COUNTY'S TAX RATE WILL
BE REDUCED; ON CASH BASIS

Though the Colorado Tax Com
mission has reduced the total
valuation of the various public
utility companies in Clear Greek
county in the sum of $5l $50, the
total net valuation Of all property
in the county shows an increase
of $75,535 over the figures of the
previous year. This will permit
another reduction in the county
levy, and were it possible for the
various school districts of the
county to reduce their levies, which
are at the maximum figure, the
taxpayer would be relieved of a
large portion of the burden he now
bears.
During the past few years the
county commissioners have been
able to effect several reductions in
the county taxes, but there was a
corresponding increase in school
levies, with the result that no real
relief came to the taxpayer The
commissioners have often been un-
justly criticised, when as matter
of fact they are entitled to words
of praise.
The county board of equaliza-
ton protested the valuation placed
upon the property of the Colorado
Power company, and through the
efforts of County Attorney Reg
ennitter, who presented the OBJ
jections in very forcible way,
the company's valuation was re-
considered and the original figures
were raised $54, ,72O, bringing their
assessment up to within SLIGO of
the total assessment of the United
Hydro company and the Colorado
Power company for the previous
year. Now that the Colordo Power
has also purchased the business
of the Gem Electric company, the
county will loose considerable taxes
next year. While the franchises
and good will of the big company
are more valuable than ever before,
much of the equipment has been
junked and the physical value is
not here for taxing purposes.

IDAHO SPRINGS COLO, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1917
Fire Department Joins
State Association

Aessrs. P. P. Graham. Charles
Brandstetter, G. j. Nicholas and
Ray Noone came down from
Georgetown Monday evening with
A. E. Straub to attend the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Idaho
Springs fire department and to
enlighten the local organization on
the benefits to be derived by all
FIRE companies under the new
pension bill, and to induce the
local boys to join the state as
sociation. After the Georgetown
boys explained matters fully a un-
animous vote was passed authoriz-
ing Idaho Springs to join with the
other volunteer fire departments
in making the state association a
powerful organization
Though the new pension law
carries with it benefits for the
fireman himself and for his family
in case of his death, there are
numerous small items still in the
bill which must be amended, and
there is no doubt but that with as
powerful an organization backing
it as the state association promises
to be in the very near future, it
will no longer be necessary for a
volunteer firemen to discharge his
duties with the fear of suffering
an injury with no provision for
the care of himself or family.
Upon the sounding of a fire
alarm, regardless of weather con-
ditions or possible dangers, the
volunteer fireman responds to the
call the same as if a member of u
paid fire department, and it is but
worthy that some provision should
be made for his protection.
The state association in its in
fancy worked out our present
pension bill, and if for no other
reason than as mark of apprecia-
ton of their untiring efforts in
having it passed, all organized fire
departments should gather together
under one banner and assist the
state association in aiding our ever
faithful and untiring protectors
the members of the volunteer
FIRE departments.

Kentuckys' Baby Oil Well

1t is but short time ago that
what is termed, ''The Baby Well''
of Kentucky was brought in with
a production at depth of less
than so feet. The cost of this
well is said to be less than $4,000,
which was fully covered and a
balance left over from the 6rst
days's flow of oil.
In matter of depth this well
establishes a record for shallow
ness, and while other wells have
been reported at around 100 feet,
the average of Kentucky oil wells
will be of greater depth.
In the Irvine field, wells are
drilled at 700 or 800 feet, and in
some parts of the state, 100 or
1900 feet. 1t is considered that
that the wells of Kentucky will
not run over $1,000 or 81 800 for
drilling.

Denver Printer LOnqS
For Mountain Ranch

After having spent ten years in
the con6ning labors Of a metro
politan paper, Gere II. Hurd. night
foreman in the composing room
of the Denver Post, is desirous of
taking up life on mountain ranch,
and was here this week making
an investigation. He s contem-
plating the purchase of the James
D. Parke ranch of 100 acres at the
head of Soda creek. There is a
good house, partly furnished, and
an equipment of farmi g
machinery, although the ranch
has not been occupied for about
three years. The deal has not
actually been closed, although a
deposit has been made and Mr..
Hurd was ready to have the title
examined. His inquiry about
town caused dampening of his
enthusiasm in regard to the pros
poets for successful rancbers
career and may cause him to alter
his plans. He is determined,
however, to break away from the
strenuous duties of night work on
the Post and if he doesn't finally
close deal for the Parke ranch
may land in some other favored
spot.

