INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
ALL THE AUTHORITIES SAY
You Should Therefore"Swat the Roos-
ter"at the First Opportunity andA-
void Feeding a Deadhead and a Nui-
sance During the Summer Months.

By c. s. Anderson, of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved. Fertile eggs will keep
equally as well as infertile ones pro
vlding at no time they have been
brought to a degree of heat where the
germ starts to develop. In holding
fertile eggs for preserving, they
should not be allowed to get above
30 degrees +. During the early
spring months this is easily done, but
in warmer weather poultrymen should
take the precaution and produce in
fertile eggs. Fertilization is not an
incentive to egg production among
domestic fowls, and the number of
eggs produced will be in no way di-
minished.
The infertile eggs contain no germ
to be developed, withstand more heat,
are slow to decay and can be preserv-
ed with the minimum amount of loss.

TRAINING TWO DANDY RACE
HORES HERE FOR CIRCUIT

No doubt you have noticed the two
splendid specimen of horsefesh that
have appeared on the streets about
town for the last week or so. They
are Redbuck, owned by ]. W. Lee of
Longmont, and Jack Dempsey, owned
by Geo. Anderson of Gunnison. Both
are in training here for the Salida
races the Fourth, Cattlemen's Day at
Gunnison, and then tour thru the
state following up the fairs. BILLY"
Hoskinson is training the horses and
will ride them thru the racing season.
Redbuck is large sorrel weighing
about 1900 pounds. His sire was
Coldeck. and his dam was an imported
Merquith. Horse fanciers will know
that Coldeck was by Steeldust, one of
the great horses in American racing
history. Redbuck has had an inter-
esting career, one finds when he traces
it back several years. He was first
raced in Denver, then at Reno, Nevada
where he took the track record which
he now holds. After the races at
Reno, he was shipped to the Exposi-
tion in California, and then from there
to Greeley. This splendid horse was
on the train nine days on the way to
Greeley, was unloaded one day and
raced the next, beating fine field of
horses. After wintering in Denver,
he was raced at Salida in the spring,
then at Steamboat Springs, and Krem-
mling. When the racing season at
Grand Junction was over, Salida rae
es were again entered in the fall.
Redbuck is noted for his intel
legence, clear-headedness, and clean
running in the field. His trainor,
Hoskinson, says he is one of the best
horses he had ever had in charge, and
is remarkably amenable to discipline.
Redbuck has won first wherever en-
tered and much hope is entertained
that he will hold to the record this
year. This horse captured all honors
in the high jump and hurdles one
year in Denver.
Jack Dempsey is younger horse
and this season is the opening of his
racing career. Geo. Anderson is ex-
pecting big things of this fine animal
in the coming season. Jack Dempsey
is by Doc Rice and Oakgrove, both
thorobreds. The line goes back to
Lexington, one of the greatest race
horses that ever lived. The horse
is blazed-face sorrel, weighing 1000
pounds, a beautiful, intelligent animal.

BEAVERS GETTING NUMEROUS
A big beaver, from three. to three
and half feet long, has taken up
his abode on the Gunnison near the
site of the old Van Meter bridge, and
goes about his business as though he
liked visitors. Quite a number
watched him Sunday.
Up the river they are getting very
numerous and are becoming quite a
nuisance to ranchmcn. Sometimes
they are SO persistent in building
dams that they flood gardens and
meadows and do much damage. Oc-
casionallv ranchman gets a permit
to kill them. Up in the higher wa
trr courses they are multiplying won

car Of mixed stuff, calves and yearling

price in Kansas City. One of these
steers brought him sl55. This is not
an exceptional price in these times for
a steer. but this fellow was a Hol-
stein. Several of the steers in this
load We're black and white and there
was no difference made in price on
that account. This statement is not
made with the idea of attempting to
persuade men who are growing beef
breeds to change over but rather to
encourage those who may have Hol-
stein steers to not be afraid to put
them on feed. The statement has
been made very often that black and
white steer will not bring as high q
price for beef. This does not seem
true in these times.
