was an automobile ride to a dairy.

alleged unsanitary milk. The
local slaughter house was ordered

DEFENDED The COURTS
President Taft Upholds Decisions
at Pocatello.

President Taft bitterly assailed
critics of the United States supreme
court at Pocatello, Oct. 6. IL love
courts and Judges" be said. "They
are my ideals on earth that typify
what we will meet afterwards IN
heaven under just God, and when a
court is doing its duty, to have 1t at :
tackled and its motives questioned
for mere political purposes, without
solid ground for attack, goes to my
heart and resent it with deep in
dignation." He referred to the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases as
"tw0 great decisions"
The president said the supreme
court often stood between US and
errors and to question the motives of
the court seems to him to clay an
axe At the root OF the tree OF our
civilizations" '.It is not for the
executive to say he will withhold
criminal prosecutions just to help
business" declared the president.
'Pr0secutions must go on and bust
ness must reform itself. We must
get back to competition. II that Is
impossible let Us get to Socialism,
Tor there is 40 way between"

UNCLE SANS HORSES.
First Government Experiment In De-
v%elopins an American Carriage
Horse Promises Success.

It is now a little over seven years
Slice Prof. w. l.. Carlyle and Eugene
H. Grub of the Colorado Board of
Agriculture went to Washington to
try and Induce the government to un-
dertake the work of breeding an
American carriage horse. The first
idea was to breed a high grade saddle
horse, which could also be utilized for
cavalry purposes. Secretary James
Wilson, however, thought that the car
riage horse was in most demand, and
Congress finally authorized al appro-
priation to commence the work and
the breeding station was opened at
Fort Collins. The plan was to de-
velop the Standard bred horse, itself
an American tyne. TO fill the require
ments. The Standard bred horse had
always been bred for speed and the
conformation and size so necessary in
a carriage horse was always disre-
garded, yet Notwithstanding this fact,
the government al able to gather to-
gether about fifty high class mares
of the type wanted and at the head
was placed the great stallion Cannon,
bred by the Nrst Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Governor Coleman of Missouri,

sold to Thomas H. lawson, the Bos-

N OF SCHUBERT.
Whatever the Great Composer Felt
Flowed Forth In Music.

whenever Schubert happened to turn
over the leaves of a volume of poetry
verses that pleased him would be
come clothed in melody They would
sing themselves in his mind with su

and rich in harmonies If paper hap
pened to be within reach the song
would at once be written down.
One July evening In 1876, after a
long walk. the composer strolled into
a beer garden and found n friend sit
ting at "a table with a volume of Shake
speare. Shubert picked up the book
and read the song in "~Cymbeline,

melody. with its accompaniment. as
we now have 1t instantly flashed upon
him. and he wrote It down on the spot
upon slaves hastily scrawled across

of the same evening he set to music
the drinking song In Antony and
Cleopatra" and the verses who Is

And all this exquisiteness came from
the son of u cook and poor mechanic
whose chief delight as a baby was to
pick out melodies on n rusty old piano
In his fathers shop and whose acme

HOGS IN THE WEST.

Probably the most profitable branch
of the live stock industry is that Of

situation, "but the trouble is we do
not understand how to feed them, All
over the eastern part of Colorado this
fall are farmers with pigs and moth

MRS. HEN AND HER HUSBAND.
Important P%ersonages In the Future
Prosperity of the Great West.

1t is only within the last few years
that the Western farmers ave oom-
menced to realize the Importance OF
the lowly hen and her husband IN the
great economic development OF the
West. Most farmers have usually
turned over the poultry end OF the
ranch to their women folks and
have regarded that part of the
as of very little importance. The es-
Enlistment of the National western
Poultry Show as a department OF ne
big annual show at Denver opened the
eyes of many to the Importance OF this
industry and the fact that good blood
counted in poultry breeding just the
same as in breeding horses and cattle.
As a direct result of this first big
show, farmers and stockmen from all
parts of the West carried home some
fancy bred chickens and results nave
been so satisfactory that there mas
been a universal demand that the
show be continued. The National
Western Poultry Show to be held IN
connection with the stock show at
Denver January lh-2O, Will De the
greatest exhibition of fine poultry
ever held west of the Missouri river.
Entries are being maze from all parts
of the West and the net result will
be an exhibition that will a mis-
show among the greatest national al.
fairs of the kind held in this country.
Judges of national reputation nave
been secured and the size of the show
will only be limited by the amount
of room at the disposal of the show
management.
This feature of the big winter show
in Denver is one of the most popular
to the farmers .ranchmen n
their wives. 1t provides an oppor-
tunity for them to secure some choice
red birds of whatever breed they
fancy and the results will be noticed
shortly in the increased production
and better quality of the poultry n
eggs produced in the West.

COLORADO CATTLE IN DEMAND.

1t is expected that fully 10000 fancy
Colorado feeder cattle will be sold to
eastern feeders during the coming
Denver Stock Show. The wonderful
record made by Colorado bred cattle
at the big shows in the East during
the past year has created a demand
that will be difficult to supply. The
Denver Stock Show has made Western
cattle famous and while they are
called Colorado" cattle, as a matter
Of fact Wyoming. New Mexico and
other Western states are sharing in
the reputation.

BATTLE WITH BROAD SWORDS.

One OF the spectacular features OF
the National Western Horse Show at
Denver January 1920, will be a broad
sword contest on horse back between
cavalrymen from Fort Russell. This
is a part of the regular drill of the
cavalry service. The men engaging
are protected with helmets and pads
and a wooden broad sword is used, but
beyond the fact that no blood ia
spilled, the contest is fully as excit.
ing as the real thing.
