pleasant may be taken for granted.
Isolation has worked against life on
the farm, and has driven our boys and
girls into the cities in countless thou
sands. When the neighbors may be
called together for chat over the
wires, and when the postman brings
to the door overy day the letters and
papers which used to cost a trip to
town, sociability must be increased
and the loneliness largely banished.
AS men talk and otherwise communi-
cate with one another more frequently
and freely, they can, and doubtless
will discharge more easily and with
greater thoroughness their collective
duties. At least this should be so.
Yet it depends upon the manner in
which these new opportunities are
met and taken advantage of.
Large bodies of our people in the
cities have been all their lives in this
atmosphere of daily papers and tele-
phones, and have not appreciably ad-
vanced in real intelligence. There is
such a thing as too much of a good
thing; and it is question as to
whe her or not the flood of books, pa
pers and magazines now thrown on
the market is not more or less of an
evil For one thing, it conduces to
careless reading. For another, the
competition for the ear of the people
is so fierce that the daily press is
largely engaged in shouting match
through the medium of glazing head
lines and sensationalism.
Many of our farmers far from tele-
phone lines and without rural delivery
are as intelligent and as good citizens
as they ever will be when all these
blessings come to them.
So with books. 1t is doubtless pleas
ant to have the last novel brought to
the door by the circulating library, as
soon as it comes from the press. But
there are dozens of these every week,

l herewith give notice that all but
ter manufactured by use of this recipe
will be considered adulterated, and the
party using it will be prosecuted. l
quote from the act of congress ap-
proved May 9, 1902: Manufacturers
of adulterated butter shall pay six
hundred dollars per year. Wholesale
dealers in adulterated butter shall pay
a tax of four hundred and eighty dol
lars per annum, and retail dealers in
adulterated butter shall pay tax of
forty-eight dollars per annum."
This will make the party who uses
this recipe in manufacturing butter Ii
able as manufacturer and also as a
wholesale dealer. Yours respectfully,
E. A. M'DONALD,
State Dairy and Food Commissioner.

NEW coNDITIoNs-NEW DUTIES.

A writer in the New York Herald
tells of the new conditions of farm
life now fast developing in the West
and mentions as powerful factors in
these the rural telephone and the ru-
raj free delivery system. He points
out the fact that these agencies are
bringing farmers more closely in touch
with the world and with each other,
and justly concludes that this must
work great changes in farm life. Our
rural population is up against the
same situation as regards daily papers
and other means for the dissemination
of intelligence that our urban people
have met for many years.
That it will make farm life more

Food Commissioner, Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the LIST
instant received. In reply to it's par
ticular inquiry it is only necessary to
say that any butter IN which a trace
of scale pepsin or alum can be found
comes unquestionabIy under the legal
definition of adulterated butter, as
found in the act of May, 1902, section
4, which says: "Adulterated butter is
hereby defined to mean any
butter in the manufacture or manipu-
Iation of which any process or mate
rial is used with intent or effect of
causing absorption of abnormal guam
titles of water, milk or cream"

The Average Saloon as Viewed b
Liquor Paper.

The Literary Digest last week gave
prominence to quotation from the
Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular Of
New York. the national organ Of the
liquor interests. In reviewing the gen.
eral trade situation the Wine and Spirit
Circular says:
"The average saloon is out Of line with
public sentiment.
The average saloon ought not to be
defended by our trade, but it ought to be
condemned. In small towns the average
saloon is nuisance. It is a resort for
all tough characters. and in the south for
all idle negroes.
at is generally on prominent street,
and It Is usually run by sport who cares
only for the almighty dollar. From this
resort the drunken man starts reeling to
his home; at this resort the local fights
are INDUCED in. 1t is stencil in the
nostrils Of society and disgrace to the
wine and spirit trade"
After reading the above don't fail to
remember that it is not the sentiment Of
a prohibition organ but Of paper devoted
to the interests Of wholesale liquor dealers
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1903-04-03

