These rules eliminate TO a great ex-
tent over-stocking and the grass pir-
ate
The Colorado fence law should be
so amended that a fence sufficient to
keep cattle in a pasture when it con-
tains feed and water for the stock
contained therein should also, while
maintained, be a legal protection to
the stock inside the enclosure. A
similar fence should also be recogniz-
ed as a legal protection to the farm
er's crop.
Cattle should be furnished with
sufficient food and water to care for
them properly both winter and sum
mer; neglect of the owner to make
this provision should be made a mis-
demeanor and be punished as such.
This rule shopld also be made to ap-
ply on open Janges where it is shown
that several times the number Of
cattle are turned loose that the range
can properly care for.
At the present time the cattlemen
have all Of the cards in their hands

lists and devise satisfactory methods

The Passing Era

(By John E. Painter, Roggen, Colo.)
Situated on the beautiful lawn on
the east front Of the Colorado State
Capitol in Denver is a beautiful piece
Of bronze statuary, installed only a
few years ago, entitled, "The Passing
Era" This represents an Indian
STOPPING over buffalo he has just
killed. Today the passing era would
be more vividly portrayed by a statue
of the faithful cowboy in his pic
turesque makeup and his effective lar
lat, sitting on his trusty pony.
The remarkable poster lately sent
out by Clay, Robinson and Company
and being used this year as one of
the Stock Show posters most vividly
portrays the changes Western cattle
have made in the last thirty years
due to the intelligent methods used
in their production This poster con
tains colored reproductions, the first
being from a photograph or a group
Of long legged, narrow gauge, long
horned steers Of the early SOS, and
the other below a splendid view of
some well bred modern type Here
ford cattle raised in Texas and on a
corn belt farm.
The wide open range business in
Colorado has gone with the rowing
Indian and buffalo, never to return.
True, there still remains very much
open territory, much of it fit only for
grazing. The best method Of regu-
lating the use of this remaining pub
lie commons is perhaps the most i'm
portant issue that faces the cattle
men today.
The range cattle business has offer
ed one of the most alluring induce
ments and attractive features Of from
tier life for the past three or four
decades. The pioneer cattle man has
done more, perhaps, than any other
class of citizen to pave the way for
opening up the great West. The
open range Of the early days, with its

As Kiowa, Baca and Pueblo coun-
ties are each nearly double the area
Of Prowers county the lead of this
county is far greater than the figures
look. OF the counties the same size
Us Prowers, only Bent has as much as
fifty per cent of our total number or
value of stock. This remarkable
showing is an evidence of the great
value Of our big staple crop, alfalfa,
and also Of the great impetus given
the dairy industry by the location of
the Helvetia milk condensery.
The assessment is taken each year
after most of the feeding operations
are over, SO the stock bought for feed
ing is not included in these figures.
Prowers county also leads the valley
in feeding for the markets. The big
stock industry is one of the great
reasons for Prowers county's pros
perity and the new settlers, who stay
with US, will all soon become stock
men and each one will soon have a
small herd. This means a great in
crease Of the number of stock and
this is forecasted by the increase of
the past year as the number Of head
OF stock in the county in 1916 showed
an increase Of 5000 over 1915 and the
valuation increased by S3O5, 900 This
increase alone equals the total figures
for many Of the farming counties
which are no larger than Prowers
county. Prowers county will soon be
the leader in stock as well as alfalfa
and its products.

Of romance and vigorous manhood
that appeals to the imagination, but
he belonged to the whole people. His
passing is to be regretted not because
his career was untitled, but because
the people who loved and admired him
will miss him. No man in the country
ever lived life more strongly than he.
He sounded every depth of love, pleas
'ure, successful business, excitement
and adventure, drank deeply at the
fountain of human experience.
Buffalo Bill had known with un-
derstanding every sort Of man from
the primitive red skin to the royalty
Of Europe, was received everywhere
and was at home equally with all. He
was big hearted, generous and a dom
mating figure. His greatest achieve
ment was in his later years, when he
came to this region which we are
pleased TO call the midland empire,
and promoted a great constructive
work in founding the city that bears
his name and developing a splendid
section.
To be sure Cody was Snowman
more than anything else, but to the
hundreds Of thousands who saw him
every year at the head of his marvel
Gus organization he was not thought
Of in that sense. The middle aged
man and the growing youth saw in
him a picture of passing west and
idealized his as the life that each
would like to have chosen.-Billings

President d. W. Thomas, Of the
Colorado Association Of Commercial
Executives, has issued a call for the
annual meeting of the association to
be held in Denver on Friday and Sat
urday, January Goth and 9th. Ar
rangements have been made TO hold
the meeting in the offices Of the Col
orado State Board Of immigration at
the state house. The annual stock
show will be on during that week
and reduced rates will be in effect on
all railroads.
The commercial executives have
been cooperating actively and effec-
lively with the State Board Of Immi-
grafton in all Of its work, and par
ticularly in the agricultural and in
dustrial survey Of the state. The
booklets. which have been prepared as
a result of this survey, will be pub
lished at that time and will be care
fully reviewed by the commercial
secretaries. In view of the important
part that has been played by the com
mercial bodies Of the state in making
the work Of the Board Of Immigration
effective, it is expected that con-
siderable part Of the meeting will be
devoted to the discussion Of plans
for future work Of the board
Cooperation is the keynote Of the
boards program in its efforts to aid
in developing the resources Of the
state. Cooperation is also the keynote
Of the work Of the different CONNER
cial organizations in their efforts to
build up their local communities. Nat
urally, the best results from the state
as a whole are to be obtained through
earnest and intelligent cooperation Of
all these forces, which are daily
working with the same end in view.
A proper coordination of the func-
tions of -hese different organizations
under the direction Of central body
has already gone far towards avoid
ing unnecessary applications of effort
and expenditure There is no doubt
that plans will be set on foot at this
meeting which will result in making
the Immigration Board, with the aid
Of the local commercial bodies, a
more effective agency for the up
building Of the state.
