’Tis a “sucker” that swallows the bait be

Several families passed through town On

It is said that “men are convinced accord

When we make the assertion that the en*
tire Republican ticket will be elected in
Delta county this full, it is not wind that
prompts us to do so, but from private con
versation with the solid ranchmen bf the
county.
When tfteu who are for past the prime in
life catch on to the youngest, smartest and
prettiest girls in town, leaving their youuger
and more handsomer rivals in the luroli, it
does not speak very well for our young geu
cruUou of mules.
Our Democratic candidates are mow com
mencing to get out and do a little rustling/
and it is our humble opinion that they
will have to do a little more rustling tliah
usual nfter election is over and they hive
been thrown out of their present fat otfiee*.
More experience is to be found in
rose in one uiglit than, we venture to say, iu
any other town in the State. Ouray boasts

.Conklin’s total receipt* last week from off

to each other us to aduittfartlii same cafe and
culture we find lmtk fnifaa fk many slates of
preservation as eoinumdjtMa* of commerce,hut
what we want as an ngfigtfltural people is to
have them fresh, to lieahlfato go to the gftfli
and pluck the ripe, delicious berry from the
pit rent stem. A" t<> planting be careful tb
not set the plauta 100 deep as the roots grow,
near the surface. Plant in rows four feet
apart. Mulehiug lx*tween the rows yot» will
find an excellent thing. Our clitnute is fa
vorable to this fruit. As yfct tested the - oft ly
obstacle encountered is the winter killing of
the stalk, Imt iHlu-v are planted on elevuted
ground where the wind euu have free circu
lation they will la* lop liable to wiutar kill.
It is the repeated thawing and freezing thut
kills the stalk. The fenyder, in my judg
ment, should be the first selected, as they are
very liardy. As to tile varieties of the rasp
berry the innrt preferable are the Turner's,
Thorn less and t iitbhurt, for red. and Qregg
am) Mnniinotli Chester, lor black emp.
Under the bead of Genus Ribera we find
fhe gooseberry nnd currants. * Among the
Varieties usually cultivated are the Fay's
Prolific, Red Dutch and and White Grape.
The currant needs some protection from the
hot sun and wind nnd a rich soil with plenty
of timifttnre. Mulehiug is also a good thing.
The Houghton gooseberry Mauds at the head
for productiveness and hardiness.
I will finish up with a dessert of strawber
ries. They seem to do best wlieii planted in
a matted row,With rows three feet 'apart.
The runners should In; closely clipped if a
large herrv is desired. 1 bfiievtf tngt it is a
settled fnct that for every ruuuer clipped
from the vine a new fruit germ js formed for
the following season. Experienced fruit
growers content themselves with but few va
rieties, but select them earefttllv.' -For this
locality the Wilson is one of tM bast, but
the Crescent, Hharpless and American have
each proved sttecesslul. lam told that fruit
men about Denver think muofa of the Jucoti
lls, it Iwing of large fine form and good qual
ity. The plant will winter well here with
but little protection.
There are many other small fruits, but
time forbids mo saying anything more. But
I hope to'see the dev when ail classes of
fruits will be grown by every farmer of Delta
county, which will give health and wealth to
our people/ ■ , :/*■s.'
