G. W. Ectop. Colorado's greatesthorse
buyer. has just returned from trip to
Oregon and Idaho, where he has been
buying horses to ship to the war zone in
Europe. He found desirable horses rather
scarce in that section of Uncle Sans
domain. but says he spent about
$4,000 for horse flesh while he was
away. and gathered up total of 1863
head. During the months of January and
February he spent Sl5o.ooo buying
horses to ship to the war zone inEurope.
and over 100000 of this amount was
paid out to owners of horse flesh in the
Arkansas valley. Mr.. Ecton says his
commission to buy horses will expire on
June st, and that the var will come to
an end before July lst.-La Junta

Best Own a Farm

The farmer who owns farm is the
particular person who is fixed. Banks
may fail and factories close, workmen
strike and mines suspend, merchants
fail and towns burn, times may be pam
iky and even crops may be short but
the farmer who ownes his acres will
get along all right. He will live in
comfort and quiet with plenty to eat,
drink and wear. He is the most inde-
pendent man on earth. Yet there are
lots of them who do not appreciate their
situation.

Farm Costs and How to Keep Them

The cost of growing an acre of alfalfa,
or beets, or corn, is something of which
nearly every farmer is ignorant. For the
benefit of those who desire to know this
cost, but. do not feel able to take the time
and money necessary for computing such
a cost, the Experiment Station has issued
bulletin entitled Farm Costs on the
Colorado Agricultural College Farm" In
making everyone Of these experiments,
an effort was made to work them out as
nearly under the rules of the ordinary
farm as possible. Among other tables are
shown the man and horse labor for
irrigating corn and irrigating oats
and a comparison of these tables
shows that it costs " cents a ton per
man per hour to irrigate corn. while it
only costs l 4 cents per man per hour
per bushel to irrigate oats. A number
of other interesting tables similar to
this are worked out in the bulletin. This
bulletin may be secured by writing to the
Experiment Station at Fort Collins, Colo.

SWITZERLAND BUSINESS
PRACTICALLY NORMAL
Legation Here Announces Hotels
Are Open and Railroad Earn
ings on Up Grade.

| Business conditions in Switzerland are
practically normal again and there is an
abundant supply of foodstuffs in the
| country, according to a statement issued
today by the Swiss legation. which says:
| During the last few weeks general
| business conditions in Switzerland have
shown marked improvement. The coun-
try has been slowly but steadily recov-
ering from the depression which resulted
from the war.
While the whole army had been
modified at the outbreak of hostilities
the swiss federal council found it possible
to demobilize about half the forces with
the advent Of winter
| 1.-The general industrial activity suf-
fered therefore only brief Interrupt
ton. and all the Swiss factories are not
only active, but their output has great
" increased during the last few
months.
TT there ever existed any anxiety
about the food question the same has
proven entirely unnecessary. The coun-
try has an abundant supply of food
stuffs Of every description, and the
cost of living has by no means in
creased.
Hotels Reduce Rates.
That the conditions in Switzerland
are normal is Furthermore illustrated
| by the fact that practically all the
hotels are open, and that these estab-
| lishments have actually announced a
reduction of their rates.
| las further proof of improving
conditions in Switzerland. it may be
pointed out that the Swiss government
railroads earnings have lately again
| reached a mark not far below that of
previous years.
| while Switzerland offers at present
| a temporary home to thousands of un-
| fortunate refugees, a great number of
| wealthy families from the warning
| nations are also making their resi-
| dence there.
| Many Americans have lately asked
| whether it is possible to visit Switzer-
land in spite of the war. The answe r
to this is that visitors will be as well
come as ever In that country.
Swiss Buying Here.
| "Since the outbreak of the war the
Swiss government. who used to be a
good client of several of the warning
nations, has been heavily buying food
stuffs and raw materials in the United
Estates, and it goes without saying that
these commercial transactions will do
much to further develop relations of
trade and of friendship between the
two republics"
