Rocky Ford enterprise., 1893-11-30

H. S. Holley and G.. d. Gerbing will
open n first class meat market in Pueblo
| this week, and the citizens OF "the Pitts
burg of the West" will bave chance of
getting superior Rocky Ford beefsteaks.
-Buckwheat is good crop for Rocky
Ford farmers to raise. 1t can be planted
from 18th to 18th of July and will yield
over % bushels per acre. As it will bring
75c per bushel, it will be seen that it
won't pay to grow wheat when the raw
material for griddle cakes can be grown
SO successfully.
S. McCarty, of Catlin, is selling his
wheat at $1.25 per cwt. AS the general
run of farmers are getting only about 80
cents, it may be OF interest to our read
ers to know where Mr.. McCarty finds his
market at this advanced price. He does
it by bringing his wheat TO the Rocky
Ford mill where he has it cracked. This
he feeds to his hogs, and mt present pric-
es of pork he gets $l.25 per owt. for it.
Go thou and do the same.
The Rocky Ford Hose company
ought to be reorganized and the boys
drilled SO as to be ready for the coming
fire. Rocky Ford has not been visited
by fire for a long time, but some day
there may be a destructive one and then
there will be very general regret that
the town was in poor shape to fight fire.
Now, before the destruction, is a better
time to give attention to the condition of
the apparatus and the drilling Of the
company than after five thousand dollars
have gone up in smoke. Better lock the
stable door before the horse is stolen.
The crack marksmen OF the county
wore at S. McCarty's, near Catlin,
Monday. In the spring OF 1892 Mr.. Nc
Carty had three turkey hens. That sum-
mer he raised so turkeys. He started in
the spring of 1893 with Is hens and this
year has raised 275 turkeys. He says
they are no more trouble to raise than
chickens, and he finds them quite profit
able. This big flock of turkeys was
the foundation for a THANKSGIVING shoot
ing match Monday. Mr.. McCarty will
doubtless realize more for his turkeys in
this way than if sold on the market, but
he would make good money to sell them
for shipment.
We met H. M. Fosdick, Jr., on the
train few days since and found him
taking very cheerful view of the busi-
ness situation. He says that the farm
ers in the Fowler country are getting in
pretty good shape-much better than
seemed possible two months since. Their
alfalfa seed is bringing good price and
SO is corn. The alfalfa hay, which prom
ised to be drag in the market, has most
ly found a sale to feeders at from $3.25
to S3.75 per ton in the stack. Hogs are
moving at good prices, and Mr.. Fosdick
thinks that, on general principles, the
farmers in his part OF the county have
the best of reasons for hearti y obs irving
Thanksgiving. And he is right.
