The Public Lands Convention.

The Public Lands Convention in Den
yer on June 1S, 10 and 20 is likely to
have far reaching results 1t is the first
time on record when the western states
have officially attempted to get together
todiscuss matters of mutual interest
I. ltis generally recognized here in the
west that the people OF this section have
problems that are unknown in any other
part OF the country. Conditions here
are entirely different from those that
prevail east of the Missouri river and it
is exceedingly difficult to make the east
ern people understand these conditions.
east having the bulk of the population,
control in legislative matters. The only
safety to the people of the west, there
fore, is to oppose any and every attack
upon the constitutional rights OF the
state. The gradual encroachment OF the
national government upon the rights OF
the state has probably been due more to
ignorance than with any intention of
harming the west, but the result is the
same. The Denver convention will un-
doubtedly serve notice upon the national
administration to keep hands off these
prerogatives that are conferred upon the
state by the constitution.
While every effort is being made to
rgidly exclude party politics, the con
vention will undoubtedly have an i'm
portant political significance. This rec
ognition by the people of the western
states by the mutuality Of interest that
exists, will certainly have its effect upon
the future political action. OF late years
there has been decided disposition Of
the western states TO vote together when
it comes to national affairs. This con
vention is not likely to discourage this
tendency. This is one Of the reasons
why the people of the whole country are
watching the convention with so much

The Cattle Market

The Colorado Agricultural College
would urge all cattle growers of the
state to raise hogs and to induce their
neiKhbor farmers who are not cattle
growers to make hog raising prominent
feature of their work, in order to secure
good market for their cattle.
There are few lines OF farming in Colo
ratlo that pay as well for capital invest
eui and for labor required, as raising and
iattening hogs, and the business gives
quick returns. Less than one and one

amount of pork that can be secured for

The sailing, curing and smoking OF the
meat and the rendering, packing and
dlsposiug OF the lard and of other pork
products gives regular employment to
packing house forces.
Colorado for years has been one of the
most important states in raising cattle
for feeders in the corn belt to fatten. We
have the feed to fatten every beef animal
grown in the state, and our feed will
produce flavor in beef as much super
ior to that from corn feeding as Colorado
fed mutton ranks above that from all
other sources.
Every Colorado stockman knows how
advantageous it would be to have all our
cattle fed, fattened and slaughtered
within the state, with great packing
center developed at home.
Let the cattle growers raise the hogs
needed to supply in full the demands ol
our home packing centers, for in so do
ing they will also provide a good market
within the state for all the cattle they
can put on the market.
