The reason we can save you Sloo on
Chiokering & Sons Piano is because
we buy them the same as all other pianos
in car load lots. We are the only ex-
elusive music house in Otero county; have
Chickering g. Sons Pianos in stock and
more on the way. The Chickering 8.
Sons factory likes to sell pianos to the
people who sell pianos. Talk is cheap
but it takes money to buy pianos. Some
dealers have the talk but we have the

The unusual abundance Of snow in the
mountains this early in the winter Is a
climatic condition to cause universal con
graduation among the farmers OF the Ar
kansas valley. Snow means ditch water,
and ditch water means good crops oi
sugar beets. cantaloupes, fruits and all OF
the many profitable crops grown in the
Rocky Ford country. After speaking OF
the favorable irrigation prospects. the
Colorado Springs Ga.s,,e says: The
outlook is therefore mos, encouraging for
next summers crops, and with an abun-
dance Of water in prospect the farmers OF
tho state should feel encouraged to sur
pass all previous records in acreage eul-
tivased and quantity produced"

Rect Sugar Notes.

Some papers have been publishing ex-
aggerated reports Of the richness Of
sugar beets brought TO the Rocky Ford
factory. The highest tests have been
about 20 per cent. and the average is IL
which is very satisfactory to the growers,
In calculating the amount OF refined
sugar which a ton OF lZ-per-eent beets
will make il will be well to remember
that between s i-2 and per cent OF the
sugar content is lost in the various pro-
eesses Of manufacture.

There is only one drawback to sugar
beet culture. and that is the trouble OF
securing the extra help demanded during
two periods Of the season thinning and
and harvesting. The first is the more
critical time. and in order that the best
results be secured the work must be done
at the proper stage IN the growth Of the
young plants, In oder that all growers
may have the extra labor demanded for
this important work much labor must be
imported. While during the pas, three
years no serious ineonyeniences have re-
suited. nevertheless. there is demand
for more complete and systematic
method Of supplying this transient labor
in the spring. To some extent the same
lack Of help is felt when the time for har-
yes,ing arrives. II seems as II some or
ganixation Of growers might be effected
which could provide an adequate remedy
for this lack OF labor a, the critical times
mentioned. A conference OF growers
should be held To consider this important
feature Of their business, Could no, this
subiec, be given a leading place in the
proposed Farmers Institute?

We notice from Illinois exchanges that
a skilled orchardist is leasing orchards in
southern Illinois for term of three years
at the ridiculously low figure of SIS per
acre yearly. Owners of the orchards get
some additional compensation by having
the orchards left in first-class condition at
the termination of the lease. Had the
owners given the property the care it was
entitled to they would not have seen any
inducement in several times SIS per acre
rental. Out here in Colorado one tree
sometimes furnishes fruit which sells for
double what the Egyptian orohardists get
for one acres output.

calls it. for he sends it free, to anyone
who is a sufferer, in sufficient quaint
ties to convince of it's ability to cure,

Some of the cures cited are very re-
