hew Absst Ysur SEED Osts


Last year was poor season for
oats IN Gunnison county Whether
1T was the climate or the seed is
question. Trying out the sand test
recommended by the agricultural
college the other day on some seed
oats | found only twenty-five per
cent sprouted This method is TO
take 100 grains as sample, put ia
moist sand in a plate, cover with an
other plate, and set in a warm place
for ten days At the end Of that
time count the sprouted seeds
These were splendid looking cats
well cleaned. Now. ! then tried a
sample from seed oats obtained from
local merchants in Gunnison, and
found seventy eight per cent sprout-
ed. Perhaps the difference was due
to the fact that our local oats gel
frosted Just enough 10 kill the seed
germs ! believe it will pay every
ranchmen to make this test on his
oats before planting in May IL will
make thousands Of dollars differ
ence in the crop Some fields Of
local oats may prove strong germin-
atlng Such are the ones to plant
IL certainly will not pay us to plant
oats that will not grow.

| In most OF the leading countries
Of the world there have been attempts
TO set up q social organisation
whose chief object 10 TO diapenss
with private ownership Of property
and TO place every man on an equal
financial basis with his fellows
This movement known as commun-
ism though wide spread in its in
fluence and supported by number Of
intelligent men and women has been
failure in most places where its
schemes have been tried The re-
suit is not surprising. however since
that which it is trying to overthrow
is the foundation of cur liberty and
happiness While small associations
of communists have lived and been
prosperous for time they have not
been lasting nor have they made
any real progress while they lived
The theory Of communism has
been well outlined by a number of
eminent philosophers, Plato's Re
public" is perhaps the oldest picture
Of the ideal conditions of the plan
Here all share equally the labors,
and the benefits derived from them
There is no individual ownership
and each person enjoys the same
privileges as another. Education in
every line is promoted and all hu-
man miserles are overcome Plato
brings out in this, social problems
which have not vet been solv ed
Thomas More's Utopia" is well
known as portraying an ideal gov
ernment In his community every
man must work So many hours
day for the good of all There is
religious liberation, administrator
of Justice, education for all, perfect
sanitary conditions. and equality in
every thing. The Prince Of
Machiavelli is ON the same princi-
Pile Chas Fourier has exerted more
influence over communists than
any other writer. He proposes a
mathematical system of social organ
ization in which industry is so divi-
ded that every man may work at
what suits him best; agriculture,
manufacture, commerce, art, science
education or government. Under
these conditions there will be moth
ing but pleasure in work Com
pcnsation will be the same for all
kinds of labor As a result of this
perfect organization and free CO.
operation of natures laws, every
thing is to be turned TO good use
and there will be no unhappiness.
/ The communists are dissatisfied
generally with social and economic
conditions about them. They de
neunce the evils Of society and the
poverty Of the poor beside the
wealth of the rich In the new
plan which they offer to take the
place Of the old one, there is TO be
education for rich and poor alike,
administration Of Justice in all cases.
free trade, and equal shares in work
and in pleasure. Under these in
/ Huences there will be no more strife
and selfshness and every one will be
happy They contend that educa-
tional. social, and peliticai reforms
I can never come without the whole of
communism. and that the distress
of the poorer class, especially in
England where the movement has
never gained ground, cannot be re-
heved until these ideal conditions
are realized. 1t has evidently not
occurred to them that the misery Of

Won the First Game

The Newport ball team defeated the
Cusick boys at the down river town
Sunday by score Of Z to 4. The game
was not very exciting. nor were there
any critical stages. Both teams showed
the lack of practice. Newport's contin-
gent showed up in fairly good shape,
and the prospects are that we will have
a good team. Foiles was in the box for
the locals, Schurch being out of town.
Louis Mars, who held down second base
for the locals, had finger badly it,
inred by hot grounder, and was forced
to retire from the game.
About 90 Newport people accom- panied
the team to Cusick, making the trip on
the steamer lone. The day was ideal
for river trip and the outing was very
ENJOYABLE.

Selecting the Brood Sow.

A breeder who knows his business
thus describes the desirable brood SOW
She should have forehead broad
between the eyes, throat clean and
trim, neck moderately thin, shoulders
smooth and deep, back wide and
straight, chest deep and wide, to pro-
vide ample room for the vital organs,
with we'll sprung ribs and deep body
all along.
There is general belief that long
bodied sows produce the most pigs,
but 1t is not always true. The only
way to know about the number Of
pigs is actual test, and those that have
snail filters can be made into pork.
When SOW turns out well. has a
good sized litter OF pigs and is In all
respects a good mother it is best to
keep her at least for several years.
And then il some OF her SOW pigs
show all the general good qualities
