Colorado. Returns are as yet
incomplete, but the indications
are that the entire state has been
given over to the Democrats for
another two years.
True to their threats of six
mouths ago that they would either
control the Republican party or
defeat it, the Progressives have
made good, and have defeated the
party from one end of the state to
the other. However in dragging
the Republican party down to
defeat the Progressives fell first
and the Republicans lit on top
with much greater vote in the
state than they polled.
The indications are that the
next legislature will stand 65
Democrats, "a Republicans and
one Progressive. The Progressive
comes from Mesa county,
But little has been heard of the
results upon the several amend
ments, but it is known that the state
wide prohibition bill has been de-
feated and it is reported that the
Moffat tunnel bill was carried.

ANOTHER COAL DISCOVERY
Big Vein Reported Uncovered Near
This CITY,

AS is usual about this time of year
when the nights are becoming chilly
and the furnaces need replenishing
quite frequently. fairy story some
thing like the following from the Pu-
eblo Chieftain OF Tuesday, bobs up
but the trouble is that there's more
smoke than anything else to this coal
and we still have to depend upon the
Canon City product-though it comes
high. Here's the story OF the fuel
right at our door:
"A vein OF coal has been discovered
few miles south of Rocky Ford
which will in time become valuable
A surface cropping about four rods
square has been uncovered, and drill
ings that have been made show that
there is considerable depth to the
vein The coal seems like Ignite coal
that is found in the Dakotas. but
burns well with little gas and very
little smoke. 1t is so far from the
railroad that it will not pay to put in
on the market at the present time
but as there is a branch of the Santa
Fe running through that part OF the
county it is believed that, should there
be sufficient quantity OF coal found
the branch will be tapped and line
run to the mine. Within a few years.
several small surface groupings have
been discovered in Otero county. but
this is said to be the largest and most
valuable of the lot

Rural School Visitor.

Two years ago at the annual meet
ing of the county superintendent
held at Grand Junction. resolution
was passed unanimously favoring an
appropriation for rural school Wis
itor at the State Agricultural College.
Provisions for carrying out this reso-
luton were made by the Eighteenth
General Assembly, and the executive
committee OF the State Board of Ag-
riculture has employed Superintend-
ent c. G. Sargent of Mesa county
for this important work.
For a month or six weeks. Mr.. Sar-
gent will have his headquarters at
Grand Junction, after that at the Ag-
ricultural College. In taking up this
important work for the rural schools.
it is not the desire OF the State Board
OF Agriculture or the faculty at the
college to in any way interfere with
the work OF county superintendents,
but to cooperate with them in a
strong effort to strengthen the rural
schools. 1t is our desire to work
through the county superintendents
and with such teachers as they recon-
hShu anu dioilS SUCH iiiISS d. iiSei
their approval.
Mr.. Sargent brings to his work a
great deal OF experience. He has been
intimately connected with what we
may call the rural problem. He has
made a very comprehensive study OF
the work done in other states and is
intimately acquainted with what has
been done in the state Back OF him
will be all the facilities of the college
and it will be our aim to help each
school solve its own problems and
make it of greater service to its COM
munity.
Mr.. Sargent will give his attention
especially to vocational training and
will assist in the introduction of Agri-
culture. Domestic Science and Man
ual Training. but wherever the COL
lege, through him. can assist in beau
tyfying the school grounds, in pro-
noting play ground movements. and
social activities that aim to better the
conditions of the community. it is
ready to do so.

SERIOUSLY BURNED
Mrs. PressnaIi and Little Daughter
Dangerously Injured

While playing around a fire Of leaves
and rubbish that her little brother had
started IN the yard of their home on
North Tenth street about five o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon. the three-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs, E. E. Pressnall
had her clothing gnited by the flames and
was badly burned.
Hearing the little one scream Mrs.
Pressnall rushed to the rescue and beat
the flames out with her bare hands. but
not before the outer clothing had been
burned almost completely off the little
one and the mother had one hand almost
literally cooked.
At last accounts both victims of the
flames were believed to have passed the
danger point and will eventually recover
from their injuries.

