NOTES AND QUERIES.

In keeping cows never be without
clover. 1t is one of the foods essen
tial to good dairying.
In feeding a milch cow corn ra-
ton, reduce the ration at first in
dication of fattening.
Keep dairy cattle in room or build
ing by themselves. 1t is preferable to
have no cellar below and no storage
loft above.
The COW that gives fifteen quarts
every milking, and kicks over the pail
as she is being stripped, is like a
good many people whose good inten-
tions and virtues are spoined by one
mean trait.
Many horse that is thin would
winter and be fat on hay alone if his
teeth were in good order. Lead him
into the sunshine, open his mouth by
the sides of the tongue, and the
checks. If sore or lacerated, the teeth
have grown sharp and need filing
smooth. This is short job and ought
to be attended to.
Wheat bran, being bulky, makes a
good medium in which to feed oil or
cotton-seed- There is little dan
ger in feeding such heavy foods if
succulent food of some kind is pro-
vided at the same time. Much of the
trouble caused by feeding hogs cot
tonseed-meal may be avoided by mix
ing the meal with corn chop and bran
or cut clover hay.
To keep milk over night and have
it in good condition when taken to
the creamery, every possible care
should be taken to get the milk into
the milk house clean; then cool quick
ly in a clean place. Some folks set
their milk in the cellar over night.
This is mistake, unless the milk
is surrounded by cold water, and even
then not enough fresh air gets into
the average cellar to make 1t fit
place for milk.

THE MEN OF THEIR CHOICE

1t is only fair to emphasize the fact
that President Bush of the Missouri
Pacific Railway company ordered that
the men in the employ Of his COM
pany should be given half holiday
on the 5th, so that they might have
plenty Of time to attend to the duty Of
voting.
They were released from their du-
ties in order, as an official order ran,
ito enable them TO exercise the privi-
lege of American citizenship and vote
for the men of their choice"
There was time when the railroads
were supposed to exert an improper
influence upon their employees in the
matter of elections. Perhaps it is
safe to believe that a minimum OF
such influence ever existed. Never
tbeless, it may serve the ends of JUS
ticc to give full publicity to the step
which was taken in st. Louis Tuesday
by the president of a great railroad

THE STEEL BARON ETER.

The condition of the steel market if'
always regarded in financial circles 8, 4
the barometer OF business conditions
in the United States. A good. brisk
demand for steel is indicative of good
times. When steel is not in demand
construction work is at low ebb.
The untitled tonnage of the United
States Steel corporation for the month
ending Oct. 81, 1912, was 7,594,3
tons, new high record for the big
corporation. The untitled tonnage for
the same month in 1911 was 1904, 1923,
less than half the amount at the
present time. For September Of the
present year it was 6,55i ,507 tons.
Ergo, the country is enjoying high
wave of prosperity. If any further
proof were necessary than the every
day hustle and hustle we see on all
sides, it is found in the United States
impossible for the manufacturers of
steel to supply the demand, it means
that there is an immense amount of
construction work under way and
projected; and when the supply falls
short Of the demand by such an enor-
nous figure as 7,594,32S tons, there
is no other way of figuring than that
times are exceptionally good and will
continue to be good for long time to
come.
This reasoning is based on the sup
position that as fast as the orders are
filed the steel will be used in build
ing railroads, big buildings and in
other construction enterprises that
will place millions upon millions of
dollars in circulation throughout the
country. This is the condition now.
Will Democracy continue the same
conditions.