The time has now arrived when it
seems perfectly safe to make confident
prediction Of an abundant crop Of fruit.
The chances for damaging frost after
this date are quite remote. Hon. ]. H.
Crowley was interviewed by telephone
on Wednesday in regard to tho fruit out
look and he says il was never better. All
kinds Of fruit will be mos. abundant ex-
eept peaches, and they are a variety Of
which we are never sure. but which bear
with enough regularity 10 make a peach
orchard very profitable property. Mr..
Crowley estimates that ninety per cent Of
the buds on uncovered peach trees have
been killed by the Iowa temperature
which prevailed for brief time during
the past winter. Trees which have been
laid down and covered will present their
enterprising owners with abounding crops

Wilson's Effective Campaign.

Rev. X. A. n. Wilson, Of Pueblo. has
been holding street meetings all this
week and they will continue up to and
including Monday evening. The meet
ings arc opened with music by the band
and all have been well attended. Should
the nights be windy or stormy the meet
ings will bc adjourned to one OF the
churches.
Mr.. Wilson stands high in the cstima.
ton Of the citizens OF Rocky Ford as a
public speaker, having delighted large
crowds at c. A. K. reunions. As an ad.
vocatc of No-Liccnsc he is cminently
fair. and even those who differ from, hin,
most radically can take no exception to
the way in which he presents unanswcr.
able reasons why the saloons should bs
outlawcd. If YOU have not heard him dc
not fail to go out tomorrow evening
You will be instructed II not convinced

Some Good Men.

There is no reason why any No-License
voter should scratch his ballot next Tues
day.
Look over the ticket: Or. Pollock. G..
C. Hawkey, D. v. Burrell. P. j. Reifel. J..
E. Lawson, Sol T. Wolfe and W. D. Nc
Pherson are the men who will administer
the affairs of the city. Every one is a
successful and conservative business
man. 1t has been repeatedly acknowl-
edged by the opposition to be the strong
est ticket ever put in the field for any
party here. Every one Of these men
started with limited resources and by
thrift, industry and economy has built up
business for himself.
1t is said the No-License people have
made the saloon the only issue Of the
campaign. This is far from the truth.
You cannot pick seven other men in the
whole city with such record.
These men will give US the most eco
nomical and safest administration Rocky
Ford has ever had. The water, sewer
system and other intnrests are safe in
their hands. and with the absence Of the
saloon our beautiful city will be an attrac-
ton to the best people to become resi-
dents

''Thcy Sell as Much Liquor In Malne
Is They DO In Colorado"

Lots sec! Whom tho law went on tho

tho sheriff Of Cumberland county offered
Sloo reward TO any ono who would find
u single place in Portland where liquor
was sold. And he offered another Sloo
IL such place could DO found in tho
county.
Let's hear from Senator Frye Of Maine.
now president pro tenn Of tho u. S.
senate. He says: Il can remember tho
time when in tho state Of Maine there
was grocery store at nearly every four
corners in certain portions Of the state.
whose principal business was in the sale
Of New England rum:. when the jails
were crowded and poverty prevailed.
Today the country portions Of the stAte
are free from tho sale Of liquor; poverty
is comparatively unknown and in some Of
the counties tho jails have been without
occupants for years at time. Wherever
the laws have boen enforced this eondi-
ton of things has been the inevitable re-
suit. The law is not failure; on the
other hand wonderful success. ! dc
not mean to assert that there is no liquor
sold in our large cities where evasions Of
the law are so much more easily made
than in the country. We have laws
against murder and theft, but no man is
SO insane as to suppose that under their
influence there will be no murder or steal-
ing"
Quite testimonial and very interesting
because it comes from one Of the greatest
men in Maine.

The principal argument advanced in
Rocky Ford against the No-Lieense ;iekc,
is this: Liquor sellers will continue to
sell liquors in defiance Of law. Therefore
let US fi1 the laws to suit them. This Is
the position and is a premium on law
breaking allowing acknowledged viola
tors OF law To dictate what the law shall
be. Tho people OF Rocky Ford do no,
believe this and will say so at tho polls