Big sugar Beet

What is believed to be the largest
sugar beet ever grown in the ArkaD-
sas valley. and perhaps in the entire
country, was brought to Pueblo this
week by Mrs. f. X. Himel from the
H. T. Frazier ranch ten miles east
of Pueblo. The size of the prize SUI
gar producer may be gained from the
following specifications:
Length, a7H inches.
Circumference. rs inches.
Weight. 10 IL pounds.
According to old-time beet grow
ers of the valley, the specimen is not
only the biggest that they have seen,
but also the finest in quality. The
meat OF the beet is as firm as in the
smaller ones, and it is said that the
entire field of 800 acres ranged ex-
ceedingly large. although the one
brought to the city was the biggest OF
the lot.
An effort is being made to have the
beet preserved and placed on display
in the Commerce club rooms.

A report on the estate was filed in
the Office OF the state treasurer Thurs

He said that opposition from the
trustees might be encountered when
the state attempted to collect the tax.
The trustees, according to Collins. OBJ

stock of the estate at its face value.
$a43,ooo. They contended that since
this stock was secured by notes which
were also included in the appraise-

AT first it was feared that none of
the estate would be available for tax
alton because of what was consider
ed peculiar feature of the Swink

cally turned over his entire estate to
his trustees to use in executing the
contracts then uncompleted for the

Although regretting the signal
defeat suffered by the Republican
party the loyal followers of our
gallant leaders slogan-"Protect-
ion and Prosperity"-have moth
ing with which to reproach them
selves. They have fought a gall
ant fight for their party and its
principles. and are ready to "take

Taft. who has issued the following
statement:
"The returns insure the election oi
Governor Wilson to the presidency. This
means an early change in the economic
policy Of the government in reference tc
the tariff. II this change can be made
without halting prosperity. sincerely hope
it may be.

standards and pladge anew their faith in
their party's principles and to organize
again to defend the constitutional govern

citizens. accept the result with entire
good humor and contentment. As for the
Progressive cause. can only repeat what
| have already so many times said: the
fate of the leader for the time being is Of
little consequences. but the cause itself
must in the end triumph. for its triumph

sary to produce crop that is salts
factory and profitable.
An Arkansas valley farmer has for
several years been making con-
spicuous success of beet fed hogs.
Inc hogs are run on the alfalfa until
September when they are put on a
beet diet. This for the old ones lasts
until the holidays when they are put
on corn and shorts for finishing
period OF five weeks. The younger
zones are kept on bcets until Febru-
ary and then they. too, get corn and
slop of shorts for six weeks. Look
ing at the finacial side. we find that
a ten acre beet field made about 100
tons. He fed $40 bushels of corn
and 500 worth OF shorts: all this out
side OF alfalfa pasture. The actual
cash outlay was SIa5 for beets, $3.50
for corn and 500 for shorts. In re-
turn for these and his labor he net
ted. above freight and commission,
". 900 on the fifty-three shoats. Even
taking the beets at their market value
OF. $500 he still has good thing on
beet feeding and giving beets their
$3o an acre labor value we find his
labor and alfalfa patch cleaned up
$r.i26, A neighboring farmer fed his
hogs on beet tops. They looked fin
ished, but the buyer on shipping
found himself close to the hole be-
cause of heavy shrinkage. The fifty
three old hogs. weighing 900 pounds
apiece on travelling over 200 miles
keeps i'll good condition on beets, but
the flesh has to be firmed by a finish
ing diet OF corn or blue barley.
AZ tral II
what a home market means, a well
known farmer sold to local packing
house October delivery fifty head OF
hogs for which he was paid a little
more than $1,000. The hogs averaged
a trifle over $50 pounds each and the
price paid was eight cents a pound.
A shipment of carload of western
hogs. barley and alfalfa fed. topped
the Chicago market early last spring
and created furore among the rails
ers OF corn fed hogs of the middle
west but they sold for only sos per
cwt. 1t will be interesting to farm
c1s everywhere to know that the for
mer hogs had the range of an alfal-
ia field during the summer and were
penncd only forty days during which
time they ate mixed ration of su-
gar beet syrup. ground wheat and SUI
gar beets. using 100 pounds of syr-
up and +4+ pounds OF ground or
cracked wheat to which was added
$50 pounds OF water, making total
OF 500 pounds which with 500 pounds
of raw sugar bccts separately COM
priscd the daily ration for the fifty
head of hogs. After the first twenty
days the hogs gained two and half
pounds a day in weight. The total
cost of the ration was S6.44 day.
while the gain figured on the price at
which they were subsequently sold
amounted to $40 day. In other
words this farmer for a period OF
twenty days was making net profit
of $3.50 day over and above the
market price OF feed which was as
follows: Sugar beet syrup. $40 a ton;
soft wheat. sixty cents bushel at
the farm; and sugar beets at SO a ton.
