Hoas IN THE WEST.

Probably the most profitable branch
Of the. live stock industry is that OF
hog growing. The demand for hogs
always exceeds the supply and up to
the present. time the West. has been
able to produce but a small percentage
Of the pork needed for home consump-
ton and none at all for export. I'VE
can raise hogs all right" said Presi-
dent e. M. Ammons Of the National
Western Stock Show, discussing the
"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
ing to finish them on. In the noun
tain districts not enough attention has
been paid to this Important branch Of
the industry. We can grow roots,
barley and rye to perfection and With
plenty Of alfalfa 1t Is comparativ ely
simple matter to finish a crop Of hogs.
They can always be cashed in at the
market at good price and can raise
the mortgage In Colorado as well as
in Missouri" President Ammons ID

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

1t is now a little over seven years
siLce 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 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 an 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 type, to fill the require
meuts. The Standard bred horse had
always been bred for speed and the
conformation and size 70 necessary In
carriage horse was always disre-
garded, yet notwithstanding this fact.
the government was able to gather to.
gether about fifty high class mares

was placed the great stallion Cannon.

that would adapt himself quickly to

pearance. Cannon. though bred for
speed, had the qualifications to q
large degree. The mares selected
were largely Of the same type and

wanted.
For time there was considerable
discussion as to whether the expert

Mns. HEN AND HEn AvssAND.
lmportant psrsonapss In the Future
Prosperity Of the Great West.

1t Is only within the last few years
that the Western farmers have COM
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 ranch
as Of very little Importance. The es
Establishment Of the National. Western
Poultry Show as o department OF The
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 - in breeding horses and cattle.
Az q direct result OF this first big
show, farmers and stockmen from all
parts OF the West carried home some
fancy bred chickens and results have
been 80 satisfactory that there has
been . universal demand that the
show be continued. The National
Western Poultry Show to be held IN
connection with the stock show at
Denver January 1920, will be 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 rank this
show among the greatest national al.
fairs of the kind held In this country.
Judges of national reputation have
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 IL one OF the most popular
to the farmers and ranchmen and
their wives. It provides m oppor-
'tunity for them to secure some choice
bred birds of whatever breed they
fancy and the results will be noticed
shortly In the increased production
and better quality Of the poultry and
eggs produced in the West.

the STANDARD snsp HoasE.
An American Type That at Last VIII
De Recognizes In the show

At last the standard bred horse. one
Of the few types Of American live
stock In existence, is to be recognized
with classification In the show ring
at the Denver show In January. For
Years the educational Institutions have
protested against the standard bred
.rotter as not the horse to recommend
20 the American farmer. This pre-
Iudice was largely due to the fact that
the breed was principally regarded as
q race horse and while they were bred
by thousands Of American farmers al
most every breeder was busy watching
his colts for the development Of the
100000 trotter that all have hoped
.0r and 10 few have realized. But
there has been a class. or breeders
through the West who have con.
sistently bred this horse for utility.
The farmer not only wants . horse
to pillow and draw heavy loads, but he
wants 4 light horse that can take him
to town easily and quickly and -
matter Of fact this type Of horse has
grown to be one Of the most useful
and popular all over the country. Z
The action of the United States gov.

which to develop an American Gar