GAMBLING
CLOSED IN
TRINIDAD

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov. 13.-The
lid was clamped down tight on public
gambling at midnight, when every
gambling house in the city drew the
covers over the tables and machines
and the doors were closed Every
roulette wheel, faro table and slot
machine was stored away. Some of
the joints closed earlier in the day
and several dray wagons passed
through the city conveying gambling
tables and paraphernalia to storage.
The exodus Of gamblers has already
begun. All is an aftermath of the
election of Tuesday, which resulted
in the election of A. w. McHendrie
and ]. j. Hendricks, fusion Judge and
district attorney, respectively. 1t
records the end of crusade against
public gambling started more than
two years ago, and as the result of
which ninety different individuals
were recently indicted
Forty or more cases are still pend
ing on the docket of the district court
and as many more are pending on the
docket of the county court and are set
for trial in December.
This is thought to be the death knell
of public gambling in Las Animas
county, which has practically uninter-
rupted since this place was established
as trading post in Kit Carson's
time in the early SOS.
The first genuine effort to end gam
bling was made by a committee OF
citizens eighteen months ago when
sixty-five separate informations were
filed against as many saloon men and
gamblers of Trinidad. Each of these
defendants were fined 800 and costs
by Judge Henry Hunter in the dis
trict court in July, 1911, and for q
period of three months the lid was on

TO TRY WOMAN FOR
MURDER OF LONG AGO

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. Witness
es are being rounded up and other
preparations concluded for the trial
of Mrs. Elsie Hobbs Raymond, which
is scheduled to begin in the Kennebec
county court here next Monday. Mrs.
Raymond is to be tried on charge of
numbering Matte Hackett, the mys-
terry of whose death has remained
unsolved for more than seven years.
The murder was so mysterious and
atrocious that it reused the whole
state of Maine.
Matte Hackett was the young
daughter of Levi Hackett of the town
of Readfeld She was known to ev-
eryone in the rural community where
she lived and was about to become a
bride. 1t was just after supper time
on the evening of Aug. II, 1908, that
Mr.. Hackett asked his daughter to
get some food for a young tramp who
had asked for supper and nights
lodging. Matte Hackett was wip-
ing the dishes.
The father and the tramp started
out to the barn to feed the cattle,
leaving the daughter to get the
tramp's meal. The other members of
the Hackett family were spending the
evening at neighboring farm house
down the road.
The supposition is that soon after
the father and the tramp left for the
barn the young woman was called
from her home by some person and
accompanied that person to point
about 100 yards from the door. On
the return from the barn Mr.. Hackett
and the tramp heard an outcry and
Fastening to the spot found the young
woman strangling. They carried her
to the house and summoned aid.
1t was several moments before a
cord was discovered drawn tightly
about Miss Hackett's neck and it was
found she was dead. Farmers beat
the bushes and cornfields about the
Hackett home for several days in
vain effort to find the persons who
were supposed to have committed the
crime. The young tramp was never
accused of having any share in plan
ming or carrying out the murder al
though he was held in the local jail
for several days as a witness.
Suspicion soon fell upon Mrs. Ray

intendent of power for the Arkansas
Valley Light and Power company, and
in which Mrs. Caster was riding as a
passenger, crashed into a trolley pole
yesterday afternoon, almost throwing
the occupants out on the pavement.
Mrs. Caster was slightly injured about
the face. The car suffered shatter-
ed rear wheel.
Caster explained that he turned out
of the car tracks to avoid running
down woman who was crossing the
street between the cross streets, and
who would have been struck by a
trolley car otherwise. The pavement
had been freshly sprinkled causing
the car to skid and brought it up
against the curb with violent force.

LAND OPEN
TO ENTRY

One hundred and thirty-six thousand
acres Of the finest farming land in the
southwest has been thrown open for
settlement on the Fort Lewis mesa.
Hundreds of prospective settlers have
been anxiously awaiting this import
ant announcement.
The land is known as the Bloodgood
segregated group and was withdrawn
from entries on April II, 1911. The
state has just made an unconditional
relinouishment on it and now those
who wished to take up either home
stead or desert claims will have one
of the finest opportunities ever pre-
sented.
Many of the homeseekers from the
outside have gone over this terri
tory on their land seeking expeditions
in this section and decided to make
their entries when the land was
thrown open for settlement, rather
than invest in improved real estate.
With people of this sort ard their IN
fluence we may expect an influx OF
new residents of the most desirable
sort.

The effect of the reply is distinctly
