termining to admit to membership
in its organization none but men who
are engaged in the growing OF live
stock. They do this, not because
they desire to be clsnnish, but be-
cause the growing Of live stock. is a
sufficiently large and important bus
mess to command an association OF
men engaged in that business.
Railroad men and others are inter
ested in the business but not as pro-
ducers and their point of view is
quite apt to be entirely antsgonistic
to the view held by the stockmen.
There may be organizations with
broader purpose than that of the
stockmen in which all may join, such
as association for the develodment
of all western interests, but the
stockgrower is large business man
on his own hook and it is therefore
quite natural that he should desire
an organization Of his own.-Colo-

Tho President and the Railroad.

No one need have any question
concerning the course President
Roosevelt is going to pursue in re-.
gard to Legislation to empower the
interstate commerce commission or
some similar body to regulate and
when necessary make railroad rates.
His position in relation to this sub
ject is clearly correct, and he will
have the cordial support of the great
mass of the people in all his efforts
to induce congress to enact the re-
quisite laws. The power contem-
plated is urgently needed in order
that abuses and Determinations may
be prevented. The railroad com
panIes will not make the requisite
rates to insure fair opportunities of

Dubious DoinqS of Director Depew

Senator Depew would have it under
stood that he is not frenzied tinan-
cier but he admits that he is a loose
fnancier, and that is bad enough. In
testifying at the investigation of the
Equitable Insurance society he said
that, as director of the society, he
had voted in favor of loan by it to
the Depew Improvement company of
$3.50, 600, although the value of the
property covered by the loan was only
$3.50, 900, but tried to excuse himself
by adding that he did not advise the
loan. His duty was to advise against
such loan and to vote against it.
The senator confesses to a verbal
agreement on his part to save the
Equitable from loss on the loan, but
declares that the promise was not
legally binding. He admits that
neither loan nor interest had been
paid, and that the mortgage has been
foreclosed.
The Depew Improvement company,
which was originally composed of the
late Walter Webb. third vice presi
dent of the New York Central Rail
road and prominent Buffalo real estate
men, caused the town of Depew, on
our border, to spring up like IL mush-
room. A large tract OF land which
had been acquired by the company
was presented to the New York Cen
t,n1 ba Of Shn,,u
That made the land adjacent to the
shops very valuable, and that is where
the company was supposed to come in
for profits. But money was needed
for the promotion of the sc eme and
having named the town after Mr..
Depew the companys officials did not
hesitate to ask him to be the producer.
He didn t happen to have the ready
cash, so the company applied to the
Equitable and succeeded in obtaining

these cattle were good, almost fancy,

market opened this week with good
demand except on the common and
unfinished kinds, which are weak to

and lower with the supply in excess of
the demands. There is practically
nothing doing in the feeder and stocker
market. 1t is too early yet with the
corn crop very uncertain. The out
look for fall is far from satisfactory
The Indications are that as far as
Denver is concerned, it will be repe-
tition of last fall, with good demand
here and prices constantly above the
river markets, but of course, some
what controlled by prices there. This
will be the principal feeder market
this year and local commission firms
are already heavily loaded with orders
to be filled in the fall. Until western
shippers make this their regular mar
ket, however, prices must continue to
be more or less controlled by the east
srn markets. The strong local de-
nand for feeders this season, however,
will have the effect of making prices

he domination of eastern quotations. |

CORN PLANTING.
Time and Method Under Widely Va
ryinR Condition..
BY c. Z. HARTLEY

By C. =. HARTLEY
Throughout all the corn growing sec
tons of the country it is the general
experience that corn planted early
most often gives the best yield. In
the northern states there is little choice
as to time of planting Corn must be
planted as soon as the ground is sutfi-
clently warm in order that it may ma
ture before early fall frosts. In the
southern states the growing season is
long enough to allow planting ut differ
ent dates, ;hus lessening the likelihood
of having the entire crop cut short by
drought. Growing conditions are more
favorable i'll the spring and corn usual
ly produces better If planted ut that
time. Although the southern summers
are long enough to afford plenty of
warm weather. corn planted In the
summer will ripen in less time and
usually produce less than If planted
in the spring. Fields planted early
frequently escape attacks of the bud
worm, while later paintings of the
same year suffer severely. AS the re-
suit Of many years trials at different
state experiment stations, the best
planting season has been found to be

Crop Bound Fowls.

The ordinary poultryman sometimes

come out. After some is removed he
again inserts the nozzle, and there is
increased room for water. Taking it
out, he again adds pressure to the crop,
and so on till the crop is empty. This

And, seeing them, is free
To take my measure by them
He's not the friend for me.

Who notes my greatest failings,
And overlooks the rest
Who-after l have striven,
And have not failed-is free,
With words of commendation-
He is the friend for me.
He that forever warns me,
Of dangers in my way,
Who doubts my strength to meet them
And ever bids me stay,
May truly seek to shield me
May "wish me well"-but he,
Whose faith is inspiration
He is the friend for me.
Not he who fees when slander
Assails my fair, good name
Lest on him falls shadow,
OF all bear of blame
But he whose voice upholds me,
And speaks word for me;
Who wields a blow in my defence
He is the friend for mel
