A RECORD MAKER

One day the latter part of last week
Jas. e. Forde drove his Buick car up
the road to the top of the mountain
at the old Ruby camp, below Concon-
ully, and miners at work in the vicin-
ity stated that it was the first car that
had ever negotiated the heavy grade
on that road. Mention is made of the
incident because it shows what this
old car is able to accomplish after a
long and varied career. Mr.. Forbes
car has outlived the natural life of the
ordinary automobile, and the service
it has performed has been that that
would have taxed the endurance of the
best car manufactured. 1t is one
among the first cars that were intro
duced in this upper country. Mr.
Forde took his first lessons as a driv-
er on this machine, and Mr.. Forde was
no careful nor gentle helmsman when
breaking into the game. Stumps,
brush, stones, wire fencing, ground
hog holes and other impediments to
smooth sailing never Interfcred with
his getting there. He took the road as
he found it, even occasionally climb
ing pile driver or telephone pole he
could not go through, and never dod-
ged an obstacle. And the car stood
up under the strain without flicker.
That gasoline wind splitter has travel
cd more miles over rougher roads than
any car in commission in this state,
and after all the years of exacting
usage will make about as good time
and is as reliable rs the first day it
quite as pretty from an artistic point

On the ground that he was no orator,
and tried to kick back, but the men,

he had the job sawed off on him by a
whooping vote. If he were as skillful
with his mouth as he is with the knife
Doc would have the best speeler in the
state faded. Anyhow, if he does not

Encouraged by Creamery

Forder-1n a conversation with
your correspondent the other day
John Forrest, one of Forder's sub
stantial farmers, spoke enthusiastic
ally Of the proposed creamery in
Ordway. He said: "The new cream
cry in Ordway will mean a great
deal to us in this district. I will
add materially to the number of
milk cows l already have, and be-
lieve that it will be means of help
ing give a solidity to our section that
no other avenue affords. I have
talked with others and they are of
the same mind" Mr.. Forrest is one
of the first farmers in this locality
to realize the possibilities of this
having been here for over five years
and not having experienced a fail
ure.

cheap, because it is just what is need
ed with alfalfa to make good bal
anced ration. In proper proportions
these two feeds provide all the nutri-
tive elements required for balanced
ration which is absolutely essential
in properly feeding all farm stock,
and the beet pulp supplies the succu-
lence in addition. for when dried pulp
is soaked for a short time 1t will take
up from six to eight times its weight
in moisture.
Many tests have been made regard
ing the effects of beet pulp feeding on
milk production and it has been
found that the milk flow increased
from IS to 20 per cent whenever beet
pulp was fed. While dried beet pulp
is prominently a food for dairy cat
tie, it is scarcely less useful for other
farm live stock.

The Farmer Is King

I would like to be a farmer, and with
the farmers stand,
For everything we eat and wear
comes from the farmers land.
There's an Independence in it that is
sublime and grand,
For he holds the nations welfare in
the hollow of his hand.
I know there's work about it--without
work there is no gain;
1t gives fellow muscle and healthy
thinking brain.
He lives out in the open, far from
the trickster's clan,
And breathes a wholesome atmos-
phere that makes a manly man.
The Colorado farmer takes his stand
right at the top;
No hit and miss deductions-he al
ways gets a crop.
And what you call dry farming is far
from being dry;
He heads the nations output in oats
and wheat and rye.
These are not wild assertions; we
have the goods to show.
We invite the unbelieving. come and
see where fortunes grow.

Aaron Cook came over from Gun
nison Wednesday, in company with
his son, Fred Cook, who is in the
garage business there. He will re-
main for a couple of weeks but Fred
will probably return Sunday.
Mr.. Cook states that they are hav-
ing winter weather in Gunnison COM
pared to what is being given Ordway.
Last Friday morning it was "a below
zero and snow is eight inches deep.
Coming over Marshal Pass the train
he was on got stuck in the snow and
it was delayed two hours. He likes
Gunnison in many respects but says
it is not so progressive a place as is
Ordway. He has been feeling fine
and believes the higher altitude
agrees with him.

Beet Pulp As
. Dairy a Food
Beet Pulp as a Dairy Food

No modern dairyman needs to be
told that his cows must have sue
culence II they are to do their best
in milk production. II fresh pasture
is the ideal food for dairy cattle and
they give more milk and better milk
during that part Of the year when
they are getting their fill OF green
pasture, then a winter or dry season
feed that comes as near as possible
to supplying the same elements is
certainly necessary.
The introduction Of dried beet pulp
has solved the problem of providing
an all-the-year succulent feed. 1t
has been established by careful tests
that one ton of dried beet pulp con-
tains as much or more nutriment
than five tons Of good corn silage,
with equal or greater succulence. Be-
fore the advent of dried beet pulp
1t was necessary for the herds to be
close to a beet sugar factory mas
much as the great amount of mois-
ture which the wet pulp contains rem
ders 1t impracticable to haul it long
distances either by wagon or rail.
With the modern method of drying
the pulp, 1t may be shipped to dairy
men wherever they are located. 1t
is generally sold by the ton or by the
carload in sacks like bran, one ton of
dried pulp representing twenty tons
of fresh or wet pulp.
Dried beet pulp is particularly ap-
preciated by farmers and owners Of
small dairy herds, owing to the fact
that it does not require large storage
space. 1t has a unique value in sec
tions where alfalfa is plentiful and
