Rocky Ford enterprise., 1904-03-18

We believe that many men owning
farms of from 40 to l60 acres can well
afford to pay more attention to poultry as
a money making venture. As it now is,
the poultry is usually turned over to wo-
man folks, and the men take little or no
interest in providing suitable facilities or
food for the hens, simply keeping them as
free -for-all foragers, and never taking
any interest so long as they have what
eggs they want to eat and fried chicken
when the parson comes to dinner. The
average return from hens left to take
care of themselves is probably not far
from $50 to $50 on the average farm
homestead. This income might be easily
trebled with proper food care and shelter
provided. One sure way in which to add
to the income of almost any farm is to
take better care of the poultry. And let
it be remembered that in this western
country eggs never command a low price.
1t is matter of constant wonder that
more farmers do not go into poultry.

La Junta's recent fire was surely a
blessing in disguise. as the Santa Fe has
definitely planned TO rebuild the shops on
a far larger scale than before. Work on
the construction of the new shops has
commenced and La Junta is enjoying a
boom. Just a word Of caution. neighbors:
Don't overestimate the effect of the en-

many more stores and dwellings than

Lack Of Jurisdiction
Causes Dismissal

For the first time In years Judge
Jackson yesterday dismissed an I'm
portant case for lack of jurisdiction,
and the matter Of Sweeney & Por-
ter6eld against the Carter OH
company will have to come up for
hearing In some other court.
The action of the plaintiffs Is for
the purpose of recovering $4,000,
which amount they claim Is due
them from the defendants for the
drilling of oil wells.
The court dismissed the case on
the grounds named, and 1t Is hard
matter to tell just where suit may
now be brought, as the plaintiffs
and defendants reside In different
States. .-Parkersburg News.

gretfully broke up the joyous
party to say their adieux to the
charming hostess to whose tact
and ingenuity they largely owed
the evenings pleasure.
