and but little else. We are probably
producing as large quantities of lean
meat in proportion to the feed given
as they; in fact, am of the opinion
that we are growing our finished car
casses as cheaply as they, as we are
compelled to study cost accounting
or else quit.
l think now could go back to Iowa,
for instance, and raise hogs more
cheaply than one man out of a hun
dred does because hogs would be the
business with me instead of an Incl
dent to corn marketing, as it is to
most of them. Let us just sit tight,
hog production is increasing in the

The shake-up in Russia was no less
to have been expected than for the
same thing to have occurred in Ger
many or Prussia, or perhaps in Eng
land. The wonder is that it did not
begin sooner. The people ruled by
kings, emperors and czars have been
loyal and patient beyond belief. They,
themselves could have ended the
"causeless war before they were half of
them killed and the other half made
paupers for generations to come, mere

A Lesson for Hoo Raisers.

1t occurs to me that we hog men can
draw a very valuable lesson from the
International Stock show at Chicago

steer was California product that
had never tasted corn. Men from the
corn belt did not think such a degree
Of perfection was possible without
corn, but our western cousins have
shown them"

the crude methods pursued. all the bal
ancer of the corn ration their hogs
got was the offal from the steers or a
few stray wisps of only fair quality of
timothy or clover hay. When l made
some remarks about the unscientific
methods, the answer got was that
they were not trying hard to make
profit out of the hogs. but were get
ting out of big Job of corn hauling.

100000 a year. Naturally the rail
roads do not expect to pay this, but
their patrons will. 1t is also asserted

| Forest Ranger Roscoe L. Bloss, who
has been in charge of the Pig Creel.
District, has made public his resigna.
tion, effective March 31st.
There are $50 grazing applications
on file in the Supervisors office as
against $50 in 1916. The total num-
ber of cattle and horses applied for is
61,3S5 head as against $4,000 head in
1916. The total number which can be
approved this year is 447O0 head as
against 43,7O0 head last year.
The above figures would indicate
that the stockmen on the western
slope of Colorado have confidence in
the future prosperity of the STOCK ous-
mess.
At a recent meeting the Advisory
Board of the South Side Stock Grow
ers' association agreed TO furnish ten
men for a period of ten days to CO.
operate with the Forest service in the
eradication of the dangerous Ezrkspur
areas on the head of Cache Creek The
method of procedure will be to select
the patches of larkspur which grow
thick enough to be dangerous and
grub the plants by cutting Off the
roots from six to eight inches below
the ground.
Grover L. Sanders of Delta has been
recommended for appointment to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Forest Ranger Roscoe L. Bloss. It
is expected that Mr.. Sanders VIII take
charge Of the Buzzard Creek district
April 1 and his address
will be Collbran, Colorado.
The recent heavy snow whicfr Gov
cred what forage there was on the
winter ranges has made necessary the
feeding of even the stronger stock for
a longer period than usual. Local
stockmen are hoping for good weather
from now on.
