much snort in chasing the willy coyote.
On the chase tho dogs arc carried in
cage on a wagon 80 Us to be fresh when

On Monday Senator Swink and H.
F. Hagen shipped car of comb honey
to st. Louis. The weight OF honey and
cases was about 10000 pounds. The
Rocky Ford country feeds st. Louis on
cantaloupes in the summer and on honey
in the winter and when a Rocky Ford
man visits that city he ought to be treat
ed very nicely.
N. A. Ferlen's stock is now about

appearance in the new room in the
Recker-H Hagen block.
Frank Crowley and I. D. Hale were
called to Holly yesterday to address a
meeting of farmers and give some point
ers on . the cantaloupe business. The
present and prospective settlers of that
vicinity are thinking Of going extensive
ly into cantaloupes next season but first
want to know more of Rocky Ford's ex-
perience. But they must not be too sure
that they can grow cantaloupes OF the
Rocky Ford standard OF flavor and gem
eral excellence.

did not approve OF the walters action
and at once discharged him. On two
