Colorado Cow Stands Supreme.

A disinterested expert In the per-
son of H. Mendelson, agriculturtst IN
the employ OF the Great Western Su-
gar Company, finds that our Colora-
do farmers have the knowledge and
the means to get better cows than
the average corn belt husbandman,
and that. thanks to our cheap alfal-
ia and favorable climate, milk can
be produced cheaper here than fur
Their east, He holds that since the
price Of milk and butter is as high II
not higher here than farther east.
the profit per COW probably is. or
ought to be larger than in the east.
Setting forth some elaborate and
highly interesting milk COW observa-
tons in Thru the Leaves" pub
LEGATION issued monthly by the Long
mont sugar factory. Mr. Mendelson
shows that the number of milk cows
in Colorado in ten years ending 1916
increased so per cent and that the
price per head increased full 100
per cent. In 1907 there were 1885,
200 cows in Colorado, ranging in
price about s36 per head In 1916
the COW census showed $4,000 and
the price per head as $72. The av-
erage price per head for the whole
United States on January /. 1916,
was given by the Department of As-
riculture at $500. Colorado cows
therefore have an average price of
Sl9 more per head. The Colorado
price is exceeded only In the states
of Wyoming, Montana, Arizona and
Nevada. In the dairy states-those
having more than a million dairy
cows-the average price is very much
lower. In the six states-Wisconsin
New York. Iowa, Minnesota, Texas
and lllinois-as well as in averaging
the whole United States, the averas
price January !, 1916. was lower
than the average price January /,
1919. III NoioEduO, HoWeNeT, the
price per COW increased from SOS In
1915 to $72 in 1916.
According to Mr.. Mendelson. this
may mean that Colorado cows are
better than the average in these
states mentioned or that profits from
COW are SO much higher here that
the farmer is willing and able to
pay more, or that the farmer pays
too much in comparison. II is the
writer's belief however, as stated
above. that. on the whole, Colorado.
as 20 its breeds and milk production
stands well ahead of the other states.
Mr.. Mendelson has discovered that
there has been but small increase
In the number of dairy cows In the
United States in the last ten years.
There were POSES. 900 cows January
l. 1907. There were 2l.9SS, 900
cows January /. 1916. This is an
increase OF per cent In ten years,
while the population has increased
during this time about 30 per cent.

apparent unusual shortage.''
Predict $12 at Mines.
With these statements of a COM
pany that ships no coal to this Sec
ton in mind, a letter from the Blan-
chard-BunneH Coal company of
Sprin gfield a firm that does supply
dealers in New England, is interest
ing and the reader can draw his own
comparisons. This firm writes in
part: 1--WE offer you subject to prior
sale two cars chestnut $500, two cars
each egg, stove $3.50 and pea coal
$3.50 all f. o. b. cars mines and prices
subject to Immediate acceptance.
''There was practically no coal Of
fered in the regions yesterday Or to-
day, and we cannot see any relief for
at least two months. We expect in
dependent coal to reach 81 or $12 at
the mines within the next thirty days.
x x prices are changing daily and
we quote only from day to day"
Freight $3.50 Per Ton. -- e~.
With these facts in mind the ulti-
mate cost of ton of coal here can
easily be estimated. 1t costs the local
dealer exactly $3.50 per ton to get his
carload of coal from the mines to his
local yards. Thus, coal costing, as
predicted above, $11 per ton at the
mine, would cost the New Britain
dealer $3.50 in his yard. Added costs
of unloading, hauling, etc., together
with the margin Of profit, would boost
the price considerably higher.

SOCIETY FOLK
DANCE EN- MASQUE
Brilliant Affair Held for Benefit of
Visiting Nurses Association Is
Well PatrOnized.

The gymnasium at the Y. w. G. A.
was riot of brilliant colorings last
evening as local society folks arrayed
in costumes OF every conceivable de-
scriptiOn danced at the ball masque
given for the benefit Of the Visiting
Nurses association. From a social
standpoint the affair was decidedly
successful; from a financial one 1t was
fully as much SO. The occasion proved
to be Just what was desired by a
large number Of people and it fitted
into their moods exactly. Spontaneity
coupled with the informality of the
fancy dress costume was responsible
for d most enjoyable evening.
Between thirty and forty couple
jumbled by chance into a kaleide-
scope of colors formed a brilliant
spectacle as they swept the floor in
the grand march which opened the
affair The gallery, filled with spec
tators, could rot restrain burst Of
applause as roomwide and ten rows
deep the mosques stood at attention
before whirling into q dance. Witt
STEMS orchestra furnished an admir-
able incentive for the latest steps dur
ing the remainder of the evening. A
light lunch was served.

Expects No Coal Famine,

w. H. Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, in a public speech last week,
declared that there is really no short
age Of coal and the high prices are
being boosted solely for the benefit
Of the dealers. r: H. Johnston. pres
ident Of the City Coal and WOOD
company, upon reading Mr.. Trues-
dales speech declaring there is no
shortage Of coal, Immediately tele-
graphed him an order for coal. Yes
terday he received the following an
swer:
I'VE do not supply New England
with any coal and have not done so
for many years. Furthermore, our
company under a contract with the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Coal company made in 1909, sells all
of the coal it produces to that COM
pany and since the above date they
have sold all of the coal we have
mined.
1.-THE statement given out by me a
few days ago, to which you refer, was
given for the purpose of disabusine
the minds Of the public of the idea
that the leading coal companies had
made a large advance in the price OF
coal, as was being claimed by various
newspapers which have been promin-
ent in creating the paniclxy feeling
which exists as to the eastern country
facing coal famine. I am sure moth
ing Of the kind can occur this win

rections to create this feeling was

to profit unduly by the apparent un.

HAM AND" PRICE ADVANCES

NEW YORK, Oct. 5. - The in
crease in food prices was impressed
upon thousands of citizens yesterday

of all the staple dishes.
Bacon and eggs and ham and eggs
now cost 80 cents instead of 25c; a
small steak at 80 cents instead OF
25c; plain omlet has jumped from 15c
to zoe. Even corned beef has ad.
