a-wreck financially is the popular
passion for amateur dress-making.
The first thing the average young wife
thinks of in her zest for proving the
theory that two can live as cheaply
as one, is making her own clothes.
She goes down town and buys at
random and goes to a tailoring col
lege to make herself a lot of frocks.
Now there is no good reason why
many women should not make their
own clothes, but to suppose that every
woman can be a gown builder is
absurd. 1t is no more reasonable to
expect that than to demand that every
man build his own house. And the
woman never lived who could. in
few desultory lessons at a sewing
school, learn to make a tailored suit
or gown. The making Of presentable
clothes is an art as painfully acquired
even with a natural gift in that d.
rection, as any other art or profess
sion. A good gown builder spends
many years in the pursuit of the
skill and to imagine that a woman
can learn in few weeks that a pro-
fessional has devoted years to. is
ridiculous. The amateur dressmaker,
nine times out of ten. follows a sys-
tenn of false economy. Because she

dollars by making 1t herself she

two well-made gowns would answer
her purpose and cost no more. A
good many girls use the "this-gown-
COSTUME only three-dollars'' bait but
they rarely fool man of observation
and experience. The average man
wears better clothes than the aver
age woman, although he dresses for
less. He knows a good looking and
well made garment when he sees it
and If he spoke his mind when
woman boasts "I made this myself"
he would reply, "And 1t looks it, The
girls who brag about making their
own frocks neglect to add that they
were so cross and nervous and dis
agreeable while they were making
them that their families couldn't live
with them. The man who has lived
with an amateur dressmaker and paid

High-Priced Cows.

1t takes considerable courage to pay
s20o or more for single COW and put
her in the barn with the idea of getting
the money back either in dairy pro-
ducts or calves. This is especially true
in the case of the young man or the
practical farmer whose means are some
what limited and who must look as
With the people whose dairy ventures
are largely matters of amusement and
entertainment several thousand dollars
would be spared more easily than sever
al hundred by the class of people first
mentioned. In all lines of business,
however, people admire the man who
has the nerve to follow his convictions
even though things do look unfavorable
for the time being. In the majority of
cases such man wins out and when
he does his returns will be large enough
to compensate many times for the
anxiety which he underwent in starting
his venture. The dairy COW that costs
at least 5000 should be sufficiently well
bred and sufficiently profitable as pro-
ducer to make her offspring valuable
and greatly in demand. If she is bred
right she will show profit at the pail
from the very start and her bull calves
should be worth anywhere from 800 up
as soon as they are old enough to ship.
The heifer calves will probably be SO
keenly valued that no price will be put
sell. without doubt the first heifer would
nearly pay the cost price of the cow
and the milk for a year would in the
majority of instances give you 1905 on
the cost of feed and care. A little fig
uring of this kind will convince anyone
that the really good dairy COW is
splendid investment even though it
does take some nerve to pay the
price. Kimball's Dairy Farmer.

SUGAR FACTORY
AT DELTA WILL
PAY BIG PROFIT
Pueblo chieftain ]

Pueblo ChieftRin.
What Delta county needs most at
present is beet sugar factory.
Nowhere in the west is there better
opening for such an industry. and the
capitalist who builds a factory at Delta
is sure to get big returns on his invest
ment.
Thousands of tons of sugar beets are
produced in Delta county each year,
and in size and saccharine quality they
cannot be excelled or even equaled by
those from any other section of the
west. One grower in Delta county
shipped 100 beets that weighed a ton,
for which he received So. Five cents
apiece for sugar beets makes the rails
ing of this crop immensely profitable.
The beets are now shipped to Grand
Junction where they are made into
sugar but if a factory We're erected in
the county the output would be greatly
enlarged and fully sufficient to supply
the material for full seasons cam
paign. 1t must always be remembered
that the output of the county is to be
more than doubled by the addition of
the land to be irrigated by the Gunnison
tunnel. A large part of the land to be
reclaimed in this way is especially
adapted to sugar beet culture, and un-
doubtedly will be used for that purpose.
1t is only question of short time
when such a factory will be built ut
Delta, and the first company on the
ground will be the one to reap the ben
eft. AS an opportunity for investment
it stands unequaled.

CATTLE
ON OPEN RANGE
DELTA COUNTY
lPpeblo chieftnin ]

tPucblo Chieftnin
Twenty thousand cattle Craze each
summer on the mesa lands north of
Delta and find there fine range
which puts them in prime condition for
the market in the fall. Among them
are herds of high grade Herefords
which have won prizes wherever they
were exhibited, and the stock as a
whole is as fine as any to be found on
any open range in the west. There is
an abundance of water and the CATTLE
men find the place almost ideal. West
of Delta is another large grazing
plateau on which thousands of head also
find sustenance.
During the winter the cattle are
brought from the mesa lands down into
the valley where they are sheltered
from storms and thus the cattleman
does not suffer the losses from this
cause that are experienced in other
parts of the country. The ranchman
also benefits, for he is able to dispose
of the hay he has stored up during the
summer, and he gets good prices for it.
Delta county pork. like all the rest
of the products of this district, is of
especially high quality. and the only
fault to be found with it is that the
farmers do not raise enough to supply
the demand. 1t has been found that
there is no better feed for hogs than
alfalfa, and that il gives delicious
flavor to the meat. besides being a
cheap provender. Fed on this and then
rounded out and hardened with grain.
Delta county hogs command the top
price in any market.

Mr.. w. P. Dale of Delta, president

you have been present on several occa-
sions, we look forward to a renewal of
acquaintance this year.
You are probably aware that Presi-
dent Taft will be present at the Fair,

the best showing we have ever had.
We therefore trust that you will be
present with your excellent exhibit as
in former years. and would also appre
ciate it very much if you will spre I'D

expected visit from President Taft.
On Wednesday afternoon the President
will review the great stock parade, and
be present at several of the races, and
also visit the different horticultural and
agricultural buildings with view to
getting a general idea of Colorado's
products. This. l believe. is the most
opportune time Colorado has ever had
of demonstrating to the East just what
we are doing, and we sincerely hope
that every department will be fully
represented.
