murder charge. has been commuted
to from thirty years to life imprison-
ment In the state penitentiary.
Walter Irving. another Pueblo man.
has had the life sentence, imposed
against him by the District Court OF
that city, commuted to twelve years
in the state penitentiary.
The two cases were the only ones
in which the State Board Of Pardons
granted clemency at their meeting. The
board denied the applications OF
James Edwards, sentenced from Gar
field county to twenty to thirty years
for bank robbery; A. H. Schoettler,
Pueblo, sentenced to seven to eight
years for assault to rob. The board
did not consider the Frank Campbell
case. Campbell, former Denver police
man, has been sentenced to serve
from two to three years for voluntary
manslaughter.
Action will probably be taken at the
next meeting in the case of Lauro Gar
cia, sentenced from Larimer county, to
hang for murder, in case Garcia is not
able to obtain money to take the case
to the Supreme Court.

PREPARE ANIMALS
FOR BEST RETURNS
Most Common Mistake Among
Farmers Is in Selling Product
Only Half Finished.

II is astonishing to observe during
a visit to the stock yards how little
care most farmers take in condition
ing their animals for market. The
most common mistake Is made In
selling animals that are half finished
Fully 75 per cent of all the animals
sold reach the markets in an unfin'
tshed condition. This. more than any
thing else, is probably accountable
for the common belief that there is
no money in feeding livestock. Some
times stock is sold because grain is
high. At other times the available
supply of feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock is conditioned. but
more frequently perhaps. many feed
ers do not understand what we'll
conditioned means. With some feeders
It is a case Of going with the crowd.
No amount OF reasoning can over
come the influence of that old proverb
that a bird in the hand Is worth two
in the bush 1t is true unless man
is a good shot II he has judgment
and nerve he can Just as well bag
two birds at one shot as to miss the
one. II he has plenty of feed and
conveniences for handling his stock
he can finish out and not sacrifice 1t
in a poorly finished condition to save
a few bushels Of corn. Whether he
is feeding cattle, sheep. hogs or horses
II is the last few bushels OF feed
required to get them up to the proper
weight that brings the best returns.

Mulches OF all kinds are beneficial

Potted plants should be thoroughly

THE proof of the pudding Is In the
eating" and the proof OF success In
the poultry business is in the proht
made at selling time.
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set-or even before. SO as to know
what your aim is to be-whether ma
ture dressed poultry, birds for breed
ing, or frying chickens OF course 1t
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. If you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding. it may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. II you find
a good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
good prices-you might do your best
work in raising some kind of early
maturing fowls that will mako a
pound and a half at six weeks or two
months old.
If you intend to sell dressed poultry.
1t is usually best to choose a breed
having yellow legs and light-colored
feathers, as they look nicer than the
black-legged. black-colored varieties.
The meat is not a bit better. but you
i know it's looks that count when a
buyer comes into market
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the roosters. they should be sep
arated, and unless you expect to sell
them for breeding, the surplus males
should be fattened and disposed of as
early as possible.
II you want to hurry them onto the
market. one of the very best plans is
that known as the crate-feeding meth
cd. Take some stats about an inch
and a half wide-lath will do very
nicely-and make a coop with fiat
top and slat bottom, about Is
inches wide. the same in height, and
long enough to accommodate the num-
ber of fowls you have to fatten. Al
low about six inches in length to each
bird. Divide your crate into sections
that will hold four or five fowls each.
Set 1t up on trestle-a couple of saw
horses make good supports-so the
droppings will fall through the slat
bottom and not soil the COOP
Now make V-shaped trough the
same length as your coop. This is
used for both feed and water. The
feed should consist of Underground
oats mixed to stiff batter with skim.
milk or buttermjlk. preferably the lat
ter. Feed this mixture three times a
day, but do not let 1t stand In the
troughs. Give them ample time. say
half an hour. to eat all they want. and
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1913-09-26

then If any is left. clean out the
trough well and fill with cool, fresh
water. This should be left before
them until next feeding time.
A cup of grit should be fastened
where they can get at it all the time.
little green stuff and mixed with
the feed is a good appetizer. but not
Indispensable.
Two weeks in a coop like this will
nearly double the weight of thrifty
bird. Even the culls and "runts" can
be brought to very satisfactory mar
ket stage in a few days. For old
hens, such as every flock should be
cleared of once year. 1t Is the best
possible plan to get them into shape
for selling. The flesh of crate-fatten-
ed fowls is white and tender. not hav-
ing been toughened by exercise. Then,
too, there is the satisfaction of know
ing that only clean, wholesome food
has been eaten. To fastidious per-
son this makes a great difference.
Probably the best way to market
poultry. for the average boy who has
a small flock, is to work up trade
among customers. This can easily be
done where the same plan has been
followed in selling eggs. II he has
kept his eggs up to a high standard.
the buyer reasons that his chickens
will be SO as well. Even on the
start he can demand. and get a price
| that is much above the ordinary mar
ket stock, provided. always. that he
sets and keeps a high quality as his
| standard.
Birds that are to be kept for sale
as breeders should never be allowed
to become fat. They should be kept
in good order, in clean, attractive
quarters. and always where they can
Be shown to prospective customers.
at a moments notice. The finest bird
in a dirty. bad-smelling coop will not
show to good advantage. and will not
sell as quickly as an ordinary one In
attractive surroundings. Birds hav-
ing white plumage should be kept
| where they can be kept clean. other
wise they will not show for what they
are.
Sell your roosters early. keep the
pullets to increase your flock. and get
rid of your old hens as soon as you
are through with them for sitters and
mothers. Never sell BIRD for breed
| ing purposes unless 1t is first class.
