Colorado Feed Lots,

The fall movement of sheep and
lambs 10 the feed lots has commenced
and the indications are that the Colo
RADIO feed lots will be better supplied
than they were last season, says the
Denver Record-Stockman. Last win
ter about million head were fattened.
This season it is estimated that there
will be 100000 head in northern Colo
rado alone. In addition there will be
about 100000 head in the San Luis
valley. and about 100000 in the Ar
kansas valley. Eastern feed lots will
not be SO well supplied as usuel. be-
cause the Colorado buyers were first in
the field and secured the bulk of the
sheep and lambs. Prices paid on the
range have been much higher than
usual, that the feeders do not look for
anything like the profit they had last
winter and in many instances the feed
ing operations are conducted for the
principal purpose of disposing of the
crops, and feeders will be satisfied
with fair price for their hay and
grain. 1t is estimated that it will take
market price of $500 per hundred
pounds to let the feeders out even.
With wool as high as it is, it is gener
ally believed that there will be no diff
ficulty in securing cents per pound
for choice lambs in the spring.
The cattle-feeding proposition is also
attracting more attention than usual
all over the state. There will be quite
a number of cattle fed in the western
part of the state, and operations in
northern Colorado and the Arkansas
valley will also be heavier than usual
The announcement of the coming of
the big packers to this market will
have the effect of booming this end of
the business, as one of the drawbacks
heretofore has been the long distance
shipping and consequent heavy shrink
age. HeI eafter Denver will provide a
market for all stock fed in the West.

TUBERCULOSIS KILLS RED MEN
Awful RavAges Of This Disease
Amonu the Indians,

The full blood Indians of the
United States are scarcely holding
their own in point of increase of
population" remarked Capt. Downs
special Indian agent OF the United
States government.
In some of the tribes there is "A
slight increase. but it is among the
mixed breeds and not among those OF
pure aboriginal stock. The deadly foe
OF the red man continues now. as for
many years past, to be tuberculosis.
Just why this disease should seem
to commit greater ravages among the
Indians is difficult to understand At
first the theory was that it was due
TO their changed mode of existence:
that the transition from savage 20
civilized life made them peculiarly
susceptible. | am inclined to think
that there is but little basis for this
view. especially as the number of vic
tins claimed by consumption shows
no sign Of diminution. although many
years have elapsed since the Indian
forsook his primitive ways of living,
"A more reasonable explanation is
found in the present habits of the peo-
pie. In building their tepees or log
houses they make very scant allow
ance for ventilation. and sleep in quar-
ters from which fresh air is largely
excluded. Besides. a dozen or more in
dividuals will occupy room that
ought not at the most to contain more
than two. Another. bad practice of
which 1t is difficult to break them is
Indians will take turns in smoking
the same pipe. and If one of the party
be diseased there is always the dan
ger of its being transmitted. Wash

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Oct. l6.
The cattle market shows some inn
prOvement over . week ago. although
the appreciation has not been very ma
terial. Eastern markets are quoted
mostly steady to strong with instances
OF 1O-cent advance. The local mar
ket has had a good run all week and
prices fully steady to q little stronger
on the good kinds and barely steady
on the inferior stuff Few beef steers
were included in the supply and pack
ers were unable to get as many of the
light weight kind as they wanted. They
got = few odds and ends at strong
prices but are still very much in need
Of good steers. Cows have been plen-
tiful but the supply Of choice ones linn

with . very good grade at $40 to
$2.65 ano medium kinds at $500 to
$2.35. A good many of the COWS Of
fered were common and sales below
$2.OO were numerous. Bulls were in
good demand and strong with $2.2O
representing top for the week. Veals
were also strong, the bulk going at
$3.25 to $500. A good, active trade
was had in feeders and stockers. Of
ferings were liberal, but still not
large enough for the demand and
good many more good steers could
have been disposed of to good advan-
tage. Best steers sold at 1855 freight
paid and 1856 fiat, with the bulk at
$40 to $3.45 and common stun from
$500 down. Buyers were on the yards
in good numbers every day. and as
dealers also had plenty of orders
there was good competition for every
thing desirable and very few cattle
were forwarded in first hands. Prices
have been rather better here than at
river points.

An agricultural writer believes in
the use of alfalfa hay for horses. He
says that if horse is given about
what alfalfa it should have, say twelve
to fifteen pounds daily for horses of
1000 pounds and fair grain ration.
the animal will travel just as far and
just as fast as with other kinds of hay
and be in better condition. Horses gen
orally get too much hay, no matter
what kind they are fed. A good ration
for the horse of any kind Of feed is
about one pound of grain and one and
a half pounds of hay TO each one hun
dred pounds of horse. and this would
apply to alfalfa. In fact, the horse
should do better on the alfalfa than
with other hays and with less grain.
