RAILROAD STOCK KILLING
AGREEMENT DESCRIBED
{. +. Stevens. Our Local Member, of
Inspection Board Believes II Will
Favor Ranchmcn.

Tom Stevens. Gunnison member OF
the State Board Of Stock Inspection
Commissioners reports that at the re
cent meeting of the board on the goth
Of this month, further progress was
made in the Railroad Stock-killing
Agreement. and while all the railroads
have not signed. il Is hoped they will
do 80 in time 70 get the agreement in
force for January lst. The terms
Of the agreement are believed much
more favorable to the stockmen than
anything heretofore in effect. The
| Denver Record Stockman gives some
details Of the plan As follows:
Tn" first agreement which was turn
cd down by the Stock Inspection Board
provided that the stock board should
pay the section men for skinning the
animals killed and have the animals
sent 10 Denver. This the board re
fused TO do and the railroads have
finally agreed to have the animals
skInncd at their own expense and all
sent to Denver. where they will be
"Eamlncd by an inspector appointed
by the stock board and paid by the
railroads for this service. Settlement
with owners will be made upon the
basis Of the assessed value for taxes
OF the animals in the county where
they were killed. An effort was made
10 force the railroads to pay for es-
trays, but this the railroads positively
refused and this can only be handled
through law. -.
The new proposed agreement is
much more favorable than anything
the railroads have yet rendered and,
if all agree to it, it will probably go
into effect on the first of January.
This agreement does not force any
stockmen to settle on its terms but,
as he will be compelled to go INTO
court otherwise, there is little doubt
but that most of them will accept the
agreement, which is much more fa-
vorabe than anything the stockmen
have had in number of years.
The matter was brought up before
the Stock Inspection Board at heir
meeting this week and the committee
was continued until the agreement is
finally settled, but the board indicated
that the agreement as proposed would
meet with its approval.

COTTONSEED CAKE VERY POP
ULAR FOR FEEDING CATTLE

Montrose Press:
The growers of stock thruout the
valley will be wise to buy cottonseed
cake and meal this fall and winter.
The supply of hay is likely to be short
before cold weather is gone and the
national plea is to use products which
produce just as healthful results and
save the staples. The cottonseed cake
and meal used in this valley last win
ter did great good and many fine re-
ports were received upon it. 1t is
said to have many advantages over
other forms of feed.

and his man Friday (Roosevelt)
sprung that word Conservation The
day is soon coming when they will be
laughed at for asking the government

The livestock survey board of the
Colorado Coupcil of Defense has asked
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad to
set aside week or ten days in which
no dead freight will be moved, and
all motive power will be utilized in
shipping out cattle before wintry
weather begins. The state livestock
inspection board will give its assist
ance in this. Whether the railroad
will be able to carry out the sug-
gestion is uncertain, but the company's
officials have promised to do their
best.
The federal government has done
well to call attention to the waste OF
farm machinery caused by lack of
suitable protection from the weather.
This is especially notable in western
states where the climatic conditions
are such that expensive machinery
may be left out of doors for weeks at
time without danger of rain. Sun.
wind and sand are destructive agents
as well as water and the careless
farmer in the course of few years
loses much more than would be re-
auired to build sheds for wagons,
moving machines and other imple-
ments.
The unusual demand for hay seems
to come largely from Texas feeders.
An exceedingly long dry spell there
has denuded the state of feed. In
some sections they have not had good
rains for year. The stockmen must
either buy hay at any price or sell
their starving cattle at any price.
Several Gunnison stockmen have thot
of going down there to buy, but they
are told that the cattle are SO poor
they will not bear shipment, and if
they did live thru the trip, our severe
winter would cause loss to unacclim-
ated stock. However, they may have
an open winter in Texas, in which
case the demand which is now fore
| ing up hay prices would fall of.

FEMALE LABOR IN THE

clares that there are now working
in the fields in the United States
more than a million and half
women. This is a most astonlsh-
inc declaration. There were only
a million slaves working in the
fields in the South when Presl-
dent Lincoln issued the emancipa-
ton proclamation. If Mr.. Rad
ford ir correct in his statement,
and he claims to have as his au-
thority the United States census,
his protest is certainly righteous
one. He demands that congress
make ON investigation. Among
other things he says:
There is no overseer quite SO
cruel as that of unrestrained
greed, no whip that stings like
the lash of suborned destiny and
no auctioneer block quite so
devolting as that of organized
avrice. Tho president of the
