LAMBS GOING UP
Dealers Predict that Prices will Con-
tinue to Rule Hlgh

Kansas City Stock Yards. March 10
Lambs gained 25 to 40 cents in value
last week, and sheep and yearlings
almost as much. and the week closed
without any signs of slump. To-day
the supply here is 10000 head, and the
market is 10 lower, in line with similar
declines at other markets. A string OF
the Standard Meat Company stuff from
Almena, Kan. sold at So. SO for lambs to-
day,wethers at Sc SO. ewes $3.50, which
which prices are 25 higher in each case
than offerings from the same feed lots
brought here last Monday. This stuff is
heavy weight. lambs "a pounds. ewes
loe pounds. and wethers l2e pounds
and the sales look high. Pea fed lambs
brought Ss. 20 here to-day, but otherwise
the lamb offerings were heavy weights
generally, and not qualified to reach an
extreme top. Dealers predict that while
the market may have its off weeks, as
general thing prices will rule very high
right along till the end Of the season for
fed stock,
South St. Josehp. No., March 10
Sheep receipts were around 5000 at st.

about steady. Top lambs sold at $3.50.

JAPS Want
POOL Halls
Would Compel City Officials
to Issue Licenses
PAPERS SERVED ON
MAYOR AND CLERK
Must Appear In District Court at
Pueblo on March ~ and
Answer Mandamus.

According to the summons serv-
ed upon Mayor Coffman and City
Clerk North on Tuesday these
gentlemen will have to appear be-
fore Judge Rizer in the district
court at Pueblo on Saturday,
March %, and then and there give
reasons why a mandamus asked
for by Thomas Hoffmire, counsel
for some Japs with unspellable
names, shall not be granted, COM
pelling, them as officials of the
city of Rocky Ford to grant the
said Japs licenses to conduct pool
halls within the confines Of Rocky
Ford.
In other words the Japs whose
applications for pool hall licenses
we're recently refused, propose to
get them by any means possible
and they have engaged the SER
vices of the versatile Pueblo attor-
ney toward that end.
The City ordinance governing
the granting of licenses specifcal-
ly states that "any license may be
refused, or after being allowed
may at any time be revoked at the
discretion of the city council, :"
and it would appear that this
gives the city officials discretion
ary powers as to whom they shall
grant permits to do business.
If the ordinance is legal and the
officials have this discretionary
power-as they surely should
there is little fear that Tommy,
the jap and his ilk will again be
able to break into the pool hall
business in Rocky Ford, even with
the valuable aid of Tom Hoffmire.

With The Seedmen

scription of some new grape that is
very, very much superior to the old
standard variety. This is probably
sold at from so cents to ST per plant.
If we try these grapes out, side by
side, in nine cases out of ten we will
find that the old standard variety is
hardy, prolific, of good quality and
desirable in ever yway, and that the
new high-priced plant is either ten
der, unproductive or of poor quality.
This is the history that repeats itself
every year. For if we care 10 inves-
tigate the matter we will find that
there are many varieties of every spe-
cies of ruit and vegetable being sold
constantly at high price that are in
a few years discarded and forgotten.
Another trick OF the trade is to
bring out some old standard variety
under a new description and a new
name, and sell at high price.
We do not wish to discourage the
trial of these novelties and new in
Productions, as we find some of them
desirable, and we believe that every
one who gardens for the love of the
work or cares to improve on present
conditions should try out in a, small
way those new varieties that seem
promising. if it be done in an expert
mental way rather than to depend
on them for standard crop.
One important fact in selecting the
seed for the garden should always be
borne in mind The market garden
err selects those varieties which be-
cause of high yielding qualities or ex-
treme earliness are desirable for the
market, but there are nearly always
better varieties which, though less
productive, are more desirable for the
kitchen garden because of better quail
ity. For instance, some OF our finest
Strawberries are well adapted to grow
to be used Immediately, but are abso-
lutely worthless as commercial varic-
ties because they are too soft to hold
up on the market or to stand ship
ment. The same may be ILLUSTRATED d
in cabbages. The Savoy" or "crink-
ly-leafed cabbage is of much more
delicate texture and much more de-
sirable for home use, but. this cabbage
will not sell for any more upon the
market nor will it keep or ship so
we'll as our common varieties: hence
it is good for the home garden but
not desirable in this country for gen
i eral market conditions.

Hobo Killed by Goa, Shower.

A young man about 20 years old was
found dead on the engine tender of the
$40 train on Monday night as the train
neared Swink.
According to the story told by the boy S
companions he, with negro and two
white hoboes had boarded the train at
Nepesta and had kept themselves con-
cealed in the tender until after the train
had left Rocky Ford, when the fireman
had released the air on the automatic
coal shower and allowed the ponderous
iron to rush back against the tender,
crushing the life out of the young fellow
who had hidden behind the huge iron
plate. Life was extinct when the engi-
neer applied the air and lifted the shower
in response to the plea of the colored
hobo that it was crushing man..
In little book on the young fellow
was the name Eddie Parker with a
street address in Granite City. ILL.,. but
whether this was his name and home ad-
dress has not been learned.
Coroner Wilson held an inquest on
Tuesday when a verdict OF accidental
death was returned.

Garden seed orders should soon be
sent to the seedsmen. 1t is poor pol
icy to delay the purchase of seeds un-
til planting time. First, because later
in the season work is too pressing to
take time to decide what is best to
get, and it is also essential that some
of our seeds be sown within the next
month or SO.
With all the reliable seed catalogs
coming to hand at this time of year
we can usually pick out a good selec-
ton of garden seed which will go
long way toward making our next
years garden activities success.
We should be careful not to let the
overdrawn pictures and descriptions
in the catalogs lead us to select lot
of untried novelties in the place OF
tried out, standard varieties that are
known to be satisfactory. 1t may be
that the writer is somewhat preju-
diced, but we have come to make
practice of throwing in the waste
basket all those catalogs that widely
overdraw the descriptions of plants
beyond what we know to be posi-
bilities. Another class of seedsmen
that we always, strike off our list are
those who offer something for moth
ing. We know that it is much cheap

seeds and get what we want than to
either buy seed at bargain lots or ac-
cept free seeds that are distributed
by the government. In either case
we are tempted to plant something
that we do not want, and that is in
the long run expensive and, to say
the least, unsatisfactory.
The best plan is to study our cat
alogs and decide between those re-
liable firms which have the varieties
of the different species of vegetables
and fruits which we think are best
adapted to our conditions. More
gardens come to grief through the
Encouragement of the gardener hav-
ing been led to try some startling
new discovery in varieties that are
being sold at high prices than in any
other way. The scheme of the un-
scrupulous and even the honest seeds
man, to make his best money, easy,
is each year to introduce some nov
city which may be sold two or three
times the price of the standard varie-
ties. For instance, you will find in a
nursery catalog Concord grape vines
sold at from 4 to 10 cents piece, de-
pendinq upon circumstances. In the
same catalog you will usually find a
lithograph picture and flowery de
