a Neglected Farm Interest.

There Is one thing in regard to tho farm
operations Of tho Rocky Ford country
which is hard to explain. And tha. is
why more attention is no. given to poul-
try. Eggs are always in demand at prices
highly profitable to the producer. never IN
the most plentiful days Of spring being
low. Many farmers nigh. add largely to
their annual income by keeping large
floeks Of poultry and giving them such
caro- in tho winter as to secure an almost
continuous supply OF high priced eggs.
There is no charge for this suggestion. bu,
It is advice which is worth hundreds O.
dollars to otero county farmers.
p. X. Blinn Of the experiment station
is an enthusiastic poultry raiser and was
the winner Of first premiums on White
Plymouth Rocks at our recent fair. And
he is determined to further increase tho
standard OF excellence Of his pens. He
yesterday received from U. r. Fishel OF
Hope. Ind. $40 cockerol. Mr.. Fishel's
White Plymouth Rocks have national
reputation. In tho same shipment Mrs.
E. S. Fear received a coekore Of the same

A Word to Retail Merchants.

Every city that has successfully built
itself up as a center Of Wholesale business
has done SO by encouraging local retail
trade in the area it has attempted to
serve.
The city Of Denver is disregarding this
rule. Tho cheap-john excursions to that
city are being run not for the Wholesale
trade but for the retail customers. 1t is
hoped to bunco the small traders, by the
bait Of cheap ticket or some other bar
gain counter method. into going to the
capital city and thus to deprive the re-
tailors Of the small cities and towns Of
their rightful business.
The conclusion is evident that Denver
would like to see no store Of any import
anee soutside of its own limits, and the
success Of the Denver policy would in
fact confine outside merchants to the
country crossroads grocery business.
So long as Denver persists in its pres
ent effort to injure doretailers South
ern Colorado retailers should draw their
supplies from cities that have adopted
the wiser policy of encouraging local
trade and helping to build up the COM
munties with which they expect to do
business.-Pueblo Chieftain.

DR.. LoRB,s DISCOVERY.
me Noted scientist ssys That hlussuiaI
Diseases Can BE Cured By
Calcium salts.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Dr. Jacques Loci
has discovered that muscular and
nervous diseases such as st. vitas
dance, paralysis agitans, locomotoI
ataxia and sleeplessness can be cured
by administering calcium salts, that
is, such salts as are found in we'll
water and many foods. Announce
ment of this discovery in scientific re-
search by the former head Of the de-
partment Of physiology at the Uni
versity Of Chicago has just been
made. In one of the decennial pub.
LEGATIONS just issued by the University
Of Chicago press DR.. Loeb. tells Of his
experiment on lower forms of life
and the conclusions suggested in re-
gard TO human beings. Simply
stated, the conclusion is that the
presence of calcium salts in the
muscles Is what prevents their witch
ing; that practically all nervous dis
eases are caused by the absence Of
the calcium, and that, therefore, TO
restore normal conditions and effect
a cure, the cure is to dose with cal
cium salts.
