auspices of the Ebert County Short

Denver men. with a large number CT
other guests, inspected several OF the
largest and finest herds in the coun
ty. They expected to find a very
creditable showing and discovered
that their expectations were far ex
ceeded
At thee onclusion of their days

Elbert county men are developing
the industry into most valuable
asset to thes tate, and particularly to
Denver because OF the benefits which
Denver's livestock market derives

bill which provides that all of the
German guns and other trophies of
war are to be dist-ibited among the
various states, according to their
ratio of representation In the army.
The State Fairs OF the United States
are working to have all of the Ger

Silosi.


The first enumeration of silos in
Colorado is now being made by the
State Board of Immigration through
the several county assessors. who are
gathering this information along
with a wide range of agricultural
data which has not hereto fore been
available in the state. Though the
reports are not yet complete they
indicate that there are in excess
of 1000 silos in the state, Boulder
county having perhaps larger
number in proportion to the number
OF farmers than any other county.
The Arkansas valley makes an ex-
cellent showing ON silos. every coun-
ty in the valley having a very sub
stantial number. Weld county
leads in the total number of silos.
while only few counties, in the
districts, report none.

The State Stallion Law.
The governor has recently sign ed
one of the most drastic stallion laws
passed by a legislature. The bill
is calculated to shut out the scrub
horse and put an end to the produc-
ton of inferior draft animals. The
measure defines a grade and a pure
bred and prohibits the service of the
scrub. 1t provides that no stallion
or jack may be used for public ser
vice in thes tate without a license
front he State Board of Stock In
spection. The license specifies
whether the animal is grade or
purebred In case of a purebred the
companied by a certificate of regis
tration. The cost of such license is
$500. The application further
must have a certificate from a IL
censed veterinarian, stating that the
animal is not afflicted with any dis
eases or unsoundnesses uniting to
the animal for service.
An important change in the old
law is the section that provides for
premiums at fairs. Heretofore such
premiums have been given out only
to horses bred in Colorado. This
shut out from competition many fine
imported stations. which will now
be able to compete with Colorado
horses.

We now come to the last thing on

In the center o. this territory stands
the biggest and handSomeSt school

biggest and best school building for

We are raising corn, up to hundred

The town has four big tobacco ware

handle all the tobacco brought here
with ample capital and credit to do
business. Business houses in all

other things that can be said about
the town representing matters that
you can put down on a dollar and

there are two things that are worth
all and more than the above.
