WILL TRY TO SECURE
NEW RAILROAD STATION

Messrs. c. A. Biggs. James H. Pea
body, Robert 8. Lewis and D. e. Glib
son, members OF the committee ap-
pointed by the Canon City Merchants
Association, went to Denver Monday
night for the purpose OF comforting
with the general officials OF the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad Company
In relation to new railroad station
for this city; the old one being mani
testify inadequate to meet the rapidly
growing freight and passenger busi-
ness OF the company at this point.
Mayor T. B. Coulter was member
of the committee but was unable to
get away and the matter was presented
without his assistance. The committee
will be able to lay lot of data before
the railroad company showing the in
creasing Importance of Canon City as
a shipping point and of the necessity
of modern station building to facili-
tate its business here.
There Is good reason to believe that
the mission of the cbmmittee will be
successful and that Canon City will In
the course of year or so be given
railroad station commensurate with
its dignity and Importance.

NO ADDITIONAL STREET
LIGHTS VERY SOON

The matter of additional street lights
for which half score or more petit
tions are on file, was summarily dis
posed of by the adoption Of resolu-
tion Monday night by council in which
1t places itself on record as opposed
to such improvements at the present
time owing to the insufficiency of the
fund on hand for the purpose. Under
the provisions of the resolution all Of
the petitions on file in the Office of
the city clerk are denied.
Edward MacClain, whose wife was
seriously injured in runaway near
the penitentiary a few days ago, ap-
peared before the council and asked
that fagman be stationed at the soda
springs to warn drivers of vehicles of
the approach of trains and switch en-
gines on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad tracks. The matter was re-
ferred to the ordinance committee.

VISITS CANON CITY AFTER
ABSENCE OF MANY YEARS

Mike Smith, formerly resident of
Canon City, but now living at Craig,
Colorado, stopped OF here Monday for
a brief visit with friends while on his
way back to Routt county from busi-
ness trip to Denver. Mr.. Smith, with
his wife and family, left here in 1882
and went to Routt county, where they
located a ranch in the Bear river
country and engaged in the stock busi-
ness.
During the twenty-four years that
have elapsed since Mr.. Smith moved
away he has not been in Canon City
until this week, although he has had
occasion to pass through here several
times as a railroad passenger on his
way to Denver since changing his
of abode.
Mr.. Smith has prospered in the ranch
and cattle business ard for the last
two or three years his family has re-
sided at Glenwood Springs In order
that the children might have the bene
at OF the school advantages Of that
place. Mr.. Smith spends most of the
time In Routt county looking aftsr his
stock, occasionally going to Glenwood
Springs.

of the most stirring scenes In the ma
tional history. They removed from IL

that state until eleven years ago, when

There are q few simple points that
all dairymen should remember:
A dairy COW needs comfortable shel.
ter in bad weather. plenty Of clean,
nourishing food and kind treat ment
every day IN the year. II she is han.
died roughly she win retallate by caus.
ing the owner direct financial loss.
Her great distended udder will not
permit Of abuse or long journeys at n
rapid gait. She must have tender
treatment when the milk is being
drawn and when she Is being driven
TO and from the pasture.
A dairy cow Is taxed to the utmost
in loading milk with every ele ment
necessary for human food, and excite
ment disturbs and often retards the
process Of the perfect elaboration Of
the milk. During rumination and when
secreting the milk the COW dem ands
unusual quiet and comfort.
Easy going management and tender
and almost affectlonate treatment from
youth to age are most conducive to the
development Of that domestic nature
OF tue COW WHICH ii 30 muC0 In mar.
mony with country life.
While the kindly hearted dairy man
admires the marked features Of docil-
ity. gentleness and beauty in every in
dividual cow and his heart rejoice s in
the fact that she is tenderly trea ted,
1t is necessary that he study the prop
critics Of the grains and grasses with
which the animal Is fed.
He should mix the food with careful
hands, and II 1t seem necessary he
should sell other dairy food in order
that he may purchase such feeding
stuff as to form well balanced ration.
This sometimes insures the largest re-
turns for the least money expended.
The crops should always be harvest
ed at the time when they will do the
cows most good and then fed with a
liberal hand.
The capable dairyman avoids the
ruinous effects Of cows hooking each
other by removing the bud of the horn
from the calf. This practice has saved
the life Of many a valuable COW and
still more valuable man and has solved
the question of economy Of stable
building and protection Of the weak
from the strong.-Cor. Farm Progress.

To Increase the digestible protein In
cattle rations most economically is
often difficult Of determination, says +.
e. Benson In Rural New Yorker.
have found the following rule, COM
puted from tables by Hacker, based
on the value Of bran, of service to me {:
Multiply the following factors by the
price Of bran per ton and you have the
amount for the different concentrates:
Oats, .012; corn, .021; barley. .01S; corn
and cob meal, .01S; peas, .O47; rye,
.O24; wheat, .025. The same applies
to the following in tons: Cottonseed
meal, 2.56; linseed meal, 221; wheat
shorts, 80. For instance, If bran is
worth $23 per ton, you can afford to
pay 23x .O12-.276 per bushel for oats.
AS sufficient protein is what the aver
age farmer lacks in his home pro-
duced ration, a ready and simple rule
like the above for comparing the va
riOus concentrates is convenient to
have in his notebook when he Is buy
ing feeds.
