The state auditor didn't appear n
his office last Saturday morning. And
The story that was going the rounds
Of the state house and which WAS
substanusted by several witnesses
8. as that Rhoady Kenehan was laid
~ Saturday rs the result Of fist
fight which he had Friday night with
Sam Grimsley. horseman from
Trinidad. Grimsiey Is we'll known In
La Junta.
The fight occurred Friday night
about $3.50. Grimsley and two other
horsemen from Trinidad. Z. }. Elliot
and c. q. Andrews, went In TO see the
auditor and make another demand
for money which has been owing
them since JahosJy fos horses sold
to the state military. All three men
have been In town for several days
attending the Investigation which
Kenehan has been conducting In the
effort to prove that some Of the
horses sold 10 the state are covered
by duplicate bills.
The fight started when Andrews
went In to zee Kenehan and with
mild profanity threatened to start
something unless the auditor gave
them their money.
Get out OF here" shouted kene-
han. You can't curse me In me own
Office
Just then Grimsley. who Is as big
as the blacksmith uditor. walked In
to the office. ''Oh. Is that So says
he. We'll. then I'll curse you" and
he let out some inelegant language.
Kenehan picked up the big seal Of
the state and started towards Grims-
ley. who met him with an upper cut
that nearly broke his nose He Was
beating Kenehan up In good shape
when Andrews and Elliott pulled
him off and finally got him out OF
the office.
The trouble between Kenehan and
the horseman started long time ago
" hen the auditor went TO Trinidad Ia
make Investigation and was roughly
handled on several occasions for his
language Ia accusing the horsemen
Of trying to graft from the state.
ouring the present investigation he

PREPARE STOCK FOR MARKET
Experience Has Shown That There 10
Moro Growth the First Year Than
Second-keep Pushing.

In preparing stock for the market,
too much stress cannot be laid upon
rapid development of the animal. Elk
%perience has shown that In proportion
to the food consumed by young ami.
mails, there is more growth the first
year than the second, and more the
second year than the third, and with
each increasing year the increase in
weight gets smaller In proportion to
the amount of food consumed, conse-
Quently 1t Is very essential that all
young animals be kept thrifty and
growing; especially is this true with
all animals intended for market. This
is e en in the production of baby beef.
which is n Of the most profitable
businesses to engage in. A quick
growth, and an early maturity, returns
the best profit among cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry. The intelligent
farmer, in preparing his stock for
market. should always bear in mind
the importance of pushing his stock
from the time they are born until
placed on the market. Every day
should see a gain in weight along the
lines of profit, yet at the same time
this crowding should not be overdone.
There is danger of injuring animals by
overlooking, especially when young. II,
however, the feed rations are properly
made. looking toward Just enough ana
not too little. or to much, good results
may be expected In the end.

TRYING SEASONS FOR cows
Something Required to Take Place Of
Pastures During Latter Part Of
Summer and Early Fall.

One Of the most trying seasons of
the year for the dairy COW is the lat
ter part of the summer and early fall.
At this season the pastures are often
short or dried up, and in such cases it
is a common mistake Of dairymen to
let their cows drop off in flow of milk
through lack of feed. Later they find
it impossible to restore the milk flow,
no matter how the cows are fed. Good
dairy practise demands that the milk
flow be maintained at a high level all
the time from parturition to drying of.
1t becomes necessary, therefore, to
supply some feed to take the place of
the grass. The easiest way to do this
is by means of silage. Silage is cheap
er and decidedly more convenient to
use than soiling crops.
The amount Of feed will depend
upon the condition Of the pastures,
varying all the way from ten pounds to
a full winter feed Of 40 pounds. 1t
should be remembered In this connec.
ton that silage contains a low per.
centage Of protein, so that the greater
the amount Of silage fed the greater
must be the amount of protein in the
supplementary feeds to balance the ra.
ton.

some and May Be EradIcated by
Good Rotation Systems.

Weeds may be classified in different
ways. One Of the most>useful classif1.
cations Is based on the length of time
the weeds live. This gives three class
es: Annual. biennial, and perennial.
An annual weed is one that starts
from the seed in the spring, develops
into a plant which flowers and seeds
the same year, and then dies; or, in
other words, an annual weed ia one
that lives but one growing season.
Most of VI weeds belong to this class.
A biennial weed is one that lives for
two years. The first year 1t starts
from the seed and develops a large
tap root below the ground and a do.
settle Of leaves above ground, but does
not flower or seed. The large tap root
is stored full of food which gives the
plant an early start the following
spring. From the center Of the ro-
settle Of leaves a stalk is sent up
which bears flowers and. later, seeds.
At the end Of the second year the
