Preparing The vinyard for Winter.

The preparation of the vineyard for
winter involves the questions of water
ing, pruning and covering. The question
of watering is not so important in the
vineyard as in the orchard, but it is one
that must be considered. To properly
ripen the fruit the vineyard must be
allowed to dry out during the ripening
period. and to facilitate covering, as
we'll as to guard against winter injury.
q reasonable amount of water sho I'D be
applied. In some localities it is Il "ught
that covering with wet soil is irju, ious.
but in our grape districts it has been
demonstrated that covering with a
reasonably wet soil is in no way detri-
mental.
Practically all our foreign grapes are
covered during the winter, and the
pruning is done In the fall to lessen the
labor of covering. Not only this, but

Stockholders Meeting.

Saturday afternoon the stockholders
Of the Alta Vista Reservoir Co. met at
the Office of the secretary, Paul Wilson
and formulated plans for the beginning
of work on the big dam. This reservoir
when finished will be of the greatest
benefit to this country, Rogers mesa in
particular. There will be enough wa
ter stored in this one reservoir to
water over 1000 acres of Rogers mesa,
and the principal stockholders are Rog-
ers mesa people.
Work will begin on December End
and will be rushed during the winter
and it will not be great while before
the stockholders will have an abundance
of late water for their land.
The people of this country are fast
beginning to realize that the salvation
of this country is plenty of water, and
that the only way to get it is to build
reservoirs -Hotchkiss Herald.

Colorado growers have long tried to
trim their grapes after the California
method. The necessity of covering,
however, has modified this system. and
we find we have low. broad frame
work which fails to hold the fruit off
the ground. In localities where the
native grapes are grown they are large.
ly trained on wire trellis. with very
good system of low renewal pruning.
1t is only recently that few growers
of foreign grapes have adopted this
method of training. While it has not
been thoroughly tested, it seems to
promise far better returns than the old
system. The matter of pruning is very
simple and consists in selecting num-
ber of canes of one seasons growth,
cutting out all old wood that it is possi-
BILE to dispose of. These new canes
should start from as near the ground as
possible to lessen the labor of covering.
They should be from three and one-half
to four feet, or from eight to ten nodes
in length. The number will vary some
what with the age of the vine. six being
about as many az can be handled on the
trellis. In addition to these long canes
it is well to leave from six to eight
spurs of one eye each mot counting the
basal eye.) Ii left near the ground.
these spurs throw very desirable fruit
ing canes for the following season.
Many growers will want to test this
system of pruning before adopting it,
and l would recommend that several
vines of each variety be selected and
trained on temporary trelfs until the
grower has satisfied himself as to the
adaptability of this system of training
for different varieties. In the mean
time some improvements may be made
upon the present system of training.
Many growers make mistake of prun-
ing too short. All fruiting arms should
be not less than four joints long.
While shorter pruning lessons the labor
of covering. it also reduces the yield of
the vine and the size of the branches.
In most sections where foreign grapes
are grown in Colorado it seems advis-
able to cover the vines during the win
ter. While the vines will probably
safely pass the majority of winters un-
protected, in some parts of the state it
is not policy to risk it. The vines
should be covered with from six to
eight inches of soil. The hand labor
can be greatly reduced by first plowing
few burrows to the vines with turn
ing plow. The finishing touches can
then be put on with shovel. II the
longer system of low renewal proves
satisfactory, it will greatly reduce the
labor of covering.

Home Coal Companies Organized at
hotchkiSs.

Two CO. operative organizations have
recently been perfected, the purpose
of each being to prevent any raise in
the price of cosl in the future. One is
composed of number of Rogers Mesa
people who have bought the Degraffin-
ried coal mine and will furnish coal to
stockholders at a rate lower than the
present market price. This company
is stocked at $4,000, but only enough
stock will be sold to pay for needed i'm
provements at the mine and for carry
ing on the work.
The shares will be sold at $40 each,
and coal will be sold to stockholders at
the price of $1.50 per ton at the mine.
To all others the regular market price
will prevail, which at present is sl.75.
This company is patterned somewhat
after the Farmers Coal Company of
Paonia, which is cooperative organi-
cation. Those interested in that COM
pany say that they expect next year to
be able to sell to stockholders all the
coal they want at $1.OO PER ton at the
mine.
The directors of this company are G.
H, Thomas, A. Linn, p. P. Slack, Ed.
Ray and Ed. Degraffinried, and they
are preparing to place the stock on the
market at once.
The other company is composed Of
number of the people Of Hotchkiss and
the surrounding country who have bar
gained for the property and business Of
the Hotch' iss Fu.I & Supply Co., for
merly known as the Bennett Coal Co.,
hereafter to run as cooperative coal
mine.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Nov. 20-Supply of cattle last
week was 1000 head against 3d.

same week last year. Trade here
was very uneven but on the
whole fairly satisfactory. East
ern markets were quoted 25 to
Soc lower under heavy receipts
but this had very little effect on
the local trade. Demand here
for good beef cattle was strong
and not enough on hand. Steers
advanced about a dime during
the week, bulk of good ones sell
ing to packers at $3.50 to 81. 10.
There were no choice steers here
and top prices were not realized.
Cows are 10 to 15c higher than a
ago and 26 to 40c higher than
two weeks ago. A bunch of
choice cows from the northern
Colorado feed lots sold Saturday
at $3.50. Some choice Wyoming
range cows brought $3.40 and
western slope cows sold at $500
to $3.35. Bulk of the pretty good
killing cows offered sold at $2.75
to $3.25, medium kinds at $2.25
to $2.65 and poorer stuff from
81. Is down. Common cows I'M
light demand and weak to a
little lower. Bulls were steady
at $500 to $2.35 for bulk. Veals
rather scarce and firm, best light
weights quotable at &.0O to $500.
Feeder and stocker trade was
very uneven during the week.
Choice dehorned steers sold
pretty close to steady but medium
kinds are Is to 25c lower and
plain steers fully a quarter off.
Choice dehorned western slope
feeders sold during the week at
1915 to $500 but it took good
ones to bring better than $500
and most of the fair to good
steers sold down to $500. To-
days receipts 1000 head. Beef
steady to weak. feeders and
stockers a little lower.
The hog demand is strong and
not enough coming. Packers paid
good prices last week and aver
age cost of hogs here was rather
higher than at river markets. All
markets are lower today bulk
selling here at $3.50 to $3.50.
Sheep receipts were very good
but demand light and trade dull.
Most of the stuff here was con-
tracted and going through to
feed lots. Eastern markets
closed lower and the market here
went down in sympathy.

SOME STATEMENTS RE-
GARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas
Give Reason for Their Belief in Him.

With a theory that human health
Is dependent on the stomach and with
a medicine which he says proves this
theory. L. T. Cooper. comparatively
young man. has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country. and in each
city has aroused a storm of discus
sion about his beliefs and his medi-
cines. Wherever he has gone, peo-
pie have called upon him by tens OF
thousands, and his preparation has
sold in immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over theNentire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In
view of this, the following statements
from two of the great number of fol-
lowers which he now has, are of gen.
eral interest.

st. Louis avenue. Chicago, has tbs
following to say on the subject of the
Cooper preparations: For more than

another. / had severe pains and
