Pioneers Enjoy Themselves.

Yesterday evening jolly party OF gen.
tlemen went from this city to Fruita to
have "good tlme," and incidentally to
attend the meeting of the Truita lodge
Of the Pioneers OF the Pacific.
The gentlemen were members OF the
local organization OF Pioneers and were
all bent on enjoying the evening which
they certainly did. The party consisted
of Messrs. Slocomb, Covey, Starr, Myers,
Grubbs and O'Neill.
It's the Fruita people who know how
to entertain and anyone who has ever
been guest at any social event in the
little city in the lower valley, knows Just
the kind Of treat which these gentle
men enjoyed last night
There were speaking and singing and
q general good time for an hour or 30
which was followed bya banquet Of su ffi :
cent proportions and variety to do credit
to any event. More speeches followed
and after considerable time spent in
a social way the visitors departed voting
the Fruita people delightful entertainers.

An Important Post.cript.

A French writer, engaged upon a pro-
found scientific work, rang for his
talet. He then sat down and wrote
this note: "Kindly send some one TO
arrest the cook. She has stolen my
purse" This he directed to the chief
Of police. The valet appeared, and,
while waiting for his master to finish
writing, picked up something lying IN
der the table. AS he took the note he
said: Monsieur, here is your purse; !
found it under the table,
"Ah, just in time; give me the note,
JEAN"
He hurriedly added the postscript:
II have found my purse; it is I'M
necessary TO send anyone" and handed
the missiye to the valet, saying: "De-
liver this at once; it is important"
He then went back to his writing

ANOTHER SOURCE OF WEALTH.
that Have Usually Been Al
lowed to Go to Waste.

A series of experiments which have
been carried ON for some time past by
the agricultural department, have re-
Gently developed a new use for corn
stalks, from which a very valuable
horse and cattle food can now be
made. The department has done a
great deal of work with corn stalks in
the past year, and has developed sew
eral valuable uses for them, namely,
cofferdam packing for warships, a high
grade of writing paper, the basis for a
smokeIess powder superior to the
picric acid powders and several other
use.
The new cattle food is made by
grinding the dry corn stalks, leaves
and tops, to powder, and mixing it
with blood or molasses, or both. This
is pressed into cakes under hydraulic
press, and can be shipped as easily as
bricks or cordwood. For feeding, it
is broken up and mixed with water.
Actual tests have been made at expert
mcnt stations, and samples have been
sent to agricultural stations in Eu-
rope. The reports from all sources are
very encouraging. 1t is said at the de-
partment that this food will be partic-
ularly valuable for our cavalry in the
tropics, and that the food cakes can
he made at minimum cost in Cuba and
the southern states, where thousands
of tons OF low grade molasses go to
waste annually, and where the cane
refuse, ground fine, forms almost as
satisfactory an absorbent base as corn
stalks. The cost of making the food
cakes under favorable conditions would
be from S22 to $25.

Don't attempt TO raise too many

II will not pay.
Don't talk about your neighbor and
his faults. Don't fail to send your

belong.
Don't do business with these SHADY
fellows. Stock from such herds is like
ly to be nearly unstable.
Don't sell out because hogs are low,
and by SO doing be in shape to buy
again when they are high.
Don't expect killer" from every
litter. If you succeed in getting one
great pig in year you are lucky.
Don't imagine you can build up your
herd by attempting to pull some other
herd down. Such attempts always in
jure your herd and sometimes only
benefits the other fellow.
Don't neglect the hogs while and
then suddenly remember they need
care and oyerfeed them. Be a hog man
every day of the year.
Don't be an imitator and use the
same wording and general style in
your advertising as that used by some
big fellow 1t usually serves only
to draw attention to the other man.
Don't claim to have the best lot Of

A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE,



{. We have often tried to impress upon
the minds of our farmers and breeders
tie Importance of this matter, VIZ
have known cases where breeders who
expected to raise 81 900 worth of hogs
tie coming year would not attempt
the purchase of a male pig until the
last moment, sometimes even wait
ing till after the holidays. and then
find they could secure only an indiffer-
ent pig (the choice ones having been
sold), which, when put to the breeding
test, would prove utterly useless, and
after losing perhaps six weeks would
b. compelled to discard the animal
and try to secure another, which would
sometimes prove little better than the
first.
Our practice when breeding pure
bgeds was, in purchasing a young, un-
tried male, to try and secure him at
least six months before we expected to
use him heavily, and thus find by act
ual test not only whether or not he
was breeder, but also whether he was
satisfactory breeder; and in many
instances, as all breeders are nwarss it
proved to be wise precaution, a.
many young animals prove worthless
10 the breeder who Is striving to build
up and improve his herd.
For the man who is raising hogs for
