Greeley Potatoes Not In 1t.

Although the San Luis valley
has carried off every award on po-
tatoes where she has had her tubers
on exhibition, and the yields per
acre here have far exceeded those
of the Greeley and other northern
Colorado districts, it is only in the
past few years that many of our
farmers have begun growing pota-
toes extensively and that the potato
consumers of the country have
learned the high quality of the
San Luis valley spud Last season
every man who raised patch of
potatos realized handsomely from it
and many growers had from 40 to
100 acres. This season the potato
acreage has been greatly increased
and the crop promises to be II
bumper.
4. l.. Moss, whose last crop of
ten acres produced $500 bushels,
has % acres of potatoes planted
on his farm north of La Jara this
year and the lowest estimate we
have been able to get as to the
yield is 200 bushels per acre, or
1900 bushels, and forty acres of
this ninety-tive will produce, ac-
cording to the judgment of some
of the best farmers in his district,
more than $50 bushels per acre.
Homer Neel, of Romeo, has an
S0-acre field of potatoes that would
make Greeley farmer smile like a
topper drinking from jug, if he
but had them on his northern Colo
RADIO farm. Mr.. Neel estimates his
yield will be up to the best in the
county.

Better than a Gold Nine.

AS an example Of the profits that
may be made in the hog business
in this vicinity. we wish to call at.
tention to what Frank Purslcy has
done. not that his case is an eXcep-
tional one but merely AS an exam
pie. He started in with four brood
sows, at cost of $50, and in four
years time after deducting the
living expenses of himself and
family for that period from the
revenue derived from his hogs-he
has cleared. IN cold cash, the sum
of $1,000. every cent of which was
made from the start his original
four SONS gave him.
Not owning farm when he de-
cided to try his hand at the hog
business. he leased raw land from
the state. broke it up and sowed it
to field peas and alfalfa. He was
able to turn off enough fat hogs
each season to supply the family
larder, pay the rental for his land,
make the desired improvements
and pay all other expenses, and
still retain his young sows for
breeding His success is merited,
but not phenomenal. Any man
who will devote. the interest and
energy to the business that has
marked Franks work can do the
same. He studied his hogs and
learned for himself how to make
the most out of them. And there
are scores of other farmers in this
vicinity who are doing equally as
well.

HAVEMEYERS INVEST
IN SAN LUIS VALLEY.

A 100000 land and irrigation
project for the San Luis valley,
backed by the brains, capital and
energies of the sugar kings, the
Havemeyers of New York, is to be
opened to the public in short
time.
The enterprise is known as the
Bodita Land and Irrigation com
pany and includes about 100000
acres of the most fertile lands in
the San Luis valley, near the line
of the ID. & r. G.. railroad.
Immense reservoirs and "A series
of irrigation bitches, canals and
laterals have been constructed and
the adjacent land is now ready for
reclamation.
The project has been under way
for several months and while all
plans connected with it have not
been carried out, the land will be
placed on the market through II

Finishing Hogs for the Market.

From 60 to 10 days before the
pig is to be marketed he should be
confined in limited quarters and
fed heavily until he becomes well
finished and fattened. Up to this
time he should be kept growing
every day, but fed as little grain
and as much forage as can be done
and maintain thrifty growth, and
he should be given ample exercise.
F'attening hogs will make the
greatest gains when they have just
enough exercise to keep their APP
petites sharp. A fattening hog
should be limited to half au acre,
and % fattening hogs kept on this
area will do better than greater
number. The hogs should be
sorted to lots of even size and age,
and no matter how many are being
fatteued, not over % should be al
lowed to run together. Brood sows
should hot be kept with fattening
hogs.
The hogs should be fed at regu-
lar hours. either two or three
times day, and at each feed should
be given Just tritie less than they
will eat up clean. The profits come
from inducing the hog to consume
IA large quantity of grain and main
tain a sharp appetite. The feeder
will secure the best results by
watching the hogs each time until
they finish eating. He will then
know whether the hogs are slow
about cleaning up the feed, show
ing over feeding, or whether they
clean up the feed quickly and need
more.
The hogs should have all the
clean, pure water they will drink
at least three times IA day. Colo
RADIO feeds are rich in protein. and
a hog eating them needs much
more water than when eating corn.
The hog should. before being
marketed, be well fattened. smooth
and we'll rounded with a good outer
covering of fat, and be firm and
solid to the touch. If the feeder
will 20 into "A pen of thin hogs and
feel them along the loin and back.
and then into pen of well fatteued
hogs. he can quickly learn the
feel that indicates good finish.
The hogs should be sorted to an
even size and weight before being
shipped.

MARITAL CONDITIONS BETTER
Fewer Divorced and More Married In

Than In 1907.

Sensitive Nebraskans who blush when
ever the so-callcd lax Nebraska divorce
law is mentioned can find some comfort
in a comparison OF the divorce and mar
riage licenses statistics for the last two
years. Five fewer divorce suits were filed
last year than there were the year before
and sixty-eight more marriage licenses were
Issued in 1903 than there were in 1907. The
ratio Of one divorce to three and a half
marriages is thus maintained within a

The work of the Omaha postoffice during

Postmaster b. +. Thomas said in refer

more intelligent, honest and industrious
class of people in the country than the
operating force of the Omaha postoffice.
During the year there has not been a
scandal traced to any one of the 300 clerks,
carriers and employees connected with this
office, and neither has a suspicion of dis
honesty been directed against a single one

One man who now is growing old says
his father as a small boy when
a house In the town was burned. That
was an accident. The other fire, which
happened recently. say about a dozen years
ago, was believed to have been of incen-
diary origin. But these fires did not de-
stroy the houses In which they happened,
because the houses are built of stone. All
that can burn is what is inside.
This felicitous state OF affairs Is as
cribed by some of the Inhabitants to the
Influence of San Pedro Claver, a priest OF
