SUGAR BEET FEEDING FOR MILK.
1t is the experience of all dairy
men in the state of Colorado that
there is more | rofit in winter dairy
ing than there is in summer dairy
ing. provided that dairy COWS are
supplied with "A proper ration. To
supply proper ration it is abso-
lut.l ly nect ssary to use some sue
culent feed to take the place of
grass. From all experiments that
have been made there is no succu-
lent feed that equals sugar beets.
Aside from its analytical food value
it aids in the digestion of dry feeds,
keeps the bowels open and gives IA
general tone of thrift to the ami
NAL. 1t puts the COW in the right
physical condition for the produc-
ton of milk. Sugar beets are
worth more to the dairymen us II
COW feed than they can be sold for
at Il sugar beet factory. AS an all
purpose ration for cattle. horses.
sheep. hogs and chickens, sliced or
shredded sugar beets are valuable
in furnishing 1t sugary. succulent
feed that combines readily with
any other forage fodder or grain
Stock will thrive better and give
better returns on mixed fare than
on straight grain feed. while the
cost of feeding will be greatly les
sened.
The great objection to raising
sugar beets for feed. is winter stor-
age This objection can be oyer
come at small cost i'll this way:
Plow trench 1 to ) feet wide and
scoop it out. say 5 inches deep.
pile the beets in II windrow from
1 to ) feet wide on the bottom. and
cover with earth. putting in ii soap
box with the ends knocked out on
top of the pit every 10 or II feet
as IA ventilator. In feeding, open
one end of the windrow and CON
tinue to feed from this end
PREPARING THE SOIL.
Preferably the land should be
plowed in the fall to secure proper
tilth. See that the soil is thorough
ly pulverized, and in all respects
prepare the ground as you would
for your garden and plant at the
same time you would plant your
garden beets.. Drill in rows two
and one-half to three feet apart.
eight to twelve pounds of seeds
per acre. and thin out to nine or
ten inches in the rows when the
fourth leaf appears. Cultivate and
hoe shallow to keep the weeds
down and the ground mellow until
the leaves shade the ground, when
the crop may be laid by until har-
vest.
Persons raising sugar beets will
confer IA great favor on The La Jara
Board OF Trade by letting the
Board know the fact, and by ask
ing for The Board of Trade infor-
nation card. We want to know
what success you have in sugar
beet culture that the information
may be used for the benefit of the
community and for San Luis val
ley generally.

OTTAWA BALL PLAYERS
UNDER ALIEN LAW
Argued in Their Suits to Recover for
Last Summers Salaries and
Therefore Contracts Are


Ottawa, Dec. 21.- Several baseball
players are sueing the Ottawa Baseball
association for back wages for services
rendered here this summer IL viii be
remembered that the Northern league,
made up Of Ottawa. Burlington, Barre
Montpelier and Rutland, Vermont, ana
Plattsburg, N. ", teams did not pan
out well and disbanded before the end
of the season. Local interest IN the
baseball world here now eenters in the
division court In which members of the
Ottawa team are sueing the executives
of the club for back salaries.
Special interest centers in the point
raised BY Gylu Osler for the defense.
Mr. 0sler argued that the players came
under the alien labor law and conse-
.quently any contracts made were null
and void. Mr. Osler said that the alien
law certainly applied and that the plain
tihs had no standing in Canadian
purt. This law applied with all the
greater force owing 70 the contracts
having been entered into in the United
States. Judge O'Meara's decision is
awaited with great interest.
Those sueing are Frank Shaughnessy,
ontfelder; S. Il. Watson. pitcher; Frank
Sanger, pitcher and out6elder; Frank
Martell, catcher: a. w. Daley, manager,
James s. Kennedy, third baseman, all
of the former Ottawa baseball team,

PATRICK WILL FIGHT
FOR HIS FREEDOM
Is Not Satisfied at Not Having Death
Sentence COMMITTED To Life
Imprisonment.

Ossining, N. III, Dec. 2f.--Albert r.
Patrick announced last night that he
was not satisfied with communication OF
his sentence from death on che electric
chair to life imprisonment and would
at once begin fight for freedom. A
writ Of habeas corpus will be applied
for, it was said, in the United States
court making Warden johnson the
defendant Patrick was condemned to
die for the murder Of William Marsh
Rice a New York millionaire
The case Of Albert r. Patrick is in
many respects unparalleled.
1t is doubtful If ever convicted man,
himself an able lawyer, has played so
large a part III the conduct Of his own
case, even turning his narrow quarters
in the death cells Of State prison
practically into a law office equipped
for the direction Of his battle for life.
Rice died September 23, 1900; Patrick
and Jones were arrested October 4
Jones at first declared that Patrick
himself had chloroformed Rice but in
other confessions, which varied ma
terially, he said he killed his master at
Patrick's instigation. This statement
was tne prlnclpal evidence TO sustain
the murder charge against Patrick
Jones was never tried as either princi-
pal or accomplice; he was released and
is said to be living in Texas. from which
State Rice, Patrick and himself origin
ally came.
Patrick was convicted March 81, 1902
and sentenced to death. Since then bis
remarkable fight has been continuous
IN every court in the State open to him
he has made his appeal, but always in
vain. The history of the battle ia a
long one, replete with sensational in.
cidents and human interest. Patrick's
brother in law, John T. Milliken of st
Louis, il said to have financed his bat
tie at great cost. 1t is known here that
Patrick intends to continue his efforts
to establish his innocence.
