We had a law passed providing for a board of examiners and preventing any blacksmith from practicing farriery unless qualified. That law is a dead letter because the horsemen of the state will not assist us. They regard It us an attempt to form a horseshoe trust. As a result they continue ruin ing their horses with cheap black- smithing and imagine that they are saving money. The proposed course at Fort Collins is a step in the right direction. It will enable a few horse men at least to understand the neces sity of practical and scientific farriery. Such a movement should have the ac tive support of every horseman and •very humane man In the country.” Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture when In Denver a few weeks ago was informed regarding the new departure at Fort Collins and gave the plan his heartiest approval. “It is just what we have been need ing,” said he. “and If you can turn out some educated farriers the United States government will be glad to en gage them all at good salaries, for the lose of horses liccuuse of poor shoeing la becoming a most serious Item in the cavalry service and In other branches of the government that use horaea.” The new course will be under the direction of Professor Lawrence of the medical department at the college and Dr. George H. Glover, professor of veterinary science, and Dr. Charles G. Lamb, state veterinarian and a lec turer at the Agricultural college veter inary school, will'assist. Prominent Denver farriers will take an interest and will assist with lectures and dem onstrations.

When so distinguished an astrono mer as Professor Perclval Lowell an nounces as the result of his oljserva- tlon that “it is a direct sequitur of this that the planet Mars is at present the abode of intelligent constructive life,” the rest of the world will take his word for It and regard the question as settled.

The observations of the red planet during Us present proximity to the earth have been much more successful than was hoped.

Dear Sir; You manage men and machinery; no-one knows better than you that one man is worth more than another; that on machine is worth more than another machine. Some times you pay the man more, some times you don’t; aometimea the ma chine costs more, sometimes it doesn’t. The difference is, sometimes, two or three to one, and costs not a «eht. So with paint, and more too; the paint that does best service makes a less first cost of the job—you can paint Devoe at less expense than the meanest stuff you can get. It la like a good steady man or ma chine; but goodness and ateadiuesa have to be paid-for In men, tp mar chines not always, and never in paint. Paint la cheap in proportion to strength. It is pure paint that la steady and good; it Is paint adulterated that is tricky. There Is enough paint in tne worst of thCsa mixtures to look and feel like paint, and enough adulter ants (whiting, china-clay, barytes, ground stone, benzine, water) to make two gallons of one.
