Seeds by Carload

d. V. Burrell, the veteran scotsman,
on Saturday last shipped a carload of
cucumber seeds from his curing sheds
in this city. The big shipment was
consigned to a wholesale house in the
East, and it will be followed by many
more consignments, as the vine seeds
grown at Rocky Ford are always in de-
mand in this country and command the
highest prices of any on the market.
r. II. James is another Rocky Ford
seed distributor who will this week
make a carlot shipment of cucumber
seed to an Eastern wholesale dealer.

HEN SHOW WILL BE NEXT
Second Annual Poultry Show Will
be Held in This City De-
cember 1 to

The officers and members of the
Rocky Ford Poultry association are
making extensive plans for the sec
ond annual show which will be held
in this city from December | to 5.
The poultry industry in the vicin-
ity OF Rocky Ford has made large
gains during the past year and fig
ures recently compiled by Secretary
Wilson OF the association, show that
members of the local association own
5000 thoroughbred birds and that
932 aged birds were sold for breed
ing purposes during the year.
The baby chicks shipped from here
so far this year number 19.430 and
34,9l3 eggs for Matching were ship
ped out by the poultrymen. While
it is impossible to get the exact tig-
ures. fair average for these sales
show $3l,4S5 received by the mem
bers of the association.
There are owned by the association
members nineteen varieties of birds
and at the coming show there will be
on exhibition at least two varieties
that never before have been shown
in the state.
The incubator capacity owned by
the members is 1880 eggs. Re
Gently several members have gone in
to the capon branch of the business,
with the result that it is impossible
to supply the demand for the birds
and in another year this business
will assume large proportions.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Horse Falls on '.chance' Mcdonald
and Caves In His Ribs

Chauncey Mcdonald, the well-known
cattleman who has for some time been
in charge of Sheriff Yant's cattle ranch
on the Purgatoire, was the victim OF
an accident on Monday that will lay
him up for long time if indeed he is
ever able to get about again.
Early Monday morning "Chance"
had left the ranch house after horse
intending to ride to this city and take
out team that DR.. Keck had been
treating He caught the horse all right
and was on the way back to the house
when the animal fell and rolled over
MIN, fracturing the pelvic bone, break
ing three ribs and crushing his chest so
badly that he was unable to move with
out suffering intense agony.
| In this condition he lay out on the
prairie until O'Clock that evening,
when found by searchers who had been
summoned by the ranch housekeeper
about o'clock when she became
alarmed at his absence and on inquiry
learned that he had not appeared in
Rocky Ford.
On being informed Of his partners
plight Alex Yant made a hurried trip
to the ranch and making Mcdonald as
comfortable as possible in his auto took
him to the La Junta hospital, where
the doctors fixed him up as best they
could and at last reports he is recover
ing from his prolonged exposure to the
elements and has a pretty good chance
to pull thru.

To rleasure Seepa9e

The matter of underfow water has
become of such Importance in late
years as to engage the attention of the
Arkansas Valley Ditch association to
the extent that this body at recent
meeting authorized the employment of
a competent water engineer to deter
mine the amount of flow into the Ar
kansas river.
Acting upon this instruction the as
sociation has engaged the services of
5. w. Cressy of this city and he be-
gan work on Wednesday. Mr.. Cressy
will measure the seepage from this
point to the state line and expects to
spend several weeks on the job, so that
he may be able to make comprehen-
sive report to the ditch association.

PLAY WINNING FOOTBALL
Our Boys Were Victorious at Trini.
dad-Battle for Blood Here To-
morrow with Las Animas

Keeping up their record the Rocky
Ford high school football team went to
Trinidad last Saturday and left another
goose egg.
Reports of the game show that our
boys had their work cut out for them
and that the battle on the gridiron was
the prettiest exhibition that has been
seen this season.
That it was very close game may
be inferred from the following score:
Rocky Ford IL, Trinidad 0.
In the game tomorrow Saturday
afternoon between Las Animas and the
local squad there will be seen the best
and hardest fought match ever played
on the Rocky Ford grounds.
The Las Animas boys depend great
deal on their weight, by using it in line
plunges for their gains, while the local
boys rely on their speed in passes and
end runs.
The home boys are developing into a
very game and fast squad, and have for
the last couple of weeks been working
plays and to win the Southern Colorado
and Northern New Mexico champion
ship.
With the support of the school and
townspeople, as it should be given to a
winning team, our boys will surely win,
so everyone should turn out next Satur-
day and boost, and so help to walk off
with the football pennant-an honor the
Rocky Ford high school has never had.

DEATH ON MExiCANS
Coroner Is Kept Busy Look
ing After hombres

Coroner Thompson was called to La
death of a Mexican whose body had
been found near the Santa Fe bridge
west of that city.
At first it was supposed that the
man had been struck and killed by a
train, but when the body was taken to
the morgue it was disclosed that a
murder had been committed as eleven
knife wounds were found on the body.
/, In the pockets OF the dead mans
coat were several letters addressed to
Nicholas Cerdas, Castle Rock, Colo.
and one from his mother asked him to
get his brothers and come home to
Mexico.
AS three Mexicans-one of whom
was identified as the murdered man
had applied for rooms at La Junta
rooming house on Saturday night, but
left when they could not get the pro-
prietor to come down on the price, and
were later seen leaving town along the
railroad tracks, it is supposed that he
was on the way to Mexico with his
brothers when they set upon him and
killed him for his money, as only 10
cents was found on his person.
A search is being made for the other
two men, but so far no clue to their
whereabouts has been discovered.
The coroner was called to Cheraw on
Monday to investigate the sudden
death of l. Prieto, the Mexican pro-
prietor of chill parlor. He found
that pneumonia had been the cause OF
death, and so did not hold an inquest.
While engaged in cleaning his revol-
yer on Monday evening Mexican beet
harvester named Isobel Aroma pulled
the trigger on the supposedly empty
gun and shot himself in the breast.
DIR. Maier extracted the bullet, which
hae almost passed thro the hombre's
body, and believes that Aroma may
may survive.

