Evil Of Idleness.

Work develops all the good there is
In man; idleness all the evil. Work
sharpens all his faculties and makes
him thrifty; idleness makes him lazy
and a spendthrift. Work surrounds
a man with those whose habits are
Industrious and honest; in such 80
ciety a weak man develops strength,
and strong man is made stronger
Idleness, on the other hand, is apt to
throw man into the company of men
whose object in life is usually the pur-
suit Of unwholesome and demoralizing

The calf should be allowed to take
the Hrst milk from its dam, as nature
requires this, and If her rules are vio-
lated, there will surely be trouble.
After the calf has once nursed. it
should be removed from its mother,
but fed its mothers milk for few
days. depending on the vigor OF the
calf. Commence to add skim milk
after a week or ten days, adding a
small amount at first and increasing
II daily until the calf is on an entire
skim milk diet.
There are a few simple rules to
follow In growing calves on skim milk.
The milk must be sweet; 1t must be
as warm as the mothers milk and
care must be exercised not to feed
too much of 1t. There are many more

calves injured by being fed too much
skim milk than there are by not hav.
ing enough. Four quarts at feed
twice per day is sufficient for the
average sized calf for the first month.
Add a spoonful of ground flaxseed to
each feed and teach the calf to eat a
little corn meal as soon as possible.
Corn Is the most economical food to
balance ration containing so much
skim milk.
At the Indiana experiment station,
in Bulletin No. AZ, record of work
Is given to show the relative cost OF
calves grown on skim milk and on
whole milk. The skim milk calves
cost less than four cents per pound
and the whole-milk calves cost ten
cents per pound, and the calves fed
skim milk make as good growth as
the ones fed whole milk.

with the local water users.
This move was made necessary un-
der the working of the new recla-

CoLORADo's BEET INDUSTRY
What the Sugar Beet Has Done For
the State and What We
Nav Expect.

Seventeen beet sugar foctories in
Colorado have passed prosperity
around" in the state this year by
paying s4,73s,000 more to the farm
ers for their beets than last year, and
more than s2,O0O.0O0 more to fac
tory and field labor than in 1911.
The output of sugar from the sew
enteen factories will be 1000 tons
more in 1872 than in 1911.
Sugar beet growers and the own
ers of the factories are alike jubilant
over the years results. The seven
teen factories are located as follows:
Great Western Sugar Company
Eaton, Greeley, Windsor, Fort Col
Inns, Loveland, Longmont. Sterling
Brush, Fort Morgan.
American Beet Sugar Company
Rocky Ford, Lamar, Las Animas.
Holly Sugar Comparatively and
Swink.
National Sugar Company--Sugar
City.
Western Sugar and Land Company
Grand Junction.
San Luis Valley Beet Sugar Com
pany-Monte Vista.
Officials of the Great Western
Company said that the beets we're of
higher percentage this year than ever
before, and that all indications
pointed to the sugar being of even a
higher grade than ever before.
There has been a big increase in la
Dor employed, with consequent
large increase in the distribution of
wages.
Sixty-three thousand acres more
were planted in sugar beets by the
Colorado farmers in 1912 than in
1911, and there is every indication
of larger acreage in 1913. The re-
turns have exceeded the anticipations
of the farmers.
Reports from all the factories in
the state show them running at full
capacity. and they will run longer
this year than ever before to care for
the enormous beet crop.
The following figures show at a
glance the years sugar beet indus

will suffice to cover all needs for the

HON. KEY PITTMAN ADDRESSED AN OVER
FLOW AUDIENCE LAST EVENING

( The great oil beds have slipped
| completely into the hands of a sing
lie great corporation; the uncovered
| coal beds have followed the forests,
the oil and other resources into the
| hands of monopolized ownership and
the water powers are rapidly going
the same way. To arrest the trend
and as far as possible save to the
people that which is left is possible
only through Democratic control of
all branches of the national govern
| ment.
Mr.. Pittman discussed the differ
ence between the two theories of
government, Progressive and Reac-
tionery He told those present last
evening that he would vote and work
for the placing on the free list of
every farming utility. which means
cheaper fencing, cheaper implements,
though not cheaper farm products by
any means. II the farmers of this
state arc benefsiaries Of high tar
if wall in a single respect Mr.. Pitt
man and majority of his audience
could not see it. He also discussed
extensively this states transporta-
tion facilities and called to mind
fact remembered by those who heard
him two years ago, that the COM
merce court is needless body, so far
as the people are concerned, being
useful only as means of delaying
justice and the usurpation of the
rights OF the people. He also cited
the fact that Nevada's interests,
represented by the commercial bod
les and the state railroad commission
petitioned it's delegation in congress
to vote for the abolition of the COM
merce court, in the face of which
Senator Massey voted for it's reten-
tion, a matter of record and for
which no excuse can be put forward,
civil service tenure not figuring in
the congressional appropriation bill
in any sense, though the bill in ques-
ton was specific in it's aim at the
commerce court which it sought to
nullify by emitting 1t from the ap-
preparations. Later when an at
tepmt was made by congress to pass
the bill over the presidents veto
Massey was again found aligned with
the standpatters and voted with
Taft.
Mr.. Pittman eulogized the reclama-
tion plan of the government and
committed himself to its further ex-
tension wherever possible. He
made specific reference to the men
of the arid west and said no indi-
vidual problem was too small or no
plant too remote TO receive his at
tention should he represent this
state in the upper house of the nat
ional lawmaking body.
Mr.. Pittman was we'll received in
Fallon and made a large number of
| friends by his manly and straight
forward talk. Paraphrasing the words
of his opponents, meet Pittman."
Better still, hear him talk, for If at
ter hearing him talk you are not his
friend then prejudice has the upper
hand of you and there is no sort of
political persuasion to which you are
amenable.
