/. Since printing the item last week
regarding the alfalfa mill which Mr.
Hartig has bought. intended to
grind and mix alfalfa and sugar
beets for feed. we have had
several farmers comment upon the
machine as an advanced idea, and
express the belief that it would do
much for its users. Starr Nelson
and J. E. Moore are planning a joint
investment in a mill, and doubtless
many other farmers could find 1t
profitable to do likewise.
The Colorado & Southern is right
up to snuff in the matter of pro-
viding the highest type of equip
ment for its men. and at present
the company is installing motor
driven hand cars for use in place of
the old hand power cars. The Rio
Crande will probably be the next to
take up the improved type of car.

The board of county commission
ers' is having an excellent rock and
gravel wall put in on the north bank
of the Gunnison river from the North
Delta bridge to a point several hun
vIo hnv hn which
almost invariably gets the force of
flood waters in the spring and is
the cause of great damage to gar
dens, orchards, lawns and property
of the entire district. This work
now in hand. it is thought will
insure permanent protection from
all future floods and overflows,
the big North Delta bridge will take
no further chances of going out, as
1t has several times in the past.
Over in Montrose county hunt
ing contest by the fish and game
club Is now on, which, 1t Is said,
not only proves exciting for the
hunters, but Is very beneficial to the
farmers as well. The coyote Is the
game in this chase and all rural
residents are anxious to have them
slaughtered by the hundreds. When
the score between the two contrasting
teams was a tie 1t was decided to
extend the hunt until January LIST.
Each day reports are brought in of
one or more coyotes killed by the
different parties. The club Is divid-
ed into two parties and the sport
is becoming interesting.

was talking to one of our local
meat market men and said: Il have
more than 200 head of hogs on my
place now; / hope to put in an al
falfa feed grinding and mixing mill
soon and then l will be able to sup
ply fat pork to local markets any
old time" This looks like enter
prise of the right sort in the hog
raising business and this paper is
pleased to learn that there is even
one man in the community who has
engaged in the business of raising
pork in a country where heretofore
SO much has had to be shipped in
to supply local demand. In many
respects the country is supposed to
be ideal for raising hogs. and the
fact that many farmers have been
raising small punches successfully
indicates that we should have
large industry of pork production,
instead of on so small a scale.

did know that he was Catholic,
so he called up the priest and asked
him to come down and identify the

the reverend gentleman when he
saw who it was. He always was
mighty accommodating. 1t is no more
