MEASURING HAY

Measuring hay In the stack Is a
common method Of selling hay. but
the methods and rules used are very
varied Very little actual experiment
tai data has been obtained upon the
accuracy OF the different methods.
The United States department OF
farm management has made some ex-
periments and uses the following
method to find the cubic feet content
OF the stack:
Measure the length OF the stack.
then the width. then with a tape
measure over the stack from the
ground on one side to the ground on
the other side. tThis distance is called
the overl Multiply thewidth by the
over and this by 81 (thirty-one hun
dredths OF one). This will give you
the area Of tho cross section. Multi
ply this by the length and get total
cubic feet contents. The factor
81 is variable according to the
height. width and fuilness of the stack
and may he as low as - In low stacks
or as much as .3s in high stacks
The number OF cubic feet to allow
for one ton varies with the kind OF
hay and length OF time II has stood
In the stack, and is usually determ-
ined according to local custom.

A POULTRY SHOW
TALKED OF FOR CANON

Those Interested in poultry are try
ing to get enough interest worked up
In the Industry to form a poultry as
sociation and to hold a poultry show
some time In January.
A meeting OF all who raise poultry
has been called for Monday at 2 p m.
in the Horticultural room At the
court house.
This is a move in the right direc-
ton and as many as possible should
attend this meeting.
Anybody who pretends to raise good
stock probably knows that poultry
associations and poultry shows add
n good deal more to the value OF their
birds than they cost. These things
help to advertise and develop the bus
mess in community and create a de-
mand for first class stock.

MAIL CARRIERS HAD
HARDfTIME THURSDAY

Thursday was one OF the hardest
days ever experienced by the mail car
riers of Canon City postoffice in max
ing their deliveries. The snow in
many localities was unbroken and II
was only by heroic efforts on the
part Of the carries that the people
living away from the business por-
ton Of the town received their letters
and newspapers. At no time during
the day was there any abatement OF
the storm and the difficulty to both
man and beast in making the postal
rounds is more easily imagined than
described.
ID. II. Logan, who carries the mail
on Lincoln Park and Prospect
Heights, wore out two horses and
finished his route on foot; returning
to the postoffice at $50 o'clock in the
evening TO make his report. instead
OF at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon. as is
usually the case. j. c. Lawrence
found the precipitation so deep In
places along his route that the axle
OF his wagon dragged the snow up in
great masses under the bed OF the
vehicle. making IL almost impossible
to proceed. except at a snailS pace.
Mr.. Lawrence did not get north OF
Central avenue; the people living in
Park Center and Orchard Park being
cut OF from their mail ON account OF
the storm.
A. l.. Earl and Jesse jenkins, who
are also provided with wagons by the
postal officials for the delivery OF
mail. managed by a dint of hard labor
to get over their routes ON Thursday.
but they were late in getting through
with the task. But very little mall
came in from the east during the day:
otherwise its delivery would have
been impossible. The star route ser
vice was entirely put out OF business
by the snow storm and no mail Of any
kind was received here from the
mountain districts. Ben Mcclure left
here this morning with the mail for
Micanite. but considerable doubt Is ex-
pressed OF his ability TO get It

CASES AGAINST CHAS.

District Attorney Gilbert A. Walker
Thursday afternoon took steps TO nolle
the information filed with him by the
Nave McCord Mercantile company OF
Denver in which Chas. T. Smith was
charged in seven cases with embez-
element OF money while In its employ
as a travelling salesman. In filing his
reasons with the district clerk TO
have the cases against Mr.. Smith dis
issed Mr.. Walker appended the fol-
lowing written request from the Nave
Mccord company:
'Since We Instituted criminal pro-
ceedings again c. T. Smith we have
found that he had been allowing 10
customers while In our employ large
rebates and discounts. the aggregate
value OF which. as near AS we can
tell. about equals the amount Of his
aggregate shortage with US. At any
rate. II seems that he kept none of orr
money for his personal use. and the
matter Is rather case OF misunder-
standing In reference to discounts
than case of embezzlement. We now
feel that 1t is not matter for the
criminal courts. and we will be
pleased to have the criminal proceed
ings stopped"

NUISANCE WAS COMPLAINED on
BY SECRETARY OF NAVY.
Enlisted Men from Naval Barracks
Testify they Bought Liquor from
County Merchant-Law for License
to be Revoked when Whiskey is
Sold - Evidence i'm Hand Against
Another Merchant.

Beaufort, May 29.-One of the
blind tigers complained Of by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels as inter-
fering with the navy reformatory at
Port Royal was put out of business
by the county commissioner today
Under n law passed at the last session
Of the Legislature no merchantile
business can be conducted outside Of
an Incorporated town i'm the county
without u license from the board Of
county commissioners. The law makes
ii mandatory for the bOarA to re-
woke the license whenever it is shown
them that a holder of a license has
sold liquor.
Two enlisted men today swOre that
they had bought liquor from X. S.
Goetz, who keeps the largest store on
the island outside the Government
reservation, Goetz, who is said to be
an old offender, offered no evidence in
rebuttal. The revocation is to take
effect July Is, unless liquor is sold,
when the revocation will become i'm
mediately operative.
Evidence is in hand against anoth-
er stOrekeeper on the island, who will
be proceeded against shortly. This
latter case was handed by Dispensary
Constable E. +. Hammond, co-operat-
ing with Major Hatch the command
ing officer Of the naval station. This
constable is an appointee of the Gov
ernOr, who has appointed also one of
the enlisted men to assist
AT no time has there been criticism
here or on the part of the naval au-
thorities, SO far as can be learned, Of
the Governor. Secretary Daniels, it
seems, understood during his talk
with citizens here that the trouble
has been and is with local sentiment
acting on the juries. All that ha,
been said from Washington as TO the
necessity of cleaning up conditions
around the station outside the Gov
ernment's zone of authority has been
directed, it is believed, at local sen'i-
ment and officials
