.50 a bar

were making fortunes every dny than
I believe ever before In the commercial
history of the world.
"The most notable year of all for
