CHANGES IN THE HORSES FOOD

There are few borsemen who have
not from dire experience learned that
sudden changes In a horses diet re.
suit disastrously. A change from oats
to corn, or from timothy to clover,
or blue stem to alfalfa, or even from
alfalfa to blue stem. often results in
Indigestion. with flatuIence or impac
ton. Even bran mash ON Saturday
night or Sunday morning frequently
produces securing, If the horse is
worked next day.
Several experiments quoted by DR.
Fred Smith, throw interesting light
oil this question. Five horses were
given four pounds of oats, and four
horses were given three pounds of
oats, and all nine were destroyed
about about four hours later. -Four OF
the number receiving four pounds had
digested from two to three pounds of
the grain. and three of those receiv-
ing four pounds had digested approx.
mately one and three-quarter pounds.
While the remaining one of the first
five had digested only twelve ounces
and the remaining one of the second
lot had digested none whatever.
OF these two horses the first had
not tasted oats for eighteen months,
but the second, while he had been
used to eating oats, was placed in
strange place for the experiment, and
was OF a very nervous temperament.
Number one illustrates the results of
change Of diet, and No. one shows
the results OF unusual surroundings on
nervous horse.
Further comment seems unneces.

The boys expect to have the line
completed by Sunday next.
The farmers of the upper end OF the
valley have been at work for several
days organizing a cooperative tele-
phone company preparatory to putting
in line and furnishing their own
service. They propose to include in
their company not only residents OF
The upper Mancos but also Thompson

COUNTY GRAND JURY

State Of Colorado,

To the Hon. Chas. A. pike, Judge of
the Sixth Judicial District of Colo

chuleta.
We, your grand Jury. duly empan.
eled In the above named county, beg
leave to report that we have faith
fully performed the duties required of
us as instructed by the court, and
that we have found FIVE (5) true bills,
herewith presented.
Many cases We're presented and in.
yestigated, which, we regret to say,
failed of an Indictment owing to an
insufficiency of evidence and lack
OF time on the part Of the grand jury
to obtain the same.
We feel that the result of these In
vesifgations make 1t incumbent upon
us to acknowledge with grateful APP
probation the valuable assistance rem.
dered ourselves and the people by the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
to whom all honor is due for their un-
selfish and effective services in a
movement for social and civic reform,
and TO them we concede all credit for
what has been accomplished and for
having made possible larger victory in
the future.
A non-partisan, nOn-sectarian organ

broad in scope, conscientious and yet
conservative, without favoritism and
yet without malice, seeking only the
common good and patiently bearing
the abuse OF those who do not under
stand them or wilfully misrepresent
them, doing their work without pa
rade and yet with the precision of ma
chinery, they ought to have the ear
nest support OF all good citizens In
every effort for the social and DO.

And yet, with all these facts con.
stantly before US, we, the grand Jurors,
with the remainder OF our sex of the
