Western Colorado Oil Co.

A stock company has been organ
lied in Hotchkiss for the purpose of
boring for oil in the country just
north of town. There is flow of
natural gas on one of the hills and
it is generally believed that If a well
were bored that oil would be found
in paying quantities. An effort is
being made now to find one hundred
men who will each take 800 worth
of stock, the money to be used. In
drilling. Mr.. Roberts. who is getting
the subscriptions. is meeting with
much success and we are of the opin-
ion that it is a good gamble for those
who can spare that amount of money.
There is no question but there is
oil in this country some place and the
only way to find 1t is to drill. The
natural gas surely comes from the
oil and If the company sinks its well
at the right place. oil will be en-
countered.-Hotchkiss Herald.

Rabbits as Orchard Pests.

During the winters of deep SHOWS.
rabbits, especially jacks, become a
serious pest to young orchards. by
girdling the trees just above the
snow line. They seldom attack plum
or cherry trees. apple being the one
usually damaged.
Various methods of protecting the
trees from the rodents have been used
with more or less success. One of
these is common "a inch rabbit wirs
rolled into a cylinder and placed
around the three trunk.
The IT, S. Department OF Agricul-
ture recommends the following wash.
to be applied to the tree trunks with
a brush:
Unslacked lime ..-...-..-.20 pounds
Flowers of sulphur ........15 pounds
This wash has been used to our
knowledge successfully in Colorado.
When trees have been girdled. the
gnawed surface must be covered at
once, DelOTe tne Wlnu anu Sun nave
access to the wound. The injured
parts may be painted or covered with
grating wax.
AS a rule, trees treated in this man
ner. in the spring will grow new bark.
In cases of severe girdling. the meth
cd of bridge grating may be used.
this operation being a simple one for
a nurseryman familiar with the pro
cess of grating.
The following method of poisoning
was used successfully in an or
chard near Fort Collins last winter,
fifty jack-rabbits being killed In one
night.
Cut a slit in an apple and insert
strycbnine alkaloid, powdered. the
right amount being what the tip of a
knife blade will hold, close the slit
and wipe the apple to remove the
bitter drug on the outside. Scatter
the poisoned bait through the orchard
at the base of the trees.-W. l.. Bur-.

BOOZE BREAKS IN MAIL AND
SATURATES PARSONS TURKEY

For a combined Christmas and
birthday present for life long friend
at Eckert, Colo, near Delta. Joseph
Allinson chose a quart of old whiskey
and a package of cigars. The Eckert
friend will not get the package, and
Allinson, before the week is up, may
be called upon to answer the charge
of violating the postal laws.
The quart was not wrapped ac-
cording to postal orders. 1t was
heaved and tossed about by the
clerks during the holiday rush of the
mails. 1t broke and its contents
trickled inside a big Christmas tur-
key, assigned to a country pastor.

the glass helped make hash of ship
ment of celery.
Il do not know what I will do with
the case when 1T comes time to act
said United States Attorney Tedrow.
Il do not believe Allinson meant to
break the law. | am sure he didn't
mean to break the bottle: therefore
there may be an excuse for lack OF
intent during the holidays. The law
is plain, however that no one is per
mitted to send spirituous liquors
through the mails.-Denver Post.

A Plea for Farm Records.

Though farming is the oldest bust
ness on earth, it is only in recent
years that farmers are beginning to
realize that bookkeeping is as essen.
tial in their business as in that of
bankers or merchants. Farm records
enable one to ascertain what progress
he is making, if any and in what di-
rections. A farmer is entitled to in
terest on his investment and wages
for his labor. A good system of ac-
counts would often show the farmer
to be living on the income from his
investment and receiving no returns
for his labor. He, might find himself
to be losing money on certain crops
and making his more remunerative
crops pay the balance. If complete
records are kept for several years.
the farmer will be enabled to pre-
determine from his statistics. very
The records kept by farmer need
not be an elaborate set of accounts.
such as might be used in the business
of the merchant; few simple ac-
counts, requiring only a few minutes
of time each day. are all that are re-
quired. The most important single
account and the one with which any
system of accounts should be begun.
is the farm inventory. This should
be taken annually, preferably at the
beginning of the year or just before
the spring work opens. This account
alone will determine whether or not
the farmer is receiving the income
he should but it will not determine
which of his crops is bringing the
greatest returns on the investment
To accomplish this he should keep "A
simple record Of the cost Of each crop.
allowing fair price for the labor OF
men and horses.
Similar accounts should be kept
with live stock; e. g, horses, dairy
cattle. beef cattle. hogs, etc. In live
stock accounts the most troublesome
item is the feed; but no item is more
important, as extravagant feeding is
one of the surest signs of misman-
agement. The feed item may be es-
timated by weighing the feed for one
day each month.
summary of the various accounts
should be prepared at the end of the
year. as a basis of comparison. and
for permanent record.

Bookkeeping" gives sufficient infor-
not a trained bookkeeper. to keep all
the accounts needful.-Mortimer

URIC ACID IN. MEAT -.
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a Glass Of Salts If Your, Back

Drink More Water.

If you have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meats form
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and frritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and, flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine, so it no long.
