ADVANTAGE OF
COW TESTING
Wide Difference In Product OF Animals
Shown by Trials Made at the
Nebraska Station

At the Nebraska experiment station
the different cows in the dairy herd
N,ro tested The result showed that
t.Cl5 is wide difference in the pro
cuIt OF the cows of the same breed
We will not mention the breed I'M
der the experiment but will leave
that matter as some might feel SEN
sitive who may be breeding the same

In the case mentioned IL was found
that enc COW gave 1859 pounds OF
milk during the period OF lactatioL
and tie mix tested 3 46 butter fat.
Another COW in the herd gave 1,797
pounds Of milk during the period of
Iactation which tested 2.S2 butter
fat.
In figuring on the cost OF produc.
ing, as an accurate account was kept
of all the food each COW consumed,
and the value of all the labor, be. |
slowed in caring for and feeding the |
animals, It was found that the first |
COW returned $4.l7 for each dollars
worth of feed she consumed. On the |
other hand, the COW that gave 1877 |
pounds Of milk only returned IS
cents for each dollars worth OF feed |
she consumed. Now. It does not re-
quire an expert in figuring to prove
the great value of testing the cows
IN the herd. This COW that only re-
turned 55 cents for the dollars worth
of feed she consumed Is not alone in
that kind of business. There are
by far too many cows kept that are
not paying for their food. Let dairy.

COLORADO INDUSTRIES
TO BE ADVERTISED

George w. Schneider, one. of the
best known mining engineers OF the
state has been appointed director in
charge Of the mining section of the
Colorado Industrial Exposition, to be
held i'm the New Grand Central Pal
ace, in New York City in November
of this year. This announcement is
made by the committee in charge
of this work for the mineral counties
of the state.
Mr.. Schneider was state mine in
spector for four years, from 1903 to
1907 and was in charge of the min
eral exhibits made by the state at
the st. Louis Exposition and at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition in Port
land, Ore. For the passed two years
he has held the chair of mining at
the State School of Mines, of which
school he lis graduate. He is also
member of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers.
Working under the direction of the
mining committee, Mr.. Schneider will
at once arrange to visit the chief
mineral counties of the state, and
explain to them the plan and pur-
poses OF the exposition. In this con-
nection there has also been issued
I,by the committee, circular wh' ch
in brief explains the purpose of the
exposition.
1t is the aim of the management
of the exposition, to have all, sec
tions and all industries of the state
represented. 1t is proposed to show
working models of the mines of the
state, and at the same time, tt
bring to the attention of eastern
capital the fact that Colorado's moun
tains are still unscratched as far as
the mineral wealth is concerned. A
day will be set aside. at the show
at which the chief engineers of the
east, those men upon whose reports
capital relies in the investment OF
it's funds-wdll be the guests of the
state. In this manner Colorado's re
sources will be brought to the atten
ton of the men who are interested
in a work of development of this

tunity here presented-the first evel

MoFFAT ROAD MUCH SHORTER

According to the survey of the Den
YER G. Salt Lake railroad, the dfstanc,
from Steamboat to Hayden is 25
miles, and from Hayden to Craig is
10 miles, says the Oak Creek Times.
Hayden is 239 miles from Denver by
rail. or one mile nearer than Buena
Vista, ON the Denver & Rio Grande.
Craig is only two miles farther than
Alamosa, via Veta pass, and is &c
miles nearer than by way of Salida
and Poncha pass. Craig, 254 miles
from Denver, is on the same range
line as New Castle, being directly
north of that town, which is 1913
miles from Denver by the d. & r.
G., and 301 miles by the Colorado
Midland
From Craig to the western bound
airy Of the state, the distance by
the Denver & Salt Lake survey is
a little less than 80 miles, making
that point about: $40 miles from Dem
YER. The station of Uta!ine on the
Rio Grande is 4S4 miles from Denver,
showing that the Mosfat road saves
a distance of over 144 miles in cross
ing the state of Colorado. Addition
al saving wdll be made between the
state line and Salt Lake City.

THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE

Tomorrow, throughout this grand
and glorious nation, will be celebrat-
ed the 18th anniversary of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independ
ence, when the United States re-
Great Britain. On this day, 1S7 years
ago, only the names of the president
and secretary were attached to this
memorable document, whose sigma
lures only were borne by the print
ed copies sent out. On Jmly 18th,
1776, congress passed a resolution
that it should be engrossed CHI parch-
ment, and on the I'd of August, 1t
was signed by SO members present.
The parchment with the original
signatures, was deposited with the
Department of State, when the gov
ernment was organized in 1888. In
1928, John Quincy Adams had a cop
per plate facsimile made, to give
copies to the signers and their heirs;

in 1894 it was definitely sealed up
in steel case to keep it from light

The beautifully eloquent wording
OF the Declaration comes in the final
clause:
"We, therefore, the representatives
of the United States of America, in
General Congress assembled, appeal
ing to the Supreme Judge of the
World for the rectitude of our iTten-

authority of the coed people of these
colonies are, and of a right ought
to be, Free and Independent States;
that they are absolved from the al
legiance of the British crown, and
that all political connection between
them and the State of Great Britain
is.and ought to be, totally dissolved;
and that, as free and Independent
states, they have full power to levy
war. conclude peace, contract aln
ances, establish commerce, and to
do all other acts and things whhch
Independent states may of right, do.

NEvADAVILLE BOY
A GREAT INVENTOR

Sundays Denver Post contained an
article of no little interest to Gilpin
county. 1t relates to the invention
OF a submarine boat, the inventor
of which lis an old NevadaviMe boy
John M. Cage:
THE California papers have been
telling lately a dramatic story which
had Its beginning in Denver several
years ago. 1t Is the tale of an in
; ventor John M. Cage, a young fel-
low still under thirty, who built
submarine boat that ecipses all 9th
ers gone before, boat that can stay
under water with its crew for sew
eral weeks, if necessary, and which
the other day, under governmental
supervision, went down in the Paci-
fic ocean off Long Beach and remain
ed there for thirty-six hours, beai.-
ing the record by half day, which
was held by the submarine vessel,
U. S. S. Octopus, which four years
ago, near Newport, remained under
water for twenty-four hours. During
the immersion of the Cage craft, the
wireless operator from under the sea
sent messages TO President Wilson,
to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, and
to Bryan, telling them, at various
times, OF the doings OF the submerg-
ed vessel and its crew. Thousands
of people watched the return of the
boat to the surface one afternoon
last week, at the expiration of the
thirty-six hours trial, and cheered lus
idly Cage and his six associates when
they showed up none the worse for
their curious experience. The gov
ernment, it is said, has accepted a
proposition from Cage that will make
the young inventor millionaire.
THE strange part of this is that
this wonderful submarine was first
built ais model, and the idea con-
ceived, here in this city-a mile in
the air, thousands of miles from the
sea, and by young fellow who had
never seen an ocean. Half dozen
years ago, Cage had an oifbce in
the very building where i am writing
this mention. He made a model and
tried hard to interest moneyed men
in this city in his Invention. He
took his little vessel up to the A.h-
leiic club, and in the big swimming
1 pool there, he showed just what he
could do. He made the little craft
twist and turn, duck and dive, and
just as long as he wished. He show
ed his plan of compressed air, which
made it possible for men to remain
indefinitely submerged, and proved
the submarines. Curious, wasn't it,
thai. all this should have been done
in mid The fact that a
prophet is not honored in his own
country was again demonstrated. Dem
ved' men declared it was fine, but
declined to go down info their peck
cts. So Cage, discouraged for time.
went to Los Angeles. There he sue
ceeded in financing the idea, and
built a hundred-ton vessel, which has
done even more than he claimed, and
which Will revolutionize the submar-
ine work of the world We can all
rejoice with the supreme success of
this Denver lad, and many of us can

could, declined haughtily to help him.