DIFFICULT

Failure to get butter Ito come" by
churning is not an uncommon expert
ence during the winter season. The
trouble most often occurs on those
farms where only a few cows are
MIXED. If the milk of one or two
animals is responsible for the diff
cult %churning, other milk, when
mixed with it, will overcome the
trouble. Usually when the trouble
occur it is due to one of two causes:
an incorrect churning temperature, or
because of the peculiar composition
of some milk and cream.
During the cold months of the year
cream should be churned at a higher
temperature than during the summer
months. For this reason a careful
regulation of the temperature is nee
essary to give the proper ease in
%churning. If the temperature at
which the churns is not high during
the winter months, the cream must
be churned a longer time to form
butter. One may churn at so low a
temperature that butter will not form
with a reasonable amount of churn-
ing. 1t is a very common practice
during the winter months to allow
the cream to become so cold that it
will not churn.
Sometimes when cold cream is
agitated in the churn it will whip
and expand until the churn is nearly
fulk In this condition butter will
not form because the cream cannot
be sufficiently agitated. When a low
temperature of the cream is the cause
of difficult ~churning the trouble may
be easily corrected by raising the
temperature. AS the winter season
approaches there is usually a larger
number of stripper cows. When a
COW becomes nearly dry the butter
fat globules in the milk become very
small and collect with great difficulty
on being agitated in the churn'
During the winter the feed is such
that the fat globules become very
much harder and this, likewise, inter
feres with ease in churning. The
cream also becomes more viscious as
the animals advance in their lacta-
ton period and this again makes
churning more difficult.
Whenever butter granules fail t.
appear in about 30 to 40 minute!
churning, the cream should be raiset
in temperature. It is well to raist

SUMNER

In Montana we fallow to kill weeds.
It may be advisable to leave the fall
lowing until the weeds get a good
start and as many as will terminate
have done so. Then pillow them all
under. The green material plowed
under will decay and release the
plant food material for next years
crop. Care should be exercised
throughout the summer to prevent
any weeds from going to seed.
Weeds on summe fallow take out
much plant food and if the weeds
mature, they decay very slowly and
thus lock up fertility.
In the southern part of the state
the fallow is used largely in the dry
land region for the purpose of saving
moisture. In that case the fallow
should be plowed earlier and kept
free from all growth throughout the
season. The fallow should be cult
waited as often as the surface becomes
compact. 1t is a good general rule
to cultivate after every rain. 1t is
generally good practice to leave the
surface rough, especially in regions
where winds r prevalent.
Following is sometimes practised to
rest the land. The crop following
the fallow is usually much better
than the proceeding one so that the
idea that the land needed crest" is
a natural one. What really happens
is this: There is considerable organic
matter, that is dead roots, stems, etc.,
which contain nitrogen, a valuable
plant food material. But this nitro
gen is not in a form that the plants
can use until the organic matter is
decayed. Cu~ltivating the summer
fallow makes the conditions ideal for
decay. The nitrogen is changed to
the form of ~nitrates. Nitrates are
available for plant use. Therefore,
the crop following a fallow, having
an abundance of nitrates, makes a
good growth; obviously, too, the fall
low will ultimately help to run down
the fertility.
The n~itrates, while very easily OBJ
tanned by plants. r also very easily
washed away in the drainage water.
Therefore, if we have heavy fall rains,
much of the available nitrogen will
be lost. Heavy rains any time after
the spring cultivation are likely to
wash out nitrates. If we have a cul-
tt crops as peas, corn or potatoes, the
extra nitrates are more apt to be
used up by the crop and thus saved.
Sometimes fallow is allowed to
grow to wild oats and pastured. 1t
would be a more economical practice
to seed a field for pasture and keep
the fallow clean. 1t is not a logical
or economical practice to allow any
weed growth on the fallow, no mat
ter what the object of the fallow.