THIRD AND LAST CHANGE
DowdelI & Anderson Buy the Bryant
Coal and Feed Business

On Saturday last another change took
place in the coal and feed business for
merly owned by George E. Bryant. and
this-the third change in as many weeks
is likely to prove permanent as the
new owners take over a lucrative bus
ness to which they will devote their
entire attention.
The new proprietors to whom Hauck
and Vaudeville disposed of the coal,
feed and water business, are Messrs
Lee Dowdell and Robert Anderson, both
of whom are so well known in Rocky
Ford that they do not require a lengthy
introduction by The Enterprise.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Tho country Is passing through the
third serious epidemic OF hog cholera
Of the past 30 years. according to the
department of agriculture. The first
period reached its climax in 1886 to
1887, when the loss amounted to
about 1874 per / 900 head in one year.
The second outbreak developed in
1894, and reached its climax in 1896
to 1897, when losses amounted to
144 per 1000 head. The present ex-
tensive epidemic Of hog cholera began
to be serious in 1911; during the ten
prior years the loss of swine ranged
from 45 to 5s per 1000 per year; in
1911 1t jumped to SO. then to ITO in
1912, and to 119 last year. about 30
per cent of which may be attributed
to cholera. 1t has thoroughly ravaged
the heart of the hog-producing belt
during the year Just past. In the
state of Iowa alone. losses amounted
to nearly 100000 swine, over a fourth
of the entire number in the state. In
many counties over half were lost.
and in some townships over nine
tenths.
The losses of swine from disease
are estimated by the department at
119 to every 1000 hogs in the country.
which exceeds last years heavy loss
Of ITO per 900. and the average year
ly loss in the preceding ten years of
$40 per 1000. Probably more than
90 per cent of the loss was from
cholera. The percentage Of loss ap-
piled to the estimated number OF hogs
on January 1 indicates a total loss Of
7.005.000 head. which. at 5000, the
value per head on January /, indi-
Gates a loss of s73.00o.00o. The aver
age weight of hog on the farm is
about $50 pounds. therefore more than
one billion pounds Of hog meat were
destroyed by disease. mostly cholera.

and since that time until year or so
ago he has conducted similar business
in Swink, and he is known as a pleas
ant courteous chap with whom it will
be pleasure to do business.
Bob Anderson is the son of Mrs. Mary
J. Anderson of this city and is a cred
liable product of the Rocky Ford schools
For nearly two years Bob has had the
management of the Trinchera Estate,
which owns vast tract of timber land
at LaVeta Pass. a box factory in Pueblo
etc. and has so ably filled his respon-
sible position that the Trinchera people
has offered him splendid increase in
salary to remain but he has turned it
down in order to go into business for
himself.
The Enterprise is pleased to welcome
these two families. and we bespeak for
Dowdell & Anderson a very successful

FORoER IN Tolls
Passed Spurious Checks on Swink
SaIoonmen

L. c. Mcdonald, a young man who
for the past summer had lived life
of ease and pleasure in this city with
apparently unlimited funds at his dis
posal, was arrested at the Best hotel
by Sheriff Yant on Monday.
At his preliminary hearing before
Judge Teter of La Junta the young
man pleaded guilty to the charge of
passing two checks-for S35 and S15
respectively-upon Fox G. Jones, the
Swink saloonkeepers, and being unable
to furnish bonds for $500 he will be a
tenant of the county Jail until the next
term of district court.

A billion pounds live weight produce
nearly 800.000.0O0 pounds OF dressed
meat and lard. This amount would be
sufficient to furnish every family OF
the United States taverage four and a
hal: persons) about 40 pounds. II
there had been no such loss. probably
increasing scarcity of meat would
have been largely prevented.
The losses of swine from disease
are usually heaviest in southern states
and lightest in northern states. Esti-
mates OF losses have been kept for
30 years. The states showing the
heaviest average yearly loss in these
30 years are. in their order, Arkansas.
119 per 1000; Louisiana, 110; Florida.
109: the states showing the lightest
losses are Maine. 10; Wyoming. 10;
New Hampshire. %. In Georgia the
average is "a. in Alabama and Missis-
sippi. each 80: in Texas. &C; whereas.
in New York the average is &c. in
Michigan. "a: in Minnesota, 46: in
North Dakota, 81, and in Washington
and Oregon. &c.
The epidemic has abated somewhat
In the past year, as compared with the
preceding year. in most southern
states, but has increased greatly in
the northern states. Thus. in Florida
the loss has decreased from 40 per
1000 in 1912 to $50 in 1913; in Geor-
gia. from 165 to 90; in Alabama. from
40 to 100; in Mississippi, from 15f
to 104; in Kentucky, from 95 to 90;
in Missouri. from ITS to 30; whereas
in Iowa the loss has increased from
100 per 1000 in 1912 to 255 per 1000
in 1913: in Minnesota. from 55 to 21E
in Nebraska, from 110 to 175: in Souel
Dakota, from So to 230, and in North
Dakota. from 20 to IS. The tendency
of the three er'demics appears to
have been. in a general way. to move
as a wave from South and East to
North and West.
