The state coal-mine inspector.
Mr.. John d. Jones, reports that 80
men were killed and lis injured
in the coal mines of Colorado in
1907 Twenty five of the deaths
resulted from explosions of gas or
dust, three from explosions of
powder or misplaced shot, fifty
two from falls of roof, and eight
from snffocation. Nine men were
killed by being crushed by cars or
motors. one was killed by electric
current, and one was killed in
shaft. The death rate per thou
sand employees was SO in 1907 as
against II in 1906.

road and outfitting point for all

now grown entirely out of Mr.
Munson's recollection and he could
find nothing that looked familiar
about the place. Jack rabbits were
the only inhabitans of La Jara in
those days but Mr.. Munson says
they We're very numerous. OF a

Newcomers should have well
house or at least well box as a
substitute for the ice box of the
east. The well house resembles
the old spring house of our fathers
except that it is built of boards in
stead of rock, and is more roomy
and slightly. The well box may be
made very cheaply of rough lum-
Der with a tight fitting cover and
lined with tin or galvanized iron
The box is set near the artesian
well and small stream of water
made to flow through it. A vent
allows only about an inch of wa
ter to accumulate in the box, and
into this the dishes containing
milk, butter and the like are set.
AS the artesian water is always
pure and ice cold, the arrangement
is ideal, giving one all the COM
forts of an ice box without the
fear of contamination that is pres
ent in old rafrigerators.

How to Start With Hogs in
Colorado.

4
Colorado.
For capital, labor and time re-
quired there is no business of any
kind in Colorado that is paying
larger profits than raising hogs
where the grower is an expert.
AS high as 300 per cent. net pro-
fit has been made in six months
under ordinary farm conditions.
The possibilities of SO large
profits have induced many farmers
and business men who have had
no experience with hogs to go into
the business.
Many of these beginners with
no knowledge have started on a
large scale and have lost money.
Handling hogs profitably requires
skill and experience and the be-
ginner should start slowly and
not get these at too great "a cost.
Select any one of the four
breeds s-Poland China, Berkshire,
Duroc-Jersey or Tamworth.
Get a good judge of hogs to Sc
lect for you from one to five S ows,
not more. Select good individuals
that come from prolific strains on
both sides.
With careful management from
II to 20 pigs should be marketed
each year from a prolific MIXTURE
SOW.
The beginner should studt his
hogs closely, becoming acquaGnted
intimately with their habits, their
likes and dislikes, learning what
they need and what is ba'l for
them.
Cheapness in production is the
first point to be mastered by the
beginner. In his breeding he
should work for large litters, early
maturity and quality.
Starting with one SOW, it will
pay to buy a mature one that has
shown that she will produce good
pigs and raise eight to ten at a
litter. She should have two lit
ters year
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw. sod or boards. The begin
ner can watch his small lot of
hogs carefully and learn how to
make them grow rapidly at least
expense.
If any trouble occurs it can
usually be seen in small lots of pigs
before it is past curbing. When
there is loss it cannot be heavy
and the grower gets his experience
cheaply.
The second year three or four of
the best SOW pigs should be saved
with their dam.
The third year the grower should
have learned enough about grow
ing hogs to be able to handle ten
sows and their produce and after
that he should know enough to
slowly increase his hog herd to
the limit of his farm.
Cheap shelter and fences should
be used until the profits from the
hogs will pay for better ones. No
large building should be erected
until hogs have been grown for
several years on the farm and the
breeder is sure of what he wants
and where he needs to locate it.
Sows should be kept as long as
they produce good litters. An old
SOW will usually have large pigs,
greater number and pigs with
more vitality than an immature,
growing SOW.
Starting with one SOW, she will
be the foundation of the herd, no

SPRING HATS FOR MEN.

It is probably true that more men have gone through the past winter without buying new hats than at any time since 1893. Statistics show that the women bought their millinery as usual, in spite of the financial strin- gency; but did without, apparently, that their better halves might blossom in millinery sense. In conseqence of this commendable self-denial, there are more disreputable looking Derbies and soft hats around town than ever before-hats which have seen more service than hats are ordinarily sub jected to. If you could examine the best looking hats which are now new, you would find them either Crofut & Knapp or Stetson make, the hats Meigs & Co. have sold for years. and which are now pretty generally known to be the highest grade. headwear made for men. In a racing sense, the Past Performance" of these hat put them strong in the running this spring; and to provide for the general demand for new hats already making itself felt, Meigs & Co. have provided very full and complete stock of the latest spring styles from beth the Crofut & Knapp and the Stetson factories, which they now invite you to see. They also show spring shirts, neckwear, suits and top coats.
