CREAMERY COMPANY
Makes Splendid Showing at Annual
Meeting on Saturday


That the Rocky Ford Creamery
has been more successful during the
first year of operation than even the
most optimistic of its hackers had be-
lieved possible, was made manifest at
the annual meeting of stockholders in
this city last Saturday.
A few extracts from the report of
Buttermaker jacobson (Which report
was audited and approved by H. X.
VanAuken of the Hastings Industrial
Co., who supplied the machinery and
guaranteed its successful operation for
a year, will be of interest to our read
ers:
A total of n, 1877 pounds of Columbine
brand butter was manufactured by the
Rocky Ford creamery during its first
year of operation. The company paid
to farmers for butter fat in this time
the sum of SIT, go. The average
price paid for butter fat was 2SsI cents
pound.
The company cleared SS35.S5 above
expenses, which sum it was decided to
leave in the treasury and not declare a
dividend.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:

ing for Rocky Ford Keynote
of the Talks

Vi tHe liikS
Attesting to the popularity of
the movement inaugurated last
month at a midday luncheon un-
der the auspices of the Retail
Butchers and Grocers Association
nearly one hundred business men,
literally representing every line
of business and profession in the
city, with sprinkling of men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits,
gathered at the Cafeteria at noon
on Tuesday for the second month
ly luncheon and "get.together"
meeting.
About l o'clock the tables were
lined with hungry horde that
speedily demolished the splendid
dinner prepared under the watch
full care of that noted cook, Mrs.
Laura Bowman.
This brot the partakers thereof
to a most receptive mood for the
second part of the program,
which was briefly outlined by
President Govreau and most per-
tinently limned by Jos. Fl. Price
in most thotful and well-pre-
pared paper upon the subject of
"Closer Fellowship Between Bus
inessmen and Farmers" the
major portion of which The En-
terprise takes pleasure in present
ing to its readers.
Alderman Price was followed by
Judge Minor, who made some
suggestions as to "What We
Most Need" The. speaker thot
our greatest need was the build
ing up of prosperous community
of small farmers to quadruple the
present numbers, and from his ex-
perience he instanced how this
could be accomplished by unity
of effort upon the part of the bus
mess men.
Agriculturist Joehnck, the next
speaker, wrestled with the impor-
tant subject of Credits" He
discredited the action of some
merchants in extending credit to
beet field laborers without first
investigating their ability and in
tent to meet their obligations.
Director G. +. Burke of the
Otero County Agricultural Asso-
citation said that the businessmen
and farmers i'll and about Rocky
Ford ara recognized rs the best
''boosters" IN the state. He be-
lieved that if the spirit of push
was encouraged in agricultural
pursuits it would fill this imme
diate vicinity with the most pros
porous farmers and businessmen
in the West.
E. G. Shelton extolled the spirit
of helpfulness that was manifest
and prophesied that movement
had been started that would re-
suit in great good to the town
and community.
Mr.. Bundy, a visitor from
Swink, was introduced and made
couple of suggestions that are
well worthy of emulation: He is
interested in grocery store in
onr neighbor town where they
handle tomatoes canned in Rocky
Ford and only beet sugar is sold.
Senator Crowley placed himself
in the 80. T. c." class-whatever
that is-and to encourage cooper
alton between the business men
and farmers in bringing the town
a2d community to the front, told
of the early day cooperation be-
tween he and the late Senator

What Cathedrais Mean.

James Lane Allen has avOwed that
his purpose in writing "A Cathedral
Singer" the new romance, is to estab-
lish the new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine in New York more securely in
the heart Of the nation.
Nothing that man has ever been
able to build, he says, is loved for so
many reasons as a cathedral. It is
loved for it's spiritual meaning. for
the arts that enter into it's structure,
for the action of nature upon it through
sunlight and rain, and the brief NOR
tally of the blossom on it's walls.
But it is above all the literature
which gathers about a cathedral, Mr.
Allen says, that makes it loved, link
ing it to innumerable human lives and
transferring it to human affection.
American literature entering the
service of our great cathedral can
complete it's destiny as an American
cathedral, Mr.. Allen believes.

Much Work to Make Helmet.

Sixty-fOur distinct operations are

plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step is stamping
out disks from larke sheets of steel A
special machine is used for this pur-
pose, exerting a pressure of $50 tons.
and capable of cutting out 5000 steel
disks day Each disk is placed under
a shaping machine, which presses the
disk into the form of helmet with
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown. some for ventilation pur-
poses, others for fastening on the regi-
mental crest. Each helmet is cleaned
and dipped in special mixture, which
makes it a dull, inconspicuous blush
gray. A lining and leather chin straps
are then fastened on, and the helmet
is complete. Since the French army
has been protected with the helmets
the number of deaths due to wounds
in the head has decreased to a remark
able extent.-Pearsons Weekly.

PREPARING THE GARDEN SOIL
Of Far More Importance Than Most
Gardeners ReaIize-Soil Must Be
Broken Early.

The preparation of the garden soil
is of far more importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have deep, mellow, friable soil
to hold moisture and promote the life
and development of soil organisms so
important to the fertile soil.
The soil should be broken early and
vegetation incorporated in time for it
to decay. A large per cent of vege-
table matter usually in it's final state
OF decomposition called humus is nee
essary. 1t may then be necessary
to rebreak, harrow and cross
harrow in order that a deep mulch may
be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir-
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both hui
mus and plant food and for that rea-
son is economical. 1t is a waste prod
uct at the barn, but valuable to the
gardener.

NEXT SEASONS GARDEN PLAN
Do Not Overlook important Matter of
Pruning and Anticipating Most
Careful Cultivation.

Having given thought to the plan
ming of your next seasons fruit, and
to your next seasons vegetable gar
den, and the variety you wish from
the one and the things you wish to
plant in the other, do not forget the
important matter of pruning and d.
viding and setting and anticipating
careful cultivation. Get all the gar
den tools and implements which you
will need in working properly. There
will be spades, hoes, lawn mowers,
trowels, knives, sprayers, ETC., to
think of and select from the best
devices offered by progressive manu-
facturers. In fruit growing and gar
dening, like in everything else, good
tools facilitate good workmanship
and are great time savers.

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
So Far as Its Guns Are Concerned
1t Is Just About the Weakest

about the submarine is its capacity to
enter into and operate in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But, once in those waters, the

narily limited. Indeed. its capacity 10

which submarines coming or gong
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control Dy
these means, and even in comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart, altogether, from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed,
what is its value when it is at work
in hostile waters? 1t has two weap-
ons-the torpedo and the gun. 1t can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is,
compared with the number of rounds
of gun ammunition that it can stow
away. The torpedo, too, is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best of times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible, then, the
captain of the submarine has done his
work with his guns. But as gunned
ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma-
rine is the weakest thing afOat. Hence
it's guns can be used only against I'M
armed craft. 1t dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. II it
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged, it's speed of approach is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-power
speed of the slowest warship. Hence
speed and a high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make them
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance, their course takes them
within the submarines striking radius.
The point is that if the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged,
and if it keeps submerged its maneu-
vering speed is low, its capacity to get
within striking distance is very limit
ed, and it's weapon very uncertain. Ii
the ship it intends to strike is both
at speed and accompanied by destroy
ers of fast craft, the area of danger
to the submarine and the intensity Of
the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes al
together negligible.
