NOTYET DEAD
PROSPECTS FOR AN ELECTRIC
RAILWAY PROMISING
Representative of Eastern Finan-
ciers Here-He Is Sur
prised at Beauty
of Country

The prospect for the construction
of the elecrtic railway in Greeley
and vicinity has never been brighter
than at the present time. The finan-
cling of the enterprise seems at last
to be about to be accomplished.
Little has been said for several
months about the Greeley & North
ern Railway g. Utility company, but
a great deal of quiet work has been
going on by Geroge j. Spear and his
associates. Recently Mr.. Spear
made an extended trip east to inter
est financiers in the enterprise. AS
a result, last week representative
of one of the largest financial syndi-
Gates of the east visited Greeley to
make an investigation for his COM
pany. "Wednesday he was taken IL
an automobile. with Mr.. Spear and
c. II. Ramsay and given "a spin over
about 100 miles of the country TO be
traversed by the proposed road. In
the morning they went to Ault ny
the way OF Pleasant valley ana
Eaton. Thence out into the Black
Hollow country. returning to Gree
lev shortly before dinner time. by
II O'Clock again they were in the
car, speeding toward the Hillsbors
and Highlandlake country
The visitor was astonished at the
country through which they passed
and remarked that while he knew
something of Colorado, this went be-
yond anything he had ever seen
here. He made valuable suggestions
to the local men in the further pro-
motion of the scheme, and assured
them before he left that he would
do all he could for them.
What was particularly gratifying
to the local men, was that he placed
an even higher value on the work
they had already done, than they hao
ventured to hope for.
A detailed report of the assets OF
the company is now being made to
be laid before the syndicate at aai
early date and with the recommends
tion that their representative VINO
has visited the field is sure to make,
there seems the best prospects that
the money will be forthcoming at an
early date.

1t is believed that all previous records
have been proken, but Colorado is
the only state that will show an in
crease in feeding operations. East
ern states all show a reduction from
last year of fully forty per cent in
the number of sheep and lambs on
feed. The reason Colorado is SO well
supplied is that buyers went to the
range and gathered in all available
sheep and lambs and the eastern buy
ers depending upon the market, got
left. While the feed pens are al
ready we'll filled there will still be
sheep coming in for at least another
month, and it is believed that the
pens will not have their full quota
until after the first of the year.
With wool still reaching toward the
20-cent mark and promising to go
even higher and the outlook favor
able for scarcity of mutton supplies
on the big markets, the feeders of
this state have no doubt of good prices
and handsome profits for their win
ter work. Record d-Stockman.

CAN USE PINON NUTS
Said to Make Excellent Pork
Fatteners.

market in Colorado seems about to
be solved, according to story from
the Pueblo Chieftain
Corn, the one great essential in the
profitable production of pork, as our
agriculturists long ago discovered to
their cost, is not the most paying of
crops in the Centennial state. To
be sure. the cereal is grown in the
state, and the quality is all that
could be desired, but when it comes
to quantity, Colorado is not able to
compete with Kansas, Nebraska and
other states situated in what is
known as the corn belt. Heretofore,
it has been believed that without
cheap corn and lots of it the raising
of hogs could not be protitably con-
Quoted. 1t has been found that the
hog will thrive on alfalfa and will
acquire goodly amount of fat. but
it has been the experience of hog
raisers, that alfalfa-fed hogs do not
make good pork, the flesh being more
or less fiabby, the animals requiring
a finishing course on corn in order to
give to the pork not only the re-
quisite tirmness but the flavor to
make the product marketable. AS
corn is not a paying crop in Colorado
and as the importation of the cereal
to supply the deficiency would be
manifestly too costly, Colorado farm
ers came to the conclusion that pork
raising was not among the profitable
thing for the agriculturist of the
Rocky mountain state. Despite this,
pork can be raised in Colorado, the
very best of pork at that, and it can
be marketed at a decided profit. The
secret of this is simple-feed pinon.
The pinon tree, according to those
who have experimental, offers a solu-
tion to the problem, how can we
raise pork in Colorado?'
Upon the gnarled branches of the
pinion grows in profusion a small
nut which is declared to be the
sweetest known. The meat of these
nuts is of course limited in guam
tity, for the nut itself is probably
the smallest that grows in the forests.
What the pinion nut lacks in size
it more than makes up in numbers,
for the little pine tree is most
prolific in its fruitage. This nut,
lying thickly under the trees all
along the foothills of the Rocky
mountains, is the one thing needful
to make pork raising profitable in
Colorado.
Experiments have been made with
the pinon nut and it has been found
that a much less quantity is required
to fatten the porker than any other
food known. The hogs eat the nuts
with avidity and the result is firm.
sweetly tasting product that Missouri
and Kansas, with their immense re-
serves of corn, can not hope to rival
in del1ciousness. The hogs gain
rapidly in weight-even more than
could their eastern neighbors fed on
corn, and the flesh has nutty flavor
peculiarly its own. Such pork, so
say those who have eXperimented
with the pinon nut as hog fooa,
could easily command the markets
of the land and when once used,
could command the highest price
when placed in competition with
,,rp fad pork
